Passage 4 If you’re moving in or moving out of your student accommodation, you might need a helping hand. Whether you’re having new purchases delivered to your dormitory, or searching for some place out of campus to store your things, BoxIt is always here to help. We store suitcases, cycles, sacks and stacks of other stuff in our secure sites. If you need packing materials, tell us and we’ll send them to you. You can upload photos of the things in each box to your own BoxIt account to remind yourself what is where, and then download our app to monitor your belongings as they move. When you’re ready, book the delivery of your boxes online. Just let us know what you need to be stored and we’ll send one of our staff to pick your things up, but remember that if the address we are delivering your boxes to is farther than 25 miles from where we picked them up, there is an additional charge. Collections are free from Monday to Friday if we collect between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Don’t leave any empty space in your box — this makes your box weaker and may damage the things inside, and not filling the box also means you need more boxes so it costs you more. And don’t put too much into your box — keep it under 25 kilos in weight. If you pack the following items in your boxes, we can’t be responsible for any damage to your things when we’re moving them: ·Knives and sharp objects ·Musical instruments in soft cases ·Food ·Antiques ·Pets or any other living creatures ·Mirrors or large glass items Make sure the driver can easily get into your place and that you are at your address for the full duration of the collection time. 1．To have items delivered by BoxIt, one needs to ________.

Passage 6 Art & Science: Fun Experiments to Try Science helps artists try new ideas. Want to create better art? Understand the science behind it! Now, let’s try four experiments connecting science and art. Wet Wall Painting Do you know Wet Wall Painting-painting on wet plaster (灰泥)? Try this: Mix cornstarch (玉米淀粉) and water to make sticky mixture. Paint on it. The mixture acts like real plaster-it takes in paint water, making colors brighter. This scientific method helps art stay beautiful for hundreds of years. Ink Color Secret Are all black markers the same? Use filter paper (滤纸) to find out. Draw a dot with a black marker. Put the paper’s edge in water. As the water rises, it separates ink into different colors. You might see blue or yellow! This method, called color separation, helps make perfect ink colors. Cream Art Design Make colorful patterns with shaving (剃须) cream. Spread cream on a plate, add food coloring drops.Mix colors with a stick. Press paper on top. The soap in the cream has two special parts-some attract water, others push it away. When pressed, these special parts lock in colors in various patterns, and each pattern looks new and different! Moving Picture Magic Make a flipbook (翻页书) with sticky notes. Draw small changes on each page like a ball bouncing (弹跳). Flip the pages quickly to see the movement! Large changes between pictures make the movement broken; small changes produce smooth moving images — exactly how cartoon movies work. This shows how our brains might use visual clues to fill in missing information. These experiments show what science has to do with art. By understanding science, artists can complete their works more creatively. 1．What materials are used in Wet Wall Painting? A．Water and cornstarch. B．Filter paper and water. C．Cream and food coloring. D．Sticky notes and markers. 2．The flipbook experiment mainly shows ________. A．ways to create sticky notes B．the science behind cartoon movies C．how to use clearer visual clues D．how to draw larger changes on pages 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To develop science theories. B．To show science in art. C．To offer art lessons. D．To explain science subjects.

Passage 9 Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) . Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven approach to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers—led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind—said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 1．Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A．Tool to interpret pig emotions.

Want to create better art? Understand the science behind it! Now, let’s try four experiments connecting science and art. Wet Wall Painting Do you know Wet Wall Painting-painting on wet plaster (灰泥)? Try this: Mix cornstarch (玉米淀粉) and water to make sticky mixture. Paint on it. The mixture acts like real plaster-it takes in paint water, making colors brighter. This scientific method helps art stay beautiful for hundreds of years. Ink Color Secret Are all black markers the same? Use filter paper (滤纸) to find out. Draw a dot with a black marker. Put the paper’s edge in water. As the water rises, it separates ink into different colors. You might see blue or yellow! This method, called color separation, helps make perfect ink colors. Cream Art Design Make colorful patterns with shaving (剃须) cream. Spread cream on a plate, add food coloring drops.Mix colors with a stick. Press paper on top. The soap in the cream has two special parts-some attract water, others push it away. When pressed, these special parts lock in colors in various patterns, and each pattern looks new and different! Moving Picture Magic Make a flipbook (翻页书) with sticky notes. Draw small changes on each page like a ball bouncing (弹跳). Flip the pages quickly to see the movement! Large changes between pictures make the movement broken; small changes produce smooth moving images — exactly how cartoon movies work. This shows how our brains might use visual clues to fill in missing information. These experiments show what science has to do with art. By understanding science, artists can complete their works more creatively. 1．What materials are used in Wet Wall Painting? A．Water and cornstarch. B．Filter paper and water. C．Cream and food coloring. D．Sticky notes and markers. 2．The flipbook experiment mainly shows ________.

