PASS involves weekly sessions where you work in groups to tackle specially prepared problem sets, based around a unit of study you're enrolled in. PASS doesn't re⁃teach or deliver new content. It's an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the key points from lecture materials while you are applying your skills to solve problems. You work interactively with your peers. As a peer group, you decide what is covered in each session. That way, PASS directly responds to your needs and feedback. Registration in Term 2 will open at 9 am, 21 September 2022. Waiting lists If a session is full, you can register for the waiting list. We will email you if a place becomes available or if a new session is to be held. When you are placed on a waiting list, we will email you a number which tells you where you are on the list. If you are close to the front of the list, you have a good chance of gaining a place in the programme in the near future. Deregistering If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your attendance. You'll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email the PASS office at passoffice@umbs.edu. 1.In PASS, students 　　　.  A.attend new lectures　　　 B.decide their own schedules C.prepare problem sets in groups　　　 D.use their skills to solve problems 2.What can students do if a session is full? A.Fill in the attendance sheet. B.Sign up for the waiting list. C.Report their needs and feedback. D.Email the office their numbers on the list. 3.Students will be deregistered if 　　　.  A.they send emails in error　　　 B.they fail to work interactively C.they give their places to others　　　 D.they miss two sessions in a row B 　　Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape⁃recognition abilities to a human two⁃year⁃old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut. In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical(对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial⁃and⁃error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two⁃year⁃old babies. The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues(线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.　　　 4.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment? A.By following instructions.　　　 B.By using a tool. C.By turning the box around.　　　 D.By removing the lid. 5.Which task can human one⁃year⁃olds most likely complete according to the text? A.Using a key to unlock a door.　　　 B.Telling parrots from other birds. C.Putting a ball into a round hole.　　　 D.Grouping toys of different shapes. 6.What does the follow⁃up test aim to find out about the cockatoos? A.How far they are able to see.　　　 B.How they track moving objects. C.Whether they are smarter than monkeys. D.Whether they use a sense of touch in the test. 7.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Cockatoos:Quick Error Checkers　　　 B.Cockatoos:Independent Learners C.Cockatoos:Clever Signal⁃Readers　　　 D.Cockatoos:Skilful Shape⁃Sorters C The winter break is just about to end. Soon we will be back at school. It's with both happiness and sadness. I very much look forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means I'm officially(正式地) half way through the exchange year. With school starting there are new things to try and experience. For example, I'm starting a new sport, track and field. It's similar to cross⁃country, which I did from August till November. Being here for half a year now, I can easily tell the differences between my two schools. The hardest or most different part for me is to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my home country. However, I am attracted to the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I am addicted to it, especially to watching it with my host parents. I have also been so lucky to go to two college football games. Before I left school in December, I had a couple of tests called the Mid⁃term Test. They all went pretty smoothly, mostly because I didn't have too many hard classes. My favorite class was English, and it was also my hardest. Personally I really liked English classes, where I could write essays, challenge writing skills and improve spoken English. Only four days of the winter break is left. A part of me wants to be on a break forever, and the other part expects to get started again, starting a new sport and seeing my friends and classmates. 8.Why does the author feel sad before school starts again? A.Her homework is not finished. B.The exchange year will end soon. C.Her school life will get harder. D.The new sport no longer attracts her. 9.How does the school in the author's home country differ from the one she is in now? A.The courses are richer. B.The teachers are kinder. C.The meals are healthier. D.The holidays are longer. 10.What does the author enjoy doing most with the host family? A.Having a talk in English. B.Playing video games. C.Watching football matches. D.Visiting her relatives. 11.What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to? A.Classes.　　　 B.Tests. C.Games.　　　 D.Students. D For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA's survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15⁃year⁃olds around the world, Finland not only is the top European country but also competes with Asian giants(巨头) like China, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the education system in this small country so different from others in the western world? Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years;some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7-16⁃year⁃olds. Compulsory education(义务教育)begins at 7.The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool(幼儿园) as well. Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth. All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances of education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and the poor, as in America or other Western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and very bad students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union. 12.What does the author want to show by mentioning China, Singapore and South Korea in the first paragraph? A.Asian countries are successful in school education. B.The school system in Finland has been very successful. C.Students in these countries are better than those in European countries. D.The education system in Asia is different from that in the western world. 13.What did the Finnish government do in the middle of the 1960s? A.They changed the school system. B.They lengthened(延长)preschool education. C.They encouraged students to go to private schools. D.They learned modern education from neighboring countries. 14.What can we learn from the text? A.The children in Finland are educated equally. B.The children in Finland get compulsory education at the age of six. C.The school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore. D.The schools in Finland don't meet international standards. 15.What can be the best title for the text? A.What Differences European Schools Have B.What Good Schools Provide Students with C.Why Finland's School System Is Successful D.Why Finland's School System Has Changed 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 　　According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party. 　16　, if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.  People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to.　17　, it can bring in “I have this old, broken⁃down vehicle”or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.  　18　? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.　19　.  And what about that other dinner⁃party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).　20　. Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”  So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard. A.How do you know the host B.The first step is to go exploring C.If you ask the question “How did you get here?” D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most 第二部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last month I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.　　　　　 The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.　　　　　　　　　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Teenage Life【单元卷•测试卷】 全卷满分120分　考试用时100分钟 第一部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 　　Peer(同伴) Assisted Study Sessions(PASS) is a peer⁃facilitated learning programme available to students enrolled(注册) in most core units of study in our business school.

