If you’re interested in pushing yourself academically while experiencing college life, our Summer Programs for Pre-College students (SPP) can be ideal for you. In the programs, you will be able to make friends with fellow students, engage in social activities around the city and on campus, and experience pre-college summer study at one of the world’s top teaching and research universities.
Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning.
Academic life
SPP invites you to join other highly motivated teens from 87 countries in our summer programs for high school students—and take the leap into college life and academics, which enables you to take on new academic challenges, explore a variety of interests and consider possible majors. You can take college courses alongside undergraduates either on campus or online. And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project. Or, you can immerse yourself in a variety of stimulating noncredit seminars that blend lectures with experiential learning, discussions,and projects.
Campus/Residence life
Embracing college life is an exciting experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll get to know the ins and outs of college and city life. If you live on campus, you will stay in the residence hall, sharing a room and participating in dorm activities. There are typically two students per room and safety is our highest priority: residence halls have live-in university staff and 24-hour security. Resident program assistants provide guidance, coordinate and lead social activities, ranging from group activities that include comedy shows to field trips.
Your hard work will be combined with social events and fun activities—and you’ll still have time for your own adventures on campus! Email the SPP office at sppoffice@mail.edu.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college.(我们长期的夏季学期大学预科课程包括一、二、三和六周的课程,为你在大学取得成功做好准备。)”可知,SPP的目标是让高中生为大学生活做好充分准备。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Academic life部分“And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project.( 你还可以通过与个人导师或作为小组项目的一部分进行深入的STEM研究,获得最多8个大学学分。)”可知,学生应该通过进行STEM研究来获得所需的学分。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Campus/Residence life部分的“There are typically two students per room and safety is our highest priority: residence halls have live-in university staff and 24-hour security.(每个房间通常住两名学生,安全是我们的首要任务:宿舍有住校工作人员和24小时保安。)”可知,住在校园里的学生有很好的安全保障。故选C。
B
They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .
A. show how secure his passwords were
B. challenge the intelligence of scientists
C. prove the uselessness of his passwords
D. promote a more scientific password system
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.