D．To explain science subjects. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了四个将科学与艺术结合的实验，展示科学对艺术的帮助，体现艺术中的科学。 1．细节理解题。根据Wet Wall Painting部分“Try this: Mix cornstarch (玉米淀粉) and water to make sticky mixture.(试试这个：将玉米淀粉和水混合成粘性混合物)”可知，湿墙绘画使用的材料是水和玉米淀粉。 2．细节理解题。根据Moving Picture Magic部分“Make a flipbook (翻页书) with sticky notes. Draw small changes on each page like a ball bouncing (弹跳). Flip the pages quickly to see the movement! Large changes between pictures make the movement broken; small changes produce smooth moving images — exactly how cartoon movies work. This shows how our brains might use visual clues to fill in missing information. (用便利贴制作一本翻页书。在每一页画上细微变化，比如弹跳的小球。快速翻动书页，就能看到动态效果！画面之间变化过大会让动作显得断断续续；细微变化则能呈现流畅的动态画面，卡通电影正是运用了这个原理。这也能说明我们的大脑是如何借助视觉线索，补齐缺失信息的)”可知，翻页书实验主要展示了卡通电影背后的科学原理。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Science helps artists try new ideas. Want to create better art? Understand the science behind it! Now, let’s try four experiments connecting science and art. (科学帮助艺术家尝试新想法。想创作更好的艺术吗？了解背后的科学原理！现在，让我们尝试四个连接科学和艺术的实验)”和最后一段“These experiments show what science has to do with art. By understanding science, artists can complete their works more creatively. (这些实验展示了科学与艺术的关系。通过理解科学，艺术家可以更有创意地完成他们的作品)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了四个将科学与艺术结合的实验，文章的主要目的是展示艺术中的科学。 Passage 7 No single job suits all of us, but many of the best ones have a few characteristics in common.

Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven approach to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers—led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind—said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 1．Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A．Tool to interpret pig emotions. B．Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C．Method to identify Parkinson’s disease D．Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 2．Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A．A sculptor. B．A biologist. C．A chemist. D．An archaeologist. 3．What do the inventions have in common? A．They focus on health issues. B．They are developed by Facebook. C．They aim to promote productivity.

The choice you make doesn’t mean you are only limited to one path. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION • Do I have a career in mind? Although your major does not necessarily dictate your future career path, you should consider your future career goals. If you already have a clear career goal, you should research the education requirements. If you are not sure, you are supposed to research different fields. A certain major might ignite your interest and then lead you to your dream job. • How much does money matter? Some majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary goal for you, search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more information on higher-earning majors and careers. • What do I love to do? If you love what you study, you will be more likely to achieve great success. You tend to have a better grasp and valuable connection in the field. And you will find your college years more fulfilling if you cultivate your passion. TIPS FOR DISCOVERING WHAT INTERESTS YOU • Explore different courses! Don’t take random free electives. You are supposed to take different courses in various subjects. By branching out to what you do not know, you may discover an unknown interest and lead you to your major. • Meet with a CDC staff member! Your Career Development Center (CDC) is eager to help you! Meet with a peer Career Ambassador to learn more about yourself and explore possible majors. They can help you set career goals, find internship opportunities and more! • Utilize the CDC’s online resources! CDC offers many online resources for self-assessment and career search. We make recommendations for majors and careers based on our answers! See page 6 for more details of what we have to offer! 1．If you haven’t decided your future career, you are advised to ________.

(如果你已经有了一个明确的职业目标，你应该研究一下学历要求。如果你不确定，你应该研究不同的领域。某个专业可能会激发你的兴趣，然后引导你找到理想的工作)”可知，如果还未决定未来职业，建议研究不同的领域。 2．细节理解题。根据“• Meet with a CDC staff member!”部分中“Your Career Development Center (CDC) is eager to help you!
