A
Many college students choose to study abroad to get life experience and, more importantly) competitive competence for their future career and life. Considering the high tuition rates in universities in the UK and US, many students nowadays are choosing less common destinations to fulfill their overseas study dreams. These countries have their own unique appeal.
New Zealand
Small though it may be, New Zealand offers quality higher education opportunities, with about 55 percent of its higher education institutes within the top 500 of QS World University Rankings 2019.
The highlight of New Zealand's universities is their ability to provide a high end and student-tailored education for pupils. Though it attracts mainly wealthy students, higher education in New Zealand is also affordable for many common Chinese families. It is where you get a British-based education with the tuition being some of the lowest in the world.
Italy
Heart of the Roman Empire and birthplace of the Renaissance, Italy is attractive to Chinese students for its artistic and historic marvels.
Similar to Germany, where publicly funded universities offer free undergraduate education, some publicly funded Italian universities offer tuition-free education for international students depending on the level of degree desired. Italy is the 4th most popular study abroad destination in Europe. Each year, over 4,000 Chinese students further their studies at publicly funded Italian universities.
Canada
Though Chinese students form the largest international student group in Canada, the country only ranks 4th on Chinese students' most desirable overseas destinations list.
However, the situation may begin to change as Canada and China agreed on new visa policy in early March. Under the policy? travel visas are issued with lengths of up to 10 years, which benefits Chinese parents whose children are studying in Canada, Another advantage of studying in Canada, according to an official in the Canadian Embassy to China, is that students can get a three-year working visa right after graduation,

"Please, Max! You'll have a great time!” Kendra gave me her puppy-dog eyes, and I hesitated. "Sure, okay. I'll do this Hope thing,” I sighed, and she put a pledge sheet (承诺表)into my hand. I was supposed to get people to support me for an overnight walk to raise money for cancer research. I hated asking people for money, and I hated the thought of walking around the high school track for 24 hours. I wrote my own name down on the sheet and pledged 10 dollars. There. That was enough.
Friday afternoon I arrived at the track, "Thanks, Max This means a lot to me," Kendra smiled. As she took my form a weak woman wearing a bright bandanna around her head came up to us. Kendra hugged her, and I suddenly realized who she was.
"I didn't know. " I said.
“It's okay. She's going to beat it.” Kendra pulled out her pledge sheet It was covered with pledges, front and back, "You can hand in your pledge sheet now, if you want," she said.
Suddenly I looked at my empty sheet. That's how I was feeling inside, empty. "Uh, no, not yet," I said
"Walkers, we're ready to start! " Mayor Harris called through a megaphone, and people started moving toward the starting line.
"Do you want to take the first turn?" Kendra asked.
"No, you go first. I still have a few people to call, "I said, pulling out my cellphone. I called everyone I knew-every relative, every friend. I begged4 promised — and I nearly filled my pledge sheet.
As the darkness deepened, Mayor Harris began to speak "This disease has touched everyone," 'she said. "We've come so far, and now more and more people are surviving. Yet there still is no absolute cure. Your participation here will support research, so that more people can be labeled survivors,”
Then the survivors took to the track for the first lap by candlelight. As they walked, I thought of the money I was raising, of how it would be used, and I knew that I was accomplishing something important.

