Reading, essays and problem sets can pile up very quickly! Balancing your university work can be tricky. It's easy to fall behind, but you don't have to. In this article, we will discuss how to stay on top of your assignments. Pay attention to the syllabus(课程表) The best way to stay on top of your assignments is to be aware of what's going on in class. You can do this by checking your class syllabus often. Write down all the due dates in your planner so you don't forget them. Set aside time to read and work on your assignments Another way to ensure you stay on top of your assignments is to set aside time to do them. When you schedule time, you can also intentionally choose the time when you work best. Set goals You should also set goals for yourself. Start with some simple goals. Dedicate a certain amount of time to an assignment and make sure to finish it on predetermined day. Pace yourself Although it's important to get all your work done, you also don't want to burn yourself out. For this reason, you should pace yourself and plan to complete the assignment over the course of a few days. Ask for help if you need it Ask someone for help when you're stuck. The best person you could ask would be your professor. When you ask for help, you will have no excuse to procrastinate(拖延) on that difficult assignment. ________________ Finally, once you have finished your work, you could give yourself more time to watch Netflix, have a special dessert or sleep in. You've earned it! 36．From the passage we can learn that ________． A．college students should take as many courses as possible B．college students have no excuse to procrastinate assignments C．college students are generally much occupied in their studies D．college students must balance university work on their own 37．By pacing yourself in learning, ________． A．you will accomplish your assignment beyond the duration B．you can quit completing the assignment of the course C．you must get all the work done in a short period of time D．you can avoid getting exhausted from the work pressure 38．What should you do if you are trapped in the tough assignment? A．Ask the professor for help to solve your problem. B．Start with some simple goals rather than big ones. C．Schedule the best time to work it out intentionally. D．Ask for your classmates' advice and complete it on time. 39．Which can most likely be the subheading of the last paragraph? A．Behave yourself. B．Reward yourself. C．Excuse yourself. D．Prove yourself. 40．What purpose does the passage serve? A．To make an advertisement for self－help courses for college students. B．To inform college students of new ways to entertain themselves. C．To give advice to college students for better learning performance. D．To offer practical tips to college students with learning disabilities. B It is 6 am on the first day of the school year. In Cherrybrook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work. One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom. This technology is Mr Woo's core tool of the trade. “I'm Mr Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I'm about to record this one，” he explains to his new maths class. The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed. Mr Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia—a maths teacher by day and an Internet sensation(轰动) by night. He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school. Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr Woo's videos on his free YouTube channel and website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now boasts more than 38，000 subscribers(用户) and has attracted almost 4 million viewers worldwide. Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia, and making maths popular again. “He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it，” Mr Johnson said. 12－year－old student Emily Shakespear said Mr Woo's teaching style made maths irresistible. “I don't want to say it, but he sucked me into maths，” she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar, agreed. “It's difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country，” he said. Mr Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards. 41．Eddie Woo set up an iPad in the middle of the classroom with the purpose of ________． A．listening to music B．playing a video C．recording his class D．showing pictures 42．Why is Mr Woo's approach considered unique? A．He simplified maths and shared his teaching videos online. B．He recorded and shared all his attractive lessons for fun. C．He made maths irresistible for audience only in Australia. D．He won varieties of important awards as a maths teacher. 43．What can we infer from the statistics in the fourth paragraph? A．Mr Woo had made a lot of money by selling videos. B．Mr Woo posted videos online to help many adults. C．Mr Woo's teaching videos online are well received. D．Mr Woo created his Wootube in 2012 in Sydney. 44．According to Gary Johnson, Mr Woo's maths lessons are ________． A．difficult to follow B．easy to understand C．simple to handle D．challenging to learn 45．What can we learn about in the last paragraph?

