第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余

选项。

   1  

    The  most important 1essons I learned at college weren’t the ones my professors taught me．Instead，1 learned unpleasant truths about things like money，socializing，and self—sufficiency(自给自足)——usually the hard way．If I could go back and give advice to my

freshman self，this is what I’d say．

    *Take the opportunity for a semester abroad．

    If your college has a program to study for a semester or a year in another county, take

advantage of it．Yes，it will probably cost a little more，but you may never again have a chance to travel abroad for an extended period． 2  There’S no better way to do that than to become completely involved in a new culture．

    *  3 

    This isn't high school anymore，So there’s no need tO join every club under the sun to try to impress somebody．Figure out what you’re interested in and then pursue it．Colleges have radio stations，political advocacy organizations，writers’groups，and so much more．They’re a great way to meet people with similar interests，as well as to broaden your horizons． 4 

    *Get a job，especially during the summer vacation．

    5  It doesn’t work that way．Particularly in this economic climate，getting a job is 1ess about what yod know，and more about who you know．The best way to meet the people who may one day hire you is to get a job while in school，maybe in summers．You can get in the door at a company you may truly want to work for after graduation，get some valuable work experience，and even get the course credit．  It’s a winning situation all around．

  A．Apply for scholarships and grants(津贴)．

  B．What 1 wish I’d known about college．

  C．Get involved with student organizations．

  D．If your college lacks the group you’d like to join，go ahead and start it yourself．

  E．Some college graduates expect to have their choice of job offers immediately after they graduate．   

  F．If you’re interested in your major，you won’t have much trouble earning good grades in those courses．

  G．College should be more than learning about facts and figures——it should be a chance to educate yourself about the world you live in．

 

 

   A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’S people may not have enough  water by the year 2025．

    A private American organization called Population Action International did the new  study．It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now．The people live in 28  countries．Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East．

    P—A—I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025，about 3，000 million people may lack water．At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems．The

demand for water keeps increasing．Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same．

   Mr．Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than ini other parts of the world．He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase．

 The  report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems．It may increase health problems．Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe．Mr．Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases，such as cholera。

which are carried in water．Lack of water may also result in more international conflict．Countries may have to compete for water in the future．Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries．This is true of Egypt，the Netherlands，Cambodia，Syria，Sudan，and Iraq．And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies．This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning．

   The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem．One way，it says，is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose．Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water．A third way is to use less water of agriculture．

  The report also says long--term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth．It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have．

    D．It may influence the development of the economies．

3．Which of the following is the way to solve water problem in the long run?

    A．To use water in a variety of ways

    B．To become aware of the water problem

    Single--handed(独自的)

    Zhou Yang，18，China

    Against three strong Republic of Korea competitors，Zhou single—handed took the l，500一meter short speed skating gold to become China’s youngest winter Olympics gold medalisi．According to Coach Li Yan，Zhou，who is usually a gentle girl，took some risks and skated fiercely to take the gold．This is the third gold the Chinese have won at the Vancouver Olympics．

    Unobtrusive(不显眼的)

    Liu Xiang，26，China   

The Olympic gold medalist said on Friday that he’s not the same old him，after setting his worst record in years——8．08 seconds for 60一meter hurdles．Liu said he still had some way to go before he’s back to his best．Many fans have been expecting his taking--off in the 2010 Doha，but Liu said unobtrusively“Robles is still the best in the 60一meter and 1l0—meter hurdles．

I’m no match now”．He added the performances of Terrence Trammell(US)and Robles would be the highlight of the Doha meet．

  Coveted(令人垂涎的)

  Michael Jackson，1958—2009，US

  Thanks to a whopping(庞大的) $350，000 bid，Michael Jackson’s rhinestone—encrusted(镶满人造钻石的) glove has gone to a Macao company．Jackson wore the sparking glove when he did his first“moonwalk” dance in 1983，so it was a really coveted piece of equipment．The pre—auction estimate put its value at $40，000～60，000，but that wasn’t even close . The glove and nine other items from the auction will be on display in a Macao hotel.

1．From the first news we can learn that Zhou Yang __________

  D．the pre—auction estimate is probably correct

4．Where can we probably learn the passage?

    A．Broadcast    B.  Announcement    C．Advertisement   D．Newspaper

 

 

    One of the most unknown youth culture in the United States is that of high school and college runners．Not everyone who has ever been on their school’s track team is part of this culture．To be a part of this culture you need to do a lot Of running，knowing how it feels to race to exhaustion(筋疲力尽)，see no reason why any weather should keep you from running，and be a little crazy．

    I，myseIf，am part of this culture．I ran cross-country，which is running outside over uneven ground，for my high schoo1．I joined this culture when 1 was in ninth grade. As soon  as 1 was on the team it didn’t take very long for me to become very involved and have fun running. As a freshman 1 wasn’t that fast but 1 was giving the effort．It was the effort that makes me part of the running culture．

    There are a few things that set the youth culture of runners apart from the overall  running culture．One of the many differences is that teen runners usually run in large groups，with a lot of conversation and fooling around．Young runners play games and talk to their friends when they run．While adults may run with a friend and have a conversation，you will rarely see twenty of them running through the woods yelling back and forth at each other．Young runners also make up a lot of games．My friends and 1 would throw balls while running and invented a game we called Shockey，which was pretty much soccer on lce.

Most of youth runners run for competition and not for fitness．Young runners want to run in races not to just lose weight like many adults．This means they run a lot faster and tougher generally．To lose weight you can just jog easily but to race you have to really push yourself and run to exhaustion．It’s a completely different style of running and that is what builds this culture .

1．The passage is mainly about __________.

  A．the differerices between youth culture and adult culture

  B．the youth running culture in American schools

  C．youth culture which is mysterious to school students

  D．how to become part of the culture of school runners

2．Which of the following are the differences between young runners and adult runners?

  (1)Adults don’t run long distance．

  (2)Adults don’t play games while running．

  (3)Adults don’t push themselves to the 1imit

  (4)Adults don’t run in 1arge groups．

    A．(1)(2)(3)    B．(1)(2)(4)    C．(2)(3)(4)  D. (1) (3) (4)

3．We can infer from the passage that__________．

  A．the writer is strong--willed

  B．running is exhausting and boring

  C．adult running is not as good as youth running

  D．adults are not as competitive as youths

4．The writer wrote the passage to __________．

    A．criticize adult running

    B．advertise his school track team

    C．introduce something unknown to his readers

    D．tell his readers to get involved in running
