University of Maryland: TERP Young Scholars
July 8 - July 27
The University of Maryland’s TERP Young Scholars Program is the perfect summer camp for academically talented teenagers who want to earn college credit, pursue academic interests, explore career opportunities, and discover college life at the University of Maryland.
During three weeks of intellectual exploration, teens preview the university experience, study with students who share similar interests, and engage with some of the University of Maryland’s best faculty (全体教师) in a dynamic, challenging classroom environment. Upon successful completion, students earn three college credits that post to the University of Maryland transcript (学生成绩报告单).
The TERP Young Scholars Program offers college courses that are at the cutting edge of theory, thought and technology. The three-credit introductory course includes career discovery through field trips or guest speakers. Classes generally meet every day, Monday through Friday. The program offers over 20 courses that include:
• Journalism
• Engineering
• Psychology
• Life Sciences
• Communication
• Computer Science
• Humanities and the Arts
• Government and Politics
• Business and Technology
• Movement and the Human Body
The TERP Young Scholars Program is a great introduction to the University of Maryland.

Workshops and seminars featuring speakers in innovative career or academic fields further enrich the learning experience. Students enjoy trips to nearby Washington, DC, movie nights, activities at the student union, and more.

An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniments(伴奏).
The noises in the first multimedia books include rain hitting a window in one of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. A Salman Rushdie story with an orchestral score (配乐) will follow this year. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austin have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups hitting each other in Mr Darcy’s garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of enjoying the imagination required to read a book.
Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD, said the new generation of readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
Booktrack’s sound effects work by figuring out the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack is not in agreement with the words, a click on any word will re-set it.
Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an ebook because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.”
Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what cutting a tree sounds like. That would upset me.”
24. In whose ebook can we hear the sound of a specific weather condition?
A. Conan Doyle’s. B. Shakespeare’s.
C. Salman Rushdie’s. D. Rudyard Kipling’s.
25. What does Caroline Michel think of multimedia books?
A. They go against human nature. B. They have an unpredictable future.
C. They are in line with market trends. D. They may inspire readers’ imagination.
26. What’s Stuart MacBride’s attitude to soundtracks?
A. Indifferent. B. Disapproving.
C. Appreciative. D. Disrespectful.
27. How does the author develop the text?
A. By presenting different opinions. B. By telling his personal experiences.
C. By giving scientific research results. D. By comparing various types of ebooks.
C
People love the “comeback kid”, the “down and out guy”, and any variety of defeated people whom we’ve seen fail, then manage to dust off their bootstraps (独自所作的努力) and take on life again. Everyone should get this chance in life, and they should get it over and over and over again. Everyone, that is, except our teenagers, right?
At least that is how parents, teachers, college admission officers, coaches, and others who spend time with adolescents have led all of us to believe. We have all bought the great lie that there is not only zero room for today’s teenagers to fail academically, but any form of failure is a great embarrassment to everyone involved. And I do mean everyone.
Ever notice how quick parents are to share college acceptance letters, scholarships, SAT scores, and pretty much all the perfect resumes (简历) of their high schoolers for everyone to see on social media? Surely it makes moms and dads extremely proud. We all want to take credit for our teenager’s great accomplishments, and while that is all well and good, it also means that when failure happens, we scatter like sheep when a wolf arrives, because failure on their part means failure on our part.
Adolescent brains do not have the bandwidth to process that failure is temporary, and that high school is but a small spot on their life map. Unfortunately, while we may talk that talk, our actions do not bolster it. Anyone who has been through the competitive college application and scholarship process knows this all too well, because there is no room for any form of failure. But this is wrong.
Tell your kids that failure doesn’t define them. Tell them it’s normal, natural, and expected. Tell them failure creates comeback stories, and the opportunity to rise even higher and better than before. And finally, tell them you don’t worry that they will fail; you worry that they won’t.
28. What is the problem of today’s teenagers?
A. They cannot make their choices. B. They are easily defeated.
C. They’re not allowed to fail. D. They face various lies.
29. What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Affect. B. Support.
C. Remove. D. Improve.
30. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Success is very important. B. Hard work means success.
C. Success needs family’s support. D. Failure just leads to success.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A. Parents should allow themselves to fail. B. Teens are wrong about their college life.
C. Parents are teens’ lifelong supporters . D. Teens should know failing is OK.
D
