Ifyoucompletetheabove,youhaveunderstoodthemainideaofthepassage.TextAHighSchoolvs.CollegeReadingskills:表达文章主题思想的句子即主题句。一般情况下，每段文章都有主题句。而大部分段落的主题句都位于段首，即每段的第一句话。所以，可通过读首段、中间每段首句和最后一段的方法，快速找到文章的主题。因为一般议论文和说明文都要求在第一段提出观点、突出中心，因此首段是文章的总纲，确定了其中心内容。而最后一段常常呼应第一段，总结并强调文章的主题。主题句的位置有4种分别用不同符号表示：每个自然段的第一句，▽；每个自然段的最后一句，△；段落中间，

；有时主题句是两句话，即自然段的第一句和自然段的最后一句，△；有时，主题句隐含在文章中，需要考生从字里行间去体会归纳主题思想，□。一般情况下，演绎性的文章主题句多在段首，而归纳性的文章主题句则常在段尾。主题句出现在段落中间时，作者往往会用一个转折词来引起读者对主题句的注意。TextAHighSchoolvs.CollegeActivity3Fillintheblankswiththeproperformofwordsgiveninbrackets.1.Wehaveallbeenanxious(anxiety)abouthissafetysincehehasgonetothewildforestforatrip.自从他去原始森林旅行，我们就一直为他的安全担心。解析：beanxiousabout/forsth.为……而忧虑/担心析：liketo后通常用动词原形，括号里的词为名词，故需改成动词participate。TextAHighSchoolvs.College2.Helikestoparticipate(participation)inallkindsofactivitiesoncampus.他喜欢参加学校里各种活动。TextAHighSchoolvs.College3.Theexpertanalyzed(analysis)themeatandfounditcontainedtoomuchwater.专家对肉进行了分析，发现含水太多。析：expert是句子的主语，故横线处应为谓语动词，括号里的词为名词，故需改成动词analyze；另外，根据后面found过去时，可判断此处也用过去时，故答案为analyzed。5.Weusuallyfeelmorepleasureand

motivation

(motivate)toworkonwhatwecandobest.我们通常在做能做到最好的工作时能感受到更快乐和更有动力。4.Thisprofessorisfamousforhis

