And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around. The first 17 frightened me in the beginning. But that 18 quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 19 ended up being my difficulties. I knew that it was hard to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to 20 in both. I knew this would be a 21 , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began. I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 22 , instead of finishing my homework 23 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grade I 24 showed my lack of effort. I was 25 that I needed to find some sort of balance. So I created a schedule that would 26 my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, but I was only able to 27 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure. So I tried another 28 . Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had time. This is the method I have used since then.

But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled----to $1.01 per pack---smokers have jammed telephone ‘quit lines’ across the country seeking to kick the habit. This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase. The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely. In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78. The influence is obvious. In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys----13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26 % of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records. Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.” That’s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. 31. The text is mainly about___________. A the price of cigarettes B the rate of teen smoking C the effect of tobacco tax increase D the differences in tobacco tax rate 32. What does the author think is a surprise? A Teen smokers are price sensitive. B Some states still keep the tobacco tax low. C Tobacco taxes improve public health. D Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise. 33. The underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 3 most probably means . A. discourage B. remove C. benefit D. free 34. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of . A. tolerance B. unconcern C. doubt D. sympathy 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run. B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill. C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking. D. Adults will depend more on their families. B People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", i.e., they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces. Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability. In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反；侵犯）of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes. Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level. Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships. Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society. 36. A “developmental" disability ______. A. develops very slowly over time B. is caused by forces C. occurs in youth and affects development D. is getting more and more severe 37．Most disabled people used to die early because ______. A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions B. they were not very well looked after C. medical techniques were not available D. they were too poor to get proper treatment 38. In the author's opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, ______. A．more laws should be passed B．public attitudes should be changed C．government should provide more aids D．more public facilities should be set up 39. Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ? A．Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life. B．The public tends to look down upon the disabled people. C．The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them. D． Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. 40. The best title for this passage might be ______. A．Handicaps（不利条件；障碍；）of People with Disabilities B．The physical difficulties of the Disabled C．The Causes for Disabilities D．Medical Treatments for Disabilities C The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world. These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount. Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.” He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy. Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure（基础设施） costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology. “The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.” Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion. The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water. Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used. At present, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush. The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 Yuan each. In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation. Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment. At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan. 41．People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _______now. A．the underground B．the rain C．the Yangtze River D．the Huangpu River 42．According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water because . A．the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water B．about half of waste water has been treated already C．advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible D．there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present 43．The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to . A．make people’s living more convenient B．improve people’s living standards C．ease employment pressure D．meet the total demand of water 44．Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water? a．improve drinking water quality b．change some industrial structure c．introduce or use some new technology d．speed the economic development of Shanghai e．renovate some family toilets f．build more sewage treatment factories A．a, b, c, d B．b, c, e, f C．b, c, d, e D．a, b, e, f 45．We can infer from the passage that . A．the boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the future B．citizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the world C．not everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortage D．all the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years IV. 语法填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或 使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 1-１0 的相应位置上。 Many Chinese students studying abroad like to stay with host families to learn their language and culture.
