Until recently we had been living in the Yukon Territory in Canada, in a town seventy miles or so of the Arctic Circle. It is romantically called "The Land of the Midnight Sun" because during the summer the sun shines continuously, even at midnight. On the other hand, it is also called "The Land of Darkness" because in winter the opposite happens. My classmates probably thought I liked to tell tales when I said I had to walk to school on a river in my hometown. But it was true. When the darkness comes, so does the cold, because there is no sun to give warmth. The land becomes a world of ice and snow. The few roads that link villages are completely (完全地) covered with snow; people must travel on frozen rivers. If they do not have far to go, they put on snowshoes. These shoes prevent them from sinking into the thick snow. However, if they have a long journey to make they ride in dog sleds. Rivers are very important to the people of the Yukon. When summer comes and the sun once more shines upon the land, the rivers become moving highways suitable for boats and canoes. Of course, another important means of transportation for all of us in the village was the plane, which provided us with the only means of getting to the outside world. |

[ ] |
A. The Yukon Territory is in Canada. B. Dogsleds are used for long journeys. C. Winter is longer than summer in Yukon. D. Planes are the only link with the outside world. |
2. The underlined part in paragraph 2 means that my classmates _____ we walked to school on a river. |
[ ] |
A. thought I liked telling tales when B. felt excited when they learned that C. thought I had a hard time when D. thought it was unbelievable that |
3. What is the main topic of the passage? |
[ ] |
A. How to walk on a river in winter. B. How the Yukon people travel. C. The importance of planes in the Yukon. D. The weather inside the Arctic Circle. |

"How are you?" is a nice question. It"s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual questin. It"s a question that often doesn"t have an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the person"s friend isn"t fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn"t really a question and "Fine." isn"t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello!" or "Hi!". Sometimes, people also don"t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, "Do you agree?", the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you"re wrong …" But it isn"t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say "I"m not sure …". It"s a nice way to say that you don"t agree with someone. People also don"t say exactly what they are thingking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I"ve to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn"t want to talk any more, but it isn"t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn"t hurt the other person. When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don"t say exactly what they are thinking. It"s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it"s also a part of the game of language. |

Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today. First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major (专业) may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your text-books. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn"t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections. If your major is chemistry, or physics, or some other science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do. |
1. The main purpose of this text is ____. |
[ ] |
A. to help the students to learn about university life B. to persuade the students to attend lectures C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions D. to advise the students to choose proper majors |

A. working under the guidance of university professors B. talking over what the students have read about the courses C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture |

Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various independent organizations offering similar activities. Students can participate (take part) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies. Anyone can register (登记) with such groups, which then organize courses, training and trips for all members. One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain, is Outward Bound (户外训练). It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year. The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem (自尊) and character. As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing, participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills. Michael Williams, an American student, took part in an Outward Bound course last year. He said:"We learned lots of first aid skills, lots of natural history, lots of environmental facts, and participated in a wildlife preservation (protecting) programme. Beyond that, my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing." Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general good health, but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports. There is no selection process; everyone is welcome, although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power. Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales. Another similar organization is the UK Survival School, which includes courses on learning to live with the environment, sailing and winter survival. On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food, how to make fire and cook with it, to find and build a shelter, control survival life support, how to cross rivers, send off an SOS signal, and to use compasses by day and night. According to the leaders, such adventures are "an awakening, an exploration into unknown." Outward Bound believes that participants will "use mind and body traveling some of the earth"s roughest wildness areas." |
1. The advantage of the training courses is that _____. |
[ ] |
A. participants can make friends with others B. participants can visit some places of interest C. participants can experience different adventures D. participants can learn how wonderful nature is |
2. In the Outward Bound course last year, the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was _____. |
[ ] |
A. learning first aid skills B. collecting facts of environment C. preserving wildlife D. rock climbing and sailing |
3. What"s the writer"s purpose to write this passage? |
[ ] |
A. To introduce the training course to readers. B. To persuade readers to take part in the training courses. C. To tell readers the danger of this training course. D. To introduce the wonders of the world to readers. |
