Guide to Preparing for College
While there is no single academic path for all students to follow, we want to help you make choices that will lead you to a successful college career.
A well-rounded education
A good high school education should do more than prepare you for the next level of education or for later employment — it should prepare you to take advantage of future learning opportunities of all kinds. You should gain particular skills and information, as well as a broad perspective on the world and its possibilities.
Choosing high school courses
By taking the most academically demanding courses you can find, you can improve both your chance of admission to a selective college and your performance during the first years of college.
We recommend:
● The study of English for four years: extensive reading of the classics ofthe world’s literature
● Four years of a single foreign language
● The study of history for at least two years, and preferably three years
● The study of mathematics for four years*
● The study of science for four years: physics, chemistry, and biology, and preferably one of these at an advanced level
Various important secondary school subjects, such as art and music, are not specifically mentioned in our recommendations. Leaving out these subjects should not be interpreted as a value judgment. We are concerned only with secondary school subjects proven by data to support college coursework.

Yasmeen Lari looked out of the car window across Pakistan’s Siran Valley, saddened by the loss of its once-green landscape. A massive earthquake just one week prior had killed up to 79,000 people and turned the valley into mud and flattened buildings. The 65-year-old architect was there to lead settlement reconstruction, but she had never done disaster-relief work before. She was filled with anticipation after a two-hour flight and this five-hour drive.
Darkness had fallen before her driver pulled into the rescue base. At 1,500 meters, it was safer from aftershocks and rock slides than lower ground. When she stepped out of the car and was briefed on the villages needing immediate help, the enormity of the task ahead hit her full force.
Lari, Pakistan’s first female architect since 1964, was famous for designing modern glass and concrete towers in Karachi. Here, though, she’d design earthquake-resistant homes with stone and wood. In a simple cottage near the camp, she would spend the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers to help displaced families build new homes, even as temperatures dropped and snow fell.
“You can’t imagine the desolation (荒凉),” Lari recalls of those days in the mountains. Her team, often the first to arrive on the scene, were greeted with unexpected hospitality (热情款待), given the circumstances. On one visit, villagers pulled out their best chairs and table rescued from the earthquake. “They’d lost everything,” she says. “But they put this damaged table in front ofus and covered it with a beautiful patterned cloth. And then they served us their World Food Programme food: biscuits, tea and
”
eggs.
With each passing day, Lari was re-engineering her identity — from “starchitect” to humanitarian. The profession had been good to her, but she had grown disappointed with projects for the rich. And doing disaster-relief work felt deeply right. So she made it her new mission.
24. Why was Lari in Siran Valley
A. To help with the rebuilding. B. To study local housing styles.
C. To develop a travel project. D. To survey earthquake damage.

What if you could stay mentally sharp in old age We may be closer to understanding “superagers”
— people over 80 with the cognitive ( 认 知 的) skills of someone decades younger. Northwestern University’s SuperAging Research Program has identified some common brain features that help preserve this function.
The research defines a “distinct brain-related signature” for identifying superagers: You might be one if you’re 80 or older and can recall at least nine words 30 minutes after hearing a 15-word list. Superagers ’ brains also show slower thinning, with only a 1.06% reduction over 18 months compared to the 2.24% seen in their peers ( 同龄人), and a stronger cholinergic system, which is crucial for memory, learning and motor function. Critically, there’s one quality all superagers share: sociability.
This observed sociability has biological roots. Superagers possess more von Economo neurons, a type of brain cell associated with sociability, than their peers, and even more than younger people. These neurons are found in highly social species like whales. “Animals with strong connections tend to outlive and outsmart their peers. It’s like the pack culture,” says study author Gefen. Additionally, superagers’ thicker anterior cingulate gyrus — a brain region linked to motivation rather than memory — suggests that they may be more willing to engage in challenging tasks.
However, this isn’t a long-term study tracking participants from youth, so “we can’t completely know whether this high level of sociability is helping or not,” Gefen notes. While other research suggests lifestyle factors like exercise may prevent up to 45% of serious memory loss, their role in superagers remains unclear. “When it comes to superagers, we have more questions than answers,” she adds.
Still, this research could help find future treatments for some brain diseases. Northwestern’s ongoing work aims to advance this goal, including investigating what makes von Economo neurons special and their role in disease resistance.
28. What is the key characteristic that sets superagers apart from their peers
A. Rapid brain thinning. B. Strong critical thinking.
C. Superb visual memory. D. High social engagement.

