阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Finally, Ientered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at acommunity（社区）college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus（校园）admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that Ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.
1. Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?
A. In a restaurant. B. In the tennis camps.
C. In a company. D. In the admissions office.
2. The writer took a class at a community college mainly because_____.
A. she wanted to save money B. life there was relatively easy

A. her mother would not give her approval B. she would fail to get credits in Israel
C. a well-paid summer job would be lost
D. $1,600 couldn’t be drawn out in time
4. The passage is mainly about how the writer _____.
A. made money on the college campus
B. managed to make full use of her vacation
C. was forced to support herself by her mother
D. was shaped by working part-time through college

阅读理解。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier，only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”．These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”， but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. color and its surprising effects
B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness
D. color blindness
2. According to the passage，with the help of the “cones”，we can ________A. tell different colors
B. see in weak light
C. tell different shapes
D. tell orange from yellow
3. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer colorblind women.
C. Women are fonder of driving than men.
D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
