Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish Summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and the culture of Costa Rica.
Features include:
*Intensive（强化的）daily Spanish classes
*Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music and handiwork
*Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining（高空滑索）
*Homestay with a local Costa Rican family
*Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods
Our Teaching Methods:
We are proud to use TPRS——Total Physical Response Storytelling——in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly.
Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.
51. Which of the statements about the program is true
A. It offers weekly Spanish classes.
B. It focuses more on outdoor activities.
C. It gives teachers a chance to receive training.
D. It provides activities about the Spanish culture.
52. What’s not typical of the Teen Summer Spanish Program
A. Students participate in voluntary work on campus.
B. Students stay with a local family.
C. There are Spanish classes provided every day.
D. Students attend classes in art and music.
53. What do you know about TPRS
A. It aims to increase fluency without teaching vocabulary.
B. It applies amusing stories to teaching Spanish.
C. It involves no repetition in the process.
D. It guarantees the students’ writing fun stories.
54. What is the best way to learn a language according to author
A. Memorizing a larger vocabulary.
B. Mastering grammar structures clearly.
C. Communicating more in the new language.
D. Writing stories to share with others.
55. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To employ certified Spanish teachers.
B. To attract teen foreigners to a program.

Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to Kidsandcars Organization, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.
For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from McKinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry drew up a sketch（草图）of a device he called “Oasis.”
The device would be attached to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the car seat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.
Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer.
In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. They have raised more than twice that—over $46,000.
“I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” the father said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”
56. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis
A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.
B. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.
C. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.
D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.
57. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child
A. It would get the window open to save the child.
B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.
C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.
D. It would inform the parents or even the police.
58. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention
A. It used some of the most advanced technology.
B. It could accelerate production of new technology.
C. It simply combined technologies that existed.
D. It is the most advanced among similar products.
59. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money
A. To get the patent and bring it to production.
B. To get other children devoted to inventions.
C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.
D. To conduct experiments to test the invention.
60. Which of the following best describes Bishop Curry
A. Sympathetic and faithful.
B. Action-oriented and amusing.
C. Talented and generous.
D. Innovative and productive
C
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work——The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help, Taylor told Dezeen. ——Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides eliminating the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection. Taylor told Dezeen. ——If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.
61. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
D. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
62. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How the project was started.
B. How the sea grass was restored.
C. Why the surroundings were improved.
D. What recovery effort the project made.
63. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4
A. recycling B. removing C. abolishing D. assessing
64. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph
A. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
D People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature
65. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.
B. The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.
C. The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.
D. The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.
D
To show empathy is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.
If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy, you will not understand its power. Reading about a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.
Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings ——the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example, ——is the one who is most able to empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate” to other people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many feelings of their own.
Once you have felt discriminated against, for example, it is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the “reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival.
For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from them or try to numb ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.
Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling ——to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional awareness and sensitivity ——in other words, to be “in touch with” your feelings.
66. How does the author explain the feelings of empathy
A. By giving examples. B. By having classification.
C. By making comparison. D. By providing data.
67. Which of the statements may the author agree with
A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings.
B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is.
C. One can still understand a certain feeling easily without experiencing it.
D. Rich experiences of emotions may go with a high level of empathy.
68. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Being discriminated contributes to failing to relate with others.
B. Recalling the past emotion helps to deal with similar feelings.
C. One who experiences more is likely to show empathy.
D. Inner ability pushes nature to evolve to a higher level.
69. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs of the passage
A. To recommend a positive attitude to our experiences.
B. To suggest a right understanding of empathy.
C. To advocate sensing and recognizing our emotions.
D. To call for true acceptance of our feelings.
70. What is the passage mainly about
A. How Empathy Unfolds. B. Be Open to Your Emotions.
C. Why Empathy is Important. D. Accept Your True Self.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible illness in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she finally became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head---to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to join our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally made it. The team practice, however, was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly survive her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to pull her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit ready to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to give up and insisted she go.
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t miss a single practice. She had a firm intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this determined human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of frustration of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a winner---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t anticipate any award but was still there to cheer on her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach announcing, “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has stimulated us with her will and enthusiasm. Although skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset（财富）one can hold is the heart.”
It was the greatest moment of my daughter’s life. With all she had been through in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph（成功）.
71. Why did Cathy want to join the local swim team last summer （No more than 10 words）
72. What did the author intend to tell us in the fourth paragraph （No more than 15 words）

Dear sir,
I’m glad to read the advertisement for volunteers in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. I’m writing to apply for it.
The 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing, which has demonstrated China’s confidence and capability in organizing great sports events. When it comes to volunteer work, I think it’s beneficial to both society and individuals. It can spread kindness among people and promote social harmony. In the meanwhile, we can increase our abilities and acquire life skills.
With an open and active personality, I’m good at fitting in with people. I can also communicate in English with great fluency, which guarantees my communication with English-speakers without language barrier. Having engaged in many volunteer activities in the community, I have the right qualification for the job.
I’m really anxious to be accepted as a volunteer in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Looking forward to your reply! (132w)
