enormous private collection of books. Established in 1638, the Harvard Library is considered as America's oldest.
In 1764, a disastrous fire broke out and it turned a

I had just delivered a memorized speech, and 1 was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The
audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last,
the moment of truth came. 1 was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My
heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However，it was an indescribable feeling
to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of
four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, "I felt like the 12-year-old
boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh." Oh yeah, I could relate.
l had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech
Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many
failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second
contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn't accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until l thought about my hero.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise --- through learning stories about Lincoln. I discovered that I can fail
successfully.

C
Me: Hello Dad! I've an exam today.
He: All the best son! I'm getting a strong feeling. You'll rock it today. May god bless you! Me: Thank you dad. Bye!
And I hang up the call.
My friend standing beside me chuckles, "Do you do this before every exam "” I answer, "Yes, I feel good and
encouraged, and so do they. "It hardly takes a minute to call up your parents, but it gives a lot of confidence and
makes their day too.
Not calling up parents is indeed a common mistake college student make. For me the most common mistake is
treating it like school. When 1 went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school. They
had the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking
during lectures and even didn't do the reading! They were still in“school" mode, thinking that the point was to get
through it with the least effort.
For my part, I was there after working in a beer factory for three years. 1 knew that I had gone to university
because I wanted to learn. I wasn't there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or
because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I 7think that this put me in a different mind. I read all the set
texts and I went to all the lecture sand seminars. Don't get me wrong. I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I
learnt a lot. I enjoyed it and it was rewarding to learn about the authors, their works, the critic's opinions etc.
The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to a lecture foreach novel was too
much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecture for that one and write their essay on that one book. They
thought that they were really clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselves out of
an education!
There are other mistakes that may cause future regrets for the college students. A large number of them focus too
hard on getting good grades, showing no interest in out-of-class side projects. Some complain that they are too busy
because of school. As a matter of fact, they do not seriously treat all the free resources that universities have to
offer.

the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking
during lectures and even didn't do the reading! 可知，当“我”上大学的时候，“我"周围的大多数人都是直接从学

the free resources that universities have to offer.可知，还有其他一些错误可能会给大学生带来未来的遗憾。他
们中的很多人过于专注于取得好成绩，对课外项目毫无兴趣。一些人抱怨他们因为学校变得太忙。事实上，
他们并没有认真对待大学提供的所有免费资源。3. 对比选项：由此可推断，大学生应该利用好大学提供的
各种资源。B项意为"充分利用好所上的大学”，符合文意。A项意为"不要在学业上对自己太苛刻"，C项意
为"下课后放松一下”，D项意为"感谢他们现在所做的一切"，均不符合文意。

D
Asthma(哮喘) and allergy (过敏) attacks have increased in the United States, despite the fact that our outdoor air
quality has improved. Some researchers think these problems have increased because kids are spending too much
time indoors.
When outdoors, we are exposed to different kinds of pollen(花粉 ) and dust. But when indoors, we are also
exposed to allergens(过敏源). Allergens cause allergies and most people know that allergens can make you sneeze,
have runny eyes, and other cold-like symptoms(症状 ). But allergens can also lead to asthma attacks, which are
more serious. Asthma symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, especially during exercise and tightness in
the chest. Allergic asthma affects about three million children(8 to 12 percent of all children) and seven million
adults in the United States each year!
You can get rid of the allergens from your environment! Most children with asthma are allergic to something, so
staying away from the allergen should help control the asthma. If you have asthma or allergies, stay away from
animals, remove the teddy bears, rugs and curtains in rooms that you spend a lot of time in. Removal of dusty
things can help you breathe more easily. If it's trees and pollen that affect you, air conditioning and air filters(空气
过滤器) should help.
And research helps, too! Children whose parents, brothers or sisters have asthma are more likely to develop it
themselves. But even though our genes do play some part in whether or not well have asthma, researchers hope to
make the most progress in fighting the disease by looking at the environmental aspect (方面) of asthma. The hope
is that if kids are exposed to fewer allergens early in . life, they'll be: less likely to develop allergic responses.
Asthma research is performed at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and at the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases(NIAID).
10 / 20
32. What makes asthma and allergy attacks increase in the United States

