Every freshman for matriculation must agree with the following belief by signing the Matriculation Registration Form:‎ I promise to observe the Statutes and Ordinances of the University as far as they concern me, and to pay due respect and obedience to the Chancellor and other officers of the University.‎ ‎1. Who will be interested in this text?‎ A. Senior high students. B. Junior high students.‎ C. Primary school students. D. New university students.‎ ‎2. What can you get from the Pre-arrival Freshers’ Events?‎ A. Registration and ceremony activities.‎ B. Suggestions for the coming college life.‎ C. Current students and alumni’s agreements.‎ D. Accommodation and similar related details.‎ ‎3. What is the aim of signing the Matriculation Registration Form?‎ A. To make their arrival at Cambridge as free as possible.‎ B. To complete the University’s Registration exercise.‎ C. To have the students obey the school rules.‎ D. To mark the formal admission of a student.‎ B One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works.‎ A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I moved on.‎ I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.‎ I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing ‎ some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.‎ ‎“He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”‎ ‎“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”‎ ‎“Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”‎ I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.‎ And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.‎ ‎4. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.‎ B. The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his own ‎ jacket.‎ C. The husband was considered a brave man by the clerk at the store.‎ D. The husband allowed blindness to change his life.‎ ‎5. The underlined word “encountered” in the passage means “________”.‎ A. cheated B. met C. talked D. argued ‎6. We can infer from the passage that ___________.‎ A. the man had his eyes blinded in a fight B. the man can see very well while visiting the museum C. the woman was very patient and devoted to his husband D. the man often wasted time by visiting exhibitions C University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram ‎ account will remind you when there are new photos.‎ These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.‎ ‎“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”‎ I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.‎ People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”‎ Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that ‎ social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”‎ You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.‎ ‎7. The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”‎ A. avoiding B. choosing C. using D. adding ‎8. Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?‎ A. She hates to share everything with others.‎ B. She hopes her personal information is safe.‎ C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.‎ D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.‎ ‎9. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?‎ A. She is completely against them. B. She herself refuses to use them.‎ C. She is completely for them. D. She is objective.‎ D People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. They brought different dialects （方言）of English with them. These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent（口音） and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland； others came from non-English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.‎ Australian English has also been influenced by American English. During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.‎ Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use. The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G'day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback. Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland. For example, mate means "friend",and it is still used in Britain. Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.‎ Australian spelling comes from British spelling. In words like ‎ organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method. In words like colour, favourite, -our is the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.‎ There are also differences in the definition （定义）of words Australians use in different parts of the country. For example, football means "rugby" in New South Wales and Queensland, but "Australian rules football" in everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.‎ ‎10. According to the passage, which of the following is spoken only by Australians？ ______‎ A. Mate. B. Outback.‎ C. Program. D. Rugby.‎ ‎11. What can we conclude from the last paragraph？ ______‎ A. The same word might have different meanings in different parts of Australia.‎ B. There arc different expressions about sports in Australia.‎ C. Australian rules football is the most popular sport in Australia.‎ D. Australians are fond of sports and games.‎ ‎12. What might be the best title for the text？ ______‎ A. The History of Australia.‎ B. The Development of Australian English.‎ C. The Birth of Australian English.‎ D. Different Kinds of English Across the World.‎ 二.七选五(每空2分，共5个小题）。‎ Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?‎ We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ____1___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.‎ ‎___2___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.‎ Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). _____3_____ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see ‎ buildings or sky instead. ______4______ It gives us a great feeling of peace.‎ ‎___5___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .‎ A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.‎ B. So what are you waiting for?‎ C. Being in nature refreshes us.‎ D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.‎ E But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?‎ F.

Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world.‎ ‎②The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied,‎ ‎ not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curingtheir diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, the human lifespan(寿命)can be prolonged.‎ ‎③Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthier and cleverer children. Some families havegenetic diseases. This means their children will for sure have the familial disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.‎ ‎④Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice, sheep, and dogs; therefore, these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control, leading to some disastrous consequences. But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe measures will be taken to control gene technology. ‎ A阅读【答案】1.
