A Personal Look at Klinefelter Syndrome1 I was diagnosed with Klinefelter Syndrome (KS)（遗传性细精管发育不全）a little more than a year ago,at the age of 25,in February 1996.Being diagnosed has been a big sigh of relief after a life of frustrations.Throughout my early childhood and adolescence,I was very shy,reserved,and had trouble making friends.I would fly into rages for no apparent reason.My parents knew when I was very young that there was something about me that wasn't right.2 I saw many psychologists , psychiatrists（精神科医生）,therapists（临床医学家）,and doctors,and their only diagnosis was"learning disabilities".In the seventh grade,I was told by a psychologist that I was stupid and lazy,and I would never amount to anything. After barely graduating from high school,I started out at a local community college.I received an associate degree in business administration,and never once sought special help.I transferred to a small liberal arts college to finish up my bachelor of science degree, and spent an extra year to complete a second degree.Then I started a job as a software engineer for an Internet-based company.I have been using computers for 1 7 years and have learned everything I needed to know on my own.3 To find out my KS diagnosis,I had gone to my general physician for a physical examination.He noticed that my testes（睾丸）were smaller than they should be and sent me for blood work. The karyotype（染色体组型）showed KS , 47 , XXY. After seeing the symptoms of KS and what effects they might have,I found it described me pertectly.But, after getting over the initial shock and dealing with the denial,depression,and anger,I decided that there could be things much worse in life.I decided to take a positive approach.4 There are several types of treatments for KS. I give myself a testosterone（睾丸素） injection once every two weeks.My learning and thought processes have become stronger, and I take greater pleasure in meeting other people and have become more of a leader. Granted,not all of this is due to the increased testosterone level,some of it is from a new confidence level and from maturing.5 I feel that parents who are finding out prior to the birth of their son that he will have KS are very lucky.There is so much they can do to help their child have a great life.I have had almost all of the symptoms at some time in my life,and I've gotten through and done well. The writer used to be pretty________.A:a great lifeB:relieved and happyC:a life of frustrationsD:a good-for-nothingE:shocked and depressedF:shy and reserved答案：F解析：

remembersB
recallsC
remindsD
recollects正确答案：C解析：句意：那部电视连续剧使我回想起我中学毕业后在乡下定居的那段生活。四个选项都有“记得，想起，回忆起”的含义，但它们之间略有差别。remind使记得，使想起，意在“提醒”，只有它能与of搭配。remember表示无意识行为的回忆。recollect表示有意识的行为，强调回忆的过程。recall比recollect通俗，它强调一次回忆。

Time is very important in our lives.It organizes our everyday moments.However,time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.It came from Denmark to the U.A.E.jewelry shop in a gray box.It weighs 0.24 kilograms. It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist.And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the importance of time in my life.I received this gift on a gray-sky day.I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my uncle Aui and take him to my father's house.However,I was late because I was hanging out with my friends.Later on that day,around 11:00 AM,I remembered my uncle,but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face.I felt ashamed of myself at that moment.After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle,my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from him.Then he said,"Essa,did you have fun with your friends today?"I answered, "Yes,father,and I'm sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali."He said,"What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions."I was ashamed and said,"Father,I'll never do it again.I promise."He said,"I hope today you learned something important,and this watch will be a reminder for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.I learned a very important lesson from my father:to respect time and never be late to get someone.This watch is important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.Time was not so important in my life and I was not a very responsible person before I received a watch from my father.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：根据是文中第一段第三句话：但是，以前时间在我的生命中并不重要，直到我从父亲那里收到一块手表，这块手表帮助我安排我的生活而且使我变得更加有责任感。根据是第二段第一句：这块丹麦制造的手表装在一只灰色盒子里，是在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一家珠宝首饰店买的。第三段第三句：可是因为和朋友们出去玩，我迟到了。可见作者不是因为做作业而迟到。根据是第四段第二句：那一刻我感到很惭愧。文中对此没有提到。依据是第四段最后一句：他让我拿走这块手表，用它来安排自己的生活。依据是最后一段最后一句：这块手表对我来说很重要，不是因为它价格昂贵，而是因为我从中学习到的这个道理。

问答题So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had. Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years. Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years. Changed Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told. Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major. Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!正确答案：【参考范文】 The given excerpts show us the findings of a survey to discuss whether people have changed their major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s). Among the people included, some of them never changed their majors as a result of many reasons: being interested in the majors, having a clear life goal and so on. Nevertheless, there are many students who have changed their majors at college. Reasons are various: not having a clear life goal, not knowing what they really aspire to be; finding it difficult to learn the courses school arranged; hunting for a proper job relevant to the major. As far as I’m concerned, what matters most is not the major itself, but whether you are willing to spend time on it. It is of little use if you make a change on your major just for a promising job opportunity. You can make it to the top in all walks of life as long as you have passion for your major and are dedicated enough. Sure, there are some so-called hot majors, such as international finance, finance and accountancy, international trade, civil engineering technology, etc. However, from my perspective, the work which is suitable for one person may be unfit for another. So it is imprudent for students to blindly pursuit the major not suitable for them, which would likely lead to nothing. Choosing a major should be based on students’ interests, personality and ability. After all, your major will be closely connected to your future life, not others’. In short, college students should have a clear understanding about the relationship between their own passions and social needs.解析：暂无解析

问答题Practice 1 Directions: Read the texts from a newspaper article in which five people talk about where they played when they were children. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each people (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Peter: My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the ‘goals’ would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it. Simon： The playground was quite small The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was more like a prison yard--on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass. Alan: I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince’s Street Primary and the room in which I received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life. Nick： I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground--a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up, more than in the rest of the little town’s correct and neat suburbia, where my house was. Julle: Unitl I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging. Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements正确答案：1.A 主要意思是说作者童年的时候最喜欢做的是在自己家的后花园跟爸爸踢球,球门很简陋。对照七个选项,只有A的选项与文意一致。 2.F 文章讲的是一个简陋的小操场,高墙上有碎玻璃片。作者写到“After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall,slowly breaking off the bits of glass. ”所以操场是不安全的。再对照七个选项,也只有F项与文意相符。 3.D 文章先说了自己住的地方很拥挤,没有花园。然后写到自己的小学、小学教室外面的小操场,后面又说“My amazement at seeing these items…has stayed with me all my life”,意思就是说自己的童年是在教室周围度过的,故选D。 4.G 文章第四段讲自己成长的地方是被禁去的露天操场--水沟,又提到说水沟周围有网球场、足球场等体育设施,故选G。 5.C 最后一段文章最后一句说“I always liked swinging”,意思就是说作者喜欢“the feeling of flying”,故选C。解析：暂无解析