If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers told the same secret of their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens: “If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”
Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—compared with on a treadmill (跑步机)—produces the highest-quality ideas.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered (触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone—feeds creative thinking.
The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you’re more likely to be lifeless, which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a river.
8. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By giving a definition. B. By using quotations.
C. By providing the background. D. By presenting examples.
9. The underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph 4 means something________.
A. causing a change B. stopping progress
C. catching eyes D. discouraging creativity
10 Which of the following does the author agree with
A. Nature exploration improves fitness.
B. Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.
C. Working indoors makes people less creative.
D. Familiar surroundings encourage creative ideas.
11. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Exercise in Nature B. Train Your Brain
C. Walk for Wonder D. Develop Your Creativity
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了走路对于创造力的激发与思维的发散所具有的重大意义。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens: “If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”(尼采写道:只有从行走中获得的想法才有价值。托马斯:散步是最好的锻炼方式。狄更斯:如果我不能走得又远又快,我想我就会爆炸然后死去)”推知,作者通过引用名人名言介绍主题。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you’re more likely to be lifeless, which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.(只要走出去,你就走出了你熟悉的环境和你的舒适区,如果你想打开你的头脑,接受新的可能性,这是必要的。你可以走过一个绿树成荫的街区。你可以走过公园,看到人们开玩笑或鸟儿歌唱。身处其中,你更有可能毫无生气,也就是说你没有足够的精力去探索和创造)”可知,讲到了散步带来的好处,所以划线词所在句的含义为“散步对于你获得对新问题的新认识是有好处的、有促进作用”,由此可知划线词意为“带来改变的东西”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Being inside, you’re more likely to be lifeless, which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.(身处室内,你更有可能毫无生气,也就是说你没有足够的精力去探索和创造)”可知,当你身处室内时,会使你没有精力去探索和创造。即在室内工作会降低人们的创造力。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段中“Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens: “If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”(尼采写道:只有从行走中获得的想法才有价值。托马斯:散步是最好的锻炼方式。狄更斯:如果我不能走得又远又快,我想我就会爆炸然后死去)”可知,本文主要讲述了散步对于创造力的激发与思维发散的好处,即散步可以带来奇迹。C项“Walk for Wonder(散步寻找奇迹)”为最佳标题。故选C。
D
Since we are vulnerable (脆弱的) when we sleep, sleep must play a critical role, or evolution wouldn’t have selected for it. Early humans had to hunt, gather food and protect themselves. Those activities consumed much time, so unless sleep served very important purposes, those who slept less would have an advantage. Yet sleeping for long hours of the night was kept for years, but scientists had only general ideas about what happened during sleep. Recently, Dr. Chiara Chiarelli, a neuroscientist, shared what sleep neuroscience research has discovered.
Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells. During waking hours, new learning can strengthen the connections. You can think of knowledge acquired over a long time as a group of well-connected neural paths. When you learn something new, new paths are connected to the old. During the waking hours, your brain processes massive amounts of new insignificant information, say remembering where you parked your car. But that memory has to be preserved at least until you reach the car. It establishes a new connection to your memory of what your car looks like, a well-established “old” memory. The brain creates so many connections daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.
Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic connections are weakened so that connections are more available for new learning the next day. Continuing with the parked car example, the exact location of the parked car is not needed again, so the connections are weakened. In fact, if it were not, you might memorize hundreds of places where you have parked, leading to considerable confusion!
You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that not sleeping well affects next day functioning — this is common cultural wisdom. Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example of science showing the “why” and “how” mechanisms that underlie that wisdom.
12. What does the example of early humans show
A. Sleep wasn’t as important as it is today.
B. Our ancestors had a hard time surviving.
C. Sleep is significant in the history of humans.
D. Whoever sleeps less enjoys more advantages.
13. What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 2
A. Our memory can be kept over a long period of time.
B. Our brain can be overloaded with synaptic connections.
C. Our brain’s neural network is connected through synapses.
D. Our new learning is based on well-established old memories
14. What has Dr. Cirelli’s research discovered
A. Sleep relieves synaptic burden. B. Sleep carries cultural wisdom.
C. Sleep broadens neural paths. D. Sleep stimulates brain development.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to Dr. Cirelli’s research
A. Doubtful B. Unclear
C. Dismissive (鄙视的) D. Approving
