In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only with their studies, but also with their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students.
In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs, but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college.
The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new buildings for the campus.
If the position meets the conditions of the program, it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.
The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1, 000 students by2020.
“This is not just a success for the school Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton.
8. Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program
A. To help poor students find jobs.
B. To research the relationship between studies and jobs.
C. To prepare students for the future after graduation.
D. To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University.
9. Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program
a. Ask for a position.
b. Take a class.
c. Be tested.
d. Work for one term.
e. Have an interview.
A. a. b. c. e. d
B. b. c. a. d. e
C. a. e. b. c. d
D. a. e. b. d
10. What can we know from burton 's words in the last paragraph
A. Campus jobs only help students with their studies.
B. Colleges can provide students with full-time jobs.
C. The program benefits students greatly.
D. Students working through the program are sure to find good jobs.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the USA. That’s no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling（标记）that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students have already accepted a kind of rule--wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）；School uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places，uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example，when man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order. The uniform means his or her special duties to the wearer and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. Actually, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality. They just copy their classmates Students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school their job is to master reading. writing. and mathematics: this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

第一节
One possible version:
Hello, boys and girls!
I feel honored to make a speech about "Friendship". As we all know, friendship plays an important part in our life. Having friends is similar to having a family. They are people that you can count on in your greatest time of need. When we have close friends, we can share happiness with them and get support and encouragement from them. This can make us live a much happier life.
So what can we do to keep a long-lasting friendship In my opinion, not only should we show respect for our friends, but also it is necessary to trust them. We must respect our friends and treat them in the way we want to be treated. Moreover, it's good to have a chat with our friends at times, which will strengthen mutual understanding.
That’s all. Thank you.
