Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
  (2024·山东六校高二下学期联考)These days, we are all dealing with huge amounts of information, and we are all trying to store our notes and other thoughts. The following are some note-taking apps for you.
  Notion
  If there’s one way to describe Notion, it would be ambitious. You can start with several different types of formats — a table, a board, a timeline, a calendar, a list, a created template, or just an empty page. You can also share your data with a number of apps.
  Cost: Free version available. Plus version costs $10 a month or $96 a year.
  Evernote
  Evernote started out in 2008 as an innovative and well-regarded note-taking app. Over the years, however, its reputation has suffered as it worked through privacy missteps, increased fees, and a complicated interface. And it has limited its free version to 50 notes, making it essentially unusable for most users except as a trial version.
  Cost: Limited free version available. Personal plan costs $14.99 a month or $129.99 a year.
  UpNote
  UpNote is a good-looking, relatively simple to master app that looks to be an attractive alternative to Evernote. In fact, if you do plan to use UpNote extensively, you will have to move off the free plan, which only allows up to 50 notes. After that, the Premium plan offers unlimited notes and the ability to add attachments (附件) and tables.
  Cost: Free version available, limited to 50 notes. Pro version costs 99 cents a month or $29.99 for a lifetime subscription.
  OneNote
  In OneNote, each entry is a page, and each page can contain a variety of different media, including text, audio, images, video, tables, and drawings, among others. Pages are organised into sections and sections into notebooks.
1.What is special about Notion?
A.It offers a variety of formats.
B.It limits the number of notes.
C.You can add attachments and tables.
D.You can organise pages into sections.
2.How much should you pay to subscribe to Pro version of UpNote for one year?
A.$11.88. B.$29.99.
C.$120. D.$129.99.
3.Which of the following has witnessed a decrease in popularity?
A.Notion. B.Evernote.
C.UpNote. D.OneNote.

  (2024·太原高二下学期质检)Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, foods, art, music, and politics first-hand.
  “I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps more important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family, not from the tourist’s point of view,” says Andrew, who studied in Poitiers, France.
  Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000! Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
  Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition (过渡) to college and adulthood.Matthew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that really set him apart from his peers.“After having gone abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be a breeze — moving 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away.”
  And speaking of colleges, improving your language skills might help you get into choice colleges and even land future jobs.Colleges and employers know that studying abroad provides leadership skills in a world that is increasingly globally interconnected.
  Most of all, it’s fun! You’re not likely to suffer from general boredom while you’re studying in a different learning environment.
4.What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?
A.The foreign food.
B.The foreign cultures.
C.The foreign customs.
D.The foreign language.
5.The example of Christina shows that studying abroad can     .
A.change our habits
B.offer us opportunities
C.increase our knowledge
D.give us self-confidence
6.What made Matthew different from his peers?
A.His social skills.
B.His fluent English.
C.His special character.
D.His global perspective.
7.The underlined words “a breeze” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to “    ”.
A.something very important
B.something very interesting
C.something very easy
D.something very hard
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
  (2024·嘉兴高二上学期期末考试)Lists that rate colleges and universities are very popular among parents and students in the United States. But are published lists the best way to choose the right school?
  The best known ranking is probably by the magazine US News & World Report.  8  US News & World Report published its first “America’s Best Colleges” report in 1983. Since then, some educators have questioned the published rankings and how useful they are.
  A number of magazines publish lists of college rankings once every year. High school students use the lists as reference guides when considering where to continue their education.  9  Across the country, more than 4,000 colleges and universities offer undergraduate degree programs.
  Forbes published its college ratings recently. It listed 650 schools. Like other lists, Forbes considers things like student satisfaction, how successful college graduates are and how much money they make. The magazine adds another important piece of information: How much debt students will owe after they graduate.
   10  All of them said students and parents should look at more than just rankings because they do not tell the whole story about a school.
  Ray Anderson of Virginia is a former high school principal. He now works with a service called AGM-College Advisors.  11  Anderson says what is most important to him is knowing what the student wants, likes and is capable of doing.
  Jeffrey Stahl agrees that rankings have limited value. In his job as a counselor at Yorktown High School in Virginia, he talks with students about colleges.  12  Then, they should widen their search and see the colleges for themselves.
A.We spoke with many education experts.
B.Choosing a college is of great importance.
C.There are plenty of schools to choose from.
D.Some students place too much attention on the rankings.
E.It provides guidance on higher education to students and their families.
F.He suggests that families use the ranking information as a starting point.
G.On top of the magazine’s list this year are schools known around the world.
8.       9.      10.    
11.    12.   
Ⅲ.完形填空

  I think it was a  26  one-year experience! I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible (极好的) people and improved my language.This trip  27  me to learn foreign languages.That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.

