As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green. PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air. CARS — Batteries Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge. TRAINS — Electricity Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive. SHIPS — Liquid ammonia Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign. This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke. 21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018? A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%. 22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships. 23 What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition? A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables. C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable. 21题，理解account for意为：（在数量、比例上）占的意思是解题关键，所以平时复习要注重短语的归类总结。22题，注意：同义表达，文章中的pretty simple和题干中的comparatively easily是同义表达。23.注意找关键词renewable energy。 本篇应用文最突出的特点是：出现了大量的与科技相关的新词汇。例如：automobile n.汽车 decarbonize vt.除去碳素, 除炭 Synthetic hydrocarbons 合成碳氢化合物 Liquid ammonia液态氨 1.（2025·湘豫名校高三上学期入学摸底） Solving the growing plastic waste puzzle As hard as it is to imagine a time when we weren’t buried in plastics, mass production of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) didn’t really begin until about 1950. Since then, however, we’ve generated an estimated 8.3 billion tons of the stuff — with about half that total coming since 2000 — and we’ve deserted something like 6.3 billion tons of it. Unfortunately for the planet, only about 9 percent of that plastic waste has ever been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, most recently in waste-to-energy facilities. But most of the rest has gone into landfills — or worse, into the environment. Much of what is done to recover plastic from the waste stream is a purely mechanical process. Once the plastic items have been sorted by polymer type and sent to the recycling workplace, they are simply cut up, washed clean and melted down into pellets (团粒). The pellets are then sold to manufacturers that will incorporate (组合) the material into new products. Many of the chemical recycling techniques are already quite mature. According to a 2019 report by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm that invests in circular economy-related startups, that list includes more than 40 plastics recycling plants that are either operating or scheduled to open within the next few years in the United States and Canada alone. At least some of those plants are expected to incorporate chemical recycling technology. 1．When does plastic waste reach its peak? A．Before 1950. B．Before 2000. C．After 2019. D．In recent decades. 2．At which procedure can plastics waste be made into monomers? A．Plastic manufacturing. B．Oil and gas refining. C．Chemical recycling. D．Mechanical recycling. 3．What is the sign of successful plastic waste recycling? A．Plastic waste recycling becomes commercialized. B．Plastic waste has been made into new plastics. C．Most of plastic waste has already gone into landfills. D．Much has been burned in waste-to-energy facilities. 2.（2026·山东省高三上学期开学联考） Cooling Down Artificial Turf: A Water-Based Solution Moving people and goods around the world is a major source of global CO2 emissions. But transportation is not the only area where we face challenges. Even in sports, we need to find ways to adapt to a changing climate. One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous. Artificial turf, often used in sports fields, can become very hot during sunny days. This heat can make it hard for players to enjoy their games. To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water. This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies. On hot days when the air temperature reaches about 30℃, this system has shown great results. The surface temperature of the cooled turf was much lower than regular turf, which is usually above 50℃. This new system not only improves the playing experience but also helps cities adapt to climate change. By cooling the turf, it reduces the heat in urban areas, making them more livable. This is part of a larger effort to use innovative solutions to tackle environmental challenges. In conclusion, the water-cooling system for artificial turf is a simple yet effective way to make sports fields safer and more enjoyable. It shows how small changes can have a big impact, helping us adapt to a warmer world. For more information, visit the project’s website at https://www.projectcitysports.com. 1．What does the new system aim to deal with? A．Difficulties in caring for turf. B．Injuries from playing on turf. C．Water supply for playing fields. D．Overheating of man-made grass. 2．Which plays the key role in the system? A．Thick grass. B．Direct sunlight. C．Loose soil. D．Cooling vapor. 3．What can we infer from the second illustration? A．Cooled turf is nearly as warm as natural grass. B．Air temperature is much easier to be lowered. C．The temperature gap is narrower on hot days. D．Water cooling is more effective than air cooling. 考点二 注意隐含条件，避免不必要的失误 在应用文计算题中，有时隐含一些额外的条件，如果在阅读过程中不注意这些条件，就会造成失误。 1.

