Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When I arrived at university，I had nothing in my bank account but was given a brand new overdraft(透支)．I’d never had one before.So it was very exciting to spend money on shopping，nights out，and all the junk food my mum had never let me eat.I managed to max out(达到最高限度) my account within three months and suddenly life wasn’t so much fun.
I spent the last two weeks before Easter on a diet of porridge and became lfloathing(自我憎恨的) and I also blamed Asda(阿斯达超市) for all the twoforone deals I couldn’t resist.Now I’m working fulltime to repay my debts.I’m also tting up a parate bank account for my student loan to go into to cover rent and bills.So I’ll be able to keep an eye on my spending.

With a lot of hard work and saving over the holidays I’m hoping that I’ll be in better financial shape for next year.After my experience in halls—being kept awake until 4 a．m.and work surfaces permanently covered in mind—I’m looking forward to moving into a hou with friends.The partying and social life in halls are fantastic，but sometimes you’re put with people you don’t get on with，and it’s hard to cope with that.It helped me to stay strong，but I wish I had stood up to them rather than felt bullied.
I had a really bad time in my first year，which is why I’m going to make the most of university next year.I’m going to balance work with a social life，hit Freshers’ week hard and join some societies.With university handing me so many opportunities on a plate，I want to take up as many as I can and enjoy mylf.

“Birdscarry什么意思” and “airports” are two words that，paired together，don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture.So it really rais some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that’s for birds.
Described as the world’s firstever bird airport，the propod Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is，of cour，not an actual airport.Rather，it’s a wetland prerve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds—even thousands—of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East AsianAustralasian Flyway.Over 50 species of migratory(迁徙的) water birds，some endangered，will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.
Located on a former landfill site，the 61hectare(150acre) airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.)However，instead of dutyfree shopping，the main attraction for nonegglaying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a greenroofed education and rearch center，a ries of raid “obrvation platfor

“The propod Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species，while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin，” Adrian McGregor of Australian landscape architecture firm McGregor Coxall explained the design.Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports，Tianjin is a city—China’s fourth most populous—that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.
