1.How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an―all nighter which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.Myth 2: American students party all night and day.While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior. and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crimerates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.(1) According to the passage, the word-myth means ().A、taleB、misunderstandingC、mistakeD、story(2) In selective colleges, you will find students ().A、are not as academically driven in comparison to other nationsB、have little concern for their academic well-beingC、spend countless hours on their homeworkD、party all night and day(3) Which of the following is NOT the way most American students pay for their college education?A、Work part-timeB、Apply for loansC、Earn scholarshipsD、Borrow money from their parents(4) College campuses in the United States ().A、are very safeB、are crime-riddenC、have high crime ratesD、are too safe to make precautions(5) According to the passage, what can we learn about American college students?A、Students are tired of staying up all night to perfect an assignment.B、Some students have little concern for their academic well-being.C、They come from wealthy families and can afford a college education.D、International students will not join clubs or organizations.

2.Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and eachcourse which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student would probably attend four or five courses each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for a degree over a longer period of time. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree courses, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to perspective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.1. Normally a student would at least attend _______ classes each week.A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 152. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in a different universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities3. American universities students are usually under pressure of work because _________A. their academic performance will affect their future careerB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplinesD. they want to run for positions of authority4. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _____A. they have the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the university.C. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well-paid5. The student organizations seem to be effective in ______.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court.D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities

4.The opportunity to study abroad should be something that sounds very exciting. For most students, going abroad is a life-changing experience. There are benefits for the host country as well. Not only do foreign students spend money on tuition, housing, food and clothing, but they also often take home positive impressions of their stay and the people they met.But Japan, which hosts over 100,000 foreign students a year, is having trouble making the most of its foreign students. “I’ve been here for three years,” says a 26-year-old Chinese student in Osaka. “I don’t have any Japanese friends, I’ve never been invited to a Japanese home, and I’ve never felt very welcome here.”That’s hardly the kind of impression that the Japanese government wants foreign students taking home to their families and classmates, but it seems to be a widespread sentiment(情感). One newspaper complained that, “If foreign students tell everyone how they hate this country when they go home, we should ask for what purpose we are hosting them to begin with.”Many of the students arrive with hopes to learn Japanese and stay on for a few years working for a Japanese company. However, that doesn’t always work out. Many foreign students graduate from a Japanese university only to discover that “Japanese companies don’t hire foreigners because they think they cannot trust non-Japanese people,” says one job-seeker from the Philippines.This is a problem for universities. With the Japanese birth rate one of the lowest in the world, Japanese schools are turning to foreign students to fill their classrooms.The government has actively tried to increase the number of foreign students, up from fewer than 10,000 only 20 years ago. But, as one student in Tokyo says, “Japan’s policy is one of persuading people to come and then dissuading them from staying.”1). According to the author, studying abroad ________.A. does good to most foreign students and the host countryB. ensures a chance to get promotedC. has a great effect on most foreign studentsD. both A and C2). How is life in Japan in the eyes of most foreign students?A. Helpful and meaningful.B. Busy yet attractive.C. Boring and disappointing.D. Tiring yet rewarding.3). The word “dissuading” in the last paragraph probably means ________ .A. discouragingB. encouragingC. advisingD. informing4). Which of the following is NOT true?A. Japan is one of the countries with the lowest birth rate worldwide.B. The present situation in Japan lies in the slow action by the government.C. It is almost impossible for foreign graduates to work in Japanese companies.D. learning Japanese and having work experience are the hopes of many arrivals.5). A suitable title for this passage might be ________.A. Poor Reception in JapanB. Japanese Foreign PoliciesC. Japanese Shifting PopulationD. Successful Careers in Japan

  • 第1题:

    [A] For example, the Moche lords of Sipán in coastal Peru were buried in about AD 400 in fine cotton dress and with exquisite ornaments of bead, gold, and silver. Few burials rival their lavish sepulchres. Being able to trace the development of such rituals over thousands of years has added to our understanding of the development of human intellect and spirit.

    [B] By 40,000 years ago people could be found hunting and gathering food across most of the regions of Africa. Populations in different regions employed various technological developments in adapting to their different environments and climates.

    [C] Archaeological studies have also provided much information about the people who first arrived in the Americas over 12,000 years ago.

    [D] The first fossil records of vascular plants—that is, land plants with tissue that carries food—appeared in the Silurian period. They were simple plants that had not developed separate stems and leaves.

    [E] Laetoli even reveals footprints of humans from 3.6 million years ago. Some sites also contain evidence of the earliest use of simple tools. Archaeologists have also recorded how primitive forms of humans spread out of Africa into Asia about 1.8 million years ago, then into Europe about 900,000 years ago.

    [F] One research project involves the study of garbage in present-day cities across the United States. This garbage is the modern equivalent of the remains found in the archaeological record. In the future, archaeologists will continue to move into new realms of study.

    [G] Other sites that represent great human achievement are as varied as the cliff dwellings of the ancient Anasazi (a group of early Native Americans of North America) at Mesa Verde, Colorado; the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains of Peru; and the mysterious, massive stone portrait heads of remote Easter Island in the Pacific.