Here are the results: As the diagram shows, the percentage of those who felt that they needed to help protect the environment is as high as 96%. Very few (4%) felt it was not necessary. More than half of those who took part in the survey had done four of the five activities in the past month. Around 90% had tried to recycle waste such as glass, metal and paper; and more than two thirds (70%) had tried to cut back on the use of disposable packaging, such as plastic honey bottles, butter and yoghurt containers. Also, the majority of residents had cycled or walked. Unfortunately, not as many who took part had taken action to save water and energy in their homes. Just under 40% (38%) tried to save water when they were washing dishes or taking showers. Just over half (51%) tried to save energy by reducing the use of air conditioning or turning off lights. To sum up, it seems that almost all who took part understood the need to help take care of the environment. Most of them tried to recycle waste, ride bikes or walk, and reduce the use of disposable packaging. However, not as many were saving water and energy. This indicates that the residents needed to pay more attention to these two activities. 1．The residents interviewed in the survey were ________. A．less than 15 years old B．from the countryside C．important city officials D．15 years of age and older 2．What percentage of residents tried to reduce the use of air conditioning or lights? A．38%.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 36. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D. Would-be college students. （2026·湖北省黄冈中学高三9月考） Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills.

What should you do with that time? Below are several tips to ease（使熟悉） yourself into college life. Participating in Campus Welcome Activities Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations （迎新会），campus picnics, and entertainments like concerts. Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fiin? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring Campus Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center~~will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes. Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won't hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes. Starting a Routine Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week. What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake. If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule. 40. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college. B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school. C. To help freshmen organize campus activities. D. To share his college experience with the reader. 1.（2026·河南省周口市等2地高三上学期开学） Our broadcasting camp will open on August 1st.

These hidden gems, with their unique charm and authentic experiences, promise unforgettable journeys. Here are three such destinations waiting to be explored:​ Daocheng Yading Nestled in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, this remote plateau scenic area is called “the last pure land on Earth.” Its snow-capped peaks (including the 6,032-meter Mt.

