Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to
explore, new challenges to be met and
many
decisions to be made. Your future begins here.
However, you will find college life is
different from your previous school
environment. Many of us can be easily
overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running
a
well-balanced life. While some of us may have the
know-how, I guess there are more
of us who can
benefit from learning about the experiences of
other who have walked
the college halls before
you.
The following you may find of use about
life on campus.
1. Plan well. There are so
many new things to do at a new college or
university,
social and academic(学术的). Give
yourself time to make new friends and become
familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why
you are there. Give some time for
social
activities and manage your time wisely.
2. If
you don’t have a “system” for planning your time
now (like a day time,
a computer date book),
get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.
3. Don’t miss the guidelines, restrictions,
rules and regulations of all kinds
can usually
be found in your student handbook. Consider them
well-balanced food for
thought. What dates are
important? What pieces of paper need to be handed
in? What
cancan’t you do in your student
residence(住处)? Who has authority for what? What
do you need to complete to graduate?
4.
Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom
and bathroom, and maybe
it will help to write
it on a piece of paper and stick it on the
telephone, TV and
the kitchen table. Consider
this – you are paying thousands of dollars for
courses.
You pay every time you have to repeat
or replace a course.
1. What is the main
purpose of the passage?
A. To offer advice on
college life.
B. To explain why college life
is exciting.
C. To describe the importance of
college life.
D. To persuade you
to go to college ]
2. From the passage, we can
know .
A. one will have more freedom at
college
B. one will make more friends at
college
C. one prepares for one’s future
career and life at college
D. professors at
college will provide you with many new ideas
3. What is the probable meaning of the
underlined word “know-how” (in Paragraph
2)?
A. An understanding of how things are going at
college.
B. A practical knowledge about how to
behave and what to do at college.
C. College
halls where rules and regulations are presented.
D. An environment completely different from
the one you’re used to.

passage, college students .

from those who went to college before them
B.
should spend as much time as possible on social
activities
C. should have a “system” for
planning their time
D. are supposed to repeat
or replace at least one course

Wind turbines are efficient sources of cheap
energy but also a source of concern
as their
huge spinning blades (叶片) frequently kill birds
and bats. A new type of
wind generator
developed in Spain offers a creative solution to
that problem.
In 2002, Spanish inventor David
Yanez saw a short film about the Tacoma Narrows
Bridge
in the U.S., collapsing in strong wind.
It was a vivid example of the powerful
vibrations wind can create when it blows past
a long pole, such as a car antenna
or even a
stick of bamboo. It gave him the idea for a new
type of wind-energy generator.
“The initial philosophy or spirit was to
create a generator of dreams that had all
the
qualities one would want: It should be as cheap as
possible, need as little
maintenance as
possible, the setup as simple as possible,” he
said.
Yanez and his friend Raoul Martin took
the idea to an engineering firm, where they
were told it would never work. Undiscouraged,
they started experimenting on their
own in a
small wind tunnel they built.
Good initial
results were repeated by a larger working model
called Vortex (涡旋)
installed in a nearby
field. “What we have is a mast (桅杆), which is the
top piece
and acts as a blade,” Yanez said.
“It’s constructed from the same material as
a
conventional generator, and what it does is it
oscillates (振荡), transmitting
the oscillation
to a conventional alternator, which by its own
oscillation converts
the wind’s energy into
electric energy.”
Yanez said the output of the
6-meter-tall generator, and even that of smaller
models,
was better than expected. The Vortex
creates about 30 percent less energy than a
comparable bladed wind turbine, but it is
lighter and cheaper to build and maintain.
It
is made mostly of reinforced plastic and has very
few moving parts. Also, it does
not create
noise and—even more important for many
environmentalists—it does not
present a threat
to passing birds.
The current prototype works
at wind speeds ranging from 1.5 to 7 meters per
second.
The inventors say the next step is
building a 12.5-meter tall bladeless generator
with a 4-kilowatt capacity that could power
small businesses or individual homes,
or
provide supplemental power to a main grid. The
commercial version of the Vortex
Bladeless
generator should be ready for the market by 2017.
【小题1】The author mentions a short film about
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to show
________.
A．what the initial philosophy or spirit was
B．what inspired Yanez to create the generator
C．how the bridge was destroyed in strong wind
D．how wind creates powerful vibrations
【小题2】What do we know from the passage?
A．The original idea was considered
as practical in an engineering firm.
B．Yanez
and Martin’s initial tests by themselves proved to
be successful.
C．The material for constructing
the mast is different from that of the past.
D．The new generator is better at creating
energy than a comparable bladed one.
【小题3】
What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Bladeless wind-power generator is friendly
to birds.
B．Wind turbines are efficient
sources of cheap energy.
C．A new generator
will come onto the market by 2017.
D．Yanez has
made a generator for the benefit of people.