Next time you bear John Denver singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads” ---or hear the group Spank perform it in the short filmed advertisement for the video game Fallout 76, which has become a hit over the past year or so since it came out — keep in mind that it wasn't anywhere in West Virginia that inspired the great hit, but rather a road in Montgomery County.
Songwriter Bill Danoff, in a 1997 article he wrote for The Washington Post in memory of Denver, who'd just died, said he had begun writing the song while driving to a family reunion along Clopper Road , near Gaithersburg. He and his future wife, Taffy Nivert, completed the song in December 1970 with Denver's help. "Back then," Danoff wrote, Clopper Road “was still a country road,"
The three first sang the song the following night at Washington, D, C, 's The Cellar Door» where Denver was headlining. "When we first sang the song together, "Danoff wrote, “it seemed -as though the audience would never stop applauding. Next show, the same thing. We knew we had a hit."
In "(Take MeHome," his 1994 autobiography(自传))Denver wrote,” In the small hours of the morning, sometime between Christmas and New Year's Eve, in their basement apartment in Washington, D, C., we wrote 'Take Me Home, Country Roads.” It became my first Number One record. "
No word on why Maryland lost out to West Virginia in the lyrics. Perhaps "Maryland” just doesn't sound like the countryside as its western neighbor. More likely, the three syllables(音节)that make up our state's name just don't fit; the meter the songwriters had worked out.
Some sources suggest Denver considered using "Massachusetts" instead of "West Virginia, " Good thing he didn't, or crazed Red Sox fans might be singing it between matches. A song to Massachusetts also would never have been named a state song of West Virginia, a status "Take Me Home, Country Roads” has enjoyed since 2014.
28, Which of the following injected Bill Danoff the inspiration to write "Take Me Home, Country Roads” ?
A. Maryland. B. West Virginia. C. Massachusetts. D. Washington D. C.
29, What was the audience's reaction when they first heard "Take Me Home, Country Roads"?
A. People all didn't fancy its lyrics. B. Most people assumed that it was noisy,
C. They made bad comments on the singers, D. They were all fascinated by it.
30. What does Para, 5 mainly convey?
A. Why Maryland was unused. B. Why the song was so popular.
C. More achievements of the singers. D. A new way to understand the song.
31. What can be learned about "Take Me Home, Country Roads” from the last paragraph?
A. It is popular among Red Sox fans.
B. It is a state song of West Virginia.
C. It earned Denver a national award in 2014.
D. It was played most frequently in Massachusetts.
D
Like all cultural institutions, galleries and art fairs are adapting to a new reality.
Art Basel Hong Kong, Asia's biggest contemporary-art fair, was cancelled because of covid-19, but anyone he who had planned to visit last week could enjoy an experimental alternative: the viewing room. At the click of a keyboard) you could enter an overall view but private visual salon, without having to brave the airless Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
There, on one webpage, was Jeff Koons riffing(翻唱)on Botticelli's "Primavera" in a tribute to the history of painting at David Zwirner Gallery. Ota Fine Arts offered one collector the chance to acquire an "infinity(无限)room“, one of the most Instagrammed artworks of recent years- the creation of the fantasies, nonagenarian (九十多岁) Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. White Cube presented a large collection of international works by Andreas Gursky (German), Theaster Gates (American) and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazilian). But not every artist, gallery and form showed to equal advantage in this alternative fair. Not surprisingly, simple two-dimensional works in bright colours came across best No sculpture or conceptual art was included
Besides depth and texture, there are aspects of gallery hopping that a website is unlikely to copy. One is serendipity the sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. Another is sociability. Art is a communion between artist and viewer, but galleries and fairs are also places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms.
There are ways to compensate (or these inevitable(不可避免的)disadvantages. As they shut their physical doors, some of the world's nest galleries and museums are offering advanced interactive visits, 360 degree videos and walk around tours of their collections, all without queues and high ticket prices. One of
the best is laid on by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam; its tour allows visitors to view its Vermeers and Rembrandts, including the magnicent "Night Watch”, far more closely than would normally he possible. Another standout offering is from the Museu de Arte de SPaulo, which has an even broader collection. On its virtual platform, its pain tings, spanning 700 years, appear to be hanging in an open-plan space, seemingly hung on glass panels, or "crystal easels” as the. museum calls them, ideal for close-up inspection,
32. From the paragraph 3, we may know
A. "Primavera" was originally painted by JeKoons
B. “innity room” was the most popular artworks of recent years on social media
C. White Cube displayed a great many works by artists from different nations
D. Various paintings and statues showed on the webpage are well-received
33. What does the underlined word "serendipity" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. surprise B, treasure C. expectation D. compromise
34. What is the purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To introduce some popular art show in the world.
B. To show that there are some alternative ways to promote the display during covid-19 epidemic.
C. To prove that paintings hung on glass panels can be ideal for close-up inspection,
D. To release some information about some extraordinary art shows.
35. What is the best title?
A. Art beyond the internet. B. Fascinating art. C. Art under covid-19. D. gallery hopping

So, try to take a pre-study test You could look at some important words at the end of a chapter of an English book, for example. And you could ask yourself what they mean, or how they are used. While you might not know the answer, you will probably be better able to learn and remember the answer when you study it!

D. Environmental context played a big part in how well people remembered words,

Many cultures have traditions to scare off bad lucks when people celebrate the New Year, which involves using fireworks like in China. But there are other ways which people do it. In Scotland, for example, people had the tradition of bonfire celebrations over the past few decades. Men from villages walk through the streets with giant fireballs holding over their heads. In Panama, bonfires are used to burning pictures of popular
celebrities. Therefore, some traditions meant to avoid from misfortune do not involve in fire at all. For instance, people in Denmark find the highest surface they can and jump from itself. The hope is what they leave behind the bad spirits of the previously years and enter a New Year full of new beginnings.
