A
So many everyday activities in modern life are done over the Internet. This includes
everything from buying clothes to watching movies to even applying for colleges.
Almost every college and university in the United States now offers some forms of
Internet-based application. And future students can see photographs of schools on their websites.
Some even provide video tours. Candidates can find all kinds of information about the schools
they hope to attend all over the Internet. But Ed Bustos, director of international admission at
Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, argues that students miss out on a lot when they only use
Internet information to make their college decisions. He says the best way to get a detailed look at
what life is like at any college or university is by visiting the campus.
School visits are very common in the U. S. , Bustos notes. Most students begin visiting
colleges and universities of interest in the summer before their final year of high school. But, the
majority of colleges and universities let interested students and their families visit their campuses
at almost any time of year. Bustos suggests that students get in touch with the admissions offices
of the schools that interest them. Then they can join other visiting students for a free guided tour
of the campus.
Current students usually lead the tours, Bustos notes. Their job is to provide information,
offer advice and show future students all the different parts of the campus, such as housing and
classrooms. So students should prepare plenty of questions.
Bustos also notes that it is never too early to visit a school. He says students should consider
visiting any college or university they can. This could be years before they even start thinking
about the application process. And it does not matter if the school they visit is the one they have
interest in attending, he says. Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful
for young people.
21. Through the websites of colleges and universities future students can______ .
A. see what the campuses look like
B. take part in online group discussions
C. take online college courses
D. check in at their new schools
22. From the last paragraph we can know_____ .
A. a student should only visit the university that interests him
B. it's better to visit universities with a successful application
C. visiting universities at any time is helpful for students
D. it's difficult for students to successfully apply for a university3
23. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Practical Advice: Experiencing College Life in Advance
B. College Admissions: Visiting Schools to Learn More
C. Various Ways of Learning about a University
D. How to Apply for a College that You Like
B
Jose Rommel Umano, who is originally from the Philippines, moved to New York in the
autumn of 2016. He came on a family-reunification visa and joined his wife, who had been living
in America for some time. This is a typical tale: America gives more weight to close family
members when considering immigration applications than some other rich countries do. More
surprising is that Mr. Rommel Umano arrived with a master's degree from the University of Tokyo
and 20 years of experience as an architect in Japan.
Yet this, it turns out, is typical too. Nearly half of all the immigrants who arrived between
2011 and 2015 were college-educated. This is a level ^unheard of" in America, says Jeanne
Batalova, co-author of the paper containing the finding published by the Migration Policy Institute
(MPI).
One of Donald Trump's many executive orders instructed the Departments of Labour, Justice
and Homeland Security to examine immigration rules. The president, whose hostility to illegal
migrants is well-known, has also said that he would like to change the criteria for choosing legal
ones, pointing to Canada or Australia as models for America to copy.
In 1967, Canada became the first country to introduce a points system for immigration ；
Canada and Australia now both give priority to would-be migrants with degrees, work experience
and fluent English (and in Canada, French). Some of the president's advisers think this system is
better than America's family-centred approach.
The doomed immigration bill from 2013 that died in the House of Representatives also
reflected widespread enthusiasm for a points-based system. Two things ought to make this
enthusiasm less extreme.
First, Canada and Australia have concluded that pure points systems do not work well. A
surprisingly high percentage of the people admitted this way ended up unemployed. Both
countries have since changed their immigration criteria so that applicants who have job offers in
their pockets may jump the queue.
Second, migrants who move to America to join family members have become much better
educated. Of the more than 1 million new green-card holders (or permanent residents) in 2015, the
most recent year with numbers available, almost half were immediate relatives of citizens.
24. What is more influential when America deals with immigration applications?
A. Original nationalities. B. Family bonds.
C. Education backgrounds. D. Work experience.
25. How is the pure points-based system according to the passage?4
A. New. B. Cruel. C. Imperfect. D. Simple.
26. The immigrants who have arrived in America in recent years_______.
A. are of higher quality
B. often end up unemployed
C. get much better jobs in the country
D. all have immediate relatives in the country
C
New government research delivers some concerning news for U. S. teens—almost 1 in 5 have
prediabetes（前期糖尿病）. Young adults fared even worse—1 in 4 of those aged 19 to 34 have
prediabetes.