Heading to Seattle? What’s New in Washington’s
Seaside City?
Advice to visit Seattle’s Pike
Place Market may border on cliché—but for a good
reason.
“Whether you’re visiting
Washington’s seaside city for vacation or just
stopping
by en route to and from the coming
Sasquatch music festival, Pike Place is an easy
catch-all destination for shopping, eating and
just plain walking around,” said
Kirk Johnson,
The New York Times’s Seattle bureau chief for the
past three years.
The Seattle Great Wheel is
one of many stops to consider in Washington’s
seaside
city.
“Almost any day of the week,
especially on the weekend, it’s a crazy fun scene
of people shopping,” Mr. Johnson said.
“There’s also pretty good food.” He
recommends
wandering into whatever place—especially a hole in
the wall—catches
your eye.
There is one
specific restaurant Mr. Johnson likes: the Pink
Door, which has no
signage and can be found
only by its rosy entrance. “It’s creative,
interesting
Italian,” he said. “In the summer
they get a lot of great fresh vegetables and
probably have the best tomato bruschetta I’ve
had.”
He also recommends the nearby Pioneer
Square, the oldest neighborhood in Seattle.
Its historic architecture has charm, and the
area isn’t bad for a lunch break, he
said. The
clear favorite here is Salumi—which, as the name
suggests, is known for
its cured meats. Mr.
Johnson did warn, however, that it’s necessary to
plan for
the fact that the restaurant has a
long line as soon as it opens.
Pioneer Square is also a portal to Seattle’s
maritime world that remains alive and
well.
Ferry rides are a short walk away. Mr. Johnson
said the ferry ride to Bainbridge
Island
provides “a great view of the city,” and it’s not
a long ride back to the
mainland.
At some
point, you may see sculptures emerging on the
horizon—that would be the
Olympic Sculpture
Park, which is operated by the Seattle Art Museum,
Mr. Johnson
said, and that’s worth a visit
itself.
People who want to experience
Seattle’s nearby charms can easily do so with a
bicycle,
Mr. Johnson said, if they want to get
away from depending on a car. He takes a ride
to Chateau Ste. Michelle, a famous winery
outside the city. Starting in June, he
said,
Chateau Ste. Michelle hosts a summer concert
series on its lawn.
【小题1】If you are a music
lover, you are advised to go to ________.
A．the Seattle Art Museum
B．the Seattle
Great Wheel
C．the Olympic Sculpture Park
D．Chateau Ste. Michelle
【小题2】According to
Kirk Johnson, we know that ________.
A．people
often have a good time shopping happily in
Bainbridge Island
B．it is a great challenge to
find the busy and popular restaurant Salumi
C．Pioneer Square is famous for its fascinating
historic architecture
D．cycling is far from a
good way to experience Seattle’s nearby charms
【小题3】What are you encouraged to do if you are
going to visit Seattle?
A．Try the tomato
bruschetta in the Pink Door.
B．Go there in
groups during the winter holidays.
C．Depend on
cars for the sake of convenience.
D．Enjoy the
sculptures in Pike Place Market.
