There are two main kinds of early admissions programs: Early Action and Early Decision.Early Action is a great choice for the well-prepared student. Students apply early, and are allowed to apply under an Early Action program to as many colleges as they choose. The biggest advantage for students is that colleges let them know early in most cases, before Jan 1. Roughly 15 percent of colleges and universities offer an Early Action option(选择). Oct 15 is now the first deadline for many colleges and universities.This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way. North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia all have an Oct 15 Early Action deadline.Early Decision is a promise that cannot bereversed. Students who are accepted must take back their other applications and should attend that school. Students are allowed to apply to just one school under an Early Decision program. Early Decision deadlines are in early November, with colleges letting students know by mid-December.Many students believe that they are more likely to be accepted if they apply for Early Decision, but it actually depends.In some cases there is big increase in students being accepted, and at other colleges it is not that big at all.Generally, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early DecisionChoose the best answer:21.What is the authors purpose in writing the article?A. To explain the process of applying to study in the US.B. To describe two types of US college early admissions programs.C. To encourage students who want to study in the US to apply early.D. To list the advantages of early admissions programs.22.Which of the following statements is TRUE of Early Action according to the article?A. A student who is accepted as an Early Action applicant must attend the college they apply to.B. The deadline for Early Action is usually two months earlier than the one for Early Decision.C. Students can apply to several colleges at the same time under an Early Action program.D. Students can apply for Early Action at the majority of universities and colleges in the US.23.The underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. arranged B. balanced C. accepted D. changed24.What can be concluded from the article?A. Students are not allowed to apply for both Early Decision and Early Action at the same time.B. Students applying for Early Decision impress colleges because they tend to be more active than others.C. Early Decision is most fit for students who are skilled in some field.D. Those applying for Early Decision have a better chance of being accepted than those applying for Early Action.BWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians,green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China,children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations,blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites.Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly,many mercial websites will have a red Buy Now button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.Blue is another calming color.Unlike red,blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room,think about the color carefully.5.Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. cultural valuesB. mercial purposesC. personal experiencesD. physical reactions to the color26.Why will many mercial websites have a red Buy Now button?A. To relax people physically.B. To increase peoples appetites.C. To encourage people to make a purchase.D. To cause a persons blood pressure to rise.27.Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?A. Colors and Human BeingsB. The Cultural Meaning of ColorC. Colors and Personal ExperiencesD. The Meaning and Function of ColorCAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations major food sources (来源) for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park s red foxes, and pletely drove away the park s beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years ing up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone .Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red fores have made a eback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28.What is the text mainly about?A. Wildlife research in the United States.B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Tested. B. Separated.C. Forced out. D. Tracked down.30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the parks ine.C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals.31.What is the authors attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？A. Doubtful. B. Positive.C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.DConventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes (染色体), called telomeres (端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列) which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies. Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person. In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the childrens telomeres-in cells obtained by wiping the insides of their cheeks-at ages 5 and 10. Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers. Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says. The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood a adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.32.The new study found that .A.hardship can change a childs memoryB.violence can speed up a childs agingC.violence leaves scars on a childs mindD.hardship has an effect on a childs mind33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Telomeres. B.Children. C.Chromosomes. D.DNA sequences.34.What can be inferred from the text? A.Violence can cause quick cell death in childrens body. B.Telomeres can help prevent chromosomes from separating. C.Children who have shorter telomeres have heart attacks later. D.Being treated badly will make a childs telomeres shorten faster.35.What is the best title for the text? A.Violence and Telomeres B.The Function of Telomeres C.Violence Makes Children Aging D.DNA Influences Childrens Growth第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money.36 One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get weekly pocket money.37First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it38 By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home.39 They believe helping at home is a normal part of family life. Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money.40 They can spend it by buying things they want. They can save it for future use. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.A. Others get monthly pocket money.B. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause.C. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child.F. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.G. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the right time.第3部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。Unchangeable LoveOne day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.
