It features different color-coded trails which allow you to control the duration of your hike. (Tai Po Kau Forest Walk位于大埔滘自然保护区内，是自然爱好者的热门目的地。它具有不同颜色编码的小径，让你可以控制徒步旅行的持续时间。) ”可知，Tai Po Kau Forest Walk的步道有不同的颜色可以帮助人们根据时间选择合适的远足路径。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Little Hawaii部分“Altogether, there are 3 waterfall spots. As the highlight of the hike, you can go upstream to view the waterfall from a different angle. (总共有3个瀑布点。作为徒步旅行的亮点，您可以逆流而上，从不同的角度欣赏瀑布。) ”可知，如果你想去瀑布徒步旅行，可以选择Little Hawaii。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格最后两行提供的信息“(4.5 hours) ”可知，它们的共同点在于两者持续的时间相同，都是四个小时三十分钟。故选C。 B We recently heard all about the baby names set to go extinct (绝迹的) as hardly any registrations have been made for them over the last few years. The list included the likes of Carolyn, Debra, Gladys, and Meryl for girls and Billie, Chandler, Greg, Stevie, and Walt for boys. And while you might think this is sad, the loss out of names that were once beloved, one woman has shared why she’s relieved (宽慰的) that her name might not be used any more. Carolyn Creel, a designer, recently learned that her name was one of those at risk of extinction with parents. But she said there was no anger or offence (冒犯) caused by this, and instead, she felt just the opposite. She has told of her relief at the name fading away as she’d suffered for years with people mispronouncing it and spelling it wrong. She said, “For me it’s quite a relief that Carolyn isn’t going to be used anymore! Firstly, no one can pronounce it. I’m always called Caroline and no one can spell it either. I’m not at all sad or offended, and it’s just development. I didn’t like it when people got the spelling or pronunciation wrong. I also found it hard when I was learning to spell and write as it’s quite a long name! My daughter was given a shorter name for that reason!” There were 80 names in total on the list of those set to go extinct and it was put together by the team over at Pregnacare by Vitabiotics. To do this, they analyzed government data from 1996 to 2022 looking at the number of babies born with each name every year and picked out those with fewer than three births. They’ve then used this information to predict the names that will be the least popular in the future and are at risk of disappearing altogether. 4. Why are some baby names set to go extinct? A. They are from abroad. B. They are hardly used by parents. C. They are difficult to register. D. They are of no original meaning. 5. What made Carolyn relieved? A. Her name dying away. B. The easy spelling of her name. C. Her anger to be controlled. D. The pronunciation of her new name. 6. What can be known about Carolyn’s daughter’s name? A. It is difficult to spell. B. It is hard to pronounce. C. It is taken from Carolyn’s. D. It is shorter than Carolyn’s. 7. How did the team do research according to the last paragraph? A. By studying lots of factual data. B. By gathering data from different areas. C. By questioning parents of newborn babies. D. By focusing on the number of new babies. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了很多难拼写、易读错的名字将来会慢慢消失。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“We recently heard all about the baby names set to go extinct as hardly any registrations have been made for them over the last few years. (我们最近听说了所有关于婴儿名字即将灭绝的消息，因为在过去的几年里，这些名字几乎没有注册。)”可知，有些婴儿名字会消失是因为父母很少为孩子们注册使用。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“She has told of her relief at the name fading away as she’d suffered for years with people mispronouncing it and spelling it wrong. (她讲述了自己对这个名字逐渐消失的欣慰，因为她多年来一直受到人们发音错误和拼写错误的困扰。) ”可知，卡罗琳因为自己名字要渐渐消失而感到放松。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“I also found it hard when I was learning to spell and write as it’s quite a long name! My daughter was given a shorter name for that reason!” (我在学习拼写时也发现很难，因为这是一个很长的名字！出于这个原因，我女儿的名字被改短了！”)”可知，卡罗琳的女儿的名字比妈妈更短。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There were 80 names in total on the list of those set to go extinct and it was put together by the team over at Pregnacare by Vitabiotics. To do this, they analyzed government data from 1996 to 2022 looking at the number of babies born with each name every year and picked out those with fewer than three births. They’ve then used this information to predict the names that will be the least popular in the future and are at risk of disappearing altogether. (名单上总共有80个即将消失的名字，这是由Vitabiotics在Pregnacare的团队整理出来的。