The long expected regulations governing off-campus tutoring programs were recently made public. The severity of the regulations exceeds(超过) the worse expectations of those engaged in the once thriving(繁荣的) training sector. Then related businesses listed in domestic and overseas markets experienced sharp declines. These training agencies have experienced explosive growths in recent years by cashing in on increasing anxiety among Chinese parents over the education of their children.
For parents, the common means of gaining competitive edge for their children is to get them into better schools, by paying more for extracurricular training. It came as no surprise that when Indian movie Hindi Medium was shown a few years ago, it became a huge box office success, likely because the parental anxiety described in the film resonates with many Chinese viewers struggling with their children’s education. Like their Indian counterparts, parents here would do anything to get their children into the right school.
While most children like me would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation of the training sector, parental responses are more mixed. Asked to comment on this, a mother whose son is taking four training courses was less than enthusiastic. The training is going on as scheduled, and she insisted that she would terminate the training only on condition that all other parents have done the same, and that there was still significant difference between professional instruction and learning on one's own. Her attitude is not atypical(非典型的，反常的), and probably well justified by past experience.
According to Yang Dongping, professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, Chinese parental anxiety stands out in two aspects. First, the anxiety affects all social levels no matter how their financial circumstances are. Second, for the children the competition gets started steadily earlier, from primary schools a few years ago to kindergartens now.
Thus, a fundamental change to the situation involves a change in attitude on the part of the whole society. It would mean a change to the narrow-minded perception of education as a good school and a profitable job. Hopefully the current policies would go on to address growing superstition(迷信，迷信思想) in diplomas and “elite" schools.
Only when education goes beyond simple scores and standards and evolves into a lifelong pursuit of sweetness and light could it hope to be truly self-motivating and sustainable. The guidelines might be effective in tackling(应对、处理) off-campus tutoring, but addressing the pervasive(弥漫的，充斥的) anxiety will involve coordinated, lasting effort.
32. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Most people related to training business expected the new regulations to be severe.
B. The training businesses gain economic growth because of parents increasing anxiety.
C. Off - campus training is the only way of getting students into better schools for parents.
D. Chinese parents attach greater importance to children’s education than Indian parents.
33. The word “resonate” in paragraph three means .
A. to be similar to what somebody thinks B. to differ from what others believe
C. to have a special meaning to somebody D. to make a deep, clear sound
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Most children would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation.
B. In Yang’s view, parents are anxious because children go to school earlier.
C. The whole society’s view of education needs to be renewed and broadened.
D. We should believe that a good education means diplomas and elite schools.
35. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. How to Solve Increasing Chinese Parental Anxiety
B. Efforts Beyond Regulations Needed to Improve Education
C. Parents’ Support for New Regulations on the Training Sector
D. New Regulations on Off - campus Tutoring Programs Made Public

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How do you clean a huge 400-year-old painting that is a national treasure? If you said, “Very carefully,” you’d be right.___36____ But that’s exactly what the Rijksmuseum, the Netherland’s national museum, is planning on doing.
The Night Watch is the most important painting in the history of the Netherlands. ___37___ For Dutch people, this painting is one of their greatest treasures. The country was shocked in 1975 when someone cut the painting with a knife. That time, about 40 years ago, was the last time that the painting had been repaired.
Since then, the painting has become dirtier. 38 That’s why the museum is going to “restore” it — to clean it and try to make it look like it did back when Rembrandt first painted it.
Working on such a famous and important painting is a job that can’t be done quickly. 39 They don’t even plan to start on it until next July. Until then, experts hired by the museum will be carefully studying the painting with X-rays and other tools, and planning how they will restore it.
The Rijksmuseum does not want its visitors to miss out on seeing The Night Watch for several years. It is their most famous painting and gets over 2 million visitors a year. 40 This will allow the experts to work, but also allow visitors to see both the painting and the work the experts are doing. For people who can’t visit the Netherlands, the museum plans to set up a live camera to show the painting’s progress over the Internet.
A. It was even larger when Rembrandt painted it.
B. You probably didn’t say, “With the whole world watching.”
C. The museum expects the whole project will take a few years.
D. Groups of soldiers were always painted standing straightly in rows.
E. It was painted between 1639 and 1642 by the Dutch artist Rembrandt.
F. Instead, the museum plans to build a special clear glass case around the painting.
G. It has gotten a slightly cloudy coating on it that makes it hard to see the painting’s true colors.

