I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I'm usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word "overachiever" on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) "why?". The short answer: I want to be a problem solver, and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person. In addition, I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.

It's the beginning of a new year, and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors. However, as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester, college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices - do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears? The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you're passionate about something, it's not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it's fun to read the Constitution (宪法) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.

This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers, you're only running yourself into the ground. Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years. What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have - whether it be in your study, career, or something else your career and study will enable you to do.

Always think about your "why" when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails. Because at the end of the day, it's going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.

24. How do people tend to feel about the writer's majors?

A. Impressed or puzzled.   B. Ashamed or challenged.

C. Satisfied or confused.    D. Amazed or concerned.

25. What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science?

A. The value of studying the Constitution.

B. The influence of learning engineering.

C. His career planning for the future.

D. His enthusiasm for the major.

26. According to the author, what causes multiple majors' hard situation in college?

A. Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.

B. Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.

C. Making random choices without sufficient consideration.

D. Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.

27.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To promote the concept of multiple majoring.

B. To explain the reasons for choosing a double major.

C. To compare the gains and losses of multiple majoring.

D. To stress the significance of passion in multiple majoring.

C

Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 -centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.

But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.

The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. "Its close link with that subject is evident," said the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. "Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is not the 'king' of nature, but an essential element of it," continues Azevedo on her website.

"I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite," she says. "I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesn't honor anybody. It does honor the unknown."

Azevedo explains, "In a few-minute action, the rules of the monument are inverted: in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies." Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.

28. What can we learn about Néle Azevedo's artworks?

A. They are put in public places for artists to appreciate.

B. They are adopted as a way of showing artistic talents.

C. They are linked with the threat of climate change.

D. They are considered as a symbol of unity.

29. Which of the following can best replace the word "inverted" in paragraph 5 ?

A. kept track of              B. turned upside down

C. laid emphasis on           D. taken into account

30.What can be inferred about the square show from the last paragraph?

A. It is permanent by nature.

B. It lacks practical influence.

C. It takes long to see the results.

D. It conveys the artist's exact intention.

31Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Public Interest in Contemporary Art

B. Ice Figures Transforming into Water

C. Responsibility Demanded of Activist Artists

D. Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate Crisis

D

Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. "But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions," says Sonja Sudimac.

To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.

"The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress," explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.

The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.

In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.

32.What does the hen-and-egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac?

A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.

B. People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems.

C. It's unnecessary to work out the complex issue of stress and health.

D. It's hard to clarify the impact of living environment on mental health.

33.How did researchers collect evidence for the study?

A. By quoting authoritative experts.

B. By interviewing healthy volunteers.

C. By researching on a previous theory.

D. By comparing volunteers' amygdala activities.

34.What contribution did Simone Kühn and his team mainly make?

A. Confirming the assumption of nature's benefits to brain health.

B. Supporting a commonly held view of urban exposure.

C. Revealing the link between age and mental health.

D. Identifying the causes of mental health problems.

35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Benefits of a regular walk in nature.

B. The focus of the follow-up research.

C. An appeal for living in urban regions.

D. Nature's positive effects on women and children.

第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)

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。

Medicine is a degree that consists of an endless number of exams, and recently I received my first year results. Waiting for those results was one of the most anxiety-generating experiences.

__36__ Failing brings judgement from others, a topic of discussion for people, and the right for others to say you are not capable. The stress associated with failing is created by others around you, rather than by the event itself.

I have recently been reading The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, which clarifies that failure has a strong presence among those who have achieved success. People will always focus on Warren Buffett's success as an investor. __37__

The process of achieving success has often involved setbacks and "failures" along the way. I received a "pass" grade on an important research paper during my master's, which put my final grade in a dangerous situation. I was rejected from medical schools which I'd spent time and effort applying to and preparing for. __38__ I also began studying Medicine last year.

__39__ But you should know that with each failure you are closer to success, building further layers to the foundations you started. Behind every successful person are more obstacles and setbacks, but these are not as interesting to focus on or as enviable.

The noise around you, whether it be from co-workers, friends or parents, should not shake your belief in your abilities. __40__ Learn what you need and correct your approach until you reach your success.

A. Failure is your platform to success.

B. You are guaranteed a lifetime of success.

C. I was turned down by countless graduate schemes.

D. You may not be successful the first, second or however many times.

E. Upon reflection I believe that this is partly as a result of the failure itself.

F. Despite all of this, I ended up getting a distinction in my master's degree.

G. However, rarely will they see how many times his investments have failed.

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ms. Johnson will never forget Chelsea, a wounded soul. Over the years Chelsea had always struggled, both academically and with self-confidence. Additionally, her mother had died after a heroic battle with a terminal illness when Chelsea was a fifth grader. As she began her sixth grade, Chelsea was still hurting. Ms. Johnson worried about her with good reason.

Each fall, Ms. Johnson takes the students for a five-day adventure at Wolf Ridge, an environmental learning center in the woods of Northern Minnesota overlooking Lake Superior. The week is filled with learning, team building, and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. They go in October, and the turning leaves of trees come to symbolize the changes happening to the students over the week. The steps and growth students make at Wolf Ridge become a metaphor Ms. Johnson uses throughout the year as her students face challenges in the classroom.

The most difficult activity is the High Adventure Ropes Course, which stretches from tower to tower high amongest the treetops forty feet above the ground. Ms. Johnson knew this experience would be particularly difficult for Chelsea.

When it was time for her to fasten the harness (安全带), Chelsea was already trembling. The harness offers physical protection, but not much mental comfort when nothing but a slippery board or an unsteady wire is between your feet and the ground far below. Chelsea stepped hesitantly onto the Swinging Wood Bridge, and only after the instructor's encouragement, slowly made her way across its shaky boards up to the first tower. With the support of a chaperone (监护人) stationed there, she began her way across the Burma Bridge, made of merely three wires and straps. Her trembling body added to its shaking. From down below, her ground partners shouted up supportively, "Come on, Chelsea, you're doing great!"

Chelsea finally reached the second tower and eventually stepped out onto the next challenge and slowly inched her way across.
