If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 1．Who is this passage most probably written for? A．College teachers. B．University graduates. C．High school teachers.

Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn $250 to $500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. 26．Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes? A．Prolific. B．LessonFace.

Passage 8 （2024·天津·二模）This Is What a Scientist Looks Like A project called “I Am A Scientist” is giving high school students the opportunity to interact with modem-day researchers —breaking down barriers like race, gender and personal interests.  You'll get to have a close-up look at the work they are doing. Below are stories from some of the scientists involved in the program. Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家) “I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika ( 寨 卡 病 毒 ) epidemic, AI-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy. She wants to know: What makes diseases spread? How do we make sure that everyone has what they need to fight back against diseases? Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents immigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community. Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I'm a huge sports fan. I study animals that can regrow their brains. I'm a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower —the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson's (帕金森病) and the damage the brain can suffer from injuries such as concussions (脑震荡). He wants to know: How is it possible for some animals to regenerate their organs? Can we find a way for humans to regenerate their own brains? Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home. Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition. I'm a doctor who studies ways to improve women's health.” Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments. She wants to know: How can we tackle cancers that specifically affect women? How can we use medicine to improve the lives of women? Background: Growing up in Florida, Connor was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends. 36．What is one of the scientific research topics that Noor Al-Alusi is interested in? A．How can we regenerate human brains like some animals do? B．How can we improve women's health using medicine? C．What makes diseases spread and how to fight back? D．How can we tackle cancers specifically affecting women? 37．Why did Ryoji Amamoto have to shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home? A．Because he competed in a robot competition. B．Because his family moved to Chicago from Japan. C．Because he studied how to regenerate human brains. D．Because he preferred Japanese to English. 38．What is Yamicia Connor's primary focus in her work as a physician scientist? A．Studying the spread of diseases affecting women. B．Boosting women's health via medical treatments. C．Researching the regeneration of organs in animals.

Tired of being behind schedule? Here are some important work tips that you can follow to improve your productivity. Focusing on One Task Some people have the habit of multitasking, which is great, but it might distract you from the bigger picture. Multitasking might help you with different tasks. You might also feel like the jack of all trades (万事通) but your productivity won’t increase in the long run. Focus on one task at a time and this will allow you to complete that task with high standards. When the task is done, you can move on to the next one. Setting Small but Effective Goals You will be given large and challenging tasks at work and what matters is how you deal with them. Stress might be the normal response here but you can also play it smart. You can break any large task into small but manageable tasks, which will help you stay productive and will also make the best of time. Think of it like building blocks and you will have to focus on one small task at a time but the end result will be fascinating. Setting Self-Imposed (自己强加的) Deadlines Setting self-imposed deadlines can actually help you be more productive at work Stress is a bad thing, but self-imposed stress can actually help us focus and be better. You can do really well with open-ended tasks or projects once you give yourself a deadline. Stick to that deadline and you will be surprised by the miracles that you can perform at work. Trying Following the “Two-Minute” Rule Steve Olenski is one of the finest entrepreneurs to date and he has given wonderful advice in the shape of the “Two-Minute” Rule. The “Two-Minute” Rule is basically about making the best out of small windows at work. Olenski tells us that if there is a task at work, and you can do it in 2 minutes, then you do it immediately. When you complete that small task, you don’t actually have to waste more time getting back to it, which also increases your productivity. 96．By focusing on one task, you may________. A．feel like the jack of all trades B．finish that task with high standards C．distract yourself from the bigger picture D．reduce your work efficiency 97．What is the author’s suggestion for handling difficult tasks?

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 11．Who is this passage most probably written for? A．College teachers. B．University graduates. C．High school teachers. D．Would-be college students. 12．What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal? A．Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones. B．Reward oneself for each goal one has set.

A．prepare complicated questions B．try on someone else’s shoes C．listen to others carefully D．take advantage of others 14．What is the key to successful college study according to the author?

Below are several tips to ease（使熟悉） yourself into college life. Participating in Campus Welcome Activities Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations （迎新会），campus picnics, and entertainments like concerts. Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fun? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring Campus Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center~~will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes. Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won't hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes. Starting a Routine Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week. What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake. If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule. 20．By participating in campus welcome activities, freshmen can . A．learn about campus culture B．get their course schedule C．have a physical examination D．take an entrance test 21．Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings? A．To see how many facilities they can use. B．To avoid being late for future classes. C．To help those getting lost on campus. D．To practice running on their way to class. 22．When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine? A．On the first day of their classes. B．Before the orientation week. C．After their first-day classes. D．During the orientation week. 23．What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class? A．Take physical exercise before class. B．Leave their phones powered off. C．Take early classes every day. D．Keep to the sleep schedule. 24．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A．To offer some tips on making an easier start at college. B．To remind freshmen about the first day of school. C．To help freshmen organize campus activities.

