人教版英语精品资料（精修版）能力提升.阅读理解Every September in China, people love to talk about the overprotective parents following their children around everywhere during university enrollment.Now, with more than 420,000 youngsters in the UK starting their new college school year, what is their very first day like? BBCs Sean Coughlan described it in a recent report.According to Coughlan, at the very beginning it is not hard to spot something familiar to Chinesea stream of parents arriving with their sons and daughters at the students village. Mothers, fathers and a teenager stand together like the three might have done on the first day of primary school.“The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed(塞满) full with boxes, pillows, and nervous families，” he writes. “The door closes on a students room and parents and children go their separate ways. For many families, if childhood has a final moment, this is it.”But saying goodbye to parents is not the only similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China. In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about their Internet connections. “Its their most urgent concern，” notes Coughlan. “Theyre not so much Generation Y as Generation Wifi.”Even on their first day, university in the UK wont be an entirely lonely experience for some new students. “Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their future roommates，”writes Coughlan.Still, the first night is something no UK university student ever forgets. There are people they meet and then spend three years avoiding and people who become their friends for the rest of their lives. First week stories are all about overpartying, cooking and misguided clothing, Coughlan says.As he concludes：“These new students are entering their own soap opera of romance, friendship and ambition. Its a huge adventure that theyve worked for years to achieve.”1What is the authors purpose in writing the article?ATo introduce how UK students prepare for college.BTo show different challenges that college freshmen face in the UK and China.CTo describe how UK colleges welcome newcomers at the beginning of a new semester.DTo inform us about what the first day of going to college is like in the UK.2Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?AOn the first day of college, most UK freshmen dont know each other.BWhen the new semester begins, most UK freshmen drive to college by themselves.CMost British parents choose to stay around their childrens college for a few days at the beginning of the semester.DFor many freshmen, when they say goodbye to their parents, they are also saying goodbye to their childhood.3A similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China is that _.Athe approach roads to their colleges are packed with cars filled with nervous familiesBthey have contacted their future roommates through social networking sitesConce they get to the campus, they want to make sure that they have access to the InternetDthey spend their first week getting to know their roommates and partying4From the article we can conclude that Sean Coughlans report is _.Acritical BdescriptiveCsympathetic Dbitter.短文改错My school has taken on a new look since it moved into a new place. It is quite different of the old one. There used to be have only one classroom building and the playground is not large enough for all the students to have sports. Sometimes we had to practise run along the streets outside. The teaching conditions were even worst. Our teachers used to teach with only a blackboard, but the experiments could only be done in the classroom. But now besides the classroom building, a modern lab building has put into use, which all kinds of experiments can be done. We have not only a large playground and also a gym. Classes can be given with the help of computers and multimedia. What great changes! I feel proudly of my school.答案.阅读理解本文主要介绍了英国大学新生入学报到时的情况。1D写作意图题。通读全文并根据第二段中的“what is their very first day like？”及下文对英国大学生初进校园时所做的一些事情的介绍可推断，D项正确。2D正误判断题。根据第六段中的“Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their future roommates”可知，A项表述错误；根据第四段第一句话可推断，B项表述错误；文中没有提到父母会在孩子的学校住几天，因此C项表述错误；根据文章最后一段可以推断，D项正确，学生上了大学，也就真正告别了童年，意味着独立生活的开始。3C细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about their Internet connections.”可知，C项正确。4B推理判断题。通读全文可知，Sean Coughlan 只是客观地描述了英国大学新生入学报到时的情况，所以应选B项。.短文改错