As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport. The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green. PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air. CARS — Batteries Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge. TRAINS — Electricity Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive. SHIPS — Liquid ammonia Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign. This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke. 21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018? A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%. 22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily? A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships. 23 What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition? A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables. C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. B 【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2018年不同交通方式的温室气体排放占比，以及飞机、汽车等各类交通工具的未来绿色燃料路径。 21. 细节理解题。根据图表信息ROAD VEHICLES部分中“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1% (道路(客运)45.1%)”以及“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4% (道路(货运)29.4%)”可知，道路车辆总占比为45.1%+29.4%=74.5%，即道路车辆在2018年全球交通排放中占比74.5%。故选C项。 22. 细节理解题。根据图表信息TRAINS — Electricity部分中“Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. (一些列车已经通过轨道或电线实现了电气化；其他火车可以通过非常简单的方式实现电动化)”可知，火车相较其他交通方式更易实现绿色化。故选C项。 23. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We need to speed up the development of green energy and it will all get used,” says Wipke. (Wipke说：“我们需要加速绿色能源的开发，而且这些能源都会被利用起来。”)”可知，Wipke建议加大对可再生能源的投入，即加大对绿色能源的投入。故选B项。 21题，理解account for意为：（在数量、比例上）占的意思是解题关键，所以平时复习要注重短语的归类总结。22题，注意：同义表达，文章中的pretty simple和题干中的comparatively easily是同义表达。23.注意找关键词renewable energy。 本篇应用文最突出的特点是：出现了大量的与科技相关的新词汇。例如：automobile n.汽车 decarbonize vt.除去碳素, 除炭 Synthetic hydrocarbons 合成碳氢化合物 Liquid ammonia液态氨 1.（2025·湘豫名校高三上学期入学摸底） Solving the growing plastic waste puzzle As hard as it is to imagine a time when we weren’t buried in plastics, mass production of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) didn’t really begin until about 1950. Since then, however, we’ve generated an estimated 8.3 billion tons of the stuff — with about half that total coming since 2000 — and we’ve deserted something like 6.3 billion tons of it. Unfortunately for the planet, only about 9 percent of that plastic waste has ever been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, most recently in waste-to-energy facilities. But most of the rest has gone into landfills — or worse, into the environment. Much of what is done to recover plastic from the waste stream is a purely mechanical process. Once the plastic items have been sorted by polymer type and sent to the recycling workplace, they are simply cut up, washed clean and melted down into pellets (团粒). The pellets are then sold to manufacturers that will incorporate (组合) the material into new products. Many of the chemical recycling techniques are already quite mature. According to a 2019 report by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm that invests in circular economy-related startups, that list includes more than 40 plastics recycling plants that are either operating or scheduled to open within the next few years in the United States and Canada alone. At least some of those plants are expected to incorporate chemical recycling technology. 1．When does plastic waste reach its peak? A．Before 1950. B．Before 2000. C．After 2019. D．In recent decades. 2．At which procedure can plastics waste be made into monomers? A．Plastic manufacturing. B．Oil and gas refining. C．Chemical recycling. D．Mechanical recycling. 3．What is the sign of successful plastic waste recycling? A．Plastic waste recycling becomes commercialized. B．Plastic waste has been made into new plastics. C．Most of plastic waste has already gone into landfills. D．Much has been burned in waste-to-energy facilities. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了塑料垃圾的产生情况、回收现状以及化学回收技术的发展。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“As hard as it is to imagine a time when we weren’t buried in plastics, mass production of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) didn’t really begin until about 1950. Since then, however, we’ve generated an estimated 8.3 billion tons of the stuff — with about half that total coming since 2000 — and we’ve deserted something like 6.3 billion tons of it. (尽管很难想象人类尚未被塑料包围的时代，但合成聚合物的大规模生产实际上直到1950年左右才真正开始。然而自那时起，据估算我们已生产了约83亿吨塑料——其中近半数产自2000年之后——而废弃量更是达到了惊人的63亿吨)”可知，塑料垃圾在最近几十年达到了峰值。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据图表上Chemical recycling下面的描述“Plastic waste is chemically processed back into monomers.(塑料废料经化学处理后重新变成单体)”可知，塑料废料在Chemical recycling环节被制成monomers。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many of the chemical recycling techniques are already quite mature. According to a 2019 report by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm that invests in circular economy-related startups, that list includes more than 40 plastics recycling plants that are either operating or scheduled to open within the next few years in the United States and Canada alone. (许多化学回收技术已经相当成熟。根据总部位于纽约的投资公司Closed Loop Partners 2019年的一份报告，该公司投资于循环经济相关的初创企业，该名单包括40多家塑料回收厂，这些工厂要么已经在运营，要么计划在未来几年内仅在美国和加拿大开业)”可知，塑料废物回收成功的标志是塑料废物回收实现了商业化。故选A项。 2.（2026·山东省高三上学期开学联考） Cooling Down Artificial Turf: A Water-Based Solution Moving people and goods around the world is a major source of global CO2 emissions. But transportation is not the only area where we face challenges. Even in sports, we need to find ways to adapt to a changing climate. One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous. Artificial turf, often used in sports fields, can become very hot during sunny days. This heat can make it hard for players to enjoy their games. To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water. This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies. On hot days when the air temperature reaches about 30℃, this system has shown great results. The surface temperature of the cooled turf was much lower than regular turf, which is usually above 50℃. This new system not only improves the playing experience but also helps cities adapt to climate change. By cooling the turf, it reduces the heat in urban areas, making them more livable. This is part of a larger effort to use innovative solutions to tackle environmental challenges. In conclusion, the water-cooling system for artificial turf is a simple yet effective way to make sports fields safer and more enjoyable. It shows how small changes can have a big impact, helping us adapt to a warmer world. For more information, visit the project’s website at https://www.projectcitysports.com. 1．What does the new system aim to deal with? A．Difficulties in caring for turf. B．Injuries from playing on turf. C．Water supply for playing fields. D．Overheating of man-made grass. 2．Which plays the key role in the system? A．Thick grass. B．Direct sunlight. C．Loose soil. D．Cooling vapor. 3．What can we infer from the second illustration? A．Cooled turf is nearly as warm as natural grass. B．Air temperature is much easier to be lowered. C．The temperature gap is narrower on hot days. D．Water cooling is more effective than air cooling. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对人造草皮过热问题所研发的一种水冷系统，阐述了其工作原理、效果及意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One example is the problem of hot artificial turf (人造草皮), which can make playing conditions uncomfortable and even dangerous.(其中一个例子就是人造草皮过热的问题，这会让比赛条件变得不舒服，甚至危险)”以及第二段中“To solve this, researchers have developed a new system that cools the turf using water.(为了解决这个问题，研究人员开发了一种利用水来冷却草皮的新系统)”可知，新系统旨在应对人造草皮过热的问题。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“This system stores rainwater just below the surface of the field. Over time, the water will turn into vapor (蒸汽), cooling the turf in a natural way, much like how sweating cools our bodies.(这个系统将雨水储存在场地表面下方。随着时间的推移，水会变成蒸汽，以自然的方式冷却草皮，就像出汗冷却我们的身体一样)”可知，冷却蒸汽在该系统中起着关键作用。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二张插图中所示可以看出，冷却后的人造草皮温度(cooled standard)与天然草皮温度(natural grass)高于空气温度(air temperature)，且基本重合，说明冷却后的草皮几乎和天然草皮一样温暖。故选A项。 考点二 注意隐含条件，避免不必要的失误 在应用文计算题中，有时隐含一些额外的条件，如果在阅读过程中不注意这些条件，就会造成失误。 1.