A person with prediabetes has higher than normal blood sugar levels. The levels aren't yet
high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. But often, people who have prediabetes go on to
develop type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes is very common among adolescents and young adults. We want people to know
that this is a serious health condition that raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart
disease and stroke, ” said study author Linda Andes, a statistician with the CDC's Division of
Diabetes Translation.
The good news? Prediabetes can be reversed, she said. “This can be a wake-up call to
motivate people into action—eating a healthier diet, getting more physical activity and losing
weight. ”
The researchers used data from nationally representative nutrition surveys that included
almost 6,000 teens and young adults. Blood sugar levels were assessed with three different testing
methods. Other tests, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, were also done.
The study found that 18% of teens had prediabetes. For young adults, that number was 24%.
Obese teens and young adults were more likely to have prediabetes. Male teens and young adults
were far more likely to have prediabetes than females.
Adolescents and young adults with prediabetes also had higher cholesterol and blood pressure,
and carried more weight around their abdomen（腹部）.Several experts not involved with the study
discussed the implications.
“The most significant issue I see is that even if a person does not go on to develop diabetes,
prediabetes itself is associated with increased cardiometabolic ( 心 血 管 代 谢 ) risks in many
people," said Dr. Mary Pat Gallagher, director of the pediatric diabetes center in New York City.
“This means that this group of people should undergo more careful screening and receive
more intensive counseling about changes in lifestyle that could improve their health," she said.
27. What do we know about people with prediabetes?
A. They have lower blood sugar levels.
B. They have lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
C. They are sure to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.5
D. They suffered from increased cardiometabolic risks.
28. Which of the following group is the most likely to have prediabetes?
A. Male obese teens. B. Male obese young adults.
C. Female obese teens. D. Female obese young adults.
29. What can we infer from Linda Andes’ words?
A. Eating a healthier diet can help change prediabetes.
B. Type 2 diabetes raises the risk of prediabetes.
C. Prediabetes only exists among adolescents and young adults.
D. Heart disease and stroke both contribute to prediabetes.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Prediabetes now common among teens and young adults.
B. The significance of researching prediabetes.
C. The symptoms of prediabetes.
D. Solutions to prediabetes.

Think about how much reading you do everyday. When you look at it, you might find that
reading is the work-related skill that you use most often! 31 After all, if we can read and
comprehend textbooks, then aren't we good readers? Maybe not. Given the time that reading
consumes, it may be a skill that we can and should improve.
32 It means getting faster and more efficient at reading, while still understanding what
you're reading. Although you spend a good part of your day reading, have you ever thought about
how you read? How do your eyes make sense of the shapes of the letters, and then put those letters
together to form sentences that you can understand?
Reading is quite a complex skill. It was previously believed during reading, both eyes focus
on particular letters. 33 Scientists now believe that the eyes lock onto different letters at the
same time, usually two characters apart. Your brain then fuses(融合 ) these images together to
form a word. This happens very swiftly, as we look through pages of the text!
Many people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute. 34 Imagine, then, if you
could double your rate to 500 words per minute. You could read all of this content in half the time.
You could then spend the saved time on other tasks, or take a few extra minutes to relax. 35
This leads to better “big picture" understanding, which can greatly benefit your work and career.
A. Recent research shows this isn't the case.
B. But what does becoming a better reader involve?
C. You need to practice to improve your reading speed.
D. It's also a skill that most of us take for granted by the time we reach age 12.
E. This means that an average page in a book or document takes 1- 2 minutes to read.6
F. Speed-reading has many benefits.
G. Another important advantage of speed-reading is that it allows one to better comprehend the
overall structure of an argument.

An unusual thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked
along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a
car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at
the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and asked, “It looks like you’ve got
a problem,” Arthur said.
“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two
suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble,
you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on
the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started
walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank. There had been a robbery!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the
alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined
the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a
different answer.
Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young
woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me
like that?” He thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another
thought, he started to run.
Paragraph 1:
As he was running，Arthur heard the young man shouting behind，"Stop, stop.”_____________
