Harvard is one of the most famous educational institutions in the world and many people want to study there. The problem is that most applicants don’t follow the advice that will most likely get them 1. (pick).

One of the most important things you should remember when 2. (apply) to Harvard is that THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE A LIFE. This is probably the main requirement after your grades. The best situation is that you are a 3. (nature) leader with lots of activities and active social life. Another important thing to remember is that you have to promote (推銷) 4. (you) but in a reasonable manner. You should be aware of your strengths and 5. (weak). Grades are very important but they are not everything. Try to gain a great school record from your high school years, take extra courses that are interesting, and enjoy life. 6. rest will come naturally.

Last but not least, let’s pay attention 7. the interview. You should be respectful and most importantly, show real interest in the school (not only the name). 8. is a matter of luck to get an interviewer who shares common interests with you. The thing with the interview is that Harvard 9. (receive) applications from hundreds, if not thousands of students with the same grades. This means the interview is your chance to show 10. you are unique.

18．As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards； water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams，to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of"virtual water"．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example，consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients（原料）．Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation，when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East，get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products．More surprisingly，some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．

25．The proverb in Paragraph One is used toC．
A．inspire readers to struggle upward        
B．tell a law of nature
C．introduce the topic of the passage         
D．summarize the main idea of the passage
26．In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside？C．
A．The United Kingdom and China         
B．America and Israel
C．The Netherlands and Kuwait            
D．The Netherlands and America
27．What can be a suitable title for the passage？D
A．Benefits of Virtual Water             
B．Hidden Uses of Water
C．Crops and Virtual Water             
D．Water's Worldwide Travels
28．Where does the passage probably come from？A
A．A science news report．
B．A newspaper advertisement．
C．A book review．
D．A science fiction story．

Health insurance(保險) can be very expensive. Some working people do not make enough money to pay for it. In the US there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.

Families are charged about $7.00 a month for every child, and $10.00 for every adult. It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can see a doctor when they are sick or hurt.

The program is not expensive at all, but many people are still not enrolling in it. People say that it still costs too much money. They need all of their money to pay for things like food and rent（租金）.

It would be great if everyone could have health insurance. People are working hard to come up with ways to make this happen. One idea is to make the Healthy Families Program free for some people.

It is important for people to see a doctor when they need to. The Healthy Families Program makes it possible for more people to do this. Many ideas are being considered. Hopefully some of them will allow even more families to get health insurance.

The Healthy Families Program is made to help those who don’t have welfare (社會保障金) and cannot earn enough to pay for private health insurance. It is an important program, but officials say that too many people are signing up for it and then dropping out（退出） because of the Healthy Families Program’s cost.

1.The aim of the Healthy Families Program is to __________.

A. help people earn more and pay for the program

B. make it free for people to see a doctor

C. help more families get health insurance

D. help families pay for private health insurance

2.If a couple has two children, how much would health insurance cost every month in the family?

Hummingbirds (蜂鳥) are one of nature’s most energetic fliers and the only birds to hover in the air by relying on their strength alone.

Now scientists have found that it is the ratio (比值) of the bird’s wing length to its width that makes them so efficient. The discovery is helping experts compete with 42 million years of natural selection to build helicopters that are increasingly efficient.

David Lentink, an assistant professor at Stanford University in California, tested wings from 12 different species of hummingbirds, which he sourced from museums. He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics (氣力學(xué)) of the helicopter blades (槳葉). Professor Lentink’s team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced micro-helicopter used by the UK’s army. They found that the micro-helicopter’s blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds.

But while the micro-helicopter’s blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings, they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbird’s wing. The wings of Anna’s hummingbird were found to be about 27 percent more efficient than the man-made micro- helicopter’s blades.

While Professor Lentink wasn’t surprised at nature’s superiority, he said that helicopter blades have come a long way. “The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird,” he said. “A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build. The best hummingbirds are still better, but I think it’s amazing that we’re getting closer. It’s not easy to match their performance, but if we build better wings with better shapes, we might match hummingbirds.”

Professor Lentink said that we don’t know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind, how they navigate (確定方向) through branches, or how they change direction so quickly. He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratios—the ratio of wing length to wing width. Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments.

1.What did the scientists find about hummingbirds?

A. Their wings are long and wide.

B. They can hover in the air for a long time.

C. The ratio of their wing length to wing width is very important.

D. They are the most energetic flier in nature.

2.Which is the right order of Professor Lentink’s research?

① Tested wings from different species of hummingbirds.

② Got resources from museums.

③ Analyzed the results and drew a conclusion.

④ Tested the blades from a micro-helicopter.

A. ①②③④ B. ②①③④ C. ②④①③ D. ②①④③

3.According to Professor Lentink, what will be the focus of future experiments?

A. To know how hummingbirds can fly in a strong wind.

B. To know how hummingbirds change direction so quickly.

C. To develop a new kind of helicopter.

D. To study the secrets of hummingbirds.

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (靜電) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

A. He got an older model than he had expected.

B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?

A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels

C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies

3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.

C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.

4.How does the author sound when telling the story?

A. Curious B. Anxious

C. Cautious D. Humorous
