A common misconception (誤解) -about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest students with the highest GPAs. 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 Scholarships

Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit (優(yōu)點(diǎn)) scholarships, though a merit scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are fox; the students with the 4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (課外的) activities and the well- rounded applications. They typically have the highest payouts and are considered very well- known as they are often national awards.

Athletic Scholarships

For students with strong academics (學(xué)業(yè)的) 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 are good at anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.

Scholarships for Minorities

There 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 (種族的) groups. It is also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity. You will get to represent your culture and possibly win money -- what more could you ask for?

Scholarships for Women

As with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women. Since colleges were dominated (主宰) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for strong, career-minded 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!

1.In the author's opinion, ______.

A．most people are well - informed about scholarships

B．most people think scholarships should go to the smartest students

C．most people have some misunderstanding about scholarships

D．most people deserve scholarships though not having applied for them

2.Tom does well in his lessons and is especially good at sports. The best scholarship he can apply for ______.

A．Academic Scholarships

A．Academic Scholarships

B．Athletic Scholarships

C．Scholarships for Minorities

D．Scholarships for Women

4. How many scholarships are intended for all ethnic students?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

 

【答案】

1.C

2.B

3.C

4.B

【解析】文章介紹了幾種獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的信息。

1.C 推理題。根據(jù)第一段1,2行A common misconception (誤解) -about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn't even close to true.說明大部分人對(duì)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金都存在誤解，認(rèn)為獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金就是給優(yōu)秀生的。故C正確。

2.B 推理題。根據(jù)For students with strong academics (學(xué)業(yè)的) and physical skills說明在體育方面有突出表現(xiàn)的學(xué)生也可以申請(qǐng)到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。故B正確。

3.C 推理題。根據(jù)Scholarships for Minorities部分內(nèi)容知道少數(shù)名族的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)民族學(xué)也有可能獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，故an Indian –American的Alice也有可能獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。

4.B 推理題。少數(shù)名族的學(xué)生可以申請(qǐng)正常的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金還可以申請(qǐng)Scholarships for Minorities

故B正確。

Dear all,

Please read Professor Hume’s email about his next lecture on Rosa I’arks.

Susan Miller

Secretary

Dear Susan,

Please forward this message to students of my history class.

Besides the life story of Bosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

Ted Hume

The early experiences of Rosa Parks (1913-2005),long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time.The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.“By sitting down,”remarked John Lewis,“she was standing up for all Americans.”

Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

Parks died on Oct. 24,2005,At St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life.Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention,might not have realized her impact(影響) on their lives,“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”

After her casket(靈柩) was placed at the Capitol,U.S. President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects.In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?

A.To make arrangements for Professor Hume’s class.

B.To introduce to the students Rosa Parks.

    閱讀下面短文，然后從下列各題所給的A、 B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   36  !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38   for years—often from   39   childhood. These stories may have no   40   in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作機(jī)械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41   my development? I was never   42   to work on cars or be around    43  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,   44  , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   45    down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   46   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   47   and told him about my   48   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49   is it that you can solve    50   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   54   , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   55   we choose.

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father.
