A
Beautiful, historic and easier to reach than they appear, Portugal’s Berlengas Islands and the coastal town of Peniche are worth a visit. However, the little city is also one of Europe’s best surfing sites. That’s why in the summer especially, the streets are filled with Portuguese and international visitors on the long, white beaches. And that has helped make Peniche famous.
Boat rides and hidden bays
Situated a half-hour boat ride from Peniche is the Berlengas archipelago: a collection of small islands visited only by scientists and a few tourists and local guides in the warmer months. Although they can hardly be found on many maps, I would argue that they are well worth adding to yours. The tickets for boat rides to the islands are only 20? per person and senior people can have a 50% discount (折扣) so you really can’t miss that!
A place of natural heritage (遗产)
With few buildings and only a tree in sight, one could be forgiven for thinking there is “nothing there”. Yet one would also be wrong. The Berlengas Islands are home to an impressive amount of biodiversity (生物多样性). Walking around them is a delight even for the traveler who struggles to name common garden flowers.
A friendly local culture
Everyone you meet here proves patient, welcoming and kind. Because Peniche is a small city popular with lots of international surfers in the summer, the local people seem used to meeting tourists and willing to offer the right direction and to have a friendly chat.
1. What makes the Berlengas Islands and Peniche attractive to visitors in summer
A. Costal beaches. B. Fine weather. C. Surfing places. D. Beautiful scenery.
2. How much should an elderly couple pay to take a boat
A. 20 ?. B. 10 ?. C. 40 ?. D. 60 ?.
3. Where is this text most probably taken from
A. A geographic textbook. B. A traveler’s diary.
C. A scientific journal. D. A tourist guide.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文简要介绍了葡萄牙的沿海小镇Peniche吸引游客以及当地旅游的特色。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“However, the little city is also one of Europe’s best surfing sites.(然而，这个小城市也是欧洲最好冲浪地点之一。)”以及最后一段第二句“Because Peniche is a small city popular with lots of international surfers in the summer, the local people seem used to meeting tourists and willing to offer the right direction and to have a friendly chat.(因为Peniche是一个小城市，在夏天有很多国际冲浪者，当地人似乎习惯了与游客见面，愿意提供正确的方向，并有一个友好的聊天。)”可知，贝伦加斯群岛(Berlengas Islands)和沿海小镇佩尼切(Peniche)吸引游客最主要的是作为冲浪胜地。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The tickets for boat rides to the islands are only 20? per person and senior people can have a 50% discount (折扣) so you really can’t miss that!(乘船到岛上的门票只有每人20欧元，老年人可以享受50%的折扣，所以你真的不能错过！)”可知，票价为每人20欧元，而老年人可享受5折优惠。一对老年夫妇则应付20欧元即可。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Beautiful, historic and easier to reach than they appear, Portugal’s Berlengas Islands and the coastal town of Peniche are worth a visit.(葡萄牙的贝伦加斯群岛(Berlengas Islands)和沿海小镇佩尼切(Peniche)美丽、历史悠久，而且比表面看起来更容易到达，值得一游。)”可知，本篇文章主要介绍了葡萄牙的沿海小镇Peniche吸引游客以及当地旅游的特色，主要目的是旅游宣传。由此可推知，文章最有可能出自旅游指南。故选D。

On a busy Saturday, I was at the mall with my mom. The mall was alive with the chatter of people and the sound of music. Everywhere I looked, there were people dressed in nice clothes, laughing and chatting with their friends.
My mom, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others’. As we walked past store windows, I couldn’t help but notice the difference. I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident.
Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mom towards less crowded areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of my mom. I just felt she deserved better.
As we walked around, we entered a store with beautiful clothes. The fabrics (面料) felt soft, and the designs were fashionable. My mom’s eyes lit up when she saw a lovely sweater. “This would look great on you,” she said with a smile.
I checked the price tag and was shocked. It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mom worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me.
Looking at her, I realized something. My mom might not have the beautiful clothes or the latest accessories (配饰), but she had a heart of gold. She always put me first, even if it meant giving up her own wants.
