Passage 1

College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.

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!

8. One thing that he liked was ________.

Passage 2

Believe it or not, optical illusion (视觉错觉)can cut highway crashes. 

Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. 

Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. 

Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest ― curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. 

Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. 

Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents. 

11. The passage mainly discusses __________. 

A. a new way of highway speed control 

B. a new pattern for painting highways 

C. a new approach to training drivers 

D. a new type of optical illusion 

答案：

解析：第1-2段表明此意。

12. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________. 

A. they should avoid speed-related hazards 

B. they are driving in the wrong lane 

C. they should slow down their speed 

D. they are approaching the speed limit 

答案：

解析：第二段表明此意。

13. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ___________.

A. can keep drivers awake 

B. can cut road accidents in half 

C. will have a longer effect on drivers

D. will look more attractive 

答案：

解析：最后一段表明此意。

14. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________. 

A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas 

B. change the road signs across the country 

C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons 

D. repeat the Japanese road patterns 

答案：

解析：第二段第一句话表明此意。

15. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? 

A. They are falling out of use in the United States 

B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time. 

C. They are applicable only on broad roads. 

D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.

答案：

解析：倒数第二段表明此意。 

Passage 3

A 10-year old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

  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.

16. Judging from the context, what happens when a referee calls a “time-out” (Line2, Para 7)?

A. The time for the game has run out.

  B. The game stops for a short time.

  C. Either side can claim victory.

  D. The game ends in a tie.

答案：

解析：比赛用语表示“暂停”。

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.

答案：

解析：从本文可以推测出来。

18. What caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final?

  A. Over-confidence.          B. Impatience.

  C. Inexperience.             D. The time-out.

答案：

解析：从文章中可以推测出来。

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.

答案：

解析：文章交代很清楚，男孩只有一只胳膊。

20. What does the story show?

  A. One can turn his weakness into an advantage.

  B. It is very important to have a good teacher.

  C. Even a disabled person can win in a judo match.
