Korean college entrance examination
主题：韩国高考 体裁：说明文 难度系数：★★★
The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students， but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.
Although the long， cold winter has already started in South Korea， the annual national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.
More than 675，000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean， maths， sociology， history and foreign languages.
Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country， the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.
Because students face fierce competition， they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7：30 am. After school has finished at 6：30 pm， most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day， they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to-four hours a day.
The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius （范围） of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting （吹奏） of horns is forbidden， even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.
Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known， but their fees can be 18， 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.
1. Airplanes are not permitted to land near the test sites .
A. when the test begins
B. when the test is going on
C. during some period of the test
D. during the tests
2. Before students are allowed to colleges .
A. they will be interviewed
B. they will ask questions of colleges
C. they will not be tested any more
D. first they will pay all the education fee at all
【答案】
1. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours可知，在进行听力考试这段时间内，飞机都不得在考场附近起降。 2. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句This is followed by face-to face oral tests可知，学校在录取前要进行面试。
1）college entrance exam大学入学考试，即高考
2）annual adj. 一年一度的
3）atmosphere n.气氛，大气
4）fierce adj. 猛烈的，凶猛的，残忍的，狂热的
【长难句一点通】
Although the long， cold winter has already started in South Korea， the annual national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.
虽然韩国已经开始了漫长、寒冷的冬天，但一年一度的高考使整个气氛都很热烈。
这是一个主从复合句，although引导让步状语从句，主句当中的made the atmosphere very heated是一个make+o.+oc的结构，过去分词heated充当宾语补足语。
韩国高考也疯狂
说起韩国，同学们肯定会先想起长腿欧巴、泡菜和韩剧。其实，韩国的高中生也和中国的学生一样，要经历残酷的高考！中国有黑色6月，韩国有黑色11月。
韩国高考又称“大学修业能力考试”，考生要在一天内考完4门科目。韩国高考在每年11月中旬举行，每年都有数十万名考生参加考试，录取率只有50%左右。在高考当天，整个韩国的空气中似乎都弥漫着紧张的气氛，曾有韩国学生形容本国高考是场“核战役”。
“核战役”是什么概念？想必大家都知道。所以，同学们不要抱怨自己是个苦逼的高三生啦，还有很多比你处境更不堪的人在坚持奋斗呢！
A letter to father
主题：家人与亲情 体裁：应用文 难度系数：★★★★
Dear Dad，
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards.
They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read， it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old， Dad， and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart. You know， Dad， there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear （档位） when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home， after you reported the Chevy stolen， didn’t have much tolerance for a stub?born 16-year-old， while you were so tolerant about it， Dad， and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked， and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line， the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together， rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. I guess what I’m trying to say， Dad， is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father’s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say， and it’s wishing that never had to end.
I love you， Dad.
Love，
Jenny
1. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.
A. kept in touch by writing each other
B. are separated due to the generation gap
C. have been getting along very well
D. had a hard time understanding each other
2. Jenny wrote his father this letter to _________
A. tell him about their conflicts

C. express her gratitude to him
D. remind him of the early incident
【答案】
1. D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句You know， Dad， there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other. 并结合全文可以判断，珍妮和父亲曾经有一段时间缺乏相互间的理解。
2. C 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文是一封女儿写给父亲的信，女儿珍妮在信中表达了对父亲深深的感激和爱。
occur to 想到，发送
stubborn adj.顽固的
fragile adj. 易碎的，脆的，虚弱的
slap n.掌掴，侮辱，掌掴声
【长难句一点通】
The police officer who sent me home， after you reported the Chevy stolen， didn’t have much tolerance for a stub?born 16-year-old， while you were so tolerant about it， Dad， and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
在你报警说那辆雪弗兰被偷后，那位送我回来的警官对我这个固执的16岁孩子已经无法忍受了，但是你却如此有耐心。爸爸，我认为那很可能是我生命当中最糟糕的一个晚上了 。
这应该是本文中最长的一个句子了，要看懂这个句子，首先要看到句子中间有一个连接词while，while表示对比关系，可以翻译为“然而”，把警察和爸爸的态度进行对比描述。while前面含有一个who引导的定语从句。I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.此句当中that引导了一个宾语从句，what made it the worst night of my life是一个整体充当表语。