If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business. Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up. Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need. 25．Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by______. A．sharing their books on the Internet B．giving access to online reading at a library branch C．sending a needed book to a library branch nearby D．making the checkout procedures diverse 26．According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library?

The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you. Changing Your Course Enrollment List You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it. Withdrawing from Courses If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record. Taking Exams Some instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making them available to all students.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 1．Who is this passage most probably written for? A．College teachers. B．University graduates. C．High school teachers. D．Would-be college students. 【答案】1．D 【详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的首句“Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes.(对于高中毕业生来说，进入大学是一大步，它带来了很多变化。 )”和最后一句“The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.(以下四个技巧将使高中毕业生为大学生活做好更好的准备。)”可知，该文主要针对于高中毕业生的。故选D项。 考点精讲03应用文之文章出处题 【常见提问方式】 This passage would be most likely to be found in ． The passage is probably taken from ． Where does this text probably come from?

Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn $250 to $500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. 26．Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes? A．Prolific. B．LessonFace. C．Wyzant. D．StudySoup. 27．Which one best suits students who are excellent in music? A．Taking class notes. B．Becoming a tutor. C．Being a survey taker. D．Charging scooters. 28．What can be inferred about Prolific? A．It offers the highest pay. B．It only chooses students with good grades. C．It helps researchers find suitable survey participants. D．It requires participants to sign up in advance. 29．What may make charging scooters attractive? A．It pays riders for charging scooters. B．It provides the most benefits for students. C．It offers a means of free transportation. D．It helps solve the litter problem on campus. 30．The passage mainly introduces ______. A．methods to do better in school B．job options for college students C．after-class activities for students D．ways to meet a full class schedule 【答案】26．D 27．B 28．C 29．A 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四份适合大学生的兼职工作。 26．细节理解题。根据Take class notes部分“Three sites — StudySoup, NexusNotes and Stuvia — offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. (StudySoup、NexusNotes和Stuvia这三个网站为上传课堂笔记和向大学其他学生出售课堂笔记提供了诱人的报酬。)”可知，StudySoup允许通过上传课堂笔记来获得报酬。故选D项。 27．细节理解题。根据Become a tutor部分“Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. (其中一些最好的平台包括：Wyzant、Varsity Tutors，以及对于想要教授音乐的人来说，还有LessonFace。)”可知，对于擅长音乐的学生来说，成为音乐导师是最合适的。故选B项。 28．推理判断题。根据Be a survey taker部分“What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take.

First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm.

(适合大学生的兼职既能得到零用钱，又能保证完整课程表所要求的灵活性。)”可知，本文主要介绍了四份适合大学生的兼职，故最合适的主题是B选项“适合大学生的工作选择”。故选B项。 Passage 7 （2024·天津南开·模拟预测）From displays of budding local creative minds to famous artists, airports are stepping up their game to share more of what their city is known for within the terminal.

Below are stories from some of the scientists involved in the program. Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家) “I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika ( 寨 卡 病 毒 ) epidemic, AI-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy. She wants to know: What makes diseases spread? How do we make sure that everyone has what they need to fight back against diseases? Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents immigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community. Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I'm a huge sports fan. I study animals that can regrow their brains. I'm a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower —the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson's (帕金森病) and the damage the brain can suffer from injuries such as concussions (脑震荡). He wants to know: How is it possible for some animals to regenerate their organs? Can we find a way for humans to regenerate their own brains? Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home. Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition. I'm a doctor who studies ways to improve women's health.” Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments. She wants to know: How can we tackle cancers that specifically affect women? How can we use medicine to improve the lives of women? Background: Growing up in Florida, Connor was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends. 36．What is one of the scientific research topics that Noor Al-Alusi is interested in? A．How can we regenerate human brains like some animals do? B．How can we improve women's health using medicine? C．What makes diseases spread and how to fight back? D．How can we tackle cancers specifically affecting women? 37．Why did Ryoji Amamoto have to shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home? A．Because he competed in a robot competition. B．Because his family moved to Chicago from Japan. C．Because he studied how to regenerate human brains. D．Because he preferred Japanese to English. 38．What is Yamicia Connor's primary focus in her work as a physician scientist? A．Studying the spread of diseases affecting women. B．Boosting women's health via medical treatments. C．Researching the regeneration of organs in animals. D．Developing new cancer treatments for people. 39．What do Ryoji Amamoto and Yamicia Connor have in common in the article? A．They all come from immigrant families and have faced language barriers. B．They have diverse personal interests, showing a well-rounded lifestyle. C．They are driven by a passion for science and a desire to help people. D．They have overcome significant challenges to pursue their scientific careers. 40．What is the purpose of the project called “I Am A Scientist”? A．To demonstrate that scientists have uninteresting lives outside of their work. B．To show scientists lead diverse lives with varied personal interests and hobbies. C．To emphasize only people with specific personal traits can become scientists.
