8.Whether you've been in college or you're looking forward to going to university in the future,you and your family likely spend some time worrying about the cost of your college education.(36)F However,that will pay off for years to come.Earning scholarships is a great way to help you.The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day.Here is some advice to help you.
•(37)E
Have you asked your high school or community college financial aid office about scholarships at your school?Many schools have a list of several scholarships right there.(38)D Check with community organizations,banks and credit unions,and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.
•Find your"hook"
(39)A.Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out.Pay special attention to awards that mention your best qualities,whether that's academic achievements,leadership,community service,or something less common.Think about why a donor wants to assist you in paying for your education.Most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior.Companies may want to attract future employees.
•Develop a routine
Every scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply,what you need to turn in,when the winner is announced,and how the money is given to you.(40)B There isn't a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything.Visit the website for the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities.Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.

A.While you're searching,consider what makes you special as a student.
B.Typically,scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year's awards,but that also varies depending on the donors.
C.There is no doubt that college education is a necessary step to get yourselves prepared for the future.
D.Local awards can often be easier to get as the application pools are smaller and less
competitive.
E.Begin in your own backyard.
F.It's no secret that college is one of the biggest investments.
G.Believe in yourselves.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了大學(xué)需要花費很多錢,但是你可以通過活動獎學(xué)金減輕經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力.

解答 36.F.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文Whether you've been in college or you're looking forward to going to university in the future,you and your family likely spend some time worrying about the cost of your college education可知大學(xué)是一個最大的投資已經(jīng)不是什么秘密了;故選F.
37.E.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文Have you asked your high school or community college financial aid office about scholarships at your school可知先從你的后院開始;故選E.
38.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文Check with community organizations,banks and credit unions,and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area可知隨著應(yīng)用程序池越來越少,本地獎勵往往更容易獲得;故選D.
39.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out可知當(dāng)你在尋找的時候,想想是什么讓你成為一個特殊的學(xué)生;故選A.
40.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文There isn't a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything可知通常,獎學(xué)金申請會在明年秋季或早春開學(xué),但也取決于捐贈者;故選B.

點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.

19.Like all big cities,Paris has a traffic problem:lots of cars,lots of traffic jams(阻塞) and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(廢氣).So the city began a scheme(計劃) to improve the si tuation.
Under the Velib sc heme(‘Velib'comes from velo liberte,or‘bicycle freedom'),people can take a bicycle,use it for as long as they want,and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.The first half-hour on the bike is free,but if you don't return it after 30 minutes,you have to pay.But it's only∈1 a day or∈29 a year!The bicycles are heavy (25 kg),and they are all grey and have baskets.There are about 20,000 of them in the city,and around 1,450 bicycle stations.So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
 Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this.But not everybody thinks it's a great idea.One Parisian said,"These bicycles are only for short journeys.If people want to travel across the city,they won't use a bicycle-they'll still use their cars."
 A city spokesman said,"The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems,of course.But it might help reduce air pollution.Traffic,together with factory fumes,is a big problem.There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.But unless we do something now,there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise,so the problems in our environment will get worse.The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life,too."

A.Its bikes have no baskets.
B.Its bikes are light and colorful.
C.People must return the bike to the same place after using it.

22.If you use a Velib for 1 hour,you should payA.
A.∈1              B.∈30              C.∈29             D.no money
23.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?C

C.It's not suitable for a long journey.
D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.
24.What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?B