academic

(academic)research.这个教授因其学术研究而闻名。析：research是名词，需用形容词修饰，故需用形容词academic。析：与名词pleasure并列做feel宾语，故答案也同为名词motivation。Activity4TranslatethefollowingsentencesintoEnglish.1.如果你已经有博士学位了，就会更容易找到工作。(Itwillmake…ifyoualready…)Itwillmakeyourfindingajobeasierifyouhaveadoctor’sdegree.2.她不再是一个只懂演戏的不知名的女演员了。(Youarenolonger…whojust…)Youarenolongeranunknownactresswhojustknowsacting.3.既然你已经恢复了健康，就不能再继续像以前那样酗酒了。(Nowthatyou…,youcannolonger…)Nowthatyouhaverecoveredyoucannolongergoondrinkingasbefore.4.虽然你能提前完成任务很好，但重要的是你要保证工作质量。(Whileitisgoodto…,itisimportantthatyou…)Whileitisgoodtofinishthetaskinadvance,itisimportantthatyouensurethequalityofyourwork.5.如果你不努力学习，你很可能通不过期末考试。(Unlessyouare…,youmostlikelywillneedto…)Unlessyouwork/studyhard,youmostlikelywillnotpassthefinalexamination.CultureTips大学社团(CollegeClubs)在美国的大学中，学生们为了增进感情，组成一种社团，若是男生组成的，就被称为兄弟会（fraternity）；女生组成的，则称之为姐妹会（sorority）。入会资格限制得很严，不仅功课要好，其他方面也要很优秀的学生才可入会。在新学期开始的九月左右，会举行招收新会员的晚会或同乐会（rushparty）。每个社团都尽力吸引希望加入的新生，而每个新生也都竭尽所能地一展所长，以争取入会。TextBCopingwiththeStressofStudyingAbroad①Studyingabroadtendstoleadtohomesicknessandcultureshock.②Thefirstsignsofstartingtosettledowninaforeigncountryarenotthatyoustarttofeelcomfortablewiththeplacebutthatyoustarttohateit.Moststudentsbegintothinkwhyonearththeylefthomeinthefirstplace.解析：Thefirstsignsofstartingtosettledowninaforeigncountryarenotthatyoustarttofeelcomfortablewiththeplacebutthatyoustarttohateit.分析:结构not…but…表示“不是……而是……”;此句包含两个表语从句：thatyoustarttofeelcomfortablewiththeplace和thatyoustarttohateit。③Howtocopewithhomesickness?④Forastart,talktootherpeopleaboutyourplace;tellthemaboutthesimilaritiesanddifferencesbetweenyourcountryandtheirs.⑤Talktoyourinternationalstudentadvisorsaboutyourproblems.Everyworthwhilecollegehasadvisorswhoaremorethanwillingtolistentotheproblemsofforeignstudents.Goodadvisorsaremorethanhappytochatwithnewstudentsandtoseehowtheycanhelpthemgetovertheirproblems.⑥Takepartinallcollegeprogramsandtogetinvolvedincollegelifeasquicklyaspossible.Mostcollegeshaveprogramsdesignedtohelpinternationalstudentsbringtheirculturetothecollege.⑦Meetingotherinternalstudentsisagoodwayofdealingwiththeproblemandgettingoveryourhomesickness.⑧Thesecondproblemiscultureshock,asatfirsteverythinginthenewcountryseemsunusualandprettysoonthenewplacebecomesoverwhelming.Moststudentsarenotamusedwhentheytrytobuysomethingandtheshopkeeperdoesnotunderstandtheiraccent.Studentsgetlosteverytimetheyleavetheirhousesjustbecausethenewneighborhoodseemsstrange.⑨Soon,internationalstudentsrealizethattheyliveinadifferentcountryandthattheyHAVEtolearnquicklyhowthesystemworks,whichmeansthatthestudentnolongerstandsoutclearlyasaforeigner.⑩Gettingtoknowthelocalsisagreathelpastheyareapartofthesystemandcanprovidethestudentwithvaluabletipsonhowtodealwithavarietyofissues.