Ⅱ. 阅读理解
The UK has a well respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospects(前景)of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking(令人焦虑不安的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which club should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week:
•Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette(礼节). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
•Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
•Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his room.
•Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits. (299W)

A. the newcomers usually miss the days living at home
B. most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities
C. many freshers are worried about how to fit in with university life
D. all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
3. Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy?
A. To pass the busy university life.

Ⅲ. 阅读第二节
(2024·天水模拟)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Your school days should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and ensure that you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?
Be positive about school! Don’t say things which are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.
Expect to work. 2 If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
3 Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.
Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go bad. 4 Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.
Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!
Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday mornings. Go and play a sport, learn to play the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.
Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. Try to make progress bit by bit.

A. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days.
B. Ways to have a happy school life
C. Do today’s work today!

F. School is not a holiday camp.
