12．While applying to college may seem easy，getting in can be tough!When you apply for college，you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit．Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you．
Step l：Making a List of Colleges to Apply to
With over 6，000colleges in the United States，the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list．This process will be different for everyone．The number of colleges you apply to can vary，from applying to I school （not recommended） t0 30schools （not recommended），each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to．Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by  a fee．
Step2：Splitting the List into Target，Reach and Safety Schools
In general，students will want to apply to three types of schools：Target，Reach and Safety schools．It is up to you how many applications you send，but a good mix would be more target than reach，and at least one safety．You will need to take your list，and now decide which are your top picks，which are attainable for you academically，which are affordable for you only with aid，and refine  （精炼）  your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success．Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this．
Step 3：Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to complete-you have to write essays，ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools-so stay organized!A1l colleges will require these types of application materials，so start thinking about these items well before October or December．Once you complete and send them，then  you have successfully applied to college．

20．YANG YUANQING，Lenovo's boss，hardly spoke a word of English until he was about 40：he grew up in rural poverty and read engineering at university．But when Lenovo bought IBM's personal-computer division in 2005he decided to immerse himself in English：he moved his family to North Carolina，hired a language tutor and--the ultimate sacrifice--spent hours watching cable-TV news．
Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-Anglophone world that have made English their official language．The fashion began in places with small populations but global ambitions such as Singapore and Switzerland．
Corporate English is now invading more difficult territory，such as Japan．Rakuten，a cross between Amazon and eBay，and Fast Retailing，which operates the Uniqlo fashion chain，were among the first to switch．Now they are being joined by old-economy companies such as Honda，a carmaker，and Bridgestone，a tyremaker．Chinese firms are proving harder to handle/crack：they have a huge internal market and are struggling to enroll/recruit competent managers of any description，let alone English-speakers．But some are following Lenovo's lead．Huawei has introduced English as a second language and encourages high-flyers（ambitious employees） to become fluent．
There are some obvious reasons why multinational companies want a lingua franca（共同语）．Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars （including board members），reach global markets and assemble global production teams．Such steps are especially important to companies in Japan，where the population is shrinking．
Tsedal Neeley of Harvard Business School says that"Englishnisation"can stir up a hornet's nest of emotions．Ms．Neeley argues that companies must think carefully about implementing a policy that touches on so many emotions．Senior managers should explain to employees why switching to English is so important，provide them with classes and conversation groups，and offer them incentives（刺激） to improve their fluency，such as foreign postings．Those who are already proficient in English should speak more slowly and try not to dominate conversations．And managers must act as referees and enforcers，resolving conflicts and discouraging staff from returning to their native tongues．
Intergovernmental bodies like the European Union are obliged to pretend that there is no predominant global tongue．But businesses worldwide are facing up to the reality that English is the language on which the sun never sets．

74．Lenovo's boss made all the efforts to familiarize himself with English exceptC．
A．hiring a language tutor   
B．resettling in an English-speaking environment
C．expanding the business overseas   
D．exposing himself to English Cable-TV news．
75．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Most Chinese firms would like to introduce corporate English．
B．Chinese firms are in great need of English majors as their managers．
C．Huawei followed Lenovo as the second largest multinational in China．
D．Adopting corporate English is more difficult in places with a large population．
76．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．The decrease in population pushes the Japanese to learn English well．
B．Neither the governmental bodies nor businesses will regard English as a global tongue．
C．Companies should handle employees'emotions carefully during the switch．
D．Those good at English should be encouraged to speak more in the company．
77．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A
A．English-Global Tongue in Business．
B．English-Chinese Business Leaders'New Fashion．
C．English-The Best Tool in Communication．
D．English-Dominating Factor of Successful Business．

