阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country,you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week,how you can get along with your fellow students,and so on.These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First,let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like.No matter what your major may be,you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures.Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students,especially at large universities.In lectures,it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks.Also,you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures.So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks;you have to attend lectures as well.In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take.The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures,the reading,and the homework.In large universities,graduate students,called teaching assistants,usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry,or physics,or another science,you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab,or laboratory,doing experiments.This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do.On the other hand,people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
46.The main purpose of this text is__________.
A.to help the students to learn about university life
B.to persuade the students to attend lectures
C.to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D.to advise the students to choose proper majors
解析:该题为概括归纳题，文章第一段中交代了本文的写作目的。
答案:A
47.We can learn from the passage that university professors__________.
A.spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B.must join the students in the discussion sections
C.prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D.require the students to read beyond the textbooks
解析:该题为推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks;you have to attend lectures as well.”两句话可以看出，大量的阅读非常必要。
答案:D
48.A discussion section does NOT include__________.
A.working under the guidance of university professors
B.talking over what the students have read about the courses
C.discussing the problems related to the students’ homework
D.raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
解析:该题为细节判断题，第二段最后几句是信息句。
答案:A
49.According to the author,science majors__________.
A.have to work harder than non-science majors
B.spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C.consider experiments more important than discussions
D.read and write less than non-science majors
解析:根据文章最后一句话作出判断。
答案:D
B
I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)—all those little houses,looking terribly old-fashioned but nice,like dolls’ houses.I loved the countryside and the pubs,and I loved London.I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed.For everybody,England meant gentlemen,fair play,and good manners.The fair play is going,unfortunately,and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places.You’re forced to live indoors.In Paris I go out much more,to restaurants and nightclubs.To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub,and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman.The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman,I feel unsafe here.I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m.I used to use it,but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England.My family is well united and that’s typically French.In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now.His family only lived two miles away,but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
50.The writer doesn’t like London because she__________.
A.is not used to the life there now
B.has lived there for seventeen years
C.prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D.has to be polite to everyone she meets there
解析:第二段首句“Things have changed.”明确点出:我所熟悉或习惯的伦敦已经改变了，变得我不适应了。
答案:A
51.Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A.In a cafe. B.In a restaurant.
C.In a nightclub. D.In a pub.

答案:D
52.The underlined part “it”(in Para.4)refers to__________.
A.a taxi B.the money

53.The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he__________.
A.felt lonely in England
B.had never been to France
C.was from a typical French family
D.didn’t like the British idea of family
解析:参考文章最后一句话。
答案:A

Many of us like cooking but never have much time for it.Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people.It has over 1 000 recipes,from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedish smorgasbord.The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear.(They are like those in the excellent little Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.)The book has a strong plastic cover.It is easy to find your way around it too.And busy people,notice this!Mrs.Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get each dish ready.
Quick Cooking has 4 parts,one for each season.This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper—and,of course,better.There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries,and most of the recipes are easy to follow.You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese,and make an unusual dish out of it.For example,there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs!Mrs.Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”.The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself—or herself.But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book.I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them.For people with little spare time,Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is excellent value.

参考答案：
Dear Bob，
It’s very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city.Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Jiangcheng.
The city stands on the bank of the Changjiang River.It is a beautiful place for people to live in.Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years.New factories,houses and roads have been built.More schools and hospitals are available for its people.However,there are still some problems,such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.In my opinion,Jiangcheng should develop its economy scientifically.I would also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
