Universities are working harder than ever to attract prospective students to their campuses. One of their main strategies is to upgrade on-campus accommodations and attract students with the promise of resort-style living.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Simmons Hall

MIT is home to Simmons Hall, the beloved freshman dorm that offers beautiful views of Cambridge, a two-story movie theater, and a ball pit designed to provide stress relief. Common areas are equipped with TVs and gaming systems, and the in-house dining hall and late night café come in handy for students pulling those occasional all-nighters. 62% of Simmons residents live in single rooms, so students can enjoy their privacy while still staying connected to the spirited Simmons community.

University of Cincinnati-Morgens Hall

The University of Cincinnati's recently restored Morgens Hall boasts floor-to-ceiling views and luxury apartment-style living. These 2-person, 3-person, and 8-person rooms feature full kitchens, huge closets, and plenty of storage space. The entire building is full of neat tricks, from windows that darken with the touch of a button to eco-friendly heating and cooling technology.

Pomona College-Dialynas & Sontag Hall

Small liberal arts school Pomona College has not one but two of the best college dorms. Dialynas Hall and Sontag Hall, both constructed in 2011, gained national praise for their energy efficient design and are beloved by students for their modern look. Students live in suite-style rooms in arrangements of three to six bedrooms. There's a drop-down movie screen, a rooftop garden and playing field for pick-up games. Students can learn more about their dorm's sustainable design by spending time in the in-house eco-classrooms.

Benjamin Alexander, a 38-year-old man from Northampton shire, became the first athlete to represent Jamaica in an alpine skiing event（高山滑雪）at the Winter Olympics.

But his story started in 2015. When he saw friends did the sport so skillfully, he was in awe and decided to take a ski lesson.” That first time, I fell 27 times on the way down the hill. I think a lot of people would have given up at that point.” “But I kind of just took that as the baseline. If I can aim for falling less than 27 times on the next hill, then I am progressing.”

However, it wasn't until two years later that Benjamin considered seriously competing in the sport.“In 2018,I went to the Winter Olympics as a spectator,” he said.“I noticed that there were only three athletes representing Jamaica.I found that very strange since my mother country is a powerhouse full of athletes in the summer game. So coming into 2019, I just had a plan to say, 'Let's see if this crazy idea of going to the Olympics is even possible. Let's just go and ski for a little while and see what happens.'" he said.

Alexander has no full-time coach. He built a support network that included Stokes and the US skier Gordon Gray, who called Alexander's technique “terrible”but thought his lack of fear would give him an advantage in competition. A strategic approach and fearless technique have led the engineering graduate and former DJ not only to make sporting history but find success as a black athlete in a historically white sport. Alexander bills himself as a “reinvention expert” and has used skills learned in his other careers to develop his pursuit of skiing success. “I've been to 67 countries. I've spent a lot of my life on the road.” he said. “I've always loved to travel and a big part of my previous role as a DJ was getting myself out there, marketing myself in the right way, figuring out ways to get into venues,clubs and festivals that I wanted to perform at.”

24.What made Benjamin decide to compete in Olympics?

A.His love for his motherland.

B.His friends' encouragement.

C.His desire to change his life.

D.His enthusiasm for alpine skiing.

25.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.The challenges Benjamin met.

B.The advantages Benjamin has.

C.The way of Benjamin's training.

D. The reason behind Benjamin's success.

26.What can we learn from Benjamin Alexander?

A.Better late than never.

B.Failure is the mother of success.

C.Never judge a book by its cover.

D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

27.In which column will you read this passage on the Internet?

A.Entertainment.

B.Health.

C.Sports.

D.Culture.

C

This is the digital age. If you don't know what ChatGPT is, think of the digital products you're constantly exposed to. Technology can close the gap between paper and screen, but not entirely. Typing will never be as distinctive as handwriting. Mastery of digital technologies is vital, but a sense of touch, authenticity and humanity still matter.

A recent research reveals the enduring value of paper, whether in making decisions, winning over customers or enhancing productivity. In a study from Maferima at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University, the researchers approached strangers and asked them to take a made-up survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out the form; the other half were handed an iPad. At the end of the exercise, respondents were asked if they wanted to give their email address to receive information on how to donate to a charity. Those who used paper were much likelier to provide their email addresses.

The researchers also saw differences in behavior when they showed Chinese university students an ad for a bookseller at the end of the survey, and then asked them to select some of the books that were being promoted. Those using paper to fill out the questionnaire chose more highbrow books on average than those using the tablet. When asked, paper-and-pen respondents were indeed more likely than iPad users to think their choices were more indicative of their characters.

