I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind,I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a
being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtok me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of ther pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.“Do you know what you have done?”they said,“It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym,he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.”He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,“My father, who is a great man, is also small.”At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students:“I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Seholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s do ors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicatorn——lik e a student’s high school grades. Even if standardieed tests like the SAT could show a steudnt’s academic profieiency（学业水平）,they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a stude nt’s potentialities（潜力）.This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
64.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’.
A.strong will
B.academic ability
C.full potentialities
D.confidence in school work
65.Students’ self-respect is influeneed by their .
A.seores in the SAT

C.job opportunities
D.money spent on education
66.“A prestigious university”is most probably
A.a famous university
B.a technical universtiy
C.a traditional university
D.an expensive university
67.This passage is mainly about .
A.how to prepare for the SAT
B.stress caused by the SAT
C.American higher education
D.the SAT and its effects

The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much .

For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosoophy (Ph. D.) in biochemisty, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and eritical thinkging . It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasonign .The history of philosopjy involives the study of major philosophers and perrsiad in the development of philosophy.

It is very shor sihte after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed throught the study of philosophy hav significang long-term benefits in canreer advancement.

第二部分：英语知识运用
第一节：单项填空

22．A 本题考查动词do的用法。此处do用于替代句子前面一个相同的动词take。
23．C 本题考查介词用法。be convinced of 确信。effect on……，有关于------方面的影响。24．D 本题考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，此处应用动词不定式表目的，并且主语是动作的承受者。
25．B 本题考查主谓一致。主句主语是a survey，谓语动词应用单数形式；从句主语是three hours of outdoor exercise a week 表示一个整体概念，因此谓语动词也应用单数形式。26．A 本题考查冠词用法。go on a diet 为一固定搭配，room此处为一不可数名词，前面一般不用冠词。

28．B 本题考查代词的用法。根据句意“只有音乐天才才能表演得如此成功”可知，应用none but只有。

32．D 本题考查定语从句的用法。在定语从句中，当先行词为point , case, situation等，其后从句为一完整句子时，通常用关系副词where引导。
33．C 本题考查固定短语。从句中have been warning 可知，应用for some time 一段时间，at a time 每次；at one time 曾经。
34．A 本题考查代词it的用法。本题关键是并列连词but。粗心的学生可能会误选which，认为此处为一个定语从句。
35．D 本题考查动词时态。根据句意“我本没有打算伤害你，我刚才只不过是把一只老鼠赶出去，”可知：前一空应用一般过去式，而后一空应用过去进行式。
第二节：完形填空

Hello，everyone. It’s nice to speak about what we can do for our school, and I think each of
us can do something.
The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. Every one of us may plant a tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We can also form a good habit of putting the rubbish in the trashcan. Never forget to turn off the light or close the door. We should not leave the tap water running or waste any materials in the laboratory class.
If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a better place to study and live in.
Thank you for listening!

3．写作时要用一些高级的单词，短语。句式结构要灵活多变，不要单一，还要考虑是否可以用上一两句名人名言或谚语。这样可以使你的作文锦上添花！
【亮点回放】
1．文章格式正确、结构简洁、清晰，内容详略得当，符合写作要求。文章中的时态、语态也准确无误。
2．能够恰倒好处地使用一些单词以及短语，如organize a thorough cleaning, form a good habit of , turn off等。句式结构也较丰富，有祈使句、从句、It引导的相关句子等等。
3．结尾If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a better

He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble. 21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A ched got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off “in Paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs B.provided fewer channels C.changed to commercials D.showed all-night movies 23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again? A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off. C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired. 24. How does the author sound when telling the story ? A. Curious B. Anxious C. Cautious D. Humorous B Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off .

In addition, we should learn how to get along with others. In school, I respected teachers and was friendly with classmates. It was with sincerity and faithfulness that we created a harmonious atmosphere. Finally, we should take part in sports and outdoor activities frequently. They were really helpful to build up my body and enrich my school life. No pain no gains, I am sure that with your great efforts, you will enjoy a colourful and fruitful life here. Thank you!
