Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language) ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. You may enroll in available seats after the priority enrollment period. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you. Changing Your Course Enrollment List You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it. Withdrawing (退出) from Courses If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record Taking Exams Some instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making them available to all students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask questions and what they regard as relevant (相关的) material. You can also access the exams online. 36. Who gets priority in ESL course enrollment? A. International students. B. Degree-seeking students. C. First-year exchange students. D. Students with high test scores. 37. What is the purpose of the ESL Placement Test? A. To improve the students’ language skills. B. To encourage the students to answer questions. C. To put the students in a class that fits them. D. To help the students apply for a degree. 38. What is the deadline for a free enrollment list change? A. The day when the class is full. B. The first day of instruction. C. The first week of the class. D. The end of the second week. 39. What should exchange students do if they choose to stop taking a course? A. Go through the procedures to drop it. B. Seek assistance from UCLA officials. C. Present past academic records to UCLA. D. Make a request to the Registration Office. 40. Working on previous tests helps students ______. A. imitate the way that their instructors write test questions B. learn how questions are asked and what they are based on C. come up with new ideas about how testing relates to teaching D. narrow down to what has not yet been covered in online tests B When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed. I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines! Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging. The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的). Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future. 41. What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model? A. She won a national contest. B. She wanted to get reputation and wealth. C. She was urged by some modeling agencies. D. She had full potential to be a successful model. 42. What’s the author’s parents’ attitude toward her dream? A. Encouraging. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Enthusiastic. 43. What was that made the author end her attempt to become a model? A. Her parents were strongly against it. B. She realized that it was impossible for her. C. Even a local modeling agency turned her down. D. She realized that she didn’t actually love the idea of modeling. 44. The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means A. the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset angry, etc B. the final result that she was admitted by the model company C. the final audition given by the agency D. the decision that she made at last not to be a model anymore 45. What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model? A. Where there’s a will there’s away. B. Being a model is not that easy. C. We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others. D. We might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow. C I received a private message on my social media account. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. We want to invite you to join our next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Social media was running my life, not me. But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set a bad example for him. Before social media became popular, surfing the Internet was an occasional/ distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example for my son, I deactivated my social media account. I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day, so I had to come up with some new ideas. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting (针织). I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and my son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I was completely in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to social media. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family members far and wide. I check out it on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 46. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 47. What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Closed. B. Updated. C. Kept. D. Checked. 48. What did the author do to change her life? A. She went to the gym as often as she could. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to make money for her holidays. D. She travelled around a lot for a year. 49. What did the author think of the break from social media? A. It was good for her eyes. B. It stopped her getting news. C. It distanced her from her friends. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 50. What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 第Ⅱ卷 V.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In my early 30s, I struggled to find a dream job. One of my friends reminded me that I’d always loved beauty, and suggested I apply for a licence, which would give me the freedom to set up my own business. However, the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000, which was out of my budget. I knew that my salary wouldn’t cover all the fees, even if I worked extra hours every day. I’d seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals. I thought I’d do the same. Then, on a Friday night, I received a large amount of money in my bank account, which made me really surprised. There had been some mistakes. I assumed it was an illegal trick. It turned out to be a donation. The name on it is one I instantly recognized: Chrissy Teigen, my favorite TV host. She had left a note: “I’ve seen that this has been your dream for such a long time. I’m so happy to lend you a hand.” I called my mom immediately. I was crying and not making much sense. I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true. The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her, but it was life-changing for me. Lots of other people donated after her. Soon I paid all the fees for the course. I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve now set up my own business, and I always think about Chrissy’s generosity. I did thank her, and I still follow each other on Twitter. Hopefully, I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday. 51. Why couldn’t the author set up her own business?
