Reading Comprehension（共30分）Section A: Timed Reading (每小题1分，共10分)Directions: In this section, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage qui

31、ckly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。I started Emerson College in the fall of 1998 with aspirations of becoming a writer. In the weeks before the start of my freshman year, I prepped myself. I bought all the stuff I needed, packed everything I wanted, and said goodbye

32、to my former life. I was ready to embrace my future. Getting to Emerson was easy; driving five hours from New Jersey to Boston, unpacking my things into my small single dorm room, and getting the required books for class. However, actually, surviving my first year at Emerson was the real challenge.

33、During my senior year of high school, my parents started the long process of their divorce. The period between agreeing to divorce and signing legal documents didnt involve one of them moving out of the house. Instead, my dad moved across the hall into the spare room. At night, the house was filled

34、with their screaming. I slept in the garage-turned bedroom so my nights were sometimes calm, but my younger sister slept inches away. Some nights she would come to my room to escape the yelling. I remember watching her as she slept, feeling guilty for wanting to leave her behind. I had to go. I had

35、to get away. I couldnt take it anymore. Things between my parents heated up and my mother spent most of the weeks away. I took care of my sister, making sure she ate well, got to school on time, and did her homework. I was cooking not only for myself, but also for her and my dad as well. On top of e

36、verything, I had to find a way to pay for my not so inexpensive college education. During the day, I spent hours on the phone between my dad, my mom and Emerson. Combined, my parents made too much money. Financial aid only covered one third of the cost. The rest had to come from my parents. My dad w

37、as reluctant. The issues my father and I never faced as I was growing up began to surface and the “daddys little girl” relationship started to disappear. For reasons unknown to anyone but my dad, he was not willing to help pay for my college education at Emerson. By the end of the summer I could no

38、longer trust the words coming out of his mouth. During heated fights he would tell my mother she wouldnt see any money from him for my college expenses. At the same time, he would be on the phone with me telling me that the money was on its way. I attended my first year because of my mom, who did ev

39、erything necessary so I could at least start the next phase of my life. I started Emerson feeling guilty and excited. I felt bad for leaving my family behind but at the same time glad to finally be leaving. As I soon learned, the problems I was running away from quickly caught up with me. Throughout

40、 the year I was given weekly updates on what was happening at home- the fight between my mom and dad, along with my guilt, began to affect me. I became sad for myself and my family. I had spent most of my freshman year in bed sleeping. The worse things got at home, the more I slept. It was easier fo

41、r me to escape the outside world rather than deal with it. The world in my head was better. When I slept, my dreams were better. In my dreams, all I ever wanted was real. In my dreams, my family was a family again. As children, were taught to distinguish the differences between the real and the imag

42、inary. At that time, the imaginary world was better than the real one. I need the better. I passed the year with a C average and returned to a new house just a few miles away from my old house. The summer turned into a bad run. The new school year was coming and again there was the issue of money. H

43、ow were we going to pay for it? As a last effort, I took my dad to court. It was the only way we could think of to get his help. My dad was ordered to pay 5,000 dollars, fifty percent of what it could cost to go to a community college in Jersey. Getting him to pay the money was harder than expected

44、and I was pulled out of Emerson. From that moment on, I realized my dad could not be counted on. It was a lesson that even now pains me. The closeness we once shared would never be the same. I knew if I was going to get what I wanted I would have to fight for it without him by my side. My first year

45、 was not everything I had hoped it would be. The year brought about many changes in my life and started my early independence, but it taught me a lot about myself. Most of all it taught me that I have the strength to see anything through. 71. When did the author started her education at Emerson Coll

My friends and I laughed and called each other hamburger and biscuit. Our teacher was trying to teach us the importance of eati

54、ng the right food to stay healthy. It has long been believed that food has an impact on our physical and emotional health. Now, we have proof. When you know the effects of different types of food, you can choose to eat what you want to become. Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have r

55、ead about or have been told by older relatives. Sometimes this advice is contradictory. A friend might say eating chocolate makes you fat. A magazine article might mention that chocolate contains magnesium, a chemical that makes people feel happier. What we need to figure out is what type of chocola

56、te to eat to get the benefits and how much of it to eat. We can do this by reading the list of ingredients on the chocolate bar wrapper. Exactly how much real chocolate is in there? And how much of that do we need to eat to get the benefits without the side effects? Future restaurants might be named after the physical or emotional state they hope to cre
