Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2016·苏州一模)

First，I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are.Your academic，artistic，and social skills have truly blossomed(展现) in the last few years.You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you

will truly discover what learning is about.You often question “what good is this course”．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you：“Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten.” What I mean by that is the material taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner.

Do not fall into to trap of dogma(教条)．There is no single simple answer to any question.Remember during your high school debate class，I always asked you to take on the side that you don’t believe in？I did that for a reason—things rarely “black and white”，and there are always many ways to look at a problem.You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that.This is called “critical thinking”，and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life.This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others.I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D.advisor and proposed a new thesis topic，he said，“I don’t agree with you，but I’ll support you.” ________

Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don’t be trapped in what others think or say.Steve Jobs says when you are in college，your passion will create many dots，and later in your life you will connect them.Enjoy picking your dots，and be assured one day you will find your calling，and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.

Most importantly，make friends and be happy.College friends are often the best in life，because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family.Also，going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience.

Bonne chance，my angel and princess.May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life.

A．It’s a parent’s letter intended for a college student.

B．After the years，I have learned this isn’t just flexibility，but encouragement of critical thinking.

C．When I faced the greatest challenge in my life，you gave me a big hug. D．Your Columbia degree will take you far even if you don’t graduate with honors. 3．By mentioning Steve Jobs，the author intends to tell us that ________.

Child Sponsorship Moves Beyond the Basics

One of the most popular forms of charitable giving in use today is child sponsorship as witnessed by the fact that just one of the leading child sponsorship charities currently has over 1 million individual child sponsors worldwide.Despite this huge level of support，it is not generally understood exactly what child sponsorship actually involves.

Most people tend to assume that one’s chosen charity arranges for sponsors to be matched up with an underprivileged child in one of the poorer underdeveloped countries.The idea is that you essentially take a child under your wing and act almost like a fairy godmother or father until he or she attains adulthood and can stand on his or her own two feet.

To a large extent，this is a pretty accurate impression.New sponsors are matched with individual children and can typically choose which country，which sex and which
