When you are choosing a college, a lot of factors will probably play into your decision: the school’s reputation, the classes offered and the professor in your major, to name a few. However, given the ever-increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all their students. Here are some of the fun “extras” offered by the school.
Michigan Technological University
Taking advantage of the cold winter weather, Michigan Technological University sets itself apart with its on-campus ski resort, Mont Ripley, which is accessible and free for all students. Instead of hitting the campus gym, you'll be able to get your exercise outside on the slopes. When the pressure of school become too much, just head out for a day of free skiing and you'll be left feeling fully refreshed.
University of Missouri
At the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus recreational centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach" complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as an inexpensive full-service spa. Even if you don't enjoy working out, Missouri's recreational center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
New York University
If you're a fan of museum, NYU is the perfect university for you. Not only will you be located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will provide you with access to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting museums anytime you want — which means you'll never be bored on the weekends.High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining-hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University has a great option: a private steakhouse for students. Besides the cheap steaks, the campus also offers ice cream from a campus ice-cream truck, a movie theater and a shopping center.

Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology(航空心理学)for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared (害怕的) on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stay for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make new friends, so try to say hello to kids you know and the new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing old friends can make the first day an exciting one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of shoes. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack(打包) them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
8. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. discuss B. experience C. welcome D. start
9. How do you probably feel if you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school
A. Nervous. B. Lucky. C. Happy. D. Upset.
10 What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. What to know about a new school.
B. How to prepare for a new school.
C. What to do on your first day of school.
D. How to make friends on your first day of school.
11. According to the passage, you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A. introducing yourself
B. learning about the school rules
C. making new friends
D. going over your new lessons
D
Freshman year of high school is a big transition (过渡) for any student.
Luckily, you’re not the only person going through this, and plenty of others have made the transition before you too.
One of the ways in which high school is different from middle school or junior high the most is the higher expectations. You’ll find that you’re expected to keep closer track of your own schedule and responsibilities with fewer people checking up on you. At the same time, your classes are likely to become more challenging, and you might be participating in new school activities as well.
Some students find it hard to keep up with everything at first, which is totally normal. One way to prepare in advance: for these higher expectations is to make sure that you have organized schedules in place before you start high school.
Another important skill for meeting these higher expectations is building a strong support network. No matter how strong a student you are, at some point you will need some help. Keeping healthy relationships with your friends and teachers is a great way to make sure that you have people who are willing to help when you need them.
Try to get to, know at least some of your teachers beyond your classroom communication. Be an active learner during class and stay after class to ask questions. Take advantage of email or class messaging systems. The better your teachers know you, the better prepared they’ll be to help when you need them.
It’s important for you to keep in mind as you start high school that no one is perfect. Transitions are hard for everyone, and starting high school is a big transition. These challenges provide a great chance to reinvent yourself.
12. In the author’s view, the biggest difference between high school and middle school is____.
A. the higher expectations B. the higher pressure
C. high academic achievement D. different relationships
13. Which of the following suggestions is NOT mentioned in the text
A. Careful schedules. B. Healthy relationships.
C. Using network information. D. Reinventing yourself
14. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Meet Your Teachers* High Expectations
B. How to Become an Active Learner in High School
C. What to Prepare to Keep up with Everything in High School
D. How to Get through the Transition of Freshman Year of High School
15. Who is the article intended for
A. Parents of high school students. B. Teachers in high school.
C. Students in Senior One. D. Students in junior school.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared (害怕的) on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stay for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make new friends, so try to say hello to kids you know and the new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing old friends can make the first day an exciting one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of shoes. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack(打包) them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
8 The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. discuss B. experience C. welcome D. start
9. How do you probably feel if you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school
A. Nervous. B. Lucky. C. Happy. D. Upset.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. What to know about a new school.
B. How to prepare for a new school.
C. What to do on your first day of school.
D. How to make friends on your first day of school.
11. According to the passage, you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A. introducing yourself
B. learning about the school rules
C. making new friends
D. going over your new lessons
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在新学期的第一天我们可能遇见的事情，以及我们可以为新学期做的准备。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year.”（通过自我介绍和谈论你那一年要做的所有事情）以及常识可知，大多数老师一般会用这样的方式来开始新的学年，推测划线短语表示“开始”，与start同义。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Seeing old friends can make the first day an exciting one.”（见到老朋友可以让第一天变得激动人心。）可知，第一天碰巧见到老朋友，你可能会很快乐。故选C项。