为了做到这一点，他们分析了1996年至2022年的政府数据，研究了每年出生的每个名字的婴儿数量，并选出了名字人数少于三个的婴儿。然后，他们利用这些信息预测了未来最不受欢迎的名字，这些名字有可能完全消失。)”可知，该团队研究了1996年至2022年的真实数据。故选A。 C A cup of coffee before breakfast, is considered quite normal for many people, especially those who have to rise early for work. Some experts, however, have warned the morning habit could have an effect on your health. Experts have warned the possible bad effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Researchers from the University of Bath have advised making sure to line your stomach before drinking caffeine, which they say could greatly affect a person’s blood sugar control. The study, the findings of which were published in the British Journal of Nutrition, was carried out on 29 healthy male and female volunteers, all of whom took part in three different overnight experiments. In scene one, volunteers have a sugary drink after waking up from a normal, uninterrupted (不间断的) sleep. In scene two, they had the exact same drink after sleeping poorly, having been awoken every hour for five minutes each time. When it came to the third scene, volunteers drank a strong black coffee after waking up from an interrupted sleep and were also given a sugary drink half an hour later. Once all three experiments ended, researchers collected blood samples from each of the 29 volunteers and examined their blood sugar level. It was found that interrupted sleep had no obvious important effect on a person’s blood sugar level when compared to uninterrupted sleep. A strong black coffee drank on an empty stomach, however, increased their blood sugar level to the sugary drink by about 50 percent. Although further research is needed to better understand long-term risks, the final research result of the researchers is that drinking black coffee first thing before breakfast could actually have an important effect on a person’s blood sugar and metabolic (代谢) control after an interrupted night’s sleep. 8. What do experts suggest before you drink coffee? A. Getting enough sleep. B. Having a sugary drink. C. Eating something. D. Filling yourself up with food. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The volunteers’ sleep habits. B. The course of the experiments. C. The purpose of the experiments. D. The volunteers’ blood sugar levels. 10. What can be inferred from the research result? A. Normal sleep helps low blood sugar level. B. A sugary drink is no good for an empty stomach. C. Interrupted sleep has little effect on blood sugar level. D. Male volunteers achieve uninterrupted sleep easily. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Coffee’s key role in a health research B. Coffee’s bad effect on human’s health C. An experiment on the effect of coffee on sleep D. A warning of drinking coffee before breakfast 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍是空腹喝咖啡对血糖水平的不良影响，通过研究实验揭示了这一习惯可能干扰人体代谢控制，建议人们在早晨喝咖啡前先食用一些食物。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Experts have warned the possible bad effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Researchers from the University of Bath have advised making sure to line your stomach before drinking caffeine, which they say could greatly affect a person’s blood sugar control.(专家警告说，空腹喝咖啡可能会产生不良影响。巴斯大学的研究人员建议，在喝咖啡之前，一定要先填饱肚子，他们说咖啡会极大地影响一个人的血糖控制。)”可知，空腹喝咖啡可能会产生不良影响，因此专家建议在喝咖啡之前先吃点东西。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“In scene one, volunteers have a sugary drink after waking up from a normal, uninterrupted sleep. In scene two, they had the exact same drink after sleeping poorly, having been awoken every hour for five minutes each time. When it came to the third scene, volunteers drank a strong black coffee after waking up from an interrupted sleep and were also given a sugary drink half an hour later. Once all three experiments ended, researchers collected blood samples from each of the 29 volunteers and examined their blood sugar level.(在场景一中，志愿者从正常、不间断的睡眠中醒来后喝了一杯含糖饮料。在第二幕中，他们睡得不好后喝了完全相同的饮料，每次每小时被叫醒五分钟。在第三个场景中，志愿者从被打断的睡眠中醒来后喝了一杯浓黑咖啡，半小时后还喝了一瓶含糖饮料。三个实验结束后，研究人员从29名志愿者中分别采集了血液样本，并检查了他们的血糖水平。) ”可知，本段主要介绍了实验的过程。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“It was found that interrupted sleep had no obvious important effect on a person’s blood sugar level when compared to uninterrupted sleep.(研究发现，与不间断睡眠相比，被打断的睡眠对一个人的血糖水平没有明显的重要影响。)”可知，被打断的睡眠对血糖水平影响不大。故选C。