Suddenly, I felt a wave of warmth. I hugged her tightly. “Mom, I don’t need the sweater. I just need you,” I whispered. She smiled, “I know, dear. But it’s nice to have dreams sometimes, right ” We left the store, hand in hand, feeling wealthier than ever.

(另一方面，我妈妈穿着一件简单的衣服和一双旧鞋子。她的衣服比别人的破旧。当我们走过商店橱窗时，我不禁注意到这种不同。我看到年轻的女孩穿着鲜艳的裙子，男孩穿着整洁的衬衫。他们看起来既现代又自信。)”以及第三段“Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mom towards less crowded areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. (感觉有点不自在，我试着把妈妈拉到不那么拥挤的地方。我不想让任何人注意到我们或者更确切地说，注意到她。)”可知，作者当时觉得尴尬。故选C。

From the title “The Joys of College”, you probably think you’re about to read a piece of satire (讽刺作品) about how “awesome” college is. After all, college can be very demanding -a mountain load of assignments all due at the same time, 10-plus page papers, and difficult exams. I get it. But actually, the title isn’t satirical at all. Sure, college is really stressful and there are some aspects I don’t like. But for once, I’d like to focus on the positives of being a college student.
The first thing I truly enjoy about being a college student is that I get to take classes that actually interest me. It isn’t like high school where you’re forced to take the same core classes as everyone else because of the district curriculum. In college, learning doesn’t feel like a task to me anymore because I actually get to design my schedule to my interests.
Besides, there are so many different fields to study. We have many fields of departments (学院) that aren’t offered at other universities, such as Japanese. There are also many interesting classes that can be taken just for fun -classes about anime, the horror genre, and even witchery. There are so many opportunities to learn about topics unrelated to your major.
The community at the University is also very important to me. We are all suffering here but we are all suffering together. The college experience is so much more bearable due to this community. I know I can express myself to any fellow college student about the stress my assignments are causing and they will always understand.
The fun activities and clubs are also a plus. The campus carnivals, holiday markets, and concerts give us something to look forward to as we struggle our way through our classes. And the club activities - like the Campus Times - make college life all the more exciting.
However, my most favorite part of being a college student is that I personally like the idea of being able to enjoy life without worrying about too many expenses. My loan payments are a problem for the future me. And not having to go through the stress of job interviews just yet is also very relieving.
So although there are a lot of negatives of college, there are also a lot of positives. I know that when I graduate, I’m going to miss being a college student.
8. What is the first thing that the author really enjoyed about being a college student
A There is less homework. B. The exams are less difficult.
C. She is free to choose what to learn. D. There is no core classes to take.
9. What is special about the author’s college
A. She can design schedule all by herself.
B. All the classes can be taken just for fun.
C. It provides carnivals, holiday markets, and concerts
D. It has many courses that aren’t offered at other universities.
10. What makes the college life more exciting
A. The community. B. Many fields of departments.
C. The club activities. D. Unique opportunities.
11. What does the underlined word “relieving” in paragraph 6 refer to
A. Strange. B. Special. C. Worrying. D. Relaxing.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文从大学与高中的不同点介绍了作者步入大学生活的快乐。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The first thing I truly enjoy about being a college student is that I get to take classes that actually interest me.(作为一名大学生，我真正享受的第一件事是我可以上我真正感兴趣的课程。)”可知，作者在大学第一件真正喜欢的事情是可以上她感兴趣的课程。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We have many fields of departments (学院) that aren’t offered at other universities, such as Japanese.(我们有很多其他大学没有的学院领域，比如日语。)”可知，作者大学的特殊之处是有很多其他大学没有的学院。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“And the club activities - like the Campus Times - make college life all the more exciting.(俱乐部的活动——比如《校园时报》——使大学生活更加精彩。)”可知，俱乐部的活动使得大学生活更加精彩。故选C。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“And not having to go through the stress of job interviews just yet(而且现在还不必经历面试的压力)”可知，这也是一种解脱，relieving意为“放松的”，和relaxing（令人放松的）意思接近。故选D。
D
It’s not unusual for kids to change friends, change schools, or change the way they dress as they’re growing up. But what about changing into a giant (巨大的) red panda That’s the life of a 13-year-old girl named Mei Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney and Pixar’s new film, Turning Red.
