Hey there,
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money. and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the once that is the most competitive(有竞争力的)or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com. you’ll find hundreds of actual college application(申请)and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission(录取)course. It’s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

July 21st. 2007 was a typical English summer’s day — it rained for 24 hours ! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm. However, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door. a wave of waters greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t wish me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the wall’s ceilings pulled down.
At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home. so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we move to a wooden house in a park. The house was small. but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community(社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.
Although our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought. “We didn’t have a straw hut(茅草房)that was for Christmas. But I can’t wait — I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush — we have our home back. and that’s the main thing.

A. Wrong. B. Missing. C. Right. D. Found
61. It can be inferred from the text that the author .
A. was sick of staying upstairs
B. cared much about her children
C. could not stand living in a wooden house
D.did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood
62. Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph ?
A. Because her situation was not serious.
B. Because many other paces were flooded.
C. Because she had been to Northern India.
D. Because some others suffered even more.
63. What does the author mainly want to express by telling her story?
A. She valued human feelings more than before.
B. She realized she almost didn’t need possession.
C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.
D. She thought her own home was the most important.

My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown ,the thriving(繁荣的) city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom . “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself. After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York . Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way .If they could do it, why couldn’t he? “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself. Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth(摊位) on Canal Street, New York City .He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language. To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life. Stand straight and stand tall. In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle(走廊) at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together .He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name. I am so proud to be one of those children.

A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advise that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.
FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive. Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006, Bur among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) says.
68. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70
B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents happened per hour.
C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people
D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.
69. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?
A. Fixing more traffic lights
B. Providing more crosswalks
C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.
D. Drivers don’t give way
70. What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the text?
A. There’re many cars and buses on the road.
B. Pedestrians are careless.
C. Crosswalks are crowded.
D. Drivers don’t give way.
71. The report from NHTSA suggests that
A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks
B. crosswalk safety has been greatly improved
C. much has been done to reduce traffic accidents
D. pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problem
E
All too often, a choice that seems sustainable(可持续的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇) for fuel fromcorn. Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.
One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land –including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO ) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.
You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental(环境的) costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.
72. What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?
A. The growing demand for energy to make ethanol
B. The increasing carbon dioxide in the air
C. The greater need for farmland
D. The big change in weather.
73. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “ ”
A. the energy benefit B. the forest loss
C. climate change D. burning ethanol
74. The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is .
A. impractical B. acceptable C. admirable D. useless
75. What does the author mainly discuss in the text?
A. Technology B. Sustainability
C. Ethanol energy D. Environmental protection

第一节 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。
The days of multi - layer air tickets won' t be long, as the China Air Transport Association (CATA) has stopped providing paper tickets and instructed sellers to sell e - tickets to passengers.
The decision is in line with an International Air Transport Association (IATA) move that requires its 261 member airlines to stop using paper tickets by the end of this year.
The change currently only applies to domestic (国内的) flights. " We haven' t received notice from the CATA that paper tickets for international flights will be stopped," said a ticket agent in Beijing, " But e - tickets will be issued once the current paper tickets have been used up. "
Customers will book tickets through airlines or ticket agents as usual, and they will be given a booking reference.
They will then be able to use automatic check - in facilities at airports. To make passengers adapt to the change, they are allowed to check in as normal at the counter till the next May.
Special passengers like small babies without ID cards and those flying to airports without automatic check - in machines can still use paper tickets.
The wide use of e - ticketing is expected to lower operational costs, which could lead to lower prices, said an expert with the safety technology centre of the General Administration of Civil Aviation ( CAAC).
An on-line survey that lasted for two months by civil aviation website www. CARNOC. Com showed widespread concern over the new system.
Despite having the Internet proficiency to take part in the online survey, 43 per cent of people said they would prefer to receive a paper ticket. While some feel more secure without the worry of losing a ticket, others said they did not trust sending personal details over the Internet.
Title: China to Issue Air (76)
Reasons for the decision
• The members of IATA are (77) to stop using paper tickets.
• The wide use of e - tickets can (78) operational costs.
Time to apply e - tickets to (79) _____flights
When the current paper tickets have been used up.
How to book e - tickets

Ways of check - in
Passengers with e - tickets can use automatic facilities or check in at the counter.
Cases to use paper air tickets
•Kids at a very (81 ) age and without a ID card
•Passengers to airports without automatic check - in machines
(82)._____towards e - tickets
• About 57 % of people have a (83 ) ______ for e - tickets.
•Some people think sending personal information online is not (84) ______.
Passengers' benefit from the change
They could pay ( 85 ) for a flight by using e - tickets.
