21、   The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor — Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.

Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family’s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.

“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”

Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.

Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.

As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts’ academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn’t get elsewhere.

Under Bacow’s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.

【1】The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that   .

A. college education is out of reach to many Americans

B. his family changed their fate due to college education

C. few opportunities were available when his father came into the country

D. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.

B. Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.

C. Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.

D. Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.

【3】The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means   .

A. reactivating B. causing C. damaging D. taking over

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A. How to be admitted to Harvard University. B. The history of Bacow’s family.

C. The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts. D. Bacow’s way to individual success.

22、

Bacteria are the one of the main food poisoners. So, to get food on the table safely, you need to know and follow the rules for food care.

KEEP FOOD HOT

High food temperatures (165°F to 212°F) reached in boiling, baking, frying, and roasting kill most food poisoning bacteria. If you want to delay serving cooked food, though, you have to keep it at a holding temperature - roughly 140°F to 165°F. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don’t always keep food hot enough. So it’s not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours.

When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply.

To serve hot foods safely - particularly meat and poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning - follow these rules:

• Cook thoroughly - Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone.

• Don’t interrupt cooking - Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete.

• Cooking frozen food - Allow frozen food more time to cook - generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has been thawed (解冻).

【1】At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest?

A．40ºC~ 60ºC.

B．60ºF~125ºF.

C．40ºC~ 140ºC.

D．125ºF~140ºF.

【2】To keep food safe, it is suggested that ______.

A．hot food should not be left out over two hours.

B．frozen food should be thawed with a microwave oven.

C．raw ham should be cooked to the “doneness” temperature at 71ºF.

D．steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough.

【3】What can be learned according to the guideline?

A．The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough.

B．High food temperatures above 74ºC destroy most poisoning bacteria.

C．Compared with goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures.

D．Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature.

23、Tips on How to Survive the Exam Season

When it comes to the exam season, a lot of you may feel stressed, depressed or even want to escape. Here we have pieces of advice to help you get it through.

【1】

During the semester, going to lectures and taking a lot of notes are the first steps in the learning process. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took during the week and run through your notes quickly,【2】 If yes, great. If not, you have a lot of time left to understand before the exams take place. You can ask a friend, a teacher, you can look it up on the Internet or go to a library. This takes a little effort, but the results are great.

Switch between different types of revision.

【3】 Something that really helps is to plan different types of active studying while revising. You can, for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on the summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.

Make the facts more relatable.

There are many different ways to do so. I'm going to give you two examples and the first one is to create vivid images, which can be really helpful for studying history.【4】 The second is to make yourself familiar with new words by looking for words that look alike in other languages.

Teach and learn outside of the classroom.

In my experience, teaching is the most efficient way of studying. By explaining the materials to yourself or to someone else, you'll remember them a lot better.【5】 The idea is to sit down and take turns explaining certain topics of the study material.

Test yourself with past papers.

At the end of the whole study process, you should prepare yourself to do past papers properly. Time yourself, don't cheat, and mark it as if it were your real exam. Pay attention to the mistakes and revise the part you didn't do well on until you can't get it wrong any more.

A. Prepare yourself in advance.

B. Make sure to be tough on yourself.

C. Even if you are motivated to study, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours of studying.

D. While doing this, constantly ask yourself, "Do I understand what I am reading？"

E. Ask your parents or other family members to act as students and listen to your explanation.

F. Try to imagine how the events took place and this allows you to remember certain details more accurately.

G. Look for a study buddy or small study group, and discuss everything you have studied before the exam.

24、Even if you aren't into artificial intelligence, it's time to pay attention to ChatGPT, because this one is a big deal. ChatGPT is an Al chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful Al system can accomplish.

ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models. It lets you type natural-language prompts and then offers conversational responses. It remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It finds relevant information in its oceans of training data, and converts that into plausible-sounding paragraphs of text.

You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that's useful. For example. you can ask it encyclopedia questions like. "Explain Newton's laws of motion. " You can tell it. “Write me a poem. " and when it does. say. "Now make it more exciting. ” You can ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.

A few days after its launch. more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January. accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.

Many people fear that ChatGPT might help students cheat better. But as with many other technology developments. it's not a simple black-and-white situation. Decades ago. students could copy encyclopedia entries and use calculators. and more recently. they've been able to usesearch engines and Wikipedia. ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with researeh to doing your homework for you outright.

Dustin York. an associate professor of commination at Maryville University. hopes educators will learn to use ChatGPT as a tool and realize it can help students think critically.

" Educators" thought that Google, Wikipedia, and the Internet itself would ruin education, but they did not. "York said. "What worries me most are educators who may actively try to discourage the acknowledgment of Al like ChatGPT. It is a tool, not a villain. "
