22、I don’t realize that I’ve been at college for nearly one and half year until now. Looking back into the last year, what shall I say? It consisted of both happiness and sadness. Life always goes like this, up and down, as is so exciting. Now when I recall the past, no matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.
That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out after we entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well-known and was also a wonderful place to watch the moon. After getting all the food and drinking ready, we four girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we picked up a less crowded beach. At first, we enjoyed ourselves by drinking and eating. When the moon turned brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we were all drenched with water. Bathing in the moonlight, we ran and laughed. We seemed to land on another world, where was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The laughter is still echoing (回响) on my mind so far.
Life doesn’t stay the same, occasionally having a particular taste. That is sadness. What impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the first time I had given a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people. I was so nervous that the whole song was performed out of tune. As you could imagine, I was greeted with boos from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I felt that moment and I sat alone crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother about it. She told me that it was not a failure; at least, I was brave enough to show myself publicly.
Everything has passed. I’ve stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the second grade already. Yet much needs me to challenge. On the way, there’s both happiness and distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.

23、
New York University (NYU) is one of the best universities in the United States and it has just opened a school in Shanghai in partnership with East China Normal University(ECNU). The arrival of the American university on China mainland is an example of what is being called the “globalization” of education and it is hoped that this trend will influence the quality of education in all of China’s universities by raising the standard of teaching.
NYU Shanghai’s class of 2017(students will graduate in 2017) is made up of 295 students from China, America and other countries. The students will study liberal arts courses for two years before choosing a major and when they graduate, they will receive a degree from NYU and a degree from ECNU. All the classes will be taught in English, using the teaching methods in American universities. Students will be pushed to take risks in the classroom, pushed to speak up and pushed to say things that are not completely correct, which can make them understand that it’s OK for them to make mistakes in class.
This style of learning will be challenging for many Chinese students, because they will be mixed with the foreign students both in the classroom and in the dormitory. Living and studying with foreigners day to day will provide Chinese students with a cultural as well as academic education and it’s hoped that this cross-cultural experience will benefit them when they seek jobs in the competitive global market.
China’s interest in partnering with foreign universities comes at a time when western universities are trying to expand. They realize that information, technology and business are now borderless; they also realize education should be borderless too. This trend will have a deep effect on bringing the world closer together and the students at NYU Shanghai should be excited to be on the leading edge of this trend.
【1】The opening of NYU Shanghai class may help _________.
A. improve the quality of China’s university education
B. prove that NYU is the best university in the United States
C. send more Chinese students to foreign universities
D. raise the standard of teaching in American university
【2】What is the NYU Shanghai’s class like?
A. It offers the same courses as NYU does in the US.
B. It’s hard to follow the classes without knowing English.
C. The students are majoring in liberal arts courses.
D. Only two-year courses will be provided in this class.
【3】 How should the students perform in the classroom?
A. They must express themselves correctly.
B. They should try to be active in the class.
C. They will learn something dangerous.
D. They have to correct their mistakes.
【4】 What can be inferred from Paragraph3?
A. More foreign students will work in Shanghai after graduation.
B. Chinese students will get a better education than foreign students.
C. It may be easier for the students to find jobs after graduation.
D. No foreign students can benefit from the cross-cultural experience.
【5】Why are the western universities trying to expand?
A. Because they want to get more information and more money.
B. Because they want to improve their technology.
C. Because Shanghai is on the leading edge in China.
D. Because they think the education resources should be shared.
24、At any given moment, about seven microliters of tears are present in each of our eyes-about one-tenth of a drop of waste. You might think they’re nothing more than salt water, but they deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes, removing waste, and are signs of some diseases. This means that doctors and maybe, in the near future, you can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.
Studies have already shown that markers of many serious diseases, such as cancer, can be found in tears. Recently, a technology named TearExo has been developed to screen for breast cancer using tears collected by patients themselves. This would greatly reduce the cost of testing and help detect the serious disease earlier.
Tear testing could also have an impact on COVID-19: current research has been focusing on developing a test to detect SARS-COV-2 infections (感染) as well as document previous infections, through antibody testing. These tests are typically done with blood—but nucleic acid (核酸) can be detected in tears as well, and antibodies to the virus may also be detected in tears. That means a quick and inexpensive tear test that doesn’t require a needle could be developed in the near future.
But the potential advantages of tears as health signs go beyond occasional testing. One promising tear-based technology is smart contact lenses (隐形眼镜) that continuously monitor a patients biomarkers, significantly improving disease prevention and early detection, which has already attracted the attention of some major companies like Google, and is currently being developed in research laboratories around the world.
One significant step in its development was the first stand-alone contact lenses with an integrated battery, in 2019. More recently, smart contact lenses have been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (糖尿病视网膜病变). Such a product probably won’t be ready for market for several years. But according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 45 million people in the U.S already wear contact lenses to correct their vision. It would be simple for them to use a smart version.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears. Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use way to health monitoring. Given the advantages of tear technology, such technology would certainly lead to more effective disease prevention — rather than having to deal with the difficulties of treating them.
【1】What can the technology TearExo be used for?
A.Detecting breast cancer more accurately.
B.Helping to detect breast cancer earlier.
C.Saving time in breast cancer detection.
D.Reducing the pain of breast cancer.
【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The widespread uses of tears.
B.The latest nucleic acid testing method.
C.Advantages of detecting nucleic acid in tears.
D.Potential applications of tears in nucleic acid testing.
【3】What can be inferred about the smart contact lenses?
A.They have a promising future.
B.They can protect patients’ eyes.
C.They monitor eyesight continuously.
D.They can be bought now on the market.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The role tears play in the eyes.
B.Tears contain high levels of chemicals.
C.Eyes say something about your health.
D.Your tears might save your life someday.