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍的是最近,神经科学家Chiara Chiarelli博士分享的睡眠神经科学研究方面的发现。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since we are vulnerable (脆弱的) when we sleep, sleep must play a critical role, or evolution wouldn’t have selected for it. Early humans had to hunt, gather food and protect themselves. Those activities consumed much time, so unless sleep served very important purposes, those who slept less would have an advantage.(因为我们在睡觉的时候是脆弱的,所以睡眠一定起着至关重要的作用,否则进化不会选择它。早期人类必须狩猎、采集食物并保护自己。这些活动消耗了大量时间,所以除非睡眠有非常重要的目的,否则睡眠较少的人会有优势。)”可知,早期人类的例子说明了睡眠在人类历史上占有重要地位。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells.(大脑中的神经网络是通过突触连接起来的,突触允许信号在大脑中流动并进入细胞。)”和“The brain creates so many connections daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.(大脑每天产生如此多的连接,以至于特定的电路可能会负担过重。)”可知,作者在第2段似乎传达的信息是我们的大脑会因为突触连接而超载。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic connections are weakened so that connections are more available for new learning the next day.(Dr. Cirelli解释说,在睡眠期间,大量的突触连接被削弱,以便第二天更容易获得新的学习信息。)”可知,Dr. Cirelli的研究发现睡眠减轻突触负担。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example of science showing the “why” and “how” mechanisms that underlie that wisdom.(Dr. Cirelli的研究是一个科学的例子,它展示了这种智慧背后的“为什么”和“如何”机制。)”可知,作者对Dr. Cirelli的研究的态度是赞许的,故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Just think positively!”
“It could be worse.”
“You should look at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic(有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests ____16____
“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services.Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” ____17____ It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.
Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.
Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. ____18____ “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” ____19____ “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.
____20____ If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help ”
A. Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity
B. Toxic positivity also disrupts connection.
C. It can harm people who are going through difficult times.
D. This can come up in different situations when we are dealing with pressure.
E. They become more intense and can cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.
F. Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.
G. This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,短文介绍了“有毒的积极性”的不良影响和应对措施。
【16题详解】
根据上文“How can positivity be toxic Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests ”(积极性怎么会有毒?它不应该像名字所暗示的那样有帮助,或者是“积极的”吗?)可知,选项承接上文说明专家对此的观点。故F选项“专家表示,持续的强迫积极可能会导致相反的结果,并产生负面影响。”切题。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.”( 《有毒的积极性》一书的作者惠特尼·古德曼将“有毒的积极性”描述为“无论环境如何,都要保持快乐和积极的无尽压力。)可知,选项承接上文近一步总结所带来的后果。故G选项“这就是我们不允许消极的想法和感觉给自己带来的后果”切题。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse.”(有毒的积极情绪会让我们压抑自己的情绪,这可能会让情绪变得更糟)选项承接上文说明有毒的积极情绪的不良影响。故E选项“它们变得更加强烈,并可能在未来引起长期的健康问题”切题。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据下文““If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.”(如果我觉得你要不理会我,我就会停止分享我的感受,”古德曼补充道。)可知,有毒的积极情绪会会破坏人际关系。故B选项“有毒的积极情绪会会破坏人际关系”切题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise.”(古德曼建议,如果你对自己使用了有毒的积极性,记住如果你对某件事感到不安也没关系。如果有什么事惹恼了你,那是有效的。她说:“让我们自己和其他人在经历困难的时候分享。” 古德曼补充道,随着生活压力的不断增加,“我们都必须学会以健康的方式应对和处理自己的情绪,而不是避免自己的感受”)可知,下文是对上文有办法避免有毒的积极性的回答。故A选项“有没有办法避免有毒的积极情绪?”切题。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了中国“六艺”的具体内容和意义。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:为了促进全面发展,中国古代的学生被要求学习所谓的“六艺”:礼、乐、射、御、书和数。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语,所以require作本句谓语,主语是students,两者是被动关系,用被动语态,根据in ancient China可知,用一般过去时。故填were required。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年),六艺在孔子之前就存在了,但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分,强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词existed,所以date应该用非谓语形式,它的逻辑主语是the Six Arts,两者是主动关系,应该用现在分词形式,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Dating。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年),六艺在孔子之前就存在了,但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分,强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的动词,应该用副词修饰。故填gradually。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:六艺可以追溯到周朝(公元前1046年-公元前256年),六艺在孔子之前就存在了,但后来逐渐成为儒家哲学的一部分,强调行为和价值观。分析句子结构可知,本句是which引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少谓语动词,所以stress作谓语,主语是which代指前句提到的事,为第三人称单数,描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时。故填stresses。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:古代的学生可以从学习礼乐中获得自尊。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定搭配:a sense of意为“……的感觉”。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:御是一种需要智慧和体力相结合的训练形式。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是form,在从句中作主语,因为先行词有the very修饰,只能用that引导。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过练习射和御,学生们不仅获得了战争技能,还学会了如何作为贵族。分析句子结构可知,空前是介词,所以空处应填名词,noble意为“贵族成员”,为可数名词,根据句意,用复数形式。故填nobles。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:书可以使人获得知识,变得谦虚,而数可以帮助他们更快地学习思考。分析句子结构可知,“enable people to acquire knowledge”和“become humble”是并列关系,应该用and连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“六艺”深深植根于儒家哲学,集道德教育、学术研究、体育教育和社会训练于一体。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定搭配:be rooted in意为“扎根于”,又本句已有谓语动词integrate,所以省略be动词。故填rooted。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:总之,六艺体系是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,展现出其独特的魅力。分析句子结构可知,represent和后文的displays一起作本句的并列谓语,所以represent应该也用三单形式。故填represents。