语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了四种用来记笔记、记录灵感和想法的手机app。
1.A 细节理解题。根据Notion的介绍可知,这一app最大的特点是提供了各种不同类型的版式供你选择,包括表格、告示牌、时间轴、日历、列表、创建的模板或者只是一个空白页面。
2.A 数字计算题。根据UpNote的介绍可知,这一app专业版的订阅价格是每个月99美分。因此订阅一年的费用是12×0.99=11.88(美元)。
3.B 细节理解题。根据Evernote的介绍可知,这一app开始口碑很好,后来由于用户隐私方面的失误、费用的增加和复杂的界面,它的声誉受到了损害,用户人群也在减少。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。如今,越来越多的学生选择出国留学。文章通过一些实例告诉我们出国留学带来的好处。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第二段Andrew的话可知,他在国外掌握了流利的外语,但是他更看重的是所了解的外国文化。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第三段首句及末句可知,Christina出国留学最大的收获是获得了自信。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的a real interest in international affairs that really set him apart from his peers 可知,使Matthew区别于他的同龄人的是他对国际事务的真正兴趣。也就是说,Matthew具有国际视野。
7.C 词义猜测题。根据第四段中Matthew的话可知,他高中在数千英里之外的国外生活过之后,去离家560英里的大学已经是小菜一碟了。由此可推测,a breeze表示“轻而易举的事”。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。大学排行榜如今非常流行,我们应该怎么看待它们呢?
8.G 上句提到了US News & World Report这一杂志以及其大学排行榜,故G项符合语境。
9.C 下句提到美国有4,000多所高校,这正是对C项意义的延伸和补充。
10.A 下句中的All of them暗示上句提到的某些人,故A项符合语境,them指代A项中的many education experts。
11.E 上句提到了AGM-College Advisors这一服务项目,E项则是对这一项目的进一步解释和说明。
12.F 上文引出Jeffrey Stahl这一教育界人士,这里应该进一步介绍其观点,故F项符合语境。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了八年前作者到美国留学的经历。
13.B 根据上下文可知,作者八年前到美国留学,但作者依然记得去学校的第一天,那天就好像是昨天一样。
14.D 根据空后as if there had been many butterflies in my stomach可知,此处表示作者很紧张。butterflies in one’s stomach是固定用法,表示“内心紧张不安”。
15.C 根据上下文可知,作者上学第一天很紧张。由于语言不通,她害怕自己不能清楚地表达自己。
16.D 参见上题解析。
17.D 根据上文due to the language barrier可知,由于语言障碍,作者害怕自己表达不清,所以尽量避免与他人交流。
18.B 根据上下文可知,作者几乎成功地避免了与他人交流,但是最后不得不在全班同学面前作自我介绍。
19.A 根据下文I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another可知,当作者刚说出“international”这个词时,就被三十个人围住,他们一个接一个地问作者问题。
20.A 根据空后to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun可知,作者与别人的交流变多了,这是上文作者刚说出“international”一词后,就被同学围起来问问题一事的结果。
21.B 根据上下文可知,作者刚到美国时,由于语言障碍,肯定会经历一些文化冲击。
22.C 根据空后the students looking at me with doubt可知,作者注意到同学们疑惑地看着她。
23.C 根据空后to my locker and whispered可知,作者的同学走近她的储物柜,然后问她问题。
24.A 根据上文可知,作者的同学认为作者是公主,来到美国是为了不让别人认出自己。
25.A 根据上文At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a crown and gracefully waving at the crowd.可知,作者不是公主,这是同学们想象出来的,所以说他们的想象力很丰富。
26.B 根据下文I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible (极好的) people and improved my language.可知,作者认为这一年是非常珍贵的。
27.D 根据上下文可知,这次旅行激励作者去学习外语。

