After 24 years I decided that I wanted to return to school and earn a degree. Some told me that it was too late. Others told me that I was too old. My heart told me that if it were meant to be that God would make it happen. One day while looking up information on how to go about getting into college, a little window popped up on my screen. It said, “Do you think you are too old to go back to school？” I clicked on the box and there I found an online college. I spoke to someone in the school and they assisted me in getting loans to pay for it. They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted. I also found out that I could attend classes from home so that I could be there for my son. Now today, almost 2 years later, I will be not only graduating but graduating with honors. So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible, remember this: if I would have listened to those people who told me I couldnt do it, then today would just be Saturday.第二部分阅读理解(满分40分，限时35分钟)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AI started to learn English from the first grade. That year I was six. In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I dont have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new words that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”， he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America. I attended a couple years of high school, and now Im in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isnt good and Im still using basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.21In Grade One, the author admired that classmate because he _.Acould speak two languagesBhad a very wide vocabularyCoften led the whole class to readDknew about the earth and the sun解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.”可知，答案应选D项。22How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?AMoved.BInterested.CDisappointed. DRelaxed.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段的“In junior high school .still basic greetings.”可推断，作者当时很失望。23What do we learn about the author now?AShe is looked down upon by others.BShe still isnt very fluent in English.CShe has no chance to speak Chinese now.DShe likes practicing English through telling long stories.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第五段的However后面的内容可推断，作者现在英语还不是很流利。24The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author _.Adidnt live a very difficult lifeBliked her new school very muchClearned English in a different wayDhad to learn simple English all over again解析：选D句意理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，作者进入初中后英语又得从头学习，而画线句子的意思是：进入高中后还是这样，故选D项。BThough in a digital age, college students nowadays are still holding fast to traditional books. According to the National Association of College Stores, digital books make up just under 3% of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10% to 15% by 2014 as more titles are made available as ebooks. However, threequarters of the students, who grew up learning from print books, say that they are unwilling to give up the ability to turn over quickly between chapters, write in the edges and highlight passages.The new technology has produced various options for students. College Booksellers, which operates 636 campus bookstores nationwide, is now marketing its new software application, which allows students to read etextbooks on PCs. The company introduced the free application last summer in hopes of attracting more students to buy its electronic textbooks. “Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it，” said the companys vice president.But not every textbook is available in digital or rental format. Generally, an etextbook is cheaper than a used book, though more expensive than a rental. The expense of college textbooks has become a great concern and teachers from over 40 colleges nationwide are encouraged to assign texts that are less expensive, or to offer them free online. As the buyback price drops greatly and quickly, some professors suggest that the book stores should not have the last say and there should be something for students to decide by themselves.语篇解读：本文为说明文。虽然现在已经进入数字时代，但大多数大学生仍然钟爱传统纸质书籍。25College students prefer traditional books mainly because they _.Awant to keep the ability of reading print booksBhave the habit of turning over quickly between pagesCfind it interesting to keep notes in the edges of booksDfeel more relaxed to read print materials解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“由于从小就用纸质书籍学习，因此有四分之三的学生不愿放弃在章节间迅速翻动，在空白处写字，标注文章。”可知答案为A。26Which of the following is NOT true according to the 2nd paragraph?ACollege Booksellers operates more than 600 bookstores in campus.BThe free application was introduced to increase sales of electronic textbooks.CCampus students now fancy a try of the free software application.DThe companys management still has to do more to sell the ebooks.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it .”可知在校学生并没有表示出对这款免费软件有所钟爱，故答案为C项。27We can learn from the passage that _.Asecondhand books are cheaper than rental booksBall the textbooks have both the digital and rental formatsCthe price totally determines the students selection of booksDthe price of buyback books is determined by book stores解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章最后一句(随着回购价的急剧下降，一些教授建议对于图书回购价书店不应该有最后的定价权，回购价应该由学生自己决定)可见目前图书回购价格是由书店决定的。28The best title for the text would be _.AAddiction to Traditional BooksBPrint Books in a Digital WorldCMore Texts in Digital FormatDBook Price Drops Sharply and Quickly解析：选B标题归纳题。文章是以数字时代纸质书籍在学生中的地位为线索展开的，故本篇文章的题目为：数字世界的纸质书籍。CWondering which New York City museums to see first?

And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as nonsmokers. The study involved more than seventy 18 to 25yearolds and included a tour of the universitys campus.Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as music acts listed to play at the students union and tasks completed at various points known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.Dr Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria Universitys Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in antismoking campaigns. He said：“Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many 45 million in the United States, its important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive function of which prospective memory is an excellent example.”“This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knockon benefits for cognitive functions too.”The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr Heffernan and Dr Terence ONeill will look into the effects of thirdhand smoking toxins (毒素) left on curtains and furniture.32What does the passage mainly talk about?ASmoking does harm to health.BSmoking can affect ones memory.CSmokers take a tour to the universitys campus.DSmokers are compared to nonsmokers.解析：选B主旨大意题。文章第一句是主题句，即“研究人员称，吸烟者会丧失约1/3的日常记忆。”由此可见，本文讲的是吸烟对记忆力的影响。33When asked to recall small details, _.Asmokers performed very wellBnonsmokers could recall about half of themCsmokers did the worst among the participantsDthose who gave up smoking did best解析：选C细节理解题。第三段中提到，研究人员请那些参与者回忆一些细节，那些吸烟者表现很差，只记得59%的任务。但那些戒烟者记得74%的任务，从未吸过烟的人记得81%的任务。即吸烟者表现最差。3
