A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my
hard work had paid off. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school, so I made
sure to push myself: I volunteered, got involved in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was
so excited to start a new chapter(篇章)of my life. I had totally packed two weeks before it was time to leave.
Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were
the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was so homesick
and I didn't know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my
studies and I applied for a ton of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym.
I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn't think how lonely I felt.
Soon after, I began to limit food,and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor.
When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower
my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness. But
when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies. I quickly started recovery in
my mind.
How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my
homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had
gotten straight A's. That's why I want to share my story-to help other students feel less lonely.

The U. S. Thanksgiving holiday is symbolized (象征) by its traditional food-roast turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could
say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word "Turkey" has meant "the land of the Turks" since
ancient times. In the mid-1500s, the word "turkey" was first used to refer to the bird in the English
language.
The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds.
There is an African bird called the guinea fowl(珍珠鸡). It has dark feathers with white spots
and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through
North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought the
bird as a "Turkish chicken".
When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This
bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl,which.
at that time, was called the “turkey cock",so they gave it the same name.
Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird ‘turkey", even though it
has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe.
But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird.
The Turkish call turkey “hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The reference( 涉 及 )to India
probably conies from the old. wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia.
The French call it "dinde", a name that also connects the bird to India. "Dinde" means "from
India" in the French language. "Turkey" has similar names in several other languages.
28. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. The word "turkey" appeared in modern times.
B.Turkey's English name is based on correct identity.
C. Americans like eating turkey in Thanksgiving holiday.
D. Both Turkey and turkey have similar meanings in English.
29. Where did the guinea fowl come from?
A. Europe. B. Africa. C. America. D. Asia.
30. What does "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Eastern Asia. B. The French language. C. The New World. D. The bird turkey.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. How did Thanksgiving "turkey" get its name? B. How did Americans spend their Thanksgiving holiday?
C. Why was the guinea fowl so popular with Americans?
D. Why was the guinea fowl different from American turkeys?
D
Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo Da Vinci, who
died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers
of all time. His most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting-Landscape 8P which, they think, is Da
Vinci's earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there
were two images(图像),not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to
August 5,1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley
and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps
because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this
"mirror-writing". It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes
from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, "Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught
to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writings, including from this
drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done. ”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples( 样 本 )and said they were both made by
Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an
exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing
researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in
writing.
32. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently?
A. The Mona Lisa. B. Landscape 8P. C. Mirror-writing. D. The Last Supper.
33. What does the writing on the back probably tell about?
A. A statement about the painting. C. An agreement to produce a painting.
B. An introduction about Leonardo.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
34. What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words?
A. He’ could write with either of his hands.
B. He did bad in right-handed handwriting.
C. He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
D. He taught himself to write with right hand.
35. What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research?
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

My 20-year-old daughter, Allison, living in Philadelphia, sent me a text the other day:"I need
socks and shampoo.”She was actually asking me to 41 those items for her, but I 42 she was
playing a cell phone game. I decide not to be a helicopter(直升机) 43 ,because experience as a
mother and professor has taught me how 44 that can result.
45 , I prefer a more hands-off approach. From the time Allison turned 18, I no longer had
any 46 to know her work and life schedule.
But that's not what I 47 at Drexel University where I teach. Most of my students talk
to their 48 three times a day or more. One student's mother called because she didn't
49 from him for a few days. He was in the library so he 50 "hello". She doubted that he was
drinking, and insisted on asking him to 51 a picture of himself. Holding a newspaper with that
day's 52 ,he took a picture and sent it to his mother in order to 53 that he wasn't telling a
lie.
I've always treated my students as independent beings. I tell them on the first day that I will not
follow up with them on missing 54 or assignments. I am getting them to become independent
thinkers, and take responsibility for their 55 .
But their parents don't 56 them like me. I know a mother. She supervises(监督)her son too
much. She hopes he will walk by the 57 ,so that she can know what he is doing. Another mother checks her son's credit card daily. However, I never do that. My daughters only come to me with
58 things that need my decision, and I think that's because I give them space.
Many parents try to find if their kids are 59 from them. But we have to learn to respect
boundaries(界限),even when technology is so 60 . So I am going to do my best not to be a
helicopter parent.

Keeping a diary in English is a 61 (use) way to improve our English writing abilities.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and take 62 (little) time. It can help us to
develop the habit of thinking in English. If we insist on this practice, gradually we'll learn how to expresses 63 (we) in English. Keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many
difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble 64 (find) proper words and
phrases to give 65 (express) to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic(惯用的)words in
Chinese. And 66 is extremely hard for us to put them into English 67 (proper).
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is 68 we should always have a notebook and a
Chinese-English dictionary 69 easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it
down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for
help, if necessary. In short , I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the
development of our writing 70 (skill).
