21、How to Graduate from College with a High GPA(Grade Point Average)
One Hour a Day
One of the most challenging things about college is time management. It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you will make use of the power of the subconscious(下意识)to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams.
Select Easy Courses
The reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework become more challenging.
Join (or Form) Study Groups
If you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.
Use Personal Development
I can honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very differently.
If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career.
【1】According to the passage, managing your time wisely leads to __________.
A. sitting up late before exams
B. spending less time each day
C. mastering what you learn in an easy way
D. benefiting from the notes
【2】Group study is meant to let the students ___________.
A. study effectively
B. get along well with one another
C. practice solving problems
D. study independently
【3】The winter attached least importance to ___________ when he was at college.
A. reviewing his lessons one hour a day
B. selecting easier courses to learn
C. involving a study group led by senior students
D. applying personal development techniques
【4】From the passage we can infer that _____________.
A. every college student is to get a high GPA when graduated
B. personal development is that most important techniques of the 4 steps
C. the earlier you choose easy courses, the better performance you’ll have
D. the fist school year’s success plays an important role in your college career
22、In the near 2050, dining at your favorite restaurant is likely to be an altogether different experience.
For your starter, you’ll tuck into a delicious Caesar salad containing protein-rich mealworms instead of chicken. Next, your android waiter 2.0 will bring over the mouth-watering main course; a meaty burger that has been grown in a Petri dish (有盖培养皿), decorated with crisp lettuce freshly picked from an underground farm and juicy tomato that has been genetically modified to contain extra vitamins. Then, if you still have room for dessert, you’ll be able to choose from a range of sweet treats that have been designed on a computer and printed directly onto the plate.
These unconventional dishes may seem stomach-churning to us now, but in the future they could help to solve a global food crisis. Over the next 35 years, the world’s population is expected to exceed nine billion, meaning an extra two billion hungry mouths to feed. To fulfill this demand, the amount of food we grow will need to increase by 70 percent, but with most of the planet’s farmland already being used, and billions of its inhabitants already undernourished, this is going to be a major challenge.
Today’s global food industry is already unsustainable, with agriculture responsible for almost a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. From the nitrous oxide given off by crop fertilizers, to the carbon dioxide generated as the produce is transported around the world, these gases area trapping heat in the atmosphere and gradually warming the surface. In turn, the changing climate makes it difficult to grow more crops, and so scientists will need to step in more and more to help. By genetically modifying the plants we grow, not only can the more vulnerable species be made able to withstand harsher, inhospitable environment, but the hardier species that can survive could also be made more nutritious to ensure we all get vitamins and minerals we need.
Although growing fruit and vegetables generates a great deal of greenhouse gas, it is livestock production that is the biggest contributor to global emissions. As demand for meat grows, so does the list of negative consequences for our planet, so something needs to be done very soon. Of course, one simple solution to the problem is to eat less meat, but for a mostly carnivorous (食肉的) global population, this idea is unlikely to catch on. Therefore, tasty alternatives need to be found, and idea of what we consider to be meat may need to change too.
Instead of packets and tins, your local supermarket will sell ingredients in cartridges that you can load into your 3D printer at home. Then, with a press of a button, you can sit back and relax while the machine builds a delicious dish —layer by layer — that is sure to impress your dinner party guests.
【1】In the future restaurant, ________might be served according to the passage.
A.beef burgers without calories
B.delicious vegetarian dishes
C.popular hand-made cakes
D.bread made using insect flour
【2】The reason why we may adopt unconventional dishes is __________.
A.to provide nutrition for people around the world
B.to decrease the farmlands being used in the planet
C.to balance food supply and demand
D.to feed the extra two billion hungry mouths
【3】Which of the following is correct regarding the relationship between food and climate?
A.crops cultivation→gas emission→climate changes→more crops
B.genetical modification→better adaptability→more nutrition
C.livestock→minor influence→less consequence→remain unchanged
D.less meat lovers→more tasty choices→more food changes
【4】What might be discussed in the paragraphs following the last one?
A.Hi-tech farms.
B.Lab-grown meat.
C.Genetically modified food.
D.3D-printd meals.

24、It’s late at night, the weather is bad, and you’re hungry. Your favorite restaurant is a mile away, but you don’t want to leave the house, and you don’t want to pay a $5 delivery fee and a tip for a $10 meal.
So, what can you do?
Back in the old days, you would have to go in the rain or learned to plan ahead. But those days are coming to an end, at least in Washington DC.
About 20 knee-high robots recently have appeared on the sidewalks of the nation’s capital, and they’re out to bring takeout food from restaurants to hungry customers at home—while keeping the delivery cost to just a dollar.
Each of the robots seems like a box on sixwheels, and drives at an average speed of 4 miles per hour. It has lights and a tall and bright orange flag to make it more noticeable on the sidewalk.
The robot relies on artificial intelligence technology that draws input from nine cameras, GPS and sensors. The cameras recognize a lot—including traffic lights, crosswalks and stop signs. If a robot finds itself in a situation it doesn’t understand, all the machine has to do is send a call for help. Then a human operator in a remote control center can look through the cameras and figure out the best action to take. That camera also provides security. If someone tries to steal the robot, for example, the cameras can photograph the thief.
Law-makers in Washington DC, Virginia, Florida and Idaho have already started to make such self-driving robots legal on the sidewalks. Other states have also expressed interest.
“Robots like these will complete deliveries that normally wouldn’t have been placed with the human-based delivery options of the past,” one of the law-makers says, “But we have to be sure that they are not going to put people out of jobs.”
【1】How much should you pay for a $10 meal delivered by robots?
A.$10.
B.$1l.
C.$15.
D.$17.
【2】Which paragraph mainly focuses on the robots’ appearances?
A.Paragraph 3.
B.Paragraph 4.
C.Paragraph 5.
D.Paragraph 6.
【3】What are the law-makers worried about?
A.The robots’ reliability.
B.The safety of the passers-by.
C.The high delivery costs.
D.The possible unemployment.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Technology.
B.Advertisement.
C.Law.
D.Politics.

26、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。
One day, my elder brother and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going with other fishermen. All at once, the sky over our heads was covered, with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. Strangely, it seemed that the storm struck us only. I could clearly see that the sun shone brightly in the area not far away.
With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool (旋涡). Other fishermen were in a very distant area without noticing what we were experiencing. We shouted for help but in vain. We were hopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool. It may appear strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing a thing it was lo die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed. I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool- trees and barrels (桶子). After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

So I tied myself to a barrel and jumped into the sea.