17．Walking，cycling or hopping on to public transport are the best ways to travel with a clean conscience．Yet cars remain an important option for many families because of its convenience．For people in rural areas，or with mobility problems，a car can be an essential lifeline．
Drive with style
No matter what kind of car you run，the least reliable part will be you：your driving style has a massive impact on the fuel needed，with acceleration，gear-changing and braking all playing a significant role．
Inching along at the pace of a child's tricycle might feel frugal but won't magically yield peak economy．In most modern cars，accelerate normally，changing up at 2，000rpm in a diesel，or 2，500rpm in a petrol-powered car．Once at a sensible steady speed，choose the highest gear that will let the engine run without labouring．
A number of eco-driving apps are available for smartphones，to help you improve your smoothness．The A Glass of Water iPhone app offers tips to help you avoid spilling a drop．The free RAC Traffic app is also a great way to avoid wasting fuel in traffic jams．
It's also important to：
●Check tyre pressures once a month．
●Leave junk at home．Carrying extra weight in the boot wastes excess fuel．
●Leave in good time and don't speed．An extra 10mph on the motorway will add 10% to your fuel bill．
Power plays
It may be decades before alternative fuels such as hydrogen become commonplace，but hybrid cars that use battery power to boost a petrol or diesel engine are already available in every category．It means many families might find an electric vehicle ideal as a second car．
Sell your wheels，still travel by car
If you need a car for short periods，such as shopping，and live in a city，then consider a short-term car-hire service such as Zipcar instead of owning a car．If you're travelling longer distances，pay your share of the fuel costs to someone who's already driving there．
 
70．What can you infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2？B
A．Choosing a fuel-saving car matters more than your driving style．
B．Your driving style matters most to the fuel needed．
C．You should rely on yourself to drive a car．
D．Whether a car saves fuel depends largely on the car you choose．
71．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？C
A．ecological    B．convenient       C．economical       D．beneficial
 72．Which of the following is NOT a suggested way of saving fuel according to the writer？A
A．Driving along at a very low speed．
B．Checking tyre pressures regularly．
C．Putting the extra weight off the boot．
D．Applying the eco-driving apps on smartphones．
73．Which may be the best choice for a visiting scholar who frequently gives lectures at colleges in a neighboring town？C
A．Walking
B．Owning an electric vehicle
C．Renting a car
D．Buying a stylish car．
4．Few things can get normally calm people angry like finding a parking ticket attached to the windshield of their cars，especially when they seem undeserved．But most people don't want to invest the time and energy to beat them．
Now a new iPhone app，Fixed，will take on the task of beating a ticket：suggesting reasons it might be wrong，gathering supporting evidence and submitting proper paperwork to get drivers out of them．If the driver beats the ticket，they pay Fixed 25%of what it would have cost．
"When you mention parking tickets to people，most people think they've received an unfair one，"said David Hegarty，the designer of Fixed，who came up with the idea after getting six parking tickets in one day．
When someone gets a ticket，they snap a photo of it on their iPhone and enter the code．The app will tell them what percentage of those types of tickets are usually overturned and then show a list of possible reasons it could be found wrong such as a traffic sign covered by a leafy tree or a broken parking meter．If the motorists think they have a case，the app will remind them to get any additional photographic evidence with their phone and then digitally sign a letter．
Fixed's business model isn't completely new．There are companies that handle such cases for large companies such as FedEx and UPS．The difference is that Fixed is making the service available to individuals，thus helping in any area where the fee amount is small enough not to protest in person，but still big enough to make someone angry．"That's our sweet spot，"David said．

56．Most people accept parking tickets even if they feel unfair becauseA
A．they don't want to spend time and energy on them
B．they never have a chance to question them
C．they think they deserve tickets for their mistakes
D．they have no courage to face the traffic police
57．The underlined word"submit"，in Paragraph 2 probably means"D"．
A．put down    B．make up  C．give up    D．hand in
58．The inspiration of Fixed came fromC
A．similar software from Apple App store 
B．marketing analysis provided by iPhone
C．David Hegarty's personal experience 
D．successful cases of some drivers
59．What does the 4th Paragraph mainly tell us about？D
A．Why evidence is important in paying a ticket．
B．What people can do to avoid parking tickets．
C．Why a smart phone App attracts users．
D．How the iPhone App Fixed works．
60．According to the last paragraph，Fixed is unique becauseB 
A．it is free for smartphone users
B．it targets individuals as its customers
C．it was developed by FedEx and UPS
D．it can easily beat most of parking tickets．
