一、阅读理解
Your college essay should convince admission officers, in less than ten minutes, that you would be a good match for their colleges. At the most basic level, the essay demonstrates your communication and writing skills. In addition, the essay allows admission officers to discover more about you as a person — a side of you not reflected in statistics like grades and Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores.
How the essay is evaluated
Did you address the question asked
Is your writing mechanically sound Is your writing style comfortable Can you construct a good sentence Can you put together a cogent paragraph
Can you discuss a theme Is your argument logical Did you begin and end the essay with some finesse
Do you write with style, nuance and creativity — and in a distinctive voice
Choosing a topic
While there are no inherently bad essay topics, be careful about the following subjects:
Winning or losing the big game
Death of a pet
Friendship problems
Anything that suggests that you don't see the future beyond high school.
Simple solutions to world problems.
Remember to answer the question!
Polishing the essay
Craft an interesting opening sentence to hook the reader. If it's dull, the reader will be bored.
Be revealing...disclose things about yourself without being confessional.
Beware of trying to impress admission officers with what you think they want to hear.
Don't be afraid to use your imagination or to be unconventional.
Have a teacher, parent or friend read your second draft. Ask them: Is it interesting Does it sound like me Was it fun to read
Navigational hazards
The little details aren't the most important part of the essay, but you don't want the admission committee to think you're a careless writer.
Always proofread before producing the final draft. If you are tired of the essay, let someone else proof it. Check for spelling errors; spellcheck won't catch everything!
Don't plagiarize: admission officers have read widely and have sophisticated ways of checking content.
Don't get overwhelmed about composing your essay — write what you feel, do it well...and you'll make a great impression!
1．According to the passage, students are expected to .
A．include all details of academic reports

3．Where can you most probably read this passage

Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
4．What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes
A．The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B．The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C．The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
D.The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
5．What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Man-made. B．Reduced.
C．Newly-built. D．Controlled.
6．How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach
A．It's been said as small as magnitude 3.
B．It has been said as high as magnitude 7.
C．It's being studied without a final conclusion.
D．It has risen by an average of magnitude 5. 6.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
B．7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
C．Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D．More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
Elephants are truly incredible animals. August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants. What do you know about elephants Here are some facts you may not know.
We know that elephants are large. But do you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree (金合欢树) Because it is home to ants and an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk. Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings.
Female elephants live in groups of about 15 elephants. The oldest in the group is the leader. She not only decides when and where they move but also determines when they rest all the year. Male elephants leave the female groups between the age of 12 and 15. But they aren’t loners. They live in all-male groups.
Asian elephants don’t run. Running requires lifting all four feet at once. But elephants filmed in Thailand always keep at least two on the ground at all times.
Elephants have passed the mirror test. They recognize themselves in a mirror. According to tests, great apes, and dolphins also have this ability.
Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves. “Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their heads to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off, ” said Tony Barthel, working at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. How do elephants protect their young Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will guard the little ones as they sleep.

A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.
12．How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman
A．They caused her to start KKGS.
B．They pushed her to go to college.
C．They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D．They made her continue to give out sandwiches.
13．How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation
A．Some refused it politely. B．They strongly supported it.
C．Some felt quite surprised by it. D．They considered it unreasonable.
14．In what way is KKGS special
A．It has earned a lot of money from students. B．It employs college students as volunteers.
C．It provides socks for those in need. D．It was set up by the government.
15．What advice does the author offer to people
A．Take action in small ways. B．Start your own organization.
C．Make donations from an early age. D．Find creative ways to help people.
二、七选五
16．Why do you run Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being (健康). Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:

④______ And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into tip-top shape for your run tomorrow.
Pay attention to pain.
When pain changes the way you run, stop running. ⑤______ And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.

Her heart was touched gently by the simple words. “Where did you get it ” she asked. Jean told her the address of the store. And she packed the necklace back again and said, “Let’s go!”
The two sisters went back to the store to return the necklace. Jean’s sister put the package on the counter and asked, “Did this come from your shop ” Pete raised his eyes to hers and answered softly, “Yes, it did.” Jean’s sister said it cost more than Jean afforded so they couldn’t keep it.

