Fresher's Week at universities can be a nervous experience.

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar（校历）. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the possibility of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can make you nervous. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university  social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.

Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week:

---Blend in. Make sure you are aware of British social etiquette（礼仪）. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

--- Be hospitable. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of bread can give you a nice start in making friends.

---Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves their room.

---Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbours that you're friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning, Freshers' Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your wisdom to next year's newcomers.

57. The advantages of Freshers' Week include the following EXCEPT _______.

A. You may have better understanding of choosing friends.

C. You can have nice scores

D. You may be more popular

58. The underlined word “hospitable" in the passage means_____________.

A. pleased to welcome and entertain guests

B. satisfied to be left alone

C. uneasy to chat with others

59. It can be inferred that_________________.

A. many newcomers to the universities can be nervous.

B. it's unnecessary to know about British social manners on your first arrival.

C. you should start your university life very quickly.

D. none of the students will enjoy their Freshers' Week.

60. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The troubles you may have as a fresher.    B. The guide for the Fresher's Week.

C. Tips for you to be a top student.               D. Useful advice to make friends.

A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy which has a smallest output of greenhouse gas (GHG) release into the atmosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas CO2. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation of GHG (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to human-related activities that the climate is changing. The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. Globally performed LCEs therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a forerunner to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.

Some nations are low-carbon societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated. In order to avoid climate change at any point in the future, all nations considered carbon-thick societies and societies which are heavily populated, should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these countries have promised to become ‘low carbon’ but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that release will be cut by 100% by offsetting release rather than stopping all release. In other words, some release will continue which will be offset, so they are not low-release.

Nations seek to become low-carbon economies as part of a national global warming reduction strategy. A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming is carbon neutrality, geoengineering and adaptation to global warming.

Nuclear power, or, the proposed strategies of carbon collection and storage (CCS) have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources; there is concern, however, with the matter of spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs and time needed to successfully carry out CCS worldwide and with guarantees that the stored release will not leak into the atmosphere. Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times. Furthermore, regardless of the effect to the atmosphere by GHG releases, the growing issue of peak oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE.

63. Low-carbon economy is encouraged for the following reasons except that ______.

   A. too much greenhouse gas CO2 is released

   B. the over-concentration of greenhouse gases is producing global warming

   C. it can avoid catastrophic climate change

   D. low carbon and zero carbon nations and societies claim for it

64. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ______.

   A. warning                             B. pioneer                           C. symbol                            D. guide

65. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

   A. Nuclear power could act as one of the primary means to achieve a LCE.

   B. There’s worry about spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs.

   C. The stored release will be likely to leak into the atmosphere.

   D. Renewable energy tends to become the only means to achieve a LCE.

66. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the writer’s attitude toward the proposal of adapting renewable energy is ______.

   A. negative                            B. positive                           C. self-confident                D. doubtful
