No matter what you love, you’ll find that every One Day U event is filled with exploratory talks that will challenge you as if you were a student in college once again!

Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school. It must be wonderful to be a bird, she thought. Total freedom. No math class to sit in, and her days would be spent on horseback. She thought of her horse, Star.
“Madison. Could you please join us again ” Mrs. Smith said. “I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment.”
“Well, I didn’t have any problems doing it, but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it.” Some giggling spread through the room.
“Madison. I don’t know what I am going to do with you. You’re such a smart girl but you just don’t apply yourself. Class clear your desks. Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon. He is a veterinarian (兽医). He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program.”
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid. Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying. Then a word caught her attention. Horse. Was he talking about horses
Gradually, Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse, Star, needed care. She liked it that he even knew her horse’s name. “So, you just travel around and take care of horses all day long ”
Doctor Landon nodded. “I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county. It is a lot of work, but I love it.”
Madison’s mouth fell open. What a life that must be, she thought. At that moment, sitting in class, Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.

Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.''
Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either.
Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.''
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.
8. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental
A. Approving. B. Unfavorable.
C Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
9. The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .
A. rental services are on the rise
B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber
C. renting clothes might waste more than expected
D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion
10. The author suggests that we should .
A. give up renting any clothing
B. purchase inexpensive clothes
C. rent clothes rather than buy them
D. make full use of clothes we've possessed
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.
B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.
C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.
D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma.
D
VARK is a questionnaire that helps with your learning by suggesting the strategies you should be using. According to VARK, some people learn best by reading materials, while others are more visually-oriented (视觉导向的) and must see something to understand. Others might fall into the auditory learning subtype, meaning they tend to urderstand materials by listening to instructions. There are also kinesthetic (动觉的) learners, or those who learn best through hands-on activities.
Learning style theories had their popularity in the 1990s, when Beth Rogowsky was just starting as a middle school teacher. “At that time, when my students were given some learning material, if they disliked reading it, they could listen to it instead as long as they’d like to listen to others reading it; whatever they preferred, they would be encouraged to do it,” says Rogowsky, who is now an associate professor of teaching and learning at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania.
But when it comes to preferred learning styles, there’s a problem. The idea of using learning styles emerged in the 1980s as many researchers voiced their support, but few actually tested their concepts to confirm the validity in randomized, experimental settings. In the 2000s, when researchers started to do just that, they found little evidence that matching students to their supposed learning style helped them memorize information better.
Rogowsky herself has confirmed the belief that learning styles don’t hold up in her recent studies. In one study published in Frontiers in Psychology this year, Rogowsky and her colleagues tested fifth-graders with preferred auditory and visual learning styles. Students were given standardized reading tests, in both written and audio formats. The team didn’t uncover a relationship between their preferred learning styles and academic performance, according to Rogowsky.
The team’s study noted that a preference to learn material using a certain method could mask skill lack. “Someone who prefers to lean by listening instead of visual approaches might just have underdeveloped reading skills. Letting students learn in their preferred manner doesn’t push them to improve weaker skill sets,” Rogowsky says. “If you need to improve your skills, don’t just keep doing what’s easy to you.”
12. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To explain the complexity of the learning process.
B. To inspire people to actively engage in a questionnaire.
C. To show different people have different learning styles.
D. To suggest using VARK to choose efficient learning styles.
13 What did Beth Rogowsky use to do when she was a middle school teacher
A. Encourage students to learn creatively.
B. Allow students to use their preferred learning style.
C. Help students improve their reading and listening ability.
D. Provide varied reading materials for students to choose from.
14. What does the underlined word “validity” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Correctness. B. Faulty. C. Arrangement. D. Budget.
15. What can we learn from Beth Rogowsky’s words in the last paragraph
A. Students need to focus on their academic performance.
B. Students should stick to their favorite learning materials.
C. Students hiding skill lack can boost their confidence
D. Students should go beyond a certain preferred learning style.