A. Allergens in home environment can affect our health.
B. The number of allergens in the average home has decreased.
C. Asthma symptoms are the same as those of the common cold.
D. Allergens from outdoors are more dangerous than those in our homes.
34.What do we know from the passage
A. Allergies are more serious than asthma.
B. People do not get asthma when they are outdoors.
C. we should stay away from allergens to help control asthma.
D. Children whose parents have asthma are certain to develop it.
35.Where can you most probably find this passage

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to
my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was
home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me.“No Santa Claus!”she shouted,“Ridiculous! Don't believe
it.”"That rumor(谣言)has been going around for years, and it makes me mad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go.”
“Go where, Grandma " I asked. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a
little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars." Take this
money," she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and
walked out of Kerby's.
l was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by
myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few
moments 1 just stood there, confused(感到困惑的), holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to
buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind
me in Mrs Pollock's grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for
recess(课间休息)during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough(咳嗽),
but we knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I
settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
‘Is this a Christmas present for someone " the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars
down. "Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

A
There are plenty of reasons why people go to the library. People go there mainly for school, for work, or for
personal research. There are a few who make use of the library only
when specific data or information can't be had by any other means. No matter you’re your motivation for visiting
the library is, you'1l surely want to set your eyes on the following four
largest libraries in the world
Washington D.C's Library of Congress
If you've already watched the movie National Treasure 2, then you've already taken a glimpse of this impressive
library. Within this library, you'll find all you need to answer your
questions about culture, science, philosophy, history, and any other subject matter. It has been used in numerous
movies. With a vast book collection at over 30 million and written in just about any language you can think of, the
Library of Congress, established in 1800, definitely deserves all the fame. The public can visit the library, but only
high-ranking American officials are allowed to check out books.
Beijing's National Library of China
Situated in Beijing and with 26.3 million books in its collection, the NLC is sure to give joy to the average
bibliophile(藏书家).Among its books, you'll find the world's greatest and richest complications of Chinese writings
and ancient documents. Founded in 1909 and opened
doors to the public three years after, the NLC also contains a lot of Qing Dynasty writings as well as a collection of
literature written on bones and tortoise shells.
Massachusetts' Harvard University Library
Compared to all the other libraries in universities in the world, Harvard University Library houses the most
enormous private collection of books. Established in 1638, the Harvard Library is considered as America's oldest.
In 1764, a disastrous fire broke out and it turned a
considerable number of books into ashes. Today, the library has a total of over 13 million books displayed in 90
library wings, each dealing with a particular field of study.

