Apply and Fly — Fly-in Programs for College Visits
College fly-in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.
You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you’ re not quite sure what living there would be like. Applying takes time, so don’t do it unless you’ re seriously considering the school — that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships (实习).Timeline and Tips:
1. Do your research early. Make a list of your target colleges. Do they have a fly-in program When is the application due
2. Write and edit essays. By doing so, you’re taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the demanding college essays.
3. Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.)
4. Wait. Generally, students will receive results at least two weeks before the event.Results Day:
Read the email carefully.
Waitlisted If you wish to remain on the list, you may have to email back within a certain time frame (it’ ll say in the email) to keep your spot.
ACCEPTED! Congratulations! Make sure you do the following:
1. Submit permission forms on time. Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so.
2. Pack at least two days before! Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items.
3. Join a group chat. Tapping“add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus, you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you’ ll actually keep in touch with. Who knows, you might end up at the same college!
21．Why are fly-in programs offered
A．To assess students’ levels.
B．To develop students’ interests.
C．To expose students to college life.
D．To collect student feedback on colleges.
22．What are applicants of fly-in programs advised to do
A．Plan for potential fees. B．Make a list of programs.
C．Provide evidence of research. D．Avoid last-minute submission.
23．Which of the following methods does the text suggest for reaching other attendees
A．Emails. B．Messaging groups.
C．Phone calls. D．In-person meetups.
Nestled in the heart of a mountain village in China’s Guizhou province, there is a unique ecological family farm. It is run by Kevin Cillen, a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land. With his parents and siblings, they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to cultivate an “ecological oasis”.
The family’s pursuit of their farming dream in China began in 2000, when Kevin’s mother Hetty Cillen visited China as a volunteer for the first time. The enchanting landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Guizhou fascinated her, causing her to make this foreign country her home. Soon after, his father Patrick Jan Cillen joined her. In 2017, the family rented a plot amid the forest to establish an ecological farm where they laid the foundation, leveling the land, sowing pastures and rearing lambs and chicks.
The locals have openly embraced the foreigners, inviting them to festivities and celebrating traditional Chinese holidays together. In 2018, Yang Chengkai, a 34-year-old villager, befriended the family, often assisting them on the farm. “The community has embraced this family. Even the vendors at the local market contribute by giving them vegetable scraps for free to feed their livestock.” Yang says.
The family farm, hidden within the dense forest, is proof of Guizhou’s ecological progress. The farm practices diversified grass cultivation for high-quality animal feed, uses solar panels for clean energy and employs rainwater harvesting systems for a stable water supply.
Living in China, the 28-year-old Belgian has witnessed the country’s remarkable changes. He has also seized the opportunities of the Internet and new media to increase the farm’s visibility. Partnering with Qiu Ye, a social media influencer, he has set up accounts like “Kevin’s family in Guizhou” on various platforms. By sharing their daily lives on the farm and the natural beauty of rural China, their content has quickly earned over 700,000 subscribers.
24．What made Hetty Cillen decide to settle in Guizhou
A．The natural beauty. B．Volunteer work.
C．A research project. D．Career prospects.
25．How does the family farm contribute to ecological progress in Guizhou
A．By creating jobs for the locals. B．By introducing Western equipment.
C．By practising sustainable way of farming. D．By facilitating eco-tourism and green living.
26．How has Kevin promoted the farm
A．He has created a website. B．He has set up social media accounts.
C．He has it advertised by local villagers. D．He has organized events for subscribers.
27．What might be the best title for the text
A．Belgians Harvest a Good Farm Life in Guizhou
B．Belgians Get Enchanted by the Beauty of Guizhou
C．Belgians Become a Social Media Influencer in China
D．Belgians Live in a Local Chinese Community
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂
28．What can we learn about the worms in the study
A．They take plastics as their everyday food.
B．They are newly evolved creatures.
C．They can consume plastics.
D．They wind up in landfills.
29．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .
A．identify other means of the breakdown
B．find out the source of the enzyme
C．confirm the research findings
D．increase the breakdown speed
30．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A．help to raise worms
B．help make plastic bags
C．be used to clean the oceans
D．be produced in factories in future
31．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain a study method on worms.
B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C．To present a way to break down plastics.
D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.
Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant, seated at the best table — next to a window with great views. It is nice and quiet, but the joy experienced during the first hour fades over time. The reason Habituation. That’s our brain’s tendency to respond less and less to things that are constant, that don’t change. Briefly moving to a noisier area can bring about dishabituation, making the luxury of your window seat feel fresh and more appreciated when you return.
For another example, consider vacations. A few years ago Tali, an employee in a travel company, went on a work trip to a sunny resort (度假村) in the Dominican Republic. She wondered if people had a better time at the start of their trips. She interviewed people worldwide and asked them to rate their feelings throughout their holidays in the survey. The data revealed that joy peaked 43 hours in. At the end of day two was when they were happiest. Thereafter it was all downhill.
Even when they returned home, many still benefited from a warm holiday afterglow (回味). But within a week, they adjusted to normal life, making it hard to detect any vacation effect on their mood. This evidence suggests that you might benefit most from several small trips spread through the year, rather than one long escape. That way, you will experience the pleasure more often.
