Downey's mother spent one year studying abroad through an international exchange program with a French school. She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.
Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.
U.S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year.The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four-year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.
Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.
Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues (问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional (情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, “The more you're out of your comfort zone, the more rewarding the experience is in the end. ”

Wang Xuan, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, was planning to get the Internet and TV service in the U.S. She went to Verizon, the US' largest wireless communication service provider, only to be told that she couldn't enjoy the service because her credit score wasn't high enough.
In most Western countries, the credit score is a number that determines whether you are a reliable person to offer credit to. A higher score means you have better personal credit. Your score is affected by your monthly debts, whether you pay bills on time and other types of information.
Wang is hardly alone in dealing with the credit score trouble. Many Chinese overseas students lack the necessary knowledge about credit scores, even though it's widely used in their everyday life. Banks will check your score if you want to get a credit card. To get a loan, a good credit score is vital. It also matters, when you rent an apartment or buy a house. Its influence doesn't end there. An increasing number of employers now check the credit scores of applicants. You can't ignore that a credit report can be a judge of character.
So how can you get a good credit score? Meet your repayments on time and pay off your accounts early if you can. If you're using savings to pay off debts, make a good budget and keep enough cash in an easy-access savings account for emergencies. If you want to improve your credit rating immediately, you should fix all the problems on your credit file before you start applying for a loan. Also, cancel credit cards that you're not currently using.
4.What problem did Wang Xuan have?
A.Her credit score was too low.
B.Her credit affected graduation.
C.She couldn't enjoy public services.
D.She couldn't stay in the U.S. any more.
5.Why do students like Wang have the credit score trouble?
A.Because the credit score is too hard to improve.
B.Because they don't know how to get a credit card.
C.Because the credit score is hardly used in their life.
D.Because they lack relevant knowledge about credit scores.
6.What does the underlined word “judge” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.The fact of proving something true.
B.The ability to do something well.
C.The official in control of a court.
D.Someone who decides a competition.
7.What may cause the credit score trouble?
A.Having few monthly debts.
B.Using savings to pay off debts.
C.Paying off your accounts early.
D.Having little cash in an account.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,结合具体事例讲述中国留学生因不了解美国信用评分机制而导致麻烦,就此提出建议。
4.解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的only to be told that she couldn't enjoy the service because her credit score wasn't high enough可知王璇因为信用评分不够高而不能享受这项服务,故A正确。
5.解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句Wang is hardly alone in dealing with the credit score trouble. Many Chinese overseas students lack the necessary knowledge about credit scores...可知很多中国留学生缺乏对信用评分的必要了解导致了这样的麻烦,故D正确。
6.解析:选A 词义猜测题。此处的judge指其所在句子中从句的主语a credit report“信用报告单”, 依据逻辑推测信用报告单可作为一个人性格特征的事实依据,所以A项正确。
7.解析:选D 推理判断题。语篇最后一段的主旨是如何保持良好的信用评分。根据第三句If you're using savings to pay off debts, make a good budget and keep enough cash in an easy-access savings account for emergencies.可知账户里要有足够的现金。如遇突发情况,现金不足可能会导致信用评分方面的麻烦,故D项正确。

In today's difficult economic time, it's natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad. Does the benefit outweigh the cost?The answer, in fact, is yes, when you look at the road ahead.
When the economy becomes more challenged, competition for the workforce increases, and employers look for employees with the best credentials(资历). Having an overseas degree—from a university where strong English skills are required—can make all the difference. The added expertise of a foreign degree, along with more cultural experience, can make you more qualified for many jobs.
A 50-year study of 3,400 students shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person's life and continues to impact the participant's life for years after the experience.
82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path. 70% stated that it ignited(点燃)an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience.
And the effect on one's career can be equally strong. A study by the Queensland, Australia government showed:
61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume. 72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee.
Still, there's the question of how to pay for studying overseas. But the cost doesn't have to be as high as you think. Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs. And, there are plenty of ways to further offset(抵消)the cost—through financial tips, advice and grants(补助金).
8.The second study shows that studying abroad .
A.helps one to get a job
B.affects one's whole life
C.affects one's career direction
D.helps one to make more money
9.The author tries to prove his idea by .
A.giving examples
B.answering questions
C.listing facts and numbers
D.offering advice and solutions
10.What does the author think about the university fees?
A.Financial tips must increase the university fees.
B.Scholarships can cover some of the costs.
C.Money is a serious problem for studying abroad.
D.There are few ways for the students to earn money.
11.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A.Studying abroad is easy.
B.Studying abroad is rewarding.
C.The effects of studying abroad.
D.The problems with studying abroad.