D．Mr Woo's contributions to teaching have been recognised. C Twenty years ago, crises like the wildfires burning California and Hurricane Laura striking Louisiana in 2020 could have been described as “natural disasters”. Thanks to climate change, this is no longer the case. Around mid－August last year, the temperature in Death Valley hit the highest ever recorded on Earth. A hotter, drier California is much more likely to burst into flames. The Gulf of Mexico too is heating up, with dangerous consequences. Hurricanes draw their energy from the warmth of the surface waters and so are becoming stronger and more likely to intensify. Perhaps we need a new term to call these events, namely “man－made natural disasters”． People now play such a dominant role on the planet. By cutting down forests and digging mines and building cities, we've transformed half of the ice－free land on Earth. With our advanced tools, we move around more earth than all the world's rivers and streams. As a consequence, all sorts of catastrophes extend across the line between man and nature. Many earthquakes, for example, are now caused by human activity. Meanwhile, as the climate continues to warm, wildfires will grow even larger and storms more damaging. As Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, observed last fall, “If you don't like all of the climate disasters happening in 2020, I have some bad news for you about the rest of your life.” What's to be done? According to some scientists, the best way to deal with human intervention(干扰) in the natural world is to intervene better. Old technologies got us into this situation; new ones will get us out. Advocates of this view note the extraordinary advances that are being made all the time, in fields ranging from computing to genetics to material science. To prevent climate change, engineers have built machines that suck carbon dioxide out of the air. Today the numbers are limited, but perhaps one day they'll be as common as mobile phones. Other scientists argue that the new world－altering technologies are likely to have much the same impact as the old world－altering technologies, only with higher risks. Consider the example of some chemicals, which were produced in the hope of solving the problems caused by early refrigerants(制冷剂), but finally destroyed the ozone layer(臭氧层)． As for me, the choice we face is not whether to change the world; that decision unfortunately has been made. The decision going forward is how we are going to change it. Over the years I've interviewed scores of scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs, and I'm continually impressed by how smart humans are as a species. But then, the wind blows in smoke from 3，000 miles away, and I'm reminded of how dangerous we are as well. 46．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A．The severe situation of the California's wildfires. B．The cause of current natural disasters on Earth. C．The conditions of climate warming nowadays. D．The development of the natural disasters. 47．What message is implied in Andrew Dessler's words? A．Worse consequences will happen if humans don't act. B．Human beings will continue to take control of the Earth. C．All natural disasters are brought about by human beings. D．Nature will never be restored due to human beings' mistakes. 48．What is some scientists' attitude toward the events in nature? A．To spend more money on technology development. B．To reduce human intervention in the natural world. C．To produce machines to take CO2 out of the air. D．To apply new technologies to dealing with them. 49．How do other scientists argue about new technologies? A．Machines will be developed to improve climate warming. B．More engineers are needed to develop new technologies. C．New technologies can cause new problems to mankind. D．New technologies can change the world for certain. 50．What does the author indicate in the last paragraph? A．We should not change the world any more. B．We should feel proud of humans' intelligence. C．It is the way humans change the world that counts. D．Although humans are smart, we are in danger as well. 四、阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) We all know that in our lives, we never stop learning. In fact, there are those individuals who continue at an advanced age to learn new concepts, new information, and new skills. Grandfather Domenico, an elderly man who lives in Bari in southern Italy, decided to go back to middle school to get his eighth－grade diploma at the age of 83. In Grandfather Domenico's times, going to school was a completely different matter! Poverty was very common. Four students had to share one school desk, and education ended as soon as it was possible to find a job and go to work. It was the birth of his grandchildren that changed everything! In the evenings, Domenico often found himself reading and telling simple stories to his grandchildren, and right at that time, he began thinking about an idea that he had always had in the back of his mind. He wondered: “What if I decided to study and get my middle school diploma？” So, for a whole year, Domenico studied Italian, French, mathematics, science, technology... in short, all the subjects he needed to learn in middle school. His class was a very unusual middle school class. It was made up of immigrants who were eager to get their diplomas to find jobs, retired parents who in their mature age wanted to continue to reach personal aims, and young workers who wanted to get a better position or a promotion. In short, everyone there had a particular story that was sometimes painful but they were all eager to start a new path through education, study, and knowledge. And so instead of spending the evening playing cards or watching TV, Domenico prepared seriously for his exam, and his teachers were amazed at his great progress. In fact, his grandchildren also noticed his progress, seeing the ease with which their grandfather spoke to them about topics that once were unknown to him! 51．What can we learn about Domenico's educational background? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 52．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean？(no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 53．What was special about Domenico's class？(no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 54．What did Domenico's grandchildren find about him？(no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 55．How do you feel after reading Domenico's story?
