第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
GETTING A GRANT
Who pays?
The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.
Who can get this money?
Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.
SPECIAL CASES
If a student has worked before going to college?
A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three years will get extra money – £155 a year since 26, increasing to a maximum of £615 at 29 or more.
If a student is handicapped?
LEAs will give up to £500 to help meet extra expenses – such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.
Banking?
Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts, hoping that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials. A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by £100 or so, and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest).
21. The underlined phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _____.
A. a first degree B. a credit card C. financial aid D. further education
22. How much extra money will a 31-year-old nurse get a year if she has worked since 25?

C. they hope he’ll be a potential customer
D. they know he can get money regularly

When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one
channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.
I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.
I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again !
24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?
A. He was wild about adventure. B. He could watch TV all day.
C. He often imagined playing freely. D. He used to explore the old dirt road.
25. What can we know about the dirt road?
A. It was the only way to the lake. B. It was a road across the forest.
C. There was no traffic on it. D. He had explored it for many times.
26. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. Doubt. B. Hope. C. Curiosity. D. Creativity.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile B. Be Brave to Adventure
C. Be Determined in Your Life D. All Roads Lead Home
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
28. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Stories for children are easy to remember.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
29. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______.
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. using examples D. making a comparison]
30. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
31.What is the author’s opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.
D
When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles. And that overuse can lead to strain（紧张）and injury. Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But exercise experts say they are now seeing another cause for muscle problems: hand-held technology devices(设备).
Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck and spine（脊椎）. Many people who use tech devices also bend their shoulders forward. Experts say this posture（姿势）puts strain on the entire upper body. Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name:tech neck.
Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City, explains that constantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural bend in our spine. This can cause nerve pain and other problems. “A lot of the curves of the neck can change, so instead of the neck spine going inward, the curve can be a little bit different and it causes nerve pain and disc herniation（椎间盘突出）and different muscle tension headaches — different things that really can reduce quality of life.”
Fielding created a class to directly solve the problem of tech neck. The class uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body and strengthen back and neck muscles. Fielding says these exercises may feel uncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have become weak.
However, you don’t need to take a class like Fielding’s. You can take simple steps to improve tech neck. For a quick fix, hold your phone at eye level. At the same time, take breaks from using your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often. Also, give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day.
32．What does the underlined phrase “tech neck” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The painful neck caused by electronic devices.
B. The strong neck after technical physical exercises.
C. The decoration on the neck with hand-held devices.
D. The cell phone or iPad frequently hung on the neck.
33．What can we learn from Kimberly Fielding’s findings?
A. Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches.
B. Nerve pain and other problems are caused by disc herniation.
C. Staring down at your smartphone does great harm to your neck spine.
D. Quality of life depends in a large part on the condition of neck spine.
34．Why did Kimberly Fielding start the class?
A. To introduce her newly-invented devices.
B. To help those suffering from tech neck.
C. To further study the causes of tech neck.
D. To stress the danger of hand-held devices.
35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To invite people to attend Fielding’s class.
B. To urge people to keep away from e-products.
C. To give some practical tips to prevent neck pain.
D. To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.

Dear teachers and classmates:
I’m quite pleasant to be here to share something about my career planning.
When it comes to my ideal job in the future, I sincerely would like to be a chef, who makes various delicious foods to meet people’s taste. At present, I have some advantages to be a chef. On the one hand, it is my experiences of travelling to different places that provide me with broad horizon of food culture all over the country. On the other hand, creating new tasty food brings me a lot of fun.
However, it’s not so easy to realize my dream. In order to be a top-class chef, I will need to work hard to learn more knowledge and keep on trying more.
That’s all, thank you.
