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. 41. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D. Would-be college students. 42. What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal? A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones. B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set. C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap. D. Push oneself to an upper level. 43. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________. A. prepare complicated questions B. try on someone else’s shoes C. listen to others carefully D. take advantage of others 44. What is the key to successful college study according to the author? A. Being well-organized. B. Being well-informed. C. Effective reading skills. D. Reliable research methods. 45. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is________. A. save money for financial investment B. estimate one’s income and expenses C. set aside money for fun activities D. open a personal bank account B A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment. The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first. With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can spot which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop, allowing farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it. 46. What’s the Mineral project’s goal? A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots. C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way. 47. Which word can best describe the company X? A. Ambitious B. Productive C. Potential D. Profitable 48. What contributes to the need for more food? A. The increasing population. B. The constant disasters. C. People’s bigger appetite. D. The development of industry. 49. What does the underlined part “the plot” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The series of events. B. A secret plan. C. The mark on a map. D. A piece of farmland. 50. What is special about plant buggies? A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions. C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops. C Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds. One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference. 51. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds? A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety. 52. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds? A. Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes. B. The progress still remains at the primary stage. C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well. D. Not many countries are involved in the activities. 53. According to the researchers, __________. A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas B. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together C. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries D. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes 54. What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage? A. They always travel from the north to the south. B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions. C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection. D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities. 55. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The migration of birds influences society development. B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes. C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds. D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary. D One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are． When we see something we don’t like，we wish it could be different．We cry out for something better．That may be human nature，or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture．The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different．However, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad，rather than saying, “It's not bad or good，and it just is it．” In one of my books，I said“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”．Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong．However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad．Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is． This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they’re that way．It will save you a lot of sadness，because you’ll no longer say,“Oh．I wish bad things didn’t happen!’’ Does it mean you can never change things? Not at a11．But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing． Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’11 continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world．That’s the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path．Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand．It might lead to some interesting results． 56. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________. A. it is our natural emotion in the life B. culture asks us to be different from others C. everyone has their own opinions on things D. we dislike something in the beginning 57. Some readers think the words in the author’s book is too ______________. A. depressing B. frightening C. delighting D. idealistic 58. In Paragraph 4，the underlined word "it" refers to ____________． A. acting well at work and in politics B. feeling depressed for the news media C. accepting and understanding what has happened D. saying something negative when bad things come 59. In the last paragraph，you are advised _____________． A. to help others and make a difference B. to enjoy what you have to do in the work C. to judge yourself and make a wish for you D. to try a new way when making the world better 60. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Expecting things to be different gives us hope． B. Accepting can make our life happier and better． C. Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness． D. Judging good or bad is important for our world． 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，两部分，共20分) 第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It’s break time. Molly sat at the picnic table alone while the rest of the students were running freely. The new girl was once again excluding herself from the midday celebration. Even though the school had been in session for several weeks already, she remained awkward around her classmates. Brianna, the class clown, was standing near the playground and making the other students laugh as usual. I interrupted her fun and asked her to come to talk with me. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there?” I asked. “She looks very lonely. Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come here to be with the rest of us?” I patted her on the shoulder. Brianna sighed. I could tell she didn’t want to waste her precious time on what I was saying, but I also knew her heart. She was sweet and kind and often thought of others, so I chose her for this task on purpose. Seeing that this choice pained her, I took a D-buck, our class currency, from my pocket. Though it was not the best way to handle this situation, I needed to ensure her cooperation. “Here, I’ll pay you for your time,” I said. She smiled, grasped the green paper, and headed towards Molly. My eyes focused on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. After talking for a while, Molly turned to a standing position. Then I felt a sense of relief. The girls walked back together. Several minutes later, Brianna walked to me and handed me the D-buck, saying, “I shouldn’t keep this, because I don’t want Molly to think I only went to her for a D-buck. She is my friend.” Then Brianna went back to her group. A moment later, they were all laughing again, and Molly was one of them. 61. What did the author ask Brianna to do?
