20. What may be discussed next
A. The school fees. B. The remote classes. C. The college headmasters.
【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Some students take community college classes to get job training. Others go to community colleges to take lower-cost classes before moving to a four-year university. But recent research suggests that more and more students are no longer choosing to attend community colleges. Some students say credits for classes at community colleges do not gain recognition by four-year colleges, and some employers say workers from community colleges are not always ready for jobs.
At the same time, though college education is useful, there are many jobs for people without a college education, which makes people believe they do not need college. Unexpectedly, the number of students at U.S. community colleges has dropped by 37 percent, or about 2.6 million since 2020. Those numbers come from an occupation research center, a non-profit group. During the same period, the cost of higher education in the U.S. went up sharply. Many private four-year colleges can cost $40,000 per year. However, community colleges cost, on average, is even less than $4,000 per year. Moreover, researchers are remotely investigating headmasters of community colleges about their policies related to the school fees.

When I was little, my dad would let me sit beside him while he painted. He would tell me how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the grassland by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sunlight going through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic.
I understood what he was saying, but I’ve never felt what he was saying until one day when I was up in the sycamore tree(梧桐树) to rescue a kite stuck in the branches.
It was a long way up, but I thought I’d give it a try. I started climbing. Then I looked down. And suddenly I got dizzy and weak. But the kite was still beyond my reach. I caught my breath and forced myself to concentrate on the kite as I climbed up.
When I had the kite free, I needed a minute to rest. That’s when the fear began to disappear, and in its place came the most amazing feeling that I was flying, sailing among the clouds.
Then I began to notice how wonderful the light wind smelled. I couldn’t stop breathing it in, filling my lungs with the sweetest smell I’d ever known.
I never got over the view. I kept thinking of what it felt like to be up so high in that tree. I wanted to see it, to feel it, again. And again!
It wasn’t long before I wasn’t afraid of being up so high and found the same spot. I could sit there for hours, just looking out at the world. Sunsets were amazing: Some days they’d be purple and pink; some days they’d be bright orange, setting fire to clouds across the horizon.
The view from my sycamore was more than clouds and wind and colors combined. Eventually, my father’s belief moved from my head to my heart. I started marveling(惊奇) at how that was possible. How could I be so full of peace and full of wonder
It was magic.
24. Why did the author climb up the sycamore tree
A. To play in the tree. B. To practice climbing skills.
C. To prove her courage. D. To get a trapped kite.
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s climbing experience
A. Unusual but painful. B. Competitive and imaginative.
C. Adventurous but rewarding. D. Well-planned and interesting.
26. What message does the author want to convey in the text
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. All roads lead to Rome.
C. Positive action leads to happiness.
D. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Last Memory B. Up in the Sycamore Tree
C. Father’s Best Suggestion D. Clouds Across the Horizon
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了作者通过爬梧桐树取回风筝看到神奇的景色,从而真切感受到了父亲的观念:整体大于局部之和。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I understood what he was saying, but I’ve never felt what he was saying until one day when I was up in the sycamore tree(梧桐树) to rescue a kite stuck in the branches.”(我明白他在说什么,但我从来没有感觉到他在说什么,直到有一天,我爬到梧桐树上,去救一只卡在树枝上的风筝。)可知作者爬梧桐树是为了取回被困的风筝。选项 D 符合题意,故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And suddenly I got dizzy and weak.”(突然间,我感到头晕和虚弱。) ;“I caught my breath and forced myself to concentrate on the kite as I climbed up.”(我屏住呼吸,强迫自己集中精力在风筝上。)可知爬梧桐树取回风筝是很危险的。根据第四段中的“That’s when the fear began to disappear, and in its place came the most amazing feeling that I was flying, sailing among the clouds.”(就在那时,恐惧开始消失,取而代之的是一种最奇妙的感觉,那就是我在飞翔,在云中航行。)和第五段“Then I began to notice how wonderful the light wind smelled. I couldn’t stop breathing it in, filling my lungs with the sweetest smell I’d ever known.”(然后我开始注意到微风的味道是多么美妙。我无法停止呼吸,我的肺里充满了我所知道的最甜蜜的气味。)可知这次经历是相当有收获,作者由刚开始的害怕,变得自在起来。选项 C 符合题意,故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He would tell me how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the grassland by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sunlight going through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic.”(他会告诉我,牛本身就是牛,草地本身就是草和花,穿过树木的阳光只是一束光,但把它们放在一起,你就有了魔力。)和最后一段“Eventually, my father’s notion(观念) moved from my head to my heart.”(最终,父亲的想法从我的脑海中进入了我的内心。)可知作者通过描述自己的经历主要是想表达如果只是单独的某一个元素,只能体现它自己单独的特点,但如果将其看做成为一个整体,那么整体将大于局部之和。选项 D 符合题意,故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提到作者父亲给他讲述的道理“He would tell me how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the grassland by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sunlight going through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic.”(他会告诉我,牛本身就是牛,草地本身就是草和花,穿过树木的阳光只是一束光,但把它们放在一起,你就有了魔力。)如果只是单独的某一个元素,只能体现它自己单独的特点,但如果将其看做成为一个整体,那么整体将大于局部之和。后文中提到了作者通过爬梧桐树取回风筝看到神奇的景色,从而真切感受到了父亲的观念,即整体大于局部之和。B项Up in the Sycamore Tree(梧桐树上)以“梧桐树”为意向,讲述作者在梧桐树上看到各种场景后得到的感悟。该项符合文意,故选B。