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并根据第二段的“Experts have warned the possible bad effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Researchers from the University of Bath have advised making sure to line your stomach before drinking caffeine, which they say could greatly affect a person’s blood sugar control.(专家警告说，空腹喝咖啡可能会产生不良影响。巴斯大学的研究人员建议，在喝咖啡因之前，一定要先填饱肚子，他们说咖啡因会极大地影响一个人的血糖控制。)”可知，文章主要介绍了专家们通过实验得出结论，早餐前喝咖啡会极大地影响一个人的血糖控制，可能会产生不良影响，因此D项(对于早餐前喝咖啡的警告)适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D The road to an acceptance letter begins with standing out on the college application. Here are some tips on ways to set yourself apart from other college applicants. Every student has something they are interested in, whether that’s music, theater, writing, sports or community service. But to stand out from their peers, applicants need to diversify (多样化) their résumé, especially their list of after-school activities. “Being in a lot of sports is great,” says Natalie, director of admissions at Frostburg State University in Maryland. “We absolutely don’t want to take away from that because we know student-athletes do see success in the classroom when they’re balancing both class and their athletic requirements. But also, what can we add on top of that to look at that diversity?” The choice of after-school activities should be authentic, says Melissa Rousseau, director of undergraduate admissions at Calvin University in Michigan. “You can usually tell when a student is just adding things to add things,” she says. “So it’s nice when you can see they have really dived deep into an interest or taken part in something that widens their views a little bit.” College applicants are also advised to challenge themselves in high school. But that doesn’t mean a student’s schedule needs to be filled with all honors or more advanced subjects. Students can take an additional course subject outside of the standard requirements, for example. “Instead of just taking the 10th grade biology course, they might sign up for anatomy, environmental science or something else that just shows they wanted to go a little bit deeper,” Rousseau says. “I’d rather see challenging courses with not-perfect grades than easy courses with perfect grades.” Academic performance is another factor considered in the college application process. But grade drops can happen, whether due to a death in the family, struggles with mental health, difficulty adjusting to high school or other personal reasons. That’s OK, but it’s important to show upward progression. “Even if it’s not perfect, we want to see that continued improvement and continued devotion to getting good grades,” Rousseau says. 12. What does Natalie think of student-athletes? A. They are often thought little of. B. They spend too much time on sports. C. They get attention from other applicants. D. They need other after-school activities. 13. What does the underlined word “authentic” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. True. B. Difficult. C. Unique. D. Wide. 14. What does Rousseau advise college applicants to do? A. Gain not-perfect grades. B. Attend challenging courses. C. Sign up for some easy courses. D. Take part in social activities. 15. How many tips on standing out for college applicants are mentioned in the text? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些能让大学申请者在众多申请者中脱颖而出的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But to stand out from their peers, applicants need to diversify their résumé, especially their list of after-school activities. “Being in a lot of sports is great,” says Natalie, director of admissions at Frostburg State University in Maryland. “We absolutely don’t want to take away from that because we know student-athletes do see success in the classroom when they’re balancing both class and their athletic requirements. But also, what can we add on top of that to look at that diversity?”(但为了在同龄人中脱颖而出，申请者需要使简历多样化，尤其是他们的课外活动清单。马里兰州弗罗斯特堡州立大学招生主任娜塔莉说：“参加很多运动很棒。”“我们绝对不想剥夺这一点，因为我们知道，当学生运动员在课堂上平衡课堂和运动要求时，他们确实看到了成功。但除此之外，我们还能补充什么来看待这种多样性呢？”)”可知，Natalie认为学生运动员需要参加其他课外活动，使自己的简历多样化，这样在申请大学时很容易引起招生办的注意。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义句猜测题。根据第三段的“The choice of after-school activities should be authentic, says Melissa Rousseau, director of undergraduate admissions at Calvin University in Michigan. “You can usually tell when a student is just adding things to add things,” she says. “So it’s nice when you can see they have really dived deep into an interest or taken part in something that widens their views a little bit.”