World Environment Day on Campus
June 5th, 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of World Environment Day, with this year’s theme “Beat Plastic Pollution”. In honor of this occasion, our school organized various activities to sensitize students about the urgent need to combat plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices.
The event started with an engaging presentation by environmental experts, who highlighted the detrimental impact of plastic and emphasized the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic. Then a plastic collection drive was held so as to encourage everyone to bring in their plastic waste for proper disposal. Additionally, students participated in a poster-making competition, creating thought-provoking artworks that showcased the importance of sustainable alternatives.
The response to these activities was overwhelming. It is through such collective efforts that we can hope to “Beat Plastic Pollution” and create a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations.

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me.
With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good, Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.”
With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better ” I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.
I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said, “What do you want ” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know my face. That’s all I’m asking.”
I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered,“Sure!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance. With boldness, I finished my performance relatively smoothly though palms were sweating. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that I was indeed assigned the intern job to act on a school life show and my first public appearance on TV was in five days. After sharing the thrilling news with my dad, I received the warmest congratulations and expectations from my family. Picturing my families eagerly waiting for my performance, I worked day and night as busy as a bee for fear that I would make a fool of myself live on TV.
Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching. Wearing fancy dress and delicate make up, I was so proud but nervous that my show would be watched by so many audience. My mind suddenly went blank as I was immersed in my thoughts and totally forgot my lines. Deep frowns gradually climbed on my partners' face, with whose sudden vigorous pull, I was driven back to the reality. I soon came up with a little trick to make up for the embarrassing blank. As the show went on, so concentrated was I that I hardly dared to even blink my eyes. After my debut, I rang my dad with frustration and disappointment, only to reap his trust and encouragement again. It was literally dad's love that supported me along my way to be an outstanding actor.

Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning.
Academic life
SPP invites you to join other highly motivated teens from 87 countries in our summer programs for high school students—and take the leap into college life and academics, which enables you to take on new academic challenges, explore a variety of interests and consider possible majors.

And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project.

Embracing college life is an exciting experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll get to know the ins and outs of college and city life. If you live on campus, you will stay in the residence hall, sharing a room and participating in dorm activities.

They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .
A. show how secure his passwords were
B. challenge the intelligence of scientists
C. prove the uselessness of his passwords
D. promote a more scientific password system
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
B. To recommend a password-remembering method.
C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.
7. What is the tone of the text
A Inspiring. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
C
If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers told the same secret of their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens: “If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”
Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—compared with on a treadmill (跑步机)—produces the highest-quality ideas.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered (触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone—feeds creative thinking.
The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you’re more likely to be lifeless, which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a river.

Since we are vulnerable (脆弱的) when we sleep, sleep must play a critical role, or evolution wouldn’t have selected for it. Early humans had to hunt, gather food and protect themselves. Those activities consumed much time, so unless sleep served very important purposes, those who slept less would have an advantage. Yet sleeping for long hours of the night was kept for years, but scientists had only general ideas about what happened during sleep. Recently, Dr. Chiara Chiarelli, a neuroscientist, shared what sleep neuroscience research has discovered.
Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells. During waking hours, new learning can strengthen the connections. You can think of knowledge acquired over a long time as a group of well-connected neural paths. When you learn something new, new paths are connected to the old. During the waking hours, your brain processes massive amounts of new insignificant information, say remembering where you parked your car. But that memory has to be preserved at least until you reach the car. It establishes a new connection to your memory of what your car looks like, a well-established “old” memory. The brain creates so many connections daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.
Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic connections are weakened so that connections are more available for new learning the next day. Continuing with the parked car example, the exact location of the parked car is not needed again, so the connections are weakened. In fact, if it were not, you might memorize hundreds of places where you have parked, leading to considerable confusion!
You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that not sleeping well affects next day functioning — this is common cultural wisdom. Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example of science showing the “why” and “how” mechanisms that underlie that wisdom.
12. What does the example of early humans show
A. Sleep wasn’t as important as it is today.
B. Our ancestors had a hard time surviving.
C. Sleep is significant in the history of humans.
D. Whoever sleeps less enjoys more advantages.
13. What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 2
A. Our memory can be kept over a long period of time.
B Our brain can be overloaded with synaptic connections.
C Our brain’s neural network is connected through synapses.
D. Our new learning is based on well-established old memories
14. What has Dr. Cirelli’s research discovered
A. Sleep relieves synaptic burden. B. Sleep carries cultural wisdom.
C. Sleep broadens neural paths. D. Sleep stimulates brain development.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to Dr. Cirelli’s research
A. Doubtful B. Unclear
C. Dismissive (鄙视的) D. Approving

“Just think positively!”
“It could be worse.”
“You should look at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic(有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests ____16____
“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services.Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” ____17____ It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.
Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.
Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. ____18____ “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” ____19____ “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.
____20____ If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help ”
A. Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity
B. Toxic positivity also disrupts connection.
C. It can harm people who are going through difficult times.
D. This can come up in different situations when we are dealing with pressure.
E. They become more intense and can cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.
F. Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.
G. This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me.
With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good, Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.”
With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better ” I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.
I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said, “What do you want ” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know my face. That’s all I’m asking.”
I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered,“Sure!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance.

Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching.