一、阅读理解
Your college essay should convince admission officers, in less than ten minutes, that you would be a good match for their colleges. At the most basic level, the essay demonstrates your communication and writing skills. In addition, the essay allows admission officers to discover more about you as a person — a side of you not reflected in statistics like grades and Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores.
How the essay is evaluated
Did you address the question asked
Is your writing mechanically sound Is your writing style comfortable Can you construct a good sentence Can you put together a cogent paragraph
Can you discuss a theme Is your argument logical Did you begin and end the essay with some finesse
Do you write with style, nuance and creativity — and in a distinctive voice
Choosing a topic
While there are no inherently bad essay topics, be careful about the following subjects:
Winning or losing the big game
Death of a pet
Friendship problems
Anything that suggests that you don't see the future beyond high school.
Simple solutions to world problems.
Remember to answer the question!
Polishing the essay
Craft an interesting opening sentence to hook the reader. If it's dull, the reader will be bored.
Be revealing...disclose things about yourself without being confessional.
Beware of trying to impress admission officers with what you think they want to hear.
Don't be afraid to use your imagination or to be unconventional.
Have a teacher, parent or friend read your second draft. Ask them: Is it interesting Does it sound like me Was it fun to read
Navigational hazards
The little details aren't the most important part of the essay, but you don't want the admission committee to think you're a careless writer.
Always proofread before producing the final draft. If you are tired of the essay, let someone else proof it. Check for spelling errors; spellcheck won't catch everything!
Don't plagiarize: admission officers have read widely and have sophisticated ways of checking content.
Don't get overwhelmed about composing your essay — write what you feel, do it well...and you'll make a great impression!
1．According to the passage, students are expected to .
A．include all details of academic reports
B．offer solutions to complex world issues

D．To be careful enough with what you really feel.
3．Where can you most probably read this passage
A．Academic journal. B．Newspaper column.
C．Teen magazine. D．University website.
Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
4．What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes
A．The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B．The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C．The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
D.The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
5．What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Man-made. B．Reduced.
C．Newly-built. D．Controlled.
6．How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach
A．It's been said as small as magnitude 3.
B．It has been said as high as magnitude 7.
C．It's being studied without a final conclusion.
D．It has risen by an average of magnitude 5. 6.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
B．7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
C．Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D．More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
Elephants are truly incredible animals. August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants. What do you know about elephants Here are some facts you may not know.
We know that elephants are large. But do you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree (金合欢树) Because it is home to ants and an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk. Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings.
Female elephants live in groups of about 15 elephants. The oldest in the group is the leader. She not only decides when and where they move but also determines when they rest all the year. Male elephants leave the female groups between the age of 12 and 15. But they aren’t loners. They live in all-male groups.
Asian elephants don’t run. Running requires lifting all four feet at once. But elephants filmed in Thailand always keep at least two on the ground at all times.
Elephants have passed the mirror test. They recognize themselves in a mirror. According to tests, great apes, and dolphins also have this ability.
Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves. “Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their heads to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off, ” said Tony Barthel, working at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. How do elephants protect their young Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will guard the little ones as they sleep.

A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.
12．How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman
A．They caused her to start KKGS.
B．They pushed her to go to college.
C．They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D．They made her continue to give out sandwiches.
13．How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation
A．Some refused it politely. B．They strongly supported it.
C．Some felt quite surprised by it. D．They considered it unreasonable.
14．In what way is KKGS special
A．It has earned a lot of money from students. B．It employs college students as volunteers.
C．It provides socks for those in need. D．It was set up by the government.
15．What advice does the author offer to people
A．Take action in small ways. B．Start your own organization.
C．Make donations from an early age. D．Find creative ways to help people.

34．答案：When Jean got home, she gave the gift to her sister. Jean’s sister was surprised at the gift. The blue necklace was so beautiful, and it might cost a lot. But she knew that Jean had never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for it She carefully held the necklace and looked closely at the price tag. It read “costs: love”. Her heart was touched gently by the simple words. “Where did you get it ” she asked. Jean told her the address of the store. And she packed the necklace back again and said, “Let’s go!”
The two sisters went back to the store to return the necklace. Jean’s sister put the package on the counter and asked, “Did this come from your shop ” Pete raised his eyes to hers and answered softly, “Yes, it did.” Jean’s sister said it cost more than Jean afforded so they couldn’t keep it. Pete insisted that the necklace be kept by the sisters and said, “She paid the highest price anyone can ever pay. She gave all she had.
解析：这是一篇记叙文。故事以人物为线索展开。皮特开着一家由祖父传下来的店铺。有一天一个小女孩来店里，看上了一条蓝色项链，这是她给姐姐挑选的礼物。原来，妈妈去世后一直是姐姐照顾她，这将是妈妈去世后的第一个圣诞节。虽然小女孩拿出了银行的所有存款，这远不够买下这条项链。善良的皮特悄悄换掉了价格标签，把项链卖给了这位叫吉恩的小女孩。
高分包型-:But she knew that Jean had never had more than a few pennies.翻译:但她知道，琼从来没有超过几个便士。本句运用了that引导的宾语从句。
高分句型二:Pete insisted that the necklace be kept by the sisters and said, "She paid the highest price anyone can ever pay.翻译:皮特坚持要这对姐妹保留这条项链，并说:"她付出了任何人都能付出的最高代价。
本句运用了that引导的宾语从句，insist后跟that引导的宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气:(should+)动词原形，以及price后跟省略了that的限制性定语从句anyone can ever pay.
