From a very young age, Tesla was interested in electricity. In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job. It was there that Tesla first thought of the idea of the alternating current (交流电) (AC). In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison. But Tesla worked for Edison for less than a year. Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe. But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe. In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls. And he did it using the AC motor. After the success of AC, Tesla became well known. He travelled and spoke to many scientists about his inventions and ideas. He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built. As Tesla got older, he continued to come up with new ideas and theories. But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas. Tesla gave speeches about creating electrical power from the earth’s atmosphere. He also talked about ways that wireless electricity and communication could power things all over the world. But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy. However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology. Tesla’s last years were lonely and sad. He received many awards, but received very little money. When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day! 41. Why did Tesla stop working for Edison? A. Tesla was badly paid there. B. They had some disagreements. C. They had very different characters. D. Tesla wanted to move back to Europe. 42. Which of the following is the correct order about Tesla’s life experiences? a．Tesla’s lab burned down. b．Tesla worked for Edison. c．Tesla built a water power plant. d．Tesla moved to Budapest. A. d-b-c-a. B. d-b-a-c. C. b-d-c-a. D. b-c-d-a. 43. In his later years, Tesla ______. A. lived a colorful life B. was misunderstood and doubted C. was unable to think out new ideas D. earned a lot as an award-winning inventor 44. What can we learn from the text? A. Tesla became famous as an assistant to Edison. B. Tesla was way ahead of modern technology. C. Tesla had great interest in travelling. D. Tesla was not good at speeches. 45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Nicola Tesla, a challenger for difficulties B. Nicola Tesla, a dreamer in science C. Nicola Tesla, a forgotten inventor D. Nicola Tesla, a strange scientist 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了发明家尼古拉·特斯拉的生平、科研成就、人生遭遇，以及其发明和想法对如今人们生活的深远影响。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe.(特斯拉确信他的交流电动机是获取和传输电能的最佳方式。然而，爱迪生认为他使用直流电的方法更好，并认为交流电是不安全的。)”可知，特斯拉和爱迪生在电流使用的问题上存在分歧，这是特斯拉不再为爱迪生工作的原因。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job.(1881年，特斯拉搬到布达佩斯并找到了一份工作。)”，第二段中的“In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison.(1884年，特斯拉搬到美国，为托马斯·爱迪生工作。)”，第三段中的“In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls.(1895年，特斯拉利用尼亚加拉大瀑布的能量设计了第一座水力发电站。)”和“He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built.(他建了一个大型实验室。然而，它建成后不久就被烧毁了。)”可知，事件的正确顺序为d-b-c-a。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas.(但他不再那么成功和有名了。许多人都不知道某些发明其实是特斯拉的想法。)”和第五段中的“But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy.(但对他那个时代的人来说，这些想法听起来很疯狂。)”可知，特斯拉晚年的想法不被当时的人理解，还受到了质疑。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology.(然而，他的一些想法现在得到了现代研究和技术的支持。)”可知，特斯拉的一些想法在他的时代不被认可，却在如今被证实，说明他的想法远超当时的科技水平，走在了现代科技的前面。故选B项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day!(1943年他去世时，已经不再出名，还感觉自己被遗忘了。如今，没有多少人知道尼古拉·特斯拉这个名字，但他的发明和想法却每天都在影响着我们的生活！)”可知，文章讲述了特斯拉的一生，重点突出了他生前和死后都不被太多人知晓的境遇，因此“被遗忘的发明家尼古拉·特斯拉”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C Think about all the plastic in our lives like plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic plates. Also, think about those forks and spoons in your school cafeteria. They may be plastic. For better or for worse, plastic seems to be everywhere. Back in the 1990s, a man named Charles Moore discovered a huge floating island of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean. Since then, four more floating islands of plastic have been discovered in other parts of the world. With time going, Moore says, the island that he discovered is growing and spreading much farther than he expected. He made that discovery during a 30-day research expedition (考察). “They found a lot more plastic than they’ve ever seen farther away from the area that’s called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” said Marieta Francis, the executive director of the A.M.R.I. — an institute that Moore created to investigate the floating plastic problem. “They ran across it sooner than expected.” Experts say they’re not sure what all this plastic is doing to the health of our oceans or our own health. They suspect that small fish are eating tiny bits of the plastic and that those tiny little bits are getting into bigger fish when the bigger fish eat the small fish. Of course, we’re at the top of the food chain — most of the time, at least. So that means if the plastic is getting into the big fish, then it’s getting into the fish we eat and very possibly getting into us. Moore and other researchers hope to figure out what effect all that plastic is having. But experts say their research is still in its very early stages. “What we do know for sure right now is that anywhere from 10,000 to 35,000 tons of plastic is floating on the surface of our oceans. And we humans put it there,” said Moore. 46. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Plastic can be shaped very easily. B. Plastic has a terrible effect on people’s lives. C. Many items in daily use are made out of plastic. D. Plastic products should not be used in school cafeterias. 47. What has Moore found? A. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is beginning to disappear gradually. B. Four islands of plastic have appeared in the South Pacific Ocean. C. The floating plastic problem can be solved easily. D. The island of plastic has grown beyond his expectation. 48. According to experts, the floating plastic ______. A. may threaten human health B. may cut off the food chain C. has caused a lot of fish to die D. has become part of most fish’s food 49. When mentioning the islands of plastic, Moore may feel ______. A. confident B. worried C. enthusiastic D. confused 50. The purpose of the text is to ______. A. call on people to fight against the islands of plastic B. warn human beings of the bad effect of the islands of plastic C. report what researchers have found about the islands of plastic D. criticize human beings for what they have done to the oceans 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍海洋中塑料垃圾岛的发现情况、其不断扩散的现状以及塑料可能带来的健康影响和相关研究进展。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Think about all the plastic in our lives like plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic plates. Also, think about those forks and spoons in your school cafeteria. They may be plastic.(想想我们生活中所有的塑料制品，比如塑料袋、塑料杯和塑料盘。再想想你学校食堂里的那些叉子和勺子，它们可能也是塑料做的。)”可知，作者列举了生活中多种塑料制品，说明日常生活里很多物品都是由塑料制成的。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With time going, Moore says, the island that he discovered is growing and spreading much farther than he expected.(摩尔说，随着时间的推移，他发现的这个塑料垃圾岛正在不断扩大，扩散的范围也远远超出了他的预期。)”可知，摩尔发现他所找到的塑料垃圾岛的规模和扩散范围都超出了自己的预期。故选D项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Experts say they’re not sure what all this plastic is doing to the health of our oceans or our own health. They suspect that small fish are eating tiny bits of the plastic and that those tiny little bits are getting into bigger fish when the bigger fish eat the small fish. Of course, we’re at the top of the food chain — most of the time, at least. So that means if the plastic is getting into the big fish, then it’s getting into the fish we eat and very possibly getting into us. (专家们表示，他们不确定这些塑料会对海洋健康和人类自身健康造成什么影响。他们怀疑小鱼会吃塑料微粒，而当大鱼捕食小鱼时，这些塑料微粒就会进入大鱼体内。当然，至少在大多数时候，人类处于食物链的顶端。这就意味着如果塑料进入了大鱼体内，就会进入我们食用的鱼类体内，并且非常有可能进入人体。)”可知，塑料会通过食物链层层传递最终可能进入人体，因此漂浮的塑料可能会威胁到人类的健康。故选A项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“With time going, Moore says, the island that he discovered is growing and spreading much farther than he expected.(摩尔说，随着时间的推移，他发现的这个塑料垃圾岛正在不断扩大，扩散的范围也远远超出了他的预期。)”以及最后一段中的““What we do know for sure right now is that anywhere from 10,000 to 35,000 tons of plastic is floating on the surface of our oceans. And we humans put it there,” said Moore. (摩尔说：“目前我们能确定的是，有一万到三万五千吨的塑料漂浮在海洋表面，而这些都是我们人类丢弃的。”)”可知，摩尔发现塑料垃圾岛不断扩散，且知晓海洋中有大量塑料垃圾源于人类行为，面对这样的现状，他大概会感到担忧。故选B项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Back in the 1990s, a man named Charles Moore discovered a huge floating island of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean.(早在20世纪90年代，一个名叫查尔斯·摩尔的人在北太平洋发现了一个巨大的漂浮塑料垃圾岛。)”，第三段中马里埃塔·弗朗西斯的表述，第四段专家对塑料影响的分析以及最后一段中摩尔的研究发现可知，文章主要是客观报道了研究人员关于海洋塑料垃圾岛的一系列发现，包括发现过程、现状和潜在影响等。故选C项。 D Dear Amanda, As the Dean of Yale College, I am writing, to congratulate you on your academic success and to introduce you to Yale’s diverse opportunities. ...As you consider your college options, I hope that Yale remains among your top choices. This is part of an e-mail I received this fall. I admit it made me feel pretty special to have Yale approach me, an average high school senior. But why me? My grades are nothing to brag about. I didn’t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. I haven’t led a team sport or conducted scientific research. Later, I learned that each year, Yale sends mailings to roughly 80,000 potential students for its freshman class of 1,300. For the class of 2018, Yale rejected 93.7 percent of its applicants. And, according to the College Board, 95 percent of Yale’s enrolled (注册入学) students were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes. Colleges want a top ranking. One way to get it? Low acceptance rates, which come from attracting lots and lots of applicants — and then rejecting almost all of them. So schools mail fancy brochures and send sincere e-mails to many more students than they’ll accept. Top schools defend their marketing, arguing that they’re reaching students who otherwise might not apply. As William Fitzsimmons, dean of Harvard admissions, said: “There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go. The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good, but is that a reason not to try?” But most of the students Fitzsimmons is talking about don’t consider Harvard because they’re not academically qualified. Kids like me don’t need false hope. Approaching students with a slim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment. So Yale (and Brown and Columbia), stop selling me on impossible dreams. 