29. Why does the author mention whales in paragraph 3
A. To analyze human-animal ties. B. To illustrate the basis of sociability.
C. To show the observation result. D. To contrast brains of various species.
30. What does Gefen mean by saying “It’s like the pack culture”
A. Social bonds benefit individuals. B. Pack animals are faced with more risks.
C. Each species has its own culture. D. Sociability is rooted in animal behavior.
31. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Suggestions for further studies. B. Study limitations.
C. Comparisons with other findings. D. Experts ’ comments.

If the Amazon forest is to disappear, Altamira in Brazil is the town where that end could be foreseen. During the region’s development, a road was cut through the heart of the forest, marking an era of widespread destruction that remade the Amazon. Altamira thus became known in local media as the “champion of deforestation.”
Now Brazilian officials think this expansive town can also be the site of the forest’s rebirth. This year, the government set out to test a question that until now has largely been left to researchers: If left alone, can the Amazon forest restore itself To test this assumption, officials closed off a degraded parcel of land and leased (租赁) it to a private carbon credit company to safeguard and restore. “Some of the tasks will be done by planting trees. But most of the restoration job will be left to Mother Nature. It’s called passive restoration. This is opening a new model that may be applied across the state,” said Governor Barbalho.
The search for solutions in the Amazon couldn’t be more urgent. Rates of deforestation have been dropping since the government made fighting environmental crime a priority, but the destruction hasn’t stopped. Nearly 6,300 square kilometers were lost last year, bringing the ecosystem closer to what scientists warn is a tipping point, when the Amazon is no longer able to maintain its own rainy ecosystem. Evidence of its arrival is springing up: dried riverbeds, forest fires, punishing droughts, and increased tree death. Scientists have predicted the forest could experience a broad ecological collapse by 2050, when 10 — 47% of it will be exposed to various disturbances that could activate unexpected ecosystem changes.
But other research has also provided cause for hope. Despite the delicate nature of the Amazon’s ecosystem, the forest has also demonstrated a remarkable capacity for recovery. A recent study showed that roughly 72,000 square kilometers of destroyed forest are already in an advanced stage of natural recovery.
32. What do we know about Altamira from paragraph 1
A. It reshaped the Amazon area. B. It saw the rebirth of the forest.
C. It benefited from the new road. D. It headed the forest destruction.
33. What is the core belief behind passive restoration
A. Nature knows the right way. B. Companies make better guardians.
C. Tree-planting is a quicker fix. D. A hands-off government is the key.

34. What makes it critical to restore the Amazon rainforest
A. Deforestation rates are ever-rising. B. The rainy ecosystem has collapsed.
C. A point of no return is approaching. D. Spring has brought lots of disasters.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Can Private Companies Help B. Can Passive Restoration Last
C. Can Altamira Stop Deforestation D. Can Amazon Avoid Disappearing

In February 2017, I was just emerging from a decade-long struggle with a mysterious illness that had gradually narrowed my world. 36 That was an online Qi Gong course.
To the untrained eye, Qi Gong may seem similar to its better-known cousin, Tai Chi, the ancient art that combines gentle movement with mental focus. 37 It’s even integrated into treatment plans in Chinese hospitals.
My daily practice that year brought such noticeable improvements that I set myself a reward: if I stuck with it all year, I’d head to Master Anthony’s annual training camp in Costa Rica’s cloud forest the following February. 38 It was my first journey abroad in over a decade. I booked the trip to San Jose, where I met Master Anthony and a dozen strangers. We boarded a tiny bus and rode up winding mountain roads to “La Montana Azul” for a week-long camp.
39 There was no Internet or distractions here, just organic vegetarian meals shared under an open-air shelter. Forest birds sang, and my roofless room even housed a surprisingly large spider, which added a touch of unexpected adventure to the experience.
Online practice had given me slight energy movement, but that week, doing moves like Lifting the Sky, I could distinctly feel my body filling with Qi — the vital life force energy. I felt energized and joyful. That was when everything changed for me. At home, I had a successful career as a self-employed writer. 40 Soon after I returned, at 53, I launched my travel blog.
Dreams do come true. They’re just waiting for you to claim them.
A. And I did!
B. I long to explore the world.
C. The place was perfect for the camp.
D. Yet it’s actually energy medicine for recovery.
E. Many people turn to Tai Chi for its physical benefits.
F. But in the cloud forest, I decided I wanted more from life.
G. A key thing finally helped me recover during the previous year.

