First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework？" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions! Friendly people are another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student？" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!

段落翻译： Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).

As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.
By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.
This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.
1.Erosion by water results in _______.
A、wearing down the soil
B、building up land
C、enriching the soil
D、both B and C
2.Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.
A、narrower
B、deeper
C、wider
D、both B and C
3.Implied but not stated: ________
A、Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is now
B、Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by rivers
C、The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the ocean
D、The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years
4.The best title for this selection is ________.
A、How Water Destroys Mountains
B、How Rivers Help Us
C、The Average Height of the United States
D、The Mighty Raindrop
5.The average height of the United States above sea level ___.
A、is being raised each year
B、remains constant
C、will reach sea level in 9000 years
D、is being lowered little by little
第6题
Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels.Information that does not make any sense to you is difficult to remember.There are several ways in which we can make material more meaningful.Many people, for instance, learn a rhyme to help them remember.Do you know the rhyme "Thirty days has September, April, June, and November..."？ It helps many people remember which months of the year have 30 day s.
Organization also makes a difference in our ability to remember.How useful would a library be if the books were kept in random order？ Material that is organized is better remembered than jumbled information.One example of organization is chunking.C hunking consists of grouping separate bits of information.For example, the number 4671363 is more easily remembered if it is chunked as 467, 13, 63.Categorizing is another means of organization.Suppose you are asked to remember the following list of wor ds: man, bench, dog, desk, woman, horse, child, cat, chair.Many people will group the words into similar categories and remember them as follows: man, woman, child; cat, dog, horse; bench, chair, desk.Needless to say, the second list can be remembered mo re easily than the first one.
Association refers to taking the material we want to remember and relating it to something we remember accurately.In memorizing a number, you might try to associate it with familiar numbers or events.For example, the heigh t of Mount Fuji in Japan -12,389 feet -might be remembered using the following associations: 12 is the number of months in the year, and 389 is the number of days in a year (365) added to the number of months twice (24).
The last principle is visualizati on.Research has shown striking improvements in many types of memory tasks when people are asked to visualize the items to be remembered.In one study, subjects in one group were asked to learn some words using imagery, while the second group used repetiti on to learn the words.Those using imagery remembered 80 to 90 percent of the words, compared with 30 to 40 percent of the words for those who memorized by repetition.Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental pict ure can help us to preserve a memory.
1.What kind of information is easy for us to remember？()
A.Information that does not make any sense to us
B.Information that we are not familiar with
C.Information that is meaningful to us
D.Information that we are not interested in
2.Which of the following pairs are rhymes？()

A.the rhyme
B.the word category
C.th e first letters of words
D.the meanings
4.Books are kept in a library().
A.according to their size
B.in random order
C.in a jumbled way
D.in different categories
5.What method can better help form. a whole mental picture about the ti ngs to be remembered？()
A.Grouping
B.Repetition
C.Imagery
D.Association

Losing your ability to think and remember is prettyscary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia andage-related memory loss. After age 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places andthings quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brainthat are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affectcommunication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced asblood vessels narrow. Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. Butif you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeing it, that's far moreconcerning, Daffner says. When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's "a red flag that something more seriousmay be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, orforgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also besigns of something going wrong. But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can causeconfusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathingduring sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) likeantidepressants. You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to checkon medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the bestdefense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novelways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physicallyactive, because exercise is a known brain booster.Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips？ 1..Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips？()
A、Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.
B、They occur only among certain groups of people.
C、Not all of them are related to one's age.
D、They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.

第11题
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after 3 months of trains, the master had taught him only one move.“Master,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves？” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll need to know,” the master replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, strong, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward.
“No,” the master insisted, “Let him continue.”
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.
On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
“Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
“You won for two reasons,” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.

C. Either side can claim victory
D. The game ends in a tie
17. Why did the master insist on continuing the match？
A. Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage
B. Because the boy was confident of winning
C. Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill
D. Because all he cared about is winning the final
18. What caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final？
A. Over-confidence
B. Impatience
C. Inexperience
D. The time-out
19. Why did the master only teach the boy one move？
A. The boy could not do other moves with only one arm
B. It was the only move the master knew well
C. It was the move his opponents were not good at
D. His opponent would be helpless when he made this move

B. It is very important to have a good teacher
C. Even a disabled person can win in a judo match
D. To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move
