　　The Popularity of Getting Certificates on Campus

　　①Currently, getting certificates is quite popular on campus. The advertisements for training schools occupy a large proportion of the bulletin board, and booksellers fill their shelves with many reference books. And eager students spare their money and time for these courses and books.

　　②There are several advantages in this matter. The biggest one is that with more certificates, students are accessible to more and better job opportunities. Besides, they can make more contacts with the outside world in the course of getting certificates.③However, every coin has two sides. The pursuit of certificates is no exception. Some students believe that ④the more certificates, the better.⑤One can hardly make progress this way, but can become bookish easily. Some of them even neglect their routine learning in the process of getting certificates.

　　From my viewpoint, certificates certify students’ previous efforts. ⑥But whether these pieces of paper can benefit students or not, depends on what they have really gained. Therefore, before dazzling choices, we must have a clear attitude and scientific strategy, and then certificates are beneficial.

　　①开门见山，说明这种现象的存在，接下来，作者从学校海报栏的广告，书店经营者和学生三方面来进一步说明该现象。

　　②首先论述其优点，并用了一些连接词表明句与句之间的关系。该部分的结构是There are several advantages...The biggest one ...Besides,...。

　　③接下来论述的是其存在的缺点，并用However表示转折。

　　④The +形容词比较级，the +形容词比较级，表示“越…，越…”。学会使用这种结构能让文章增色不少。

　　⑤这个句子用了hardly和easily，形成鲜明的对比，给人印象深刻。

　　⑥本句结构whether...or not 引出本文观点。

　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　本文首先介绍了导盲犬如何帮助失明或视力很弱的人外出活动，接着讲了导盲犬在工作中和工作后的不同表现，然后着重叙述了选拔导盲犬及其训练过程，最后交代了导盲犬学校要根据人与导盲犬各自的个性将他们进行搭配，直到导盲犬和盲人完全了解对方的动作时，导盲犬才可以从学校毕业。

　　1. B)。【定位】由题干关键词a guide dog可将答案定位至第一个标题下第一段第三句：To do this, a guide dog must know how to keep on a direct route, ignoring distractions such as smells, other animals and people.

　　【解析】原文指出，一条导盲犬在导盲时必须知道如何做到保持一条直达的路线，不被别的气味、动物或者人吸引。文中的keep on a direct route与选项B)中的walk straight 属于同义转述，且都指的是导盲犬的行为，故答案为B)。

　　2. D)。【定位】由题干关键词any command可将答案定位至第一个标题下第二段第一句：Additionally, a guide dog must know to disobey any command that would put the handler in danger.

　　【解析】本句指出，对于那些会给主人带来危险的命令，导盲犬必须学会不服从。题干中的any command指任何命令，显然过于绝对化了，与本句相矛盾，故D)为正确答案。

　　3. C)。【定位】由各选项中的关键词可将答案定位至第一个标题下第三段。

　　【解析】该段并没有提及notify the handler的相关信息。所以答案是C)。