I had just delivered a memorized speech, and 1 was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The
audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last,
the moment of truth came. 1 was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My
heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However，it was an indescribable feeling
to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of
four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, "I felt like the 12-year-old
boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh." Oh yeah, I could relate.
l had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech
Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many
failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second
contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn't accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until l thought about my hero.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise --- through learning stories about Lincoln. I discovered that I can fail
successfully.
24.How did the author feel after finishing his speech
A. Excited B. Relaxed C. Nervous D. Confident.
25.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph3
A. He was disappointed with his preparations.
B. He hurt his toes on the way to the library.
C. He got up late on the day of the contest.
D. He was bottom of his group.
26.what made the author decide to enter the second contest
A. The warmth of the victory.
B. The inspiration from Lincoln.
C. His eagerness for the prize money.
D. His desire to show himself on the stage.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Learn to fail successfully
B. Never mind others' judgments
C. Lincoln-my hero
D. Losing-an indescribable feeling
C
Me: Hello Dad! I've an exam today.
He: All the best son! I'm getting a strong feeling. You'll rock it today. May god bless you! Me: Thank you dad. Bye!
And I hang up the call.
My friend standing beside me chuckles, "Do you do this before every exam "” I answer, "Yes, I feel good and
encouraged, and so do they. "It hardly takes a minute to call up your parents, but it gives a lot of confidence and
makes their day too.
Not calling up parents is indeed a common mistake college student make. For me the most common mistake is
treating it like school. When 1 went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school. They
had the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking
during lectures and even didn't do the reading! They were still in“school" mode, thinking that the point was to get
through it with the least effort.
For my part, I was there after working in a beer factory for three years. 1 knew that I had gone to university
because I wanted to learn. I wasn't there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or
because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I 7think that this put me in a different mind. I read all the set
texts and I went to all the lecture sand seminars. Don't get me wrong. I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I
learnt a lot. I enjoyed it and it was rewarding to learn about the authors, their works, the critic's opinions etc.
The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to a lecture foreach novel was too
much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecture for that one and write their essay on that one book. They
thought that they were really clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselves out of
an education!
There are other mistakes that may cause future regrets for the college students. A large number of them focus too
hard on getting good grades, showing no interest in out-of-class side projects. Some complain that they are too busy
because of school. As a matter of fact, they do not seriously treat all the free resources that universities have to
offer.
28.The writer begins the passage with a dialogue in order to_
A. show off his writing skills
B. expect his friend to admire him
C. lead in the topic naturally
show he likes making phone calls
29.Why did the writer want to go to college
A. Because his parents forced him to.
B. Because he learned from his friend.
C. Because his teachers asked him to.
D. Because he was dying for knowledge.
30. What do the underlined sentences in Paragraph 5 mean
A. They lost their learning chances without noticing it.
B. They made up excuses for their laziness in learning.
C. They often pretended to be working hard at everything.
D. They told lies about what they were doing in college.
31.According to the passage, college students are supposed to________.
A. stop being hard on themselves academically.
B. make the most of the university they go to.
C. have some relaxation after taking classes.
D. feel thankful for what they are doing now
D
Asthma(哮喘) and allergy (过敏) attacks have increased in the United States, despite the fact that our outdoor air
quality has improved. Some researchers think these problems have increased because kids are spending too much
time indoors.
When outdoors, we are exposed to different kinds of pollen(花粉 ) and dust. But when indoors, we are also
exposed to allergens(过敏源). Allergens cause allergies and most people know that allergens can make you sneeze,
have runny eyes, and other cold-like symptoms(症状 ). But allergens can also lead to asthma attacks, which are
more serious. Asthma symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, especially during exercise and tightness in
the chest. Allergic asthma affects about three million children(8 to 12 percent of all children) and seven million
adults in the United States each year!
You can get rid of the allergens from your environment! Most children with asthma are allergic to something, so
staying away from the allergen should help control the asthma. If you have asthma or allergies, stay away from
animals, remove the teddy bears, rugs and curtains in rooms that you spend a lot of time in. Removal of dusty
things can help you breathe more easily. If it's trees and pollen that affect you, air conditioning and air filters(空气
过滤器) should help.
And research helps, too! Children whose parents, brothers or sisters have asthma are more likely to develop it
themselves. But even though our genes do play some part in whether or not well have asthma, researchers hope to
make the most progress in fighting the disease by looking at the environmental aspect (方面) of asthma. The hope
is that if kids are exposed to fewer allergens early in . life, they'll be: less likely to develop allergic responses.
Asthma research is performed at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and at the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases(NIAID).
32. What makes asthma and allergy attacks increase in the United States
A Poor outdoor air quality.
B. Not enough outdoor time.
C. Too much pollen and dust.
D. The decrease of people's physical condition.
33. what can we know in the second paragraph
A. Allergens in home environment can affect our health.
B. The number of allergens in the average home has decreased.
C. Asthma symptoms are the same as those of the common cold.
D. Allergens from outdoors are more dangerous than those in our homes.
34.What do we know from the passage
A. Allergies are more serious than asthma.
B. People do not get asthma when they are outdoors.
C. we should stay away from allergens to help control asthma.
D. Children whose parents have asthma are certain to develop it.
35.Where can you most probably find this passage
A. In a storybook.
B. In a news report.
C. In a travel guide.
D. In a health magazine.

Most of us are too young to decide what we truly want to do for the rest of our lives.…Fortunately, with
proper planning, most of us have the chance to get a degree. 36 This article will help you get to know some
degrees and make the best choice.
An MBA is a common choice. But it's important to recognize the divisions(划分 )of an MBA and how each
will pay out. 37 Students will learn how markets work and how organizations add to and benefit the
economic environment. 38
A degree in biomedical engineering is unique. It combines engineering with the biology of medicine.
Engineering students will work alongside medical students to create cutting-edge technology. The coursework
needs a lot of effort.
A degree in chemical engineering is another difficult but high-paying degree to get. 39 They will try
to use chemical and biological process in engineering. The future is bright for these degree holders. Many research
jobs and food science jobs are coming out.
40 This new addition to engineering can really bring in a large amount of money. Students will focus
on computers, mathematics and physics. All these combined will push them into upper-level engineering careers.
A. But which degree will pay you the most
B. The next is electrical and computer engineering.
C. Graduates should expect to continue in research.
D. It is fair that nurses will bring in a higher paycheck.
E. Students will study engineering with a chemical focus.
