During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their lives. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form a positive experience during my high school years. When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather shy and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I learned to respect diversity, which turned out to be particularly helpful in the real world. My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the disabled can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life. It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to mine and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life. 4. What does the author think of the high school period? A. It brings no significance to life. B. It is often criticized by people. C. It deserves to be taken seriously. D. It is full of unplanned experiences. 5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Ways to help and respect patients. B. The importance of diversity in the world. C. Friendship between volunteers and patients. D. The author’s changes brought about by volunteering. 6. What does the author consider the value of service? A. It gains volunteers great fame and money. B. It brings positive changes to people around. C. It merely helps disabled patients in hospital. D. It makes patients depend on volunteers much. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call on the young to volunteer. B. To explain the benefits of volunteering. C. To introduce suitable community work. D. To share the author’s volunteering experience. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己在医院做志愿者的经历，介绍了志愿活动带给自己的成长、感悟以及对服务价值的理解，呼吁青少年一起参与志愿者服务。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is often said that the high school period is one of the most important stages that an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time.(人们常说高中阶段是个人人生中最重要的阶段之一，也是塑造人生的关键时期)”可知，作者认为高中阶段至关重要，值得认真对待。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather shy and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others.(起初我十分腼腆内向，随着时间推移，我学会主动社交、善待病患、尊重差异)”可知，本段主要讲述志愿活动给作者带来的个人改变与成长。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community.(“服务”的意义在于改变他人的生活、为社区和谐贡献力量)”可知，作者认为志愿服务的价值是为身边的人带来积极改变。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to my own and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life.(非常遗憾的是，我们这一代的许多青少年都没有类似我自己的经历，因此错过了一些可以在生活中学到的重要人生经验)”可知，作者非常遗憾的是许多青少年没有和其一样的经历，错过了一些可以在生活中学到的重要经验，因此想号召大家一起参与志愿者服务。 C Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boat competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship. However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Aboriginal, native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations. In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. “Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,” one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said. 8. What is the original purpose of Australia Day? A. To observe a late summer festival. B. To honor the arrival of the British. C. To mourn natives hurt by colonization. D. To celebrate national identity and values. 9. What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Debate. B. Defence. C. Faith. D. Puzzle. 10. What did the British probably do to the natives after their arrival? A. They protested Aboriginal land rights. B. They mourned the suffering of natives. C. They caused deaths and suffering to natives. D. They recognized Aboriginals’ independence. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Calls to change date have been settled. B. Australia Day needs understanding and respect. C. More Australia Day activities will be organized. D. The date of Australia Day will soon be changed. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了澳大利亚日的设立初衷、民众庆祝方式，同时讲述了原住民对此节日的争议，以及政府为化解分歧、促进包容所做出的努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship.(澳大利亚人庆祝这一公共假日。相较于创立者最初设想的庄重国庆日，如今人们更多将其视作夏末节庆；这一节日凝聚人心，颂扬身为澳大利亚人的幸运，以及团结整个国家的价值观：自由、独立、公平机遇与伙伴情谊。)”可知，该节日的设立初衷是歌颂国家认同感与核心价值观。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, not all Australians feel the same about the day.(并非所有澳大利亚人都对这一节日抱有相同看法)”以及“Aboriginal, native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations.(原住民，尤其是澳大利亚土著居民，长期以来将这一天称为“入侵日”或“全国哀悼日”，以抗议英国人的到来。他们哀悼在殖民过程中遭受苦难并逝去的先祖。甚至有越来越多的人呼吁更改这一国家纪念日的日期，这一举措在年轻一代中颇受欢迎，但在年长一代中却不太受支持。)”可知，人们对该节日的举办日期存在巨大争议、分歧。controversy表示“争议、争论”，与debate同义。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization.(他们哀悼在殖民过程中遭受苦难并逝去的先祖)”可知，英国人到来后的殖民行为，给原住民带来了苦难与死亡。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding.(我们希望澳大利亚日是一个包容的时刻，也是增进彼此理解的契机)”可知，澳大利亚日需要包容、理解与尊重，以此融合不同群体。 D People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet, because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge (烂泥), all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says. Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common. We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve will have a strong impact on how in the future we’ll be seen. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful — and even cherished. 12. What are two totally different features of plastics mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Popular but rarely recycled. B. Easy to make but hard to clean. C. Harmless to nature but harmful to humans. D. Some long-lasting but others easy-to-degrade. 13. What can we infer from Anna Laganà and Tonkin’s words? A. Traditional restoration saves plastic. B. Fashion plastic conservation is solved. C. Museums lack plastic preservation skills. D. Getty Institution leads plastic preservation study. 14. What is the main role of Paragraph 3? A. Explain why plastic preservation is harder. B. List ways museums protect plastic cultural objects. C. Show plastic items are common in global museums. D. Stress the growing challenges of plastic preservation. 15. Where can this passage be found? A. A science report. B. A fashion magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A science fiction book. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了塑料两种截然不同的特性，阐述了博物馆在塑料文物保护方面面临的技术难题与日益严峻的挑战，并指出塑料文物保护对未来考古研究的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People often complain that plastics are too durable... don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge.(人们常常抱怨塑料过于耐用……难以分解。但部分塑料会随时间变质、开裂并融成烂泥)”可知，文中提到部分塑料持久耐用、部分塑料易变质降解的两种相反特性。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited(但对于塑料，我们的认知依旧有限)”以及“We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics.(我们目前仍在摸索塑料的保护方法)”可知，目前博物馆缺乏成熟的塑料文物保护技术与经验。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common.(但塑料的保护工作很可能会变得更加困难。老旧藏品持续老化损坏。更糟糕的是，本就易分解的生物可降解塑料如今也越来越普及)”可知，该段层层递进，点明塑料文物保护的多重难题，重点强调塑料文物的保护挑战日益严峻。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章围绕塑料的特性、塑料文物保护难题及相关研究现状展开，内容客观严谨、兼具科普性与专业性。结合全文科学科普的行文风格，本文最有可能出自一篇科学报道。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to the IIE Open Doors Report, only 8% of international undergraduates used U.S. university scholarships as their main funding source, with universities covering most or all tuition and living costs. Many others got smaller performance-based scholarships to offset (抵消) some expenses. Though these successful applicants have diverse backgrounds, they share similar qualities that raise their chances for admissions and scholarships. Below are key strategies to improve your odds of getting such opportunities. Grades and Test Scores Most universities use high school grades and ACT/SAT scores to predict college performance. Even if these grades and test scores are optional for admission, they are usually required for scholarship consideration. ____16____ High School Curriculum ____17____ Scholarship programs also consider your academic performance in the context of your high school challenges. Such advanced coursework and extracurricular activities provide solid evidence that you are ready for college beyond regular curriculum. A student with strong grades in challenging classes is more attractive than one with similar scores in easier courses. Recommendation Letters Choose counselors and teachers who know you best to write your recommendation letter. A good letter should address your unique qualities, emphasize challenges you overcame, and reference your achievements mentioned in the application. ____18____ Scholarship committees rely on these letters to check your application information. Personal Statements and Interviews ____19____ Use your personal statement to explain your background, interests, and future goals related to the institution’s mission. Research the college thoroughly and practice expressing your ideas in both writing and interview formats. Early Application and Interest Waiting until the final deadline won’t help you win scholarships. Colleges often give scholarship preference to early applicants as they show more interest and likelihood to enroll. Reaching out to staff and faculty early can also bring advantages, as committees may note the quality of these interactions for future reference and consideration. ____20____ A. Seize preferred deadlines to get noticed. B. Challenging courses show academic ambition. C. Volunteer work boosts your application strengths. D. Selective programs want to ensure you fit their campus environment. E. Therefore, top 25% class grades can make it easier to get scholarships. F. Achieving competitive standardized test scores may be optional sometimes. G. It will showcase your strengths in detail and make your application impressive. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. G 19. D 20.

