A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn’t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle. And her roommates were as different from Katie as the student restaurant’s mystery meat was from her mom’s roasted pork.
Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends making them know how you’re doing. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, they’re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you’re dealing with.
But what if you don’t get along well with your roommates?
In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren’t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.
If you and your roommates don’t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You’ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school’s website to find out information about the university health center.
If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询) center. First-year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.
From Paragraph 1 we can infer that ____.
A. Katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life
B. Katie felt satisfied when her college life started
C. Katie wasn’t used to the new environment in college at first
D. Katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college

A. Adjust to it.
B. Share fears and worries with your parents.
C. Talk to your roommates about it.
D. Get along with your roommates.
Which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is RIGHT?

Recently, some concerns have been raised about the health of the world's banana plants. Many media reports have said that bananas may completely disappear in the coming ten years.
Bananas are one of the world's most important food crops. They are also the fourth most valuable export. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses.
For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in American markets. It is an important export crop. However, some kinds of fungus (真菌) organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant's leaves. Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.
Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.
The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, whose headquarter lies in France, supports research on bananas. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas.
The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five-hundred different kinds of bananas. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the Cavendish banana represents only ten percent of world production.
The UN agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This has already happened to one popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease. (words: 335)

A．Bananas are the world’s most important food crops.

2.Bananas are threatened by diseases because __________.
A．they have genetic weaknesses against disease.
B．they are one of the most valuable exports.
C．the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leaves.
D．they grow from the seed
3.Panama disease__________.
A．doesn’t belong to fungal disease.
B．has spread to bananas in the world.
C．affects the leaves of banana plants.
D．destroys the bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka disease.
4.We can infer from Paragraph 6 that ____________.
A．the center of the group is in the US.
B．the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananas.
C．the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the output of bananas.

America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.
It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding—and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.
As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.
1.It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___________.
|
A．are to be further studied |
|
B．are yet to be proved |
|
C．are self evident |
|
D．are supported by scientific evidence |
2.A growing interest in sports developed after ______________.
|
A．an increasing number of races were held in American cities |
|
B．research showed their health benefits |
|
C．scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads |
|
D．people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps |
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
|
A．Running—A Popular Form of Sport |
|
B．Scientific Evidence of Health Benefits |
|
C．Different Forms of Exercise |
|
D．Exercise—The Road to Health |
4.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “leveled off” in the paragraph 2?
|
A．“reached its lowest level in popularity” |
|
B．“stopped being popular” |
|
C．“stopped increasing in popularity” |
|
D．“become very popular” |
