Here are some apps you may find useful.
Mirror
It is like having a personal trainer in your home with you. The super smart screen is designed to look like a full-length mirror. It offers more than 20 types of workouts with classes ranging from 15 to 60 minutes and beginner to expert levels. Mirror requires special equipment that is separate from the price of a membership.
Peloton
Even those who don’t like exercise know what Peloton is. Workouts available on the Peloton app go far past biking. But with so many Peloton die-hard fans praising the app as one of the best cardio (有氧运动) workouts out there，the cycling aspect deserves a spotlight. Peloton is community-based and offers the chance to bike with other members. Classes are fun to follow along, led by famous instructors.
Fitbod
It builds custom workouts based on your strength-training ability, past workouts, and available gym equipment. Each day you get a personalized fitness plan to help you get stronger. It is its advantage that attracts many die-hard fans. Fitbod workouts focus on all your muscle groups in the classes. Fitbod is free to try, but if you want to unlock the unlimited workouts, you have to pay.
Tonal
It is designed for people who like the range of machines at the gym, but don’t like sharing them. It brings the whole gym set-up home, but it’s not cheap. Accessories (配件) like handles and a bench are sold separately.

17-year-old Tibetan girl Cigla is a freshman at Nagqu No. 2 Senior High School in Lhasa, which sits 3,650 meters above sea level. She now plays point guard for the school’s 12-member female basketball team.
“Practice makes perfect. You get used to the elevation (海拔) when you love the sport and train hard enough,” said the potential basketball star, who has been passionate about the sport since taking it up three years ago. Cigla wears wristbands when playing her favorite sport. With her outstanding speed, agility (灵活) and accurate passes, she never fails to shine on the basketball court, even when she faces off against the boys. Though she is a freshman in high school, Cigla already has a clear picture of her future-entering a sports college to study basketball. In the eyes of Cigla, who comes from a poor herder’s family in northern Tibet’s Nagqu City, studying in Lhasa, the region’s most developed city, has made it much easier for her to realize her basketball dream.
With an average altitude (高度) of over 4,500 meters, Nagqu is among the most uninhabitable places in Tibet, known as the “roof of the world”. Low-oxygen environments and extreme weather have long influenced the health of Nagqu students, hampering the development of primary education in the area.
Like Cigla, many students at the school are from poor farmers’ and herders’ families. Dawa Droma, a senior student also on the school’s female basketball team, said her passion for the sport started from her first basketball game in her freshman year.
“I had never touched a basketball before that game but joined the class team anyway. When I scored and heard my classmates cheer for me, I couldn’t feel more proud. That’s how I fell in love with basketball and never looked back,” she recalled. Reflecting on the influence of basketball on her life, Dawa Droma said the sport has helped her get fit and build up confidence over the years. “Meeting players from different schools has certainly made me a more outgoing person,” she said.
24. Which of the following words can best describe Cigla’s feeling about basketball
A. Bored. B. Enthusiastic. C. Confused. D. Confident.
25. What may help Cigla realize her basketball dream greatly
A. Her family background. B. Her parents’ support.
C. Her plans. D. Her school’s location.
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hampering” in paragraph 3
A. Improving. B. Forbidding. C. Preventing. D. Leading.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Dawa Droma is influenced by basketball greatly.
B. Dawa Droma seldom feels proud when playing basketball.
C. Playing basketball increases Dawa Droma’s sense of touch.
D. Meeting players from different schools makes Dawa Droma upset.
C
Around 200 B. C., Aristophanes, an ancient Greek librarian, developed a system of marks to break up text to make it easier to read. Before this, words were often written in one long sentence without spaces between the words. Today in many languages—including English—there is a set of rules on how to use full stops, commas and other text marks. However, some believe this is changing. Dr Robert Frost, who studies language, says people no longer use full stops and other punctuation (标点符号) symbols because they feel their messages are clear enough without them. So, is punctuation helpful or just troublesome
Yes — punctuation is important
Punctuation is needed in order to make the meaning of written words clear. If a parent messaged to say, “It’s time to eat, children”, this is different from “It’s time to eat children”. The second sentence would probably make you want to run in the opposite direction because it sounds as though children were on the menu. The author Jonathan Pierce argues that punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change the rhythm of a sentence. It allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored, Pierce claims. “Otherwise, the words run into each other and lose their impact.” Besides, learning the different ways punctuation marks can be used is fun. It can add a lot to the style of writing and make it clearer.
No — we don’t need it
