核心考点
试题【 There was a terrible rainstorm unexpectedly. The rain caused the streets 36 and】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取)rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热),which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语)education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(学费)are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B.Higher education in Hong Kong.
C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D.The fall of mainland universities.
小题2:Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because           .
A.many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience.
B.they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities.
C.HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study.
D.Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation.
小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
A.The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
B.Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C.Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D.It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.
小题4:From the passage we can see HK universities           .
A.didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B.didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C.have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D.are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
小题5:What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?
A.Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B.The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C.Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
D.Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed (黯然失色),  it is    41    
outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive,   42   are thousands more small, quiet acts of love,    43    and sympathy. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who    44   their lives to helping and to healing.
There is a goodness to life that   45   be denied. In the most remarkable views and in the smallest details, look    46   , because that goodness always comes shining through. There is no   47  to the goodness of life. It   48    more abundant(充裕的) each time you feel it. The   49   you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even   50     the cold winds blow and the world seems to be    51   in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives   52   . Open your eyes, open your heart,   53    you will see that goodness is everywhere. Though the goodness of life    54    at times to suffer hardships, it is always going on there. For in the   55  moment, it becomes more clear that life is a   56   treasure. And so the goodness of   57   is made even stronger by the very things that would go against it.
Time and time again when you feared it was   58   forever, you found that the goodness of life was really only a / an   59    away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and    60  you.

I can still remember when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to  11  me.I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,  12 to look at each other.Soon we lost the    13  and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade,I first lost touch with her.She was  14 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a   15       person.None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  16 .However,every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas,and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem.I guess I was too devoted in high school to   17 she needed someone there for her.Anyway,she made a new best friend and so did I.Then 1 didn’t know why,but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical(临床的)depression.At first,1 was very   18 ,but we still stayed in   19 .I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically   20 her and people were calling her   21 ,and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said:“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting.I  22 you so much,and you didn’t even know you were   23 me.”
We both cried.And I guess a kind of   24 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends.Even if they aren’t as cool as others,or people think they are crazy,they need someone there.If you desert them,you will only be  25 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.
