Stage 3: External Appeal Process
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of a Stage 2: Formal Review Process, you may refer the case to an external body for an independent review (see section 9 of the Complaints and Appeals Policy).
If you start with an external appeal, so that your enrolment can be maintained during the appeal process, you must inform us in writing by emailing complainsandconduct @ unswglobal. unsw edu.au.

23、 It is easy to understand the difference between some homophones(同音异形异义词). But other homophones are difficult, even for native English speakers. One set of commonly confusing homophones are the words bear and bare.
Of course, as a noun, a bear is a large, heavy animal with thick hair and sharp claws. But the word bear can also be a verb. It can mean “to accept or get through something,” usually something difficult. The verb bear is often used with the modal verb can and a negation(否定). Using this structure, “cannot bear” sometimes means “strongly dislike.” If you travel to a very cold place in the middle of winter, you might say, “I cannot bear the cold weather.” Bear can also mean “to assume or accept something, such as a cost or responsibility.” For example, “The man must bear full responsibility for his actions.” Bear can also sometimes mean “to carry.” For example, Americans often talk about the “right to bear arms” or the right of citizens to possess a gun. Sometimes, people make jokes about this expression. They replace the meaning of bear in this example with its meaning as a noun. The phrase then means that people have a right to possess a bear’s arm.
Bare is mostly used as an adjective. It means “not having a covering” or “not covered by clothing, shoes or something else.” If you just moved to a new home, the walls could still be bare. And, if you take your shoes and socks off before entering a room, you will have bare feet. As a verb, bare is similar to its adjectival meaning. To bare means “to remove the covering from something.” It can also mean “to show or expose.” For example, an angry animal might bare its teeth. The past tense of bare is bared.
【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A.Introducing the homophones.
B.Analyzing the homophones.
C.Introducing the topic of the passage.
D.Telling the differences between bear and bare.
【2】How many meanings does the word bear have when it is a verb?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
【3】What does he want to tell us if someone says he has the right to possess a bear’s arm?
A.He has the right to get an arm of a bear. B.He has the right to sell a bear’s arm.
C.He has the right to kill a bear. D.He has the right to have a gun.
【4】What might the animal decide to do when it bares its teeth?
A.It might attack a person.
B.It might show his respect for people.
C.It might want to have a covering.
D.It might remove the covering from its body.
24、 British shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated €30 billion worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe. But new technology could see the end of that, with the garments (衣服) themselves reminding the owners of their existence.
“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting (发推文) us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.
Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the connected “wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (贴标签), using washable contactless technology.
Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn’t know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’ of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper. ”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things” —a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners, “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.
【1】What does the author say about “smart clothes”?
A．They may be donated on eBay.
B．They have gained in popularity.
C．They give warnings if worn out.
D．They may be recycled if long forgotten.
【2】How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?
A．It helps people buy clothes at reasonable prices.
B．It changes people’s shopping habits.
C．It contributes to right consumption attitude.
D．It improves shoppers’ confidence.
【3】What is suggested in the last paragraph?
A．The Internet is a platform to share items.
B．Weather affects the connected wardrobe.
C．Clothes are sold online at a low price.
D．Clothes can be a source of information.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the new technology?
A．Critical.
B．Uninterested.
C．Approving.
D．Skeptical.
25、A recent series of studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. They focused on three different sports: World Cup soccer, professional basketball, and professional baseball. The results are mixed. For soccer and basketball, the studies revealed that adding talented players to a team is indeed a (n) _______ strategy, but only up to a point. Performance _______ when about 70% of the players were considered top talent. Above that level, the team’s performance began to decline. Interestingly, this trend was not evident in baseball, where additional _______ talent continued to enhance the team’s performance. (Figure 1 and 2)
In looking for an explanation for the different results for different sports, the researchers _______one important factor — the extent to which a good performance by a team required its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. This task _______ distinguishes baseball from basketball and soccer.
In baseball, the performance of individual players is _______ teammates than in soccer and basketball. The researchers concluded that when, during the course of play, task interdependence is high, team performance will _______ when there is too much talent in the group. When task interdependence is lower, _______ individual talent will have a positive effect on team performance.
One explanation for this phenomenon is not so far from the pecking order (等级排序) situation among chickens. If a basketball star is pursuing his own personal goals,_______ trying to gather a high personal point total, he may be less ________ than team player. He may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a team mate, thus making the team’s overall performance suffer. “There is no________in TEAM,” young children learning to play team sports are often told. Apparently stars ________ follow this basic principle of sportsman ship.
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may begin to________ This is referred to as the Ringelmann effect. Ringelmann conducted an experiment in which he asked two, three, four, and up to 28 people to participate in a game of tug-of-war. He measured how much force each person used to pull the rope. He found that whenever he added a person to the team, everyone else pulled with less force.

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。
On February 4, while working on a construction site in Gratiot County, Michigan, Hansen heard terrified screams coming from nearby. He stopped his work and looked up. Standing on the back porch(门廊) of the home next door was a little boy yelling “Help!” while four fierce dogs barked madly in a circle below him.
At first, Hansen thought it was just a dog fight. Then alarm bells went off in his head. “The noises they made sounded like what dogs do when they’re killing something,” he says. His thought proved right when another young boy suddenly popped up in the middle of the dogs, and Hansen watched in horror as they sank in their teeth and threw him across the grass like a small doll.
“He was shirtless and covered in blood, and those dogs were trying to kill him.” says Hansen.
Hansen raced across the grass, jumped the fence, and landed in the neighbor’s yard. He shouted at the dogs, but they ignored him. Then he displayed the most aggression that he could manage, yelling louder until they let go just long enough for Hansen to catch eight-year-old Ethan Nokes around the stomach and bear-hug him. “I couldn’t hold him under his armpits(腋窝), which would have made it easier to run, because they were torn wide open,” says Hansen.
As Hansen dashed across the yard, the dogs bounced on him, biting at Ethan. Hansen rushed onto the steps. So did the dogs. When he reached the top, he pulled on a door; it wouldn’t open. “A dog grabbed Ethan’s foot, and I thought they were going to get him back from me,” he says.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hansen tried a second door. It sprang open.
