May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States. This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall. But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever. 【小題1】       
    These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier. 【小題2】         On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts. 【小題3】       .
    For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is to show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous. 【小題4】       . The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.
     【小題5】        . The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finishes high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.
    A．Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.
    B．What contributes to it?
    C．But a mistake can be costly if it happens.
    D．But top colleges ignore them.
    E. They have international students who know English.
    F. It can mean several acceptances to choose from.
    G. They cannot afford college as planned.

    解析試題分析：本文介紹了現(xiàn)在美國大學錄取情況。大學報名可以是網(wǎng)上報名或者普通的報名方式也行；一些大學采取給學生送禮物的方法來吸引生源；有的學校則采取拿出經(jīng)費給學生作為補貼的方式來吸引生源�？傊鱾�大學都采取的不同的方式盡量招收更多的生源。
    【小題1】考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.得知B項（是什么造成了這種情況？）正確，頂尖院校的錄取率今年比以往任何時候都低。It 代指前面的情況。故選B。
    【小題2】考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier. 目前，大學申請者正在申請更多的大學因為網(wǎng)上和普通的申請使這一過程更容易�？蘸笠痪涞囊馑际牵毫硪环矫�，決定頂尖大學的學生能接受有時會很難因為需要花很多時間。得知F項（這意味著有幾個申請可以從中選擇。）正確。故選F。
    【小題3】D 考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看Some universities send gifts.一些大學寄送禮物。看接下來應該是：但是頂尖的大學卻忽視這一切。所以D項正確。
    【小題4】G 考查的是上下文的語境理解能力。從空前面看the weak economy makes parents nervous.虛弱的經(jīng)濟使家長（經(jīng)濟）很緊張。由此判斷此處需要的句意是：他們不能如期支付大學的費用。所以G項正確。
    【小題5】A 考查的是上下文的語境理解能力及主題句的概括能力。空后的The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. 意為：教育部預測高中生的數(shù)量開始下降。由此判斷此處需要的句意是：而且頂尖的大學正面臨著人數(shù)的變化。所以A 項正確。
    考點：信息匹配。

    下面文章中有5處 (第61～65) 需要添加小標題。請從（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題，并在答題紙上將相應選項的標號涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。
    A. Explore All Your Talents
    B. Be Ready for the Up-coming Competition 
    C. Set a Down-to-Earth Goal
    D. Prepare Yourself Emotionally
    E. Look for a competitive college
    F. Consider Talent Search Programs in Junior High
    Many aspects of college planning are the same for most college-bound students. However, if you’re in any academically gifted and talented program, you have additional things to think about. Here are some actions you should consider.
    【小題1】.______
    Talent search programs provide educational opportunities for seventh-and eighth-graders who are mathematically or verbally talented. Some of these programs use SAT scores to identify academically gifted students. Although most students take the SAT in junior or senior year of high school, gifted and talented student often take it earlier.
    【小題2】 ______ 
    Many gifted students have the potential to succeed in multiple academic areas. Don't miss opportunities by focusing too early on one that you excel in; carefully examine all your strengths and interests. Discover what you really like to study and the topics you may want to pursue in college. Pursue your interest and passion for learning to the fullest extent possible while you’re still in high school.
    【小題3】______ 
    Gifted students often feel that they have to be accepted by very competitive colleges to be considered successful. And while a competitive college may be the right place for you, don’t let selectivity be the only factor. The most important aspect of college planning is finding a college that’s a good fit.
    【小題4】______
    Many gifted students are used to being at the top of their junior high and high school classes. Be prepared to meet other gifted students in college — students who do just as well as you, or better, in the classroom. It can be unsettling. Handle it by staying focused on your own studies and skills and aiming to do your personal best.
    【小題5】______
    Although your academic qualifications and abilities may exceed those of your high school classmates, your age is the same as theirs. High school is a time for adolescence, while college requires emotional maturity. A 15-year-old high school graduate may not be prepared to live on a campus 1,000 miles from home with other students who are 18 and older. Think about what you are ready for emotionally, as well as academically, when you’re narrowing down your college list.

    Allen: I can’t decide whether to go to university or to get a job.
    Dick:   【小題1】 
    Allen: But I don’t know what to study.
    Dick:  If I had a chance again, I would major in English.   【小題2】 
    Allen: That’s what my parents want me to do.
    Dick:   【小題3】  They know what’s the best for you.
    Allen: But my friends will have their jobs and lots of fun while I spend all
    my time reading and writing.

    I always reflect on what happened in my life. I think this is important—to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc.       【小題1】      Here are some tips for you on reflection.
    1. Focus on the process and not the outcome.
    This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because
    we focus our energies on the outcome rather than the- process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but on the process.
    2. Failure is a lead not a stop sign.
    When you hit a wall and things don’t turn up the way they are intended, no one is saying to you, “This is where you stop because you failed”. If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, “       【小題2】      Try another method.”
    3. Happiness is not the destination but the journey.
    We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don’t have. This is not quite right.       【小題3】      It’s about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.
    4. Wisdom comes from the balance between your knowledge and your heart.
    Let your heart talk more; it’s wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be.       【小題4】     Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge with your heart.
    5. Gratitude is the energy-drink of the soul.
    Say thank you to the universe every morning. Appreciation can lift your soul from anxiety which weighs you down. Try it out.       【小題5】      It will help you appreciate life with more depth and perspective.
    A．Failure is the mother of success. 
    B．Happiness is when we accept and enjoy everything as it is. 
    C．This method and the intended result do not match. 
    D．Be thankful to at least one thing in your day. 
    E. Not reflecting on our lives and experiences is a wasted chance for growth.
    F. Happiness means achieving your goals and getting what you want.
    G. But if your mind doesn’t go with your heart, you are losing energy in internal conflicts.

