(2017·合肥一中质检)Are you competitive enough to make it in America?
There is an undeniable excitement about coming to study in the US,
but it's not all excitement.
Yes, it is America; it is the land of freedom; it's the place where different cultures clash ... and live together in peace.However, you guys might agree with me: it's not easy to leave home and the security of family, friends and people who love
and
care about
us.And doing it raises some questions：
Is it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida.
Just as you know, it's all true.I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New York.I can't find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment.Someday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I mean.
Unfortunately, TV and movies never show the other side of what students must do to survive America.Education in the States is really different from other places.Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Dean's List if you have all A's on your transcript.However,
these
grades
don't just
come
from
your
test performances.The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have to manage.
Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea.There comes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for.And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into？”
I'm not trying to intimidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States.One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in.And the more time you give to your study, the more open doors you will have by the time you finish your degree.

Ⅲ.任务型读写
(2017·马鞍山高三质检)The Olympic Games, an international sports competition, have a very long history.
The ancient Olympic Games were held in Greece every four years in the summer.
They probably began in the sixth century B．C. The first games lasted for only one day. The contest then was a short race alone. Only Greek men, no women and no nonGreeks, were allowed to run in the race. Women were not even allowed to watch the race. Other events were added later. The ancient games were stopped in the fourth century A. D. , when Greece was ruled by Rome.
The Olympics were started again in the nineteenth century. The first competition in modern times was held in Athens in 1896. Since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years in many different cities around the world.
The events are of several different types. There are individual contests, where each athlete plays alone. To win this contest, one athlete must be better, faster, or stronger than others. Some examples of individual summer games are swimming, running, jumping and gymnastics. Some winter events are skiing and sledding (雪橇) races.
In a second group of events and games, three or four athletes work as a group.
These contests are usually races and the fastest group wins. For these small groups, there are relay races in running and swimming in summer, and relays in skiing in winter.
In a third group of games, teams from each country compete in sports. To win these games, one team must have a higher score than the other. The athletes must usually be able to catch, throw, hit, or kick a ball very well. For teams, they play such games as basketball, soccer and volleyball.
For an athlete, winning in the Olympics is a great achievement.

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选B 句意：“我考驾照又没通过，很抱歉让您失望了。”“为什么？我帮你练得够多了。”So what？“那又怎样？”How come？“为什么？”Any reason？“有什么原因吗？”Why not？“为什么不？”
2．选A 句意：“据报道，在癌症治疗上取得了巨大突破。”“要是我的儿子能够重生就好了！”a big breakthrough“一个重大的突破”，是“不定冠词＋可数名词单数”的泛指用法；bring sb. back to life“使某人恢复生命(生机)”，life前不用冠词。if only“要是……多好”。
3．选A 句意：消防员很难靠近燃烧的房子，所有营救被困人员的尝试都是徒劳地。in vain“徒劳地”；in return“作为回报”；in place“适当的”；in danger“在危险中”。根据句意可知选A。
4．选B 句意：“史密斯医生，您能给我讲一下这种病毒的情况吗？”“当然可以。它是通过血液传播的并能造成各种器官的病变。”空后面的via意为“通过；借助于”，据此可以判断应用circulate“传播”。
5．选A 句意：尽管还是个孩子，我的儿子拒绝别人告诉他该做什么和不该做什么。resist后只接动名词作宾语。本题句意表被动，因此用resist being done。
6．选C 句意：“我可以借你的《史蒂夫·乔布斯》一书看看吗？”“如果你在星期五前能还我(就行)。”根据句意可知选C，on condition that意为“条件是，如果(用于表示先决条件)”。if only“要是……就好了”；unless“除非”；now that“既然”。
