Choosing a university or college
With over 160 universities to choose from in the UK,and limitless courses and study
options on offer,you can make your UK university experience as unique as possible.
Understanding rankings
Higher education institutions are ranked each year by a variety of organizations.The QS
World University Rankings,for example,focus heavily on research and reputation,but don't
include the quality of teaching or students'views.THE World University Rankings and the
Complete University Guide focus more on research strength and student satisfaction.The
People and Planet University League even ranks UK universities on their environmental and
ethical performance.

Wondering what the meaning of life is?Good news-you'll probably feel like you know
when you're around age 60.
That's the age when people report feeling that there's the most meaning in their lives,and
they have the least need to search for meaning,according to new research published in the
January-February 2020 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
The research also found that as people's sense of meaning in life rises,so does their well-
being."People with purpose in life are physically and psychologically healthier,said
Dr.Awais Aftab,a psychiatrist at the University of California,who led the research.
Aftab and his colleagues used data from a study of adults in San Diego County that
deliberately recruited a large number of people aged 70 and older.This survey included a
question about the level of meaning people found in their life and the level of their search for
meaning.The 1,042 adults included in the study also answered questions over the telephone
about their mental and physical health.Overall,the adults in the study felt that their lives
were meaningful,and the level of their search for meaning was fairly low.
The results showed that presence of meaning starts low in the 20s and gradually rises to a
peak around age 60,on average,before declining again.The search for meaning is a mirror
image:It starts high in people's 20s and drops to an all-time low around age 60 before climbing
in older age.
"Young adults in their twenties and adults in their thirties are actively seeking out
careers,friendships,and romantic relationships,"Aftab wrote in an email."People in their
forties and fifties usually have more established careers and relationships.The active pursuit
for meaning decreases and the belief that their life is meaningful increases.After age 60,these
trends begin to reverse().With retirement and increasing health issues,the established
sources of meaning in their lives begin to fade and people tend to start searching for other
sources of meaning.”
1.What did the new research find?
A.People will live a happy life after 60.
B.Meaning of life can be found later in life.
C.A sense of meaning will reduce as we grow up.
D.Old people have a stronger need for a purpose.
2.How did the team of Dr.Awais Aftab get the results?
A.By making some phone calls.B.By collecting some information.
C.By conducting an online survey.D.By asking people to fill in questionnaires.
3.What do we learn about the level of our sense of meaning in our lifetime?
A.From low to high.
B.From high to low.
C.Low-high-low.
D.High-low-high.
4.What will happen to people after their retirement?
A.They will lose their sense of direction.
B.They will stop their search for purpose.
C.They will have a growing sense of meaning.
D.They will begin their new pursuit for meaning.

almost the same.I pulled in the driveway and helped her unload the groceries.The woman
expressed thanks and embraced(拥抱)me close.

and most of the water we use is to flush()the toilet?
1 The human body is 60%water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy.
When we are thirsty we just fill a glass with clean water.We also need water in the kitchen.
2 We have toilets in our houses and when we want to brush our teeth or have a shower,
we use the bathroom.
3 Farmers,who produce the food we eat,use water to make the plants grow.When
we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to
produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want,but this is
not the case for many people around the world.4 That's around 1 in 10 people in the
world.And did you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets?That's about 1 in 3
people in the world.
If we drink dirty water,we can catch diseases and become ill.Every year over 500,000
children die of diarrhoea()from dirty water.In Ghana,80%of all diseases are from dirty
water;in Nigeria 70%of people don't have toilets and in Nicaragua,80%of people don't have
clean drinking water.5 If children walk many hours a day to get water,they can't go to
school so they don't learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
A.We use water indirectly,too.
B.It's a good habit to save water.
C.Many people cannot drink clean water.
D.Let's take a minute to think about the water we use.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For the last few months I had noticed the brakes on my car getting weaker and weaker.
They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop and I had to push the brake pedal
further to the floor.I knew that I needed a new set of brake pads put on,but it was the middle
of a rough winter and I had so many other things to do.I kept putting it off then and babied
my brakes as much as I could.
The other night,though,I had a dream.I was driving my car on a bright,sunny day
when suddenly a stalled()car appeared in the road in front of me.I stepped on my brakes
but they didn't work and I smashed into the back of the other car.
The dream wreck awoke me with a start.The next day when I told my friends and my
boss about the dream,they firmly urged me to change my brakes and my boss even gave me a
day off so I decided to get my brake pads changed the following day.When the mechanic took
off the old ones I noticed that the pads were worn paper thin.
The day after that I was driving home from the grocery store with my daughter beside me
and my two sons in the back seat.As I neared a tight,mountain curve I saw a Semi-truck
coming from the other direction.It took the curve too fast and slid two feet over the center
line.I hit my brakes and simultaneously steered my car towards the side of the road.We
gasped as the huge truck missed us by only a foot.
It was only later when I was home safe in my bed that I realized that if I had still had my
old,worn-out brake pads on I wouldn't have been able to slow down fast enough to have
missed that truck.My children and I would have either been injured or killed.I closed my eyes
and gave thanks for that dream.I guess kindness still existed among us in this world.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Now many would say that it was just a dream and that it was all only a coincidence.
Don't ignore those messages from above.