What about unpleasant experiences Should you divide those up too Most people want to bear the unpleasantness bit by bit. When researchers asked people whether they would like a break from a bad smell or just bear it all at once and be done with it,90 people said, “Breaks, please!”. The vast majority — 82 out of 119 — also said they wanted a break from an annoying noise. However, this is incorrect. Breaks interrupted their natural habituation to the unwelcome stimulus. For unpleasant tasks, it’s wiser not to chop them up. Otherwise, when you return, things seem worse.
The results of psychological experiments are clear, however, and being mindful of habituation’s powerful effect could help us all experience a bit less pain and a little more pleasure.
32．How does the author introduce the concept of habituation
A．By giving a vivid example. B．By listing specific numbers.
C．By illustrating cause and effect. D．By providing a theoretical model.
33．What does Tali’s survey show
A．The ratings of vacation. B．The influence of vacation.
C．The reasons for happiness. D．The peak time of happiness.
34．What does the underlined phrase “chop them up” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Mix them together. B．Complete them quickly.
C．Postpone them until later. D．Divide them into smaller parts.
35．Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．Fresh weekend trips. B．A regular walking route.
C．Breaks from cleaning the toilet. D．Frequent tasting of a delicious dish.
Do you like cilantro(香菜) Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse. 36 But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward.
37 Your sense of smell allows you to distinguish between something like strawberry and cherry. Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor. 38 When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it.
Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食). 39 But there will always be exceptions-a Greek person who can’t stand olives or a Dutch person who hates cheese.
While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect. 40 Jasmine Robinson, 29, from Athens, shared her story about olives. When she was young, another child, who wouldn’t let her have a turn on a swing, made fun of her while eating olives from a jar and being mean. She later tried olives as an adult but failed.
A．We like sweet and hate bitter.
B．Love it or hate it is pretty clear.
C．But your biology is not everything.
D．It is related to familiarity and not biology.
E．Your preference can come down to genetics.
F．Associations can make you like or not like something.
G．Just one bad experience can turn you off from something for life.

七、书面表达
72．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot. The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink.
As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air.
My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My hesitation melted away.

The enchanting landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Guizhou fascinated her, causing her to make this foreign country her home.（这个家庭在中国追求他们的农业梦想始于2000年，当时Kevin的母亲Hetty Cillen第一次作为中国志愿者来到中国。贵州迷人的风景和丰富的文化遗产让她着迷，使她把这个外国当成了自己的家。）”可知，贵州迷人的风景和丰富的文化遗产让Hetty Cillen着迷，所以她决定定居在贵州。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The family farm, hidden within the dense forest, is proof of Guizhou’s ecological progress. The farm practices diversified grass cultivation for high-quality animal feed, uses solar panels for clean energy and employs rainwater harvesting systems for a stable water supply.（隐藏在茂密森林中的家庭农场是贵州生态进步的证明。农场种植多样化的草料以提供高质量的动物饲料，使用太阳能电池板提供清洁能源，并采用雨水收集系统以确保稳定的水源。）”可知，这个家庭农场通过实践可持续的农业方式来促进贵州的生态进步。故选C项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Partnering with Qiu Ye, a social media influencer, he has set up accounts like ‘Kevin’s family in Guizhou’ on various platforms.（他与社交媒体网红邱野合作，在各种平台上开设了‘Kevin在贵州的家人’等账号。）”可知，Kevin通过在各种平台上开设账号来推广农场。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段“Nestled in the heart of a mountain village in China’s Guizhou province, there is a unique ecological family farm. It is run by Kevin Cillen, a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land. With his parents and siblings, they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to cultivate an ‘ecological oasis’.（坐落在中国贵州省一个山村的中心，有一个独特的生态家庭农场。它由28岁的比利时人Kevin Cillen经营，他对这片土地充满热情。他们与父母和兄弟姐妹一起，将西方农业技术与当地农村实践相结合，培育出一片‘生态绿洲’）”可知，本文主要讲述了比利时人Kevin Cillen和他的家人在中国贵州省经营生态农场的故事。所以，A项“Belgians Harvest a Good Farm Life in Guizhou（比利时人在贵州收获美好的农场生活）”最适合作文章标题。故选A项。
28．C 29．B 30．D 31．C
