If you are considering this option for getting your degree, don't forget to check out this gem. Rather than give the standard sales pitch, I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor's University for my master's degree. Lower tuition The tuition is lower than comparable online schools. Each term is six months long, giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term. In addition, if I finish early and still have time left in my term, I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for the schooling. I find this option to be very cost-effective. Flexible courses If I have learned enough either through life experience, on the job training, or in class,I can take the exam and skip the course. For example, I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field, attended conferences, and took classes for my second bachelor's degree. I was able to take the test, and pass, thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time. Personal support I have a mentor(导师) assigned to me. My mentor is my contact person for questions and support. I get calls on a regular basis. We talk about where I am in my studies, what my next steps are, and any question I may have. I also have the online communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions. Respected degree I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go. I learned that a degree from Western Governor's University was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar(灰泥) university. I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor's University. I gain confidence in my abilities, and am very happy with my decision. 51. From this passage we learn that Western Governor's University . A. is a key American university B. attracts a great number of students C. is a brick and mortar university D. is a good online university 52. How can the author get enough money for his schooling? A. He depends on his family's support. B. He does a part-time job to pay for it. C. He studies hard to get scholarship. D. He has a good job and a good pay. 53. We can infer that the author . A. had received a bachelor's degree before B. never went to university before C. wanted to study special education law D. only studied the courses he liked 54. How does the author get in touch with his mentor? A. He calls his mentor at regular time. B. His mentor calls him at regular intervals. C. He calls on his mentor every few days. D. He often talks with his mentor online. 55. The author writes the article . A. in order to let others know his studies and dream B. in order to make others go for online universities C. to use his experience to recommend his university D. to show what he has chosen is definitely sensible B In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this inaugural (开幕的) event— the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a friendship that crosses continents. The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi—a well-known community activist and cancer survivor— founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion. In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts— from yours truly. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington, Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation:“We will come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed (博得称赞) us with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.” In March, 2023, Beka's 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy(奖杯) in the air. The goalie(守门员) presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion. For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will never forget. For all of us, we hold on to our memories of bonding with, our soccer sisters. 56. What can be implied from paragraph 1? A. It took long to make the tournament a reality. B. The tournament aims to help grannies make friends. C. These women's teams consist of professional football players. D. The tournament caused a stir in the international football community. 57. What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka? A. It was 13 years in the making. B. It received support from the locals. C. It promoted the wellbeing of its members. D. It consisted of middle aged women players. 58. Why did the 15 Grannies fly to Boston in July 2010? A. To take part in a football competition. B. To perform at a football tournament. C. To share their football playing stories. D. To learn to play football professionally. 59. What did the goalie intend to do by gifting Beka the trophy? A. Honor Beka's football skill. B. Share the joy of their success. C. Acknowledge Beka's initiative. D. Declare victory for the host team. 60. What is the best title for the text? A. My Soccer Life with Grannies B. My Granny's Enthusiasm for Soccer C. Inspired by Soccer: An International Tour D. Celebrating Grannies: A Global Soccer Event C When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement(纠缠), the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain(领域) have mostly fallen flat. New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they' ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended“five a day”, meaning someone who’ s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ ll eat an extra one. The researchers have suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people's choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other's eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.” Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what's realistic and what's absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media. It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae (触角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family. 61. What phenomenon is talked about in Para.1? A. The influence of social media on people's diet. B. People's taking photos of food before eating. C. Chefs' efforts to make the table screen-free. D. The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant. 62. What's the consequence of people's seeing their friends' online post? A. They' ll copy what their friends do. B. They' ll take junk food more seriously. C. They' ll consume more than their friends. D. They' ll care more about their friends' eating habits. 63. What's Dr. Jason Thomas's attitude towards social media? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Unclear. 64. What might people referring to others’ diets be advised to do? A. Form their own diet styles. B. Find the similarities among others’ diets. C. Avoid aiming for perfection in daily meals. D. Enhance their critical thinking and skepticism. 65. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Point out the unreality of social media. B. Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking. C. Introduce the general classification of food posted online. D. Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration. D Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child's drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias(偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon. When you explain someone's behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attribute(归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias. So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome. The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’ s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously(无意识地). In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with. 66. How would we define the other driver's behavior in paragraph 1? A. An emotional outburst. B. A display of bad manners. C. A moment of carelessness. D. An unavoidable circumstance. 67. Why do we fall for the actor-observer bias? A. To safeguard our self-image. B. To avoid arguments with others. C. To promote sympathy towards others. D. To ensure fairness in interpersonal interactions. 68. What is the basic reason behind the difficulty in stopping the observer's internal attribution behaviors? A. They can't totally be controlled. B. They maintain people's dignity. C. They happen without people being aware of it. D. People don't know about the actor-observer effect. 69. How might an observer be more considerate to an actor's actions? A. By focusing on the situational factors. B. By making the attribution process automatic. C. By attributing these actions to internal factors. D. By imagining themselves in the same situations. 70. What is the best title for the text? A. Why we repeat our mistakes B. How we can stop blaming others C. What is the science of social justice D. Why we always ignore our own faults 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节； 满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分) My dad told me that when I was two years old, I said I was going to be the next Michael Jordan. My dad took my wish seriously. One day when I was 3, he asked, “Do you want to be the next Michael Jordan and are you willing to do any amount of workouts in order to achieve this— whether it's windy or snowy?” I nodded. Then he handed a piece of paper to me, and warned, “This will be one serious promise.” He gestured for me to sign my signature on the paper. Unknown about what he had written on the paper, I sensed the seriousness of the moment. The next early morning, my father pushed me to the driveway for playing basketball. “First,” he instructed, “we will start with the art of dribbling(运球).” I looked at him, unsure if he was serious, and threw the basketball with both hands back to him as he began to instruct me. I stood out in that driveway for three hours that morning. Never had I felt more tired in my three years of life. Every time my attention began to wander, my father would harshly drag me back to the present. I was beginning to repent of my decision to be the female version of Michael Jordan a little bit. In the following mornings, my dad dragged me out to the driveway to continually coach me. Each time I wanted to give up, he would take my signed piece of paper, telling me that I couldn't take back my words then. By the age of ten, after approximately 7,350 hours, my dad predicted my skill was better than my peers' in the state. My dad began telling me that being a world-class expert required 10,000 hours of practice. Then I had a new goal. One tough day, when I was fourteen, at the end of our practice session, my dad said,“Congratulations!” That evening, we had a party, with a basketball-shaped cake with the number10,000. During the party, my dad asked, “So are you going to quit now?” I smiled, “Never! WNBA, here I come.” 71. What promise did the author make by putting her signature on the paper?(no more than 15 words) 72. Why was the author so tired the next morning after signing the paper?(no more than 10 words) 73. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean?(1 word) 74. What did the author's dad congratulate her on?(no more than 8 words) 75. What lesson do you learn from the author's story?(no more than 20 words) 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 76. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，下周你校将与英国的友好学校举办一场在线交流活动，主题为“如何学好中国古诗词 (How to learn Chinese ancient poetry well)”。请你根据以下提示撰写一篇发言稿： 1. 学习中国古诗词的意义； 2. 学习中国古诗词的建议； 3. 表达愿望和祝福。 注意： 1. 词数 100左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Hello, everyone! ▲请勿在此处答题 Thank you! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
