With today9s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you' re qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are apply ing to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won't have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high school advisor or the admissions department at your school（s） of interest.21. The passage is mainly written toA. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application feesWhat does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.22. Some schools offer free online application to,A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application informationBIt's an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year - we just won't go. Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YbuGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What's less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession 一 financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characta'ised by intense verbal （言语上的）aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry. Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women. "People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's fog" he explains. "They'll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them." He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something. "The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁 忌)about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”What does the author say about vacationing?A People enjoy it all the more during a recession.B.Few people can afford it without working hard.C. It is the chief cause of family disputes.D. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.23. What does the author mean by saying “money is known . to bring a relationship to its knees” (Lines 1-2, Para. 2)?A. Money is considered to be the root of all evils.B. Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.C. Few people can resist the temptation of money.D. Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.24. Hie YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession.A. couples show more concern for each otherB. it is more expensive for couples to split upC. conflicts between couples tend to riseD. divorce and separation rates increaseCEven then my only friends were made of paperand ink. At school! had learned to read and writelong before the other children. Where my schoolfriends saw notches of ink on incomprehensiblepages, I saw light, streets, and people. Words and themystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and Is aw in them a key with which I could unlock aboundless world, a safe haven from that home, thosestreets, and those troubled days in which even Icould sense that only a limited fortune awaited me.My father didn't like to see books in the house.There was something about themapart from theletters he could not decipherthat offended him.He used to tell me that as soon as I was ten he wouldsend me off to work and that I'd better get rid of allmy scatterbrained ideas if I didn't want to end up aloser, a nobody. I used to hide my books under themattress and wait for him to go out or fall asleep sothat 1 could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage. He tore the book from myhands and flung it out of the window. "If I catch you wasting electricity again, readingall this nonsense, you,ll be sorry."My father was not a miser and, despite thehardships we suffered, whenever he could he gave mea few coins so that I could buy myself some treats likethe other children. He was convinced that I spentthem on licorice sticks, sunflower seeds, or sweets,but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed,and when I'd collected four or five reales I'd secretly rush out to buy myself a book. My favorite place in the whole city was theSempere & Sons bookshop on Calle Santa Ana. Itsmelled of old paper and dust and it was mysanctuary my refuge. The bookseller would let me siton a chair in a corner and read any book I liked tomy heart's content. He hardly ever allowed me to payfor the books he placed in my hands, but when hew as looking I'd leave the coins Fd managed tocollect on the counter before I left. It was only smallchangeif I'd had to buy a book with that pittance, Iwould probably have been able to afford only abooklet of cigarette papers. When it was time for meto leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight onmy soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever. One Christmas Sempere gave me the best gift Ihave ever received. It was an old volume, read andexperienced to the full.“ Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens/9 I readon the cover.I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors whofrequented his establishment and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thoughtperhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them. u A friend of yours? u A lifelong friend. And from now on, he's your friend too.59 That afternoon I took my new friend home,hidden under my clothes so that my father wouldnsee it. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead,and I read Great Expectations about nine times,partly because I had no other book at hand, partlybecause I did not think there could be a better one inthe whole world and I was beginning to suspect thatMr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I wasconvinced that I didn't want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.27.0verthe course of the passage, the main focusshiftsfromageneral discussion of the narrator 9s love ofreading to a portrayal of an influential incident.A. depiction of the narrator 9s father to anexamination of an author with whom thenarrator becomes enchanted.B. symbolic representation of a skill the narratorpossesses to an example of its application.C. tale about the hardships of the narrator childhood to an analysis of the effects of thosehardships.28.