Soon we will be back at school. It's with both happiness and sadness. I very much look forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means I'm officially(正式地) half way through the exchange year. With school starting there are new things to try and experience. For example, I'm starting a new sport, track and field. It's similar to cross⁃country, which I did from August till November. Being here for half a year now, I can easily tell the differences between my two schools. The hardest or most different part for me is to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my home country. However, I am attracted to the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I am addicted to it, especially to watching it with my host parents. I have also been so lucky to go to two college football games. Before I left school in December, I had a couple of tests called the Mid⁃term Test. They all went pretty smoothly, mostly because I didn't have too many hard classes. My favorite class was English, and it was also my hardest. Personally I really liked English classes, where I could write essays, challenge writing skills and improve spoken English. Only four days of the winter break is left. A part of me wants to be on a break forever, and the other part expects to get started again, starting a new sport and seeing my friends and classmates. 8.Why does the author feel sad before school starts again?

A.What Differences European Schools Have B.What Good Schools Provide Students with C.Why Finland's School System Is Successful D.Why Finland's School System Has Changed 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了为何芬兰的学校体制如此成功。 12.B　推理判断题。“For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful.”为第一段的主旨句,接下来提到中国、新加坡和韩国是为了通过比较来进一步表明芬兰的学校体制是很成功的。故选B项。 13.A　细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五句可知,在20世纪60年代中期,芬兰政府看到了改变教育体制并使其现代化的需要,为所有7至16岁的孩子设置基础学校。故选A项。由第二段可知,芬兰政府使所有孩子都能上幼儿园,但文中并没有提到延长了幼儿园教育的时间,故B项犯了无中生有的错误;在20世纪60年代之前,受邻国的影响,一些学生在完成了6年的教育之后去了私立学校,芬兰政府后来进行了教育改革,扩大了基础教育的范围,这显然不是在鼓励学生去私立学校,芬兰政府使其教育体制现代化,并不是从邻国学习现代教育,故C、D项错误。 14.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知,芬兰的所有儿童都有着平等的受教育的机会,故选A项,选项中的“are educated equally”与文中的“have the same chances of education”呼应。 15.C　主旨大意题。全文围绕着“the school system in Finland”展开,文章首句提到“the school system in Finland has been very successful”,下文做了详细的阐述,说明了芬兰的学校体制成功的原因,故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 　　According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party. 　16　, if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.  People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to.　17　, it can bring in “I have this old, broken⁃down vehicle”or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.  　18　? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.　19　.  And what about that other dinner⁃party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).　20　. Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”  So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard. A.How do you know the host B.The first step is to go exploring C.If you ask the question “How did you get here?” D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most [语篇解读] 本文为说明文。作者主要介绍了杰西卡·哈吉的书中讲到的几种在人际交往中让自己有趣的小窍门。 16.B　主旨句。文章第一段提到让自己在宴会上有趣并不难。下文应该讲具体的方法是什么,B项中的“The first step”符合语篇逻辑结构。其次,本段第二句中的be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers与B选项中的go exploring对应,所以B项是正确的。 17.C　细节句。设空处前一句提到如果你能以一个不同的问题开启对话,那么你会跟对方有一个更有趣的交流。根据关键词question,将答案锁定在选项C。其次,设空处后的代词it应该指代设空处所说的问题,后面部分中提到的“vehicle”和“bus”指的是交通方式,和C选项中 “How did you get here?”相对应,结合上述两点可知选C。 18.F　主旨句。设空处后面为问号,所选的句子应该是疑问句,可锁定A项和F项。根据设空处后面两句可知本段主要讲的是如何应对某一部分参加聚会的人。原文“If you can't take their wine away...”中的wine对应F项中的drink一词,soapbox对应talking一词,可知要应对的是喝酒太多或话多的人。故选F项。 19.E　细节句。本段主旨是如何应对喝酒太多或话多的人。设空处前一句讲的是应对他的一种方式——将他支开(ask them to help you in the kitchen)。E项中的have little to say与第3空主旨句的won't stop talking相对应,由此可知设空处讲的是另一种应对的方法,所以可以确定E项是正确的。 20.G　过渡句。设空处前面讲到可以通过赞扬主人来化解沉默的尴尬,最后一句讲到“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”,这是一句赞扬主人的话。设空处所选句子处于两句中间,应该提到主人,G项中的He or she对应的是上文的the host,awkwardness对应的是本段第一句中的awkward silence,由此可知G项正确。 第二部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last month I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside.

The ____23____ hen, when she found no other way out, ____24____flew up to the roof and escaped successfully. Dad, why can a hen fly?" I ____25____ for a while and said, "Maybe because of love, It is the love that ____26____ her inner power and she flies!" He seemed to have ____27____. Last weekend we visited Tom's grandparents again. I heard Tom ____28____ from the yard," Dad! The dog is running after the chicken!" I ran out of the house ____29____. The hen ran to a group of ____30____followed by the dog. The hen stopped and turned around suddenly and____31____the dog angrily, with her two wings ____32____ her children. I ran fast and ____33____ between the dog and the hen, shouting at the dog to drive it away." Dad, why didn't the hen fly away? She knows she can't ____34____ the dog." asked Tom. I thought for a while and said, "Maybe because of love, the love to her ____35____ more than her own life." Tom thought for a long time and nodded.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.　　　　　 The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.　　　　　　　　　 答案　 　　As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Knowing what they were preparing for, he was greatly surprised. So immediately, he offered to get involved in the kids' job. Firstly, he put the pot of porridge over a gentle heat, asking Jeff to watch out for it going for fifteen minutes. And then he asked Jenna to break another two eggs and mix them with milk. Then, with all preparations done, they started to fry bread together. In a flash, a sweet smell filled the air in the kitchen. The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. Eyes opened, the woman heard a harmonious “Happy Mother's Day” from her twin kids with a hot sweet breakfast before her. Behind the children stood their father, who told her the whole story. After learning about what happened, she rose quickly to check the boy's hand. Mother hugged them tightly, with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Thank you, my honey,” said the mother. “That's the best gift I've ever had.” 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
