Apply and Fly — Fly-in Programs for College Visits
College fly-in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.
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 (实习).
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 (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!
1. 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 student feedback on colleges.
2. 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.
3. 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.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】

Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from New York studio to Pennsylvania to write about a young sustainable farmer she’d heard of. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it.
“Instead,” Kimball remembers,“ he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work, and yet when I started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded.”
“And something happened that day. I just fell in love with the work.” she adds. “I think that human beings are in some way born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history of the world have focused their energy on.”
In a way, Kristin Kimball was lucky. When she decided to move to a farm in upstate New York, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, Kimball has documented her adjustment to rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is consistently dirty. “I had no idea you could be dirty in so many different ways,” she says. “There’s dirt. There’s blood. There’s sweat. There’s your own sweat, and the sweat of the animals.”
In spite of the constant hard work, Kimball’s farm still has its quiet, romantic moments. The first year she planted potatoes, the yield (收获) was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. Friends were called to help. “It was truly fall,” Kimball writes:
The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field and served them steaming in napkins (餐巾纸). We all warmed our chilled fingers on them, popped them open, invested them with quantities of butter and salt. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet.
4. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming?
A. Well-planned. B. Interest-based. C. Unexpectedly-taken. D. Curiosity-driven.
5. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Naturally. B. Patiently. C. Passively. D. Hesitantly.
6. Why did Kimball write the book?
A. To share the joy of harvest. B. To promote the benefits of farming.
C. To record her adaptation to country life. D. To introduce the farming skills she learned.
7. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph?
A. The happiness in cooking potatoes. B. The satisfaction gained from farm life.
C. The significance of teamwork in farming. D. The challenges of farming in cold weather.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B

The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.
In a recent interview about the use of AI in production agriculture, John Deere’s President of Lifecycle Solutions, Justin Rose, said AI is essential to his company’s goal of helping farmers be more profitable and sustainable while using fewer resources: less land, chemicals and labor.
Rose points to Deere’s See & Spray technology and its use of AI to boost productivity through improved crop protection chemical use. “Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.
The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments. AI is helping with this challenge. Farmers don’t have endless opportunities to get everything right, but with the help of AI, we can turn a farm career’s 40 harvests into 40,000 opportunities to learn and optimize (优化).
Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’ re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.
8. How does Rose illustrate AI’s function in chemical use?
A. By giving an example. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making an assumption.
9. What are farmers advised to do in paragraph 4?
A. Acquire knowledge of AI and apply it.
B. Adjust equipment according to the season.
C. Increase the number of harvests by using AI.
D. Take endless chances to get everything right.
10. What does Rose think of AI’s current application?
A. Immature. B. Fast-paced. C. Highly-developed. D. Complex.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Will Replace Workers in Various Fields
B. AI Is Busier in Agriculture Than Many Realize
C. Farmers Say Goodbye to Traditional Agriculture
D. Aims of AI Are Changing in Developing Agriculture
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,本文主要介绍人工智能在农业中的应用迅速增长。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.(传统的喷雾器可以对整个田地喷洒除草剂,但我们的系统使用36个摄像头和先进的机器学习来识别和喷洒杂草,同时以每小时12-15英里的速度移动,每分钟覆盖3个足球场的长度。”他指出,与传统的应用方法相比,该系统使用的化学物质减少了70%,显著提高了盈利能力、可持续性和效率)”可知,Rose是通过作比较的方式来说明人工智能在使用化学品中的作用,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments.(人工智能在农业中的例子很多,每年都在迅速增长,但在农民能够从这些发展中受益之前,他们必须首先熟悉这项技术,以及如何操作它、摊位设置、围绕设备计划他们的季节并进行季节性调整)”可知, 该段建议农民熟悉人工智能技术并投入到实际应用中,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.(Rose表示,人工智能竞赛才刚刚开始。他解释道:“这是有史以来发展最慢的时候,我们都必须提高自己的水平,更快地前进。”这包括那些设计和编程人工智能应用程序的人,那些依赖于人工智能应用程序的人,以及那些销售和服务人工智能应用程序的人)”可知,Rose认为人工智能目前的应用不够成熟,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.(人工智能热潮的结果为现代农业找到了肥沃的土壤,从应用系统到移动机器操作调整。人工智能的工业革命正在推动农业的快速发展,设备制造商创造出“更智能”的机器,这些机器配备了越来越多的背景数据和模仿人类大脑的数字电路)”和第四段中“The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year(人工智能在农业中的例子很多,每年都在迅速增长)”可知,本文主要介绍人工智能在农业中的应用迅速增长,B项“人工智能在农业中的作用比许多人意识到的要大”作适合作为标题,故选B。
D
You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.
While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.
“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.
12. What is sleep paralysis?
A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.
C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.
D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen.
13. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?
A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation.
C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility.
14. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?
A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases.
C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis
B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns
C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis
D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国篆刻艺术的历史、发展以及其在当今社会的应用和影响力,该艺术于2009年被联合国教科文组织列入非物质文化遗产名录。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它一直是中国古典艺术不可分割的一部分。根据句意可知,此处表示“一个不可分割的部分”,且inseparable是以元音音素开头的单词,所以应用不定冠词an修饰,表泛指。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:篆刻艺术可追溯到商朝,已有三千多年的历史。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词has,所以date应用非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语Seal-engraving art之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式,作定语。故填dating。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种艺术形式在秦朝得到了迅速发展,当时人们在器具和文件上刻上自己的名字来表明所有权。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Qin dynasty,在从句中作时间状语,所以应用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:秦始皇统一中国后,他命令一群工匠用玉制作一枚名为“玺”的御印。craftsman为可数名词,由a group of可知,此处应用其复数形式。故填craftsmen。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:直到明朝,艺术家和学者才开始使用刻有自己名字的印章来标记他们的书法和绘画作品的所有权。use sth. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“用某物做某事”,所以此处应用动词不定式to mark作目的状语。故填to mark。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:1904年,西泠印社在不同流派印章艺术家的共同努力下成立,它是中国第一个此类组织。修饰名词efforts应用combine的形容词形式combined作定语,意为“共同的”。故填combined。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:1904年,西泠印社在不同流派印章艺术家的共同努力下成立,它是中国第一个此类组织。根据句意可知,空格前后为并列关系,所以应用连词and连接两个分句。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:如今,印章在官方文件和私人信件中仍被广泛使用。in use是固定搭配,意为“在使用中”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:近年来,随着篆刻印章获得全球的赞赏,越来越多的人迷上了这种物品。根据空格前的形容词worldwide可知,此处应用appreciate的名词形式appreciation,作gaining的宾语,且appreciation为不可数名词。故填appreciation。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,随着篆刻印章获得全球的赞赏,越来越多的人迷上了这种物品。根据时间状语in recent years可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语an increasing number of people为复数,助动词应用have。故填have become。