【分析】这是一篇议论文。服装租赁业是一种新型的流行的产业，并通过克莱因的调查说明了服装租赁业存在的一些缺点，比如相比于直接购买衣服，租衣服在运输方面消耗了更多的碳能源；干洗租赁的衣服会给空气造成污染；还会导致人们急于追求快速时尚，而随意浪费。最后作者提出最好的方法是要穿已经在衣柜里的衣服。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.(记者兼作者Elizabeth Cline调查了这个问题，她总结服装租赁似乎没有看起来那么可持续)可推测，Elizabeth Cline不赞成服装租赁。B. Unfavorable.(不赞成的)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, (有一种叫“共享清洗”的东西，它让人们更精准的浪费，因为一个产品或服务是共享的，因此它被认为是更环保，优步就是其中的一个例子)可知，举Uber 的例子是为了说明服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费。C. renting clothes might waste more than expected(服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.( 这儿有一个更好的办法——即穿已经在衣柜里的衣服)可推测，作者建议我们穿自己已经拥有的衣服。D. make full use of clothes we've possessed(充分利用我们已经拥有的衣服)符合以上说法，故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第三段的Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.(克莱因写道，消费者的交通工具的碳足迹仅次于制造业)，第五段的Then there's the burden of washing(此外，还有洗涤的负担)和第六段的Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. (最后，Cline担心租赁服务会增加我们对快速时尚的兴趣，因为它很容易获得)可知，本文主要讲述衣服租赁并不是人们所说的那样环保 C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.(服装租赁没有那么环保)符合以上说法，故选C项。

VARK is a questionnaire that helps with your learning by suggesting the strategies you should be using. According to VARK, some people learn best by reading materials, while others are more visually-oriented (视觉导向的) and must see something to understand. Others might fall into the auditory learning subtype, meaning they tend to urderstand materials by listening to instructions. There are also kinesthetic (动觉的) learners, or those who learn best through hands-on activities.
Learning style theories had their popularity in the 1990s, when Beth Rogowsky was just starting as a middle school teacher. “At that time, when my students were given some learning material, if they disliked reading it, they could listen to it instead as long as they’d like to listen to others reading it; whatever they preferred, they would be encouraged to do it,” says Rogowsky, who is now an associate professor of teaching and learning at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania.
But when it comes to preferred learning styles, there’s a problem. The idea of using learning styles emerged in the 1980s as many researchers voiced their support, but few actually tested their concepts to confirm the validity in randomized, experimental settings. In the 2000s, when researchers started to do just that, they found little evidence that matching students to their supposed learning style helped them memorize information better.
Rogowsky herself has confirmed the belief that learning styles don’t hold up in her recent studies. In one study published in Frontiers in Psychology this year, Rogowsky and her colleagues tested fifth-graders with preferred auditory and visual learning styles. Students were given standardized reading tests, in both written and audio formats. The team didn’t uncover a relationship between their preferred learning styles and academic performance, according to Rogowsky.
The team’s study noted that a preference to learn material using a certain method could mask skill lack. “Someone who prefers to lean by listening instead of visual approaches might just have underdeveloped reading skills. Letting students learn in their preferred manner doesn’t push them to improve weaker skill sets,” Rogowsky says. “If you need to improve your skills, don’t just keep doing what’s easy to you.”
12. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To explain the complexity of the learning process.
B. To inspire people to actively engage in a questionnaire.
C. To show different people have different learning styles.
D. To suggest using VARK to choose efficient learning styles.
13. What did Beth Rogowsky use to do when she was a middle school teacher
A. Encourage students to learn creatively.
B Allow students to use their preferred learning style.
C. Help students improve their reading and listening ability.
D. Provide varied reading materials for students to choose from.
14. What does the underlined word “validity” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Correctness. B. Faulty. C. Arrangement. D. Budget.
15. What can we learn from Beth Rogowsky’s words in the last paragraph
A. Students need to focus on their academic performance.
B. Students should stick to their favorite learning materials.
C. Students hiding skill lack can boost their confidence
D. Students should go beyond a certain preferred learning style.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章开篇通过介绍VARK——一种让使用者知道自己应使用的学习策略的问卷，提出每个人都有自己偏向的学习风格，并介绍了学习风格理论。但研究表明，运用自己擅长的学习风格学习，并不利于发展自己的弱势技能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“VARK is a questionnaire that helps with your learning by suggesting the strategies you should be using. According to VARK, some people learn best by reading materials, while others are more visually-oriented (视觉导向的)and must see something to understand. Others might fall into the auditory learning subtype, meaning they tend to urderstand materials by listening to instructions. There are also kinesthetic (动觉的) learners, or those who learn best through hands-on activities. (VARK是一份通过建议你应该使用的策略来帮助你学习的问卷。根据VARK的说法，有些人通过阅读材料学习效果最好，而另一些人则更以视觉为导向，必须看到一些东西才能理解。还有些人可能属于听觉学习亚型，这意味着他们倾向于通过听指令来理解材料。也有动觉型学习者，也就是那些通过实践活动学习效果最好的学习者。)”可知，文章开篇通过介绍VARK学习问卷，表明不同的人有不同的学习风格，有些人习惯阅读材料，有些人是视觉学习者，还有些人是听觉或动觉学习者。由此可推知，作者写第一段的主要目的是提出“不同的人有不同的学习风格”这一观点。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“At that time, when my students were given some learning material, if they disliked reading it, they could listen to it instead as long as they’d like to listen to others reading it; whatever they preferred, they would be encouraged to do it; (当时，我给学生一些学习材料，如果他们不喜欢读，就可以用听代替，只要他们喜欢听别人读；无论他们喜欢什么，都会被鼓励去做)”可知，Rogowsky在中学当老师时，会鼓励学生用他们喜欢的方式学习。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“The idea of using learning styles emerged in the 1980s as many researchers voiced their support, but few actually tested their concepts to confirm the validity in randomized, experimental settings.(使用学习风格的想法20世纪80年代就出现了，当时许多研究人员表示支持，但很少有人真正测试他们的概念，以确认在随机的实验环境中的validity。)”提到了学习风格理论20世纪80年代就出现了，很多研究人员表示支持，但很少有人真正测试了这些概念的validity；下文“In the 2000s, when researchers started to do just that, they found little evidence that matching students to their supposed learning style helped them memorize information better.(到21世纪初，当研究人员开始这样做时，他们发现几乎没有证据表明，将学生与他们假定的学习风格相匹配有助于他们更好地记忆信息。)”提到了当研究人员开始测试时，并未发现将学生与假定的学习风格相匹配有助于他们记忆信息。由此可推知，研究人员们测试的是学习风格理论“有没有用”，也就是“效果”。validity表示“有效性；可信性”，此处与correctness互为同义表达。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“‘Someone who prefers to lean by listening instead of visual approaches might just have underdeveloped reading skills. Letting students learn in their preferred manner doesn’t push them to improve weaker skill sets,’ Rogowsky says. ‘If you need to improve your skills, don’t just keep doing what’s easy to you.’(“那些喜欢听而不是视觉学习的人可能只是阅读能力不发达。让学生以他们喜欢的方式学习并不会促使他们提高较弱的技能。如果你需要提高你的技能，不要一直做对你来说容易的事情。”Rogowsky说)”可知，Rogowsky的话表明，让学生使用自己偏好的方式学习并不会帮助他们提高自己较弱的技能，如果要提高较弱的节能，就不要一直做自己擅长的事。与D项“Students should go beyond a certain preferred learning style.(学生应该超越特定的首选学习方式。)”互为同义表达。故选D项。

