21、Make Your Application (申请表) Stand Out
Colleges and universities in the US receive thousands of applications every year from within the US and from countries all around the world. 【1】 How can you make yourself more memorable among these students?
Realize that “recommended” equals “required”.
The very first thing any applicant to a college should realize is that it is a competitive process.【2】 In fact, certain parts may even be presented that way in university application materials—but the reality is that anything that the university presents as “optional” or “recommended” is usually seen as “required” in the minds of admission officers.
Don’t hesitate to send in extra material.
While it used to be the case that universities would make it very clear that they would not accept extra materials, that is no longer true in most cases, and in many cases, universities will accept all kinds of materials. 【3】— but it could make the difference when you are on the borderline.
【4】
During school breaks, make sure that you are doing something that shows your academic curiosity, your initiative, and your willingness to work hard. Bonus points if your activity produces something that could be easily understood by admission offices, and if, this activity is something you’ve been doing for two or more years.
Be eager and focus on quality communication.
【5】 Answer emails without delay; send thank-you letters; and ask good and thoughtful questions. Language that might be OK when messaging your friends is certainly not the right tone when communicating with admission officers. It is likely that all of your emails go into your admission file, so you will make sure that all of it will be able to stand close examination by the admission committee.
A．One might think of many parts of the application as optional.
B．You are expected to present yourself thoroughly in the process.
C．Use your extra time wisely.
D．Communicating well will generally be to your benefit.
E．But how can you make yours stand out from the pile?
F．Make sure the language you use is formal and careful.
G．Extra materials won’t suddenly make you competitive.
22、Are you fed up with staring at a computer screen for hours straight just to review your classes? It’s a problem that many of us encounter(遭遇).So why not pick your headset and learn via a podcast?
Podcast, or boke, refers to a range of audio programs on different audio platforms. According to China Daily, podcasts have become popular among young Chinese people who would like to enjoy the peace and power of learning through sound.
Established in 2012, China’s largest online audio platform, Ximalaya saw its subscribers pass 600 million by December 2019.Among these users over 46 percent were born between 1990s and 2000s.On average, active users listen to podcasts for nearly three hours per day.
The emergence of domestic(国内的)online radio platforms and the convenience brought about by smart devices are certainly two reasons for the popularity of the format.Its flexible nature also makes it a winner among the young audience.
“Audio is a good medium for content that can break the limit of time and space,” Jiang Feng, vice-president of Ximalaya, told China Daily. He added that podcasts have become an important channel for people to acquire information and knowledge .It also can accompany listeners in many different circumstances including working ,studying, exercising, traveling and just before going to bed.
Apart from providing company, the new media form also gives people a platform to speak out about important issues.
A senior high school student who wanted to be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama failed his national college entrance examination twice. He talked about the pressure he faced on an audio program called Please Listen, launched by Mango TV on Feb 19,2020.The program was designed to relieve audiences’ worries by sharing their own stories.
Podcasts tend to be a discussion, and just like real life conversations, they follow a flexible structure and usually last for at least an hour. More often than not, you can’t summarize two or three important points from those conversations, like you could from articles. They often do not have conclusions, either. It’s a very freeform medium that is very friendly to listeners,” Pan Aijuan,a podcast listener and book editor at a publishing house, told China Daily.
At the same time, the use of podcasts trains people to first listen to others before offering one’s own opinions. It helps build up our patience and listening skills. Cheng Yanliang, a co-founder of the podcast Left and Right, stated that“ audio programs can filter（减缓）those bad-tempered people who would lose patience after reading several paragraphs and start writing awful comments to insult others”.
With such advantages,“ podcasts are entering the mainstream(主流)in China”, noted China Daily.

23、It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.
The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.
San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.
【1】What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?
A. They were treated cruelly.
B. They were abandoned in streets.
C. They received warm welcome.
D. They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.
【2】Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?
A. People should adopt the dogs and cats.
B. Animals are too cruel to humans being.
C. Government can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.
D. It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.
【3】What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. update B. replace
C. post again D. download
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. No Chinese city joins this type of movement.
B. San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.
C. Americans care about animals more than humans.
D. More and more cities are involved in animal rights.
24、With the world’s attention on vaccines (疫苗), now feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contribution to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated (接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu’s willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place.
Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey in 1717. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus (脓) from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people’s wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection.
Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated in Turkey. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors’ professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Churchmen also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.
Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.
Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice. About so years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The origin of smallpox inoculation.
B．Montagu’s first access to inoculation.
C．The benefits from smallpox inoculation.
D．Turkish women’s invention of inoculation.
【2】Montagu found it difficult to try inoculation in England because ________.
A．it was against human nature
B．it might harm doctors’ interests
C．it was beyond doctors’ abilities
D．it might shake churchmen’s belief
【3】What led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation?
A．The increased severity of smallpox infections.
B．A physician’s discovery of smallpox vaccines.
C．The result of Montagu’s daughter’s inoculation.
D．Montagu’s focus on its rewards rather than its risks.
【4】What might be the best title of the test?
A．An unsung hero
B．No limit to creation
C．Development of vaccines
D．A historic medical innovation
