You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you're not quite sure what living there would be like.Applying takes time,so don't do it unless you're seriously considering the school-that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships(). Timeline and Tips: 1.Do your research early.Make a list of your target colleges.Do they have a fly-in program?When is the application due? 2.Write and edit essays.By doing so,you're taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the demanding college essays. 3.Submit!(Preferably a couple of days before the deadline,just in case.) 4.Wait.Generally,students will receive results at least two weeks before the event. Results Day: Read the email carefully. Waitlisted?If you wish to remain on the list,you may have to email back within a certain time frame 3 (it'll say in the email)to keep your spot. ACCEPTED!Congratulations!Make sure you do the following: 1.Submit permission forms on time.Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so. 2.Pack at least two days before!Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items. 3.Join a group chat.Tapping"add"on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus,you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you'll actually keep in touch with. Who knows,you might end up at the same college! 21.Why are fly-in programs offered? A.To assess students'levels. B.To develop students'interests. C.To expose students to college life. D.To collect students'feedback on colleges. 22.What are applicants of fly-in programs advised to do? A.Plan for potential fees. B.Make a list of programs C.Provide evidence of research. D.Avoid last-minute submission. 23.Which of the following methods does the text suggest for reaching other attendees? A.Emails B.Messaging groups. C.Phone calls. D.In-person meetups. B That youngsters were glued to online games on their smartphones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena,a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30-year-old social science teacher,who ran the Ngurang Leamning Institute,an adult literacy centre,said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers."The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets-basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive()expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,"Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to an infectious disease,she planned to do something to address the problem. Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram,Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30th August,2020,where passers-by could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books,biographies and novels as well as comics for young children."I have to please the minors with sweets to attract them to the bookshelf,but that is okay,"she laughed. Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months,her effort became the talk of the town. Now,generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town,she also lends books out to those who want to read at home. "I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,"Meena said,"Since childhood,we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don't want them to head on the wrong track,"she added. 24.What's the aim of Meena's reading program? A.To care for youngsters lacking in reading. B.To help adults leamn some cohesive expression. C.To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well. D.To highlight the importance of reading for adults. 25.What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more? A.She offered some rewards to them.* B.She provided them with transportation. C.She chose novels with beautiful covers. D.She selected books covering every category. 26.Which words can best describe Meena's libraries? A.Small and useless. B.Influential and meaningful. C.Large but impractical. D.Widespread but unwelcome. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Books:Sources of Knowledge B.The Roadside Reading Corner C.The Library:An Ideal Place for the Young D.New ldeas about Setting a Reading Plan c The Lifecycle of a T-shirt We all probably have a lot of T-shirts,but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet?You'd probably be surprised to learn what's involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt. There are 5 major stages:material,production,shipping.use and disposal ()The material stage involves farming,irrigating,fertilizing,harvesting and ginning.While cotton is a natural fiber()and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers,it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water,and the use of pesticides is widespread across the globe,especially in cotton farming.Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually,of which 25%was spent on cotton crops in the US. Once the cotton is grown and harvested,so begins the production stage:spinning,knitting,bleaching, dyeing,cutting,sewing,etc.-these processes also use a great deal of water and energy.Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater. After the T-shirt is produced,it enters the transportation stage.This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet.Chances are that most of your cotton garments (are made in China or India,Garments can be shipped via plane,ship or truck,all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that GO2 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile. Once the T-shirt reaches the retail market,it is purchased.This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part.But consider the number of times you've washed and dried your favorite T- shirt.Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient.However,the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year,using about 40 gallons of water per load.Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers. The final stage of life is disposal.This releases harmful emissions,or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down.Current US records show that an estimated 15%of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85%of these materials to landfills We all need new clothes every once in a while,but let's all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing...It has a real impact on the planet. There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact.Reuse and recycle clothes.If they're too wor out to wear,cut them up and use them as cleaning rags.Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles.When possible,make an effort to buy organic cotton.Turn down the thermostat on your washer,and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it. 28.The underlined phrase "takes a toll"probably means A.wastes water B.takes a lot of time C.uses energy D.has a bad effect 29.We can learn from the passage that in the US, A.pesticides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every year B.CO2 emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mile C.about 15%of the clothes and shoes are made of materials that are recycled D.about 16,000 gallons of water is used annually by an average family on laundry 30.What can be inferred from this passage? A.The production process may affect water safety. B.The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India. C.Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down. D.The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages. 31.What is the purpose of this article? A.To encourage people to donate clothes to charity. B.To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes C.To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton. D.To introduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing. D An open office is supposed to force employees to cooperate.To have them talk more face to face.To get them off instant messenger (IM)and brainstorming new ideas.But a recent study by two researchers offers evidence to support what many people who work in open offices already know:It doesn't really work that way.The noise causes people to put on headphones and tune out.The lack of privacy causes others to work from home when they can.And the sense of being in a fishbowl means many choose email over a desk-side chat. Ethan Bernstein and Stephen Turban,two Harvard Business School professors,studied two Fortune 500 companies that made the shift to an open office environment from one where workers had more privacy. Using"sociometric"electronic badges (and microphones,as well as data on email and instant messenger use by employees,the researchers found in the first study that after the organization made the move to the open-plan offices,workers spent 73%less time in face-to-face interaction.Meanwhile,email use rose 67%and IM use went up 75%. The participants wore the badges and microphones for several weeks before the office was redesigned and for several after,and the company gave the researchers access to their electronic communications.The results were astonishing."We were surprised by the degree to which we found the effect,"Bernstein said. The badges could tell that two people had a face-to-face interaction without recording actual spoken words. The researchers were careful to make sure other factors weren't in question-the business cycle was similar,for instance,and the group of employees were the same. In a second study,the researchers looked at the changes in interaction between specific pairs of colleagues,finding a similar drop in face-to-face communication and a smaller but still significant increase in electronic correspondence. Another wrinkle in their research,Bernstein said,is that not only did workers shift the way of communication they used,but they also tended to interact with different groups of people online than they did in person.Moving from one kind of communication to another may not be all bad-"maybe email is just more efficient,"he said-but if managers want certain teams of people to be interacting,that may be lost more than they think,The shift in office space could "have strong effects on productivity and the quality of work'. 7 Bernstein hopes the research will offer evidence that will help managers consider the possible trade- offs of moving to an open office plan.In seeking a lower cost per square foot,they buy into the idea that it will also lead to more cooperation,even if it's not clear that's true."I don't blame the architects,"he said. "But I do think we spend more of our time thinking about how to design workplaces based on the observer's angle""一the manager一“rather than the observed." 32.Employers prefer an open office because they think it can A.increase competition B.improve communication C.create a safe environment D.motivate worker'responsibility 33.Why was there an increase in electronic correspondence among employees? A.Because they thought little of desk-side chat. B.Because they shifted to a new business cycle. C.Because they wanted to protect their privacy. D.Because they needed to complete more tasks. 34.What does the underlined word "they"in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.The researchers. B.The managers.C.Certain teams of people. D.Different groups of workers. 35.As for the design of workplaces,what is Bernstein's major concern? A.Connectivity.B.Accessibility. C.User-friendliness. D.Cost-effectiveness. 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。 Picture your dream living room.You're sitting on the sofa with the window open.What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river?The hum from a nearby cafe?36 and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing. In times gone by,soundstapes(声音景观)would've consisted of the sounds of nature,,such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves.37.With rapid urbanisation,air travel,construction,and traffic noises are now in the mix,and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a higher risk of disease in humans.Not only that,it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on sound So,what can be done?38 _In Barcelona,Spain,city planners built"superblocks",where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised.A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality,and reduced noise. Other techniques include tree buffers,where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. 39 England has a vast network of hedgerows().And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers. 40 But cutting noise pollution is just as important,helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone.A better world isn't just cleaner,but it should sound better too. A.Urban design is one trick B.Sadly,that's no longer the case in the 21st century C.Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside D.This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape E.Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter F.In Germany,they have created earth banks next to the airport G.Noise is an essential part of the soundscape in most environments 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。 My son is tidying the living room with proper attention.This has never happened before and he's doing it all with a 41 on his face.

For example,in Chaoshan,Guangdong,woodcarving decorates furniture and temples,61 (deep) serving both artistic and symbolic purposes.Ethnic groups like the Zhuang integrate traditional patterns that 10
