Taking challenging classes in high school, such as honors and college-level courses, builds new skills and prepares you for college. They are exactly what admissions officers like to see on applications. Experience a Different Approach Here’s a brief overview of some of the classes that may be available to you: • Honors classes usually cover similar material as regular classes, but at a faster pace or more deeply than regular classes. • College Board’s AP Program offers college-level classes that help students develop and apply skills, such as reading critically, solving problems analytically, and writing clearly. More than 30 classes are available. • The IB program offers college-level classes that stress developing your thinking skills and an awareness of global issues. • College courses may be available for you to take while still in high school, either at your school or on a college campus. Find Your Passion Courses like these can introduce you to topics and ideas not covered in the regular classroom. You may even discover the subject that will become your college major or the focus of your career. Prepare for College Showing that you’ re willing to push yourself by taking demanding classes in high school can help when you’ re applying to college. The level of courses you take now is one of the first things colleges look at. In addition, college courses, IB classes and exams, and AP Exams may lead to college credits, advanced placement, or both in college.

When the novel opens, Klara, one of the AFs in a robot store, believes that her mission is to make her eventual owner happy. So she has to find out everything she can about human beings. However, she often feels confused about human beings. At one point, she and another AF, Rosa, see two taxi drivers getting into a fight. “I tried to imagine me and Rosa getting so angry with each other,” Klara says. “But I couldn’t.” There are other kinds of emotions Klara can’t understand. For example, she once saw two long-lost friends hug on the sidewalk. “They seemed happy,” she notes. “But it’s strange because they also seemed upset.” Little by little, Klara learns that people can feel more than one emotion at a time, even contradictory emotions. They sometimes say one thing but mean another. “Perhaps the most confusing thing was the complex strategies used by humans to escape loneliness,” Klara admits. Klara is eventually bought by Josie, who has had a deadly illness, and her mother (known as “the Mother”) who is dressed in high-rank office clothes. When Klara comes home with Josie, something odd starts to happen: The Mother keeps testing Klara to see if she can copy Josie’s movements, speech patterns and emotions well enough. Again and again, Klara asks: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to have a self? And how much of that self can and should we give to others? Here comes the central question of the novel: Can a copy replace the original? In the end, Klara copies Josie so well that she can look, speak, and act like her, but she tells the Mother, “I believe there’s an unreachable part inside Josie, something that’s unique and won’t transfer (转录).” Far from Klara’s efforts to feel like humans, there’s a sense that many humans in the novel actually envy AFs. “It must be great not to miss things,” says the Mother to Klara. 1.What does Kazuo Ishiguro most probably imply about Klara? A. She does not have true feelings. B. She can be very helpful in daily life. C. She should be greatly improved. D. She should observe humans more closely. 2.Why did the Mother buy Klara? A. She had to find a faithful friend. B. She needed her to take care of Josie. C. She hoped to find the best teacher for Josie. D. She wanted to make a copy of her sick daughter. 3.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Klara and the Sun Explores the Meaning of Life B. Klara and the Sun Asks What It Means to Be Humans C. Klara and the Sun Explains the Complex Human Weakness D. Klara and the Sun Shows Humans Will Be Replaced by Robots 4.Where is this text most likely from? A. A biography. B. A science report. C. A book review. D.

No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them. Types Introduction & Management Apple: Hard Core Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport. 1. Always stand up to them. 2. Get to the point. 3. Don’t take it personally. 4. Watch and learn from them.

They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. 1. Respect their need for space. 2. Don’t surprise them. 3. Listen with respect. 4. Show your pace. Banana: Sweet and Gentle Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive. 1.

