Dear Daughter,
As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament (證明) of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life, the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever.
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy, don't be bothered by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make true friends and be happy. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities.
Start planning early what you'd like to do. Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you'll love it!
So please treasure your college years - make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, and learn through your successes and challenges.
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you grow into just what you dream to be.
Love

小題1:A 推理題。本文是一位父親寫給女兒的信，從信的內(nèi)容我可以看出父親對女兒的深深的愛和關(guān)心。故A正確。
小題2:B 推理題。根據(jù)本句So please treasure your college years - make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny,說明是父親下文女兒能夠珍惜大學(xué)生活，成為一個獨立的思考者并能夠控制住自己的生活。故B正確。不可能的體重，職位和時間。

About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images（影像）. It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.
However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Music.B．Radio.C．Sound.D．Television.
小題2:People like to watch TV because _______.
A．it has headphones to listen to the news
B．they can drive while watching TV
C．it has both sounds and images
D．they can watch with their ears
小題3:We learn from the passage that _______.
A．people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime
B．television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now
C．a(chǎn) radio is more expensive than a television
D．people can use headphones to read books

Children today would rather toy with new technologies. The role of children has changed as well as that of teens. The world has truly evolved (進(jìn)化）throughout the years.
Today，a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. A few decades ago children used to work. They did the kind of work parents do today. Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. They think they have to look perfect all the time.
Teens have changed as well. My grandma got married when she was thirteen. Girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean，take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. Today，we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. Then we go home and do homework, and eat. After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.
The generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. They say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.
小題1:The role of children and teens has changed mainly because _____.
A．new technologies are developing and widely used
B．they don't have to work hard as their parents did
C．their world has truly evolved
D．they look perfect all the time
小題2:The underlined phrase (in the 2nd Para. ) probably means to _____.
A．put up with B．make up for C．put aside D．cover up
小題3:We can learn from the text that nowadays teenagers _____.
A．do housework as their parents did
B．a(chǎn)re having a social life in richer ways
C．a(chǎn)re seldom satisfied with what they have
D．don't appreciate and value life

This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.
But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (陰影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (爐子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (煩躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
小題1:What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A．It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night.
B．This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma.
C．Bryan would have a good rest that night.
D．Bryan would stay with his parents that night.
小題2:Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?
A．She was too tired to have fun or play games with him.
B．She was sick and wanted to have a good rest.
C．She was too busy and had to work overtime that night.
D．She had to prepare soup for the whole family.
小題3:How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?
A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.
小題4:From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A．Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma
B．Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him
C．the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more
D．the author and her grandson loved each other very much