The sun sank behind the trees as the wildlife photographer held his camera tight, hoping to capture an image of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron. He’d 41 several disappointing hours with no luck at all. He needed a 42 soon, otherwise it would be too 43 and he would have to come back the next day and start all over again. Suddenly, to his delight, a heron 44 on a branch right in front of him. He 45 raised his camera, focused in and took the 46 just a second before the bird spread its wings and flew away.
Feeling particularly pleased with himself, the photographer looked at the image, only to make an astonishing 47 . There, in the background, easy to 48 at first sight, was another bird mid-flight: a strikingly rare woodpecker (啄木鸟), one so seldom seen that many birdwatchers spend years for just a 49 of it.
The photographer hadn’t noticed the woodpecker at all; without even 50 , he had photographed a bird much rarer than the one he’d aimed for. This unexpected 51 illustrates the concept of serendipity — the experience of 52 something extraordinary while searching for something entirely 53 .
History is often filled with such moments, from scientific breakthroughs like penicillin’s accidental finding to everyday 54 . Sometimes, the most remarkable discoveries happen not through constant 55 , but through being in the right place at the right time.

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。
Li Yue, a Chinese high school exchange student in London, felt a little nervous when Mr. White said to the class, “This Thursday, I want each of you to bring something that matters to you and share it with the class.” Li Yue sat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival would be the following Tuesday. A bright idea struck her, making her eyes light up instantly.
Thursday came quickly, and the classroom was filled with joy and laughter. Most students brought snacks and small toys to share. When it was Li Yue’s turn, she stood up, holding a beautifully decorated wooden box. She opened it gently and took out a flat, folded piece of red paper. With a few quick, skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a delicate lantern frame. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully. The gentle flame came alive, bathing the red lantern in warm light that spread throughout the classroom.
“It’s incredible! What is it ” Emma, Li Yue’s deskmate, asked eagerly. Li Yue smiled and held up the lantern, introducing the Lantern Festival, its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles and eating a kind of sweet glutinous rice (糯米) balls called yuanxiao, and how red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture. “And this year, the Lantern Festival is exactly next Tuesday,” she said.
Seeing how interested the whole class was, Mr. White walked over with a smile. “This is a wonderful way to connect different cultures,” he said to Li Yue. “Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole grade next Tuesday night I’m sure it will be fantastic.”
Li Yue nodded firmly, her face bright with excitement. “I’d love to!” she replied. The class broke into applause, but as she sat down, a little worry set in — how could she make the party fun and unforgettable

One possible version:
Dear Jenny,
I’m Li Hua, a student of our school. I’d like to share some thoughts with you regarding the low enthusiasm of students in the English corner.
I think the main reasons lie in three aspects.Firstly, the topics are a bit boring and fail to arouse students’ interest; besides, students are worried about making mistakes ,so they are reluctant to speak out. What’s worse, one-on-one conversation format makes many students feel pressured .Therefore , maybe we can try setting more interesting topics, grouping students to chat in a relaxed way, and inviting foreign teachers to guide us, so that everyone will feel free to express their ideas.
I hope my small suggestions can be helpful to you!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Li Yue realized that the key solution was getting everyone involved. She immediately started planning. She asked her Chinese friends to send traditional lantern patterns, prepared simple folding tutorials, and bought small red lantern materials. She also invited a few classmates to help decorate the venue and prepare yuanxiao for everyone . To liven up the atmosphere, she designed interactive games related to Chinese culture.
The party took place as scheduled in the school cafeteria. Colorful lanterns hung everywhere, and the sweet smell of yuanxiao filled the air. Li Yue taught everyone to fold paper lanterns and explained the meaning of each pattern. They played lantern riddle games and tasted yuanxiao together, laughing and chatting happily. Mr. White and the students spoke highly of the activity. Her worry disappeared — the party was a great success, bridging different cultures perfectly.