This Christmas, I told my little granddaughter the story of Daniel when she noticed and 58 the small polished rock that sat on my desk. “He’s a grown-up now,” I finished. Together we 59 where he is and what he has become.

W: Hey, Paul. I hear that you’ll take the 2 o’clock plane to attend the exhibition in New York.
M: Yeah. Why?
W: (6)Well, I’m going to visit a customer there today and we will be on the same flight. Would you like to share a taxi to the airport?
M: I’m afraid I can’t. (7)I have to take this report to Mr. Smith at our home office before his 10 o’clock meeting, so I was thinking about going to the airport straight from there. If you’d like, I could meet you at the airport.

W: Yes, of course. The Beach Hotel opened in 2017. And it sits on the seaside. It is the most beautiful hotel here.
M: That sounds great.
W: And there are some restaurants near it. So, at dinner time, you’d have a lot of choices.
M: That’s really nice. I like to have some local foods while traveling. What about the scenery around it?
W: (16)The hotel has the best views of the ocean.
Text 10
M: Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny flat in London. I don’t live with my parents. They are living in the countryside. Sometimes I take a bus to visit them. (17)An advantage of city life is having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the underground station means I don’t need a car to get around, which saves me money. (18)I take the underground to work every day. I can also use it when I go to visit my friends and relatives. Also, there are shopping centers and museums everywhere.
Of course, London, just like many other large cities, has its problems. Londoners don’t chat on the train or the bus and there is much less sharing spirit than in the country where my parents live. That’s why they couldn’t get used to the city life. They always want to share something with others. (19)In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with(忍受) the noise and pollution either. (20)However, I see that as a small problem. As a famous poet once said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life. ”

Upon successful completion, students earn three college credits that post to the University of Maryland transcript (学生成绩报告单).
The TERP Young Scholars Program offers college courses that are at the cutting edge of theory, thought and technology. The three-credit introductory course includes career discovery through field trips or guest speakers. Classes generally meet every day, Monday through Friday.

