Hey there,
So you're about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents' money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever consider why you're going?
Relax. You're making the right decision. First of all, you'll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. It's hard to decide whether you want to be a painter if you've never painted any pictures, until you're in a drawing-room on campus. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you'll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
*Researching Schools. The most important decision you'll make is to choose the school that really suits your best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.
*Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.
*Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admission(录取) course. It's not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college instead of learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you'll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!”I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,”he said.
So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience, I learned it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the“shock of my life.”
57．The underlined word“disregard”in the second paragraph means“___________.”
A．pay no attention to B．take notice of C．consider D．follow

A．he was sure there would be nothing to happen
B．he knows electricity can’t travel through wood
C．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go home
59．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．But for his boots, the writer would have died.
B．The writer regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.
C．The writer knew nothing about electricity.
D．When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right.
60．The author wrote the passage mainly to .
A．give an account of one of his terrible experiences
B．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experience

D
Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people．In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school．
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America．In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud．It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion．However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community．Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual．Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life．
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three factors：poets, teachers, and we ourselves．Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem．Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry．Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged．
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers．They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles．
53. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because___________．
A. it built a link among people                                 B. it helped unite a community
C. it was a source of self-education                           D. it was a source of pleasure
54. The underlined word “diversion” most probably means “___________”．
A. concentration            B. change                            C. amusements              D. stories
55. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry．
B. Students are poorly educated in high school．
C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry．
D. Poems have become difficult to understand．
56. In the last paragraph, the writer question___________．
A. the difficulty in studying poems              B. the way poems are taught in school
C. students’ wrong ideas about poetry             D. the techniques used in writing poem

“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (婴儿包) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she held her breath—the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.
One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy … called me—a f-…freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.
The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could transplant on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated ,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” said the father.
The operation was brilliantly successfull. His talents blossomed into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交) service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know … not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come … one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(灵柩). Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.
49.The story is mainly about _______.
A．how a boy had new ears through an operation
B．what a devoted parent privately did for the child
C．how a disabled boy turned into a useful person
D．why a donator made a sacrifice to a bright boy
50.From the first paragraph we know that the mother _______.
A．was determined to donate her ears to perfect her son
B．kept her husband unknown about the baby’s situation
C．felt shocked and disappointed to see her new baby
D．complained of her bad luck to have a disabled child
51.What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The agreement was between the donator and the family.
B．The boy was so popular that he was made class president.
C．Finally the boy came to know who the donator was.
D．The mother donated her ears to her son after she died.
52.What moral lesson can we draw from this reading?
A．Real love lies in what is done unknown rather than what is done known.
B．It is up to parents to help their children heart and soul.
C．True beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance.
D．It is a virtue for young generations to learn to be grateful.

B
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I couldn’t do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been with at school all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
45．How do you understand ‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,…’？
A．People don’t communicate without telephone.
B．People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C．People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D．People communicate more because of more traffic.
46．Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
a．Point 1． b．Point2．   c．Point3．   d．Point 4．   e．Point 5．
A．c, d B．a, e C．a, c D．b, e
47．It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through        .
A．the TV screen              B．a fax machine
C．the phone line hooked up to the computer     D．a microphone
48．The best heading for the passage is .
A．Phone Power                 B．Kinds of Phone
C． How to Use Phones          D．Advantage of Phones
