Your college years will be the most important of your life．It is in college that you will discover what learning is about．This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired，after which you learn is of no practical use in real life，the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever．
Follow your passion in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy．Don't be bothered by what others think or say，but make up your own mind．Most importantly，make true friends and be happy．Don't  worry  abut their hobbies，grades，looks，or even personalities．
Start planning early what you'd like to do．Where would you like to live？What would you like to learn？I think your plan to study fashion is good，and you should decide where you want to be，and get onto the right courses．I will always be there for you，but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life，and you need to be in control．Being in control feels great．Try it，and you'll love it!
So please treasure you college years-make the best use of your free time，become an independert thinker in control of your destiny，and learn through your successes and challenges．
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life，and may you grow into just what you dream to be．Love

分析 本文是一篇書信體裁的應(yīng)用文，在信中父親表達了對孩子的驕傲與自豪；同時也給了孩子一些中肯的建議；為孩子指明大學學習的方向，期望女兒在大學學習的輕松，快樂成長，能夠獨立．文章字里行間透露出了父母對孩子濃濃的愛．

解答 56．答案是A．推理判斷題．在信中父親表達了對孩子感到的驕傲自豪以及殷切期望，而且就大學生活給孩子提出一些建議，這些無一不是愛的流露．所以A選項正確．
57．答案是 B．詞義猜測題；A 重量；B 生活；C姿勢，職位；D時間；從上下文可知父親讓孩子要學會獨立思考，把握自己的生活．所以B選項正確．
58．答案是C．細節(jié)理解題；從文章第三段"Don't be bothered by what others think or say，but make up your own mind．"可知父親建議孩子不要受別人言論的困擾，而C 項中的說明"要跟從他人"不符合原文的意思，所以正確選項為C．
59．答案是D．推理判斷題；從文章第二段開始告訴孩子大學生活的重要，第三段第四段分別又告誡孩子在大學仍要保持激情，要開始計劃未來，文章倒的第二段So please treasure your college years--make the best use of your free time，更是對文章中心的概括總結(jié)，所以D為正確選項．

點評 閱讀理解要在整體理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，關(guān)注細節(jié)：閱讀強調(diào)整體把握；解題強調(diào)依據(jù)原文細節(jié)推敲推斷．

10．Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize，and the first person to win it twice．However，few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．
Born in September，1897，Irene Curie was the first of the Curies'two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars，Irene studied in their own school，and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sevigne in Paris．
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began，Irene went to help her mother，who was using X-ray facilities（設(shè)備） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognized in the form of a Military Medal by the French government．
In 1918，Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924，F(xiàn)rederic Joliot joined the Institute，and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927and their son Pierre five years later．
Like her mother，Irene combined family and career．Like her mother，Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize，along with her husband，in 1935．Unfortunately，also like her mother，she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（輻射能）．Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17，1956．

17．Before Alaska became part of the U．S．，it had been owned by Russia．Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast．The rest of land was left unexplored．The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there．
    By the mid-1800's，most of the seal herds had been wiped out，and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska．William Seward，Secretary of State for President Johnson，believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia．President Johnson wasn't so sure it was a wise way to spend U．S．money，but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians．Acting quickly，Seward made a deal．On March 30，1867，he signed an agreement for the U．S．to pay seven million dollars for the land．
    Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America's money．They called the deal"Seward's folly"．Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly．
Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska．He died in 1872，five years after making the purchase （購買）．Each year，Alaska's natural resources have brought in many times the $7，000，000 paid for it．Natural gas，coal，oil，lumber，seafood and other minerals，besides the gold first found，have made it a valuable addition to the United States．In 1959，Alaska became the 49th state of the United States．
69．The Russians wanted to sell Alaska becauseC．
A．they thought it wasn't a good place     
B．they thought it didn't belong to Russia
C．they couldn't find enough seals there
D．they wan ted to earn more money from the U．S．
70．When Seward signed the agreement，many people thoughtA．
A．he wasted U．S．money      
B．it had its true value
C．it was a successful deal      
D．he was clever
71．Which of the following things was found first in Alaska？D
A．Gas．B．Coal．C．Oil．D．Gold．
72．Before 1959，the United States hadB．
A.37 states        B.48 states   C.49 states         D.50 states
73．The best title for this passage would probably beD．
A．Alaska，a beautiful place

C．Alaska，home to seals       
D．Alaska，the 49th state of the U．S．

7．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
    That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization does not pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts（文科） graduate．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree．"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior and a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．
67．The job market is in great need of people withC．
A．special training in special fields
B．a(chǎn) bachelor's degree in education
C．formal schooling and work experience
D．a(chǎn)n MBA degree from top universities
68．The underlined sentence in Paragrph 2 meansA．
A．a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B．MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C．people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
69．David Birch says that he only hires liberal-arts people becauseB．
A．they will follow others'ways of solving problems
B．they can do better in bundling changing situations
C．they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．they have attended special programs in management
70．The author supports the idea thatD．
A．on-the-job training is less costly in the long run
B．formal schooling is less important than job training
C．specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D．generalists will do better than specialists in management．

11．People with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first．According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia，such people may be more likely to have food addiction．The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren't necessarily overweight，but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food，and therefore，less healthy weight．
Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use．Studies have linked the dopamine （多巴胺） release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances．
Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits （特點）．Two of these traits，known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance，were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI （身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)） during the study．
Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions．Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs．For others，it could mean eating to feel better．Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks．People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior，which could also cause obesity．
"Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight，"said Dr．Ashley Gearhardt，a clinical psychologist．He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people．"We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing，then our measure，the Yale Food Addiction Scale，should be related to helping control impulsive action，"said Gearhardt．
Clinical psychologist Dr．James MacKillop，whose lab was conducting the study，believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits．
"Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things，which are clearly diet and exercise，"MacKillop said．"It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily．"

32．According to Paragraph 1，the result of food addiction isA．
A．less healthy weight
B．motivation to lose weight
C．negative emotions 
D．taking alcohol or drugs
33．How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4？D
A．By making comparisons and conclusions．
B．By explaining causes and effects．
C．By presenting questions and answers．
D．By giving definitions and examples．
34．What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text？B
A．It has been successfully carried out among overweight people．
B．It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight．
C．It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people．
D．It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior．
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？C
A．Dopamine release caused by food addiction
B．Food addiction compared to drug use
C．Impulsive personality linked to food addition
D．Food addiction contributing to obesity．

12．A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly．The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems．Designed to do what a fly does naturally，the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly．Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks．
"It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components（元件），"said Robert Wood，the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade．A few years ago，his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components．"The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own，"he said．
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly．"The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components，each of which individually has to perform well，but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to，"said Wood．The flight device was built into a set of power，computation，sensing and control systems．Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured．
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small，off-board power source，the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source，so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites，in farmers'fields or on the battlefield．"Basically it should be able to take off，land and fly around，"he said．
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale．Yet，the power，sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications．"You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions，you know，to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals，but using these robots instead，"he said．"So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis．"
28．The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was thatC．
A．they had no model in their mind
B．they did not have sufficient time
C．they had no ready-made components
D．they could not assemble the components
29．It can be inferred from paragraphs 3and 4that the robotic flyB．
A．consists of a flight device and a control system
B．can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C．can collect information from many sources
D．has been put into wide application
30．Which of the following can be learned from the passage？D
A．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects．
B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments．
C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly．
D．Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments．
31．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？C
A．Father of Robotic Fly
B．Inspiration from Engineering Science
C．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study．
