14.You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office-or not.It's a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous.
We all know that a truthful,well-written essay that shows how the student has matured is sometimes shared among admissions staffers.(36)ESo how do you make your essay famous instead of infamous?
Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay:
●Avoid the generic(概括的)and get specific.Don't write that you're"fully-developed"or that"many people have impacted"you.(37)G
●Don't repeat information that is elsewhere in your application.(38)D It is important for  the student to use every opportunity to show who they are and impress the admissions office.
●(39)C If you have gone through difficult circumstances,you should share your story.But don't blame others.It's important to show perseverance(毅力).A better essay will talk about how you have dealt with and overcome the obstacles you came across.
●Don't talk about rankings.Many students love focusing on the numbers when they are writing their"why this college"essay.(40)A Obviously schools are aware of their rankings.They want to know why you want to attend.

A.They believe they are praising the college by mentioning the fact that the college is highly ranked.
B.It also shows the reader that you are thinking about his or her appreciation of your writing.
C.Don't complain.
D.For example,it is not necessary to share your participation level in your essay.
E.But I'm guessing that there are a lot more essays that produce laughter and gasps of"not again".
F.Don't try to cover everything in an essay.
G.Tell the reader what you've done,how you've been influenced,and by whom.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了怎樣寫出能夠通過招生辦的文章,首先要避免廣泛要寫的具體,并且不要重復信息;其次,不要抱怨,顯示毅力很重要;最后寫作時不談學校排名,多寫自己想要參加的原因.

解答 36.E.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"So how do you make your essay famous instead of infamous",你如何使你的文章不是臭名昭著的呢,可知前文應為 但是我猜有很多的文章使人大笑,在心里想著不要再有這樣的了;故選E.
37.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文"Avoid the generic and get specific",避免籠統(tǒng)要寫的具體,前文已講過籠統(tǒng)的內(nèi)容,因此這里應是對具體的描述,即告訴讀者你做了什么,你是如何受到影響的,受到誰的影響;故選G.
38.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文"Don't repeat information that is elsewhere in your application",不要重復信息,在您的應用程序的地方,應為它是沒有必要在你的文章分享你的參與水平;故選D.
39.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"But don't blame others.It's important to show perseverance",但是,不要怪別人.顯示毅力很重要,可知應為不要抱怨;故選C.
40.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文"Obviously schools are aware of their rankings",很明顯,學校清楚他們的排名;因此應為 他們相信他們提到該學院是高度排名的事實是贊揚學院;故選A.

點評 考察學生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.

7.Two European Summer Must‘Seas'
When you think of summer,the beach,clear water,sunny skies,and relaxing days are a few things that come to mind,and two of the best places to experience these summer feels are two gorgeous European bodies of water:the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea!These two incredible Seas hold some of my favorite travel memories.a(chǎn)nd I would revisit each one in a heart beat!
The Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea can be accessed from various European countries as well as a few North African countries.And while many think of visiting Ibiza,Malta,or the Greek islands to experience the Mediterranean,my Mediterranean beach days came while visiting the seaside city of Marseille in the South of France!Marseille was a lovely city with easy access to the Sea,also with pretty sandy beaches.The gorgeous crystal clear blue water made it unlike any beach day in America!Not only were the beaches amazing,but the city of Marseille was adorable and filled with numerous cute shops and seaside restaurants.And the Mediterranean-style food was delicious!
The Adriatic Sea
The Adriatic Sea is equally as stunning and surely worth a visit!The Croatian coast has numerous beach clubs,some private and some public,that tourists are able to visit and you can experience the beauty of the Adriatic Sea there!Zrce Novalja,a Croatian seaside town I visited,was impressively featured by the rather rocky beach in place of sand.The rocks were small and smooth,making swimming in the sea and wading in the water just as easy as sandy beaches!Plus the locals in Croatia are also extremely friendly,making the experience even more memorable.
21.The writer's trip to the two seas was full ofC.
A.unbearable hardships

D.funny events
