Making friends and enjoying yourself is also necessary for the courses. Parties are social events for students to gather and chat with each other.‎ Now let's follow a foreign friend to see what parties in the US are like. Get some inspiration to have fun with your friends in your new life.‎ Drinking and music College parties in the US are always lacking in creativity and full of wine and music. The basic form rarely changes — drink until you cannot anymore and play loud music at an earth-shaking volume. There is plenty of beer involved, and some mixed cocktails.‎ Creativity in dress The creativity comes in how parties are dressed up. Parties often have a specific theme, like a 90s party or a sports party. At a 90s party, guests might show up dressed like once-famous celebrities. At a sports party, guests might wear their favorite team's uniforms.‎ ‎ Held in apartments The party is usually held in the apartment of a particular outgoing friend. Everyone will be invited, which means strangers will wander in and out of the apartment where you can get to know and make some new friends.‎ ‎ Ugly sweater party On holidays, parties frequently take on a proper theme. A popular ‎ theme around Christmas is the ugly sweater party. The goal is to wear the ugliest sweater you can find, creating an atmosphere of fun.‎ ‎ Whatever the occasion is, there will be no shortage of booze. If you are smart enough, you won't have so much as to lose your consciousness. Parties are always better when you can remember them the next day.‎ ‎1. This passage introduces .‎ A. what to wear at the US college parties B. how much to drink at the US college parties C. how to make friends at the US colleges D. parties of the US colleges ‎2. The passage is probably written for in colleges. ‎ A. the freshmen B. the party lovers ‎ C. the graduates D. the excellent students ‎3. The author attaches importance to at the parties in colleges.‎ A. creativity arising from inspiration B. drinking to your heart's content C. communication combined with fun D. dressing in a fancy style ‎4. What does the underlined word "booze" in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. Juice. B. Alcohol. C. Food. D. Music.‎ B At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.‎ But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.‎ One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she ‎ wanted me to have all A’s.‎ I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.‎ ‎5.When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother .‎ A. wanted to go with him B. worried about his safety C. didn’t allow him to go D. asked his grandmother for advice ‎6.The author decided to move away for college to .‎ A. be different from his peers B. keep away from his mother C. be independent in outside world D. make his mother unhappy ‎7.We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother .‎ A. had a high expectation from him B. was too strict with him C. used to expect nothing from him D. cared little about his learning ‎8.In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us .‎ A. his long way to becoming independent B. his good relationship with his mother C. his mother’s deep love for him D. the importance of a mother’s trust and support C ‎ Say you're in the supermarket parking lot，holding your baby，bags of goods，and trying to open your car. A stranger walks up and says，“ Here，let me hold your baby.” Should you let him?‎ According to a new New York University study，knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know it's there. The researchers knew from previous studies that people are fairly similar when it comes to how they judge a face's trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick moment—an amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.‎ To carry out their study，the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each. Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects，who saw them for much longer. In those earlier tests，people agreed about whether to trust each face. In this new study，fascinatingly，different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy one—and it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious (可疑的)．‎ ‎“ Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala，so it could ‎ then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to people—approach or avoid，” says Jon Freeman，the study's senior author. “Our talents for making instant judgments could either come from birth or be learned from the social environment.”‎ So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows.‎ ‎9．What is Paragraph 1 used to?‎ A．To summarize the whole passage. B．To make the passage more interesting.‎ C．To introduce the topic of the passage. D．To warn people to guard against strangers.‎ ‎10．The amygdala lit up more clearly when people ________．‎ A．came across a neutral face mask B．saw an untrustworthy face C．met a reliable person D．saw a familiar face ‎11．What can we infer from Freeman's words?‎ A．Brain processes cannot be changed. B．The amygdala tracks only faces of bad men.‎ C．The amygdala decides the accuracy of judgments.‎ D．The ability of making fast judgments can be acquired.‎ ‎12．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Is facial trustworthiness reliable?‎ B．You can judge a person even without being aware of it C．Your brain decides whether to trust people in milliseconds D．Can the amygdala reveal how people make automatic judgments?‎ 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。（注意：选E涂AB，选F涂CD，选G涂ABCD）‎ Many of us deal with the rush every morning in preparation for work or school, but it doesn't have to be this way.
