In the United States, its the season of swimming pools, barbeques (户外烤肉), camping and road trips. Road trip vacations where the car Journey is part of the fun are especially with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money. "Ever since I went to college, Ive been traveling around a lot, exploring the country." said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore." Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio Who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you dont have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive." Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels (洗车旅馆) started, apppearing outside cities. By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate (州) highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up (突然出现) everywhere making long distance trips easier. Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no ear, according to the most recent US census. Though many college students dont own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins trips, they used a borrowed van. Hawkins most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane (风暴) Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots. Roberts road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop (笔记本电脑) and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage. "I know we should have planned better, but were young. Now, when I see those guys I always say, Remember when we were lost in the snow storm! Ill never forget that."Who are road trip vacations especially popular with ATeachers who have plenty of free time but little moneyBCollege students who like to travel on wheelsCVolunteers who want to help rebuild New OrleansDAmericans who have no cars 2.下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。My Life at Renda I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant(TA)at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University. (46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examined my big nose, while was writing my name on the blackboard. At Iowa, when my first classes began, half of my students still hadnt arrived. When veryone finally found a seat, ringing cell phones and loud yawns(哈欠)interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. (47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I Couldnt fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universitiesespecially freshmen and sophomoresoften have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. (48) Most have good intentions, but very few are as effective as professors. Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learningno matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project dealing with these is all part of the job. (49) The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. (50) I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectlyas a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students. A. Back at Renda, l had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity. B. In my students minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam. C. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader. D. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US. E. On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad. F. Most were polite, or at least, indifferent. 3.B第三篇/BBTightened Visa Regulations/B According to South Koreas new visa regulations, native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts (成绩单) and have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Times has reported. The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers. The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing (居住) outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their oneyear contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August . of this year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged (伪适的) degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking. But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Koreas English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits (书面陈述书) for documents. "South Korea has put up too many hoops (圈) to jump through," he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Koreawill be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. "I dont think (South) Korea has thought this through," said Scott Mclnnls, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community. As part of the efforts to ease the discontent (不满), the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant ATo undergo a medical testBTo pass a Korean language testCTo provide sealed school reportsDTo undergo a drug test 4.请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。B Improve Computer-research Skills/B Like many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the internet and text-message his friends. Hes part of "Generation M"those born after 1985 whoU (51) /Uup connected to everything from video games to cellphones. "For us, its everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshmanU (52) /U California State University at Sacramento (CSUS). U (53) /U ,educators are now saying that not all Generation Mers can synthesize the piles of in formation theyre accessing. "Theyre geeky (与网格交往的),but they dont know what toU (54) /Uwith their geekdom," said Barbara OConnor, a communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwideU (55) /U to improve students computer-research skills. In a recent nationwide test toU (56) /U their technological "literacy"their ability to use the Internet to complete class assignmentsonly 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, authority and timeliness. Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly U (57) /U Internet search. About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, U (58) /U to 6,300 college students across the country. The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is aweb-based scavenger (食肉动物) hunt U (59) /U simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information. "Theyre very good at U (60) /U in and using the Internet, but dont always understand what they get back," said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library. "You see an open search box, you type in a few words and you U (61) /U the button," said Golf, who is involved in the testing. "They take at face value U (62) /U shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff." Educators say that these sloppy (马虎) research skills are troubling. "We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we U (63) /U math and English as a foundational skill," said Lode Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic programmes in the CSU system. Measuring how well students can "sort the good U (64) /U the bad" on the Internet has become a higher pdodty for CSU, Roth said. CSU is considering U (65) /U a mandatory (强制性的) assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.
