A
As an alternative to online colleges, these online learning platforms tend to be a little more flexible and
may even offer more specific or unusual classes you can’t find at a traditional college, but it’s important that
you compare your options to find what’s best for you.
Udacity
The programs of the platform mainly refer to web development, programming, cloud computing and data
science. Even program includes hands-on practice, real-world applications and examples, individual code（代
码）reviews, and real instructors and career coaches who can address your individual needs. It’s about $399
monthly, or roughly $597 if you buy the full four months at home.
MasterClass
Although MasterClass offers more than just creative courses, its well-chosen offerings are the ones that
put A-list actors, writers, artists, musicians, and more in the teacher’s seat. More courses have around 20
lessons. It’s courses are video-based, with practical advice and demonstrations（示范）mixed in with
straightforward lectures, workbooks and class discussions. The price is about $15 per month for unlimited
access, but you have to sign up for one year at a time.
EdX
Real college courses, created and taught by real college instructors, are available in a variety of fields and
topics. The big selling point for EdX is that the majority of their courses are free—but there’s a catch. If
you’re just taking the class for your own learning experience, the free version will probably work, but if you
want to have formal verification（认证）for professional reasons, the “verified certificate” option costs about
$49 per class.
Pluralsight
Designed with working professionals in mind, Pluralsight offers courses in subjects like software
development, data science, information security and more. Regardless of how many classes you want to take,
the price is about $30 per month for a personal plan (you can enjoy a 10% discount for a complete year).
21. What do the programs on Udacity focus on
A. Sports training. B. Real interviews.
C. Art appreciation. D. Computer skills.
22. On which platform can you possibly take most courses for free
A. Udacity B. MasterClass C. EdX D. Pluralsight
23. How much should you pay for a one-year learning plan on Pluralsight
A. About 270 dollars. B. About 324 dollars.
C. About 360 dollars. D. About 384 dollars.

impression on a lot of people.
Holding the bat in his mouth, the para—table tennis champion attracts the audience by throwing the ball
up high with his right foot. Sinking through the air, the little white ball meets his bat and comes out like a

world—famous athletes like Ma Long. Later Hamadtou took part in the 2016 Rio Paralympics.
“It was quite difficult playing table tennis after the accident,” Hamadtou recalled. “I had to practice hard
for three years on a daily basis. In the beginning, people was amazed and surprised seeing me playing. Then
they encouraged and supported me a lot.”

In Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the
help of coffee growers.
The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands
of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow (打击) to its ecosystem
(生态系统). To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking
them with processors from around the country.
Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other countries except neighboring Brazil. In
2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia
ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation (毁林) coming
along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed
compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about
$ 77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000
hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to
expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125
kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee
plantation makes a barrier (屏障) between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and
第 4页 共 8 页
hunt. In this way, he doesn’t have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.
Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he
feels that growing coffee lets him be a steward of the land. “I’m taking care of the environment, the forest and
the animals,” he said.
28. Why does WebConserva set up the project
A. To explore the San Lucas area.
B. To expand areas of coffee growing.
C. To link processors with coffee growers.
D. To conserve ecosystem in the San Lucas area.
29. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over
A. Colombia helped many needy families.
B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.
C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.
D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.
30. Which is probably a function of Barajas’s coffee plantation
A. Amethod of protecting cattle and wildlife.
B. A place for hunting of wild animals.
C. A barrier between man and wild animals.
D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.
31. What does the underlined word “steward” mean in the last paragraph
A. Farmer. B. Master. C. Protector. D. Explorer.
D
Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life
satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego
State University (SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell
at the University of Georgia, handled data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally
representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students
questions about how often they spent time on their phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about
their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average, the researchers found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing
computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested
(投入 ) more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face
social interactions.
“The key to digital media (数字媒体) use and happiness is limited use,” Twenge said. “Aim to spend no
more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends
face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.”
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it’s easy to find that the increase
of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U. S.
teens. Specifically, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That’s the year
when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change
in teens’ lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and
the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.
32. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study
A. Predicting student’ happiness.
第 5页 共 8 页
B. Asking students certain questions.
C. Dealing with data from a survey.
D. Doing experiments on screen time.
33. What massage do the researchers seem to convey for teens according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Combining online activities and offline activities.
B. Spending all the time on non-screen activities only.
C. Being addicted to activities like video chatting.
D. Investing more time in digital media use.
34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To introduce a new view about the topic.
B. To offer some advice to the readers.
C. To prove social activities’ importance.
D. To support the researchers’ finding.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Enjoying Phones Equals Happiness
B. Screen Time Should Be Banned
C. Teens’ Lives Have Changed Sharply
D. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier

Due to the pandemic, many top US universities have introduced test-optional policies after standard tests
such as GMAT, ACT and SAT were canceled. 36 It’s your non-standardized performance, or “soft
power’’, that matters when applying for US universities. Here are some tips to make you more competitive.
1. Put in academic effort
37 Writing a paper or attending academic seminars (研讨会) could demonstrate (证明) not
only your interest or expertise in your chosen area, but also your experiences, which will help match you to
the relevant programs.
2. 38
Internships (实习) help you gain practical experience and acquire knowledge that you couldn’t learn in
class. Describe your internship in your essay or personal statement to convince the admissions officers of your
interest and enthusiasm for a specific field.
3. Perform volunteer activities
Volunteer work shows your kindness and consideration for the greater community. Describe your
experiences in an essay or personal statement to present your sense of leadership, creativity and vision (视野).
39 So spare some time to volunteer in programs such as assisting the elderly in senior care facilities
or helping stray (流浪的) animals.
All in all, social practice shows your talent and potential. Keep your target major in mind when
researching or selecting an internship or volunteer organization. 40
A. Gain work experience
B. Improve leadership ability
C. Your test results will decide your future completely.
D. Research topics related to your chosen major.
E. But these examination results don’t show your overall abilities.

move 63 (quick). He shouted to the poachers to put down their guns. Although 64

Dear Mike,
Having heard from your latest letter, I'm glad to know that you will be an exchange student in China next semester. In order to get on well with new classmates, you asked me about the skills of interpersonal communication. As your friend, I have some tips for you.
On the one hand, I think you should communicate with your classmates as much as possible even though it’s difficult for you to understand them. In addition, I strongly suggest you take an active part in some after-class activities with your classmates. It will be a good chance to help you learn more about each other too. Then you may become friends.
On the other hand, keep it in mind that try to avoid involving religion, politics and other sensitive topics when you start a small talk. Furthermore, you’d better be a good listener and show respect for your classmates. Don’t interrupt others when they are talking.
Wish you to get used to your new school life quickly and get along well with your new classmates. Looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua
