However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was. Tm not really hungry,“ I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, Then, Til eat it! ” The other girls laughcd-apparently Katrina was known to be a big eater.I didnt want to be rude to a potentially new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag. The inoment I lifted the cover of my lunch container, I could practically taste the garlic and onion.The girls, piqued（激起好奇，C?） by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped container.

They are about space and astronomy.Its practically a scene on American television. A baby is born. Friends and family offer their congratulations.But then, in the car from the hospital, a deep worry falls over the parents. 4How in the world are we going to pay for college?Its true that going to university abroad is a very expensive option. Tuition is much higher than at Chinese universities, and then there are the expenses for room and board.Tuition at Han ard this year is around $46,000(318,700), but when you include student service fees, room, and board, that figure jumps to over S65, 000 a year.Schools outside the US are a little bit less expensive on average, but they can still empty your wallet. Tuition at Oxford University is at least 136,500. The cost of Australias University of Melbourne varies a great deal depending on (he discipline, but tuition alone will likely set students back 148, 500 a year.These numbers can be really shocking, but dont worry. Most universities have systems in place to help students pay for their education.The first thing you should look into is whether or not you are fit for financial aid. While some universities dont allow international students to apply for aid, many make no distinction.While most financial aid is “need-based，meaning that you have to demonstrate that your parents cannot afford (o pay the full amount, there are also scholarships based on merit. If you are a math talent or a promising basketball player you might end up going to college free of charge.Then, there are some scholarships that are designed specifically for Chinese students. The famous Freeman Scholarship at Wesleyan University, for example, is awarded to two Chinese students from Hong Kong and two from the mainland each year.4. What do American parents often worry about, according to the first paragraph?A. Their childrens health after leaving the hospital.B. The stress (heir children will face al college.C.

How to apply for financial aid for local students?CNearly 40 years ago, Peter Harrison, a marine ecologist witnessed the first recorded large - scale coral bleaching （珊瑚白化）event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reef （大堡礁）,he was shocked by the scene before him. The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly bleached white corals, like the beginning of a ghost city,“ he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.“Many of the hundreds of corals that had been carcfiilly labelled and monitored finally died J he says. uIt was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really arc.”Coral exists together with photosynthetic algae （藻类）,which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition （and coloration）. But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When （his occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the corals clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton （碳酸钙骨骼）are exposed. If the coral cant reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.The widespread destruction Harrison saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomenon went global, killing some 16 percent of the worlds corals. With rising temperatures, pollution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species and other dangers, Harrison ehost cities are expanding.Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly every 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster nowabout every six yearsand in some places soon they could begin to happen annually.“The absolute key is dealing with global warming,n says marine biologist Terry Hughes. No matter how much wc clean up the water, the reefs will dic. In 2016, a rccord-hot year in a string of them, 91 percent of the reefs that consist of the Great Barrier Reef bleached.8. Peter Harrison was shocked when diving in （he Great Barrier Reef, because. A. the reefs were made up of precious coralshe saw the corals he had tagged beforeB. the corals were ruined badly and quicklyhe found a ghost city with tropical life9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about.A. the causes of coral bleachingB. the weakness of corals and algaeC. the elements that make algae dieD. the process of building a link with algae1(). The phrase “Harrisons ehott citic。” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to.A. the coral bleachingB. invasive speciesglobal warmingD. the polluted ocean11 What can be learned from the passage?A. With algae living in its tissues, corafs white skeleton is exposed.B. The reefs die because the water hasnt been cleaned thoroughly C Solving global warming is the real solution to coral bleaching.C. The severest coral bleaching occurred about four decades ago.DA research team led by Chunshui Yu and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzheimers disease. They identified them by exploring which genes were turned on and off in the hippocampus of people who suffered from the disease. The teams new findings arc published on February 25th in PLOS Genetics.Alzheimers disease is a type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. This is a gradually progressive condition. The hippocampus, part of the brain involved in memory, is one of the first legions to sustain damage. To better understand which genes contribute to the progression of this heritable disease, the researchers identified genes expressed at higher or lower levels in the hippocampus of people with Alzheimers disease compared to healthy brains. They identified 24 Alzheimers-relatcd genes that appear to have an effect through the hippocampus, using previous genomic and hippocampus gene expression data. Many genes were already known to contribute to the disease, such as A POE, but two were unknown, PTPN9 and PCDHA4. Additionally, several are involved in biological process related to Alzheimers disease, such as cell death.The research team further validated their findings by comparing gene expression for the two dozen genes to images of the individuals brains. In Alzheimers disease, damage and loss of neurons causes the hippocampus to decrease, which can be measured through medical imaging. The researchers established that expression of two of the genes is related to the size of the hippocampus of Alzheimers disease.Overall, the new findings improve our understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms that cause Alzheimers disease. The next step will be to investigate （he roles of the two novel genes and how they contribute to this harmful disease.12. How did the research team find the two genes related to Alzheimers disease?A. By closing the hippocampus of people.B. By exploring the switch state of the genes.C. By turning on and off the genes of the patient.D. By discovering genes in the hippocampus of people.13. What does the underlined word validated” mean in Paragraph 3?A. Reported.B. Conducted.C. Confirmed.D. Exposed.14. What can we infer about the size of the hippocampus in Alzheimers disease.A. It comes in a smaller size.B. There is no way to measure its size.C. It results in damage and loss of neurons.D. It helps to identify Alzheimers disease.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is vital to continue the study of Alzheimers disease.B. The cause of Alzheimers disease has been found.C. The Alzheimers disease will be cured soon by the research team.D. Two novel genes likely linked to Alzheimers disease have been discovered.第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值125分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选 项。If your Internet or cable bill is more than you can afford or suddenly looks higher than you signed up for一 youre hardly alone. Many American Internet and cable TV companies employ a shell game of limited-time promotions and hidden, variable service fees to get us to pay more over time. 16 Here are some tricks I learned from Internet sen1 ice providers and consumer advocates.17 Check the website BroadbandNow to find all the available service providers specific to your Zip code. The sites database is one of the best, though not all the options listed will necessarily offer speeds sufficient to keep a whole family online all at once. If youre lucky enough to have options, you could even switch providers after promotional pricing runs out. 18Just threaten to drop service. Many Internet service providers would rather cut your rates to keep you as a customer than try to win you back later. Calling and threatening to quit isnt fiin fbr you or the person working in the customer-retention department, but it can work. Ask to have access to the latest promotional offer for your area.Dont be mean:19Buy your own modem and router. When you get Internet, you need two pieces of hardware to make it work: a modem and a router (sometimes combined into one box called a gateway). Most companies provide their own, and even set it up and then charge you to rent it from $ 10 to $25 per month. But you dont have to rent their equipmentyou can buy your own. In my house, I use a $15() Arris Surfboard modem plugged into a $ 130 Eero router fbr WiFi 20 It might even work belter than what your provider is renting.A. Try to switch providers.B. Sign up fbr the discount program.C. Just remember to set a calendar reminder.D. So what can you do now if your bill is just too high?E. You catch more flics with honey than you do with vinegar.F. This approach will cost you more first but will save you in the long run.G. You could try calling your ci(y officials and tell them you need more options.第三局部语言运用(共两节，总分值30分) 第一节(共15小题；每题1分，总分值15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。When the Covid-19 pandemic stnick Indonesias island of Bali, tourism-the driving economic force in the region-just about came to a halt.
