Dear fellow students,
Recently, we’re astonished to find many students are obsessed with blind boxes, spending a
large sum of money impulsively.
As teenagers, we are still reliant on parents economically. Also, money wasted on blind boxes
can be spent on daily necessities and things contributing to our personal growth. It's advisable that
we should develop a rational spending habit and practice the virtue of thrift.
We appeal to all of us to be smart with money and be wise “investors”!
The Students’ Union
参考范文：
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. The boy lay stiff on the ground, blood dripping
down from his forehead. People screaming, cars crashing, what a mess the scene was! A wave of
terror swept over me, rooting me to the ground. Suddenly, it dawned upon me that my emergency
knowledge could save him. Without hesitation, I dashed to him and performed the routine
skillfully. After what seemed a century, to my relief, the boy came to himself and opened his eyes.
Just at that point, the ambulance arrived and rushed him to the hospital.
The next day, when I went to the hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful
smiles on their face. “Thank you. But for you, my boy would have lost his life forever.” The boy’s
father hugged me tightly, his eyes sparkling with gratitude. To be frank, his words sent a flush of
excitement coursing through me. “Any doctor will do that.” I blurted out, grinning from ear to ear.
Yes, deep in heart was buried a commitment that I should be a doctor. But it was not until that
moment that I realized which career path I should choose.

It's said that architecture should speak of its time and place, but long for timelessness. It's no wonder that some of the most creative designs are implemented on college campuses, where students learn from the past and grow from new perspectives. As students from all over the world meet again for the school year, these campuses offer different point s of view, not only through their courses, but also through their unconventional building styles. Here are college buildings around the world that present different angles.
On Island Time
Venice International University
VENICE, ITALY
At VIU, located in a lagoon(环礁湖) on the island of San Servolo, the only way to get to the campus is by water. The architecture is symbolic of the island's rich history——transformed from a monastery to a hospital, with remains of the vineyards and gardens that once covered much of the land.
Mountain Construction
University of Cape Town
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Nestled just below Devil's Peak, this university uses geography as architecture, with the buildings melding(融合) into a mountainous backdrop. It's a setting that comes with risk, though. Last year, a wildfire on the slope raged through the campus, destroying several historic buildings including the library and the special collections. Restoration efforts are still in progress.
Dean of Dumplings
Nanyang Technological University
SINGAPORE
If this student center has you desire dumplings, you're not alone. The building, actually named The Hive, is also referred to as the “dim sum building” for its similarity to piles of steamer baskets. Not everyone agrees though. The Architectural Review compared the building to “something of a deserted car-park aesthetic(美感)”.
21. How can you get to Venice International University
A. By bike. B. By train. C. By taxi. D. By boat.
22. What happened to University of Cape Town last year
A. The campus was damaged by accident.
B. The buildings survived a natural disaster.
C. The library and collections were restored.
D. The campus was built below Devil's Peak.
23. Which description of The Hive will The Architectural Review probably agree with
A. It's simple. B. It's lonely. C. It's historical. D. It's lifelike.
B
Tim Holland is 18 years old and a senior at Lucy C. Laney Comprehensive High School in Augusta, Georgia. Ever since he was young, Holland has been loving animals, particularly the cold-blooded kind. He decided to try herping (野采), something most young men like him aren't into, in 2020 and said the first time was “low-key and hard” because he didn’t know exactly where the animals were.
After a while, Holland gained hands-on experience and developed a sharp eye. Influenced by him, some of his friends tried out her ping too. One of these friends, Ro Smith, encouraged him to start a TikTok page about herping. It took some convincing, but Holland eventually decided to try it and started his TikTok page Nukherping. The general format of his videos is pretty simple: Holland shows animals he has found, says a bit about them and then repeats, with the desire to make them known to the viewers. He has slowly become very popular, with his biggest video gaining over 2 million views in early April.
Though his videos are laid-back, Holland takes herping safety very seriously and hopes his audience could take it seriously, too. Holland keeps a distance from the dangerous animals he finds and adds warnings to videos with such creatures, telling his viewers “do not try this at home”. He also carries equipment such as hand sanitizer, gloves and snake sticks to ensure safety and cleanliness.
Holland hopes to travel after graduating from high school so he can check off some of the animals on his“ must-see ” list. He also plans to study zoology at North Greenville University in South Carolina and play on the soccer team there.
Some people around Holland think Holland is crazy for what he does, but his mother, Latasha, takes a different view. “I think that's gonna be very interesting. He can inspire and educate other young boys and girls with his experience, and it's also something that's going to be good for the community,” she said.
24. What does Holland want to do with Nukherping
A. Attract people to herping.
B. Spread knowledge about animals.
C. Support his friend Ro Smith.
D. Call on people to protect animals.
25. Which belongs to Holland’s future plan
A. Traveling around the world.
B. Going into teaching young children.
C. Becoming a zoology major.
D. Playing for the national soccer team.
26. Which words can best describe Holland
A. Ambitious and energetic.
B. Adventurous and inspiring.
C. Devoted and responsible.
D. Cautious and sharp-minded.
27. What is Holland's mother's attitude to his herping
A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Favorable.
C
Lisa Gautier receives nearly a dozen parcels of human hair every day. With her San-Francisco-based non-profit organization Matter of Trust, Gautier turns donated hair into mats used to soak up oil spills on land, and booms(long tubes) used for spills at sea.
A standard way to clean up oil from land is to use mats made from polypropylene(聚丙烯).But polypropylene is a non-biodegradable plastic, and producing it ultimately means more drilling for oil. Hair, by contrast, is an environmentally friendly resource that can soak up around five times its weight in oil, according to Matter of Trust, and it is abundant. Oil spills can pollute drinking water, endanger public health, harm plants and wildlife, and damage the economy. According to Gautier, the spills that hit the headlines only make up 5% of global oil pollution.
