典例剖析
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It's a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same.Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus (校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment and, of course, the students.It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away.But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area.In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out!
If campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you'd like to attend.It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit.
Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive.It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college counselors (顾问), and it won't cost you a penny!

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many young people believe shared bicycles have many advantages.They are not expensive to rent, they do not have to be protected from thieves, and there is no need to repair them.You just have to change them for another one.They are also environment friendly and lower the use of cars, which also helps to relieve traffic.In fact, it is considered an awesome(可怕的) combination of technology and tradition.
Since they appeared, shared bicycles have raised a lot of dust.There is no doubt about the benefits but the disadvantages cannot be ignored.Many problems related to shared bicycles have appeared.It is not only due to bad behavior from some users who always want to seize the bicycles, but also because of the mess that has been created since one can leave the bicycle anywhere, which is against public urban order management.There are so many poorly parked bikes that sometimes they end up blocking streets.
In Xi Luo yuan, Beijing, the “Civilized Use of Bicycles” campaign(运动)has been launched.In addition to having 40 officially permitted stops, there are also clear signals(信号) to lead users to these stops.A team of supervisors keep order in the area.This is the first area that is part of an official system to manage bicycles.The purpose of this campaign is to solve the mess that the popularity of shared bicycles is causing in Beijing, both with the participation of companies and the users.If the pilot plan works out well in Xi Luo yuan, it will be extended to all of the cities in China.
参考范文:
Major cities in China have witnessed the enormous popularity of bike-sharing due to its convenience and costs.Young people feel that shared bicycles bring lots of benefits in some aspects, including environmental protection and traffic.However, they mess the cities owing to bad behaviours from some users.Therefore, a campaign on the problem has been carried out in Beijing to encourage civilized use of bicycles.UNIT 4 NATURAL DISASTERS

[导语]地震是最常见的自然灾害之一,常造成巨大的损失。如何在地震中保护自己及家人呢?本文就此提出了几则忠告。
An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters.It may cause great damage.So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items,like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.Never place them near your bed,sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down.When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路)and fire breakouts during an earthquake.Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake,lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged.Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.Never use the elevator to go down.Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Use the staircases(楼梯)at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree,streetlights,electric poles or tall buildings.If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris(瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you.Use a whistle(哨子)if one is available.Never shout for help.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust.Do not light a match because you may burn yourself.Do not move about or kick up dust.
1.What is the purpose of the passage? D
A.To tell readers the damage caused by earthquakes.
B.To tell readers the rescue work after earthquakes.
C.To tell readers how to prevent earthquakes.
D.To tell readers what to do about earthquakes.
解析: 写作目的题。根据文章第一段的最后一句可知,本文讲了一些应对地震的简单的安全建议。故选D项。
2.What does the underlined word“Fragile”in Paragraph 2 probably mean? B
A.Easily found. B.Easily broken.
C.Expensive. D.Heavy.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“like those made of glass are easily broken”可知,画线词意思是“易碎的”。故选B项。
3.To reduce the injury from the earthquake, where should items made of glass be put? B
A.On cupboards.
B.On a lower surface.
C.In the bedroom.
D.Where children can't reach them.
解析: 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Fragile items...and should usually be placed on a lower surface,near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up.”可知,应把那些玻璃制品放置在接近地面的较低处,故选B项。
4.During the earthquake, people are advised to D .
A.go out of the building at once
B.drive to a safe place quickly
C.take shelter under a tree
D.turn off electricity and gas immediately
解析: 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句可知,当地震发生时,要设法确保立即关闭电源插头和天然气。故选D项。
