　　语篇解读本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去，这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发：人们在遇到困难的时候，不应冒昧地尝试，应该有所突破，才有机会获得成功。1.A.seeing B．crying out

　　C．watching D．listening to

　　解析　句意为：我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。

　　答案　D

　　2．A. struggle B．cry

　　C．yell D．test

　　解析　struggle意为“挣扎，斗争”；cry意为“哭，喊叫”；yell意为“叫喊”；test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。

　　答案　A

　　3．A. bird B．fly

　　C．insect D．worm

　　解析　bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知，B项正确。

　　答案　B

　　4．A. experience B．direction

　　答案　D

　　6．A. unusual B．likely

　　解析　unusual“不同寻常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“寻常的”。由常识可知，苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。

　　答案　C

　　7．A. digging B．breaking

　　C．pushing D．jumping

　　答案　B

　　13．A. easy B．necessary

　　C．hard D．obvious

　　解析　easy“轻松的，容易的”；necessary“必要的”；hard“艰难的”；obvious“明显的”。句意为：突破的可能性就在那里，是那么简单。

　　答案　A

　　14．A. attempt B．anything

　　Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.

　　However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of other who have walked the college halls before you.

　　The following you may find of use about life on campus.

　　Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university, social and academic(学术的). Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

　　If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day time, a computer date book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

　　Don’t miss the guidelines, restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has authority for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

　　Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this – you are paying thousands of dollars for courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

　　1. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To offer advice on college life.

　　B. To explain why college life is exciting.

　　C. To describe the importance of college life.

　　D. To persuade you to go to college ]

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Teen peer pressure

　　Teen peer pressure is the influence a teen's social group has on him or her. As adolescents enter the teen years, they usually begin to focus more on their peers or friends.

　　71

　　Peers influence most aspects of a teen's life, including how teens dress, what music they listen to, and what kind of activities they are involved in.

　　72

　　Good friends can encourage teens to do well in school, get involved in positive activities, volunteer, eat healthy foods, and avoid drugs, alcohol, and other risky activities. Friends also help teens learn good social skills and better ways to communicate and work out problems.

　　73

　　Negative peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, stealing, or cutting class.

　　74

　　This is because they want to be liked or fit in, they are afraid of being made fun of, or they want to try something other teens are doing.

　　It is important for teens to learn how to deal with peer pressure. There are a lot of things a teen can do to handle it.

　　75

　　Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self.  Also you need to think about the consequences of your decisions and actions, such as if an activity might harm your health or get you into trouble.  Or you can talk to your parents or a trusted adult about the kinds of peer pressure you face and listen to their advice. Remember that if just one teen stands up against negative peer pressure, usually others will join him or her, and learning to handle peer pressure gives teens more confidence.

　　Peer pressure is not always bad.

　　They always give teens good advice.

　　Teens may give in to negative peer pressure.

　　Why it is important to deal with negative peer pressure?

　　First of all, teens need to recognize negative peer pressure.

　　For example, you can choose good friends who share your values.

　　The desire to fit in with peers can be a very strong influence on teens.
