When I entered Berkeley,I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a straight A student,I believed I could 1        tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 2        in class.

  When I took the first examination,I was 3        to find a 77,C-plus,on my test paper,4        English was my best subject I went to Professor Jayne,who listened to my arguments but remained 5 .

  I decided to try harder,although I didn’t know what that 6        because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully,but got another 77. Again,I 7        with Professor Jayne. Again,he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 8      .

  One more test before the final examination. One more 9        to improve my grade. So I redoubled my effort and,for the first time,10        the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 11        did no good and everything 12        as before.

  The last hurdle (障礙) was the final. No matter what 13        I got,it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 14        goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final,I even 15        myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 16        with a test.

  A week later,I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 17        to be expecting me, “If I gave you the As you 18,you wouldn’t continue to work as hard. ”

  I stared at him,19        that his analysis and strategy (策略) were correct. I had worked my head 20,as I had never done before.

  I was speechless when my course grade arrived： A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson： you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

n.完形填空技能綜合

[文章大意]這是一篇記敘文。作者進人伯克利大學學習的時候，文學課的教授一次次把他的考試成績評為c+，這使他覺得自己不可能拿到獎學金了，因此很沮喪，并放松了學業(yè)，期末考試前還去看電影。但期末考試教授給他的分數(shù)是全班唯一一個A+。從此他總記得教授的教誨：你必須為自己設立一個優(yōu)秀的標準。

1. A這里用take a subject表示"攻讀(某課程) "。"我"在中學是全優(yōu)生，所以"我"想"我"可以學比較難的課程，真正學點兒東西。

2. B本題用動詞present表示"陳述，呈現(xiàn)(觀點、計劃等) "。"我"特別喜歡世界文學課的Jayne教授在課堂給我們陳述的那些觀點。

3. A "我"對自己的能力很自信，對老師的課也很感興趣，可是第一次考試"我"只得了 77分，得了個C+，這讓"我"覺得詫異。

4. C本題選C表示原因。因為英語是"我"(學得) 最好的科目，卻只得了C+，所以"我"覺得驚訝，并因此去找教授評理.

5. D教授只聽"我"理論，并沒有說話。從四個選項的含義看，這里用unmoved表示教授聽了"我"的爭論與辯解卻無動于衷。unmoved表示"沒有被打動"。

6. B教授不為"我"所動，沒辦法，"我"只能更努力地學習。但"我"也不知道更努力地學習"意味著"什么，因為"我"的學習一直都很好。

7. B "我"更努力地學習的結果是第二次考試還得77分，于是"我"再次去找教授理論。這里用reason與上文的argument 相呼應，表示作者對自己這么低的考試分數(shù)不服氣，與教授辯論。

8. B上文提到，第一次找他的時候，他無動于衷，所以這次還是一樣，他不愿意改變初衷，不愿意改動"我"的分數(shù)。

9. C期末考試前還有一次考試，這是"我"提高考試分數(shù)的又一次"機會"。 

10. D "我"再次加倍努力地學習，并且第一次充分明白了什么叫"徹底"地學習。 

11. C可是"我"所付出的這一切努力都沒有任何作用。這里用effort指前面提到的"我"一次次加倍努力地學習。 

12. B這里表示一切照舊，但不能用系動詞，因為句中沒有表語，而應該用不及物動詞go表示"進展，發(fā)生"。 

13. A無論期末考試結果如何，這都改不了一個事實："我"巳經(jīng)得了三個C+了。 

14. A學習成績不優(yōu)秀，拿獎學金是沒有指望的了。這里不是說和課程、學位、科目告別，而是連續(xù)三個C+使"我"拿不到獎學金了。 

15. C本題用treat表示"招待，款待"。期末考試的前夜，"我" 甚至放縱自己去看電影了。 

16. A "我"開始放棄學業(yè)了，在考試的前一天晚上去看電影，第二天，"我"就決心把考試當作好玩的游戲了。 

17. D前面幾次考試"我"都去找他理論，這次他似乎也早就在期待"我"的到來了。 

18. C假如前幾次考試都如你所愿，每次都得A. 你就不會繼續(xù)努力學習了。 

19. D "我"意識到他的分析與策略是對的。 

20. D本題用動同短語work off表示"(通過消耗體力) 發(fā)泄(怒氣、沮喪之情）。

 You’re on the third lap around the car park,because there are no open spaces,and you’re already 15 minutes late for your appointment. Right now you’re wishing you could jump out of the car and let it go and find its own spot.

  Now there’s an app for that. Virtual Valet lets your;iPhone tell your car to park without you in it. “You pull up to the roadside,push a button on your smartphone and the car takes care of everything else,w says Aeron Steinfeld,the lead researcher for the project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.

  To find its own spot,the system uses a sensor suite similar to ones found in many luxury cars. This includes a motion sensor that scans for moving cars and pedestrians,and a forward-facing laser rangefinder normally found in adaptive cruise control to determine the distance of objects in front of the car. Information from these sensors is then fed to an onboard computer to plot the vehicle’s course. The user can watch the whole process from their phone.

  Better still,it will be affordable. The team has spent the last year moving from high-end imaging and processing equipment to less expensive components. In experiments,the vehicle was able to navigate through a crowded parking structure,find an empty spot,and park all on its own. And the greatest appeal of the Virtual Valet Parking App is that it requires no change to existing parking facilities or infrastructure.

  For the moment,the only car equipped for control by Virtual Valet is Carnegie Mellon’s modified (改進) Jeep Wranger,which the researchers have named NavLabll. But Steinfeld hopes that major car manufacturers will adopt the technology.

  It might be more than technology that holds up the show,however. Self-driving cars have been licensed in only three US states—California,Nevada and Florida—and it’s unclear how this app would agree with self-driving laws. Until these questions are settled,your insurance provider might be unwilling to cover a ding (凹痕) from a parking incident.

(   ) 5. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that      

   A. parking lots are too crowded

   B. parking spaces are too limited

   C. your car can park automatically via a smartphone app

   D. you can leave your car alone if you can’t find a parking spot

(   ) 6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

   A. How to determine the distance of objects.

   B. How the Virtual Valet App works.

   C. How to use the System.

   D. How to analyze the information about the vehicle’s course.

(   ) 7. The underlined word “plot” in Paragraph 3 probably means “     ”

   A. draw   B. circle

   C. change   D. follow

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past,but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed,I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute,I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus,I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possibly waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience,I’ll think of this experience.