The catch-all umbrella term refers to a “spiced meat, fish or vegetable stew, either freshly prepared as a powder or spice paste or purchased as a ready-made mixture. If you’re a curry lover, follow your desires around the world by heading to these destinations. India It’s impossible to sum up India’s various “curries” in a few lines. But if there’s one dish that can be found on menus across the country, it’d be murgh makhani — better known around the world as butter chicken. This famous dish stars chicken soaked in yogurt, then covered with a rich creamy sauce of tomatoes, onions and spices. Thailand Often made with coconut milk, Thai curry dishes vary across the country. Generally speaking, you’ll see drier varieties up north and wetter variations in central Thailand and down south, where coconut milk is more common. Thai curries come in a stoplight of colors — red, yellow and green — and strive to strike a balance between sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Japan Typically mild and thick, Japanese curry, kare raise, is eaten across the country. Usually cooked with pre-made mixes, Japan’s thick and soft variation usually features pieces of stewed beef, onions and carrots over a bed of rice. Malaysia Nyonya cuisine — dishes created by the Straits Chinese community — plays an important role in Malaysia’ s cooking melting pot. One of the best known Nyonya curries is kari ayam (bone-in chicken curry) which features a mix of Chinese techniques and Malaysian ingredients. Another dish that deserves mentioning is kapitan, which sees pieces of chicken fried in curry paste, and then cooked at a low heat in coconut milk. 1.Which dish is made of beef? A. Murgh makhani. B. Kapitan. C. Kari ayam. D. Kare raise. 2.What do Thai and Malaysia curry dishes have in common? A. They contain coconut milk. B. They use only Chinese techniques. C. They stress the importance of colors. D. They are cooked with Malaysian ingredients. 3.Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A street poster. B. A food magazine. C. A book review. D. A research paper. Passage 2 （24-25高三上·辽宁普通高中-11月·期中）Headington Oxford Headington Oxford Summer School is located in the beautiful city of Oxford, just a short walk from the centre.

When the novel opens, Klara, one of the AFs in a robot store, believes that her mission is to make her eventual owner happy. So she has to find out everything she can about human beings. However, she often feels confused about human beings. At one point, she and another AF, Rosa, see two taxi drivers getting into a fight. “I tried to imagine me and Rosa getting so angry with each other,” Klara says. “But I couldn’t.” There are other kinds of emotions Klara can’t understand. For example, she once saw two long-lost friends hug on the sidewalk. “They seemed happy,” she notes. “But it’s strange because they also seemed upset.” Little by little, Klara learns that people can feel more than one emotion at a time, even contradictory emotions. They sometimes say one thing but mean another. “Perhaps the most confusing thing was the complex strategies used by humans to escape loneliness,” Klara admits. Klara is eventually bought by Josie, who has had a deadly illness, and her mother (known as “the Mother”) who is dressed in high-rank office clothes. When Klara comes home with Josie, something odd starts to happen: The Mother keeps testing Klara to see if she can copy Josie’s movements, speech patterns and emotions well enough. Again and again, Klara asks: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to have a self? And how much of that self can and should we give to others? Here comes the central question of the novel: Can a copy replace the original? In the end, Klara copies Josie so well that she can look, speak, and act like her, but she tells the Mother, “I believe there’s an unreachable part inside Josie, something that’s unique and won’t transfer (转录).” Far from Klara’s efforts to feel like humans, there’s a sense that many humans in the novel actually envy AFs. “It must be great not to miss things,” says the Mother to Klara. 1.What does Kazuo Ishiguro most probably imply about Klara? A. She does not have true feelings. B. She can be very helpful in daily life. C. She should be greatly improved. D. She should observe humans more closely. 2.Why did the Mother buy Klara? A. She had to find a faithful friend. B. She needed her to take care of Josie. C. She hoped to find the best teacher for Josie. D. She wanted to make a copy of her sick daughter. 3.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Klara and the Sun Explores the Meaning of Life B. Klara and the Sun Asks What It Means to Be Humans C. Klara and the Sun Explains the Complex Human Weakness D. Klara and the Sun Shows Humans Will Be Replaced by Robots 4.Where is this text most likely from? A. A biography. B. A science report. C. A book review. D. A children’s story. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇书评。小女孩Josie得了绝症。她妈妈希望用机器人Klara来复制她的全部，包括情感。但是，Klara很快发现人类的情感是不可复制的。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, she often feels confused about human beings.(然而，她经常对人类感到困惑)”、第三段“There are other kinds of emotions Klara can’t understand.( Klara无法理解的情绪还有很多)”及第四段““Perhaps the most confusing thing was the complex strategies used by humans to escape loneliness,” Klara admits. (也许最令人困惑的事情是人类用来逃避孤独的复杂策略，” Klara承认)”可推断，这本小说的作者暗示机器人Klara根本就不会有真正的情感，所以无法与人类产生共情。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段“Klara is eventually bought by Josie, who has had a deadly illness, and her mother (known as “the Mother”) who is dressed in high-rank office clothes. When Klara comes home with Josie, something odd starts to happen: The Mother keeps testing Klara to see if she can copy Josie’s movements, speech patterns and emotions well enough.( Klara最终被患有致命疾病的Josie和她穿着高级办公室服装的母亲（被称为“母亲”）买下。当Klara带着Josie回家时，奇怪的事情开始发生了：母亲一直在测试Klara，看她是否能模仿Josie的动作、语言模式和情绪。)”及最后一段““It must be great not to miss things,” says the Mother to Klara.(“不错过任何东西一定很棒，”母亲对Klara说)”可知，那位母亲是为了给身患绝症的女儿留一个数字替身，以寄哀思。故选D。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第六段“Here comes the central question of the novel: Can a copy replace the original?(这就引出了这部小说的核心问题：复制品能取代真人吗？)”可知，本文的主题是探讨人类情感是否能被复制。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是第一段“Kazuo Ishiguro’s eighth novel, Klara and the Sun, is filled with Artificial Friends (AFs) or human-like robots.( Kazuo Ishiguro的第八部小说《克拉拉与太阳》充满了人工朋友（AFs）或类人机器人)”以及全文主要内容：文章主要围绕Kazuo Ishiguro的第八部小说《克拉拉与太阳》展开，介绍了小说中的情节、人物以及主题，如人工朋友（AFs）或类人机器人、克拉拉对人类情感的理解、她与乔西及其母亲的关系，以及小说探讨的核心问题——复制品能否取代原版等。这些内容都是书评中常见的元素，旨在对小说进行分析和评价。可推断，本文选自书评。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （24-25高三上·辽宁点石联考·期中）The best museums in Washington, D.

