The program aims to apply leadership skills to social issues.Through case studies, discussions and debates,students examine complicated global issues and learn to come up with effective solutions.‎ Students Today Leaders Forever Students Today Leaders Forever,a national non-profit student leadership association,offers this live-in summer experience for high school students.Students participate in leadership workshops and ‎ team-building activities with a focus on organization,teamwork,communication,and an overall commitment to effecting positive change.There are two six-day sessions hosted on the campuses of Hamline University.‎ Leadership in the Business World Rising high school seniors interested in exploring undergraduate business administration and leadership are encouraged to apply to this program,sponsored every summer by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.The two-week program is offered at both of Wharton' s campuses in San Francisco and Philadelphia.‎ National Student Leadership Conference This program offers a five-day course on Mastering Leadership.It includes a series of workshops that emphasize the"Pillars of Effective Leadership",including goal- setting,group brainstorming,team building,people-convincing communication,and community service,as well as taking field trips,meeting with leadership professionals, and completing a day of service in the local community.Dates and locations vary.‎ ‎21.What can students do in the program offered by Brown University?‎ A.Meet with leadership professionals.‎ B.Participate in community service.‎ C.Analyze difficult world issues.‎ D.Take several field trips.‎ ‎22.Which program is located at Hamline University's campuses?‎ A.Students Today Leaders Forever.‎ B.The Brown Leadership Institute.‎ C.Leadership in the Business World.‎ D.National Student Leadership Conference.‎ ‎23.

D.One month.‎ B The gender gap in maths-related subjects is obvious.In almost all countries,far fewer women than men choose STEM(理工科）careers.‎ It's not that girls and women are bad at maths.In the UK in 2019,for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A*,compared to 42% of boys.For A-level physics,29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys.But in both subjects,boys heavily outnumbered girls-by more than 3:1 in the case of physics.So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?‎ A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability,but the ability in question is reading, not maths.Thomas Breda ,at Paris School of Economics,and Clotilde Napp,at Paris Dauphine University,wondered whether this ‎ male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers.Every three years,hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries take part in the PISA study.Students complete tests in maths,reading and science,and answer questions about their future career intentions.When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012,they realized they were on to something.‎ ‎＂There were small gender gaps in maths performance at 15 years old,but these gaps were too small to explain the huge gender segregation(隔离）in STEM,”says Breda.But for reading,the tables were turned;the girls were much better than the boys.As a result,when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths,the girl usually had an even better score in reading.‎ When Breda and Napp compared each student's scores in reading and maths,they found the greater a student's advantage in reading,the less likely they were to plan a career in maths,even when their maths score was also high.Notably,this was true for both boys and girls.‎ ‎＂It makes a lot of sense,"says Sarah Cattan,of the Institute for Fiscal Studies."It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading,but how good they are in maths relative to reading.”‎ ‎24.What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?‎ A.The average gender difference in maths performance is small.‎ B.Those who are good at maths are also good at physics.‎ C.Physics tends to be easier for girls than maths.‎ D.Girls are not better than boys at maths.‎ ‎25.According to Breda and Napp,who is most likely to plan a career in maths?‎ A.Tom whose maths is worse than reading.‎ B.Lisa whose maths is better than reading.‎ C.Lily whose reading is better than maths.‎ D.Jack whose reading is as good as maths.‎ ‎26.According to Sarah Cattan,what do students value much when making further study choices?‎ A.Their comparative strength instead of absolute ability.‎ B.Their gender advantages in a specific academic field.‎ C.Their future job landing possibility in an industry.‎ D.Their particular interest in a certain subject.‎ ‎27.What is the best title for the text?‎ A.Why are we drawn to STEM careers?‎ B.Are boys worse at reading and writing?‎ C.Why are girls bad at maths-related subjects?‎ D.Are good readers more likely to give up maths?‎ C It's hard for doctors to do a thorough eye exam on small children.But a new smartphone app takes advantage of parents' fondness for taking pictures of their children to look for signs that a child might be developing an eye disease.‎ The app is the result of a father's five-year quest to find a way to catch the earliest signs of eye diseases,and prevent loss of vision.Five years ago,doctors diagnosed(诊断）Noah Shaw's retinoblastoma- a rare type of eye cancer-when he was 4 months old.To make the diagnosis,the doctors shined a light into Noah's eye,and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball,an indication that there was something wrong there.Noah's father Bryan,a scientist,wondered if he could see that same pale reflection in pictures of his baby son.Sure enough,he saw the reflection,which doctors call"white eye",in a picture taken right after Noah was born.‎ Then Bryan decided to create an app that could scan photos for signs of this reflection.Now,that app exists,called CRADLE.To test the app,Bryan and his colleagues analyzed more than 50,000 pictures taken of 40 children.Half had no eye disease and half had."On average,the app detected 'white eye 'in pictures collected 1.3 years before diagnosis,"says Bryan.