An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniments(伴奏).
The noises in the first multimedia books include rain hitting a window in one of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. A Salman Rushdie story with an orchestral score (配乐) will follow this year. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austin have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups hitting each other in Mr Darcy’s garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of enjoying the imagination required to read a book.
Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD, said the new generation of readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
Booktrack’s sound effects work by figuring out the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack is not in agreement with the words, a click on any word will re-set it.
Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an ebook because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.”
Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what cutting a tree sounds like. That would upset me.”
24. In whose ebook can we hear the sound of a specific weather condition?
A. Conan Doyle’s. B. Shakespeare’s.
C. Salman Rushdie’s. D. Rudyard Kipling’s.
25. What does Caroline Michel think of multimedia books?
A. They go against human nature. B. They have an unpredictable future.
C. They are in line with market trends. D. They may inspire readers’ imagination.
26. What’s Stuart MacBride’s attitude to soundtracks?
A. Indifferent. B. Disapproving.
C. Appreciative. D. Disrespectful.
27. How does the author develop the text?
A. By presenting different opinions. B. By telling his personal experiences.
C. By giving scientific research results. D. By comparing various types of ebooks.
C
People love the “comeback kid”, the “down and out guy”, and any variety of defeated people whom we’ve seen fail, then manage to dust off their bootstraps (独自所作的努力) and take on life again. Everyone should get this chance in life, and they should get it over and over and over again. Everyone, that is, except our teenagers, right?
At least that is how parents, teachers, college admission officers, coaches, and others who spend time with adolescents have led all of us to believe. We have all bought the great lie that there is not only zero room for today’s teenagers to fail academically, but any form of failure is a great embarrassment to everyone involved. And I do mean everyone.
Ever notice how quick parents are to share college acceptance letters, scholarships, SAT scores, and pretty much all the perfect resumes (简历) of their high schoolers for everyone to see on social media? Surely it makes moms and dads extremely proud. We all want to take credit for our teenager’s great accomplishments, and while that is all well and good, it also means that when failure happens, we scatter like sheep when a wolf arrives, because failure on their part means failure on our part.
Adolescent brains do not have the bandwidth to process that failure is temporary, and that high school is but a small spot on their life map. Unfortunately, while we may talk that talk, our actions do not bolster it. Anyone who has been through the competitive college application and scholarship process knows this all too well, because there is no room for any form of failure. But this is wrong.
Tell your kids that failure doesn’t define them. Tell them it’s normal, natural, and expected. Tell them failure creates comeback stories, and the opportunity to rise even higher and better than before. And finally, tell them you don’t worry that they will fail; you worry that they won’t.
28. What is the problem of today’s teenagers?
A. They cannot make their choices. B. They are easily defeated.
C. They’re not allowed to fail. D. They face various lies.
29. What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Affect. B. Support.
C. Remove. D. Improve.
30. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Success is very important. B. Hard work means success.
C. Success needs family’s support. D. Failure just leads to success.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A. Parents should allow themselves to fail. B. Teens are wrong about their college life.
C. Parents are teens’ lifelong supporters . D. Teens should know failing is OK.
D
The long expected regulations governing off-campus tutoring programs were recently made public. The severity of the regulations exceeds(超过) the worse expectations of those engaged in the once thriving(繁荣的) training sector. Then related businesses listed in domestic and overseas markets experienced sharp declines. These training agencies have experienced explosive growths in recent years by cashing in on increasing anxiety among Chinese parents over the education of their children.
For parents, the common means of gaining competitive edge for their children is to get them into better schools, by paying more for extracurricular training. It came as no surprise that when Indian movie Hindi Medium was shown a few years ago, it became a huge box office success, likely because the parental anxiety described in the film resonates with many Chinese viewers struggling with their children’s education. Like their Indian counterparts, parents here would do anything to get their children into the right school.
While most children like me would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation of the training sector, parental responses are more mixed. Asked to comment on this, a mother whose son is taking four training courses was less than enthusiastic. The training is going on as scheduled, and she insisted that she would terminate the training only on condition that all other parents have done the same, and that there was still significant difference between professional instruction and learning on one's own. Her attitude is not atypical(非典型的，反常的), and probably well justified by past experience.
According to Yang Dongping, professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, Chinese parental anxiety stands out in two aspects. First, the anxiety affects all social levels no matter how their financial circumstances are. Second, for the children the competition gets started steadily earlier, from primary schools a few years ago to kindergartens now.
Thus, a fundamental change to the situation involves a change in attitude on the part of the whole society. It would mean a change to the narrow-minded perception of education as a good school and a profitable job. Hopefully the current policies would go on to address growing superstition(迷信，迷信思想) in diplomas and “elite" schools.
Only when education goes beyond simple scores and standards and evolves into a lifelong pursuit of sweetness and light could it hope to be truly self-motivating and sustainable. The guidelines might be effective in tackling(应对、处理) off-campus tutoring, but addressing the pervasive(弥漫的，充斥的) anxiety will involve coordinated, lasting effort.
32. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Most people related to training business expected the new regulations to be severe.
B. The training businesses gain economic growth because of parents increasing anxiety.
C. Off - campus training is the only way of getting students into better schools for parents.
D. Chinese parents attach greater importance to children’s education than Indian parents.
33. The word “resonate” in paragraph three means .
A. to be similar to what somebody thinks B. to differ from what others believe
C. to have a special meaning to somebody D. to make a deep, clear sound
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Most children would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation.
B. In Yang’s view, parents are anxious because children go to school earlier.
C. The whole society’s view of education needs to be renewed and broadened.
D. We should believe that a good education means diplomas and elite schools.
35. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. How to Solve Increasing Chinese Parental Anxiety
B. Efforts Beyond Regulations Needed to Improve Education
C. Parents’ Support for New Regulations on the Training Sector
D. New Regulations on Off - campus Tutoring Programs Made Public

