21、Crossing the pedestrian bridge that connects our school to its surrounding neighborhood reminds us that there's more to Rochester than just our school. 【1】 By staying on campus all the time, we limit ourselves to just feeling like students and not people. Here's a list of things we can do around Rochester whenever we see it again.
【2】 It's a big, wide open produce market that happens every Saturday on Union Street. They sell flowers, vegetables, fruits, and clothing, and there are a few restaurants and coffee shops along the alleyway. Often, they have live music, and once I watched a friend play their saxophone there in front of the grape stand.
Study somewhere else besides school. Go to a coffee shop, or one of the public libraries. I like the music library at Eastman, and the coffee shop across the street, Java's. Rochester is full of cafes and spots to sit and study. 【3】
Go to a concert, if you're into that. The Little Theater has free live music every single night, and there's a variety of other bars and music halls that bring in local artists. Most venues offer shows for less than $10. 【4】 That's my favorite. Those guys are crazy, and watching them play their instruments is like being transported into a strange, shimmering world of classical music.
Go for more walks. When you're stuck, listen to music and roam around our campus. Sit under a tree and look at all the people walking by. Or take one of the shuttles that stop in front of the library to a new neighborhood, like the South Wedge, and float in and out of the small businesses along the street. Or, if you know somebody with a car, go to Letchworth and see the waterfalls. 【5】
A．Go to the Live Music.
B．Go to the Public Market.
C．But how often do we cross that bridge?
D．No matter what it is, going outside always helps.
E．If you can focus outside of our own library, do it.
F．Additionally, all student concerts at Eastman are free for students at our school.
G．It's no secret that our college campus, like the majority of campuses, is a bubble.
22、 When I had my first baby, after battling being unable to produce babies for three years, I received a gift at the hospital with a note: “To Jonathan-we're so glad you're here.” I've always remembered that note-and the person who sent it. My heartache and fear that I'd never have a child had been swept away and I felt a great joy. That little note made me feel that someone else understood my happiness, Oddly enough, she was not a close friend. But at that moment, we shared a special bond.
I learned that day that there's nothing like a personal note. In this age of impersonal technology, of computers and recorded voices on telephones, the hand-written note makes a human connection. And not just to the receiver, but to the writer as well. It feels good to express your sincere thoughts. When you put pen to paper, very important feelings slip out, feelings that you might ordinarily keep to yourself. This is especially true with emotions such as, “I love you,” or “You're important to me,” that may seem embarrassing to actually say.
Some of the best notes are written by children, precisely because kids are so open and honest. They're able to express powerful emotions in simple ways, as my young son did one Valentine's Day: “This comes from the heart, not from the store,” he wrote on his homemade card, anxious lest I mistake it for one mere money can buy. On another occasion, he scrawled, “Happy birthday—I'm glad you're my Mom!”
Notes from youngsters are very special, especially if the receiver is seriously ill. When a70-year-old man suffered a heart attack, his eight-year-old grandson wrote, “Please get well, Grandpa. Who else will play cards with me? Who will tell me stories? I love you, Grandpa.” Did this note help his Grandpa recover in record time? Doctors might not think so, but I do.
【1】“A special bond” (in paragraph1) is brought about by ________.
A．the author's first baby
B．the author's battling unproductiveness
C．the person working in the hospital
D．the note the author received
【2】Which of the following is true about the author's attitude according to the passage?
A．Children's notes are better than any of others due to their openness and honesty.
B．Notes from youngsters are especially memorable to their parents and grandparents.
C．To mark the special times of a life, nothing can take the place of a heartfelt note.
D．It feels powerful to voice your genuine ideas by recorded voices on telephones.
【3】The word “scrawled” (in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.
A．signed
B．wrote
C．answered
D．exchanged
【4】It can be concluded from the passage that the author intends to ________.
A．advise readers to use the hand-written note for human connection
B．give readers some tips on how to choose words on hand-written notes
C．encourage senior people to pay attention to kids' hand-written notes
D．persuade readers to take pen in hand and express their happiness
23、Aeronautics (航空学) specialists from the University of South Australia spent months studying the dragonfly’s flight, creating 3D models from digital images, to build a winged drone (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drones based on the dragonfly’s shape and movement will simply be more flexible and energy efficient.
Chahl’s team used a special photography technique to classify the wing shapes of 75 different dragonfly species from museum collections. Their wings are long, light and hard. Plus, their long bodies give them excellent stability and balance, making it possible for winged drones to deliver awkward loads and undertake long observation missions.
Investigating the way that dragonflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use to get themselves out of tricky situations. Dragonflies are found to be able to perform upside-down backflips to regain balance and normal flight, when they find themselves upside down mid-air. This special skill can even be performed while dragonflies are unconscious, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in concept to planes that are designed to glide to safety with their engines turned off. Engineers are looking to copy dragonfly wings to create safer drones that can right themselves.
Of course, not all attempts to build dragonfly-like drones are successful. TechJet’s air vehicle was supposed to operate as an aerial camera, observation and security drone, but it failed before production got underway. Similarly, Insectothopter, an American dragonfly spy drone built in the 1970 s was deserted.
Yet the principles behind winged drones are solid. In fact, NASA has settled on a nuclear-powered autonomous craft called Dragonfly to explore the surface of Saturn’s moon Titan in 2034. NASA’s project is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drone, but engineers are still convinced they can crack the code of nature’s most gifted flying insect and revolutionize unmanned flight along the way.
【1】Why did aeronautics specialists spend months studying the dragonfly’s flight?
A．To build 3D models from digital images.
B．To make winged drones modelled after it.
C．To clarify the flexibility and efficiency of drones.
D．To display the shape and movement of the dragonfly.
【2】The special skill of dragonflies is their ability to_________.
A．glide to safety
B．avoid tricky situations
C．perform observation tasks
D．adjust themselves to stay stable
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards winged drones?
A．Skeptical.
B．Uncertain.
C．Supportive.
D．Conservative.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Winged Drones: Still a Long Way to Go
B．Javaan Chahl: An Innovative Leader of Aeronautics
C．A Dragonfly’s Flying Technique: Perfect for Drones
D．The Code of Nature: A Solution to NASA’s Space Exploration
24、Learn to Cite Sources (引用资料)
During your university education, you’ll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. 【1】 That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor’s evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. 【2】
Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the readers’ side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. 【3】 On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader’s doubt.
So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism (抄袭) . 【4】 If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!
【5】 For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.
A．Some university students may cheat in different ways.
B．These include other scholars’ ideas, figures, graphs and so on.
C．The academic challenge you face is to make something original.
D．Often, students want to use others’ opinions to support their own essays.
E．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the research.
F．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectations.
G．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior.
