22、ies, joined thedebating societyand,well, I did some work too but I must admit mylecturerswereverypatient with mytardiness（拖拉）.Its easy to look back at our university daysthrough rose-tinted spectaclesbut the truth is that when we first arrived oncampus, most of us wereout of our comfort zone.In fact

23、, a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 studentsexperiencehigh levels of stress, or a mentalhealthcondition, during their time atcollege. The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those thatexperiencestress do so at least once a

24、week, and 9% of students feel stressed constantly.Kirsty, a student at Exeter University, didnt enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I dont think Id realized that Id forgotten how to make friends. Id been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I wa

25、s trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age.”Dr Ruth Caleb of thecounseling serviceat Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain t

26、hings that I think it would beveryhelpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on being able to cook.Budgetingis extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on

27、 your own comfortably.”I graduatedand learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire somelife skillsbefore they make the big jump.41.

28、ositive perspectivesC. negative sidesD. flower-like tools42. What did Kirsty find most difficult to do during her first days in college?A. Not knowing how to make new friends.B.

30、m the passage?A. During the first few days at college for new students, most of them felt comfortable.B. According to a survey, most students at Imperial College London suffered from stress at college.C. The lecturers are always tolerant of college students improper behavior.D. Acquiring some life s

31、kills isnt that important to new students.45. What does the author probably mean by saying “I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way”?A. He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus.B. He graduated from college with many achievements.C. It might hav

32、e taken him some time to get used to college life.D. It might have made him proud by leading an independent life at college.BHow do you spend your time? To get it, Paul T. Rankin asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. H

33、e discovered that 70 percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only communication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success. New word

34、s make us better thinkers as well as communicators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary? But how? Hybrid (杂交产生的) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maxi

35、mum results. Thats why you should use the CPD formula. Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84 percent said, “Look it up in the dictionary.” If you do, however, you short-circuit the very mental proce

36、sses needed to make your efforts most productive. But theres another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word “fast” means. You answer, “speedy or swift”. But does it mean that in such context as “fast color” or “fast friend”? And if a horse is fast, is it securely tied or galloping at top spe

37、ed? It could be either. It all depends. On the dictionary? No, on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for “fast” in the dictionary. But the dictionary doesnt tell you which meaning is intended. Thats why it makes such good sense to begin with context. Through Word Parts.

38、 Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word “monolithic” for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono-, meaning “one”, and the root lith, meaning “stone”. Finally, theres the suf

39、fix ic, meaning “consisting of”. Those three parts add up to this definition: “consisting of one stone”. To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14,000 w

40、ords. With those amazingly useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snails pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time. Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. Youve looked carefully at the conte

41、xt. Youve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative (不确定的) definition should you open the dictionary

42、 to see if youre right. You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected, what a fe

43、eling of accomplishment is yours. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness. Well, there it is, your new formula Context, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will be like the money in the bank. 46. The research findings of the Human Engineering Laborator

44、ies show that _.A. intelligence and vocabularies are closely related B. income and vocabularies are closely related C. people of large vocabularies are bound to succeed in the futureD. vocabulary is of great importance to a students academic performance 47. What would most college students do while

45、coming across an unfamiliar word?A. Seek help from others.B. Infer the meaning through context.C. Look for familiar word parts.D. Consult the dictionary. 48. What does “monolingual” mean according to the passage? A. Involving only one language.B. Using two languages. C. Speaking or using many langua

46、ges.D. Involving more than one language.49. This passage is meant to teach readers how to _.A. use the dictionaryB. build up vocabulary through contextC. extend vocabulary with the help of dictionariesD. enlarge vocabulary by means of the CPD formulaCThe Chinese put up with a lot living in the world

47、s most populous country: standing on over-crowded trains for 40 hours; sleeping outside hospitals to secure a doctors appointment; waiting more than a year to earn a drivers license.Add getting a U.S. entry visa to the list. Applicants here have waited as long as 60 days to secure an appointment at

48、one of five U.S. consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas. There, theyre often greeted by long lines, followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds.Now there are only about 100 U.S. visa officers in China, facing considerable challenges during the summer wh

49、en tourists and students travel the most. “Its not easy work,” Charles Bennett, minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, said to his staff. “Youre making, in some cases, life-changing decisions many times a day, and that can cause great tiredness.”To adapt, US consular

50、 services expanded their hours, took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20 officers by spring. More facilities are also being expanded.Despite the shocking numbers, the embassy remains dogged by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly

51、burdensome. “Im fed up,” said Wendy Liu, 24. The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable. “Ill go anywhere but the U.S. now,” she said. “I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom.”To visi

52、t the US, Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely theyll return to China. The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas.Student visas can be refused on grounds of national sec

53、urity. Beijing native Tan Ge, 25, believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application. He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University.By its very nature, the on-the-

54、spot process at the U.S. Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants, who are asked to take their bank statements, property deeds（房产证）, marriage licenses and HUKOU, a Chinese household ID.“It made me feel very uncomfortable,” said Xu Yong, 28, a journalist who needed a business visa last month

55、 to cover a conference in New York. “They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good.”After giving his fingerprints, Xu waited to be called for his interview, sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library. Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century.After an hou

56、r, Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview. Two were rejected before his turn. Then the American officer, speaking fluent Chinese, reached for Xus paperwork, asked some simple questions and said, “Congratulations.”“I was so nervous. The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed,” Xu said. “She was the one who warned me
