9、 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。 A An increasing number of students worldwide are considering studying abroad. The application process varies from country to country. If youre looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the appli

10、cation options, here is some guidance to get you started. UK International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs 20 for a single choice or 25 for more than one

11、choice. The application consists of a series of questions to determine the students schooling and predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement, in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences. Switzerland Switzerland has fo

12、ur official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of t

13、he French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas. Canada International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very

14、 similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competencythere are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites. Singapore The process of applying to a Sin

15、gaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20. 21. Which country re

16、quires international applicants know French well? A. UK. B. Switzerland. C. Canada. D. Singapore. 22. What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada? A. The application system.

B One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the

18、 characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!” It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also trans

19、late it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didnt know, but I knew that one well. A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isnt that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it didnt work like that. If one character was wro

20、ng it was simply budui. “Whats this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed. “Zhe the zhe in Zhejiang.” “Third tone?” “Fourth tone.” I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victoryI turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least

21、 I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.” It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle groun

22、d. I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, a

23、nd as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasnt the American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didnt mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep wo

24、rking; you havent achieved anything yet. And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui. 24. Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3? A. burst out. B. gave in. C. returned. D. complained. 25. What did the write

25、r expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again? A. Immediate correction. B. A new challenge. C. An encouraging response. D. A strict comment. 26. How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching? A. Candy-coated. B. Weakness-focused. C. Interest-driven. D. Criticism-absent. 27. What can we

26、 infer from the text? A. The writer was struggling with Liaos teaching. B. The American way of teaching is better for adults. C. The writer was not gifted in language learning. D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students. C In the winter of 1664-65, a bitter cold fell on London in the days be

27、fore Christmas. Above the city, an unusually bright comet (彗星) shot across the sky, exciting much prediction of a snow storm. Outside the city wall, a woman was announced dead of a disease that was spreading in that area. Her house was locked up and the phrase “Lord Have Mercy On Us” was painted on

28、the door in red. By the following Christmas, the virus that had killed the woman would go on to kill nearly 100,000 people living in and around Londonalmost a third of those who did not flee. In The Great Plague (瘟疫), historian A. Lloyd Moote and microbiologist Dorothy C. Moote provide a deeply info

29、rmed account of this plague year. Reading the book, readers are taken from the palaces of the citys wealthiest citizens to the poor areas where the vast majority of Londoners were living, and to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes point out that, even at the height of the pla

30、gue, the city did not fall into chaos. Doctors, nurses and the church staff remained in the city to care for the sick; city officials tried their best to fight the crisis with all the legal tools; and commerce continued even as businesses shut down. To describe life and death in and around London, t

31、he authors focus on the experiences of nine individuals. Through their letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh descriptions of key issues in the history of the Great Plague: how different communities understood and experienced the disease; how medical, religious, and government bodies reacted; h

32、ow well the social order held together; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced when debating whether to flee the city; and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources supporting those who remained. Based on humanity (人性), the authors offer a masterful portrait of a city and its

36、arth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planets ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet carbon. Carbon i

37、s everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon di

38、oxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sedim

39、ents (沉淀物) for millions of years. As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and se

40、diments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming. Earths climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about r

41、ivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream. 32.