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.可知，研究结果发现，蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料，也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第四段The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物) 可知，下一步研究是辨清分解的原因，查明这种酶来源于哪里，是虫子自己产生的还是它肠道里的微生物产生的。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可以推断出，Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用，而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。
31．写作意图题。根据文章第一段最后一句So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.可知，有一种新的方法被用于分解塑料。再根据最后一段最后一句But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可知，Bertocchini希望将这种方法推广到工业中。由此可以推知写作意图为介绍一种分解塑料的方法。故选C。
点睛：根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的，通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点），常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息），多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。本题的最后一题为写作意图题。文章为说明文，主要介绍了一项新的研究发现---蠕虫可以分解塑料。因此可以推着写作意图是告知、告诉读者一种新的分解塑料的方法。
32．A 33．D 34．D 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了大脑的习惯化及其对快乐和痛苦体验的影响，并通过具体例子说明如何利用这一现象来提升生活体验。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant, seated at the best table — next to a window with great views. It is nice and quiet, but the joy experienced during the first hour fades over time. The reason Habituation.(想象一下，在你最喜欢的餐厅用餐，坐在最好的桌子旁——靠窗，视野极佳。这里安静宜人，但第一小时所体验到的快乐会随着时间的推移而逐渐消失。原因是什么？适应现象。)”可知，作者通过描述在最喜欢的餐厅用餐的生动例子来引入适应的概念。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“She interviewed people worldwide and asked them to rate their feelings throughout their holidays in the survey. The data revealed that joy peaked 43 hours in. At the end of day two was when they were happiest.(她采访了世界各地的人，并要求他们在调查中对自己的假期感受进行评分。数据显示，快乐在43小时时达到顶峰。第二天结束时是他们最快乐的时刻。)”可知，Tali的调查显示的是快乐的巅峰时刻。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据上文“What about unpleasant experiences Should you divide those up too Most people want to bear the unpleasantness bit by bit. When researchers asked people whether they would like a break from a bad smell or just bear it all at once and be done with it,90 people said, “Breaks, please!”. The vast majority — 82 out of 119 — also said they wanted a break from an annoying noise. However, this is incorrect. (那不愉快的经历呢？也应该把它们拆分来面对吗？大多数人都想一点一点地承受不愉快。研究人员曾询问人们，面对难闻的气味，他们是希望中途休息一下，还是干脆一次性忍完就结束，有90人回答：“请给我休息时间！”。绝大多数人——119人中的82人——也表示，面对令人烦躁的噪音，他们也想中途暂停。然而，这种做法是错误的。)”可知，对于不愉快的任务，更明智的做法是不要拆分它们。由此可知，chop them up意为“将任务拆分，中间中断”。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据第三段“This evidence suggests that you might benefit most from several small trips spread through the year, rather than one long escape. That way, you will experience the pleasure more often.(这些证据表明，一年中分散进行几次小旅行可能比一次时间较长的外出更能让你受益。这样，你会更频繁地体验到快乐。)”可知，作者可能会同意分散进行几次小旅行，即新鲜的周末旅行。故选A。
36．B 37．E 38．C 39．D 40．G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章分析讲述了人们对食物有所偏好的原因。
36．前文“Cilantro is a common food that people tend to either adore or abuse.( 香菜是一种常见的食物，人们要么喜欢它，要么讨厌它。)”提到人们对香菜的喜好，下文“But the reasons behind what you like and don’t like are not always so straightforward.(但你喜欢什么和不喜欢什么背后的原因并不总是那么直截了当。)”提到了喜好的原因并不那么简单，因此推断空处需承上启下，B项“爱它或恨它是很清楚的。”符合语境，承接上文说明对食物的喜好简单明了，因此下文对偏好背后原因的探索。故选B。
37．根据下文“Scientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体，发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知，此处讲述了基因对食物偏爱的影响，因此推断E项“你的偏好可以归结为基因”符合语境。故选E。
38．根据前文“cientists looked at olfactory (receptors and discovered that individuals with a certain gene. OR6A2, are more sensitive to smelling cilantro. That, in turn, affects how people sense its flavor.( 科学家们观察了嗅觉受体，发现具有某种基因的个体。OR6A2对香菜的气味更敏感。这反过来又影响了人们对其味道的感知。)”可知，基因造成了对食物的偏好，下文“When you’re open to these foods, you learn to like what you eat. Even people who hate cilantro may be able to learn to at least tolerate it, if not like it.( 当你对这些食物敞开心扉时，你就会学会喜欢你吃的东西。即使是讨厌香菜的人，即使不喜欢它，至少也能学会忍受它。)”讲述如果学会接受，对食物偏好也会改变，与上文是转折关系，因此推断C项“但生理并不是一切。”符合语境，承上启下。故选C。
39．前文“Culture plays a big role in what you like, too. Food preferences vary across cultures. When it comes down to food preferences in different parts of the world, it has a lot to do with what’s available and considered a food staple (主食).( 文化对你的喜好也起着很大的作用。不同文化对食物的偏好各不相同。当谈到世界不同地区的食物偏好时，它与什么是可用的和被认为是主食有很大关系。)”讲述对食物的喜好与文化有关，D项“这与熟悉程度有关，与生物学无关。”符合语境，说明对食物的熟悉程度决定着喜好，it指代上文提到的文化对喜好的影响。故选D。
40．前文“While preferences can be formed after a few attempts, negative experiences with foods, especially when you’re young, can have a lasting effect.(虽然偏好可以在几次尝试后形成，但对食物的负面体验，尤其是在你年轻的时候，可能会产生持久的影响。)”讲述对食物的体验对偏好的影响，G项中的“bad experience”呼应前文的experiences，因此推断G项“一次糟糕的经历就能让你对某件事失去兴趣。”符合语境。故选G。
41．D 42．B 43．C 44．D 45．B 46．A 47．C 48．D 49．B 50．D 51．C 52．A 53．D 54．B 55．C

72． My hesitation melted away. I grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light.
I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too.
