A
Where to find money that can help you pay for a college or university after high school.
The Student Assistance Program(SAP)
It is a provincial student support program，offering a mix of financial assistance to thousands of students each year.You can only be suitable for SAP if you don’t get enough money from other sources to cover your college or university expenses.The income that you report to SAP generally needs to match what you report to the school when you file your taxes.
You can use the online calculator to help.You’ll see how much financial assistance you could be suitable to receive from SAP.
Financial Aid from Schools
You can check with the school directly to see what financial aid programs they offer.You could be suitable for assistantships，scholarships，work-study programs and summer employment opportunities.These are all sources of money you don’t have to pay back.
Emergency Loans
Most schools also offer emergency loans.For example，you could be suitable for a short-term loan (90 days) to cover tuition，if you’re waiting for SAP to arrive.Banks，trust companies and credit unions offer student loans and lines of credit.Talk to your financial institution for more information.
Self-fund
It’s a good idea to save money from a summer job or job you hold throughout the year to help pay for your education.Your parents or other relatives might also be able to contribute to education costs.
Another option is to consider investing savings through a bank/financial institution—so that money can earn interest—if you plan to go to college or university in the future.
Extra Assistance
Some students，such as those with disabilities or who receive social assistance，may be suitable for additional student aid.
1．What kind of financial assistance does SAP offer
A．Banking methods.
B．Education expenses.
C．Future job funds.
D．Campus medical costs.
2．Which of the following aids must be repaid in a short time
A．Assistantships. B．Self-fund.
C．Emergency loans. D．Additional aid.
3．What may one learn from Self-fund
A．Academic instructions.
B．Online courses.
C．After-school programs.
D．Investment methods.

A recent study has followed the origins，or beginnings of the family of languages that include modern Japanese，Korean，Turkish and Mongolian.The findings show a shared genetic ancestor for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian(跨欧亚的) languages.Such languages had their origin with millet farmers who lived in an area in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago.Millet is a small，round whole grain.It was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers became farmers.
The study’s findings show how the use of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world’s major language families.The research highlights the complex beginnings of modern populations and cultures.
Martine Robbeets，head of the Archaeolinguistic Research Group，said people often think of Japan，Korea and China as powerful nations representing one language，one culture and one people.“All languages，cultures and humans，including those in Asia，are mixed，” Robbeets said.“Accepting that the roots of one’s language，culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is to surrender identity，which some people are not yet prepared to make.”
The researchers studied data of vocabulary from the 98 languages.They identified a group of words related to agriculture and created a language family tree.The researchers examined data from 255 archaeological sites in China，Japan，Korea and eastern Russia.They studied ancient objects including pottery，stone tools and plant and animal remains.They also included the dating of 269 ancient crop remains from different areas.
The researchers found that farmers in northeastern China eventually grew rice and wheat along with millet.The crops spread along with farming populations to Korea by about 1300BCE and from there to Japan after about 1000BCE.As the ancient farmers moved across northeastern Asia，related languages spread into Siberia，Korea and Japan over thousands of years.
4．According to the study，what do Transeurasian languages originate from
A．Ice Age people.
B．Ancient Japanese.
C．Ancient millet farmers.
D．Early hunter-gatherers.
5．What does the underlined word“surrender”probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Give up. B．Maintain.
C．Take in. D．Destroy.
6．How do the researchers conduct their study
A．By giving examples.
B．By analyzing some statistics.
C．By setting down general rules.
D．By doing an experiment.
7．What is the main idea of the text
A．Food has a close relationship with culture diversity.
B．A large language family has ancient origins in China.
C．Human activities lead to different language movements.
D．The research on the language family’s beginnings counts.
C
Putting a microchip(芯片) into one’s brain brings the world a super hero，which is common in sci-fi movies.However，we may find it possible in reality.
Elon Musk，founder of SpaceX and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla—has been working on this technology.On Aug.28，Musk gave a livestream demonstration of the chip，which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.
