I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them. ‎ ‎ So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well. ‎ ‎ As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course. ‎ ‎ I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on. ‎ ‎ Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.‎ Yours, ‎ Edward Johnson ‎21. According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1? ‎ ‎ A. Critical thinking. B. 5-paragraph essay.‎ ‎ C. Sentences to paragraphing. D. Writing for TOEFL and CEE.‎ ‎22. We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course ______.‎ ‎ A. benefits anyone who takes it B. enjoys a nationwide reputation ‎ ‎ C. has won a number of awards D. has aroused students’ interest ‎ ‎23. Why does Edward write this letter?‎ ‎ A. To inform the school of his course plans. B. To seek assistance from the administration.‎ ‎ C. To show his achievements in Latin. D. To apply for the teaching position. ‎ B For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.‎ ‎ As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.‎ ‎ Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.‎ ‎ Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” ‎ ‎24. Which of the following is true of amusics?‎ A. Their situation is well understood by musicians.‎ B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.‎ C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.‎ D. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.‎ ‎25. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who ________.‎ A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything nonmusical C. has a hearing problem D. can not hear anything ‎26. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.‎ A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy C. her problem could be easily explained ‎ D. she were able to meet other amusics ‎27. What is the passage mainly concerned with?‎ A. Amusics’ strange behaviours. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.‎ C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics.‎ C I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month. ‎ And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.‎ ‎ But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)‎ ‎ My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.‎ ‎ Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.‎ ‎28. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.‎ ‎ A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too much ‎ C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him ‎29. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?‎ ‎ A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.‎ ‎30. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?‎ ‎ A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over. ‎ ‎31. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?‎ ‎ A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard. ‎ ‎ C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. ‎ ‎ D In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.‎ The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and ‎ television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.‎ This isn’t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. ‎ But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.‎ There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ______.‎ ‎ A. they throw parties a lot B. they stay up late every night ‎ ‎ C. they pay no attention to exams D. they work besides attending classes ‎33. What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?‎ ‎ A. The chance of finding a job after graduation. ‎ ‎ B. The lack of summer jobs for young adults.‎ ‎ C. The need of developing social networks. ‎ ‎ D. The expenses of high tuition and living costs. ‎ ‎34. We can learn from the passage that ______.‎ ‎ A. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits ‎ B. students can cover all their college expenses through working ‎ C. students receive a huge reward for managing work and class ‎ D. working students are more likely to finish college ‎35. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance ‎ ‎ C. The Reward of Working While Studying D. The Images of Working College Students 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。 ‎ The main cause of death and disability in the US Stroke （中风）is the main cause of death and disability in the United States.

With the development of people’s living standard and economy，they can afford to go abroad. Besides, more people are becoming interested in foreign cultures，therefore they are eager to visit different countries for themselves. However, some people behave very badly in foreign countries. For example, they drop litter everywhere, as well as spit freely in public, which not only shows bad personal qualities , but also does great harm to the image of our country。 It’s well known that China is an ancient civilized country with a long history. The country’s prosperity enables us to travel abroad. I think we should always bear in mind that it is everyone’s responsibility to uphold the image of our motherland while traveling abroad.‎