How to Increase Your Levels of Optimism
The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way.____16____
Change your negative thoughts. Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are.____17____ The next step is to reduce them by comparing them to related or similar memories that are more pleasant. In this way, you gradually change them and select new thoughts. This requires a learning process that’ll take some time to practice. However, with patience, you’ll achieve the desired results.
Express gratitude. When you face a challenge, it’s advisable to figure out what’s going well. By taking the time to do this, you allow yourself to register the positive aspects that you experience. To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. ____18____
Repeat positive affirmations(肯定). One key element for increasing your levels of optimism that you get with previous two steps is positive affirmations. In fact, these messages that you repeat to yourself most regularly are the ones that you believe in and that determine your vision of life.____19____ You can start with one or two affirmations that represent the values you want to live by and the goals you want to achieve. For example, tell yourself “Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.____20____ Furthermore, it’ll make you stronger in the face of them and you’ll maintain your optimism.
A. People tend to hold the same attitude towards life.
B. However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism.
C. They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life.
D. First you should figure out what matters in your life and focus on positive messages.
E. Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively.
F. The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you’re grateful to them.
G. The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“如何提高你的乐观程度”的一些方法。
【16题详解】
前文“The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way.(你实现目标、面对挑战和克服失败的方式在很大程度上取决于你的乐观程度。不是每个人都以同样的方式看待生活。)”说明了成功与否取决于你的乐观态度，但是每个人对待生活的态度不一样。B项“However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism.(然而，你总是可以训练你的思维来产生或保持乐观。)”说明了想要成功，必须保持乐观的态度，与前文意义一致，符合语境。且下文就如何保持乐观给出了具体的建议。故选B项。
【17题详解】
本段主题句“Change your negative thoughts. (改变你的消极想法。)”强调了改变消极想法的重要性；空前句“Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are.(你的大脑吸收了消极的记忆，使它们比实际情况更大、更重要。)”说明了消极的记忆其实没有那么大、那么重要。E项“Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively.(因此，每当你有消极的想法时，更客观地分析和看待它们。)”与前文构成因果逻辑关系，说明了分析消极想法的重要性，符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
本段主题句“Express gratitude.(表达感激)。”强调了表达感激的重要性。F项“The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you’re grateful to them.(下一步是让你爱的人知道你爱他们，你感激他们。)”提出了感激，且自然顺承了前文“To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. (为了帮助你的大脑储存这些积极的事件，你应该每周花时间分析你应该感激的事情。)”，即要先分析出要感激的对象，然后再去感激。故选F项。
【19题详解】
本段主题句“Repeat positive affirmations. (重复积极的肯定.)”强调了重复积极的肯定的重要性。C项“They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life.(它们必须带着坚定的信念不断重复，并在你的日常生活中保持不变。)”说明了积极的重复的具体做法，且C项中“They”指代前文中“positive affirmations”和“These messages”。故选C项。
【20题详解】
前文“For example, tell yourself “Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.(例如，告诉自己“我每天都在进步”或“我正活在最美好的时刻”。)”给出了积极肯定的一些具体例子。G项“The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently.(重复类似的短语会让你的大脑以不同的方式解释消极事件。)”是对该作法的好处的总结。且G项中“these”指代前文中给到的例子““Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.”故选G项。