Turning Red tells a coming-of-age story like no other. Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions, and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. Mel tries to deal with hanging out with her three best friends, the boy band they like and her protective mother, who isn’t ready to let go of her growing daughter.
“Turning Red is inspired by the difficulties of growing up and trying to find out how to honor your parents, but also stay true to yourself,” said director Domee Shi. “For Mei Lee in the movie, before becoming the red panda, she thinks she has it all figured out, like we all did before we woke up one day and realized all of a sudden, we’re covered in body hair, our feelings are all over the place, and we’re hungry all the time.
Turning Red describes the complexities (难题) of mother-daughter relationships well. In fact, the real-life experiences of the film’s crew (摄制组成员) inspired several scenes. To make her crew share more about their childhood, Shi created a video at the office with her team. She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories. It worked! “The crew started bringing in their old middle school yearbooks,” said producer Lindsey Collins. “They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.” It seems that however old you are, there is a little bit of Mei in all of us.
12. When will the girl turn into a giant red panda
A. When she was 13 years old. B. Anytime she has strong feelings.
C. When she stays with friends. D. When she can manage her school life.
13. What is the main topic of the film
A. Teenagers’ problems of growing up. B. Dealing with home life wisely.
C. Getting along with best friends. D. Ways to control emotions.
14. How did the director get inspiration about describing mother-daughter relationship
A. She interviewed some middle school students.
B. She analyzed some typical pictures of her parents.
C. She thought hard and figured out the idea by herself.
D. She asked the film’s crew to share their experiences.
15. What is Lindsey Collins’s attitude towards sharing more about childhood
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Turning Red这部关于成长、家庭和爱的电影
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions, and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. ”（梅是一个华裔加拿大女孩，每当她遇到强烈的情绪时，她就会变成一只巨大的小熊猫，并且必须找到一种方法来管理她在21世纪初加拿大多伦多的学校和家庭生活。）可知，当小女孩经历强烈的情绪波动时就会变成一只巨大的小熊猫。故选B。
【13题详解】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第四句“She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories.”（她鼓励每个人都回顾过去，拿出他们令人尴尬的青少年照片和记忆。）可知，Domee Shi鼓励每个人回忆过去然后分享他们尴尬的图片和记忆来获得这个方面的灵感。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Lindsey Collins.所说的“They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.”（“他们分享了自己在中学时的趣事。此外，我们这些为人父母的人也分享了我们养育孩子的糟糕时刻。这是有意义的。作为一个团队，我们只是试图真实地面对我们每天的失败和成功。”）可知，Lindsey Collins认为这个分享是有意义的，因此对于分享这个观点是支持的。故选D。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The best way to learn a foreign language is to live where that language is spoken so that you are completely immersed (沉浸) in the language. ____16____ There is no better way.
But most people do not have the opportunity to be completely immersed in a new language by living in a foreign country. ____17____ Before I tell you about a few of those other ways, I’d like to tell you something important: For most people, language acquisition does not come easy, it requires hard work and consistency. With that in mind, here are some other ways that you can learn a new language besides complete immersion.
Watch audio-based (基于音频的) programs
There are a number of audio-based language programs out there and these can be convenient for an on-the-go lifestyle. ____18____ You need to avoid the “foreigner” accent as much as possible.
____19____
If you know how to read in the foreign language, it can be very helpful to read as much as possible to enlarge your vocabulary. What’s more, if you read aloud, it will also be very helpful in improving your pronunciation and fluency.
Speak in the foreign language as often as you can
Video chat with native speakers of the foreign language you are studying as much as possible. Have face-to-face conversations. Your efforts will be appreciated, and often you will be able to help the other person work on English.
