University students come from different parts of the country with various purposes. However, a closer look at their reasons for studying at the university will enable us to 31) classify them roughly into three groups: those who have a(n) 32) passion for learning, those who wish to 33) attain a bright future, and those who learn with no definite purpose.
Firstly, there are many students who learn simply because they 34) pursue
their goal of learning. Some read a wealth of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature. Others sit in front of the computer screen, working on a new program, 35) virtually day and night, because they find some computer programs 36) fascinating . a nd they dream of becoming a “Bill Gates” one day.
Secondly, there are students who work hard mainly for a better and more
37)prosperous future. It seems that the majority of students fall into this group. After admission to the university, they read books after books to 38) acquire knowledge from all of the resources which are 39)available to them, and finally, to succeed in the future job market.
Thirdly, there are still some students who learn without a clear goal. They take courses, finish home work, enjoy life on campus, but don’t want to 40)sample anything new or challenging. They have no idea what they will be doing after college. And they may end up with nothing in their lives.
A)attain B) pursue C) raise D) classify
E) especially F) fascinating G) available H) passion
I) acquire J) sample v (体验）K) fulfill (one’s duty/ potential) L) qualify M) virtually adv(几乎，实际上）N) fashionable O) prosperous

If you have a problem, ask for help. There's no such thing as a stupid question, so there is no need to be intimidated or 34.embarrassed .Sharing 35.insights and answers freely is what makes the Internet such a great medium for learning.
Online classroom teacher Mike Roberts was asked about what he thought the greatest 36.benefit of online learning is. “As a teacher, I need the students to ask questions so that I know what areas of my lessons need further 37.explanation. That’s what is great about teaching and learning over the Internet. In an ordinary classroom, time is limited, so students seem to ask the 38.minimum amount of questions possible. But in the 39.virtual classroom, students are always asking questions. They
really seem to feel https://www.doczj.com/doc/e815792607.html,fortable asking me for the information that they need. They also share a lot of valuable ideas with each other in a way that you don’t usually see in a regular classroom.”
A)interested B) frustrating C) comfortable D) valuable E) post
F) virtual G) rewarding H) insights I) embarrassed J) communicate K) benefit L) medium M) explanation[,ekspl?'ne??(?)n]
N) information O) minimum

Parents and teenagers have different or even opposite things to worry about. For example, while a mother might have a hard time understanding why her teenagers' room is always a(n) 1.embarrassment of dirty stuff, the teenagers are more worried about their next exams and may think it is (2) ridiculous for their mother to insist on keeping a clean room. It is therefore important for you to (3) appreciate the differences and learn to communicate with your teenagers properly. (4)Otherwise, your teenagers may say nothing and shut you out of their personal lives. Their refusal to talk with you may even create (5)emotional stress in your life.
Learning effective ways to communicate can (6)reverse the situation of a difficult relationship, (7) reduce the stress of your life, and lead to a friendly relationship with your teenagers. First, you should learn to discuss serious problems in daily conversations. So, important topics, such as driving a vehicle and building a(n) (8) romantic relationship, could be dealt with through daily conversations.
Second, learn to be an active listener. Many parents are so (9)overwhelmed with their work that they could hardly take some time for their (10)beloved children. Spend your time listening carefully to what your children like to talk about, and make sure your children feel they are being taken seriously. This will increase the chances of good communication.
A)emotional B) overwhelmed C) curious D) reverse v 反转，彻底改变
&n 反面，相反的情况&adj 相反的E) reduce F) romantic G) embarrassment
H) awkwardness ['??kw?dn?s]笨拙I) parental
J) beloved K) ridiculous L) appreciate v 欣赏，感激，理解，增值M) cultivate N) Therefore O) Otherwise

D. 从句中的just as (正如)来推断，主从两句所表达的意思为顺接关系。由于主句中seldom 表示否定意义，所给的四个选项中，只有rarely表示否定意义，rarely少有，罕见。本句意思是：正如儿童很少记得三岁左右的个人特殊经历一样，成年人很少记得上学以前发生的事情。 4. A. 本句考查的是名词与动词的搭配用法。从上下文的句意和四个选项来判断，只有 propose可以和explanation(解释)形成习惯搭配，propose explanations意思是“提出解释，给予解释”。cancel取消；figured out理解，测算出；witness作证，目击。 5. C. not...until为固定搭配，意思为“直到…才”。本句意思是：大脑中主观记忆功能的部位 直到两岁左右才能发育成熟。 6. B. 所填动词之后跟有that引导的定语从句，所给四个选项中，只有maintain(坚持，主张) 之后可以接宾语从句，其他几个词不能这样用。intervenes插入，干预；contains 包括，包含；magnifies放大，扩大。

On the last day our teacher told us something 1 that I would like to share with you. He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle. He asked, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one student decided to 2 his idea," The world?" The teacher said, "That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any 3 ." "Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?"
