Test A阅读理解
I never understood my father's obsession
with his old vegetable garden until the summer I
turned sixteen.To me,it was just a patch of dirt
where he spent countless hours under the sun,
his hands stained with soil.I was too busy with
my friends and my phone to care about the slow
growth of tomatoes or the stubborn weeds.
That summer,a severe heatwave struck
our town.Day after day,the sun beat down
mercilessly.My father looked increasingly worried,
watering the garden early in the morning and
late at night.One evening,after a particularly
scorching day,he asked me for help.Reluctantly,I
agreed.
As I watered the thirsty plants,my father
pointed out the different vegetables:the deep
purple eggplants,the vibrant green peppers,
and the fragile lettuce leaves.He explained how
each plant had its own needs,its own rhythm.I
found myself listening,my initial annoyance
fading.There was a quiet wisdom in his words,
a deep connection to the land that I had never
noticed before.The garden wasn't just a hobby;
it was his sanctuary,a place of patience and
nurture.
The heatwave finally broke with a night of
gentle rain.The next morning,the garden
looked refreshed and resilient.My father picked
a sun-ripened tomato and handed it to me.It was
warm from the sun.I bit into it,and the flavor
was a revelation-sweet,tangy,and alive,nothing
like the bland tomatoes from the supermarket.
At that moment,I tasted not just the fruit,but
the care,the time,and the love that had gone
into growing it.It was a simple truth,but one I
had been blind to:some of the most valuable
things in life cannot be bought;they must be
grown with patience and dedication.

In today's fast-paced society,the importance
of time management is undeniable.Everyone
strives to learn and work more efficiently within
the limited time they have.1 Here're some
tips
When you're busy,every moment in the
day is precious.2 When you're taking the
bus or you're waiting for a lecture,you can get
something done.Do some research for an important
project and pin some online resources.Read part of
the study material you need to cover for the tests.
Make to-do lists every single day!Write a
monthly plan and include all tests,papers and
courses you need to cover.Then,translate that
plan into weekly goals and create daily to-do

lists that help you achieve them.3
Start
with the most important one.Use different
colors to indicate the importance of the tasks on
your list and act accordingly.If you have to
postpone some of the tasks,you'll be relieved
you're doing that with the less important ones.
If you find yourself struggling with the
amount of work you have,talk to your professors
immediately.American professors have office
hours when students can come to ask questions
and get help.They want you to succeed,so ask
for help!There are also many campus resources
that you can use,such as tutors and the writing
center.4
Learn how to say no.You always enjoy
hanging out with your friends,but sometimes
that's not possible.5 It's okay to say no.
You have your life in front of you;you can still
hang out with them.At this moment,it's
important to do what's right.
A.Have your tablet with you at all times.
B.Have too many tasks on your to-do list?
C.Never hesitate to get help when needed.
D.But how can this be achieved in
universities?
E.But why should we care about efficiency
at all?
F.Maybe you have a paper to write or you'
re simply too tired.
G.With your own effort,you will find tasks
are easier to finish.

Test E写作
Math had never been something I was good
at since middle school.Classes became harder in
high school,and I was even further from a math
teacher's dream student.So at the start of my
freshman year,I had a dislike for math.It wasn'
t that I didn't want to do well,but simply that I
didn't think I was able to do well.“Ican't”
became my state of mind in all things related to
math.
However,I was soon to learn that "I can't"
was not a choice in Mr.A's class.
Mr.A always greeted us with open arms as
he said,"Welcome!Smile!It's a great day to be
alive!”It was clear that Mr.A had a true
passion not only for math but for teaching.If
Mr.A ever experienced bad days in life,he never
showed it.Mr.A greeted us with that same
smile every day.He encouraged each student,
from the top achiever to the“Ican't”student.
I found myself looking forward to math
class.Being in Mr.A's presence made me feel
good,as if I had the chance to succeed,although
I still hated the subject itself.From then on,I
spent countless hours studying,but with so
many difficulties problems to work out,I was
overwhelmed.The pressure of the subject was
weighing heavily on my shoulders.I had always
been a hardworking and dedicated student,but
the stress seemed unbearable.No matter how
much effort I put into math,I couldn't seem to
keep up.As the mid-term exams approached,I
felt a sense of dread.The fear of failure
consumed me,and I began to doubt myself
again.
One day after school,I found myself
walking alongside Mr.A on the empty playground.
He could tell that something was bothering me,
and he asked if everything was alright.I hesitated
for a moment,unsure of whether to share my
struggles.

In 2013,halfway through her forensic
jewelry doctoral studies,Maria Maclennan helped
identify Namibia plane crash victims in a hospital,
applying her jewelry knowledge to examine relics
and offer leads for investigators.
"Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job
that actually exists,"Dr.Maclennan,35,said
during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh.
"In some ways,it's something I've made up
and am still making up as I go.Since then she
has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes,
including building collapses,natural disasters
and a terrorist attack.And while the situations
can be miserable-sometimes,she said,the
jewelry was all but fused(熔合)into human
remains-she has approached the job as a
professional:"You're wearing your forensic
gloves and it's all very methodical and detached
(不带感情的)from the person,the human
being.”
But there is a part of the process that she
finds emotionally difficult."It's at the end,the
returning,when you give the belongings back to
the family,which really strikes me,"she said
You look at the piece as a sort of a
representation of the individual.Especially,I
think,in the absence of the human body.
