22、My dearest son and daughter,

The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing (起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter. Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.

There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.

First, it’s natural for parents and children to argue. I can guarantee that we will disagree. One or both of you will, at some point, scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me. And I won’t always like you, either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus, even when I’m so angry. We are family. That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh, blood and bones in our body. And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.

Second, I’ll be honest, no matter how far apart we are on your life choices, your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education. But that doesn’t mean you deserve it. To be clear, that is a privilege we happily extend (给予) to you—not a right you are born with. And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege. Growing up is hard work.

If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two, and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to.

Love always,

Mom

【1】The mother writes this letter because she wants her children to ______.

A. be prepared for education

B. learn a lesson from the case

C. take up the legal profession

D. remember Rachel Canning

【2】When in disagreement, the mother expects her children not to ______.

A. guarantee anything

B. scream out their anger

C. break the family bond

D. forget their best interests

【3】The mother thinks of parents’ paying for their children’s higher education as ______.

A. a way in which children realize their dreams

B. a test of whether parents love their children

C. a privilege that children should earn

D. a right that parents are born with

23、A solid memory gives us the foundation to learn better, faster and remember important information, and just as we can strengthen the muscle in our bodies, we can train our brains to remember more.

They focus on one thing at a time.【1】 However, people with exceptional memories know multitasking splits their focus too much. They know the value of focusing on one task and seeing that task through to completion. By taking in less information at a time, you are better able to get meaning, develop knowledge, and make better connections.

【2】 Our memories are formed by more than just sight. The more senses we use in learning something, the more of our brain will be involved in retaining the memory. The next time you’re consciously trying to form a memory, try to commit the sight, sound, smell, texture, and taste of the moment, event, or circumstance to your mind.

They know when to give their brains a break. We routinely plug our smartphones and fitness watches into chargers to keep their batteries charged and to keep the devices functioning well. In the age of information overload, it’s worth remembering that our smartphones aren’t the only thing that needs a regular recharge.【3】People with good memories know when to turn themselves off and let their brains and bodies have time to download new data.

All in all, you can train your brain to have an impressive memory.【4】Increasing your overall health with better sleep and regular exercise can also improve your brain health. 【5】

A．They use all their senses.

B．Our minds clearly do too.

C．They establish a complete memory.

D．In other words, we give everything in our lives a chance to rest.

E．Modern life makes multitasking seem like a normal way of doing things.

F．People with good memories develop their memories in these practical ways.

G．Practical ideas for processing information can improve how your memory works.

24、My Ph.D. adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my third attempt, which meant dismissal from the program. How was it possible that one exam — one hour of my life — could define me as unfit to be a scientist?

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D. program. I struggled with my classes during my first year, spending countless hours studying in the library. I ended that year with increased confidence. But soon my confidence went when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam. I had switched research projects 5 months earlier, after my first adviser left the university, so I wasn’t so confident going into the exam. Besides, I had never taken an oral exam before, so the experience was terrifying.

Once it was over, my committee told me I’d conditionally passed, which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further. I was shaken but still hopeful. But when I retook the exam, I failed again. That’s when I was told I’d have one more chance.

For the next 5 months, I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions. I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations. I was all in.

When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I’d failed. I speak Spanish at home, but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish. This hampered my ability to comfortably speak the expected “language of science.”

My adviser requested to reinstate (恢复) me to the Ph.D. program, and I’m now back to working on my doctorate. I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I’m not good enough. But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be. I am much more than that one-hour exam.

【1】How did the author feel by the end of the first year?

A．Confident.

B．Terrified.

C．Worn out.

D．At a loss.

【2】Why did the author switch her research project?

A．She found it too hard for her.

B．Her adviser dismissed her from it.

C．She failed the qualifying exam.

D．Her adviser no longer worked there.

【3】What affected her performance in the third exam?

A．Lack of preparation.

B．Decreased confidence.

C．Insufficient language skills.

D．Too much time on lab work.

【4】Which word best describe the author?

A．Intelligent.

B．Sensitive.

C．Energetic.

D．Determined.

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。

Young kids, especially boys, love to jump things. As I grew, a mechanical tool was added to my ever growing love of jumping — the bike. We built different ramps (坡道) to build up speed before being launched air for free-flying fun. With all the ramps we created, nothing could have prepared any of us for “The Monster”.

One morning, I headed out to my friend’s home. Just the night before I had the back tire of my bike broken. Luckily, I had a backup in my sister’s smaller, lighter bike “Pinky” because she didn’t ride as much.

On the way, I heard my name yelled out. It was Nick, together with Keith and Josh. “Check it out man,” Nick said as I rolled to a stop at the end of his driveway. He gestured with his head and I cast my look over his shoulder only to find my eyes resting on the largest ramp the little town had ever seen. It was made of cinder (煤渣) blocks that Nick’s dad had stored under a tarp (防水油布) to repair the garage. On it was a sheet of wood providing the ramp part of the jump. What a perfect ramp!

“Has anyone taken the jump?” I asked. Everyone kept silent. “Why build it then?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Nick shrugged. “I’ll do it,” suddenly I said. The words were out and the only way to save face was to make it. “If I do this I will do it right,” I said, pretending to study the Monster.  Keith sensed the nervousness within me. “Be fine, just don’t mess it up.”

I made my way up to a steep hill to get more speed. Holding my nerve, I kicked off and charged forward with all the strength my legs had to offer. My concentration was like a rock, focused on the task at hand. The wind was rushing in my ears as I stared down the Monster and made my final approach.
