3.When you first arrive in Oxford,it may take a little while for you to find your way around.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 the 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 cultural 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.

28.For a newcomer to Oxford,what does he have to do first?C
A.To work out what to major in.
B.To open a qq account.
C.To get a bike to go around.
D.To buy a new mobile phone.
29.What is matriculation?B

B.A ceremony when students are formally admitted to Oxford.
C.Performances held at the Sheldonian Theatre.
D.The best places to socialize.
30.Which talk can students attend on the orientation day?D
A.Studying in the Cambridge system.
B.Talks on how to meet fellow students.
C.Practical issues like employment,immigration,and health.

A.Treating you to dinner.

C.Studying the subjects with your friend.
D.Showing you around the college.

分析 本文主要寫了到牛津大學(xué)后,學(xué)生們要做的事情.

解答 28.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,從第一段"Some of the first things our students do…including finding a bike…"可知到了牛津大學(xué)后,騎自行車是首先可以處理的事情之一.而不是A選專業(yè),B開QQ賬戶,D買新手機(jī).所以答案選C.
29.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,從第二段"Matriculation is held …and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university."可知matriculation為正式的入學(xué)慶典.所以答案選B.
30.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,從第三段"The day covers topics such as studying and learning Oxford system and university services…such as employment,immigration and visas,health and safety.通過排除法可判斷D正確. A.錯在要學(xué)習(xí)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Orientation Day結(jié)束之后的社交時間里可以做的事情.
31.A 推理判斷題,從倒數(shù)二,三段"Most colleges have a tradition of regular hall dinners,…you can invite people around…可知很多大學(xué)都有自己的學(xué)生邀請其他大學(xué)學(xué)生到自己學(xué)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".

點評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比,找出答案.

2.Last Sunday,I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time.In my enthusiasm and excitement,I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish,my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call,an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up,seemingly offended,and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排)a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment.I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize.Before getting up,I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me.I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.I found a tinge (氣息)of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace.But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.
Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture.Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet,I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology.On signing my restaurant bill,I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.
Did she take it the wrong way,I wondered?Did she get confused?Did she refuse the anonymous(匿名的)offer?And so on.I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome.To my pleasant surprise,things turned out the best possible way.
The waiter approached me in a joy,telling me,"In the many times she had dined here before,I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0 bill.She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job."

25. The old lady changed her seat mainly because ofA.
A.the author's loud voice
B.her private phone call

A.The lady didn't have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.
B.The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.
C.The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.
D.The author didn't stop talking though he felt embarrassed.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?B