    The Dark Age of Greece
    【小題1】Among early civilizations, we call the low points "dark ages", because civilizations often dropped to such a low level that it is hard to get an accurate picture of their history during these periods. During a dark age, a civilization may not have produced monuments, statue, or other objects which we use to learn about early civilizations.
    One' of the most important dark ages was the dark age of Greece,which lasted from about 1100 BC to 900 BC. Prior to-that-time,Greece had a highly advanced society called the Mycenaean civilization. The Mycenaeans were a trading civilization【小題2】In fact, the Mycenaean civilization was so important that when it collapsed in the 12th centuryBC,most other civilizations in the region collapsed as well.The next 200 years are like a blank page to  historians and we know very little about this period.【小題3】The collapse of the Mycenaeans brought an end to writing in the area, and thus an end to the written records historians rely on.
    The little that we know about this period has been learned from archaeology. It seems that civilization became much less advanced. The pottery from this period is much simpler and less artistic. This suggests that there was lack of wealthy people to buy higher quality products. 【小題4】   This would suggest a large decrease in population, possibly due to a widespread lack of food and consequent starvation.
    Sometime around 800 BC, the Greeks began to emerge from this dark age, most probably due to the influence of other civilizations. They had lost their early writing system, but began to use the writing system of the Phoenicians at this time.【小題5】Over the next 300 years, their civilization continued to rise, and their dark age was forgotten.
    A．Many civilizations undergo a series of high points and low points during their history. 
    B．Many early civilizations underwent dark ages, but Greece never recovered from its dark age. 
    C．They began constructing larger cities and trading with their neighbors again.
    D．Another interesting point is that most of the large cities of earlier time periods appear to have been abandoned in favor of much smaller settlements.
    E.Many pieces of evidence suggest that there was a huge increase in population during the dark age of Greece.
    F.and they did much to spread their culture across the eastern Mediterranean.
    G.One major reason for this is that writing basically stopped.

    下面文章中有5處需要添加小標題，請從以下選項中選出符合各段意思的小標題，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑,選項中一項為多余選項。
    A.Option of home schooling is around for a long time
    B.Recent years’ growth of home schooling
    C.The unpleasant situation of school education
    D.Advantages in home schooling
    E.Parents should be responsible for child’s education
    F.Home schooling is not a perfect choice
    【小題1】Home schooling is an option that is becoming more attractive to parents as time goes on. Schools have become increasingly unstable over the past couple of decades. The textbooks are outdated, violence is common, children are shot without mercy, and the quality of education on the whole has greatly diminished. 
    【小題2】The option of home schooling has been around for a long time; however, until recently it had not been so popular. The idea of home schooling seems like a cure-all to many parents due to the advantages this type of education provides over traditional schools.
    【小題3】Children who are home schooled can avoid many of the problems schools have become known for. For one, the environment is less threatening. Children can learn without fearing other students. In addition, home schooling allows parents to dictate the academic course of their children. Home schooling also allows students to proceed at their own speed. If a child is weak at multiplication and division, a parent can focus lessons on those skills in favor of another skill that the child might understand rather easily.
    【小題4】It may sound like the perfect option, but there are many disadvantages of home schooling. First of all, home schooled children are usually less socialized. While schools can sometimes be the breeding ground for poor social behaviors, school is also a place where students learn to interact with others and build social skills. In addition, another drawback to home schooling could be implementation of an educational plan. Many parents are not qualified as teachers and may not understand what is necessary to ensure a child has access to the proper curriculum.
    【小題5】Finally, another disadvantage to home schooling is the necessity for parents to take full responsibility for their child’s education. If you choose to home school your child, there is no one for you to blame if your child does poorly. The responsibility falls completely on the parent.

    Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns—and, therefore, temporary results. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are five ways to make that happen.
    Take exercise.  【小題1】  . Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all help you look and feel good and keep weight off.
      【小題2】  One reason people get less exercise these days is that they spend too much time watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.
    Watch out for unhealthy drinks. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.  【小題3】   
    Eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.  【小題4】   And when you fill up on friuts and vegetables, you’re less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.
     【小題5】  People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.
    A．Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles. 
    B．So go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda. 
    C．They’ve also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. 
    D．Don’t skip breakfast. 
    E. Share your breakfast with others.
    F. It is bad for your eyes to spend too much time watching TV. 
    G. Reduce screen time.

    When Joe left university, he got a good job in a bike’s factory. And after he had worked there for some years, he decided to have a change. So he put a notice several newspapers, says what experience he had and the kind of job he would like to have. One of the answer he received was from a man who was looking for a job either. This man wrote to him, “Dear sir, when you get a new job, to be kind enough to give your name and address to your present boss as I have been trying to find a position like yours for a long time.” After he had finished reading the letter, he suddenly realizes what he had done was real foolish.

    Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted 
    Some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then for all these year we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!