Having a microchip implanted in a man's brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla—has been working on this technology.On Aug 28,Musk gave a livestream demonstration of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip, developed by Musk's company, is the size of a coin. But don't let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3, 000 electrodes (电极) attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons (神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers. In the livestream, Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology “would solve a lot of brain injuries”, which allows the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence, Musk said.
When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility(移动性) issues, such as those suffering from paralysis. Musk hopes this technology could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy (癫痫).
Although such a device could, in principle, repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig's brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.
Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body.
Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic. “There are many technological challenges... to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes, ” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.
12.Whatdo we know about Elon Musk's microchip according to the first three paragraphs?
A.It is able to collect wireless signals.
B.It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
C.It has no more than 1, 000 electrodes.
D.It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
13.What is the major goal of the microchip in human applications?
A.To develop a cure for epilepsy.
B.To monitor animals' brain activity.
C.To help people with difficulty in moving freely.
D.To contribute to the research in AI technologies.
14.What do Paragraphs 6-7 mainly talk about?
A.Potential problems in applying the chip to humans.
B.Key differences between pigs' and humans' brains.
C.The amount of time and money implanting the chip could cost.
D.How the immune system is the major obstacle to the implant.
15.How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain?
A.Excited. B.Optimistic.
C.Cautious. D.Worried.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将微芯片植入人的大脑听起来很科幻, 但埃隆·马斯克的公司已经开始实施这样的实验了。
12.解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段前三句可知这个由马斯克公司开发的芯片只有硬币大小。但别让它的尺寸愚弄了你。这个微型芯片有3000多个电极连接在柔性线上, 可以监测大约1000个神经元。可推知, 芯片虽小, 但功能强大, 可以监测大约1000个神经元。故选D。
13.解析:选C 细节理解题。由第五段中的第一句可知, 当这种装置能够应用于人类时, 它的主要目标将是帮助那些行动不便的人, 比如那些瘫痪的人。可推知, 芯片在人类应用中的主要目标是帮助行动不便的人。故选C。
14.解析:选A 主旨大意题。由第六段中的第一句可知, 虽然这种装置原则上可以修复这些问题, 但将其付诸实践绝非易事。和第七段可知, 此外, 将芯片植入大脑也有潜在的危险。免疫系统有攻击这个异物的危险。可推知, 芯片运用于大脑绝非易事, 对大脑有风险, 可得出第六七段主要讲将芯片应用于人类可能存在的问题。故选A。
15.解析:选C 推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知, 中国科技大学副教授袁兰峰在接受《中国日报》采访时说: “还有许多技术挑战需要克服, 才能使Neuralink的设备达到预期目的。可得出对将芯片植入人脑一事, 袁兰峰很谨慎。故选C。

My university was in one of those small cities and I also got the chance to obtain a scholarship which made it easier for me to start my studies. 18 . Opportunities were offered to develop our networking and explore the business world. The university participated as a partner in international networking courses leading to a European master's degree, a double degree, or training abroad.
19 . So, if you are an international student who comes to France for study, you can take the chance to explore another country for a term and study English.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework, ”Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their schoolbags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water... ”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She's stolen my watch! ” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday. ”

Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Dead silence suddenly fell. So embarrassed was Jenny that she felt her face burning and her mind going blank. Despite the unwillingness to admit it, she had actually made the most shameful mistake. Jenny was thrown into a dilemma whether to tell the truth or not. Considering the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she plucked up her courage, uttering in a begging tone, “But Miss Walker, could I deliver the speech first?” All the classmates fell into tremendous curiosity, eager to witness her performance.
At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first. Overwhelmed with excitement, Jenny confidently made her way to the platform, words flooding out of her fluently. Never before in her life had she delivered such a terrific speech. Praises spread around the classroom and even Miss Walker nodded with approval. Feeling incredibly refreshed, Jenny finished her speech, which was greeted with thunderous applause. Relieved, Jenny exposed the truth and especially the magic of the watch. “But it's just an ordinary watch without any magic. ” announced Lee. Not until then did Jenny realize the real source of confidence comes from his effort rather than the watch.