(密歇根州卡尔文大学本科生招生主任Melissa Rousseau说，课后活动的选择应该是……的。她说：“你通常可以分辨出学生有些时候只是在添加东西。”“所以，当你看到他们真的深深地投入到一种兴趣中，或者参与到一些能稍微拓宽他们视野的事情中时，这很好。”)可知，Melissa Rousseau认为大学的招生办主任通常能轻而易举地分辨出哪些只是为了体现兴趣多元化而刻意增添的东西。因此，她认为课外活动的选择要真实，即划线词意为“真实的”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“I’d rather see challenging courses with not-perfect grades than easy courses with perfect grades.(我宁愿看到成绩不完美的挑战性课程，也不愿看到成绩完美的简单课程。) ”可知，Rousseau建议大学申请者参加具有挑战性的课程。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Every student has something they are interested in, whether that’s music, theater, writing, sports or community service. But to stand out from their peers, applicants need to diversify their résumé, especially their list of after-school activities.(每个学生都有自己感兴趣的东西，无论是音乐、戏剧、写作、体育还是社区服务。但为了在同龄人中脱颖而出，申请者需要使简历多样化，尤其是他们的课外活动清单。)”和第三段“The choice of after-school activities should be authentic(课后活动的选择应该是真实的)”可知，大学申请者们的简历中要有各种各样的、真实的课外活动；根据第四段的“College applicants are also advised to challenge themselves in high school.(大学申请者也被建议在高中挑战自己。)”可知，大学申请者们要勇于挑战自己；根据第六段的“Academic performance is another factor considered in the college application process. But grade drops can happen, whether due to a death in the family, struggles with mental health, difficulty adjusting to high school or other personal reasons. That’s OK, but it’s important to show upward progression.(学业成绩是大学申请过程中考虑的另一个因素。但是，无论是由于家庭死亡、心理健康问题、难以适应高中还是其他个人原因，成绩都可能下降。没关系，但重要的是要表现出向上的进步。)”可知，大学申请者们的成绩单要显示成绩上升的趋势。因此，本文主要介绍了三个在大学申请者中脱颖而出的技巧。故选A。 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。 Not long ago, a Halloween gathering in a narrow street turned into a deadly stampede (踩踏), with at least 155 deaths being reported. ____16____. Of course. Here are some tips to increase the chances of survival when a stampede happens. ●____17____ The key to staying safe in a crowd begins the moment you arrive at the location, says Randy I. Atlas, a safety expert. That’s to say, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are. It’s a piece of common-sense advice that Atlas applies not just to big events, but even when entering almost any room. ●Go with the crowd If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, do not fight hack or push the opposite way. ____18____. If you go against the low, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk is, according to experts: if you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly. ●Figure the “WAY” out ____19____. Therefore, you can potentially angle (斜移) your way out of the situation, experts say. The goal, according to writer Patrick Hutchison, is to get to “the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a chokepoint, like a doorway.” ●Mind the posture In many stampede events, people die from asphyxiation - they are simply pressed to the point where they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you. ____20____ Sometimes, the right posture can make all the difference. A. Pay attention to the exit B. Don’t panic and take immediate action C. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd D. Death in this disaster is usually caused by being stepped on E. Some people may wonder what we can do to survive a stampede F. That could give you some very valuable breathing room and protect your chest G. Move in a specific direction rather than straight as you go forward with the crowd 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. C 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了在踩踏事件中如何自救。 【16题详解】 根据上文的“Not long ago, a Halloween gathering in a narrow street turned into a deadly stampede, with at least 155 deaths being reported. (不久前，万圣节在一条狭窄街道上的聚会变成了致命的踩踏事件，据报道，至少有155人死亡。)”和下文的“Of course. Here are some tips to increase the chances of survival when a stampede happens .(当然。这里有一些提示，可以在发生踩踏事件时增加生存机会。)”可知，E项(有些人可能想知道我们能做些什么来躲过踩踏事件)承接上文，说明人们要想办法在踩踏中挽救自己的生命，下文作为过渡句引出具体的做法。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据下文的“The key to staying safe in a crowd begins the moment you arrive at the location, says Randy I. Atlas, a safety expert. That’s to say, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are. It’s a piece of common-sense advice that Atlas applies not just to big events, but even when entering almost any room. (安全专家Randy I. Atlas说，在人群中保持安全的关键是从你到达现场的那一刻开始。也就是说，他建议人们注意最近的出口在哪里。这是一条常识性的建议，阿特拉斯不仅将它用于大型活动，甚至在进入几乎任何房间时也适用。)”可知，A项(注意出口)能够概括本段内容，适合作为标题。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据上文的“If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, do not fight back or push the opposite way. (如果突然出现恐慌，人群开始向某个方向推进，不要反击或向相反的方向推进。)”