Passage 3

Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and attack(攻擊). Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine “It will never happen to me”. Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.

Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.

Passage 4

College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.

First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being of my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you're not going out tonight.” or “Did you finish your homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the responsibility of my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! 

Decisions! Friendly people is another thing that I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We didn’t know the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn’t know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, “Are you a mew student?” When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, “Oh, just follow us; that’s where we’re going.” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm(學(xué)生宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.

I do like things about college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it.

( )76. The text is perhaps written by ________.

A. a new student

B. a new teacher

C. a foreign reporter

D. a foreign visitor

( )77. What does “gives me a sense of responsibility” in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean?

It means it makes me feel ________.

A. responsible for my parents

B. responsible for my teacher

C. responsible for the school

D. responsible for myself

( )78. One thing that he liked was ________.

A. the comfortable dorm

B. finding his way around

C. his studies as a first year student

D. the friendly people

( )79. What is New Gerard?

A. It's a student's name.

B. It's a teacher's name.

C. It's a dorm's name.

D. It's a school's name.

( )80. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. People in Marymount University are friendly.

B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.

C. The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.

D. The writer is not homesick.