job.I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

正确。
3.C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,通

that there's the most meaning in their lives,
and they have the least need to search for
meaning..,人们在这个年龄段(60岁)通

义的需求最少…
解析:本句是复合句。when引导定语从
句,修饰先行词the age。定语从句中“that
there's the most,.,meaning”为that引导
的同位语从句,解释说明feeling。

语法填空
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。出门在外想家
是难免的,但是作者认为,家乡固然是好,
但是外面的世界同样有着吸引力。
l.whom考查定语从句。句中the people是
先行词,故用with whom引导定语从句修
饰the people。
2.to feel考查固定句型。该句用了“It's+
adj.十for sb.to do sth.”句型,因此空格处
填动词不定式。
语法锦囊:“It十be+adj.十(for sb.)todo
sth”是常见的句型,意为“对某人来说做某
事是…的”。此处的形容词通常用来描述
76
事件,如easy、difficult、hard、necessary、
unnecessary、possible等。此外,it还常用
于“t+be+adj.十ofsb.to do sth.”结构
中,意为“某人做某事是…的”。此处的
形容词通常用来描述人的品质、性格等,如
kind、unkind、nice、rude、cruel等。
3.actually考查副词。此处用副词形式
actually修饰句子are.,there。
4.makes考查时态。句子叙述的是现在的
情况,而且动名词短语Talking to people
from home作句子主语,故谓语动词用
nakes。
5.better考查副词的比较级。根据空后的
than others可知,此处用副词的比较级说明
前后两种情况的比较。
6.themselves考查代词。此处指代上文出现
的some people,故用themselves作宾语。
7.as考查介词。work和介词as搭配,表示
“充当,用作”之意。
8.helping考查非谓语动词。空前的towards
是介词,故用动名词形式作介词的宾语。
9.nemories考查名词复数。根据and ideas
可以推知,该名词应该用复数形式。
10.different考查形容词。所填词修饰名词
reasons,.应该填形容词,故填different。.

Dear Peter,
It's nice to hear from you.I can
understand your feeling puzzled about choosing
a major at university.
There is no doubt that choosing a college
major is of great importance.To a large
extent,it will determine what you'll do in your
future life.Meanwhile,it will affect your level
of happiness in your life.
Personally,I believe the most important
thing you should consider is what your passion
is(表语从句),You must choose to learn
something you like,and then you'll do what
you love in the future.It is hard to be happy if
you spend more than half your waking hours
doing something you don't love.
I hope my idea would be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。“我”的制车失
灵了,因为工作忙,“我”一拖再拖。有一天
“我”做了一个梦,梦见自己的车出问题了。
将消息告诉朋友与老板后,他们极力劝“我”
去修车,结果在紧急情况时,新的刹车系统
起了作用。由此“我”想到朋友的珍贵。
【思路点拔】
本文已经将故事的背景、发展、结局交代
得很清楚,也就是故事已经讲述完成。
从续写部分第一段的第一句“Now many
would say that it was just a dream and that it
was all only a coincidence..”可以看出,这是
“我”对此事的议论。在前文中,因为“我”老是
担心刹车垫,因此夜里做梦,梦见自己在紧急
时刻刹车失灵,朋友们与老板担心“我”的安
全,建议“我”赶紧修车,由此产生感想。续写
第二段的首句是“Don't ignore those messages
from above.”。从这一句我们可以看出,这一
部分可以讲述“我”对朋友和老板的感激,也可
以由此感受到,关爱、善行在我们的生活中是
非常重要的,我们要将这些传递下去。
【参考范文】
Now many would say that it was just a
dream and that it was all only a coincidence.
1,however,stopped believing in coincidences a
long time ago.I know how much people around
us love us and I know that they influence us in
our lives here more than we can even imagine.
The threads of our lives weave in and out with
the lives of everyone else in this world,but
someone will see the full cloth.He knows that
every moment we live and every choice we
make are important.He sends us messages,
dreams,thoughts,and countless coincidences
then to keep us on the right path,the path of
love,the path of kindness,the path of
goodness,the path that leads us back home
again.
Don't ignore those messages from above.
Listen to your minds and don't hesitate to take
action to correct your errors.Follow those
urges to do good,give kindness,share love,
and spread joy.Notice those countless
“coincidences'”that fill your days..They can
lead you.They can guide you in this world.
They simultaneously can even save your life.