The catch-all umbrella term refers to a “spiced meat, fish or vegetable stew, either freshly prepared as a powder or spice paste or purchased as a ready-made mixture. If you’re a curry lover, follow your desires around the world by heading to these destinations. India It’s impossible to sum up India’s various “curries” in a few lines. But if there’s one dish that can be found on menus across the country, it’d be murgh makhani — better known around the world as butter chicken. This famous dish stars chicken soaked in yogurt, then covered with a rich creamy sauce of tomatoes, onions and spices. Thailand Often made with coconut milk, Thai curry dishes vary across the country. Generally speaking, you’ll see drier varieties up north and wetter variations in central Thailand and down south, where coconut milk is more common. Thai curries come in a stoplight of colors — red, yellow and green — and strive to strike a balance between sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Japan Typically mild and thick, Japanese curry, kare raise, is eaten across the country. Usually cooked with pre-made mixes, Japan’s thick and soft variation usually features pieces of stewed beef, onions and carrots over a bed of rice. Malaysia Nyonya cuisine — dishes created by the Straits Chinese community — plays an important role in Malaysia’ s cooking melting pot. One of the best known Nyonya curries is kari ayam (bone-in chicken curry) which features a mix of Chinese techniques and Malaysian ingredients. Another dish that deserves mentioning is kapitan, which sees pieces of chicken fried in curry paste, and then cooked at a low heat in coconut milk. 1.Which dish is made of beef? A. Murgh makhani. B. Kapitan. C. Kari ayam. D. Kare raise. 2.What do Thai and Malaysia curry dishes have in common? A. They contain coconut milk. B. They use only Chinese techniques. C. They stress the importance of colors. D. They are cooked with Malaysian ingredients. 3.Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A street poster. B. A food magazine. C. A book review. D. A research paper. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇应用文，文章主要为咖喱爱好者推荐了几个旅游目的地，介绍了这几个地方不同的咖喱菜肴及其特点。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据“Japan”部分中“Typically mild and thick, Japanese curry, kare raise, is eaten across the country.