“WELCOME, XIE LEI!”
BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES
Six months ago, 19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to① her family and friends and boarded a plane for② London.[1]It was the first time that she had left China.“I was very excited but also quite nervous.I didn’t know what to expect,” Xie Lei recalled③.
Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification④ at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme.[2]“I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about global business⑤ and improve my English.[3]My ambition⑥ is to set up a business in China after graduation,” she explained.
  [1]It is/was the first time that ...这是第一次……
  [2]because引导原因状语从句;其中and连接两个并列的动词不定式短语。
[3]to set up a business ...为动词不定式短语作表语。
At first⑦, Xie Lei had to adapt to⑧ life in a different country.“You have to get used to⑨ a whole new life,” she said.“[4]I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the English names for.[5]When I got lost⑩, I had to ask passers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words I’m not familiar with .I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!”
  [4]and连接两个并列的“疑问词+动词不定式”结构,在句中作learn的宾语;其中I didn’t ...names for为省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词things。
[5]but连接两个表示转折关系的并列句,其中When I got lost为时间状语从句;I’m not familiar with为省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词words。
[6]Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host family, who can help with her adaptation to the new culture.“[7]When I miss home, I feel comforted to have a second family,” Xie Lei said.“[8]When there’s something I don’t know or understand, I can ask them.They are also keen to learn about China.Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future.We take turns to cook each evening.They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs![9]Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too.”
  [6]Although引导让步状语从句;who can...new culture为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词family。
[7]When I miss home为时间状语从句。
[8]When引导时间状语从句;其中I don’t ...understand为省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰先行词something。
[9]so连接表示因果关系的并列句;she always feels hungry为省略了that的宾语从句;when she smells it为时间状语从句。
  Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements.[10]The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas,but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! [11]Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people.Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own.
  [10]but连接表示转折关系的并列句;其中The first time ...essay为时间状语从句;what ...had said为宾语从句;if she ...ideas为条件状语从句;what she thought也是宾语从句。
[11]because引导原因状语从句;she knew ...other people为省略了that的宾语从句。
  [12]Xie Lei also found many courses included students’ participation in class as part of the final result.Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, as well as give presentations .[13]At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence ,” she said.“I’ll use these skills back home for presentations.They’ll help me build a strong business in the future.”
  [12]many courses ...final result为省略了that的宾语从句。
[13]but连接表示转折关系的并列句;其中what she should say为同位语从句;what surprised her为主语从句;that she ...weeks为表语从句。
  Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK.What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her.“[14] Engaging in British culture has helped,” she said.“As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved in social activities.British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture with them.[15]While I’m learning about business, I’m also acting as a cultural messenger [16]building a bridge between us.”
  [14]Engaging in British culture为动词-ing短语作主语,视为单数。
[15]While引导时间状语从句。
[16]building a bridge between us为动词-ing短语作后置定语。
  We will follow Xie Lei’s progress in later editions, but for now, we wish her all the best .

“欢迎你,谢蕾!”
商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁
半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动,也很紧张,不知道会发生什么。”谢蕾回忆道。
谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科,来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目,是因为我想了解全球商务,并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。
起初,谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全新的生活。”她说,“我得学会使用公共交通,学会要我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时,我得向路人求助,但是这里的人讲话语速很快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!”
虽然一些留学生住在学校里,但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭,这有助于她适应异国文化。“有第二个家,想家时我会得到一些安慰。”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以咨询他们。他们对中国也很感兴趣,我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭,他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋!劳拉说每次闻到香味,她就感到饥肠辘辘,于是我也教她做这道菜。”
  谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过导师主要是想知道她自己是怎么想的。谢蕾困惑不解,因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献,形成自己睿智的观点。
  此外,谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题,并且还要进行展示。刚开始,谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但使她惊奇的是,没过几周,她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功,提升了我的自信心。”她说,“回国后,我会将这些技能运用到展示中,帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。”
  现在一年的交流时间已过半,谢蕾感到她在英国的学习和生活自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常了。“融入英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说,“努力学习之余,我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷,渴望了解更多中国文化,因此我也乐于同他们分享。我攻读商科的同时也是一个文化使者,在中外文化之间架起了一座桥梁。”
我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况,但现在我们祝她一切顺利。

自主翻译

should say, but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up
in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese
art was a great success, which boosted my confidence ,” she
said.“I’ll use these skills back home for presentations.They’ll help me
build a strong business in the future.”

  Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more

normal to her.“[14] Engaging in British culture has helped,” she
said.“As well as studying hard, I’ve been involved in social
activities.British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn
more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture with them.[15]While
I’m learning about business, I’m also acting as a cultural messenger

【参考译文】
“欢迎你,谢蕾!”
商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁
半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的班机。
这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动,也很紧张,不知道会发生什
么。”谢蕾回忆道。
谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科,来我校参加为期一年的交流项
目。“之所以选择这个交流项目,是因为我想了解全球商务,并
提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”
她解释道。
起初,谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全
新的生活。”她说,“我得学会使用公共交通,学会要我不知道英文
名称的东西。迷路时,我得向路人求助,但是这里的人讲话语速很
快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!”
虽然一些留学生住在学校里,但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭,这有
助于她适应异国文化。“有第二个家,想家时我会得到一些安慰。”
谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以咨询他们。他们
对中国也很感兴趣,我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚
轮流做饭,他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋!劳拉说每次闻到香味,
她就感到饥肠辘辘,于是我也教她做这道菜。”
  谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟
她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过导师主要是想知
道她自己是怎么想的。谢蕾困惑不解,因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人
多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献,形成自己睿智的观点。
此外,谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学
生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题,并且还要进行展
示。刚开始,谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但使她惊奇的是,没过几周,
她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功,提
升了我的自信心。”她说,“回国后,我会将这些技能运用到展示
中,帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。”
  现在一年的交流时间已过半,谢蕾感到她在英国的学习和生活自
如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常了。“融入
英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说,“努力学习之余,我还参加了一些
社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷,渴望了解更多中国文化,
因此我也乐于同他们分享。我攻读商科的同时也是一个文化使者,在
中外文化之间架起了一座桥梁。”
我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况,但现在我们祝
她一切顺利。

2. Read the passage carefully and find the sentences describing a person.

 (3)Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than
other people.

more about it, so I’m keen to share my culture with them. 
第四步:抒己见提升思维
1. What challenges will you face if you study abroad?




 For one thing, I’ll face a language barrier, which means
communication can be a challenge. It may take time to adapt to a new
language and understand the local dialects. For another, being away
from family and friends can lead to feelings of homesickness. 
2. What do you think of studying abroad?





 In my opinion, studying abroad provides a unique opportunity for
personal, academic, and professional development that can have a
lasting impact on one’s life. However, while studying abroad can be
a rewarding and enriching experience, it also comes with its own set
of challenges.

  (2024·山东六校高二下学期联考)These days, we are all dealing
with huge amounts of information, and we are all trying to store our notes
and other thoughts. The following are some note-taking apps for you.
  Notion
  If there’s one way to describe Notion, it would be ambitious. You
can start with several different types of formats — a table, a board, a
timeline, a calendar, a list, a created template, or just an empty
page. You can also share your data with a number of apps.
  Cost: Free version available. Plus version costs $10 a month or $96
a year.
  Evernote
  Evernote started out in 2008 as an innovative and well-regarded note-
taking app. Over the years, however, its reputation has suffered as it
worked through privacy missteps, increased fees, and a complicated
interface. And it has limited its free version to 50 notes, making it
essentially unusable for most users except as a trial version.
  Cost: Limited free version available. Personal plan
costs $14.99 a month or $129.99 a year.
  UpNote
  UpNote is a good-looking, relatively simple to master app that looks
to be an attractive alternative to Evernote. In fact, if you do plan to use
UpNote extensively, you will have to move off the free plan, which
only allows up to 50 notes. After that, the Premium plan offers unlimited
notes and the ability to add attachments (附件) and tables.
  Cost: Free version available, limited to 50 notes.
Pro version costs 99 cents a month or $29.99 for a
lifetime subscription.
  OneNote
  In OneNote, each entry is a page, and each page can contain a
variety of different media, including text, audio, images, video,
tables, and drawings, among others. Pages are organised into sections
and sections into notebooks.