Here are the results: As the diagram shows, the percentage of those who felt that they needed to help protect the environment is as high as 96%. Very few (4%) felt it was not necessary. More than half of those who took part in the survey had done four of the five activities in the past month. Around 90% had tried to recycle waste such as glass, metal and paper; and more than two thirds (70%) had tried to cut back on the use of disposable packaging, such as plastic honey bottles, butter and yoghurt containers. Also, the majority of residents had cycled or walked. Unfortunately, not as many who took part had taken action to save water and energy in their homes. Just under 40% (38%) tried to save water when they were washing dishes or taking showers. Just over half (51%) tried to save energy by reducing the use of air conditioning or turning off lights. To sum up, it seems that almost all who took part understood the need to help take care of the environment. Most of them tried to recycle waste, ride bikes or walk, and reduce the use of disposable packaging. However, not as many were saving water and energy. This indicates that the residents needed to pay more attention to these two activities. 1．The residents interviewed in the survey were ________. A．less than 15 years old B．from the countryside C．important city officials D．15 years of age and older 2．What percentage of residents tried to reduce the use of air conditioning or lights? A．38%. B．51%. C．70%. D．90%. 3．Which activity had the highest participation rate according to the survey? A．Saving water at home. B．Recycling waste materials. C．Reducing disposable packaging use. D．Cycling or walking instead of driving. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 【解析】本文是一篇调查报告。主要介绍去年8月城市官员对500名居民进行的环保态度与行动调查结果及总结。 1．细节理解题。根据“It involved 496 city residents (15 years of age and older).

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 36. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D.

What should you do with that time? Below are several tips to ease（使熟悉） yourself into college life. Participating in Campus Welcome Activities Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins, including freshmen orientations （迎新会），campus picnics, and entertainments like concerts. Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture: What do students do for fiin? What are their favorite classes? What is the history of your university? It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring Campus Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center, psychological services, and the tutoring center~~will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier, because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes. Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held. This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes, and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place. If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings, a quick test run won't hurt. That way, you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes. Starting a Routine Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week, remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up. Starting classes means being in different places at different times, so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week. What helps you most is to schedule your sleep. Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake. If you have other daily routines, such as exercising or talking on the phone with family, work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule. 40. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college. B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school. C. To help freshmen organize campus activities. D.
