Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer — “That’s not a problem here.” — Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. ” Nor should he: in 2008 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 600,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字)by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc. , the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
64. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ______.
A. to express the opinions of many parents
B. to choose a right one for their daughter
C. to check the cost of college education
D. to find a right one near a large city
65. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ______.
A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nation
C. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups
66. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges ______.
A. that are protected by campus security B. that report campus crimes by law
C. that are free from campus crime D. the enjoy very good publicity
67. What is the text mainly about?
A. Exact campus crime statistics. B. Crimes on or around campuses.
C. Effective solutions to campus crime. D. concerns about kids’ campus safety.
64. B 考查细节理解。由第一段中的最后一句话“…a campus where their daughter would be safe”判断可知,The Mahoneys 夫妇花很长时间考察了很多学校的目的主要是为女儿的安全考虑的。故正确答案为B。
65. C 考查细节理解。由倒数第二段中的“…but some hold back for fear of bad publicity leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. ”得知一些大学因为害怕毁了自己的公众形象,就故意隐瞒了一些事实。hold back 意为“隐瞒、保留……”。
66. B 考查猜测词义。根据倒数第二段中的“Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous”可得知,根据法律大学要上报发现在他们校园里的犯罪行为,但一些大学因为害怕自己的公众形象被毁,就故意隐瞒不报,只剩下了一些老老实实的大学把发生在自己的校园的犯罪上报。故答案为B。
67. D 考查主旨要义。整篇文章都在围绕一个“concern”来写。从第二段的“The safely issue is a big one”和最后一段中的“…to help concerned parents”都可判断出正确答案为D。

词数:450 体裁:说明文 难度:4
I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
61. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A. Last summer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition.
C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter.
62. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.
B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.
D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
63. In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield?
A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
D. They wanted to make more money by having sales.
64. The expression “crashed out” means ________.
A. chatted with her friends B. slept soundly
C. broke down D. dined out
65. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Bargain. B. Hunting for a job.
C. Sale Fever. D. A Pleasant Fortnight.
【文章大意】这是一篇介绍人们疯狂购买打折商品的文章。
61. D 考查细节理解。由第二段... some of these things are slightly reduced. 可知,lightly 意为“轻微的,一点的”,与题中所说便宜5%相吻合,因此可知为冬天的衣服。
62. A 考查对与 Where had the famous English Queue gone? 的理解。
63.D 考查作者的态度。由文中可知,Graham’s 希望看到人们像在战场上一样地疯狂购买他们的东西,因为这样可以赚很多钱。
64. B 考查猜测词义。根据文中 Then I had dinner and went back to bed... 中的 back 可以印证她又返回睡觉去了,说明刚才在睡觉。

With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.
I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.
·Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.
·Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激励)to keep you going all day.
·Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非传统的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.
·Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.
57. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to .
A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs
B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education
C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard
D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇)
58. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because .
A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them
B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change
C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you
D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships
59. The author believes that being humorous means that you .
A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations
B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way
C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed
D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion
60. The target readers of this passage are probably .
A. educational experts
B. people who want to change jobs
C. college graduates who have just left school
D. high school students who are still at school
【文章大意】本篇给刚刚毕业找工作的大学生提供了一些重要的指导建议。