C
To solve a big environmental problem, chemists have been thinking small. Really small: a new mini robot with the purpose of helping clean up tiny plastic that pollutes water across the world.
The new microrobots, each of which is no bigger than the tip of a pencil, are magnetic(有磁性的)and shaped like four-pointed stars. When the sunlight shines on them, they can swim in a direction; when the sunlight disappears, they stop moving. Finding a piece of plastic, they hold onto it, produce chemical reactions and start to break it down.
The project is led by chemist Martin Pumera, a researcher who also studies ways to build microrobots at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. About ten years ago, he noticed the microplastic was everywhere, from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains. It even turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water. Just think about how much plastic you meet every day. It doesn’t easily degrade ( 降 解 ) which is a big problem. Therefore, Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.
The researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab. After a week, all four began degrading, losing around 3 percent of their weight, which showed the microrobots were breaking the plastic down. The robots also turned the plastic’s smooth surface into the rough one. Finally, the scientists showed that magnets could attract the microrobots at the end of the test - along with the plastic waste.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastic. They’ll also need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways, such as at sea. But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome. Someday, the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.
28. What can be learned about the new microrobot
A. It is in the shape of a ball. B. It is as small as a pencil.
C. It is driven by sunlight. D. It uses physical reactions.
29. What inspired Pumera to design the microrobot
A. The microplastic pollution. B. The ice on the mountains.
C. The need for drinking water. D. The development of ocean resources.
30. How does a microrobot deal with the plastic
A. Sorting it into four types. B. Making its surface smooth.
C. Taking in it completely. D. Breaking it down to some degree.
31. What is Pumera’s attitude to their future research
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Uncertain.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型的微型机器人,它可以帮助清理世界各地污染水的微小塑料。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When the sunlight shines on them, they can swim in a direction; when the sunlight disappears, they stop moving. (当阳光照在他们身上时,它们可以朝一个方向游泳;当阳光消失时,它们停止移动。)”可知,新型微型机器人是由阳光驱动的。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“About ten years ago, he noticed the microplastic was everywhere, from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains. It even turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water. Just think about how much plastic you meet every day. It doesn’t easily degrade (降解) which is a big problem. Therefore, Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic. (大约十年前,他注意到微塑料无处不在,从海底到山顶的冰。它甚至出现在饮用水中,无论是瓶装水还是自来水。想想你每天会遇到多少塑料。它不易降解,这是个大问题。因此,Pumera选择关注微塑料造成的水污染问题。) ”由此可知,微塑料污染激发了Pumera设计微型机器人的灵感。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab. After a week, all four began degrading, losing around 3 percent of their weight, which showed the microrobots were breaking the plastic down. (研究人员在实验室里用四种塑料测试了微型机器人。一周后,四个人都开始退化,体重减轻了约3%,这表明微型机器人正在分解塑料。)”可知,仅一周时间,塑料体重减轻,说明微型机器人可以在某种程度上分解塑料。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastic. They’ll also need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways, such as at sea. But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome. Someday, the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort. (事实上,Pumera说他们还有很长的路要走。这些微型机器人不太可能成功地降解所有类型的塑料。它们还需要进行大量的测试,以证明它们在海上等开阔水域是安全的。但他认为这些挑战是可以克服的。总有一天,微型机器人将在全球清理工作中发挥重要作用。)”可知,Pumera认为研究中的这些挑战是可以克服的,微型机器人在未来将发挥重要作用,他对未来的研究很有信心的。故选B。
D
Chinese restaurants began to open in America in the mid-19th century, mainly on the west coast where the first immigrants landed. They mostly served an Americanized version of Cantonese cuisine, chop suey, egg fu yung and the like. In that century and much of the 20th,the immigrants largely came from China's south-east, mainly Guangdong province.