【答案】inconvenient
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：秘书为所有申请者安排了一个不方便的面试时间和地点，所以每个人都感到不安。根据后文名词time和句意可知，此处应用其形容词的反义词inconvenient“不方便的”作定语。故填inconvenient。

【答案】limitation
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这种药有一个重要的限制。它的作用只能持续6个小时。分析句式结构可知，因为important是形容词，形容词修饰名词，所以空格处用提示词的名词形式limitation作宾语。根据one可知，用名词的单数形式。故填limitation。

【答案】focused
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：亲戚们的目光都集中在他身上，他感到非常紧张。分析句式结构可知，此处是with的复合结构，即with+宾语+宾补，又因为focus和宾语eyes之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾补。故填focused。

【答案】to be admitted
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：直到我失去了被我梦想中的大学录取的机会，我才意识到珍惜青春的重要性。分析句子，句中lost为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处lose the opportunity to do为固定短语，意为“失去去做某事的机会”，使用不定式结构作后置定语；同时I和admit之间是被动关系，故使用不定式被动结构。故填to be admitted。
58. It was the first time that this road ______________ (access) by humans. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had been accessed
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：这是人类第一次踏上这条路。分析句子，句中使用固定句型it was the first time that+过去完成时，表示“第一次做某事”。同时，this road和access之间是被动关系，故使用过去完成时的被动语态。故填had been accessed。

【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者作为交换生的经历，并介绍了自己的所得所想。
【详解】1. 考查代词。句意：我成功地提高了我的语言技能。根据句意可知，这次经历是提高了“我的”而不是“他们的”语言技能。故将their改为my。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：准确地说，我的演讲经历帮助我提高了我的英语口语能力，从而让我更多地了解如何在公共场合做演讲。非谓语动词担当结果状语，表示自然而然产生的结果，用现在分词形式。故将allow改为allowing。
3. 考查固定搭配。句意：准确地说，我的演讲经历帮助我提高了我的英语口语能力，从而让我更多地了解如何在公共场合做演讲。固定搭配：in public，意为“在公共场合”，不需要冠词修饰。故将public前的the去掉。
4. 考查谓语动词。句意：此外，我在那里遇到了各种各样的乐于助人的人，玩得很开心。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上文可知，本句时态为一般过去时。故将meet改为met。
5. 考查定语从句。句意：我感谢那些帮助过我的人。考查定语从句的关系代词，先行词为“people”，在定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词who或that引导。故将which改为who或that。
6. 考查固定搭配。句意：我学会了从不同的角度思考问题。固定搭配：point of view，意为“观点”。故在view前加of。
7. 考查名词。句意：同时，我也学会了回馈社会，不求回报地服务他人。society意为“社会”时为不可数名词，不可用复数形式。故将societies改为society。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：同时，我也学会了回馈社会，不求回报地服务他人。这里为非谓语动词担当介词without的宾语，用动名词形式。故将expect改为expecting。
9. 考查固定搭配。句意：总之，我确实从这次出国旅行中学到了一些有价值的东西。固定搭配：in short，意为“总之”，故将shortly改为short。
10. 考查形容词或者介词。句意：总之，我确实从这次出国旅行中学到了一些有价值的东西。修饰不定代词用形容词，也可用介词“of”加抽象名词，相当于该名词的形容词。故将value改为valuable或者value前加of。
