On campus there're many clubs and organizations open to all students,such as Painting Club,Callligraphy Club and English Club,etc.Some people believe that taking part in these clubs can enrich their college life,improve their social skills,help them get experience and prepare for the future job hunting.However,other people maintain that it may be in conflict with their studies.

As for me,I think taking part in some clubs really do good to our growth.These activities provide us with pleasure and entertainment,which makes our college life more colorful.It also give us opportunities to improve and demostrate our abilities.What's more,it give us more opportunitis to meet students from different departments.When taking part in clubs,students should bear in mind that regardless of how good and interesting these activities are,their primary task is to get academic knowledge.Only in this way can students choose the right club and avoid the constant conflict with their regular study time. my college life You may feel that college life is boring. We do not know how to deal with the plenty of spare time. But I think the college life will become wonderful as long as you make it meaningful.

In your spare time, you could play basketball, football and so on. Doing sports is very interesting and good for your health.

In fact, you can do anything which you are interested in.Do not be nervous.We are friends. Studying in college is a brand new start of our life.You can continue to study hard for the better scords. Libary is a good place for students to study in. If you want to show your talents and skills you can join in all kinds of activities.

In a word,college life is wonderful!

Passage 3

Everybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.

The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.

Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.

Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.

Passage 1

Hotlines （热线）have become common in China. Some radio stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.

That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.

Some people know little about the topic（话题）under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人)is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知).Then the host has to answer and explain —how silly this is ! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don't care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.

I'm totally bored by those people. It's necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programs. In my opinion, if a caller doesn't know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.

41. We know from the sentence “Some people do nothing but break the whole program" that____.

A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact

C. it is a good idea D. some people have unclear thoughts

42. The host has to answer and explain, ____ .

A. for the host works hard

C. for the host likes talking to the caller

D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

43. The passage doesn't tell us the idea ________ .

A. that some listeners phone the hotlines in fun

B. that some people just want to be heard by others

C. that some people who don't care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be silly

D. what the hotline programs are

44. Which of the following is not true?

A. Some people know little about the topic under discussion.

B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about

C. Some people do not know what the show is about

D. The writer tells us that the host is silly.

45. What should the operator do if a caller doesn't know what is going on in the writer’s opinion?

A. not to let the caller call the program B. not let the caller take part in the program

C. let the caller express his idea D. feel bored by the caller B. because of the caller's ignorance

Passage 2

Stage plays（舞台剧）, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience（观众） cold. And even worse you’ll be wasting a powerful tool --- the camera.

A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed(挪开) so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.

The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.

46. The main idea of the text is that ____ .

A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of art

B. it is always disappointing to turn play into films

C. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage plays

D. the camera has made film making easy and possible

47. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage ? ____

A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.

B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.

C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.

D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.

48. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool ? ____

A. It can move easily. B. It can make small things look larger.

C. It can show things in the future. D. It can give us a scene of realism（真实）. A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.

B. Films can show the past while plays can’t.

C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.

D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.

50. A suitable title for this text is ____.

A. Stage Plays and Film B. The Powerful Camera

C. Fewer Plays, More Films D. Less Waste, More Freedom

Passage 3

The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man courageous, manly and wise.

A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s（古埃及王后）nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world! Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy（嫉妒）and revenge（报复）. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expressed a basic human feeling ---pride. People can hold up their hoses at people, things and places. The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him.

On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct（本能）guide him. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose in more than an organ for breathing and smelling.

51. The passage is about ______.

A. an organ, with which people can breathe and smell

Passage 1

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young men are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and in reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the college of William and Mary in the Virginian Capital of Williamburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasted sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

44. According to the writher, ____.

A. Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen

A. was rather limited for a president

As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating a good meal alone, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion(消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, prepare for your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed(装满). Take a folding(折叠)case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy(极其方便)for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

Passage 2

Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends' houses. Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.

Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan. To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!

Passage 3

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do； he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.

When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

51. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.

19

A. life for a child is comparatively easy B. a child is always loved whatever he does

C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are interested in life 52. After a child grows up, he ________. A. will have little time playing
