However, this just isn't even close to true.There are scholarships out there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let's take a look at each type a bit more in depth.Academic ScholarshipsAcademic scholarships are also often referred to as merit scholarships, though a merit scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are for the students with the 4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (课外的) activities and the wellrounded applications.They typically have the highest payouts (巨款) and are considered very wellknown as they are often national awards.Athletic ScholarshipsFor students with strong academics and physical skills,athletic scholarships are the way to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football, gymnastics to cheerleading. So, if you excel in anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.Scholarships for MinoritiesThere are also many scholarships for minorities available.Some of these are general and for all minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (种族的) groups. It is also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity (种族渊源)You will get to represent your culture and possibly win money what more could you ask for?Scholarships for WomenAs with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women.Since colleges were dominated (支配) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for strong, careerminded women that need assistance paying for college expenses.If you are female, it is strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women.Moreover, scholarships for women are typically available in just about any field. Be specific!1In the author's opinion,_.Amost people are wellinformed about scholarshipsBmost people think scholarships should go to the smartest studentsCmost people have some misunderstanding about scholarshipsDmost people deserve scholarships though not having applied for them解析:细节理解题。根据文章首句可知,很多人对奖学金制度不甚了解,存在误解。答案:C2Tom does well in his lessons and is especially good at sports. The best scholarship he can apply for is _.AAcademic ScholarshipsBAthletic ScholarshipsCScholarships for MinoritiesDScholarships for Women解析:细节理解题。根据Athletic Scholarships局部的第一句话并结合Tom学习好、运动极棒的情况可知B项正确。答案:B3Alice is an Indian American. She prefers to study her own culture and something about ethnology (民族学). Then she'd better apply for _.AAcademic ScholarshipsBAthletic ScholarshipsCScholarships for MinoritiesDScholarships for Women解析:细节理解题。Alice属于少数民族,根据文中Scholarships for Minorities局部的内容可知她可申请“少数民族奖学金。答案:C4How many scholarships are intended for all the students?AOne. BTwo. CThree. DFour.解析:细节理解题。根据文章对四项奖学金的表达可知,除第一、第二项奖学金没有设定对象的先天条件外,第三项和第四项均有先天条件的限制民族或性别限制,故只有两项奖学金适合全体学生。答案:B.书面表达(·模拟)假设你班最近举行了一次班会,讨论怎样使英语学习变成一件快乐的事。请你根据下表所提示的信息,为某英语网站写一篇短文,谈谈你们的讨论情况并提出你的建议。讨论情况2.课外活动:演讲或晚会等3.日常运用英语:口头或书面交流你的建议根据自己经历与感想,提出两至三点建议注意:1.含所有要点,可适当发挥,勿简单翻译;2词数:120左右。开头已经写好,不计入总词数。Recently we had a discussion on how to make learning English relaxing and fun. _参考范文:Recently we had a discussion on how to make learning English relaxing and fun. Most students believe that there are many ways to do so. First of all, we can have more interactive activities in class, such as discussions, interviews, storytelling and roleplay. In this way, we can have more fun learning English. Secondly, we can take part in more outofclass activities like English speech contests and English evenings. Through these activities we can improve our English skills in an easy and relaxing way. Thirdly, we need to find more opportunities to communicate in English with people, whether they are English teachers or classmates, foreigners or Chinese, because using English is the best way to learn.These ideas sound reasonable and practical. From my experience, there are many other interesting and relaxing ways. For example, we can listen to English songs and watch English movies. We can also watch English programs on TV or join English clubs or make English penfriends on the Internet. All in all, what we need is more free time and more space.
