We talked about the times when we were 36 up and how Mom and Dad used to play the good cop, bad cop thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 37 . He raised us more by 38 than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 39 meaning that I never got, but Liz always 40 to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I 41 I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 42 . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy _43_in life, Who knows, you might end up having to run a 44 or even own one when you grow up, said Dad. He 45 me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didnt agree with it.A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 46 days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 47 were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 48 out. I couldnt stand the 49 any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 50 . The owner saw what I did and called me over around 51 time. He said that he was very 52 . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was 53 I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.Ive never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or 54 it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just dont know it. Experience is everything and it 55 a lot when you take lessons from it. Thats my lifes philosophy.36. A. gettingB. goingC. growingD. coming37. A. schoolboysB. kidsC. adultsD. graduates38.

Do some shopping in Lansdowne Park Shopping CenterC. Go to Garden RestaurantD. B and CB A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a big problem.Information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different. Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so in the end we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.60. What does the passage want to tell us?A. Foreign students have more problems.B. There are many ways to improve English.C. Teaching should meet students needs.D. English learning problems should be studied again.61. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students _.A. had to write their papersB. became better at speakingC. became less interested in readingD. had fewer problems with listening62. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that_.A. different teaching methods should be used来源:Zxxk.ComB. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC. English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD. teaching content should be changed halfwayCBeginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily defeated by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find useful about life on campus:·Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but dont forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.·If you dont have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer data book), get one. Most of all, dont depend on your memory.·Dont miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your students handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / cant you do in your student residence（住处）? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?·Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.·Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.(From 63What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo offer advice on college life.BTo explain why college life is exciting.CTo describe the importance of college life.DTo persuade you to go to college.64According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?ABecause you will have more freedom at college.BBecause you will no longer be afraid of the beyondCBecause you prepare for your future career and life there.DBecause professors there will provide you with many new ideas.65The underlined word “know-how” refers to _.AAn understanding of how things are going at collegeBPractical knowledge about how to learn well at collegeCCollege halls where rules and regulations are presentedDAn environment completely different from the one youre used to66According to the passage, college students _.Aneednt learn from those who went to college be