51. Why did Yale send the author an e-mail? A. To show it’s a top college. B. To persuade her to apply to it. C. To introduce its diverse courses. D. To send its congratulations to her. 52. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. worry about B. think about C. be proud of D. be ashamed of 53. What can we learn about Yale’s admission situation from the article? A. Yale accepts all the students it sends emails to. B. The acceptance rate of Yale is relatively high. C. Most of the students Yale accepts have average grades. D. Yale sends mailings to a large number of potential students. 54. What can we infer from Fitzsimmons’ words? A. A good beginning makes a good ending. B. A brave attempt is a half success. C. The older, the wiser. D. No pains, no gains. 55. What does the author think of the approaches of top colleges? A She finds them easy to understand. B. She seems satisfied with them. C. She considers them necessary. D. She finds them annoying. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者收到耶鲁大学邮件展开，探讨顶尖高校招生营销方式及作者对此的看法。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As the Dean of Yale College, I am writing, to congratulate you on your academic success and to introduce you to Yale’s diverse opportunities. ...As you consider your college options, I hope that Yale remains among your top choices.(作为耶鲁学院院长，我写这封信是为了祝贺你在学业上取得的成功，并向你介绍耶鲁丰富多彩的机会。……当你考虑选择大学时，我希望耶鲁仍然是你首选之一)”可推知，耶鲁给作者发邮件是为了说服她申请该校。故选B。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“My grades are nothing to brag about.(我的成绩没什么值得brag about)”以及后文作者提及自己成绩普通、未获得相关奖项的内容可知，作者成绩普通，没什么可骄傲的，brag about意思是“吹嘘，骄傲”，与“be proud of”意思相近。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Later, I learned that each year, Yale sends mailings to roughly 80,000 potential students for its freshman class of 1,300.(后来，我了解到，每年耶鲁都会给大约8万名潜在学生寄邮件，而它的大一新生只有1300人)”可知，耶鲁给大量潜在学生寄邮件。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“As William Fitzsimmons, dean of Harvard admissions, said: “There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go. The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good, but is that a reason not to try?”(正如哈佛大学招生主任威廉·菲茨西蒙斯所说：“世界上有那么多学生可能不会自然而然地把哈佛当作一个可以报考的地方。在任何事情上达到顶峰的机会都不大，但这是不尝试的理由吗？”)”可推知，菲茨西蒙斯认为勇敢尝试就是成功的一半。故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Kids like me don’t need false hope. Approaching students with a slim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment.(像我这样的孩子不需要虚假的希望。联系那些录取机会渺茫的学生只会造成更多的困惑和失望)”以及最后一段“So Yale (and Brown and Columbia), stop selling me on impossible dreams.(所以耶鲁（还有布朗大学和哥伦比亚大学），别再向我兜售不可能实现的梦想了)”可推知，作者认为顶尖大学的这种招生方式令人厌烦。故选D。 Ⅴ．阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Hot dogs! Hot dogs! This variation on a German sausage has become extremely popular in America. It is a popular concession (小吃摊) sold at America’s most beloved sporting events, baseball games. Americans love hot dog because they’re easy and delicious. Hot dogs are also very popular during summer cookouts, where people get together and they cook food outside on a grill (烤架). Sausage, the main part of a hot dog, has been around since the 9th century B.C. It was first mentioned in The Odyssey, an epic poem (史诗) by the Greek poet, Homer. But, the type of sausage used in a hot dog, is called a frankfurter, and it originated in the 13th century, in Germany. Then, German immigrants brought the sausage to America. Later on, in about 1871, Charles Feltman, a German butcher, came up with the idea of putting a frankfurter sausage in the middle of a milk roll. And the hot dogs sold very well in many amusement parks in Brooklyn, New York. And so, an American tradition was born. There are many different kinds of hot dogs out there, such as the Chicago Dog (beef hot dog topped with small pieces of onions, tomato slices, and sweet sauce). Even with all these hot dog styles, you can still make your favorite hot dog. Sometimes, in my family, when we feel like making a simple dinner, we’ll take out the mini grill to make hot dogs. We have a long standing tradition of putting every condiment (佐料) in the refrigerator on top of our hot dogs. Out of all the hot dogs we’ve made, my favorite is the hot dog with everything on top. Note. don’t wear a white shirt while eating. It may be messy. Have fun and make your own hot dog! Eat and enjoy. 56. Why are hot dogs popular in America?(no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word “cookouts” in the first paragraph probably mean?(1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What are Paragraphs 2&3 mainly about?(no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the author suggest when eating hot dogs?(no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you like eating hot dogs?