And in a study from 2017,researchers found that people assigned a greater value to the physical version of a product than its digital version. Shoppers were willing to pay more for books and films they could hold than ones they could only download. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. They found that Instagram posts showing hands touching products like cups of coffee or smartphones got more likes than those that were not being pawed. Similarly, people browsing in a shop on line were more willing to buy a T-shirt if they saw their own simulated hand touch it. All of these explain why retailers target consumers who do more of their shopping offline when selling pricier, less functional products.

28.What does the author want to say in Paragraph 1?

A.Together with ChatGPT comes the digital age.

B.Paper still has a role to play in the digital age.

C.People won't write with pen in the future.

D.Digital products do harm to our health.

29.How does the author mainly develop paragraphs 2&3?

A.By asking questions.

B.By giving examples.

C.By listing reasons.

D. By making comparisons.

C.By listing reasons.

30.Which word can replace the underlined word “simulated” in the last paragraph?

A.shaky

B.tiny

C.virtual

D.soft

31.What can we infer from the passage?

A.On-line shops will fail to attract customers in the future.

B.A hand-written birthday card is better than a text message.

C.A person with an app will be more likely to stick to his plan.

D.All exams and interviews will be conducted with pen and paper.

Yellow fever began to spread in Brazil in 2016. More than 2,000 people got sick, and 750 died.The disease is also severely threatening the golden lion tamarin, a little monkey, living in the rainforest of southeastern Brazil. The disease killed about one-third of its population, which was small even before the outbreak. So, scientists created a vaccine to protect the monkeys.

The vaccination campaign began last year. But vaccinating animals to protect their species from extinction is a new idea, which represents a change in thinking among supporters of wildlife conservation and has raised questions about how far humans should go to save wild animas. Historically, conservationists have believed that humans should not interfere directly with wildlife. A traditional saying in the world of conservation work is “Leave it as is.”

However, Tony Goldberg, a scientist and animal doctor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, believes in vaccinating wild animals when possible. “There are people who say we shouldn't touch nature and that we shouldn't alter anything. But really, there are no unspoiled natural habitats left.” he said. “People are realizing they have to do something." he added. “This epidemic moved very quickly from north to south, across the country-no wildlife does that. It's people. They cross vast distances in buses, trains, planes. They bring the disease with them. We realized that in five years, we could lose the entire population if we did nothing.”

The vaccine led to antibodies in the tested monkeys and caused no harm, the scientists found. So far, about 300 have been vaccinated and are reported to be doing well. Tests show that more than 90 percent of the monkeys have immunity or resistance to the virus since vaccination.

The outbreak of yellow fever is no longer a big problem for the monkeys, and their population is starting to come back. But even with the success of the vaccine program, scientists are still not sure about creating vaccines for other animals. Jacob Negrey, a biologist who studies monkeys, wondered about unpredictable effects of such wildlife treatment. He explained that you might create a treatment that helps one kind of animal but hurts another.

32.What caused moneys to get infected with yellow fever?

A. Human activities.

B.Loss of their habitat.

C.Convenient transportation.

D.The development of Science and technology.

33.What happened to vaccinated monkeys?

A.They are resistant to all viruses.

B.They are no longer endangered animals.

C.There is an increase in their population.

D.Some of them are harmed by the vaccine.

34.What's Jacob's attitude to creating vaccine for other animals?

A.Indifferent.

B.Optimistic.

C.Doubtful.

D.Neutral.

35.What's the best title of this passage?

A.Vaccinating animals: a heated debate.

B.Yellow fever: a threat to monkeys.

C.Protecting moneys: a top priority.

D.Vaccine:a blessing for monkeys

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。

People have been playing rock, paper, scissors for about 2,000 years. It's played everywhere. Many people think the game is all luck: their probability of winning seems about the same as their chances of losing. 36There are patterns in how people make decisions. Although knowing the psychology of this game isn't a sure ticket to winning a match, it can help.

The game is mainly about predicting and reading your opponents. 37 Research has shown that there is a slight preference for people to begin by playing rock. There are different theories about why-it could be because it is mentioned first in the name of the game, or it could be because rock is similar to a fist which seems powerful. Thus, if we know that, it gives us an edge-just play paper.

38Research shows that people who lose a hand tend to change. So there is a reasonable chance that our opponents will change to scissors or paper. That gives us our second edge--just play scissors and we should either win or draw. But this isn't an exact science. What if it doesn't go to plan and your opponents win? 39.

If we lose the previous hand then our opponents might reasonably expect us to switch to something else. 40. Hopefully, they'll switch, expecting us to switch, and it should improve our chances. Maybe sometimes the less predictable you are, the better chance you have of winning.

A. But the outcome of the game is not random.

B.So what if you could predict their first hand?

C.Perhaps they know a bit of game strategy too.

D.If our opponents lose, they'll probably switch.

E.“Practice, practice, practice” is the key to success.

F.This gives us our final edge-surprise them by not switching.

G.Look for patterns in either your opponent's moves or behavior.