The Student Affairs Office logo in the corner made his stomach sink. He opened it slowly. Health and Safety Warning. Fine(罚款): $300. Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now gone, all because of a messy room! Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized. For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair, empty snack bags collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was homesick. Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now. holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake. “I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too?” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair. His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed. Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today...” Eric’s energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong?” Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read. “Oh, no. A fine? Three hundred? I’m... I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk. Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy...” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.”Eric nodded firmly, guilt written all over his face. “You’re right. It’s my mess, and I’ll take full responsibility.” They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Eric collected the overflowing trash while Andy organized the shared desk space. As they cleaned, Eric kept saying sorry, promising he would change. Seeing Eric’s sincerity, Andy felt some of his frustration disappear. By the time they finished, the room looked spotless. Eric sat on his now-clean bed and sighed, ‘I never realized how much my habits were affecting you. Thanks for not just kicking me out.” They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough -- they needed rules.Eric suggested they create a simple roommate agreement. “How about this?” he proposed. “I’ll take out the trash every Friday, and I promise to keep my clothes off the floor. If I break the rules, I’ll pay you double the fine next time.” Andy smiled for the first time that day. “Deal,” he said, extending his hand. “And I promise to speak up if something bothers me instead of bottling it up.” They shook hands, feeling a renewed sense of trust. That night, they even ordered pizza together, but this time, Eric made sure the boxes went straight to the bin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了国际学生Andy因室友Eric房间脏乱收到300美元罚款通知，这是他暑假全部收入。Andy一向整洁且常帮Eric收拾，此次回家两周后返回却遭此无妄之灾。Eric得知后深感愧疚并道歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘没关系的，’Andy轻声说道，‘不过咱们现在一起把它清理干净吧。’可知，第一段可描写两个人一起彻底打扫房间卫生的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们俩都明白，一次性的清洁是不够的——他们还需要制定一些规则。”可知，第二段可描写他们两人一起制定卫生规则，分担责任，共同维护房间整洁。 2.续写线索：Eric道歉——共同打扫——制定规则——承诺——原谅——友好相处 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect /gather/assemble ②道歉：say sorry/apologize/make an apology ③消失：disappear/melt away/lift/fade away 情绪类 ①羞愧，愧疚：guilt/shame/humiliation/regret ②沮丧：frustration/discouragement/depression 【点睛】 [高分句型1].Eric nodded firmly, guilt written all over his face. （运用了“名词+过去分词”的独立主格结构） [高分句型2].As they cleaned, Eric kept saying sorry, promising he would change.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句及现在分词作状语） [高分句型3]. “Deal,” he said, extending his hand.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年下期期末考试 高二英语试题卷 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What will Jason do at 8:00?

