In this course, students will learn how an editor approaches a submitted piece, going beyond sentence-level error and looking at the big picture around accuracy, style and organization. Understanding the different challenges in an editor’s job, students will get a behind-the-scenes look at this sometimes busy and often exciting career. Meanwhile, students will grow their own technical editing skills and return home a more competent editor. Using Gen Z Era as their case study, students will meet and learn from the people who decide what topics are relevant and valuable to the audience and who determine the overall editorial strategy, ensuring that the content meets the standards and tone of the publication. Course Highlights ● Visit the media city and attend lectures by award-winning guest speakers. ● Assess articles as well as question and coach the authors to get the best piece possible. ● Connect with professionals who manage the development and publication of accurate and worthy content. ● Edit one piece into a well-written and fact-checked article in the style of Gen Z Era. Price ● Residential Program (Students live on campus): $6,600 ● Day Program (Students commute to class every day): $5,500 (Graduating seniors can have a $400 discount if applying before May 2,2024.)

A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April 30, 2024 should pay _______. A. $5,100 B. $5,500 C. $6,200 D. $6,600 B “The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.” This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured, in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she teaches in such an innovative way. Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, which covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagined lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter （发光物）. Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse or snakes?” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks. Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watches the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not I can’t do it. It’s we can do it. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.” 4. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way? A. She’s bettering ways to power cars. B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems. C. She’s making science classes more accessible. D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change. 5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Procedures of a lesson. B. The core value of creativity. C. Ideas of different students. D. The key concept of solutions. 6. How is the last paragraph mainly developed? A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert. C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example. 7. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching? A. It ignores practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge. C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change. C Cities, often seen as ecological wastelands, actually have the potential to produce exceptional biologists. While traditional biologists typically come from rural backgrounds, urban residents possess diverse skill sets that make them better ones. Take myself as an example. Growing up in Philadelphia provided me with a unique angle to look at urban ecology. The city’s distinct seasons, plentiful squirrels, row homes, and festivals served as my first ecological classroom. It was there that I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats from their homes, and snakes being killed by lawn mowers （割草机）. This was ecology in action, as real as any observation in fields and forests. The unique environment of urban areas encourages wildlife there to develop distinct features and behaviors that set them apart from their rural counterparts: they may be larger in size, be active at different times of the day, move differently, and even display different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even “smarter” because they balance more risks, such as exposure to roads, poisonous chemicals and diseases from domestic animals — with rewards, of course, like inhabitable parks and human-provided food. As human residents of cities, we also adapt to the risks and challenges of urban living. This adaptation sharpens our intuition （直觉） — we learn which streets to avoid and lock our doors for safety. Our ability to assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for urban wildlife. Shared experiences such as these enable us to better understand and appreciate urban wildlife. Most of the world’s population now accesses green and blue spaces, as well as wildlife, within urban neighborhoods. Nature is no longer only untouched wilderness; it includes sounds of human laughter, trash trucks and fire alarms. We urban residents are resourceful and imaginative. We need more capacity, more participation, more energy, and more innovation in science to create solutions to fight environmental degradation and reduce biodiversity loss. Identifying this talent across cities presents a practical approach. 8. What did growing up in Philadelphia teach the author? A. Philadelphia is uniquely rich in wildlife. B. Studying biology at school helps greatly. C. Urban wild creatures need protection too. D. Cities are far from ecological wastelands. 9. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Similar species. B. Potential enemies. C. Natural resources. D. Qualified biologists. 10. What experiences help urban residents understand wildlife better? A. Eco-friendly habits. B. Risk-aware behaviors. C. Ill-informed choices. D. Fast-paced urban life. 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. Cities Build Better Biologists B. What Makes Smarter Residents? C. Urban Areas Encourage Wildlife D. Who Saves Ecological Wastelands? D Many actors have famously remarked that they have, time and again, lost themselves in their performances. Now, researchers at University College London (UCL) have found some truth to this statement. A new study suggests actors may suppress （抑制） their sense of self when they take on a new character, hinting at the massive impact theater training may have on fundamental mechanisms（机制） of the human brain. “Our findings indicate that cooperating with the theater industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world,” said Dwaynica Greaves, lead author of the study. In particular, the researchers are hoping that future work in this space can focus on how participation in theatrical activities might help people with autism （自闭症）. The actors in the study were fitted with brain imaging technology while they rehearsed（排练） scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream. When they heard their names while performing, their response was suppressed in the brain region associated with self-awareness. While they were not performing, the actors responded normally when called by name. The study also looked at interpersonal coordination（协调） between pairs of actors. The researchers noticed that two actors rehearsing together had similar brain activity in the regions of the brain associated with social interaction and action planning, revealing “specific brain systems that are coordinated during complex social interactions”. In fact, drama therapy has been considered a beneficial practical strategy for improving social communication in children with developmental or learning disabilities. A preliminary （初步的）study found students with autism who underwent theater experiences showed significant positive changes in the development of social and language skills. In the future, researchers at UCL aim to include both trained and untrained actors as subjects. The recent study, admittedly, lacked a control group of people without theater training and had a small sample size of only 6 actors. But the researchers remain hopeful of the possible future applications of their findings in aiding social communication, including in individuals with autism. 12. What effect may taking on a new character have on actors, as suggested by the study? A. They may forget their identities. B. Their self-awareness may weaken. C. They may lose themselves completely. D. Their brain mechanisms may be damaged. 13. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By interacting with the actors. B. By observing the actors’ behavior. C. By surveying the actors’ responses. D. By monitoring the actors’ brain activity. 14. What positive changes were seen in students with autism who engaged in theater experiences? A. Improved physical health. B. Enhanced cognitive abilities. C. Strengthened interpersonal skills. D. Increased academic performance. 15. What can be inferred about the study? A. The researchers lacked expertise. B. It can be used to train child actors. C. It is a major breakthrough in medicine. D. It is promising despite its limitations. 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。 Exercise needs differ from person to person due to a number of reasons. 16 Genetic (基因的) variability Genes play a very big role in determining a person’s response to exercise. 17____ Some people may naturally prefer endurance activities (耐力训练), while others may have a genetic make-up that favours strength exercises.

This year, it’s the Year of the Dragon, or more 36 (accurate), ”the Year of the Loong”. Then what’s the difference? The Western 37 (describe) of dragons as “fire-breathing winged creatures” was inspired by literature such as Beowulf - the Old English epic about a Scandinavian hero ____38___ contribution was killing monsters, including a dragon. Greek fairy tales also presented dragons 39 violent sea monsters or guards of valuable 40____ (possession). By contrast, “loong”, a word 41 (create) in the 19th century, reminds people of strength and fortune, and should 42 (distinguish) from its Western cousin. In Shiji, 43 2,000-year-old Chinese history book, the emperor’s mother dreamed of a dragon lying on her body, 44 (predict) the birth of a future emperor.

So it was with Mama's soup pot. Mama's soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited（继承）it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama's soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama's soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom's flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol's mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn't kiss your mother, she demanded: "What's the matter? You sick?" But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous. But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. 第 6 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
