A
Whether a student is moving to a new college or attending for the first time, there is a certain period of adjustment that's required. Students that have never previously attended college must adjust to life as college freshmen（大学一年级新生）. With college, there comes a new level of responsibility in terms of education. Students are confronted（面临）with classes that are often more challenging. During their freshman year, students may feel at a loss or stressed about these changes to their new life. Fortunately, there are ways for students to adjust successfully to college life.
Get Involved
Getting involved in college activities can help freshmen adjust to college life. Activities can help students feel as if they are a part of their environment, and help them to relieve（缓解）some of the everyday stress associated with classes and studying. Students may consider getting involved in clubs, sports, student organizations, or other activities that take place outside of the classroom. This will also allow them to meet and interact with new people on campus.
Stay Positive
Freshmen have a lot to adjust to and at times it can feel like too much to handle. When a student feels at a loss by meeting new people, adjusting to new professors, studying, and college life in general, he or she may start to feel negative about the whole experience. When this happens, it is crucial that students stay positive with both their behavior and thoughts. Associating with people who have a positive outlook on their college experience and avoiding those who do not are great ways to feel better. Thinking of long-term goals will also help students feel more positive about college and education in general.
Go to Class
Attending classes is one of the most important student responsibilities. With the new found freedom that college brings, some freshmen may want to skip classes for other activities. At certain colleges, attendance is critical, particularly for classes that are in high demand. Failure to attend may cause a student to be dropped from the class. In classes where attendance is not taken, students may miss critical information necessary for their studies and may fail the class. Unless a student is ill, he or she should make every effort to attend all of their classes in a timely manner.
Communicate Productively
New college students may feel uncomfortable when it comes to communicating their needs. This difficulty could arise when it comes to speaking with professors or with fellow students, such as roommates. No matter where the problem falls, it is necessary for freshman to develop the confidence and the skills to communicate effectively. Speaking with confidence and respect will help students to get the information that they need and help them to avoid confusion or complications with other students.
31. Freshmen can reduce daily stress by________.
A. meeting new people on campus every day B. participating in college activities
C. pretending to be a part of their environment D. starting clubs or student organizations
32. According to Paragraph 3, what factors may make freshmen feel depressed?
A. Not knowing how to control their behavior and thoughts. B. Meeting too many people with positive outlook.
C. Not knowing how to face the new life in college. D. Thinking of long-term goals.
33. As is described in Paragraph 4, what happens if a student skip class?
A. He or she can take part in other activities instead. B. He or she may fail in the exam.
C. He or she is considered free to do so. D. He or she may give up the class.
34. In communicating their needs, freshmen should________.
A. speak to those who respect them B. gain confidence from the other person
C. learn to be polite and confident D. ask all the people around to make sure
35. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To point out the importance of college life.
B. To encourage freshmen to enjoy their first college year.
C. To help freshmen to adapt to college life smoothly.
D. To introduce the challenges that freshmen will face.

B
I’m an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall nd good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began.
Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”
What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.
Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.
Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talkshow host and writer—she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame.
Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what w need to do is learn to appreciate it.

推理判断题。根据文中第二段“Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”(与我周围所有有着金色头发和精致嘴唇的白人女孩相比，我，一个黑人女孩，有着卷曲的头发和饱满的红唇。无论天气如何，我的鼻子上经常有一层薄薄的汗水。我只想把自己埋在壳里哭着“我太不一样了！”)”可知，作者的外表与其他的孩子不同，这使得作者不容易适应学校的生活。故选A项。

C
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from onepoint of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
41. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to ________.
A. live an advanced life
B. look for better technical methods
C. change ways of living at the moment
D. accept technology and advance steadily
42. The author explains “ efficiency comes with a price ” by ________.
A. describing a process
B. using examples
C. following time order
D. making classification
43. Compared with home- made handicrafts, machine made products ________.
A. lack great accuracy
B. lack the personal touch
C. are of high value
D. are quite welcome
44. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?
A. It can destroy new traditions.
B. It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes if necessary.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
45. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.
B. People review the past with great regret.
C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.
D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. B 44. D 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了进步到底对我们的生活而言是好还是坏，作者认为正是人们对进步的态度导致了技术对社会的影响。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things. (每个人都期待进步，无论是在个人生活中还是在社会上。进步表明一个人改变他当下生活方式的能力。进步必须引导一种更好的做事方式。然而，只有当人们愿意接受技术，并通过寻找新的、更有效的做事方式向前发展时，所有这些才仍然是正确的。)”可知，进步可以给人们带来好处只有在技术为人们所接受并不断进步的时候才可能实现。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“efficiency comes with a price(效率是要付出代价的)”下文“When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.(当沟通变得高效时，人们无论在哪里，在任何时间都可以相互联系。只需点击一个按钮，相隔几英里的人们就可以交谈或见面，甚至不用离开家。有了手机和Ipad等通讯工具，人们通常不会亲自去拜访对方。私人拜访还有一个额外的特点，那就是只要拜访持续，你就必须和对方在一起。我们不能为自己找借口，也不能把对方拒之门外。)”可知，文章在讲解“efficiency comes with a price(效率是要付出代价的)”时，作者列举了例子来进行解释。故选B。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.(然而，随着效率的提高，在制作这些产品时也失去了个人风格。)”可知，与手工艺品相比，机器所制作出来的产品缺少了个人风格。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.(只有随着进步和新技术的发明，许多旧产品才能恢复到原来的状态。旧产品要保持老旧，就需要新技术。)”可知，技术可以用来保护旧产品。故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude.(正是人们对进步的态度导致了技术对社会的影响。技术是灵活的。没有固定的方法来利用它。一切都取决于人们的态度。)”可推断，人们的态度决定了技术的使用。故选D。

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Mike Sullivan, a former construction worker, took up woodworking after he and his wife, Judy, retired. He was enjoying carving things in his workshop, but he wanted to create something with more purpose.
Sullivan had been thinking about the single present he’d received in 1954 when he was growing up in a small mining town. His father earned $1 a day and couldn’t afford a New Year gift. He then made a small wooden horse, which Sullivan considered the best New Year present ever.
Sullivan talked about it with Judy and they decided to start making wooden toys to give away to kids on New Year’s Day. That first year, they made 360 toys.
The Sullivans now make about 1,500 toys each year to donate to local children’s charities, school districts and homeless shelters. Local businesses give them much of the wood, but the couple still dip into their own money every year to keep their workshop running. “My sales policy is not to collect a single penny. Everything we make is given away,” said Sullivan.
Last year, the couple’s daughter started a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of some materials and tools. People have donated more than $1,500 so far this holiday season.
This December, all the toys they made were distributed to local charities to behanded out to children from poor families. They are now getting a head start on next year’s toy workload.
The couple are now at work on the toys seven days a week, sometimes for 10hours a day. “Making toys keeps my mind active. I can’t just sit there and stare at a TV all day. The work really gives me a boost. Some days are easier than others, but they’re all rewarding,” said Sullivan. “I might take a day or two off after the New Year, but that’s it. As long as there’s a need out there, I don’t get to take many vacations.”

________________
47. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4?(1 word)
________________
48. What help did Sullivan’s daughter provide?(no more than 10 words)

I can’t just sit there and stare at a TV all day. The work really gives me a boost.( 这对夫妇现在每周工作七天，有时一天工作10个小时。沙利文说：“制作玩具让我的思维保持活跃。我不能整天坐在那里盯着电视看。这项工作真的给了我很大的鼓舞)”可知，Mike Sullivan在退休以后免费为无法得到玩具的孩子们制作玩具，并且为此努力工作，Mike Sullivan的事迹对我的启发是：我们应该关心身边的人，尽最大努力帮助那些需要帮助的人；或者是：我们应该采取积极的态度，过积极的生活。故填We should care about people around us and try our best to help those in need. Or:We should take a positive attitude and lead an active life.
