I always remembered the first time I took part in an English composition competition. "Right! Dean
would be the __11__ of our class to participate in the English composition competition," my classmates
said.
I was too __12__ to speak when I heard what my classmates said. In order not to __13__ short of
my classmates"__14__, I trained myself very hard for the hope of being the __15__ of the competition,
which would take place a month later. I __16__ a lot of vocabulary, sentence structures and __17__
rules and read many good or renowned articles. Not having I __18__ pretty well, the day came. Every
candidate __19__ me looked so wellprepared and __20__. "Only 1. 5 hours. Start," a supervisor
suddenly said. Seeing the __21__ "What do most teenagers concern nowadays?" I was nervous and
got __22__ block. What"s worse, other candidates had begun writing. Moments later, I __23__
myself, took a deep breath, and began brainstorming ideas __24__ the topic. I quickly wrote down the
composition structure, central theme, and __25__ necessary elements. As the finishing time was
__26__, I tried my best to accelerate my writing. Unfortunately, __27__ my failure of time management,
I left my composition incomplete. My final draft looked like a robot __28__ legs were broken.
The result came out two weeks later. To my surprise, I got the second prize! All my classmates
cheered for me. This encouraged me a lot. __29__ I was not the first prize winner, I could still __30__

strongly.
On a rainy day a meteorologist(气象学家)I met was very 3 at my great anger caused by rain that
made a little inconvenience for me.
He asked, "Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were
no typhoon?" I shook my head. I had no 4 of how overwhelming it was when it 5 everything away in its

"Well, let me tell you," the meteorologist said. "Without it the 6 of fresh water will be more serious, for
it is a great 7 of water supply on earth, Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution

because I had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon-something much more violent,
something a thousand times more 13 than wind or rain-was a 14 to the existence of mankind.

whatever he pleases. 16 as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop 17

D. anger | | 阅读理解。 | Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,
S.D., so commuting(经常往返) to class isn"t the problem. But he doesn"t like lectures much, isn"t a
morning person, and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.
So Steele, a full-time senior business major, has been taking as many classes as he can from the
South Dakota State system"s online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more, he says, and
insists he isn"t missing out on the college experience.
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus, and I still meet a lot of people,"
he says. But now, he sets his own schedule.
At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses, according to a recent survey by The
Sloan Consortium, an online education group, and two-thirds of colleges offering "face-to-face" courses
also offer online ones. But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more
alike and often falling into the same pool of students.
At some schools, online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus
have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students. A recent study found 42 percent of the
students enrolled(登记) in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that
was hosting the online courses.
Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges, but other schools also have students
mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits. Motives range from lifestyle to adapting a job
schedule to getting into high-demand courses.
Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last
year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.
"Business is really about providing choices to their customers, and that"s really what we want to do," said
Sheila Aaker, extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.
Many schools, such as Washington State and Arizona State, let departments and academic units
decide who can take an online course. They say students with legitimate academic needs-a conflict
with another class, a course they need to graduate that is full---often get permission, though they still must
take some key classes in person. | | 1. What is the purpose of the passage? | A. To introduce Steele to us, who prefers online courses.
B. To tell us about the development of campus courses.
C. To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.
D. To show more on-campus students are taking online courses. | | 2. We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele _______. | A. lives far from the campus
B. knows none of his classmates
C. wants to have his own lifestyle
D. doesn"t get good marks | | 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? | A. The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.
B. It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.
C. About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.
D. Different colleges have different policies about online courses. | | 4. From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage, we can tell _______. | A. business is the most popular major in universities
B. colleges should provide more majors for students
C. where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D. why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students | | 完形填空 | Last summer I was a volunteer at a shelter for the homeless, a place for homeless people to sleep

sit up in his bed for an hour a day to get rid of the fluids (液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the
room"s only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on_end. They talked about everything in their life. But always, the best
subject was the time when his roommate described all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those onehour periods where his world would be
broadened and enlivened by all the activities and color of the outside world. The man had said out of
the window was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children
sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Old trees graced the
landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window
described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the
scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other
man could not hear the band, he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it.
Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing
everything while I never get to see anything? It didn"t seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵), the
man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy became
resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be
by that window-and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough
uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved, never pushed his own
button, which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone.
When his body was taken away, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.
His wish was soon granted (满足).
But when he strained to take his first look out of the window, he found it faced a blank wall. | | 1. Which is the proper title of the passage? | A. The relationship between the two men.
B. Envy turns the soul sour.
C. The two men, who were both seriously ill, were in hospital.
D. The time the two men spent together in hospital. | | 2. What does the phrase "on end" mean in the second paragraph? | A. in total
B. ending
C. only
D. without stopping | | 3. What kind of person is the man by the window? | A. A liar.
B. An honest person.
C. A dull person.
D. A kind person. | | 4. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? | A. What the man by the window described was real.
B. Envy makes one"s health worse day after day.
C. At first the man who couldn"t see the sight outside the window could imagine the sight.
D. The man was happy when his wish was granted. | 最新试题
