14．The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world．But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing．
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar．Universities have something called Freshers'Week for their newcomers．It's a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect （前景） of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking （令人焦慮不安的）．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join？
Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot．So just take it all in slowly．Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years．
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers'Week：
●Learn rules．Make sure you know British social etiquette （禮節(jié)）．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends．
●Be kind．Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends．
●Be sociable．The more active you are，the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves his room．
●Bring a doorstop．Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly．
So with a bit of clever planning and effort，F(xiàn)reshers'Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your experience to next year's freshers．

56．答案B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第五行Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends可知，手里拿著的酒杯和小吃是給你的室友或朋友的，故推測這是為了方便結(jié)交朋友．故選B．
57．答案A．主旨大意題．根據(jù)第五段Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers'Week可知，作者寫這篇文章是為了介紹一些學(xué)長學(xué)姐給新生的建議．故選A．
點評 報道類文章一般由標題（Head line），導(dǎo)語（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主體（Main body）和結(jié)尾（End）五部分構(gòu)成．標題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看，這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標題，而要同學(xué)們選擇標題．導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一個事實的起因．主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進行詳細敘述，這一部分命題往往最多，因此，閱讀時，同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點．結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng)，命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題．在進行推理判斷時，同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù)，同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識．