和下文的“If you go against the low, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk is, according to experts: if you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly. (如果你逆流而上，你被绊倒和撞倒的几率就会增加。根据专家的说法，另一个风险是：如果你与人群作斗争，你很快就会筋疲力尽。)”可知，C项(相反，朝着人群移动的方向移动。)承接上文，指出不要与人群移动的方向反着来，而是要方向一致，下文指出方向不一致可能带来的后果。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文的“Therefore, you can potentially angle your way out of the situation, experts say. The goal, according to writer Patrick Hutchison, is to get to “the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a chokepoint, like a doorway.” (因此，专家们说，你有可能通过调整角度来摆脱困境。据作家帕特里克·哈奇森称，目标是“到达踩踏事件的边缘，这样你就不太可能被困在瓶颈处，比如门口。”)”可知，G项(与人群一起前进时，朝着特定的方向而不是笔直地前进)指出要有明确的逃生路线，与标题“Figure the “WAY” out (找出“出路”)”相符。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文的“In many stampede events, people die from asphyxiation - they are simply pressed to the point where they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you. (在许多踩踏事件中，人们死于窒息——他们只是被压到无法呼吸的地步。但避免这种情况的一种可能方法是将你的手臂放在你面前。)”和下文的“Sometimes, the right posture can make all the difference. (有时，正确的姿势会让一切变得不同。)”可知，F项(这可以给你一些非常宝贵的呼吸空间，保护你的胸部)承接上文，指出将你的手臂放在你面前带来的好处，下文进行总结说明，恰当的保护动作带来的意义。故选F项。 第三部分 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。 Seeing the news of the 2022 Nobel Prize on TV, I ____21____ a story about Albert Einstein.

The list included the likes of Carolyn, Debra, Gladys, and Meryl for girls and Billie, Chandler, Greg, Stevie, and Walt for boys. And while you might think this is sad, the loss out of names that were once beloved, one woman has shared why she’s relieved (宽慰的) that her name might not be used any more. Carolyn Creel, a designer, recently learned that her name was one of those at risk of extinction with parents. But she said there was no anger or offence (冒犯) caused by this, and instead, she felt just the opposite. She has told of her relief at the name fading away as she’d suffered for years with people mispronouncing it and spelling it wrong. She said, “For me it’s quite a relief that Carolyn isn’t going to be used anymore! Firstly, no one can pronounce it. I’m always called Caroline and no one can spell it either. I’m not at all sad or offended, and it’s just development. I didn’t like it when people got the spelling or pronunciation wrong. I also found it hard when I was learning to spell and write as it’s quite a long name! My daughter was given a shorter name for that reason!” There were 80 names in total on the list of those set to go extinct and it was put together by the team over at Pregnacare by Vitabiotics. To do this, they analyzed government data from 1996 to 2022 looking at the number of babies born with each name every year and picked out those with fewer than three births. They’ve then used this information to predict the names that will be the least popular in the future and are at risk of disappearing altogether. 4. Why are some baby names set to go extinct? A. They are from abroad. B. They are hardly used by parents. C. They are difficult to register. D. They are of no original meaning. 5. What made Carolyn relieved? A. Her name dying away. B. The easy spelling of her name. C. Her anger to be controlled. D. The pronunciation of her new name. 6. What can be known about Carolyn’s daughter’s name? A. It is difficult to spell. B. It is hard to pronounce. C. It is taken from Carolyn’s. D. It is shorter than Carolyn’s. 7. How did the team do research according to the last paragraph? A. By studying lots of factual data. B. By gathering data from different areas. C. By questioning parents of newborn babies. D. By focusing on the number of new babies. C A cup of coffee before breakfast, is considered quite normal for many people, especially those who have to rise early for work. Some experts, however, have warned the morning habit could have an effect on your health. Experts have warned the possible bad effects of drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Researchers from the University of Bath have advised making sure to line your stomach before drinking caffeine, which they say could greatly affect a person’s blood sugar control. The study, the findings of which were published in the British Journal of Nutrition, was carried out on 29 healthy male and female volunteers, all of whom took part in three different overnight experiments. In scene one, volunteers have a sugary drink after waking up from a normal, uninterrupted (不间断的) sleep. In scene two, they had the exact same drink after sleeping poorly, having been awoken every hour for five minutes each time. When it came to the third scene, volunteers drank a strong black coffee after waking up from an interrupted sleep and were also given a sugary drink half an hour later. Once all three experiments ended, researchers collected blood samples from each of the 29 volunteers and examined their blood sugar level. It was found that interrupted sleep had no obvious important effect on a person’s blood sugar level when compared to uninterrupted sleep. A strong black coffee drank on an empty stomach, however, increased their blood sugar level to the sugary drink by about 50 percent. Although further research is needed to better understand long-term risks, the final research result of the researchers is that drinking black coffee first thing before breakfast could actually have an important effect on a person’s blood sugar and metabolic (代谢) control after an interrupted night’s sleep. 8. What do experts suggest before you drink coffee? A. Getting enough sleep. B. Having a sugary drink. C. Eating something. D. Filling yourself up with food. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The volunteers’ sleep habits. B. The course of the experiments. C. The purpose of the experiments. D. The volunteers’ blood sugar levels. 10. What can be inferred from the research result? A. Normal sleep helps low blood sugar level. B. A sugary drink is no good for an empty stomach. C. Interrupted sleep has little effect on blood sugar level. D. Male volunteers achieve uninterrupted sleep easily. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Coffee’s key role in a health research B. Coffee’s bad effect on human’s health C. An experiment on the effect of coffee on sleep D. A warning of drinking coffee before breakfast D The road to an acceptance letter begins with standing out on the college application. Here are some tips on ways to set yourself apart from other college applicants. Every student has something they are interested in, whether that’s music, theater, writing, sports or community service. But to stand out from their peers, applicants need to diversify (多样化) their résumé, especially their list of after-school activities. “Being in a lot of sports is great,” says Natalie, director of admissions at Frostburg State University in Maryland. “We absolutely don’t want to take away from that because we know student-athletes do see success in the classroom when they’re balancing both class and their athletic requirements. But also, what can we add on top of that to look at that diversity?” The choice of after-school activities should be authentic, says Melissa Rousseau, director of undergraduate admissions at Calvin University in Michigan. “You can usually tell when a student is just adding things to add things,” she says. “So it’s nice when you can see they have really dived deep into an interest or taken part in something that widens their views a little bit.” College applicants are also advised to challenge themselves in high school. But that doesn’t mean a student’s schedule needs to be filled with all honors or more advanced subjects. Students can take an additional course subject outside of the standard requirements, for example. “Instead of just taking the 10th grade biology course, they might sign up for anatomy, environmental science or something else that just shows they wanted to go a little bit deeper,” Rousseau says. “I’d rather see challenging courses with not-perfect grades than easy courses with perfect grades.” Academic performance is another factor considered in the college application process.

Of course. Here are some tips to increase the chances of survival when a stampede happens. ●____17____ The key to staying safe in a crowd begins the moment you arrive at the location, says Randy I.

It’s a piece of common-sense advice that Atlas applies not just to big events, but even when entering almost any room. ●Go with the crowd If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, do not fight hack or push the opposite way. ____18____.

But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you. ____20____ Sometimes, the right posture can make all the difference. A. Pay attention to the exit B. Don’t panic and take immediate action C. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd D. Death in this disaster is usually caused by being stepped on E.