Punctuation. Even, if a sentence is badly punctuated. Like this one: It can still be, understood. This short piece of text shows that it is the words that are an important part of the sentence, not the symbols between them. Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, “It is the order in which the words appear that conveys the meaning, not the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people are clever enough to work out what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not use punctuation and yet we can still understand each other.” Also, punctuation can be confusing — there are lots of complex rules to observe, and if it is used incorrectly it can cause more problems than if there were none. Punctuation simply isn’t needed.
28. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To discuss alternatively viewpoints.
B. To support one argument over another.
C. To evaluated the strength of competing ideas.
D. To outline historical development of language.
29. Who believes punctuation is necessary
A. Robert Frost and Kelly Jones. B. Aristophanes and Robert Frost.
C. Jonathan Pierce and Kelly Jones. D. Aristophanes and Jonathan Pierce.
30. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part is used as __________.
A. a definition B. a fact C. an example D. an error
31. Which of the following can be a strong argument against Kelly Jones’s opinion
A. Punctuation adds to the effect and richness of a language.
B. Without punctuation, people would be breathless when speaking.
C. Pauses and tones in speech serve similar functions to punctuation.
D. The choice and order of words are important in conveying meaning.
D
We love books, and our friends at UNESCO agree. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proposed World Book Day as a day of celebrating the joy of reading for enjoyment.
Children who regularly read for enjoyment have higher test scores, develop a broader vocabulary, increase general knowledge and gain a better understanding of other cultures than their non- reading counterparts. Whether you read traditional paper books or turn to your Kindle, reading’s a passport to many other worlds.
The enjoyment of reading books is celebrated on World Book Day on April 23. It’s a day to celebrate the privilege (荣幸) of being able to read, so head to the library or curl up on the couch and just be a bookworm!
Reading is a form of entertainment and it requires that you use your imagination rather than simply watching visuals on a screen. There is also something so therapeutic (治疗的) about the actual feel of a book, with its scent of printed pages and glossy (光滑的) covers. Books are a valuable aspect of society but this wasn’t always the case.
When vocabulary and writing were developed thousands of years ago, clay tablets were used. The first form of a book was achieved by the Chinese in the 3rd century, although their books consisted of thick pages, made out of bamboo, which were stitched (缝合) together. By the mid-15th century, the printing press revolutionized books to make them become what they are today and readily accessible (易接近的) to everyone. Thanks to this invention, we are able to enjoy the works of countless authors and poets.
World Book Day was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization on April 23, 1995. This date is chosen because it is the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and Spanish chronicler (年代记编者) Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. Around the world, there are many other dates on which World Book Day takes place. The UK, Sweden, and Ireland all celebrate World Book Day on different dates.
32.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A. Different ways of reading. B. Benefits of reading.
C. The importance of education. D. The necessity of broadening vocabulary.
33.Which of the following matters a lot when you’re reading
A. Memory. B. Taking notes. C. Imagination. D. Watching screens.
34.In which place did the first form of a book appear
A. China. B. The UK. C. Sweden. D. Ireland.
35. What can we know about World Book Day
A. It was set thousands of years ago.
B. It is related to some famous writers.
C. It was established by a well-known poet.
D. It takes place on the same day around the globe.

Protecting Your Eyesight
Nowadays most people have bad eyesight. Don’t take your eyes for granted. Here are some tips on protecting your eyesight.
Eat for good vision.
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin E may help avoid vision problems. 36 You can choose green vegetables, eggs, beans and other non-meat protein sources.
Wear sunglasses for good vision.
37 Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. If you wear contact lenses, choose the ones that offer UV protection. It’s still a good idea to wear sunglasses for more protection.
Quit smoking.
Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration (黄斑退化). If you have tried to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep trying. The more times you try to quit smoking, the more likely you are to succeed.
38
Staring at a computer screen can cause so many problems: dry eyes, headaches and neck, back and shoulder pain. To protect your eyes, you can position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen. Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed. Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 39
Visit your eye doctor regularly.
Everyone, even young children, should get their eyes examined regularly. 40
They can also find some eye diseases, such as glaucoma (青光眼). The earlier diseases are found, the easier they are to be treated.

Like many other students, you may have various people, 56 (include) family members and friends, giving input on your college decision.

Moreover, fully consider each option.