Below are three concise, practical routes including distinct regions and ICH categories.

B It is often said that the high school period is one of the most important stages that an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their lives. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form a positive experience during my high school years. When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather shy and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I learned to respect diversity, which turned out to be particularly helpful in the real world. My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the disabled can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life. It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to mine and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life. 4. What does the author think of the high school period? A. It brings no significance to life. B. It is often criticized by people. C. It deserves to be taken seriously. D. It is full of unplanned experiences. 5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Ways to help and respect patients. B. The importance of diversity in the world. C. Friendship between volunteers and patients. D. The author’s changes brought about by volunteering. 6. What does the author consider the value of service? A. It gains volunteers great fame and money. B. It brings positive changes to people around. C. It merely helps disabled patients in hospital. D. It makes patients depend on volunteers much. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call on the young to volunteer. B. To explain the benefits of volunteering. C. To introduce suitable community work. D. To share the author’s volunteering experience. C Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boat competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship. However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Aboriginal, native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations. In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. “Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,” one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said. 8. What is the original purpose of Australia Day? A. To observe a late summer festival. B. To honor the arrival of the British. C. To mourn natives hurt by colonization. D. To celebrate national identity and values. 9. What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Debate. B. Defence. C. Faith. D. Puzzle. 10. What did the British probably do to the natives after their arrival? A. They protested Aboriginal land rights. B. They mourned the suffering of natives. C. They caused deaths and suffering to natives. D. They recognized Aboriginals’ independence. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Calls to change date have been settled. B. Australia Day needs understanding and respect. C. More Australia Day activities will be organized. D. The date of Australia Day will soon be changed. D People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet, because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge (烂泥), all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says. Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common. We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve will have a strong impact on how in the future we’ll be seen. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful — and even cherished. 12. What are two totally different features of plastics mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Popular but rarely recycled. B. Easy to make but hard to clean. C. Harmless to nature but harmful to humans. D. Some long-lasting but others easy-to-degrade. 13. What can we infer from Anna Laganà and Tonkin’s words? A. Traditional restoration saves plastic. B. Fashion plastic conservation is solved. C. Museums lack plastic preservation skills. D. Getty Institution leads plastic preservation study. 14. What is the main role of Paragraph 3? A. Explain why plastic preservation is harder. B. List ways museums protect plastic cultural objects. C. Show plastic items are common in global museums. D. Stress the growing challenges of plastic preservation. 15. Where can this passage be found? A. A science report. B. A fashion magazine. C. A travel brochure. D.

Many others got smaller performance-based scholarships to offset (抵消) some expenses. Though these successful applicants have diverse backgrounds, they share similar qualities that raise their chances for admissions and scholarships. Below are key strategies to improve your odds of getting such opportunities. Grades and Test Scores Most universities use high school grades and ACT/SAT scores to predict college performance. Even if these grades and test scores are optional for admission, they are usually required for scholarship consideration. ____16____ High School Curriculum ____17____ Scholarship programs also consider your academic performance in the context of your high school challenges. Such advanced coursework and extracurricular activities provide solid evidence that you are ready for college beyond regular curriculum.

Personal Statements and Interviews ____19____ Use your personal statement to explain your background, interests, and future goals related to the institution’s mission. Research the college thoroughly and practice expressing your ideas in both writing and interview formats.

Colleges often give scholarship preference to early applicants as they show more interest and likelihood to enroll. Reaching out to staff and faculty early can also bring advantages, as committees may note the quality of these interactions for future reference and consideration. ____20____ A.

The Student Affairs Office logo in the corner made his stomach sink. He opened it slowly. Health and Safety Warning. Fine(罚款): $300. Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now gone, all because of a messy room! Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized. For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair, empty snack bags collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was homesick. Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now. holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake. “I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too?” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair. His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed. Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today...” Eric’s energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong?” Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read. “Oh, no. A fine? Three hundred? I’m... I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk. Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy...” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
