　　You will go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting stages of one’s life.If you wish to make the most of your campus(校园) experience and become a better person after those four years，then first you ought to make friends.Close friends contribute to your self­growth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to survive the stressful college life.Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your dorm，and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.

　　Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying.However，rather than thinking about your missing home too much，why not see this new stage in your life as an opportunity for self­growth and develop the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post­graduation life，particularly when you join the workforce?

　　Special­interest clubs or organizations are great for self­growth.Here，not only do you get the opportunity to meet with like­minded people，you can also discover more things about your field of interest.Club meetings usually include lively discussions，so go there with the right attitude.You should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful，active and considerate to others.

　　You might not like all of your professors，but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field.Thus，show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn.Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self­growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.

　　Actively participating in a class debate(辩论) or lecture contributes to your self­growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills.It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术) when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.

　　1．In the writer’s opinion，how can college students develop a positive attitude?

　　A．By joining special­interest clubs.

　　B．By focusing on their studies.

　　C．By taking up part­time jobs.

　　D．By making friends with others.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段“Friends can...and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.”可知交友有助于形成正确的人生态度。

　　2．The underlined word “rigors” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”．

　　A．reasons

　　B．difficulties

　　C．joys

　　D．effects

　　答案　B

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子的句意：养成良好的态度有利于为大学毕业后的生活中尤其你参加工作后碰到的________做好准备。推断该词意为“困难”。

　　3．According to the text，college students should do many things EXCEPT ________.

　　A．forget the family

　　B．be respectful at club meetings

　　C．try to attend each class

　　D．take an active part in a class debate

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，作者建议学生们不要老想家，而不是不想家。

　　4．The purpose of the text is to ________.

　　A．introduce how to show yourself in college

　　B．tell college students how to socialize with others

　　C．give college students some advice on self­growth

　　D．explain the importance of four­year college life

　　答案　C

　　解析　写作目的题。根据第一段“If you wish to make the most of your campus experience and become a better person after those four years...”和文中多处出现的self growth，还有交朋友、调节想家的心情、参加俱乐部或组织、尊重教授、积极上课这五个方面的内容，可推断文章旨在给出大学期间自我发展的建议，故选C项。

　　B

　　How is it that siblings(兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently？One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in_a_different_family.The firstborn is，for a while，an only child，and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later.The next child is，for a while，the youngest，until the situation is changed by a new arrival.The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too.One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years；another might be raised in a family crisis，with a disappointed mother or an angry father.

　　Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918.But more recently，researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives.Dr.Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings.The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one­on­one time with parents.But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development.Later­borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents，but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters，learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”．

　　A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially.Love­hate relationships were common among the children.Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.

　　One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings，particularly if they are close in age.Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third.Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters.A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years，finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.

　　5．The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para.1) means “________”．

　　A．in a different family environment

　　B．in a different family tradition

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段第三、四句“The firstborn is，for a while，an only child，...The next child is，for a while，the youngest，...”可知，这里指的是同一个家庭，在不同时期的家庭环境，所以选A项。

　　6．In terms of language development，later­borns ________.

　　A．get their parents’ individual guidance

　　B．learn a lot from their elder siblings

　　C．experience a lot of difficulties

　　D．pick up words more quickly

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“...but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters...”可知，他们从大哥哥大姐姐那里学习。所以选B项。

　　7．What was found about fights among siblings?

　　A．Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.

　　B．Siblings in some families fought frequently.

　　C．Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.

　　D．Siblings learned to get on together from fights.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.”可知选D项。

　　8．The word “feminine” (in Para.4) means “________”．

　　A．having qualities of parents

　　B．having qualities of women

　　C．having defensive qualities

　　D．having extraordinary qualities

　　答案　B

　　解析　词义猜测题。最后一段第一句为该段的主题句，由此可知孩子引起父母注意的一个方式就是使自己与兄弟姐妹们不同。因此家中有兄弟的女孩会使自己与男孩不同以引起父母的注意，这就使她们更加有女孩的品质。所以选B项。
