If I needed any help, I promised that I would ask them. 高二第四次练习英语科目试第6页共12页 德译 学 立迅 As it turned out, I had no problem putting everything together on my own, including my resume and a basic outline of my activities in high school. The only part where I asked for my parents' advice was the essays. In writing and revising the essays, I needed feedback from an audience. As my parents know me better than anyone, they were perfect for the job. The essays are extremely important in college admissions. In a competitive pool of applicants, the test scores and activities, as well as the recommendations are all going to be very similar. The essays are the one area in which students can make themselves stand out Essays don't have to be big and complicated. I wrote three essays, all focusing on small matters and using simple sentences. The admission officers have to read hundreds of essays a day: they are always tired of SAT vocabularies and long sentences. Therefore, a straightforward writing style is refreshing to their eyes as well as their minds. Essays were the key to my success in the admission game. I just wrote about what I wanted to say, not what I thought the admission officers would like to hear In my main narrative-style essay, I told the story of my American journey at the age of 14. During that time, I was not bogged down by trying to fit into a new environment: Instead, I looked up to Mother Teresa for guidance and strength. I found my new self and grew to love the name Teresa and the memories it held In my two minor essays, I explained the major events of my life, why I loved writing and why my dad is the person who has the greatest influence on me. Both provided details of my character. The essays about writing, which is titled, "I Shall Not Live in Vain" (inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem), earned a lot of praise It is because I really looked into my heart and thought deeply in order to reach my answers. 56. Why did the writer ask his or her parents for advice about the essays? A. Because they are extremely worried about his or her application. B. Because they are the only people he or she relies on. C. Because they know him or her perfectly well. D. Because they are more experienced. 57.

Researchers in the northern city of Sendai said that Japan's population of children aged up to 14, which now stands at 16.6 million, was falling at the rate of one child per 1o0 seconds. It would lead to a terrible result that there would be no children left in Japan in 1,000 years. "If the rate keeps falling at that rate in our country, there will only be one child who is able to enjoy the following Children's Day left on May 5th, 3011," said Hiroshi Yoshida, a professor at Toholu University. "But 10o seconds later, a national disaster that there are no children leff in Japan will happen," he added, "The nation's people will disappear for the birth rate has fallen to the level that every woman has no more than two children, which started in 1975." Yoshida said- they created the population clock to make Japanese people pay close attention to that problem for their nation's future. Another study showed that Japan's population was expected to fall to one third of the 高二第四次练习英语科目试第8页共12页 德学立远 present population amount: 127.7 milliou in the next century. The Japanese government predicted that the birth rate would just become 1.35 children per parents within 50 years. At the same time, Japanese life expectancy which is expected to ascend from 86.93 years in 2010 to 9o.93 years in 206o for women and from 79.64 years to 84.19 years for men has already been one of the highest in the world. More than 20 percent of the Japanese are aged 65 or over. It means that Japan has become one of the countries with aging populations in the world The problem of aging populations is a headache for the government and the Japanese economy because there are fewer and fewer workers who can make money for the country. However, the government has to face the terrible situation that it needs to offer a growing number of pensions. 61. Why did researchers think Japanese people would disappear in 1,ooo years? A. Because the Japanese are afraid of the changing environment. B. Because Japan will be destroyed by a serious earthquake C. Because the birth rate of the nation is at a very low level. D.

Gifted students in the Wichita Falls Independent School District in Texas had the opportunity to travel to STEM facilities and learn coding and other technical skills, but the transportation is not convenient. "We just started talking about, 'Wouldn't it be cool if we were able to design a mobile STEM lab?'"says Dr. Peter E. Griffiths, the district's associate superintendent. Educators soon realized that they could retrofit an old bus into a mobile STEM lab, which would provide increased access to career and technical edueation (CTE) experiences for students. Districts sold off buses when the vehicles became too old. Griffiths and his colleagues decided to retrofit one of those old vehicles, "Give me your 'best worst' bus," Griffiths said to the transportation department. Soon the process of transforming began. Griffiths reached out to Reuben Rodriguez, the owner of a local car company, and explained what they wanted to do. Rodriguez agreed to work with the district on the price on condition that they could send CTE students to lend a hand with some of the building work. And bringing the bus from the dream stage to fraition has taken a lot of joint efforts of educators and the community. Called STEAM Machine, the bus looks like a device from a video game or a real-life Lego truck, and rides as a mobile maker space. "It has two touch screen TVs outside. It comes complete with drones and drone obstacle courses that will help students learn about coding in an enjoyable way," Griffiths says. "Those are things that a lot of these kids have never experienced before." To drive the bus, the district has hired a retiring teacher who will take the bus to various schools and engage in different lessons with students and educators. "We were so concerned about kids losing out on experiences before, and this is a solution. We aren't going to Iet this go. The STE AM Machine wil be equiped with al the necessary materials and resources, and it may change the way students learn and engage with their education," Grifiths said. 66. What is the main purpose of the mobile STEM lab? 高二第四次练习英语科目试10页 共12页
