Ⅴ.阅读理解

In 2011, a law was born.A type of ladybug (瓢虫) became the state insect of North Dakota.When the governor signed the bill into law, four kids stood behind him.These second－grade students had helped create a law!

Jaden McNeiley, Logan Redding, Megan Zimmer, and Isabel Sieg were in first grade when their idea for a law was born.They were studying the ladybug in school.

Megan and Logan were farm kids and knew something about the ladybug already.They knew that farmers had a problem with crop－eating pests called aphids (蚜虫) and that ladybugs ate aphids.The more ladybugs were around, the fewer chemicals the farmers had to use.

The kids were reading an article on the computer when they saw a link that led to a list of state insects.They clicked on the link and couldn’t believe their eyes.North Dakota did not have a state insect!

The kids decided that a kind of ladybug called the convergent lady beetle should be their state insect.This ladybug was of great benefit to their farming state and it deserved a place of honor.But they had no idea how to create a law.So they asked their teacher for help.Their teacher knew their local state representative.When they all met, the representative told the kids they would have to present facts and solid reasons to convince lawmakers that North Dakota needed the ladybug as its state insect.

The students spent much of that first grade spring researching ladybugs.Their teacher ordered ladybug larvae (幼虫)．They watched the larvae develop into adults.To learn more, they talked to scientists who study insects.The children say their research was hard work and they loved it.“Even if we hadn’t gotten what we wanted，” says Jaden, “even if the bill hadn’t passed, it was worth it.”

The students want everyone to know that kids can make a difference.“Whether you are 8 or 80，” says Isabel, “you have a voice in your community.” “Believe in your dreams，” say Jaden and Megan.“But make sure you are ready to do work to back them up！” adds Logan.

Tips for writing the college essay

While some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college essay, others fail to see the importance of it.__1__ Creating the college essay is supposed to be a fun, and exciting task.It is a process of self-discovery.Some helpful tips：

1．Have fun！__2__Relax, breathe and realize that this is the time to expose a side of you that a transcript (学生成绩单) cannot.

2．__3__The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic.Stay away from volunteer work, your dead dog and vacations.Admission counselors (入学辅导员) see thousands of essays a month; make sure your essay is distinct to your experience and personality.Do not focus on what you think they want you to write, but what is actually significant to you.

3．Don’t try to make yourself a victim. Although it is effective to appeal to the emotions of an admission counselor, I do not recommend writing an essay about sad stories.Self－pity can be annoying, and most admission counselors do not want that to be their first impression of you.The only exception to this is if you have an inspiring struggle that you overcame.__4__

4．Your essay is not a longer version of your resume (简历)．If you sent in a resume, there is absolutely no need to restate what is on it.Many students like bragging (吹嘘) about how much they do.It is amazing that you are involved, but admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume.__5__

Good luck on your college essay!

A．It was received well by many.

B．Don’t settle for basic—be creative!

C．When you get upset, it is reflected in your work.

D．You can talk about how a work changed your life.

E．They want to see aspects of you that cannot be shown on a resume.

F．In some cases, these 600 words determine an acceptance or a rejection.

G．Make sure that the story is focused on your growth, not on the struggle.

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章是写大学申请论文的几点建议。

1．F　[F项与上文的see the importance of it相呼应。]

2．C　[C项与本段小标题及下文的Relax, breathe相呼应，说明学生要让自己在心情好的情况下写大学申请论文，并从中找到乐趣。]

3．B　[由下文的The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic...but what is actually significant to you可知，本段主要是说大学申请论文的内容要避免老套的话题，应该体现自己的独特性。故B项恰当。]

4．G　[G项与上文的have an inspiring struggle that you overcame相呼应。]

5．E　[E项与上文的admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume相呼应。]

Ⅶ.语法填空

Nearly all of us have dreamed about winning the big prize in a lottery (彩票)．We dream about __1__we would do with the money, but we __2__(rare) stop to think about how the money would change us.

For most of us, our way of life is closely linked __3__our economic circumstances.The different parts of our lives fit together like a jigsaw (拼图)—work, home, friends, hobbies, and sports make __4__our world.A sudden fortune would change it all and break the jigsaw.For example, most people like the idea of not __5__(have) to work, but winners have found that without work there is no reason to get up in the morning.It seems great __6__(move) to a bigger house in a(n) __7__(wealth) area, but if you do that, you leave old friends behind.

Usually, winners __8__(advise) not to publicize their addresses and phone numbers, but begging letters still arrive.__9__they are not careful, most of their money will be spent on the __10__(protect) of their homes and swimming pools and their mental health!

答案　1.what　[考查连接词。设空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作动词do的宾语，故填what。]

2．rarely　[考查副词。设空处修饰动词stop，故填rarely。]

3．to/with　[考查介词。be linked to/with是固定短语，意为“与……有联系”。]

4．up　[考查副词。make up意为“组成，构成”。]

5．having　[考查动词－ing形式作宾语的用法。介词后面要跟动词－ing形式。]

6．to move　[考查不定式作主语的用法。It在此是形式主语，故用不定式短语作真实主语。]

7．wealthy　[考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处修饰名词area，故填wealthy。]

8．are advised　[考查一般现在时的被动语态。从全文的时态可知，此处应是一般现在时，并且winners和advise之间是被动关系，所以用are advised。]

9．If/When　[考查连词。设空处引导条件状语从句，故填If/When。]

10．protection　[考查名词。设空处前有the，故应用protect的名词形式。]
