A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other drivers eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking as I was. How dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control. In my own life, Ive put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, Ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.31. The author considers it very important _.A. to drive with company B. to have personal independence C. to gain certain responsibility D. to share trust and cooperation 32. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from _.A. only one experience B. many similar experiencesC. a driver on a dark road D. many friends and strangers 33. The need for cooperation increases because _.A. peoples fates cant be controlled by themselves B. certain viruses can spread in a quick way C. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayD. the world has become much more dangerous 34. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has _.A. believed in ones own personal responsibility B. counted upon himself alone in everything C. had no trust in others good faith and judgmentD. had accomplished a change on his viewpointBYou put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. Its time to get started. But whats next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience. To save time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You wont have to locate or afford a place to park either. Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if youre serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun. Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesnt suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isnt always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise. Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year. While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldnt entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.35. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A. Driving your own car. B. Buying used books.C. Renting an apartment. D. Attending activities.36. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against _.A. academic failuresB. physical problems C. traffic accidentsD. social activities37. The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen _.A. attend limited activities on campusB. have little regular physical exerciseC. focus less on their academic workD. take relaxed attitudes to their diets38. The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to _.A. using too much money for meals B. eating too many unhealthy foodsC. taking part in too many after-class activities D. taking an elective that has too many studentsCBased on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north. Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear. According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in todays world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake. Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. Whats more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious. However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.39. Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage ? A. Ways to protect our planet. B. Solutions to climate change. C. Be prepared for climate change. D. Climate change and its effects.40. What is the authors purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?A. To show the damage earthquakes caused. B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.C. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future. 41. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Separated. B. Destroyed. C. Removed. D. Affected.42. What can be inferred from the Passage?A. Animals and plants wont die out as long as climate changes slowly.B. Theres enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.DI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to