本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了四种用来记笔记、
记录灵感和想法的手机app。
1. What is special about Notion?
A. It offers a variety of formats.
B. It limits the number of notes.
C. You can add attachments and tables.
D. You can organise pages into sections.
解析: 细节理解题。根据Notion的介绍可知,这一app最大的特
点是提供了各种不同类型的版式供你选择,包括表格、告示牌、时
间轴、日历、列表、创建的模板或者只是一个空白页面。
2. How much should you pay to subscribe to Pro version of UpNote for
one year?
A. $11.88. B. $29.99.
C. $120. D. $129.99.
解析: 数字计算题。根据UpNote的介绍可知,这一app专业版
的订阅价格是每个月99美分。因此订阅一年的费用是12×0.99=
11.88(美元)。
3. Which of the following has witnessed a decrease in popularity?
A. Notion. B. Evernote.
C. UpNote. D. OneNote.
解析: 细节理解题。根据Evernote的介绍可知,这一app开始口
碑很好,后来由于用户隐私方面的失误、费用的增加和复杂的界
面,它的声誉受到了损害,用户人群也在减少。

  (2024·太原高二下学期质检)Besides the excitement of travel,
one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,
holidays, foods, art, music, and politics first-hand.
  “I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps more
important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself.I
learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and
my host family, not from the tourist’s point of view,” says
Andrew, who studied in Poitiers, France.
  Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-
confidence.Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10
million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!
Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs
and to express herself in another language.What could make you more
confident than that?
  Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition (过
渡) to college and adulthood.Matthew says he returned from studying in
Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that
really set him apart from his peers.“After having gone abroad in high
school, I found the transition to college to be a breeze — moving 560
miles from home didn’t seem particularly frightening after having lived
thousands of miles away.”
  And speaking of colleges, improving your language skills might
help you get into choice colleges and even land future jobs.Colleges and
employers know that studying abroad provides leadership skills in a world
that is increasingly globally interconnected.
  Most of all, it’s fun! You’re not likely to suffer from general
boredom while you’re studying in a different learning environment.

4. What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?
A. The foreign food.
B. The foreign cultures.
C. The foreign customs.
D. The foreign language.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段Andrew的话可知,他在国外掌
握了流利的外语,但是他更看重的是所了解的外国文化。
5. The example of Christina shows that studying abroad can     .
A. change our habits
B. offer us opportunities
C. increase our knowledge
D. give us self-confidence
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段首句及末句可知,Christina出
国留学最大的收获是获得了自信。
6. What made Matthew different from his peers?
A. His social skills.
B. His fluent English.
C. His special character.
D. His global perspective.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第四段中的a real interest in
international affairs that really set him apart from his peers 可知,使
Matthew区别于他的同龄人的是他对国际事务的真正兴趣。也就是
说,Matthew具有国际视野。
7. The underlined words “a breeze” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to
“     ”.
A. something very important
B. something very interesting
C. something very easy
D. something very hard
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第四段中Matthew的话可知,他高中
在数千英里之外的国外生活过之后,去离家560英里的大学已经是
小菜一碟了。由此可推测,a breeze表示“轻而易举的事”。

educators have questioned the published rankings and how useful they are.
  A number of magazines publish lists of college rankings once every
year. High school students use the lists as reference guides when
considering where to continue their education.  9  Across the country,
more than 4,000 colleges and universities offer undergraduate degree
programs.
  Forbes published its college ratings recently. It listed 650 schools.
Like other lists, Forbes considers things like student satisfaction, how
successful college graduates are and how much money they make. The
magazine adds another important piece of information: How much debt
students will owe after they graduate.
    10  All of them said students and parents should look at more than
just rankings because they do not tell the whole story about a school.
  Ray Anderson of Virginia is a former high school principal. He now
works with a service called AGM-College Advisors.  11  Anderson
says what is most important to him is knowing what the student wants,
likes and is capable of doing.
  Jeffrey Stahl agrees that rankings have limited value. In his job as a
counselor at Yorktown High School in Virginia, he talks with students
about colleges.  12  Then, they should widen their search and see the
colleges for themselves.
A. We spoke with many education experts.
B. Choosing a college is of great importance.
C. There are plenty of schools to choose from.
D. Some students place too much attention on the rankings.
E. It provides guidance on higher education to students and their families.
F. He suggests that families use the ranking information as a starting
point.
G. On top of the magazine’s list this year are schools known around the
world.
