8.in [考查固定短语。participate in为固定搭配,意为“参加”,此处指参加不同的社区服务。故填in。]
9.central [考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词parts of America,故此处应用centre的形容词形式。故填central。]
10.does [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据He works 得知,此处用一般现在时。该句主语Tom为第三人称单数,因此谓语动词用do的第三人称单数形式。故填does。]

Three Ways to Selffund College
The idea that parents should pay for their children's college education is a nice one, but it's far from a reality for many students.___1___ Whatever the case may be, it's time to take a good look at your options for funding college on your own.
Turn over every stone.
If you're not a straightA genius who could easily win college scholarships, there's good news:___2___ Check out these popular College Confidential threads to see which awards average and aboveaverage students are aiming at.Are your parents retirees? Are you a firstgeneration student? Is your family attached to any church or community groups? (Seriously, there are scholarships for all those things.) The secret to scoring major cash is following every possible source of funding.
__3__
Instead of going straight to a fouryear institution, many students are choosing to start out at an affordable community college and transfer later.__4__ If these are options that could work for you, just be sure you have a solid plan in place, and don't let yourself get sidetracked from your goal of earning a college degree.
Take what you can get.
Remember that not all valuable contributions are monetary(与钱有关的).It's time to sit down with your parents and have a serious talk about other expenses they might be able to help you with.___5___ You can save several thousand per year on housing.What about books, meals, and other expenses? Even relatively small savings can be a huge leg up in the long run.
A.Take an alternative route.
B.You don't need to be a genius to qualify for scholarships.
C.If they're fine about letting you live at home, that's great.
D.Think about if you can afford a price of around $10,000 per year.
E.Recent studies show a widespread lack of understanding of the real cost of college.
F.Similarly, some choose to take a year or two off after high school to save up as much as possible.
G.Some parents believe the responsibility of paying for college should fall on the person seeking a degree— that's you.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大学生自筹资金的三种方法。
1.G [根据前句The idea that parents should pay for their children's college education is a nice one, but it's far from a reality for many students.父母为孩子上大学付钱对许多学生来说并不现实。可知选项承接上文,故G选项“一些父母认为大学生有责任为自己的大学付费”切题。故选G。]
2.B [根据前句If you' re not a straightA genius who could easily win college scholarships, there's good news可知,如果你不是一个可以轻松获得大学奖学金的优等生,那么有个好消息。所以选项解释好消息的内容。故B选项“你不是天才也可以获得奖学金”切题。故选B。]
3.A [本题考查本段主题句。对比其它两个主题句,可知此处用动词原形开头的祈使句,再根据本段内容主要讲述可以通过多种方法获得大学文凭,可知这里用主题句Take an alternative route.“走另一条路”切题。故选A。]
4.F [根据本段主题句及前句Instead of going straight to a fouryear institution, many students are choosing to start out at an affordable community college and transfer later.可知,许多学生没有直接进入一所四年制的大学,而是选择从一所负担得起的社区学院开始,以后再转学。所以选项在说还可以怎么做以此筹集资金。故F选项“ 同样地,学生也可以选择在高中之后抽出一到两年挣钱付大学费用”切题。故选F。]
5.C [根据前句It's time to sit down with your parents and have a serious talk about other expenses they might be able to help you with.是时候和你的父母坐下来好好谈谈他们能帮你的其他开销了。尤其后句提示 You can save several thousand per year on housing.每年可以在住房上节省几千元,可知选项承接上下文,故F选项“如果父母能够帮助你,让你在家里住,那就更好了 ”切题。故选C。]

In the cold and plain living room, Matt is sitting in his chair. His eyes don't shine anyone. He looks extremely old and weak. Today is his birthday, and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness. Also, it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.
Throughout college, Matt had a friend named Mark. Mark was tall and skinny. He wore thick glasses. He was shy, smart and responsible. Also, Mark didn't have as many friends as Matt had. He considered Matt as his best friend. As good friends, they knew everything about each other, and they hung out. Also, they overcame many problems together. They were really good friends.
On his twentyfourth birthday their life changed. On the night before his birthday, Mark called Matt, “Hi! Matt,”his voice sounded strange. He continued, “I have an important project to work on. I'm having some problems with this. Maybe, you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas. Could you?”Matt asked, “What time?”Mark kept in silence for a minute, then he said, “At 8 p. m. Is it good for you?”Then Matt answered, “OK! See you later.”At that night, it was Matt's birthday. So, he didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project, Matt went to a club with some other guys.
The next morning, Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently. When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely. He left the classroom without saying one word. As Mark was walking away, Matt said in an angry voice, “You are selfish. You are just thinking about yourself. I was having fun on my birthday. Why can't you understand it?”

[参考范文]
While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say, “How can you say such thing to Mark? You don't know what happened! Last night, he called you many times, but he didn't get any answer from you. He was worried about what was going wrong with you. He took his car and drove all night looking for you. He looked at the hospital, the jail, and bars...” Matt started to apologize to Mallory and to himself, saying, “Why did he do it? He could work on the project by himself, and...” At that time Mallory spoke angrily, “Shut up! He had prepared a surprising birthday party for you, and we waited for you or for a call all night long.”
Tears fell from his eyes. Matt didn't know what to say or what to do. Before he said anything, Mallory had left the classroom. He sat down and stayed there for a long time. He looked around the classroom. It was cold and plain without his friends. It was empty, just like his living room now.
