More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.

But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.

1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

A. It is flexible in length.

B. It is a time for relaxation

C. It is increasingly popular

D. It is required by universities

2.According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.

A. are better prepared for college studies

B. know a lot more about their future job

C. are more likely to leave university in debt

D. have a better chance to enter top universities

3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?

A. He’s puzzled B. He’s worried

C. He’s surprised D. He’s annoyed

4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

A. Attend additional courses.

B. Make plans for the new term

C. Earn money for their education

D. Prepare for their graduate studies

Have you ever considered volunteering? It gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel a sense of pride that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. But how to volunteer? Follow the three steps before you enjoy it.

Pick an organization. 1. You’re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a cause you care about. For example, if you’re interested in animal welfare, maybe you want to volunteer at an animal shelter. Much like job search sites, you can also use volunteer websites like Volunteer Match or Serve.gov to help you find volunteer opportunities in your area. If you still can’t narrow down where you want to volunteer, start asking people you know where they volunteer. 2.

Be clear what you can offer. First identify your skills. For example, maybe you could write brochures for local nonprofits if writing is your style. 3. You need to be sure how much time you can give to an organization based on your other commitments. If you try to do too much, you ‘re more likely to give up.

4. Treat the application like a job. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would for a job interview. 5. Ask what’s expected of volunteers. For instance, volunteers at a museum may be expected to learn parts of the galleries to give tours. Start volunteering slowly. That is, it’s better to commit to just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at the organization.

A.Apply and get started.

B.Volunteer in person or online.

C.Then don’t forget to review your weekly schedule.

D.You’d better focus on the causes you like very much.

E.You may find one of them has the perfect opportunity for you.

F.It is also a time for you to assess whether the organization is fit for you.

G.First find an organization that’s a good fit for you, and then decide what you have to offer.
13．Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take  friendship  for granted，we often don't clearly understand how we make friends．While we get on well with a number of people，we are usually friends with only a very few．For example，the average among students is about 6per person．In all the cases of friendly relationships，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly．As we get to know people we take into account things like age，race，economic condition，social position，and intelligence．Although these factors are not of prime importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background．
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，to have attitudes and interests in common-they often talk about"being on the same wavelength"．It generally takes time to reach this point．And the more closely involved people become，the more they rely on one another．People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise．Equally，friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion．
In contrast with the marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people．But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond，which can overcome differences in background，and break down barriers of age，class or race？

32．How does the author understand"friends"in this passage？D
A．Every student has 6friends．
B．Everyone understands clearly how to make friends．
C．All the people who get on well with each other are friends．
D．Friends are closer than those just getting on well with each other．
33．What should we avoid when making friends？D
A．Good economic condition．
B．Argument and discussion．
C．The same race，hobby and nationality．
D．A marked difference in age and background．
34．What do the underlined words"being on the wavelength"mean in Paragraph 2？C
A．Having the same background．
B．Using the same frequency while talking．
C．Having similar ideas，beliefs，attitudes and interests．
D．Keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do．
35．How do people strengthen friendly relationship according to the passage？D
A．To hold friendship ceremonies．
B．To completely get rid of differences in background．
C．To make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race．
D．To support and understand each other by sharing experiences and emotions．
17．They tell us when to get up or when we're running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme．But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time，science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece．Circadian rhythms（生理节奏）-the human body's own internal clock-have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour． They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns．
In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism（机能）can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music．
The latest example，from experts at Harvard University in the US，shows that the human body clock can even tell whether or not we are likely to tell the truth．Researchers found it was easier for people to lie in the afternoon because，as they were tired，the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down．Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies-especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end．
"The body clock has a great effect on us all，"says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University．"Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon．But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm．That's because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day．By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up．One reason may be to ensure we get home safely．When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece．"
So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what's the best time of day to take advantage of them？
66．The underlined word"They"in the first paragraph refers toD．
A．our clocks
B．scientists and experts
C．our daily routines
D．circadian rhythms
67．The research referred to in Paragraph 3found that people tend toA．
A．tell lies when they are tired
B．tell lies if they are rewarded
C．lose temper as they become tired
D．break down because they are tired
68．According to the passage，when are people most quick-thinking？D
A．In the morning．
B．Around midday．
C．In the late afternoon．
D．In the early evening．
69．What information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph？C
A．Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying．
B．Examples of how the human body clocks control the body．
C．Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities．
D．An explanation of how the human body clock controls the body．