Megan Murray, an environmental biologist at the University of Technology Sydney, develops sustainable technologies to tackle oil spills. Her research indicates that as well as being biodegradable, human hair is often just as effective as polypropylene, and in some circumstances even better. “The hair mats are very beneficial to land spills,” says Murray but adds that when raw oil is spilled on beach sand, it is very difficult to absorb it using any of the materials she has tested. Another advantage of hair is that it costs less than conventional materials and is “globally available as a recycled material,” she says. However, Murray cautions that hair mats are not a perfect solution, because they are single-use, and can only be dealt with by burning or by burying into soil which then isn't suitable for growing food. She is now researching methods to extract the oil from a used hair mat, meaning both can be reused.
As the hair mat designs aren't under patent, other groups have begun producing their own mats and booms. Gautier is pleased to see the movement growing. “Anyone can make a hair mat,” she says. “It creates green jobs, it cleans water, it reduces waste in landfill, and it’s promoting renewable resources.”
28. What do we know about polypropylene according to the passage
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. People need more oil to produce it.
C. It can soak up around five times its weight in oil.
D. People seldom use mats made from it to clean up oil from land.
29. What does Megan Murray think of the hair mats
A. Hair mats do no harm to soil after being burnt.
B. People spend more to make hair mats than conventional materials.
C. The effect of hair mats on terrestrial(陆地上的) spills is not very good.
D. Hair mats are not a perfect solution because they can't be recycled now.
30. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most oil-spill events have received widespread media coverage.
B. Lisa Gautier donated her hair to soak up oil spills on land and at sea.
C. Megan Murray goes all out to make the hair mats and the oil extracted from them reused.
D. There are many other materials used to treat oil spills on beach sand besides hair.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Human Hair Is Being Used to Clean Up Oil Spills
B. Take Action to Make Hair Mats And Booms
C. How to Tackle Oil Spills
D. A Perfect Recycled Material—Human Hair
D
Although ethics classes are common around the world, scientists are unsure if their lessons can actually change behavior; evidence either way is weak, relying on contrived (捏造的)laboratory tests or sometimes unreliable self-reports. But a new study published in Cognition found that, in at least one real-world situation, a single ethics lesson may have had lasting effects.
The researchers investigated one class session's impact on eating meat. According to study co-author Eric Schwitzgebel, a philosopher at the University of California, Riverside: students’ attitudes on the topic are variable and unstable, behavior is easily measurable, and ethics literature largely agrees that eating less meat is good because it reduces environmental harm and animal suffering. Half of the students in four large philosophy classes read an article on the ethics of factory-farmed meat, optionally watched an 11-minute video on the topic and joined a 50-minute discussion. The other half focused on charitable giving instead. Then, unbeknownst to the students, the researchers studied their anonymized meal-card purchases for that semester nearly 14,000receipts for almost 500 students. “It’s an awesome data set,” says Nina Strohminger, a psychologist who teaches business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania and was not involved in the study.
Schwitzgebel predicted the intervention would have no effect; he had previously found that ethics professors do not differ from other professors on a range of behaviors, including voting rates, blood donation and returning library books. But among student subjects who discussed meat ethics, meal purchases containing meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent and this effect held steady for the study's duration of several weeks. Purchases from the other group remained at 52percent.
“That's actually a pretty large effect for a pretty small intervention.” Schwitzgebel says. Strohminger agrees: “The thing that still blows my mind is that the only thing that's different between these two cases is just that one day in class.” She says she wants the effect to be real but cannot rule out some unknown confounding variable. And if real, Strohminger notes, it might be reversible by another nudge: “Easy come, easy go.”
Schwitzgebel suspects the greatest impact came from social influence ——classmates or teaching assistants leading the discussions may have shared their own vegetarianism(素食主义),showing it as achievable or more common. Second, the video may have had an emotional impact. Least inspiring, he thinks, was rational argument, although his co-authors say reason might play a bigger role. Now the researchers are probing the specific effects of teaching style, teaching assistants’ eating habits and students’ video exposure. Meanwhile Schwitzgebel who had predicted no effect—will be eating his words.
32. Paragraph 2 is mainly about .
A. Research reasons and process
B. Research subjects and findings
C. Research topic and significance
D. Research data collection and analysis
33. Which of the following doesn't lead to the researchers' investigation into meat-eating among students
A. Students’ knowledge of the topic.
B. Students’ changeable and unsteady attitudes.
C. Students’ easily-measured behaviors.
D. Students’ unawareness of ethics lessons’ impact.
34. What does the underlined phrase “blows my mind” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Convinces me. B. Upsets me. C. Amazes me. D. Alarms me.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To prove Schwitzgebel’s prediction is wrong.
B. To show teaching works in behavior changing.
C. To justify investigation into ethics is worthwhile.
D. To explain students are easy to make a change.

It was time for Macy to move. She booked a few house viewings and after looking at three places, she fell in love with one house. But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 36 Will the others be cheaper
We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal(最优的) stopping problem. 37 It's asking how long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision .
Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 38 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.
Mathematics offers us the best answer to the “optimal stopping problem”. But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 39 In the psychological and economics field, there is an “explore/ exploit trade-off'. This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed “win” (exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome(explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 40 Of course, different people are more explorative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.
A. What if the next house is better
B. How much does it cost a month
C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.
D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.
E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.
F. So it falls on psychology to tell us about how we actually behave.
G. The mathematical question for Macy concerns maximizing probabilities.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。
In 2019, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement(实习) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had a stressful environment. The days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through(穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
