If that doesnt mean much to you (its not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that its a small, not ve

10、ry heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you cant find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema. Other than that, my phone doesnt do much. Well, it has an alarm, and it probably h

11、as a calculator and things like that, but its nothing compared to a smartphone. Why would I want one of those?I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that you can do everything with them! But when was the last time you saw someone doing everything with a smartphone? O

12、kay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. Im happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is th

13、at you can be connected to the Internet all the time. Dont get me wrong, I love the internet, but I just dont see the point of constantly being online. I cant remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I cant imagine

14、 ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately. I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that. One of the most peculiar（独特的） effects of the smartphone is, i

15、n my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation (导航) systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time?! How do you get to know an area if you dont get lost there a few times? And if you are dependent on online maps, what happens to those great

16、places you find just by chance? You cant exactly find out from Google maps the journey from here to that hidden cafe with the tasty-looking cakes , or to that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening sun. It is, of course, true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in t

17、he right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone, like the fact that it cost me about twenty pounds, and that I dont have to worry too much about it being stolen .But the main benefit has to be the fact that

18、it provides me with the word greatest excuse for my bad habits. Whether its turning up late to events ,or getting lost on a trip, or missing buses or trains ,or forgetting about an appointment at work ,Im pretty sure Im covered with the following explanation: “Im really sorry, I dont have a smartpho

19、ne.21. The writer uses his Nokia 1616 mainly to _.A. play online gamesB. do calculating workC. check social network sitesD. make calls and text messages22. It can be inferred from the above passage that_.A. work-related emails should be answered immediatelyB. a laptop and a smartphone share many fun

20、ctionsC. smartphones should always be connected to the netD. a Facebook update is usually very important23. According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may _A. miss some really wonderful placesB. find a boring trip actually excitingC. be persuaded to eat in a certain cafD. be misled

21、 to a totally wrong place24. The writers purpose for writing this article is to_ A. explain why he doesnt want a smartphone B. warn readers of the risks of using smartphones C. complain about the troubles caused by smartphones D. inform readers of the latest development of mobile phonesBSome say col

22、lege is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we cant go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they

23、 will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITYAs soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always rem

24、ember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.BE RESPONSIBLEThere are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you cant, confess it ear

25、ly and communicate clearly. But being responsible isnt just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate

26、, sensible decisions so you arent reeling from(受影响) the consequences later.TAKE THE OPPORTUNITYIncredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Dont let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time o

27、r as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.FIND AND BE A MENTORSome of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor(良师益友). One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a m

28、entor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.GET THE JOB DONEIt is natural to occasionally feel you want to q

29、uit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（不可克服的） it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and th

30、at is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”25. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is _.A. taking part in different activities B. working hard to get a degreeC. seizing every chance to try

31、new things D. improving themselves by learning from the others26.Which of the following about college life is true? A. Passing on what youve learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others. C. Professors will not a

32、ssess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want. 27.What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process.B. I

33、t is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.28.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some rules for th

34、e college students.B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.C With the popularity of Harry Potter novels, the number of children applying to boarding sch

35、ools has risen, many of them hoping to find their own version of Hogwarts. However, others have interpreted this trend as a reaction to longer working hours and the break up of more marriages. The boarding schools of fiction are presented as one long midnight feast with pillow fights making firm fri

36、endships. However, some people say the reality is children having more homesickness and a lack of individual attention. Modern boarding schools have done much to get rid of the image of the mass dormitories with 40 or more beds in one room, some going as far as providing private rooms with bathrooms

37、. Similarly, they make great announcements for their academic advantage, particularly in view of the increase in exams, homework and university entrance requirements facing children wishing to succeed in the modern world. Alongside these more conventional schools, two types of boarding schools have

38、also become more popular recently. Sports academies and stage schools seek to cater for children with particular interests and talents, while so-called troubled-teens have been able to turn to a range of religious or wilderness schools to solve their problematic behavior. Boarding schools allow chil

39、dren a safe space in which to accomplish greater control and independence over their daily lives. Teachers and staff can look after and support but they are unlikely to be over-protective. This can be a great preparation for university or for working away from home in later life as it provides an in

40、termediate step between childhood and full independence. However, Parents are a childs most natural support and best role models to learn from. If they are separated from them for long periods of time, this may damage their relationship and leave the child feeling anxious or alone. Schools are unlik

41、ely to be able to copy the detailed knowledge of each individual child that a parent has and therefore cannot be as effective in supporting the child. To sum up, boarding schools have both their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to decide whether to send your children to boarding scho

42、ols or not.29. What do we know from the passage? A. More and more children go and visit Hogwarts on their own. B. Pillow fights in boarding schools make firm friendships in reality. C. More children want to go to boarding schools because of Harry Potter novels. D. There arent special schools for the

43、 particularly talented children.30. What kind of schools may be the most suitable for the so-called troubled-teens? A. sports academies B. Wilderness schools C. Conventional schools D. Stage schools31. We learn from Paragraph 4 that _. A. teachers of boarding schools are the best examples for childr

44、en to learn from B. children can be more independent if they are separated from their parents C. parents know their children better than teachers of boarding schools D. schools are much more effective than parents in supporting children32. What is the authors opinion of boarding schools? A. Neutral

45、B. Negative C. Positive D. CriticalDIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back do

46、or as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from

47、 having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. On

48、ce again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This expe

49、rience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everl

50、asting. 33. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The mans job was bike racing.34. We can infer from the text that _. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before C

51、hristmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family. 35. What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.第二节 （共5小题

52、，每题2分，满分10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。有两项为多余选项。Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university. Students are graduating with larger and larger debts. _36_In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees.

53、 More than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan（贷款）in order to go to university. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around 12,000. Students of me

54、dicine usually have debts of more than 20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating. If you start to earn over 15,000 a year, the gove

55、rnment takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. _37_You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in white-collar jobs seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to v

56、alue work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. _38_ Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disap

57、pointing for a lot of graduates. _39_ Even before the credit crisis started, the BBC stated: “The number of British students at UK universities has fallen for the first time in recent history, It looks like the figures will continue to decline, since loan companies are now telling some students that

58、 there are no loans available for them.By contrast, things are now easier for students from other countries coming to study in the UK, since the value of the British pound has fallen. More international students come to Britain each year. The British universities offer more and more of the available

59、 places to richer international students rather than poorer British students. _40_A. Some British people fear that, one day, there wont be any university places left for British students at all. B. Most British students expect to have to get a loan, part-time job or summer job.C. So is a university

60、degree really worth it?D. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan.E. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents home until they are 30 years old?F. All of the above is beginning to make B

61、ritish people question whether a university degree is really worth the money.G. While at university, they have dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. 第三节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Four days ago, I was taking a taxi.
