【題目】七選五
May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States.This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall.But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever. （1）
These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier. （2） On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time.Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts. （3）
For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous. （4） The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.（5） The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finishes high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.
A. Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.
B．What contributes to it?
C．But a mistake can be costly if it happens.
D．But top colleges ignore them.
E．They have international students who know English.
F．It can mean several acceptances to choose from.
G． They cannot afford college as planned.

【答案】B；F；D；G；A
【解析】（1）根據(jù)全文結構分析，第一段引出話題，下文分析問題，故此處應該是通過
一個問題引出下文的回答，也就是分析的原因。故選B。（2）F項句意：這意味著可以有好幾個可以選擇的入學機會。與上一句：如今，大學申請者可以申請更多大學因為網(wǎng)上和隨處可見的申請機會使得這一過程更容易，語流發(fā)展自然，明顯的因果關系。(3)上文出現(xiàn)“Also, common colleges work more”可知此處是把普通大學和重點大學相比較，故應選D。
(4)該段主要就是在分析今年的經(jīng)濟狀況對學生上大學的影響，許多家庭不能如計劃那樣把孩子送入重點大學，故選G.(5)根據(jù)上下文可知作者在此段討論了重點大學人數(shù)的下降也是教育部期望的，故選A.。

【題目】閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四項個選項（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項。
D
More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.
“Look, we get three eggs this time.”
Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.
“We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop（雞籠；雞舍） and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst.
Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks.
After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.
Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.
“We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.
Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.
Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.
“I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(贊成養(yǎng)雞). That is happening all around the United States,” he said.
He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.
（1）According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.
A.save the living cost
B.reduce farmers' burden
C.solve the employment problems
D.get safe and healthy food
（2）The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.
A.building a website for raising chickens
B.building the coops and buying the chickens
C.finding some place to raise the chickens
D.persuading the neighbours to accept their idea
（3）We can learn from the passage that ____ ______.
A.you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months.
B.you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens.
C.you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever
D.you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens.
（4）Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________
A.based on the environmentally friendly concept
B.based on the government's supporting policy
C.to help advertise the organic and local food
D.to meet his neighbors' need of raising chickens
