【題目】Starting college is a difficult transition for many students. Here are some ways to make the transition a little bit easier.

Get involved. By joining a team, you not only get to meet older students who can help you get through the transition, you also make friends quickly and have things to do. One of the huge differences from high school to college is the amount of free time you have.1

Have an open mind. Especially if you are going to a bigger school, it’s important to have an open mind. 2 Yet when you get to college, there are people from all over that have different views on things and act in a different way.

Stay focused. 3 . It is so easy to get caught up in your social life and forget about the academics. Remain focused on your schoolwork and figure out what you want to study, but be sure to have time for social activities as well.

4 Take care of your body. Being away from home and no longer having parents looking after you doesn’t mean you have to throw away all the things you learned about staying healthy. Eat healthily and play sports as you did in high school to stay in shape.

Again, the transition from high school to college can be extremely challenging.5 By following some of these tips, hopefully your transition will be a little smoother and you will get the most out of your freshman year in college!

A.Enjoy the sports.

B.Work to stay healthy.

C.When you are healthy, you feel better.

D.It may not come as easy to you as it does for some students.

E.How you decide to use it determines how well you do in school.

F.You may be used to the people from your town and your high school.

G.The main thing to remember when starting college is what you are actually there for.

Contrary to people's previous knowledge, it's food shortage not dietary preference that motivates birds to migrate thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and nonbreeding areas each year, a new research shows.

“It's not whether you eat insects,fruits or candy bars or where you eat them that counts,but how reliable that daytoday food source is,” said the study leader W.Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.

To figure out the underlying pressure that drives some birds to leave home for the season,Boyle examined 379 related species of New World flycatchers(捕蠅鳥) and compared their sizes,food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.

To compare the birds,the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary relationships among different species.

A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird's environment was forcing it to leave each season.Boyle and her colleagues found that food shortage was the number one issue that predicted a species' migratory behavior. “Food availability is the underlying pressure, not diet and habitat,” Boyle said.

An alternative strategy that the birds use to handle food shortage is to hunt in flocks, since a group is more likely to find a new source of food than an individual.

“If you suffer from food shortage, you have two options,” Boyle said.“You can either hunt with other birds or you can migrate.”

【1】Birds were thought to migrate in order to ________.

A.seek their favorite food ina new place

B.avoid being constantly hunted

C.breed more young in a new place

D.adjust themselves to the changes of weather

【2】What is Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?

A.The aim of the research.

B.The basis of the research.

C.The process of the research.

D.The findings of the research.

【3】The passage implies that ________.

A.the birds' food sources are getting rare in the world

B.the living surroundings are severe for birds

C.birds search for food separately

D.birds can survive only by hunting in flocks

【4】For what purpose does the author write the text?

A.Educating readers.

B.Informing readers.

C.Drawing people's attention.

D.Condemning the bad environment.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easytoswallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中風) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow.

Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管).A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with preexisting heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(靈活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease—responsible for 180,000 deaths a year—and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(關節(jié)炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer.

Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterraneanstyle diet rich in tomatoes, fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(膽固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease.

Preliminary results from a twomonth trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the endothelium—the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the/span> gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise.

Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge University's clinical trials unit, said,“These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.”

Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterollowing drugs.

Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, that's a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A.We can eat too much tomato food.

B.Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.

C.Tomatoes will lose healthy elements if they are put into pills.

D.We had better not eat tomatoes.

【2】We can learn from the passage that the pills ________.

A.are at the experiment stage

B.can cure all the disease

C.are widely used among patients

D.cost patients so little money

【3】Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?

A.Children. B.Youth.

C.Working people. D.Old healthy people.

【4】What was Ian Wilkinson's opinion on the trial?

A.Disappointing. B.Surprising.

C.Satisfactory. D.Terrible.