The chip，developed by Musk’s company，is the size of a coin.But don’t let its size fool you.The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(电极) attached to flexible threads，which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神经元)．It collects neural signals from an area of the brain，and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers.In the livestream，Gertrude could be seen walking around sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.
Though the technology is still in its early stage，it is encouraging for humans.This technology “would solve a lot of brain injuries”，which allows the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence，Musk said.
When the device can be applied to humans，its main goal will be to help those who have mobility issues，such as those suffering from paralysis(瘫痪)．Musk hopes this technology could also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy(癫痫)．
Although such a device could，in principle，repair those problems，putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake.Currently，the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig’s brain.Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain，this number is tiny.And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.Also，implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger.There is a possibility of the immune system attacking this foreign body.
Right now，the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic.“There are many technological challenges...to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes，”Yuan Lanfeng，an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China，told China Daily.
8．What do we know about Elon Musk’s microchip according to the first three paragraphs
A．It is able to collect wireless signals.
B．It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
C．It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
D．It has no more than 1,000 electrodes.
9．What is the major goal of the microchip in human applications
A．To develop a cure for epilepsy.
B．To monitor animals’ brain activity.
C．To contribute to the research in AI technologies.
D．To help people with difficulty in moving freely.
10．What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A．Key differences between pigs’ and humans’ brains.
B．Hidden challenges and risks in practice.
C．Implanting the chip costs a lot.
D．The immune system is the major problem to the implant.
11．How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain
A．Excited. B．Cautious.
C．Optimistic. D．Worried.
D
Inflammation(炎症) is the body’s defense mechanism.You might have experienced it if you sustained physical injuries or had an infection，like the flu，which causes a sore throat.Inflammation can occur in any organ，but it is most common and easy to see in the skin.You will notice redness，heat and swelling.
Usually this is a good thing，as it shows you have a healthy immune system that can kill pathogens(病原体) and repair damage.However，inflammation can be a double-edged sword as in some people it can target the body’s healthy cells，causing what is called an autoimmune disease.
Given this danger，a new study from Cambridge University，the UK，has been looking into brain conditions that are not usually linked to autoimmune diseases.The study found that inflammation of the brain— known as neuroinflammation(神经炎症)—has been linked to several forms of dementia(痴呆)．
In this new study，researchers scanned the brains of 31 volunteers with three different types of dementia.The first scan was to highlight neuroinflammation，and a second scan illuminated(阐明) poisonous proteins that are linked with dementia.The team also examined 12 post-mortem(after death) brains.
These experiments showed similar patterns of poisonous protein build-up and neuroinflammation，suggesting a relationship between inflammation and dementia.
“Even we were surprised by how tightly these two problems mapped onto each other.Now，the big question is what role this neuroinflammation plays in the decline of the mind associated with dementia，”said Thomas Cope，one of the authors of the study.
Another of the study’s researchers，James Rowe，highlighted the importance of further research.He said the frequent presence of inflammation in neurodegenerative(神经退化的) diseases，including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease，“offers hope that immune-based treatments might help slow or prevent these conditions”．
12．Why is inflammation usually a good thing
A．It can defend our body against infection.
B．It allows injuries to heal themselves.
C．It gives long-term protection to healthy cells.
D．It is a reflection of a healthy immune system.
13．What did the study from Cambridge University find
A．Neuroinflammation leads to dementia.
B．Increased poisonous proteins in the brain cause dementia.
C．There are links between neuroinflammation and dementia.
D．Poisonous protein build-up and neuroinflammation have different patterns.
14．What is still unknown according to Thomas Cope
A．Why neuroinflammation is connected with dementia.
B．How the decline of the mind is associated with dementia.
C．How to prevent neuroinflammation from developing into dementia.
D．To what extent neuroinflammation and dementia are linked with each other.
15．What can be inferred from James Rowe’s words
A．Inflammation is one of the causes of neuroinflammation.
B．Immune-based treatments would be the best cure for dementia.
C．Research on neuroinflammation could help treat neurodegenerative diseases.
D．Further research will focus on methods of cutting poisonous proteins in the brain.