    正确答案:E

    本题考查的知识点是:段落内一致性原则+词语的复现

    本题的解答方法有两种:顺读法和逆读法。先看顺读法,文章首句是全文的主题句:考古学研究的时间很长,涉及到的主题也多种多样。第二句出现了特征词earliest,并将第一段的中心内容缩小为:最早的考古研究主题是人类起源。接下来的内容主要举例说明这方面的研究,如:人类祖先的化石残骸、最早的考古遗址。根据段落一致性原则,除非出现表示转折的逻辑词,空格处的内容应围绕这一中心内容展开论述。从内容上判断,只有[E]项正确。该项第一、二句提到人类足迹和最早的工具的使用,依然属于对于人类起源研究的范畴。此外,该项也出现了原词Laetoli的复现以及第二句some sites contain evidence of the earliest…与原文中的These sites contain evidence of the first…结构上的呼应。逻辑词also表明空格处填入的内容和上文是并列逻辑关系。[C]、[D]项出现了同义词的复现,即first对应原文中的earliest,[G]项复现了原词sites,但[C]项中的“到达美洲的人口”,[D]项中“导管植物”(vascular plants),[G]项中的“人类的伟大成就”显然都与空白处的上文无法衔接。

    也可用逆读法,空格出现在一段末。其上文提到一些直立行走的两足动物(类似猿的早期人类),下文则提到最早具有现代身体特征的人类。因此空格处的内容也应该围绕人类展开论述,提到humans或其同义词的有[B]、[C]、[E]、[G]项。然后再根据段落内一致性原则,排除干扰项,得出[E]项正确。

    C.Framing move.
    D.Repair move.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查课堂话语分析。题干意思:下面哪一个是教师用来评价学生课堂表现的评价话步Initiation move“引发话步”,包括要求对方用语言或非语言形式做出反应,传达思想、事实、意见或信息等。Follow-up move“反馈话步”,主要表现为教师对学生回答做出的后续性话语,其结构包括三类话目:接受(accept)、评价(evaluate)和评论(comment)、,例如"Good….Fine”这样一些词属于反馈话步。Framing move“框架话步”,用来表明课堂话语新一阶段的开始,在语流中起着标示边界的作用。例如 “Well”“OK”这样一些词属于框架话步。故本题选B。

    Passage 2Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact,according to an official report on youth violence,“In our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case,why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words,name-calling,and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand,soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility,"64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom;75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______
    A

    Practice 3  In-state tuition. For decades, it was the one advantage big state schools had that even the Ivy League couldn’t match, in terms of recruiting the best and the brightest to their campuses. But these days, that’s no longer necessarily the case. Starting this September, some students will find a Harvard degree cheaper than one from many public universities. Harvard officials sent shock waves through academia last December by detailing a new financial-aid policy that will charge families making up to $180,000 just 10 % of their household income per year, substantially subsidizing the annual cost of more than $ 45,600 for all but its wealthiest students. The move was just the latest in what has amounted to a financial-aid bidding war in recent years among the U. S.’s élite universities.  Though Harvard’s is the most generous to date, Princeton, Yale and Stanford have all launched similar plans to cap tuition contributions for students from low-and middle-income families. Indeed, students on financial aid at nearly every Ivy stand a good chance of graduating debt-free, thanks to loan-elimination programs introduced over the past five years. And other exclusive schools have followed their lead by replacing loans with grants and work-study aid. And several more schools are joining the no-loan club this fall. Even more schools have taken steps to reduce debt among their neediest students.

    话说州内居民上大学的学费。几十年来,这是大型州立大学在招收顶尖学生方面所具有的一大优势,就连常春藤联合会的名牌大学也无法与之媲美。但是,近来州立大学未必再有这一优势。从今年9月开始,一些学生会发现在哈佛大学念学位,其学费要比许多公立大学便宜。去年l2月,哈佛的行政管理人员详细介绍了一项新的助学政策,学校向家庭收入在18万美元以下的学生所收的学费只占其家庭年收入的l0%,从而为除来自最富家庭的学生以外的所有学生每年超过45600美元的费用提供了相当大的资助。哈佛的这一举措给学界造成了冲击波。而这个举措只不过是近年来美国名牌大学之间所进行的为学生提供资助的争夺战中最新的一个例子。
    虽然迄今为止哈佛提供的资助最为慷慨,但是普林斯顿、耶鲁和斯坦福也已经推出了类似的计划,为来自低收入和中等收入家庭的学生在学费上提供更多的资助。确实,在几乎每一所常春藤大学,得到资助的学生多亏了过去5年所实施的消除贷款的方案,大有可能在毕业时不欠债务,其他收费昂贵的学校也随后跟进,以助学金和工读资助取代贷款。今年秋季,有好几所学校将加入无贷款的行列,甚至还有更多的学校业已采取措施为其家境最困难的学生减轻债务。