Hot dog’s origin/History of hot dogs 59. Avoid wearing white shirts and enjoy making your own hot dog. 60. 答案不唯一。参考答案可为Yes, I do. Because they’re convenient and taste great. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了热狗的起源、发展历程与多样款式，提及它在美国体育赛事和夏季活动中的受欢迎程度，还分享了家庭制作与食用建议。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Americans love hot dog because they’re easy and delicious.(美国人喜欢热狗，因为它们简单又美味。)”可知，热狗在美国受欢迎的原因是简单且美味。故填Because they’re easy and delicious. 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Hot dogs are also very popular during summer cookouts, where people get together and they cook food outside on a grill (烤架).(热狗在夏季cookouts时也很受欢迎，人们聚在一起，在户外烤架上烹饪食物。)” 可知，“cookouts”指人们在户外烤架上烹饪食物，即“烧烤”。故填Barbecues. 【58题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But, the type of sausage used in a hot dog, is called a frankfurter, and it originated in the 13th century, in Germany.(但是，热狗中使用的香肠类型叫做法兰克福香肠，它起源于13世纪的德国。)”和第三段“Later on, in about 1871, Charles Feltman, a German butcher, came up with the idea of putting a frankfurter sausage in the middle of a milk roll.(后来在大约1871年，德国屠夫查尔斯・费尔特曼想出了一个主意 —— 把法兰克福香肠夹在牛奶面包卷中间。)”可知，两段主要讲述热狗的起源和发展历史。故填Hot dog’s origin/History of hot dogs. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段 “Note: don’t wear a white shirt while eating. It may be messy. Have fun and make your own hot dog! Eat and enjoy.(注意：吃饭时不要穿白衬衫。可能会弄得很脏。尽情享受，自己做热狗吧！吃好喝好。)”可知，作者建议吃热狗时不穿白衬衫、尽情享受自己做热狗。故填Avoid wearing white shirts and enjoy making your own hot dog. 【60题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案可以为：是的，我喜欢。因为它们很方便，味道也很棒。故填Yes, I do. Because they’re convenient and taste great.

In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job. It was there that Tesla first thought of the idea of the alternating current (交流电) (AC). In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison. But Tesla worked for Edison for less than a year. Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe. But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe. In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls. And he did it using the AC motor. After the success of AC, Tesla became well known. He travelled and spoke to many scientists about his inventions and ideas. He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built. As Tesla got older, he continued to come up with new ideas and theories. But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas. Tesla gave speeches about creating electrical power from the earth’s atmosphere. He also talked about ways that wireless electricity and communication could power things all over the world. But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy. However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology. Tesla’s last years were lonely and sad. He received many awards, but received very little money. When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day! 41. Why did Tesla stop working for Edison? A. Tesla was badly paid there. B.

Nicola Tesla, a strange scientist C Think about all the plastic in our lives like plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic plates. Also, think about those forks and spoons in your school cafeteria. They may be plastic. For better or for worse, plastic seems to be everywhere. Back in the 1990s, a man named Charles Moore discovered a huge floating island of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean. Since then, four more floating islands of plastic have been discovered in other parts of the world. With time going, Moore says, the island that he discovered is growing and spreading much farther than he expected. He made that discovery during a 30-day research expedition (考察). “They found a lot more plastic than they’ve ever seen farther away from the area that’s called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” said Marieta Francis, the executive director of the A.M.R.I. — an institute that Moore created to investigate the floating plastic problem. “They ran across it sooner than expected.” Experts say they’re not sure what all this plastic is doing to the health of our oceans or our own health. They suspect that small fish are eating tiny bits of the plastic and that those tiny little bits are getting into bigger fish when the bigger fish eat the small fish. Of course, we’re at the top of the food chain — most of the time, at least. So that means if the plastic is getting into the big fish, then it’s getting into the fish we eat and very possibly getting into us. Moore and other researchers hope to figure out what effect all that plastic is having. But experts say their research is still in its very early stages. “What we do know for sure right now is that anywhere from 10,000 to 35,000 tons of plastic is floating on the surface of our oceans. And we humans put it there,” said Moore. 46. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Plastic can be shaped very easily. B. Plastic has a terrible effect on people’s lives. C. Many items in daily use are made out of plastic. D. Plastic products should not be used in school cafeterias. 47. What has Moore found? A.