I recommend adding all of these learning components into our language-learning method: however, focus on speaking. Involve as many senses as possible in the learning process. ____20____
A. Keep reading.
B. Help each other.
C. It’s better for you to chat with some other English learners.
D. That means you speak and listen to it all day every day.
E. The good news is that there are other ways you can learn.
F. If you can hear it, say it, feel it and write it, then you will remember it.
G. Simply make sure that the foreign language you are listening to is from a native speaker.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了学习一门外语的四种方法，分别是：基于音频的节目、注重阅读材料、注重写作以及注重表达。
【16题详解】
该空位于第一段中间，前文“The best way to learn a foreign language is to live where that language is spoken so that you are completely immersed (沉浸) in the language.(学习一门外语的最好方法是住在说这种语言的地方，这样你就能完全沉浸在这种语言中)”提到最好的学习外语的方式是沉浸在天天说外语的环境中，D项意为“那意味着你整天都能听和说这门新的语言”是对前文的解释，符合语境，故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“But most people do not have the opportunity to be completely immersed in a new language by living in a foreign country.(但是大多数人在国外生活并没有机会完全沉浸在一门新的语言中)”以及后文所介绍的其他的方法可知，此处讲还有别的方法，E项为意为“好消息是还有一些其他的方法”，符合语境，故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“There are a number of audio-based language programs out there and these can be convenient for an on-the-go lifestyle.(市面上有很多基于音频的语言课程，这些课程对忙碌的生活方式很方便)”可知，本段主要介绍了通过听的方式来学习，而该空后一句“You need to avoid the “foreigner” accent as much as possible.(你需要尽可能避免“外国人”的口音)”提到要避免“外国口音”，说明此处应提及所听英语的质量，故G选项“只要确保你所听的外语是母语者说的”符合语境，故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“If you know how to read in the foreign language, it can be very helpful to read as much as possible to enlarge your vocabulary. What’s more, if you read aloud, it will also be very helpful in improving your pronunciation and fluency.(如果你知道如何阅读外语，尽可能多地阅读来扩大你的词汇量会很有帮助。更重要的是，如果你大声朗读，这对提高你的发音和流利度也很有帮助)”可知本段主要介绍了阅读方面的方法，A选项“保持阅读”符合语境。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“I recommend adding all of these learning components into our language-learning method: however, focus on speaking. Involve as many senses as possible in the learning process.(我建议把所有这些学习方法都加入到我们的语言学习方法中：但是，重点是说。在学习过程中尽可能多地运用感官)”可知，此处强调要运用多感官进行学习，与F项中hear，say，feel，write对应。F选项“如果你能听、能说、能摸、能写，那么你就会记住它”符合语境。故选F项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了健康的人际关系对我们的生活非常重要，孤独的影响可能和吸烟和其他坏习惯一样有害。一项对148项研究的回顾发现，拥有强大社会关系的人早死的可能性要低50%。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：健康的人际关系对我们的生活非常重要。此处位于of后，做介词宾语，应使用名词形式，importance“重要”是不可数名词。故填importance。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：孤独的影响可能和吸烟和其他坏习惯一样有害。此处被other修饰，且habit为可数名词，故使用复数形式。故填habits。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一项对148项研究回顾发现，拥有强大社会关系的人早死的可能性要低50%。此处为固定句型be likely to do sth，意为“很有可能做某事”。故填to die。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：一些研究甚至发现，与生活伴侣一起生活可以增加3年的预期寿命。此处为固定短语add...to...，意为“将……加到……中”。故填to。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个关心你的朋友提供的支持可以缓冲压力的影响。分析句子结构可知offer与support构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填offered。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在一项针对100多人的研究中，研究人员发现，当完成一项有压力的任务的人被提醒关心他们的朋友或家人时，他们恢复得更快。此处study为泛指，且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故前面需加不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在一项针对100多人的研究中，研究人员发现，当完成一项有压力的任务的人被提醒关心他们的朋友或家人时，他们恢复得更快。此处为定语修饰task，应用形容词stressful“充满压力的”。故填stressful。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：在一项针对100多人的研究中，研究人员发现，当完成一项有压力的任务的人被提醒关心他们的朋友或家人时，他们恢复得更快。主语与谓语构成被动关系，主语为they，谓语用复数，根据上文found可知时态为一般过去时的被动语态。故填were reminded。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意：然而，另一方面，那些人际关系不好的人会经历更大的压力和更高的血压。根据比较级的修饰词even和与此处并列的higher可知，此处填形容词比较级形式。故填more。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：此外，如果/当你与他人的关系更好，你可能会感到更富有。分析句意可知此处可理解为条件状语，表示“如果”应if引导；或时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”用when。故填if/when。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节，满分20分)
We live near a famous hospital in the city. Since our house is big, we rent some rooms to the patients.
