Afterwards we'll have a look round the Study Center.The center is open to all students and it's important that you go there and use what's available.You'll need your student ID card to borrow books and of course there are fines for returning late. Then I'll take you to the Sports Center.You'll notice some building work going on around there but don't worry it' ll be finished before next term. After the tour there's no need to return to the college hall.It's probably a good idea to go back to the departments you're interested in and speak to some of the students there.You'll be able to meet your subject teachers on your first day and they will help you with any other questions that you still have. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Unity Bow，Australia An Australian wedding ceremony might feature the tradition of a Unity Bowl.Guests are given stones and asked to hold them during the ceremony.At the end，guests place the stones in a decorative bowl that the couple will keep and display afterwards，to remind them of the support and presence of their friends and family. 　　A Goose for the Bride，Korea 　　According to Korean tradition，grooms once gave their mother-in-law wild geese or ducks；they are monogamous(一夫一妻制的)animals and represent the groom's pure intentions and loyalty to his bride.In a more modern tradition，brides and grooms exchange wooden geese and ducks on their wedding day as a sign of their commitment. 　　Blackening，Scotland 　　In this Scottish tradition，the bride，groom，or both are taken out on the day before their wedding，covered in treacle(糖浆)，ash，feathers，and flour by friends and family.The celebratory mess was originally carried out to avoid evil spirits and bring good luck. Log Cutting，Germany In Germany，newlyweds must instantly put their bond to the test by working together to saw(锯)a log in half in front of all their guests.The act is intended to show the bride and groom's ability to work together and to face the obstacles that may come throughout their marriage. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个国家的不同的婚礼文化。 21．What can guests often see in an Australian wedding ceremony? A．Red umbrellas. B．Bowls filled with stones. C．Wild animals. D．A drunk newly-wedding couple. 细节理解题。根据Unity Bow，Australia部分中“At the end，guests place the stones in a decorative bowl”可知，客人在澳大利亚人的婚礼上经常会看到满是石头的碗，故选B项。 √ 22．Why wild geese or ducks are used in Korean wedding? A．Because they are very beautiful. B．Because they are very expensive. C．Because they represent loyalty. D．Because they represent wealth. 细节理解题。根据A Goose for the Bride，Korea部分中“they are monogamous(一夫一妻制的)animals and represent the groom's pure intentions and loyalty to his bride.”可知，在韩国婚礼中用鹅或者鸭子是因为它们代表着忠诚，故选C项。 √ 23．What can be inferred according to the descriptions of the Scottish wedding? A．Guests play tricks on the brides and the grooms. B．The brides and the grooms exchange wedding rings. C．Gusts give expensive presents to the brides and the grooms. D．The brides and the grooms are blessed with best wishes and good luck. √ 推理判断题。根据Blackening，Scotland部分中“In this Scottish tradition，the bride...and flour by friends and family.”可知，在这个苏格兰传统中，新娘、新郎或两者都在婚礼前一天被带出去，被朋友和家人用糖浆、灰烬、羽毛和面粉覆盖；根据“The celebratory mess was originally cried out to avoid evil spirits and bring good luck.”可知，庆祝的混乱最初是为了避邪和带来好运。由此可推断出，新郎和新娘被祝愿好运，故选D项。 B 　　Joey Hudicka began his entrepreneurial(企业家的)journey by creating a strategy game called Puckz when he was just 10 years old，by combining two of his favorite interests—strategy games like checkers，and sports like ice hockey.Seeing the amazing experiences unfold for her big brother，Heidi Hudicka set out to create her own first business，a fashion clothing line for her 18 dolls. 　　But one day，Joey and Heidi met after school and experienced a real breakthrough.“I was telling Joey I was asking friends if they would like me to outsource(外包给)the sewing of my designs to them，since it is not really my favorite part of that business，but none of my friends understood what I meant by outsourcing，” recalls Heidi. 　　“When Heidi told me what happened after school that day I was like，‘Yeah!

The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions.And piece by piece，the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony! The composition was firstly released on October 9，2021.Not surprisingly，it caused some controversy(争议)．Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process.Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个由音乐家和科学家组成的团队使用人工智能(AI)完成了贝多芬的第十交响曲。 32．What is the purpose of the writer in writing Paragraph 1?

My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me “Dream is priceless”．However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream. 　　It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered $12.25 per hour.Compared with the average $3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mother.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. 　　Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage，“If you make your bed，you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1： 　　I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.______________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As expected，his face turned purple immediately.He glared at me like a bull.“You have your whole life to work，”he said，“but your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head down.“How much will you be paid，son？” He demanded.“$12.25 per hour.” “Well，”he shrugged.“Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream？” Paragraph 2： 　　That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yes，dream is priceless.It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream.I held my head high and said firmly，“Sorry，Mr.Jarvis.I know what to do next.”My coach smiled with great satisfaction.That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training.And one year later，I obtained a baseball scholarship to the University.I knew I would soon buy my mum a house. Thankfully，I made a right choice.Without Mr.Jarvis，I would never know I could afford a dream. 返回 谢 谢 观 看 Unit 4　Never too old to learn 返回 $
