解析:

1.這是一道細節(jié)題。從第一段中擁有“Associate Degree”的人同只擁有“High School Diploma”的人年收入的差距看出,學歷在人的工作中的重要性,第二段就提出可以提供一個在家學習,獲得“Specialized Associate Degree”的機會。因此,很多高中生為了生計,會依廣告中宣傳的去做。答案為C。 

2.這是一道細節(jié)題?忌梢栽诘诙巫詈笠痪湓捴姓业紸ccounting, Bookkeeping和Photography。因而排除了Physiology。答案為B。 

3.這是一道細節(jié)題。從第二段第二句話可知,人們利用業(yè)余時間的學習來取得Specialized Association Degree的。答案為C。 

4.這是一道細節(jié)題。從Your education is nationally recognized!這一段第一句話可知,四個選項中只有選項B中的Harvard ?University?沒有雇用該校的畢業(yè)生。故答案為B。 

5.這是一道細節(jié)題。從廣告最后提供的電話號碼和email網(wǎng)址可知,可以通過e-mail得到Direct。

(共10分,每小題2分)從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。有兩項為多余選項。

College life can become a great struggle because students have to balance school, a social life, and sometimes a job as well. The following steps could help the grades of college students.

Go to class. Why did your parents pay for your tuition or why are your parents paying their taxes for financial aid? Even when you don't feel like attending class, just go. 1.  Many classes have in-class assignments, pop quizzes, and case studies that only could be taken in class. If you are not there, you might lose points.

  2.  . College is all about multitasking. Planners can really help you to balance homework, due dates and tests. You should try to get your work done early, then you will have less stress.

Be business-like about your education. If you had a job, you would have to go to your job at 9 a.m and stay there until 5 p.m.    3.  If you did the same thing in college, you would be great. Go to class, go to the library, study seriously, at 5 p.m put away the books and go home. Once in a while you might have to work late, just like at a real job.

 4.   .Everyone studies in different ways. Some can study with a lot of noise and others want silence. Some can't even study with music on and some need dead silence. Some like the library and some like to study with friends, or even outside.

  5.   . Some students start better than they finish. They do that in order to give themselves room to slack near the end of the semester, which can be a mistake. Push yourself to do your best on every assignment. Stay on top of your game and don't lose focus.

A. Stay organized.

B.Maintain 100% effort throughout the semester.

C.You might get participation points, and the professor will also get to know you better.

D. The rest of the day would be your own time.

E.  Use your time effectively and efficiently.

F.  Find your own best method of studying.

G.  Balance work, school and social life.

It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to   1  a checking account. The only officer on   2  was a fortyish black man, standing   3  a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially   4  of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a   5  in a West Side bank.

The boy continued to   6  my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and   7  an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I   8  any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not   9  to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly I noticed the   10  had a series of small deposits (存款) and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you   11  that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked   12 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very   13 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting   14 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed.   15 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.

The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got   16 .” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were   17  this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲詐) this boy for more than a month. The guy was   18  him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was   19  too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n)   20  today.”

“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”

“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

Recently, I have begun to do rides with a group of guys who ride professionally (老練地). The first day, I finished the ride with great   36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my   37 , I did a little better the second time.

I decided to work harder to   38 . Yesterday, I   39  so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路線) I usually take;   40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure about which   41  I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders   42 , and I just followed them.

A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的輪胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it   43  in about a minute. We all waited there   44  he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticed something   45 . The guy at the front would ride   46  for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side,   47  his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (過程) would   48  every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to   49  the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the   50  I’ve ever gone.

This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the   51  of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best   52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy   53  you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the   54  all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a   55 . Who else will stop and help you to change your flat tire?