Freshman year of high school is a big transition (过渡) for any student.
Luckily, you’re not the only person going through this, and plenty of others have made the transition before you too.
One of the ways in which high school is different from middle school or junior high the most is the higher expectations. You’ll find that you’re expected to keep closer track of your own schedule and responsibilities with fewer people checking up on you. At the same time, your classes are likely to become more challenging, and you might be participating in new school activities as well.
Some students find it hard to keep up with everything at first, which is totally normal. One way to prepare in advance: for these higher expectations is to make sure that you have organized schedules in place before you start high school.
Another important skill for meeting these higher expectations is building a strong support network. No matter how strong a student you are, at some point you will need some help. Keeping healthy relationships with your friends and teachers is a great way to make sure that you have people who are willing to help when you need them.
Try to get to, know at least some of your teachers beyond your classroom communication. Be an active learner during class and stay after class to ask questions. Take advantage of email or class messaging systems. The better your teachers know you, the better prepared they’ll be to help when you need them.
It’s important for you to keep in mind as you start high school that no one is perfect. Transitions are hard for everyone, and starting high school is a big transition. These challenges provide a great chance to reinvent yourself.
12. In the author’s view, the biggest difference between high school and middle school is____.
A. the higher expectations B. the higher pressure
C. high academic achievement D. different relationships
13. Which of the following suggestions is NOT mentioned in the text

第二节(共5小节;每小题3分，满分15分)
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。
How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesn’t Die
Getting great ideas It’s Easy. Following up on them is hard! ____16____.
Ask “Why doesn’t this work”.
Although he might have had the idea for it, Steve Jobs didn’t just have the iPhone’s unique touch screen in a single night. Instead, he thought about the present situation of smart phones and continually asked a single question: “Why don’t they work ” ____17____.
___18___.
A good routine often helps you put your ideas into action. Toni Morrison, an outstanding writer, has a more special routine centered on daylight. She rises at around 5:00 each morning to watch the dawn. For her, it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day. ____19____. Whatever you choose as your morning routine, consider it as the reliable framework that gives you the best idea.
Don’t fly alone.
When ideas meet in a shared physical or mental space, creative ideas are bound to happen—which is great. Working in a shared physical space just might help you find your ideal creative partners. ____20____. Besides, they may provide detailed focus that might not be your strong suit. Of course, partners needn’t pursue everything together. A creative conversation is more useful, which can set up a series of goals toward which the individual team members are free to work on their own.
A. Make full use of your spare time
B. Never ignore the power of routine
C. They can strengthen your confidence and give some valuable suggestions
D. This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution
E. He makes a great contribution to “the look and feel of the product”
F. Here are some tips to make sure your great idea becomes a reality
G. She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就如何让自己的想法变成现实提供了可行的方法。
【16题详解】
根据下文给出的三种方法可知，此处应该是一个过渡句，起承上启下的作用。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据该空前面“Why don’t they work ”可推出“This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution”就是这个小问题帮他把想法变成了实际的解决方案，这样搭配符合上下文逻辑。故选D项。
【18题详解】
分析文章可知，此处是选起总结性作用的小标题。通过分析下面自然段的大意可知，该段主要讲好的日常生活模式也会有助于把想法变成现实。故选B项。
【19题详解】
联系前文“For her, it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day”对于她来说在天亮以前起床观察一整天的变化是很重要的，接下句“She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write”她把这个时刻看作是启发写作的特殊时刻，此句中的special moment就是指天亮以前，这样上下句切合紧密且符合逻辑。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据此空的上下文可知，此处讲关于找搭档的话题。找到理想的且有创造力的搭档会让你更加自信而且也可以给你有价值的建议，这样前后句符合逻辑。Partners是复数形式，后文用they来代指，语法上也符合。故选C项。
【点睛】选择小标题这类题，我们可以用排除法来做。因为标题一般较短，所以我们可以只看句子结构较短的选项，这样就可以缩小选择范围。例如第3题，当分析出是选择标题时，我们可以只看AB两个选项，因为它们较短。然后看AB选项中，哪个能总结下面的一个自然段就可以了。
