21、Many universities offer summer courses, so it is not strange to believe that academic and professional growth can only occur on campus. However, making use of summer semesters to have internships (实习期) is more beneficial than having summer courses.

The question“When are we actually going to use this in real life？”is universally hated by professors. While everyone understands that mastery of the course material is necessary to pass classes, it can be difficult to see the actual application of Runge-Kutta (龙格-库塔法微积分方程) after graduation. By grasping internship opportunities during the summer semesters, college students can begin to use class material in industry settings. It is useful for students to deepen their understanding of past course material and gain a larger option for future classes.

It is unrealistic to expect 18- and 19-year-olds to know “what they want to be when they grow up.” Undergraduates often collect and get rid of majors that they're not interested in as they try to determine what they are. Internships can be a powerful tool to help students decide if their current major is truly what they are interested in. By joining the workforce, even for just a few months, students can gain knowledge from instructors outside of academia and shape their opinions about what their work may be like. This will increase the overall value of their university education and experience.

Choosing to take summertime as a break from school is momentous for post-secondary education. The “college experience” is about learning, making connections and self-discovery.Students who participate in summer internships master class material through practice, gain invaluable industry experiences and are better able to answer the typical college question, “What do you want to do after graduation?” Summer courses, while they move students closer to graduation, cannot provide fresh judgement on coursework or inform career plans.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, what does grasping internship opportunities mean?

A．Gaining a positive attitude to life.

B．Practicing class material in real life.

C．Having more time for course material.

D．Providing professors with valuable questions.

【2】What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3?

A．Choosing the right major is very important.

B．Losing a right internship opportunity means failure.

C．Internships may have a negative effect on undergraduates.

D．Internships help students know if they truly love their majors.

【3】What does the underlined word “momentous” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Risky.

B．Adorable.

C．Crucial.

D．Ridiculous.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Take advantage of the summer semester

B．Forget summer classes and get an internship

C．Tell summer courses and internships apart

D．Get out of the campus in the summer semester

22、Current digital technology gives us music of flawless quality. It also makes it easier to copy, upload and stream music without having to download it.【1】 However, as climate change is on everyone’s mind these days, the question related to music arises: Which music consumption form is worse for the environment: CDs, vinyl, or digital music? The answer might surprise you.

【2】, logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment. But must it surely be more environmentally friendly? Even though streamed music is material-free, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an environmental impact. In fact, the information is searched and sent to our electronic devices across the network, which costs energy.【3】.

Researchers found that streaming an album over the Internet will use 27 times more energy than it takes to produce a single CD or vinyl record. In any given second, the music platform is serving about 2.5 million streams at the same time. If average albums contain twelve tracks, that means almost 210, 000albums’ worth of music has been streamed. It will use nearly 8,000 times more energy than what making one CD takes. 【4】 The only extra energy required is whatever you need to power your CD player.

The study was published before Record Store Day—an event that encourages listeners to buy physical record.

【5】 Rather, they want you to think about your power use and choose services that minimise their effect on the planet. They also hope this could develop alternatives that are more sustainable without sacrificing the convenience you expect.

A．Since our digital music uses less plastic

B．This happens every time we stream music

C．As a result, streaming music becomes popular

D．Although streaming music is a greener alternative

E．Meanwhile, if you buy a CD, it’s there permanently

F．It wants to convey effects of streaming on economy

G．But the researchers aren’t advising playing music traditionally

23、   The brain, rather than our eyes, may be more important for sight, researchers studying fruit flies have discovered. The discovery could change the way we think about vision.

Researchers in the University of Virginia have found that the very simple eyes of fruit fly larva (幼虫), with only 24 total photoreceptors (感光细胞) (the human eye contains more than 125 million), provide just enough light input to allow the animal’s large brain to make that input into images. Their discovery shows that vision may be less important to “seeing” than previously thought—and in fact it is the brain’s ability to process points of light into complex images that is key.

“It blows open how we think about vision.” said Barry Condron. “This tells us that visual input may not be as important to sight as the brain working behind it.”

Condron’s graduate students, Elizabeth Daubert, Nick Macedonia and Catherine Hamilton, conducted a series of experiments to test the vision of fruit fly larvae. They found that when a larva was tied to the bottom of a dish, other larvae were attracted to it as it attempted to free itself. After several further experiments to understand how they sensed the motion, the researchers learned that the nearly blind animals likely were seeing the action.

“The answer must be in the brain of these animals.” Condron said. “They are able to take just a couple dozen points of light and then process that into recognizable images; something like when an astronomer with a small telescope is able to use techniques to improve a limited image into useful information about a star.” Condron believes the animals are able to assemble useful images by rapidly scanning their heads and, in doing so, gather up enough light points to allow the brain to compose an image clear enough to “see”.

The researchers tested this by presenting larva with a video (therefore no sound and no smell) and found that the larvae still sensed and sought out the struggling larva on the video. This provides us with a good model for trying to understand the role that the brain plays in helping organisms, including humans, to process images, such as recognizing faces.

【1】The writer mainly wants to tell us that __________.

A.the brain may be more important for sight than people thought

B.people should depend on brain rather than eyes for sight

C.using the fruit fly larva to test the eyes is the best way

D.some methods can keep our eyesight accurate and normal

【2】The researchers chose the fruit fly larva because it __________.

A.doesn’t move very quickly B.has a very wise brain

C.only has a few photoreceptors D.doesn’t have large limbs

【3】Condron used the example of “an astronomer with a small telescope” in Para. 5 to show __________.

A.how the larvae gather up enough light points

B.why the larvae moved their heads side-to-side

C.the brain helps process the light points into images

D.how we can get useful information about a star with a small telescope

【4】The underlined word “assemble” in the fifth paragraph may mean “__________”.

A.observe enough actions B.receive useful information

C.choose proper equipment D.put together separate parts

24、“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects (昆虫) as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.

Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.

We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his invented record player.”

【1】We learn from Paragraph 1 that_______.

A. American had difficulty in learning to use the word bug

B. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug

C. The word bug was still popularly used in England in the 19th century

D. Both English men and Americans used the word bug in the 18 century

【2】What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Fault.   B. Explanation.

C. Source.   D. Finding.

【3】The passage is mainly concerned with ________.

A. the misunderstanding of the word bug

B. the development of the word bug

C. the public views of the word bug

D. the special meanings of the word bug