【答案】distracted

【详解】考查动词的被动语态。句意:在网课期间,很多学生很容易被手机上弹出的消息分散注意力,无法专心听老师讲课。distract意为“分散,分心”,这里学生是“被”手机消息分散注意力,所以要用被动语态“be + 过去分词”,distract的过去分词是distracted,已转化为形容词。故填distracted。

学习外语不仅是掌握词汇和语法——更是打破不同文化间的隔阂的一种方式。

Apply and Fly — Fly-in Programs for College Visits
College fly-in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.
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 (实习).
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 (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!
1. 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 student feedback on colleges.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from New York studio to Pennsylvania to write about a young sustainable farmer she’d heard of. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it.
“Instead,” Kimball remembers,“ he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work, and yet when I started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded.”
“And something happened that day. I just fell in love with the work.” she adds. “I think that human beings are in some way born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history of the world have focused their energy on.”
In a way, Kristin Kimball was lucky. When she decided to move to a farm in upstate New York, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, Kimball has documented her adjustment to rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is consistently dirty. “I had no idea you could be dirty in so many different ways,” she says. “There’s dirt. There’s blood. There’s sweat. There’s your own sweat, and the sweat of the animals.”
In spite of the constant hard work, Kimball’s farm still has its quiet, romantic moments. The first year she planted potatoes, the yield (收获) was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. Friends were called to help. “It was truly fall,” Kimball writes:
The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field, and served them steaming in napkins (餐巾纸). We all warmed our chilled fingers on them, popped them open, invested them with quantities of butter and salt. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet.
4. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming?
A. Well-planned. B. Interest-based. C. Unexpectedly-taken. D. Curiosity-driven.
5. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Naturally. B. Patiently. C. Passively. D. Hesitantly.
6. Why did Kimball write the book?
A. To share the joy of harvest. B. To promote the benefits of farming.
C. To record her adaptation to country life. D. To introduce the farming skills she learned.
7. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph?
A The happiness in cooking potatoes. B. The satisfaction gained from farm life.
C. The significance of teamwork in farming. D. The challenges of farming in cold weather.
C
The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.
In a recent interview about the use of AI in production agriculture, John Deere’s President of Lifecycle Solutions, Justin Rose, said AI is essential to his company’s goal of helping farmers be more profitable and sustainable while using fewer resources: less land, chemicals and labor.
Rose points to Deere’s See & Spray technology and its use of AI to boost productivity through improved crop protection chemical use. “Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.
The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments. AI is helping with this challenge. Farmers don’t have endless opportunities to get everything right, but with the help of AI, we can turn a farm career’s 40 harvests into 40,000 opportunities to learn and optimize (优化).
Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’ re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.
8. How does Rose illustrate AI’s function in chemical use?
A. By giving an example. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making an assumption.
9. What are farmers advised to do in paragraph 4?
A. Acquire knowledge of AI and apply it.
B. Adjust equipment according to the season.
C. Increase the number of harvests by using AI.
D. Take endless chances to get everything right.
10. What does Rose think of AI’s current application?
A. Immature. B. Fast-paced. C. Highly-developed. D. Complex.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Will Replace Workers in Various Fields
B. AI Is Busier in Agriculture Than Many Realize
C. Farmers Say Goodbye to Traditional Agriculture
D. Aims of AI Are Changing in Developing Agriculture

You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.
While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.
“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.
12. What is sleep paralysis?
A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.
C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.
D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen.
13. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?
A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation.
C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility.
14. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?
A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases.
C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis
B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns
C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis
D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move
