To save time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You wont have to locate or afford a place to park either.

Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!”“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you,” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit backjust as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can't” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.56The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _A. courage B. assistance C. instruction D. challenge57. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A. To frighten them.B. To satisfy their curiosity.C. To warn them of the danger of the place.D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.58.

Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Dennis's shadow. B. He was scared by a plant. C. His friends played a joke on him. D. The weather became extremely cold.60. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all. B. No sweat, no sweet.C. It is no use crying over spilt milk. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.【要点综述】 本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis's Swamp名字的由来。56. D考查词义猜测。由语境可知,他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。57. B考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知,Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人,但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了,可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们,而是为了满足他们的好奇心。58. D考查细节理解。由第八段“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!”可知他想有更多的土地,种更多的庄稼,变得更富有,还认为老人在嫉妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。59. B考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。60. A考查推理判断。综观全文可知贪婪的Dennis因为其贪婪,结果失去了一切,故A项“贪多必失”,符合语境。C22013·辽宁卷 China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide, so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.56According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.57The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _Ato ride it for funBto use it for transportCto experience local cultureDto improve his riding skills58How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring.BIt was difficult.CIt was lively.DIt was wonderful.59Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?AThe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.BThe author was annoyed by the air while riding.CThe author was praised by the other bikers.DThe author took great pleasure in biking.【要点综述】 本文是记叙文,主要讲作者来到中国,为了体验当地文化,买了一辆自行车在大街上骑自行车的快乐经历。56B细节理解题。根据“对许多人来说,这是今天最简单、最便宜的出行方式”可推断,流行的原因是自行车不贵而且方便,所以选B。57C推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“渴望成为中国文化的一部分,我决定买一辆自行车”可推断,作者是想体验中国当地文化。58B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“过马路是最大的问题”,再加上下文的描述可知,对他来说,过马路是很困难的。59D推理判断题。最后一段中描述“在自行车上这种感觉是令人惊讶的,微风吹过我的脸和头发,这种感觉是美妙的”说明作者在骑自行车的过程中是快乐的。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)- A new hotel concept has been realized in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October.