The island of plastic has grown beyond his expectation. 48. According to experts, the floating plastic ______. A. may threaten human health B may cut off the food chain C. has caused a lot of fish to die D. has become part of most fish’s food 49. When mentioning the islands of plastic, Moore may feel ______.

A. call on people to fight against the islands of plastic B. warn human beings of the bad effect of the islands of plastic C. report what researchers have found about the islands of plastic D. criticize human beings for what they have done to the oceans D Dear Amanda, As the Dean of Yale College, I am writing, to congratulate you on your academic success and to introduce you to Yale’s diverse opportunities. ...As you consider your college options, I hope that Yale remains among your top choices. This is part of an e-mail I received this fall. I admit it made me feel pretty special to have Yale approach me, an average high school senior. But why me? My grades are nothing to brag about. I didn’t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. I haven’t led a team sport or conducted scientific research. Later, I learned that each year, Yale sends mailings to roughly 80,000 potential students for its freshman class of 1,300. For the class of 2018, Yale rejected 93.7 percent of its applicants. And, according to the College Board, 95 percent of Yale’s enrolled (注册入学) students were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes. Colleges want a top ranking. One way to get it? Low acceptance rates, which come from attracting lots and lots of applicants — and then rejecting almost all of them. So schools mail fancy brochures and send sincere e-mails to many more students than they’ll accept. Top schools defend their marketing, arguing that they’re reaching students who otherwise might not apply. As William Fitzsimmons, dean of Harvard admissions, said: “There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go. The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good, but is that a reason not to try?” But most of the students Fitzsimmons is talking about don’t consider Harvard because they’re not academically qualified. Kids like me don’t need false hope. Approaching students with a slim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment. So Yale (and Brown and Columbia), stop selling me on impossible dreams. 51. Why did Yale send the author an e-mail? A. To show it’s a top college. B. To persuade her to apply to it. C. To introduce its diverse courses. D. To send its congratulations to her. 52. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. worry about B. think about C. be proud of D. be ashamed of 53. What can we learn about Yale’s admission situation from the article? A. Yale accepts all the students it sends emails to. B. The acceptance rate of Yale is relatively high. C. Most of the students Yale accepts have average grades. D. Yale sends mailings to a large number of potential students. 54. What can we infer from Fitzsimmons’ words? A. A good beginning makes a good ending. B. A brave attempt is a half success. C. The older, the wiser. D. No pains, no gains. 55. What does the author think of the approaches of top colleges? A. She finds them easy to understand. B. She seems satisfied with them. C. She considers them necessary. D She finds them annoying. Ⅴ．阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Hot dogs! Hot dogs! This variation on a German sausage has become extremely popular in America. It is a popular concession (小吃摊) sold at America’s most beloved sporting events, baseball games. Americans love hot dog because they’re easy and delicious. Hot dogs are also very popular during summer cookouts, where people get together and they cook food outside on a grill (烤架). Sausage, the main part of a hot dog, has been around since the 9th century B.C. It was first mentioned in The Odyssey, an epic poem (史诗) by the Greek poet, Homer. But, the type of sausage used in a hot dog, is called a frankfurter, and it originated in the 13th century, in Germany. Then, German immigrants brought the sausage to America. Later on, in about 1871, Charles Feltman, a German butcher, came up with the idea of putting a frankfurter sausage in the middle of a milk roll. And the hot dogs sold very well in many amusement parks in Brooklyn, New York. And so, an American tradition was born. There are many different kinds of hot dogs out there, such as the Chicago Dog (beef hot dog topped with small pieces of onions, tomato slices, and sweet sauce). Even with all these hot dog styles, you can still make your favorite hot dog. Sometimes, in my family, when we feel like making a simple dinner, we’ll take out the mini grill to make hot dogs. We have a long standing tradition of putting every condiment (佐料) in the refrigerator on top of our hot dogs. Out of all the hot dogs we’ve made, my favorite is the hot dog with everything on top. Note. don’t wear a white shirt while eating. It may be messy. Have fun and make your own hot dog! Eat and enjoy. 56.
