Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus:l Plan well.

Apples grow in nearly every part of the world; The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people. New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches. Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.The state of Washington is proud of its apples. The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every yearone apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.There are many stories and sayings about apples. For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each ones hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. While “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”. In fact, its another saying about “compare two things that cant be compared”.5. What can we know from the underlined sentence?A. American apples taste good.B.

But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association did a study. It involved three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound levels, or volume, at high on their iPods. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. And about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume. Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds that come with most music players. Earbuds are thought to be less effective than earphones in blocking out foreign noises. Hearing loss may not be apparent for years. But once it happens, it is permanent. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is working with manufacturers (生产商) and government officials on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to reduce the volume, limit listening time and using earphones that block out foreign noises.12. According to the study, more than half the students _.A. keep listening to music for a long time B. would reduce the volume of musicC. would stop listening to music D. would reduce the time on listening to music13. Which is NOT true according to the fourth paragraph?A. The listening equipment used by people need to be improved.B. Earbuds cant block out foreign noises completely.C. Most music players are equipped with earbuds.D. Listening to music with large earphones on is less effective.14. We can conclude from the text that _.A. only when rules for use of portable music device are worked out, can hearing loss disappearB. manufacturers are the main cause that leads to hearing lossC. it was not listening equipment but listeners themselves that mainly result in hearing lossD. using large earphones is the best way to protect your hearing15. The underlined word “apparent” means _.A. anxious B. obvious C. serious D. conscious EExperts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers-more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored(共同发起) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.There is no direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits(海峡).A professor of Tsinghua University said, A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction.For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges(三峡) dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometre land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 20152020.16. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C.

The example of English Channel Tunnel shows _.A. its not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD. the preparation takes longer time than the construction18. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.B. If the project is completed, the worlds longest tunnel will appear.C. You cant reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.19. What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A. The lack of money for the project from the governments.B. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.阅读理解答案简析：1. A。作者意图题。作者一一列举了大学生活当中应该注意的事项，很明显是在建议当今的大学生要有目的，要有规划，更要充实，不要虚度大学生活。2. C。事实细节题。从第一段可知，伴随着大学生活的开始，新思想开始出现，新挑战开始面临，新未来开始萌芽，故C项最符合题意。3.
