But we love to compete over Mastermind and University challenge, and he thought I’d make it. And he was absolutely right!I did a foundation course first, which was part time at the University Lifelong Learning Centre(LLC), two nights a week and the odd Saturday. I did quite well, and that gave me the confidence to do a full time, three year degree. I’m passionate about art and I always wanted to be here for the journey and not the destination. That sounds really corny, but it was the truth in my case.Initially it was a bit strange fitting in with my course mates. They were all 18, straight out of sixth form or college. Over time, though, they’ve all been fine — now, we all get on really well and there is no issue. I’ve made plenty of friends as a member of the mature students society, and I do some volunteering through the LLC, chatting to prospective students about my experience of coming to university. I tell them my story and basically encourage them to give it a go because you’ve got nothing to lose. I like to think I’ve convinced a few of them.I have no regrets at all. Enrolling in university was the best piece of advice I’ve received in years, especially post-retirement. I needed routine in my life; I needed purpose. I’m not going to spend my day in the bookies or the pub. If you’ve got a passion for something, you should pursue it.24. What do we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The author often competed with his friend at university,B. The author was satisfied with his performance at school,C. The advice of his friend was a big challenge for the author.D. The author’s friend told a joke when suggesting university.25. What was it that made him determined to pursue a full time degree?A. His long held passion for art.        B. His boring retirement life.C. His success in the foundation course.  D. His desire to travel to the destination.26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How he got along with his course mates   B. How he helped his friends at university.C. What activities he took part in at school    D. What he experienced as a volunteer.27. Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?A. Knowledge is power.           B. It’s never too old to learn.C. Failure is the mother of success.   D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.                                  CTech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they’ve come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smart phones can both send out and receive 1aperscn tests positive(阳性) for COVID-19, they could inform public health authorities through an app. Those public health apps would then warn anyone whose smart phones had come near the infected person’s phone in the previous 14 days. The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users’ privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users’ physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who are tested to be positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. “Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort,” the companies said in a joint statement.The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of “destruction of privacy”. In a statement on Friday, ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said, “The system also can’t work well if people don’t trust it”. She said that the joint Apple and Google project “appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement.” She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.Public health officials say the contact tracing—finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter in-place restrictions.It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.28. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise for public health.  B. To introduce a contact tracing system.C. To warn the public of risks of COVID-19.D. To raise people’s awareness of privacy protection.29. What do the companies promise to do in particular?A. Warn people who test positive.     B. Protect infected people’s privacy.C. Work with public health authorities. D. Collect data on users physical locations.30. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?A. Public health issues are traced accurately.B. Only people’s trust influences the system.C. The system is at the risk of being destroyed.D. Jennifer thinks the system should be better.31. The system is mainly designed to               A. ensure infected people’s recovery   B. guarantee people’s normal activitiesC. help prevent the spread of COVID-19 D. encourage all the people to isolate themselvesDAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location(位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32. The passage begins with two questions to ________.A. introduce the main topic          B. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the Internet   D. explain how to store information33. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.34. In transactive memory, people ________.A. keep the information in mind          B. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computer   D. remember how to find the information35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.       B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.   D. We need a better way to access information.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。Tests can be stressful even for the best students.   36   Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to make your stress much more manageable.Get Enough SleepGetting 6 hours of sleep or less can put you into what’s called a sleep deficit(不足), which makes you less sharp mentally and prevents you from performing properly on tests.   37   This way, you needn’t stay up for the test and can get a good night of sleep before your big day.Study Smarter  38   Make a list of the most important things you need to learn and hit the items at the top of the list first. This will ensure they’re mostly covered if you run out of time. Make a list of all the work you have to do, estimate how long each item will take, and compare that with the amount of hours you have available. This will tell you if you can carefully read or just skim, how many times you can afford to revise the papers.Visualize(想象) SuccessA proven way to build your confidence is to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully. Visualization can not only help you perform better in the tests but can help you remember facts. You can create detailed situations that involve the information you’re trying to remember.   39  Stay CalmThere’re several techniques that can help you calm down quickly.   40   Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold it for a while and then let it out slowly. Your stress will come out with your exhales(呼气).A. Be organized with your studies.B. Extra time on tests can bring success to students.C. Test anxiety has a negative impact on your performance.D.

How参考范文Dear manager,I’m writing to complain about the poor service your hotel provided. After my family checked in on August 5th, we were annoyed to find there was no access to the Internet and no hot water available after 10 p.m. Worse still, the room attendant was rude when we reported these problems to him.I know your hotel enjoys a high reputation, but it was disappointing that your hotel didn’t offer high-quality service. I think it’s necessary to improve the room service and get your employees well trained so that it won’t fail other customers.
