【解析】

【1】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容可知,對(duì)于中學(xué)生和大學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，除了頒獎(jiǎng)和畢業(yè)儀式外,“校友返校節(jié)”是他們最重要的節(jié)日，由此可以推知畢業(yè)和頒獎(jiǎng)才是他們最重要的事情,故答案選C。選項(xiàng)A具有強(qiáng)烈的干擾性,注意排除。

【2】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章中并沒(méi)有提到回家看望家人,而是講朋友聚會(huì)、拜訪老師、觀看足球賽等，故答案選D。

【3】B 詞義猜測(cè)題。每年的“校友返校節(jié)”的足球賽上半場(chǎng)結(jié)束時(shí),“校友返校節(jié)女皇和國(guó)王”都會(huì)到場(chǎng)祝賀,而這些女皇和國(guó)王是由學(xué)生推選出來(lái)的最優(yōu)秀的同學(xué)來(lái)?yè)?dān)任的,故此處 vote應(yīng)該是“選舉或挑選”之意,根據(jù)第五段最后一句話也可以推知答案選B。

【4】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King.可知，當(dāng)選女皇或國(guó)王的人是最受同學(xué)們歡迎的學(xué)生,故答案選A。

【5】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，主要介紹了在美國(guó)中學(xué)和大學(xué)中的一個(gè)特殊節(jié)日——“校友返校節(jié)”，本文應(yīng)該刊登在“娛樂(lè)雜志”上,與課本、體育雜志和科學(xué)報(bào)告無(wú)關(guān)。

【題目】If your family is thinking of getting a pet, consider adopting from an animal shelter. Animal shelters are full of dogs, cats, rabbits, and more animals, all in need of loving homes. Some may come with emotional or behavioral issues, but most are happy, healthy, and ready for a loving home. Here are some tips for you to find great animals.

Make some decision.

Think about what you want in a pet and remember that all pets have different personalities. Cats tend to be more independent and need less affection, but kittens need lots of attention. Cats don’t need to be walked , but you need to clip their nails and play with them. Dogs need to be walked at the very least twice a day. However , they are usually great companions and love to spend time with their family.

Visit the shelter.

Set aside at least a few hours to visit shelters in your area—remember that you may need to visit more than one visit. Try to bring along everyone who will be living with a new pet. Ask the shelter staff lots of questions. And never adopt an animal because you feel sorry for it—be patient so you find a pet who is truly a good match for your family.

Get everything ready.

Buy all necessary supplies and food well before the animal comes home. Make sure that the entire household is in agreement about rules and responsibilities—will the dog be allowed on the couch? Who will clean the litter box? Put it in writing before the pet arrives.

Bring your new friend home !

You’ll probably be excited when your new pet arrives, but be sure to give them space and time to get adjusted to a new home and a new family. The pet may act differently once they leave the shelter. Interact（交流）with your pet a lot and get them used to a routine, and soon you’ll be one big happy family !

【1】Which of the following is the first important factor should be considered when adopting a pet?

A. Think twice about the adoption.

B. Get detailed information about the pets.

C. Make full preparations for the coming pet.

D. Try to make the pet your family member.

【2】According to the article, which of the following statements is true?

A. Both cats and dogs need walking and attention.

B. Both cats and dogs are human’s good partners.

C. All the animals in the shelter are in good condition.

D. It’s necessary to talk a lot with your new pets every day.

【3】Before a new pet comes home, we’d better ______.

A. show concern for the animals

B. set down an agreement on paper

C. bring all the members to visit the shelter

D. get it adjusted to a new environment immediately

【4】The article is intended for ______.

A. animal shelters B. shelter staff

C. pet lovers D. pet protectors

【題目】Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.

In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes—trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.

The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (評(píng)價(jià)) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.

The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask " how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success? " This is to enter the world of human nature.

So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals (煎熬). No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.

【1】The scientist did some experiments to __________.

A. test children's self-control and later success

B. test children's intelligence of ringing the bell

C. find good ways of training children to learn

D. prove that children's education is important

【2】We can learn from the experiment that __________.

A. all children tried to ring the bell for more candies

B. some children didn't get any candy in the end

C. the children have different self-control

D. the last one to ring the bell is the most successful

【3】How long did the scientist's experiments last according to the text?

A. Just 15 minutes. B. Within 10 years.

C. Less than 14 years. D. More than 28 years.

【4】What will those without self-control do at school according to the text?

A. Improving their education.

B. Suffering a lot from boring lessons.

C. Working hard to catch up with others.

D. Becoming very rich and successful.

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A. Ways of self-control training

B. Experiments on children's ringing the bell

C. Higher score, better achievements

D. Self-control is the key to success