⑪Gettingtoknowthe(new)townverywellhelpsstudentsgetaroundeasilyandmakesthemfeelmoreathome.Readingcomprehension:Decidewhetherthefollowingstatementsaretrue(T)orfalse(F)1.Onarrivinginaforeigncountry,youstarttofeelcomfortablewiththeplace.2.Newstudentscanasktheirinternationalstudentadvisorsforadvice.3.Everycollegehasprogramsdesignedtohelpinternationalstudents.4.Cultureshockmeansbeingafraidoflivinginorvisitinganothercountry.5.It’shelpfulforinternationalstudentstoknowwellthelocalsandthetown.TextCFirstWeekofBeingaCollegeStudentThistextisdesignedtoexpandstudents’readingandvocabulary.Nowordsandexpressionsarelisted.Studentscanself-studyitwiththehelpofadictionary.Teachercangivethemsomeassignments.TextCFirstWeekofBeingaCollegeStudentDuringthefirstweekofbeingacollegestudent…OfCourseYouAreOverwhelmed.Youareabouttoleaveyourhome.Itmaybeagreatadventure,andyouwillfinallyhaveyourownplace.Youcanhangpicturesofanythinganywhereyouwant.Noonewillseethemagazinesunderyourbedunlessyousharethem.Youcanlistentoanymusicyouwant,andeveryonewillmostlikelyloveit!Nobodyisnaggingyoutoeatheathily,orworryingifyourclothesareironedandputaway.Youcantakeashoweroryoudon’thaveto.Youcancomeinat1:00a.m.Whocares?Thiswillbefantastic!!!Thefirstnightyoudon’tsleepsowell.Youthinkit’sthebed.Youarenotusedtoa“cot”.Youarenotsureyouareeatingwell.Maybethat’swhyyouarefeelinganxious.Youarestartingtowonderwhatmomanddadaredoing.Youdecidetotextthembuttheydon’tanswerrightaway.Wherecouldtheybe?Theyarealwayshome.Thesearejustafewthoughtsracingthroughyourheadthefirstweekofcollege.Didyoubiteofftoomuch?Areyougoingtobeabletosucceed?Youfeelsomepanicasyouknownotallofthesefirstyearstudentswillmakeitthroughthefirstyear.Youbegintoremembersomeofthepointersyouheardmomanddadgiveyoubeforeyoubeginyourfirstyear.Collegecanbeoverwhelmingattimes,butitisalsooneofthemostexcitingtimeinyourlife.Rememberthefirstthreeweeksofalife-stylechangeareusuallytheroughest.Itwillhelpyoualottodowhathasbroughtcomforttoyouinthepast,orfocusonreadingandlearningnewskills.Thiswillhelpyoualottogetusedtothecollegelife.Grammar（AdjectivesandAdverbs)(一)形容词的用法形容词是用来修饰或限定名词或代词的词。它可以用来描述人或事物的性质、状态和特征，在句中可以作定语、表语和补语，如：Heissuchanhonestpersonthatwealltrusthim.他很诚实，我们大家都信任他。（作定语）ItisimportantforcollegestudentstomasterEnglish.掌握英语对大学生们来说是重要的。（作表语）Theevidenceprovedhiminnocent.证据证明他是无辜的。（作补语）2.形容词后置在下列情况下，形容词通常位于被修饰词之后：1)当形容词修饰由some,any,every,no等词构成的不定代词时，如：Anyoneresponsiblecanbeinchargeofthisproject.任何有责任感的人都能负责这个项目。2)当充当定语的是形容词短语时，如：Theyarelookingforemployeesgoodatcomputer.他们正在招聘擅长计算机的员工。3)当形容词与表示度量的词或词组连用时，如：tenmeterslong，twoyearsold，tenfeetdeep(三)多个形容词前置作定语时的排列顺序多个形容词修饰名词时，其顺序为：限定词——数词——描绘词(短词在前长词在后)——表特征的形容词（大小，长短，形状，新旧，颜色）——出处——表类属的形容词（专有形容词，表材料和质地的形容词），如：thatblackAmericancar，asmallroundwoodentable，abeautifulgreensilkydress(一)副词的用法副词是一种用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或全句的词，说明时间、地点、程度、方式等概念。副词在句中主要充当状语，有时也可以用作表语和补语，如：Itissnowingoutside;you’dbetterdrivecarefully.外面在下雪，你最好小心驾驶。（作状语）Nobodywashomeyesterday.昨天家里没有人。（作表语）Iwanttoaskyououttonight.我今晚想约你出去。（作补语）(二)副词的位置副词在句中的位置比较灵活，现将几种常见情况归纳如下：1.副词修饰动词时通常位于动词之后，如有宾语则位于宾语之后（如果宾语部分较长，副词也可以放在动词与宾语之间），如：Youshoulddoyourhomeworkcarefully.你应该认真做作业。2.表示否定或频度的副词通常置于普通动词之前，但要放在助动词，系动词之后，如：Ialwaysgotovisitmyparentsatweekends.我总是在周末去看望父母。3.副词修饰形容词或副词通常放在该形容词或副词的前面，如：Iamparticularlycuriousaboutthisstrangephenomenon.我对于这种奇怪的现象尤其感到好奇。注：enough修饰形容词或副词时，位于被修饰的形容词或副词之后。4.修饰全句的副词通常位于句首，有时也可以放在句尾，如：UnfortunatelyIfailedintheexam.很遗憾，我考试没及格。(三)多个副词的排列顺序1.多个时间副词或地点副词连用时，要遵循小单位在前，大单位在后的原则，如：IcametotheUnitedStatesinDecember1990.我于1990年12月来到美国。2.多个方式副词连用时，短的在前，长的在后，并用and，but等连词连接，如:Acalculatorcancalculatefastandcorrectly.计算器算得又快又准。3.不同类别的副词连用时，要遵循程度副词——地点副词——方式副词——时间副词的顺序，如：HewasborninBeijingtwentyyearsago.他20年前出生于北京。(一)比较级和最高级
