8．When you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike （most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．
　　One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．
　　International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students．
　　Another good thing to experience early is college dining．Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor．In this way，you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls．
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website，and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces．
24．For a newcomer to Oxford，what does he have to do first？C
A．to work out what to major in．

D．to buy a new mobile phone．

分析 本文主要介紹了在牛津大學的一些情況，包括到了牛津大學后，騎自行車是首先可以處理的事情之一；入校不久的學生正式進入牛津大學的典禮以及請吃飯的問題．

解答 24．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的"Some of the first things ourstudents do …．including finding a bike…．"可知到了牛津大學后，騎自行車是首先可以處理的事情之一．而不是選項A選專業(yè)，選項B開QQ賬戶，選項 D買新手機，故選C．
25．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的"Matriculation is held …and is theceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．"可知matriculation是你正式進入大學的典禮，所以matriculation是學生正式進入牛津大學的典禮，故選B．
26．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段的"The day covers topics such asstudying and learning Oxford system and university services…such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．這一天包括學習牛津系統(tǒng)和大學服務，如就業(yè)，移民和簽證，健康和安全．通過排除法可判斷D正確． A．錯在要學習和了解的是Oxford system而不是Cambridge system．B．錯在提到了"insurance"而本文并未提及保險問題．C．跟"fellow students"見面是在Oientation Day 結(jié)束之后的社交時間里可以做的事情．故選D．
27．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二、三段"Most colleges have a tradition ofregular hall dinners，…．you can invitepeople around …可知很多大學都有自己的學生邀請其他大學學生到自己學校吃飯的傳統(tǒng)，人之常情一般是要回請的，因此return the favor 可以理解為"回請"．故選A．

點評 本文是人生感悟類閱讀，主要考查細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做細節(jié)理解題時，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應的段落、句子或短語．認真比較選項和文中細節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

19．Years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn′t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish"，I remember being even more upset then because，"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does．
   As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade．Yet，fish don't have any eyelids（眼皮）and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．
   When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．

56．Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？A
A．He could not catch a fish．
B．His father was not patient with him．

57．What did the author's father really mean？D
A．To read about fish．

A．in deep water on sunny days
B．in deep water on cloudy days
C．in shallow water under sunlight
D．in shallow water under waterside trees．
59．After entering the business world，the author foundB
A．it easy to think like a customer
B．his father's fishing advice inspiring

17．An American company has developed a car powered by electricity that travels at high speed like cars powered by traditional fuels．Company officials say the car is experimental and will not be sold to the public for a long while．Yet some experts have called the vehicle（交通工具） an important step toward the production of pollution-free automobiles （汽車）．The new car，called the Impact，was made by the General Motors company．Engineers say the Impact uses technology developed for the car that won the first international race for vehicles powered by sunlight．The Impact creat es no air pollution because its power comes from a large battery（電瓶）．It can travel at a speed of 88 kilometers an hour．Then the battery must be refueled with more electricity．The battery can be refueled in a few hours with electric current （電流） from a person's house．It must be replaced completely every two years．The Impact has two motors．Each powers one of the front wheels．Reports say the car makes almost no noise at low speed．It makes a small noise as it goes faster．The Impact has a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour and it can go from zero to 96 kilometers an hour in eight seconds．That is faster than most gas-powered cars．
The head of General Motors，Roger Smith，has not said how much the Impact might cost，but he says it would have to be competitive with other car prices．Mr Smith also says a few problems still remain．For example，the cost of operating the Impact today would be about twice that of other cars．Reports say the new electric car has raised hopes among environmental officials，especially in California．American car makers are hurrying to meet new air pollution laws in that state．General Motors says California would be the main market for the Impact．But the company says it would not produce the car at all unless people all over the United States wanted to buy it．Some company officials say the car could be in production within five years．

28．The highest speed the Impact can reach isCkilometers an hour．
A.88  B.96  C.160  D.190