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How do you clean a huge 400-year-old painting that is a national treasure? If you said, “Very carefully,” you’d be right.___36____ But that’s exactly what the Rijksmuseum, the Netherland’s national museum, is planning on doing.
The Night Watch is the most important painting in the history of the Netherlands. ___37___ For Dutch people, this painting is one of their greatest treasures. The country was shocked in 1975 when someone cut the painting with a knife. That time, about 40 years ago, was the last time that the painting had been repaired.
Since then, the painting has become dirtier. 38 That’s why the museum is going to “restore” it — to clean it and try to make it look like it did back when Rembrandt first painted it.
Working on such a famous and important painting is a job that can’t be done quickly. 39 They don’t even plan to start on it until next July. Until then, experts hired by the museum will be carefully studying the painting with X-rays and other tools, and planning how they will restore it.
The Rijksmuseum does not want its visitors to miss out on seeing The Night Watch for several years. It is their most famous painting and gets over 2 million visitors a year. 40 This will allow the experts to work, but also allow visitors to see both the painting and the work the experts are doing. For people who can’t visit the Netherlands, the museum plans to set up a live camera to show the painting’s progress over the Internet.
A. It was even larger when Rembrandt painted it.
B. You probably didn’t say, “With the whole world watching.”
C. The museum expects the whole project will take a few years.
D. Groups of soldiers were always painted standing straightly in rows.
E. It was painted between 1639 and 1642 by the Dutch artist Rembrandt.
F. Instead, the museum plans to build a special clear glass case around the painting.
G. It has gotten a slightly cloudy coating on it that makes it hard to see the painting’s true colors.

M: Let me see. (11)Today’s Tuesday. Well, sorry, Ms. Ellis, Dr. Wilson’s fully booked for the rest of the week. I can give you an appointment with Dr. Patel on Thursday at four o’clock.
W: (12)But I really want to see Dr. Wilson.
M: (13)Then the only thing you could do would be to go to our website and use the booking system there. You need to register if you haven’t used it before, but there are usually openings available for next-day appointments that way.
W: Yes, I tried signing up for that just now, but it didn’t work. For some reason, it wouldn’t recognize my patient number. Are you sure there’s nothing more you can do?

W: Good morning, sir. (14)(15)Today we are going to a wonderful place where you can see some rare birds. After that is a 30-minute bike tour around a small island.
M: How lovely! But first of all, can I know about the hotel where I’m going to stay?
W: Yes, of course. The Beach Hotel opened in 2017. And it sits on the seaside. It is the most beautiful hotel here.
M: That sounds great.
W: And there are some restaurants near it. So, at dinner time, you’d have a lot of choices.
M: That’s really nice. I like to have some local foods while traveling. What about the scenery around it?
W: (16)The hotel has the best views of the ocean.

M: Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny flat in London. I don’t live with my parents. They are living in the countryside. Sometimes I take a bus to visit them. (17)An advantage of city life is having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the underground station means I don’t need a car to get around, which saves me money. (18)I take the underground to work every day. I can also use it when I go to visit my friends and relatives. Also, there are shopping centers and museums everywhere.
Of course, London, just like many other large cities, has its problems. Londoners don’t chat on the train or the bus and there is much less sharing spirit than in the country where my parents live. That’s why they couldn’t get used to the city life. They always want to share something with others. (19)In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with(忍受) the noise and pollution either. (20)However, I see that as a small problem. As a famous poet once said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life. ”
