21、   Hacking isn't just for computers and smart-phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant's genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.

Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants' genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.

Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant's genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 12 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.

The new study sped up the process by changing the plant's genes. The protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 12 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.

Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made sense, but cautioned the yield (产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. "Still," she added in an email, "this study remains a breakthrough."

【1】Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?

A.We can find hacking only in digital devices.

B.A plant's genes can be changed by hacking.

C.Hacking has been used in improving food production.

D.Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.

【2】Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?

A.Because they are very easy to get.

B.Because their genes are easy to change.

C.Because they are larger than other plants.

D.Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.

【3】What do we know about photosynthesis?

A.It helps plants to produce energy.

B.It is regarded as a productive system for plants.

C.It can increase leaf growth on plants by 12 percent.

D.It is made up of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

【4】We can learn from paragraph 4 that changing the plants' genes proved_______.

A.Useless B.deadly

C.effective D.unrealistic

22、Four famous classic Italian writers

When speaking of Italian literature, many people come up with Dante. But there are many other famous Italian authors. Below are four recommended writers and their masterpieces.

Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533)

Ariosto is best known for his epic (史诗般的) poem Orlando Furioso, which was published in 1977. As a poet always with new ideas, Ariosto invented the way of “singing the poem to the audience”. The poem presents a rich variety of characters, which has been an encouragement for many paintings and musical works.

Italo Calvino (1923-1985)

Calvino was the author of If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler published in 1979. The novel differs from others for its unique description of a frame story - a unifying story within which several tales are related. It has encouraged musicians like Sting to create their works. At the time of his death in 1985, Calvino was one of the world’s most translated Italian writers.

Umberto Eco (1932-2016)

Eco wrote The Name of the Rose, a historical murder mystery (神秘) novel published in 1980. In the story, he skilfully applied the use of signs and symbols to it. A number of his books deal with the meaning and understanding of communication.

Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873)

Manzoni is most famous for his novel The Betrothed published in 1827. The novel was regarded to be connected with Risorgimento, the Italian unification movement(统一运动) in the 19th century. Probably we can say, without this great novelist and this masterpiece of world literature, Italy wouldn’t be Italy.

【1】What do Orlando Furioso and If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler have in common?

A．They have both influenced musical works.

B．They both have related characters and stories.

C．They were both published in the same year.

D．They are both translated into many languages.

【2】What can readers probably find in The Name of the Rose?

A．A unique describing style.

B．A mix of new ideas.

C．The use of signs and symbols.

D．The history of a movement.

【3】Whose work is related to the formation of a united country?

A．Ludovico Ariosto.

B．Italo Calvino.

C．Umberto Eco.

D．Alessandro Manzoni.

23、Welcome to UCLA Exchange Program! Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey!

Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language)

ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you.

Changing Your Course Enrollment List

You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it.

Withdrawing from Courses

If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record.

Taking Exams

Some instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve,   making them available to all students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask questions and what they regard as relevant material. You can also access the exams online.

【1】Exchange students can enroll in the ESL course if they ________.

A．have done well in the placement test

24、There are times in life when the going becomes so tough that it feels like the end of your story.

【1】 But we eventually overcome the adversities(逆境) in our path and emerge out of the other end. Here are some of the most practical ways of dealing with adversities.

Remind yourself of past victories(胜利)

【2】 We have all gone through seemingly unbeatable challenges and emerged out of the other end. And yet, each time a new adversity surfaces, we completely forget about the above truth. It is this that makes the going tougher than it needs to be. Therefore, when you are faced with a tough situation, simply remind yourself of your past victories. 【3】

Give yourself time to process

When a challenge suddenly shows up, you might feel like the ground has disappeared from underneath your feet. Obviously, in times like these, you are bound to feel confused, terrified and a whole host of other emotions. This is completely normal. 【4】 In times like these, you should give yourself time to process the events. Once you have gathered yourself, you can then try and find solutions. If you need to take a break from your regular routine, that’s completely okay!

Be disciplined

I can’t stress enough how important discipline is in life in general. And when it comes to dealing with challenges, it becomes even more relevant. Discipline will keep you going forward even when you want to quit. 【5】 If you are wondering what that looks like, well, study the lives of soldiers. Learn about how they keep going in the midst of a war. That should open up your eyes to the significance of this must-have quality.

A．Every adversity comes with an opportunity.

B．In fact, you shouldn’t hold back your feelings.

C．That will give you some ideas and motivation to keep going on.

D．It is the single most effective quality to deal with difficult times.

E．It might seem like there is no getting out in such difficult periods.

F．A wise person once said, “Even the darkest night gives way to dawn.”

G．This point is about preparing yourself before an adversity event shows up.
