18．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．（71）B
These days，college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier．（72）FOn 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．（73）D
For many families，the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money，especially this year； the weak economy makes parents nervous．（74）GThe 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．
（75）AThe 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 finish 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．

分析 本文介紹了現(xiàn)在美國大學(xué)錄取情況．大學(xué)報(bào)名可以是網(wǎng)上報(bào)名或者普通的報(bào)名方式也行；一些大學(xué)采取給學(xué)生送禮物的方法來吸引生源；有的學(xué)校則采取拿出經(jīng)費(fèi)給學(xué)生作為補(bǔ)貼的方式來吸引生源．總之各個(gè)大學(xué)都采取的不同的方式盡量招收更多的生源．

解答 71-75 BFDGA
71：B． 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(xiàng)（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(shí)候都低．It 代指前面的情況．故選B．
72：F．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(xué)申請(qǐng)者正在申請(qǐng)更多的大學(xué)因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)上和普通的申請(qǐng)使這一過程更容易．空后一句的意思是：另一方面，決定頂尖大學(xué)的學(xué)生能接受有時(shí)會(huì)很難因?yàn)樾枰ê芏鄷r(shí)間．得知F項(xiàng)（這意味著有幾個(gè)申請(qǐng)可以從中選擇．）正確．故選F．
73：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(xué)寄送禮物．看接下來應(yīng)該是：但是頂尖的大學(xué)卻忽視這一切．所以D項(xiàng)正確．
74：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(jì)使家長(zhǎng)（經(jīng)濟(jì)）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(xué)的費(fèi)用．所以G項(xiàng)正確．
75：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(yù)測(cè)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(xué)正面臨著人數(shù)的變化．所以A 項(xiàng)正確．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五是一類完成性閱讀．在題型上與完型填空很類似．解題時(shí)，要在理解文章整體的情況下，充分考慮語境和空格前后的句子，注意句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系，尤其要學(xué)會(huì)把握信息詞（選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的與文章中相同或相近的詞），快速準(zhǔn)確的選出最符合文章原意的答案．

8．When we're talking to someone，writing to our parents，or making a phone call to our friends，our words carry the message．So people communicate with words．
Can we communicate without words？The answer is"Yes"．A smile on your face shows you're happy and friendly．Tears in your eyes tell others that you're sad．When you put up your hand in class，your teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions．You move your head up and down，and people know you're saying"Yes"．If you move your head from side to side，you mean"No"．
Other things can also carry messages．For example，a sign at the bus stop helps us to know which bus to take．A sign on the door tells us where to go in or out．There are a lot of signs around us and we receive messages all the time．
People can communicate in many other ways．An artist can use his drawings to tell about the blue sky，the green grass and many other things．Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world，and also about people and their ideas．
Books，TV，radio and films all help us communicate with others．They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about．
With the development of high tech，perhaps our communication ways will change a lot．

A．one is feeling sad
B．one is angry with you

9．Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important，of course．However，being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible，but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．
    The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK，for example，is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps，but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem，too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need．However，few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags，for example．
But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food．But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products，which often have far more packaging than necessary．
There are signs of hope．As more of us recycle，we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb．
31．What does the underlined phrase"over-consumption"refer to？C
A．Using too much packaging
B．Recycling too many wastes．
C．Having more material than is needed
D．Making more products than necessary．
32．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to showC．
A．the tendency of cutting household waste   
B．the increase of packaging recycling
C．the fact of packaging overuse            
D．the rapid growth of supermarkets   
33．According to the text，recyclingB．
A．means burning packaging for energy      
B．helps control the greenhouse effect   
C．is the solution to gas shortage             
D．leads to a waste of land
34．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？D
A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．
C．Other products are better packaged than food．
D．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
35．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．Needless material is mostly recycled．
B．Fighting wastefulness is difficult．
C．People like collecting recyclable wastes．
D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．

6．As we all know clothes are necessary and important for human beings．If someone is asked why he or she wears clothes，the answer will probably be"To keep warm and to cover my body"．These are the basic reasons clothes are worn，but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others．
    If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies，most clothing would be simple and cheap．In most Western countries，however，clothing is sometimes very expensive．The main reason for this is not the cost the fabric （布料） or the cost of making the clothes．The clothes are expensive because of fashion （時(shí)尚）．Successful businessmen，for example，often wear very expensive suits，shirts and ties．Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie．It's still just a suit and tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer．A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well．
 Fashion is constantly （不斷地） changing，which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months，even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice．Some people have wardrobes （衣柜） full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion．Being fashionable，therefore，can be a very expensive pastime!
46．Why do people wear clothes？D
A．Only to cover themselves
B．Just to make themselves attractive．
C．Just because of fashion
D．For a variety of reasons．
47．Successful businessmen buy very expensive suits because ofB．
A．the cost of the fabric

A．wear their clothes only once                  
B．buy new clothes regularly
C．wear last month's clothes                    
D．buy new clothes once or twice
49．From the last paragraph，we can knowA．
A．Being fashionable can be very expensive
B．In most western countries，clothing is sometimes expensive
C．It is too difficult for people to catch up with fashion
D．Many people can hardly wear what they have bought
50．What is the passage mainly about？D

13．（71）CIt is a new term in today's tourism industry．But in an age of growing environmental awareness，it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday．
Ecotourism，which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism，is typically defined（定義）as travel to places where special and unusual plants，animals and cultural heritages （遺產(chǎn)） are the main attractions．（72）BTherefore，programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form'a part of ecotourism．

（74）FHowever，it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological，cultural and historical resources （資源）．
Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing，natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists．People are attracted to nature  and long to be close to it．However，a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable．（75）G

A．The definition of ecotourism is beyond words．
B．It takes ecology and culture into consideration．
C．You may not be very familiar with"ecotourism"．
D．More than 80activities have been listed for ecotourism．
E．People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism．
F．Big cities are still the major places．that attract tourists in our society today．
G．How to protect natural resources while taking advantage of them is of great importance．

10．In 2009，a French company auctioned（拍賣）two treasures-a rat's head and a rabbit's head robbed from China，（61）which has caused great public concern in China．
（62）It is known to all that the two bronze animal heads were made during the Qing Dynasty（63）to decorate（decorate）Yuanmingyuan Imperial Garden．In 1860，it was the British and French troops （64）that broke into Beijing，burning down the royal garden．Millions of Chinese art works were taken away，（65）including （include）the rat's head and the rabbit's head．
The Chinese government was strongly against the auction and had repeatedly asked for the free return of the two （66）valuable （value）relics according to the international laws．Some Chinese people even （67）flew （fly）to France，trying to stop the selling．（68）However，the French company just wouldn't listen．
As far as I am concerned，the auction should be strongly condemned（譴責(zé)）．Not only has it hurt the feelings of the Chinese people but also it has done harm to the relationship between France and China．As middle school students，we must study （69）harder （hard） so that we can make our country more powerful in the future and stop any such thing （70）from happening again．