BASE jumping is a dangerous sport that involves using a parachute(降落伞) to jump off a high structure. 16 Because BASE jumping is very dangerous，it is sometimes considered a “stunt”，or“daredevil activity”rather than a sport.
BASE is an acronym(首字母缩写) that stands for the four categories of fixed launch points for a BASE jump：building，antennae(高塔)，span(bridge) and earth(cliff)．“BASE numbers” are awarded to those jumpers who have completed at least one jump from each of the categories. 17
Carl Boenish made the first official BASE jump off the Troll Wall in Norway in 1984.Unfortunately，Carl Boenish was killed two days after that first BASE jump as he tried to make another BASE jump off the Troll Wall.Improvements in equipment have helped reduce BASE jumping deaths. 18 There are no reliable statistics on the number of people killed and injured while BASE jumping，but it is certainly more dangerous than skydiving.Because of the high death rate，BASE jumping has not gained widespread acceptance. 19 A BASE jumper needs to get permission to use both the place from which the jump is initiated(开始) and the landing areas.Some places，like the Troll Wall，are banned because of the high level of danger.However，many sites are still open to jumpers.
20 It can easily injure or kill you.You are a huge investment of time，energy，and money by your parents.Your parents expect you to have good judgment，so think hard before you do anything that is dangerous.
A．BASE jumping is something that you shouldn’t do.
B．Teens’parents don’t support BASE jumping because it costs money.
C．A BASE number qualifies the participant as a recognized BASE jumper.
D．This is also one of the reasons that it is considered illegal in many countries.
E．BASE jumping just gets even more dangerous as you compete to be the quickest.
F．It has become popular with those constantly looking for new and exciting things to do.
G．Nevertheless，many people，including skilled jumpers，are still injured or killed every year.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a particularly tough day last December，Flores came up with the idea of having her twins send letters to Santa by balloon.She told them that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on his sled.
The twins were excited.Flores helped them compose their letters，writing down all the things they dreamed Santa might bring them，and then put the notes into festive red balloons.
On a chilly，windy morning，she dressed the girls in identical pink sweatshirts，put beautiful bows in their hair，and then took them outside to release their wishes to the universe.
Several days later，when Alvin Bamburg,66，was deep in the woods in Grand Cane，Louisiana，something caught his eyes.Hanging in a fallen tree，it looked like litter.But Bamburg felt he must pick it up.
“God just told me，”he says.
As Bamburg approached，he saw that the object was a broken balloon.Attached was a piece of paper decorated with shiny star stickers.It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa，”the handwritten note read.“ My name is Luna.I am four years old，and I live in Liberal，Kansas.This year I have been nice.I would like candy，Spider-Man ball，and Frozen doll.With love，Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest.Ever since he was a child，he had dreamed of this.“Years ago，”he says，“classes at school released balloons with notes.I’ve always wanted to find one.”
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true.And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true，too.
He just wasn’t sure how.
It is over 650 miles from Grand Cane，Louisiana to Liberal Kansas.But Bamburg’s wife，Lee Ann Bamburg，was not frightened by the distance.An enthusiastic Facebook user，she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
So Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A possible version:
So Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page. Fortunately，the post found its way to Flores.It amazed her to learn that a stranger coincidentally spotting the balloon would fulfill her daughters’ Christmas wishes.Greatly touched，she called Alvin.When told how much it would mean to him to satisfy the girls’ wishes，she shared her address.No sooner had he hung up than he headed to purchase tasty candies，fancy dolls，and balls of various types.He then had them packed and mailed them with a note signed “Alvin”．
Having received so much generosity，Flores and her girls were deeply moved.To express appreciation for Alvin’s kindness，the twins wrote a thank you letter to him.It dawned on them that a kind act would make a world of difference.Inspired by Alvin’s kindness，they planned to give away their toys，shoes and clothes to the poor children at Christmas.They shared the idea with Mom，who gave them a thumbs up.Flores felt pleased that an invaluable lesson was engraved on her girls’ mind that the best way to pay back is to pay it forward.
