For students who have a strong independent spirit, or are looking to fully experience a new language and culture, choose direct enrollment. From applying for a student visa to finding housing and making new friends, students who pick this choice will have to take care of most of the practical matters on their own. Sound too much Don’t worry. This guide will help you.
● What is Direct Enrollment
With direct enrollment, students are able to sign up as visiting students in regular classes at foreign universities. By choosing this option, students pay tuition to the foreign university directly, thus cutting out the middle-man of a program provider.
●Why is Direct Enrollment a Good Option for Students
Direct enrollment can save you money. The middle-men of program providers can save you time and stress. They are able to do this because they charge more for added benefits like visa support and arranging housing. However, not all students can afford to pay for these extra services. This is where direct enrollment comes in. Plus, it can promote a stronger sense of independence. Direct enrollment lets you completely personalize your experience. If you don’t want to do a homestay with a stranger or live in a dorm, direct enrollment gives you the freedom to choose.
●How to Apply for Direct Enrollment
Direct enrollment requires students to apply to their overseas university of choice just like they did for their home university in the U. S. Students will need to submit (提交) several items which include online application form, approval letter from home university and copy of passport. Many universities have minimum GPA requirements, usually a 3. 0. Some others may ask for a personal statement to support the application.
21. How does direct enrollment help students save money
A. By reducing tuition fees. B. By offering scholarships.
C. By providing cheaper housing choices. D. By removing the cost of extra services.
22. What is a must to apply for direct enrollment
A. A GPA of 3.0. B. A passport copy.
C. A personal statement. D. An approval letter from high school.

Friends Williams and Smith Jr. spend the weeks leading up to Christmas traveling across the country. They visit all 50 states, making house calls to kids who are sick or disabled. The pair arrive with plenty of toys, and in costume, both of which make the young recipients (接受者) happy.
Williams started this tradition after losing his mother to cancer in 2009, which led him into a deep sadness. Every time he met with those fighting against diseases, he decided he would do something for them. Then he founded his nonprofit organization, a Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal: to bring smiles to children with health challenges.
In past years, Williams has dressed up as various superheroes and other be- loved characters — including Spider-Man, Deadpool and the Mandalorian — while Smith dressed up as a Christmas elf (精灵). “Williams was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at the age of 2. “I will never forget that day.”
Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Kawaii. Along the way, they buy their toys with money provided by the Future SuperHero website, where people can also recommend families for visits.) Often, Williams contributes his own money. Their task is not just about the gifts; they spend quality time with the children and their families, providing company and warmth. Williams has said that sometimes the parents are even more excited than the children.
The pair say they want to make sure families facing hard battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they hardly get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Williams adds that he doesn’t do it for pay; it’s a way to recover from the sadness of losing his mother and keep his memory alive.
24. Why did Williams start visiting children
A. To travel across the country. B. To lift children’s spirits.
C. To give children money. D. To found an organization.
25. What is Katrina Morris’s attitude to William’s act
A. Dissatisfied. B. Doubtful.
C. Thankful. D. Supportive.
26. How does the website Future SuperHero help Williams and Smith
A. It offers money. B. It sells toys.
C. It provides company. D. It shares stories.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Superhero and the Elf: A Tale of Two Friends.
B. Fighting Cancer and Depression: A Mother’s Story.
C. The 50-State Toy Drive: A Holiday Tradition.
D. A Christmas Journey: Spreading Joy to the Sick and Disabled.

The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, in which tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands injured, was the event that changed everything for China in this field. The 8.0-magnitude quake had presented the most difficult relief (救助) challenges to the country since 1949, leading to a complete review and improvement of the country’s emergency response (应对) capabilities. Since then, preventing and controlling disasters has become a top concern for the Chinese government.
For earthquakes, getting an early warning is extremely important. The Chengdu High-tech Disaster Reduction Center found that a three-second early warning can lower the number of the injured by 14%; a ten-second warning, by 39%; a 20-second warning, by 63%. So in the following years China has developed an automatic (自动的) early warning system which can send out warnings to millions of people in China within just two minutes after an earthquake.
In 2018, the Chinese government also created the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with civil services, the Red Cross, and the National Fire and Rescue Administration to ensure a round-the-clock emergency response. There are now 27 specialized teams for mountain, water, and air rescues, as well as earthquake relief, and seven teams for helping with international rescue efforts.
Whether it is earthquake, typhoon, flood or forest fire, China has an excellent record in post-disaster recovery, as it is able to organize resources from various departments including power, water conservancy and supply, telecommunications and disease control. To reduce the effects of follow-up disasters, these departments would do their parts to repair damaged roads and railways, restore power, water supply, communication and other services to help people get back to normal life.
Disaster relief requires the whole society to work together. And China sets an example of how to prevent loss and save lives by putting the people first.
28. How does this text show the importance of early warning systems
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving examples.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By making contrast.
29. Why has the government set up the specialized teams
A. To carry out disaster relief internationally.
B. To help the rescue and recovery work.
C To train local people in disaster prevention.
D. To handle forest fires more effectively.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. The effects of follow-up disasters have been reduced.
B. A lot of natural disasters have happened in the world.
C. Disaster relief needs efforts across various departments.
D. Different departments are responsible for building roads and railways.
31. What’s the main idea of this text
A. China has improved disaster response and recovery.
B. China has developed an early warning system for earthquakes.
C. China organized various departments for post-disaster recovery.
D China has created specialized departments to respond to earthquakes.
D
As the Spring Festival approaches, discussions on “festive atmosphere fading away (逐渐消失)” have once again risen to the surface; yet a closer look reveals that young people are not throwing away traditions, but celebrating the festival in new and innovative ways.
On the lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, users share couplets (对联) they have written. Instead of poetic wishes, the paired phrases could be numbers, emojis and plain slogans—with “Having money and knowledge; Losing weight and troubles” an often-seen refrain. These funny couplets have encouraged many people to continue the Spring Festival tradition of hanging couplets and sticking gate-god pictures. Calligraphy, woodcut pictures and traditional paintings also gain in popularity among people born from 1995 to 2010.
Another rebounding (复苏的) tradition is wearing hanfu, a traditional garment of the Han people, often worn during festivals. For people born after 1990s, one of the childhood Spring Festival customs was buying new clothes. Some still embrace this tradition as a way to ring in the newyear. Dang Hui from Luoyang, took her family for a hanfu family photoshoot. Instead of sitting indoors, they went to ancient-style parks and temple fairs.
Some young people also get to know better and become interested in Spring Festival “traditions”, such as visiting temple fairs, flower markets and watching lion dancing. Meng Fanis spending the holidays with her family in Guangzhou and they plan to watch lion dancing, which combines martial arts, folk music and dance. The movements, mimicking lions climbing mountains, jumping across rivers and playing with each other, carry auspicious meanings such as overcoming difficulties and making achievements.
Through these new ways to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, older generations pass on traditions while young people gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Spring Festival.
32. What can we learn about the young people from paragraph 2
A. They are good at writing poetic slogans.
B. They dislike traditional Chinese art forms.
C. They are tired of the Spring Festival traditions.
D. They express their wishes through funny couplets.
33. Why does the author mention Dang Hui
A. To recall childhood memories. B. To introduce hanfu photoshoot.
C. To give the details of an old custom. D. To show the comeback of a tradition.
34. What does the underlined word “auspicious” mean in paragraph 4
A. Positive. B. Different. C. Confusing. D. Original.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The decline of festive atmosphere. B. The meaning carried by Spring Festival.
C. The importance of passing on traditions. D. The renewal of Spring Festival traditions.

I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going ” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