One evening, a truly ugly old man came. Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” He told me he’d been searching for a room since noon, but failed because of his face.
For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.”
By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain.
At bedtime we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome.

【答案】Dear Lisa,
I’m so sorry to know that you’re feeling bad these days.
As teenagers suffering huge stress from study, it’s quite normal and understandable to have arguments with parents. So don’t worry. Everything will be OK. However, what we can’t ignore is how important our family members are to us. Our parents love us so much. Without their care and support, we would never be happy.
To help you out, I’ll share some suggestions. Firstly, why not calm down and talk about your problems with your parents peacefully If you think it embarrassing to talk to them face to face, writing a letter also works. Anyway, remember good communication is always the key to solving such problems.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Beautiful, historic and easier to reach than they appear, Portugal’s Berlengas Islands and the coastal town of Peniche are worth a visit. However, the little city is also one of Europe’s best surfing sites. That’s why in the summer especially, the streets are filled with Portuguese and international visitors on the long, white beaches. And that has helped make Peniche famous.
Boat rides and hidden bays
Situated a half-hour boat ride from Peniche is the Berlengas archipelago: a collection of small islands visited only by scientists and a few tourists and local guides in the warmer months. Although they can hardly be found on many maps, I would argue that they are well worth adding to yours. The tickets for boat rides to the islands are only 20? per person and senior people can have a 50% discount (折扣) so you really can’t miss that!
A place of natural heritage (遗产)
With few buildings and only a tree in sight, one could be forgiven for thinking there is “nothing there”. Yet one would also be wrong. The Berlengas Islands are home to an impressive amount of biodiversity (生物多样性). Walking around them is a delight even for the traveler who struggles to name common garden flowers.
A friendly local culture
Everyone you meet here proves patient, welcoming and kind. Because Peniche is a small city popular with lots of international surfers in the summer, the local people seem used to meeting tourists and willing to offer the right direction and to have a friendly chat.
1. What makes the Berlengas Islands and Peniche attractive to visitors in summer
A. Costal beaches. B. Fine weather. C. Surfing places. D. Beautiful scenery.
2. How much should an elderly couple pay to take a boat
A. 20 ?. B. 10 ?. C. 40 ?. D. 60 ?.
3. Where is this text most probably taken from
A. A geographic textbook. B. A traveler’s diary.
C. A scientific journal. D. A tourist guide.
B
On a busy Saturday, I was at the mall with my mom. The mall was alive with the chatter of people and the sound of music. Everywhere I looked, there were people dressed in nice clothes, laughing and chatting with their friends.
My mom, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others’. As we walked past store windows, I couldn’t help but notice the difference. I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident.
Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mom towards less crowded areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of my mom. I just felt she deserved better.
As we walked around, we entered a store with beautiful clothes. The fabrics (面料) felt soft, and the designs were fashionable. My mom’s eyes lit up when she saw a lovely sweater. “This would look great on you,” she said with a smile.
I checked the price tag and was shocked. It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mom worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me.
Looking at her, I realized something. My mom might not have the beautiful clothes or the latest accessories (配饰), but she had a heart of gold. She always put me first, even if it meant giving up her own wants.
Suddenly, I felt a wave of warmth. I hugged her tightly. “Mom, I don’t need the sweater. I just need you,” I whispered. She smiled, “I know, dear. But it’s nice to have dreams sometimes, right ” We left the store, hand in hand, feeling wealthier than ever.
4. How did the author feel when comparing her mom’s clothes to others’ at the shopping center
A. Proud. B. Confident. C. Embarrassed. D. Excited.
5. What can be inferred about the mother from the story
A. She dislikes beautiful things. B. She has saved much money.
C. She bought many clothes for the writer. D. She struggles to support the family.
6. Which of the following best describes the author’s mom
A. Hardworking and busy. B. Selfless and caring.
C Responsible and serious. D. Rich and generous.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the story
A. A Day at the Shopping Center B. The Price of Fashion
C. My Mom’s Clothes D. The Most Valuable Sweater
C
From the title “The Joys of College”, you probably think you’re about to read a piece of satire (讽刺作品) about how “awesome” college is. After all, college can be very demanding -a mountain load of assignments all due at the same time, 10-plus page papers, and difficult exams. I get it. But actually, the title isn’t satirical at all. Sure, college is really stressful and there are some aspects I don’t like. But for once, I’d like to focus on the positives of being a college student.