‎ The app isn't perfect.It sometimes misses"white eye"when it's there,and sometimes says it's there when it's not.That latter condition is a problem.Even though the so-called false positive occurs less than 1% of the time,that's not good enough.There are about 4 million children born in the U.S.each year.A 1%false positive rate would mean tens of thousands of children showing up at the doctor unnecessarily.‎ Still,Bryan is upbeat about the promise of the app."This is exciting new technology,and this is how I think we're going to go about screening for a number of diseases in the future,”he says.‎ ‎28.What inspired Bryan to create CRADLE?‎ A.His son's diagnosis.‎ B.is family photos.‎ C.His hobby of taking pictures.‎ D.His working experience as a scientist.‎ ‎29.What do we know about"white eye”？‎ A.It is a sign of some eye diseases.‎ B.It hardly causes serious loss of vision.‎ C.It refers to the white part of an eyeball.‎ D.It occurs when no light is reflected from the eye.‎ ‎30.Why is a 1%false positive rate still a problem?‎ A.It may delay the treatment of a patient.‎ B.It may badly affect the future of the app.‎ C.It may raise serious doubts about doctors.‎ D.It may cause a waste of medical resources.‎ ‎31.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"upbeat"in the last paragraph?‎ A. Curious. B. Cautious. C.Optimistic. D. Worried.‎ D(★)‎ Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)(孤独症）is a disability that can cause serious social,communication and behavioral problems.There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that makes them different from other people,but people with ASD may communicate,interact,behave,and learn in ways that are different from most other people.The learning,thinking,and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from pretty good to extremely bad.Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives;others need less.‎ People with ASD often have problems with social,emotional,and communication skills.They might repeat certain behaviors and might not want change in their daily activities.Many people with ASD may also have difficulties learning,paying attention, or reacting to things.Signs of ASD begin during early childhood and probably last throughout a person's life.‎ Diagnosing(诊断）ASD can be difficult since there is no medical test,like a blood test,to assess the disorders.Doctors look at the child's behavior and development to make a judgement.ASD can sometimes be diagnosed at 18 months or younger.By age 2,an experienced doctor can be considered very reliable in diagnosing ASD.However, many children may not see a doctor until much older.‎ There is currently no cure for ASD.However,research shows that early treatment services can improve a child's development.Early treatment services help children from birth to 3 years old(36 months)learn important skills.Therefore,it is important to talk to your child's doctor as soon as possible if you think your child has ASD or other developmental problems.‎ We do not know all of the causes of ASD.However,most scientists agree that genes are one of the highest risk factors that can make a person more likely to develop ASD.‎ If you think your child might have ASD or you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays,learns,speaks,or acts,contact your child's doctor,and share your concerns.If you're not sure who to contact,call the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center(ECTA)at 919-962-2001.Or visit the ECTA website:https://ectacenter.org.‎ ‎32.Which of the following behaviors may NOT belong to the children or adults with ASD?‎ A.Repeating actions over and over again.‎ B.Having trouble expressing their needs.‎ C.Avoiding eye contact and want to be alone.‎ D.Being happy to make changes.‎ ‎33.What can we infer from the article?‎ A.The earlier an ASD kid is diagnosed,the better it is for his(her)treatment.‎ B.Doctors simply have no way to diagnose an ASD kid at all.‎ C.Doctors can diagnose ASD by blood testing.‎ D.Doctors can diagnose ASD with the help of machines. ‎ ‎34.Who is most likely to be an ASD patient of the following people?‎ A.Someone who prefers to talk a lot in daily life.‎ B.Someone who has got an ASD brother.‎ C.Someone who wants to hug you in public.‎ D.Someone who sings in a strange voice.‎ ‎35.Where is this article possibly from?‎ A.A guidebook for new parents.‎ B.Education section of a newspaper.‎ C.A student's diary.‎ D.A medical magazine.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎

he appeared to be about twelve,he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life."Bananas 300 naira (a unit of currency in Nigeria).Peanuts 200 naira."He said in a low voice.I bargained him down to 200 totals for the fruit and nuts.When he agreed,I handed him a 500 naira bill.He didn't have change,so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.‎ When,two weeks later,I saw the boy again,I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun.My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.‎ I pulled over and rolled down my window.He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready.I waved them away.“What's up?”I asked him.‎ ‎＂I...I don't have money to buy books for school."I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills."Will this help?"I asked.He looked around nervously before taking the money.One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year."Thank you,sir."he said.“Thank you very much!”‎ When driving home,I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks.What if he's a cheat?And then I wondered why I did it.Did I do it to make myself feel better?Was I using him?‎ 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。‎ Later,I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him,nor did I think to ask.___‎
