Like most families living there, we stayed in a two- bedroom suite. We were living from paycheck to paycheck, so when Christmas approached, we didn’t know if we could be able to purchase gifts for our children.‎ A few days before Christmas someone dropped off presents for all the kids that lived in the motel. It brought so much joy to all the children, most of whom knew that they wouldn’t be receiving anything.‎ Five years ago, we moved out of the motel. After that, my husband and I were working hard at the Joe’s Crab Shack to support our family. A few days before Christmas, I was working a “big top” and a single table. The man at my table could see that ‎ the large table was taking most of my time, but I was very patient and friendly. Between drinks and food I was able to chat with him about his family and mine. He left me $10, then walked out. About 10 minutes later, I turned around and there he was again. He gave me a hug, and put something in the side of my coat, telling me “Have a Merry Christmas”. I reached into my coat and pulled out $800.‎ I was so moved by his generosity that I burst into tears. He had given me more than enough money to help my family catch up on our bills. After discussing what we should do with the money we had left over, we decided to buy presents for the families living at the motel, so we could pass on the blessing that we had received. Since then, it has been a tradition for us to give Christmas gift to the families in need.‎ Last year we were able to give presents each of the 80 children at a school in our community, and throw a Christmas party for them.

Even my sociology professor jokingly told our class: “If your motto isn’t ‘I am partying therefore I am,’ you’re college-ing wrong.”‎ Whenever I say partying isn’t fun, I get the same response: wide-eyed stares, dropped jaws and a resounding “Seriously?”, which makes me feel like I’m being judged.‎ Don’t get me wrong – I’ve tried to enjoy dancing in hot, crowded spaces to loud rap music. But at last, I’ve always escaped to an empty corner while trying to ignore rude, crazy people. I wondered if I was weird for wanting to stay in on a Friday night to read a book. I even questioned whether or not I was living the “authentic(真正的)” college experience.‎ ‎“Maybe you – a shy boy – just need to go out more.” Friends have said. Suggestions like these make me think about food. Have you ever tasted something that someone else really likes and you don’t? When that happens to me, I have a habit of eating more hoping that it will eventually taste good. Does that ever work? No.‎ For me, partying is a lot like that. From what I can tell, I’m just not a fan. I’m not trying to set myself apart – I just have a different definition of fun. ‎ As you begin to think about your present college life, I hope this helps you realize that there isn’t just one way to experience college life. Some turn up at a party to relax. I turn to a good book. Which option have you made in college? And remember: college is a place where you can keep yourself originally. It means not going with the flow and means figuring out what you want for yourself, originating your own values and thinking a way towards your future success. ‎ ‎28. What should college life be like in most people’s opinion?‎ ‎ A. Making assumptions is part of college life.‎ ‎ B. Everyone will do something wrong in college.‎ ‎ C. College students are involved in partying.‎ ‎ D. College professors seldom joke college students.‎ ‎29. What does the author think of college parties?‎ ‎ A. Comfortable. B. Boring. C. Unavoidable. D. Exciting.‎ ‎30. The author talks about food in the fourth paragraph because _________.‎ ‎ A. he likes eating tasty food at parties.‎ ‎ B. there is much food at college parties.‎ ‎ C. he wants to compare food to parties.‎ ‎ D. he is really a food fan.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s purpose to write this passage?‎ ‎ A. To remind college students of what college means.‎ ‎ B. To introduce what subject students can learn in college.‎ ‎ C. To share some good choices most college students have made.‎ ‎ D. To show his strong support to the present college life.‎ D Preventing obesity (肥胖) and smoking can save lives, but it doesn’t save money, reported researchers. “It was a small surprise, for it is against the common belief,” said Pieter Van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more.”‎ The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group cost about $417, 000, from age 20 on. Smokers cost about $326, 000 and obese people $371, 000.‎ ‎“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If we’re going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.‎ ‎“The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrow’s budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Van Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a longer chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.‎ ‎“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don’t survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆症) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Van Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.”‎ ‎32. Among middle-aged people, who may cost the health system most?‎ ‎ A. Those who are heavy smokers. B. Those who are overweight.‎ ‎ C. Those who are too thin. D. Those who are suffering from heart attacks.‎ ‎33. What can we know about the belief that obesity costs much?‎ ‎ A. It turns out to be incorrect.‎ B. It comes from scientific study. ‎ ‎ C. It is based on medical evidence.‎ D. It has changed over the past years.‎ ‎34. According to the text, governments prevent obesity for the purpose of _______.‎ ‎ A. reducing the risks of suffering cancer ‎ B. weakening obesity’s financial impact ‎ C. making sure of people’s long and healthy life ‎ D. reducing the money spent on medical programs ‎35. What would be the best title for this text?‎ ‎ A. Recent Medical Study Shows Truth about Health ‎ B. Preventing Obesity and Smoking May Cost More ‎ C. Obesity and Smoking Lead to Expensive Diseases ‎ D. Governments Change Attitude towards Obesity and Smoking 第二节 （共5小题，每小题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，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Be Creative Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 36 The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.‎ ‎1. Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 37 In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.‎ ‎2. Try different things If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 38 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.‎ ‎3. 39 ‎ ‎ Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 40 The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.‎ A. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.‎ B. Seek several options C. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.‎ D. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.‎ E. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.‎ F. Think from the other person’s point of view.‎ G. Take action 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ This morning just after I received the news that my best friend, Sean Misner, one of the firefighters, died in an Arizona wildfire in June, I created a Facebook page in his 41 .‎ Sean and I were like brothers all these years.