The first thing I truly enjoy about being a college student is that I get to take classes that actually interest me. It isn’t like high school where you’re forced to take the same core classes as everyone else because of the district curriculum. In college, learning doesn’t feel like a task to me anymore because I actually get to design my schedule to my interests.
Besides, there are so many different fields to study. We have many fields of departments (学院) that aren’t offered at other universities, such as Japanese. There are also many interesting classes that can be taken just for fun -classes about anime, the horror genre, and even witchery. There are so many opportunities to learn about topics unrelated to your major.
The community at the University is also very important to me. We are all suffering here but we are all suffering together. The college experience is so much more bearable due to this community. I know I can express myself to any fellow college student about the stress my assignments are causing and they will always understand.
The fun activities and clubs are also a plus. The campus carnivals, holiday markets, and concerts give us something to look forward to as we struggle our way through our classes. And the club activities - like the Campus Times - make college life all the more exciting.
However, my most favorite part of being a college student is that I personally like the idea of being able to enjoy life without worrying about too many expenses. My loan payments are a problem for the future me. And not having to go through the stress of job interviews just yet is also very relieving.
So although there are a lot of negatives of college, there are also a lot of positives. I know that when I graduate, I’m going to miss being a college student.
8. What is the first thing that the author really enjoyed about being a college student
A. There is less homework. B. The exams are less difficult.
C. She is free to choose what to learn. D. There is no core classes to take.
9. What is special about the author’s college
A. She can design schedule all by herself.
B. All the classes can be taken just for fun.
C. It provides carnivals, holiday markets, and concerts
D. It has many courses that aren’t offered at other universities.
10. What makes the college life more exciting
A. The community. B. Many fields of departments.
C. The club activities. D. Unique opportunities.
11. What does the underlined word “relieving” in paragraph 6 refer to

D
It’s not unusual for kids to change friends, change schools, or change the way they dress as they’re growing up. But what about changing into a giant (巨大的) red panda That’s the life of a 13-year-old girl named Mei Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney and Pixar’s new film, Turning Red.
Turning Red tells a coming-of-age story like no other. Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. Mel tries to deal with hanging out with her three best friends, the boy band they like and her protective mother, who isn’t ready to let go of her growing daughter.
“Turning Red is inspired by the difficulties of growing up and trying to find out how to honor your parents, but also stay true to yourself,” said director Domee Shi. “For Mei Lee in the movie, before becoming the red panda, she thinks she has it all figured out, like we all did before we woke up one day and realized all of a sudden, we’re covered in body hair, our feelings are all over the place, and we’re hungry all the time.
Turning Red describes the complexities (难题) of mother-daughter relationships well. In fact, the real-life experiences of the film’s crew (摄制组成员) inspired several scenes. To make her crew share more about their childhood, Shi created a video at the office with her team. She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories. It worked! “The crew started bringing in their old middle school yearbooks,” said producer Lindsey Collins. “They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.” It seems that however old you are, there is a little bit of Mei in all of us.

We live near a famous hospital in the city. Since our house is big, we rent some rooms to the patients.
One evening, a truly ugly old man came. Extremely politely, he said, “Good evening. I’m wondering if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore (海岸), and there’s no bus till the morning.” He told me he’d been searching for a room since noon, but failed because of his face.
For a moment, I hesitated (犹豫), not only because there was no room left. But his following words convinced (说服了) me: “I could sleep on the floor. I’ll leave early in the morning.”
By chatting with him, I knew he fished for a living to support a big family. But what touched me most was that instead of complaining, he was grateful that his disease didn’t bring him terrible pain.
At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. The next morning, he got up early and asked if he could come again. I told him he would be welcome.
On his next trip, he arrived early in the morning.
