一、閱讀理解

• 1．Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates，and it comes with a lot of changes.For most students，it's the first time they're living away from home and managing their own life.Not surprisingly，adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging.The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
     Goal setting
     When setting goals，whether they're academic，career，or personal，remember they should be attainable but not too easy，so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them，and feel rewarded when you do.Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge，long-term goal into smaller，more practical ones can help make it feel more real，and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
     Interpersonal skills
     At college，you will interact with fellow students，professors，librarians，and many others.Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time，and get more out of them.If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work，practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely，develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else's shoes，and enhance your self-confidence.
     Studying
     With fewer in-class hours and more on-your— own learning，you're required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts.To be successful in college you'll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading，do research，and write papers.Organization is the key，so if you are not someone who is naturally organized，set up your study schedule.
     Budgeting
     Managing money is a critical life skill，and for many，it is at college that they develop it for the first time.Start by estimating your financial balance.Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs.Don't forget about savings...and the fun stuff （movies，dinners out），too.

• 2．    I'm an 18-year-old pre-medical student，tall and good-looking，with two short story books and quite a number of essays my credit．Why am I singing such praises of myself？Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love，and to attain it，one must first learn to accept oneself as one is．That was where my struggle began．
      Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden．My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway，where I attended a high school．Compared to all the white girls around me，with their golden hair and delicate lips，I ，a black girl，had curly hair and full，red lips．My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it，whatever the weather was．I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying "I'm so different!"
      What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering（口吃），which had weakened my self-confidence．It always stood between me and any fine opportunity．I'd taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions，and unknowingly let it rule over me．
      Fortunately，as I grew older，there came a turning point．One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back．To my astonishment，she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too，and it was in November! "Wow，"I whispered to myself，"this isn't a genetic（遺傳的）disorder after all．It's perfectly normal．" Days later，my life took another twist（轉(zhuǎn)折）．Searching the internet for stuttering cures，I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered．I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me-if I'm smart，I shouldn't allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success．
      Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey，the famous talk show host and writer—she's black too!Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color，I'm practically filled with shame．
      Today，I've grown to accept what I am with pride；it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness．The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me：there's always something fantastic about us，and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it．

五、讀后續(xù)寫(xiě)（選做題：只寫(xiě)思路）

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫(xiě)，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。
      Pumpkin（南瓜） carving at Halloween is a family tradition.We visit a local farm every October.In the pumpkin field，I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin.My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home，and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
      This year，it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother， Jason，was the winner.Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides，but I was determined to prove my point.All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table，with my mum filming the annual event.I??m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter，but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
      With the pumpkin resting on the table，hole uppermost，I bent over and pressed my head against the opening.At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then，as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit，my nose briefly prevented entry.Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork（軟木塞） forced into a bottle.I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
      My excitement was short-lived.The pumpkin was heavy. "I′m going to set it down，now，" I said，and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest.It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in.When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use. "I can't get it out!" I shouted，my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
  注意：
  1.所續(xù)寫(xiě)短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.續(xù)寫(xiě)部分分為兩段，每段的開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)已為你寫(xiě)好。
  Paragraph 1：
  I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer._________________
  Paragraph 2：
  That video was posted the day before Halloween.________________