After the immigration reforms of 1965, Chinese migrants from other regions started to arrive. Restaurants began calling their food "Hunan” and “Sichuan". Though their food rarely resembled what was actually eaten in those regions, it was more diverse and boldly spiced than the sweet, fried stuff that defined the earliest Chinese menus. By the 1990s adventurous diners in cities with sizeable Chinese populations could choose from a variety of regional cuisines. A particular favorite was Sichuan food, with its addictively numbing fire due to peppercorn.
Yet over the decades, as Chinese food became universal, it also came to be standardized. There are almost three times as many Chinese restaurants in America (41,000)as McDonald's. Virtually every small town has one. And generally the menus are consistent: pork dumplings (steamed or fried);the same two soups(hot and sour, wonton);stir-fries listed by main ingredient, with a pepper icon or star indicating a slight trace of chilli-flakes. Dishes over$10 are grouped under "chef's specials".
Until recently, the prices varied as little as the menus and they were low. Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American restaurateur, recalls how his newly-arrived father kept his prices down because" immigrants can't sell anything full-price in America."
Americans have traditionally been willing to pay through the nose at French or Italian joints (where, in fact, Latinos often do most of the cooking).And every city has its pricey sushi bars and expensive tapas restaurants(tapas, as one joke goes, is Spanish for"$96 and still hungry").
Mr. Huang is right that Americans have long expected Chinese food to be cheap and filling. One step up from the urban takeaway, with its fluorescent lighting, is the Chinese restaurant with its red doors and fake lions standing guard, exotic enough to be special, but still affordable enough for a family to visit once a week when nobody feels like cooking. Even the superior outlets were cheap for what they served.
But now things are changing. Mr. Huang sells delicious stuffed buns in New York and Los Angeles for$5.50 each and encourages other immigrants not to undervalue their work.
Meanwhile, although racism persists, the previous discrimination of earlier ages has been fading. Since the Chinese-American population is six times what was 40 years ago, Americans overall are much more familiar with Chinese people and their cooking, all of which means that the new fancy breed of Chinese restaurants draws a heartening mix of Chinese and non-Chinese diners.
32. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that_
A. Cantonese cuisine was well received by Americans in the 19th century
B. Those so-called Hunan or Sichuan food in America tasted just as what was actually eaten in those regions
C. Nowadays Chinese restaurants are almost twice more than McDonald's in America
D. Americans prefer Hunan food because they have been addicted to peppercorn
33. Why was Chinese food sold at a lower price
A. Americans have long expected Chinese food to be cheap and filling.
B. Earlier immigrants couldn't sell anything full-price in America.
C. Americans prefer French and Italian food.
D. Chinese restaurants face fierce price competition from other restaurants.
34. In what order did the author write the passage
A. In order of importance.
B. In order of place.
C. In order of time.
D. In order of position.
35. What is the best title of this passage
A. Immigration on a plate.
B. Americans' favourite cuisine.
C. Prejudice against Chinese immigrants.
D. Route to success.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A

【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:春天的时候,公园里的樱花盛开,娇嫩的粉红色和白色的花瓣覆盖着树木,成为北京美丽的风景。根据“with their delicate pink and white petals”可知,此处考查with复合结构,“petals”和“cover”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作宾补。故填covering。

【63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:公园的位置也提供了周围地区的全景,包括令人印象深刻的城市天际线和郁郁葱葱的森林。分析句子结构可知,空处缺谓语动词,描述现在的事实用一般现在时,主语是“The park’s location”,故谓语动词用单数。故填offers。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:公园的位置也提供了周围地区的全景,包括令人印象深刻的城市天际线和郁郁葱葱的森林。根据“city skyline”可知,空处需填形容词作定语,修饰名词,impress是动词,表示“使留下深刻印象”,形容词impressive表示“令人印象深刻的”,符合句意。故填impressive。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters What are you going to do with your life Aren’t you interested in anything at all ” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. Then I hurried to the school with my parents. It was beyond my wildest dream till that moment. As a matter of fact, I doubted then whether I was in the dream. I normally dreaded the long walk to the school. But that day was different. There seemed to be something in the air, an electric current, connecting my body to the letter. When I got it, I was really afraid that the envelop was empty. But there was a white package inside. With my heart beating faster, I wondered whether it could really be what was expected.
My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” What I grabbed in my hands contained everything I had been waiting for. Slowly, I opened it and a flash of CONGRATULATIONS in bold bright letters caught my eyes. A feeling of happiness and relief rushed through my body. I was holding my first offer from a good college. Needless to say, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the countless hours of studying and writing, but most importantly, my parents’ constant reminders, in fact, were the best form of education for me. “Thank you, Mom and Dad!” I said gratefully.

When I was little, my dad would let me sit beside him while he painted. He would tell me how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the grassland by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sunlight going through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic.
I understood what he was saying, but I’ve never felt what he was saying until one day when I was up in the sycamore tree(梧桐树) to rescue a kite stuck in the branches.
It was a long way up, but I thought I’d give it a try. I started climbing. Then I looked down. And suddenly I got dizzy and weak. But the kite was still beyond my reach. I caught my breath and forced myself to concentrate on the kite as I climbed up.
When I had the kite free, I needed a minute to rest. That’s when the fear began to disappear, and in its place came the most amazing feeling that I was flying, sailing among the clouds.
Then I began to notice how wonderful the light wind smelled. I couldn’t stop breathing it in, filling my lungs with the sweetest smell I’d ever known.
I never got over the view. I kept thinking of what it felt like to be up so high in that tree. I wanted to see it, to feel it, again. And again!
It wasn’t long before I wasn’t afraid of being up so high and found the same spot. I could sit there for hours, just looking out at the world. Sunsets were amazing: Some days they’d be purple and pink; some days they’d be bright orange, setting fire to clouds across the horizon.
The view from my sycamore was more than clouds and wind and colors combined. Eventually, my father’s belief moved from my head to my heart. I started marveling(惊奇) at how that was possible. How could I be so full of peace and full of wonder
It was magic.
24. Why did the author climb up the sycamore tree
A. To play in the tree. B. To practice climbing skills.
C. To prove her courage. D. To get a trapped kite.
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s climbing experience
A. Unusual but painful. B. Competitive and imaginative.
C. Adventurous but rewarding. D. Well-planned and interesting.
26. What message does the author want to convey in the text

B. All roads lead to Rome.
C. Positive action leads to happiness.
D. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Last Memory B. Up in the Sycamore Tree
C. Father’s Best Suggestion D. Clouds Across the Horizon
C
To solve a big environmental problem, chemists have been thinking small. Really small: a new mini robot with the purpose of helping clean up tiny plastic that pollutes water across the world.
The new microrobots, each of which is no bigger than the tip of a pencil, are magnetic(有磁性的)and shaped like four-pointed stars. When the sunlight shines on them, they can swim in a direction; when the sunlight disappears, they stop moving. Finding a piece of plastic, they hold onto it, produce chemical reactions and start to break it down.
The project is led by chemist Martin Pumera, a researcher who also studies ways to build microrobots at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. About ten years ago, he noticed the microplastic was everywhere, from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains. It even turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water. Just think about how much plastic you meet every day. It doesn’t easily degrade ( 降 解 ) which is a big problem. Therefore, Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.
The researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab. After a week, all four began degrading, losing around 3 percent of their weight, which showed the microrobots were breaking the plastic down. The robots also turned the plastic’s smooth surface into the rough one. Finally, the scientists showed that magnets could attract the microrobots at the end of the test - along with the plastic waste.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastic. They’ll also need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways, such as at sea. But he thinks that these challenges can be overcome. Someday, the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.
28. What can be learned about the new microrobot
A. It is in the shape of a ball. B. It is as small as a pencil.
C. It is driven by sunlight. D. It uses physical reactions.
29. What inspired Pumera to design the microrobot
A. The microplastic pollution. B. The ice on the mountains.
C. The need for drinking water. D. The development of ocean resources.
30. How does a microrobot deal with the plastic
A. Sorting it into four types. B. Making its surface smooth.
C. Taking in it completely. D. Breaking it down to some degree.
31. What is Pumera’s attitude to their future research
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Uncertain.
D
Chinese restaurants began to open in America in the mid-19th century, mainly on the west coast where the first immigrants landed. They mostly served an Americanized version of Cantonese cuisine, chop suey, egg fu yung and the like. In that century and much of the 20th,the immigrants largely came from China's south-east, mainly Guangdong province.
After the immigration reforms of 1965, Chinese migrants from other regions started to arrive. Restaurants began calling their food "Hunan” and “Sichuan". Though their food rarely resembled what was actually eaten in those regions, it was more diverse and boldly spiced than the sweet, fried stuff that defined the earliest Chinese menus. By the 1990s adventurous diners in cities with sizeable Chinese populations could choose from a variety of regional cuisines. A particular favorite was Sichuan food, with its addictively numbing fire due to peppercorn.
Yet over the decades, as Chinese food became universal, it also came to be standardized. There are almost three times as many Chinese restaurants in America (41,000)as McDonald's. Virtually every small town has one. And generally the menus are consistent: pork dumplings (steamed or fried);the same two soups(hot and sour, wonton);stir-fries listed by main ingredient, with a pepper icon or star indicating a slight trace of chilli-flakes. Dishes over$10 are grouped under "chef's specials".
Until recently, the prices varied as little as the menus and they were low. Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American restaurateur, recalls how his newly-arrived father kept his prices down because" immigrants can't sell anything full-price in America."
Americans have traditionally been willing to pay through the nose at French or Italian joints (where, in fact, Latinos often do most of the cooking).And every city has its pricey sushi bars and expensive tapas restaurants(tapas, as one joke goes, is Spanish for"$96 and still hungry").
Mr. Huang is right that Americans have long expected Chinese food to be cheap and filling. One step up from the urban takeaway, with its fluorescent lighting, is the Chinese restaurant with its red doors and fake lions standing guard, exotic enough to be special, but still affordable enough for a family to visit once a week when nobody feels like cooking. Even the superior outlets were cheap for what they served.
But now things are changing. Mr. Huang sells delicious stuffed buns in New York and Los Angeles for$5.50 each and encourages other immigrants not to undervalue their work.
Meanwhile, although racism persists, the previous discrimination of earlier ages has been fading. Since the Chinese-American population is six times what was 40 years ago, Americans overall are much more familiar with Chinese people and their cooking, all of which means that the new fancy breed of Chinese restaurants draws a heartening mix of Chinese and non-Chinese diners.
32. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that_
A. Cantonese cuisine was well received by Americans in the 19th century
B. Those so-called Hunan or Sichuan food in America tasted just as what was actually eaten in those regions
C. Nowadays Chinese restaurants are almost twice more than McDonald's in America
D. Americans prefer Hunan food because they have been addicted to peppercorn
33. Why was Chinese food sold at a lower price
A. Americans have long expected Chinese food to be cheap and filling.
B. Earlier immigrants couldn't sell anything full-price in America.
C. Americans prefer French and Italian food.
D. Chinese restaurants face fierce price competition from other restaurants.
34. In what order did the author write the passage
A. In order of importance.
B. In order of place.
C. In order of time.
D. In order of position.
35. What is the best title of this passage
A. Immigration on a plate.
B. Americans' favourite cuisine.
C. Prejudice against Chinese immigrants.
D. Route to success.

Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters What are you going to do with your life Aren’t you interested in anything at all ” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived.
