Here are some famous universities with wonderful academic research performance and global reputations.Harvard UniversityFounded in 1636, Harvard has the largest endowment in the world, with over 20% international students. Its library is the largest academic one in the world, possessing around 19 million volumes at its over 70 libraries. For Harvard undergraduates, the majors梥ocial sciences, biology/biological sciences, history, math and psychology, are their top choices.Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua traces back to 1911, whose international students come from over 100 countries. Recently, 41% of the university's non-Chinese students were under graduates.

When a child like Shay comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child. Seeing some boys playing baseball, Shay wondered if he could join in. His father knew it difficult, but he also understood if Shay were allowed, it would give him a sense of belonging.Thankfully, Shay was admitted by one boy, whose team was losing by one run (褝扺R), to play in the outfield. Though no hits came his way, Shay was still ecstatic just to be in the game, grinning (@w4V{) from ear to ear as his father waved to him. Eventually, the potential winning came while Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture (sQ4Y), let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew the hit was impossible. Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly. The pitcher (昩Kb) moved in some steps to throw softly so Shay could hit it, but Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher took more steps forward to throw softly again. This time, Shay made it, hitting a slow ground ball back to the pitcher.The pitcher picked up the ball and could have easily thrown it to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead the pitcher threw it on a high arc ('_) to right field, far beyond the reach of the first baseman. Everyone started yelling,  Shay, run to first! Never in his life had Shay ever made it. He scampered (蔪LaTY褝) down the baseline, wide-eyed and frightened.  Run to second! Meanwhile, the first baseman had the ball, who could have thrown it to the second baseman, but he also intentionally threw the ball higher and farther over the third baseman s head.  Run to third! the boys from both teams were screaming,  Shay, run home! That day, Shay was cheered as the hero who hit the  grand slam (hQ扺Sb) and won the game for his team. In the stand, a man s face was flooded with tears.4. According to Shay's father, what could Shay get from playing baseball with the boys?A. True human nature. B. People s presents. C. A sense of belonging. D. Physical exercise.5. What does the underlined word 揺cstatic in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Shy. B. Puzzled. C. Thrilled. D. Embarrassed.6. Why did the basemen throw the ball high and far?A. To win the game. B. To make Shay run longer.C. To create a high and beautiful arc. D. To assist Shay to hit the 揼rand slam?7. What can we learn from Shay抯 story?A. Never say die. B. Sharp tools make good work.C. Every dog has its day. D. Kindness is not a science, but an action.CSome people have glibly{弴s0W called it the "Chinese burger." But roujiamo, a food that has its origins in northern China's Shaanxi Province, is different from what you'd order at Burger King, with a far longer 2,000-year-old history. Roujiamo is a thing of beauty  a soft but chewy bun filled with small pieces of braised杙 pork.Most amazingly, some customers might show their respect for the pork in this little bun, which was just bathed in the soup that is older than them. Among a sea of tough competition, Lijiarongxi, a restaurant recognized as the best roujiamo place in town, should owe its success to the soup used to slow-cook its meat, which has been braised on the stove since the founder, Mr. Li, first braised it 27years ago. In fact, most restaurants of good fame have an exclusive heritage recipe禰 O貀筫 for their soups that often date back to decades ago. The soup in Fanji Roujiamo, one of Xi'an's best-known roujiamo restaurants, is believed to be more than 80 years old!You might eat the bun quickly in seconds, but like all good things, it should be given time to enjoy. Chefs braise the pork in its decade-old soup for hours and let it sit overnight, making the meat more tender. Such tenderly cooked meat is what lends this dish the nickname "lao han xi" in Xianyang. That's because the best roujiamo meat is so soft that it should melt in your mouth without having to chew it imagining the elderly customers in question, without a perfect set of teeth.It's also worth noting that like most types of regional Chinese food, roujiamo varies depending on the city and community. Buns come baked or pan-fried, and for the meat, Muslim communities in Shaanxi often use beef, while people in Ningxia usually choose lamb.8. What is right about roujiamo?A. A soft but chewy bun with meat.B. A pork bun with a history less than 2,000 years.C. A kind of food ordered at Burger King.D. A typical burger originating in Shaanxi Province.9. What is the main factor that makes roujiamo amazing?A. A sea of fierce competition. B. The softness of the meat.C. The soup used to braise the meat. D. Its exclusive heritage recipes.10. What does the nickname "lao han xi" suggest in Paragraph 3?A. The decade-old soup is so attractive that the old feel like bathing in it.B. The meat gets soft and is friendly for the old to eat, making them happy.C. The meat turns tough after being braised in its decade-old soup for hours.D. The meat melts in the mouth of the old, who sigh for not tasting it successfully.11. What are the tones of the passage?A. Humorous and affectionate. B. Ridiculous and religious.C. Serious but affectionate. D. Humorous but ridiculous.DMy favorite novel is Albert Camus's The Plague( 煫u). It was published in 1947, after Word Wara!. On the surface, it's a story about an Algerian coastal town threatened by a mysterious plague. But the symbolic idea works on the concrete presentation of a metaphysical(b_ € Nf[剉) problem, which is the cruel fact of suffering. Like the plague, it's just a thing that happens in the world whether we want it to or not. Camus's novel asks if we can think of suffering not as an individual burden but as a shared experience梐nd maybe turn it into something positive. The key is to recognize the universality of suffering. A plague is an extraordinary event and the horror it results in is extraordinary, too. But suffering is anything but extraordinary. Every day you leave the house, something terrible could happen. The same is true for all. All of us are subject to forces over which we have no control. A pandemic forces us to think about our responsibilities to the people around us. The hero of The Plague is a committed doctor named Rieux. From the very beginning, Rieux devotes himself to resisting the plague that united its victims. Each character in the story is defined(;R;u) by what they do when the plague comes. No one escapes it, but those who reduce the suffering of others are the most fulfilled. The only villains are those who cannot see beyond themselves. The plague, for these people, is either an excuse to flee or an opportunity to make profits. Because they can't see that their condition is shared, a spirit of unity is completely foreign to them. And that blindness makes community impossible. At the very end of The Plague, Camus stated his philosophy that the struggle against suffering is never over for good. The plague will return, and so will everything else that upsets humans. But the point of the book is that a shared struggle is what makes community possible in the first place. A pandemic, terrible though it is, highlights our mutual interdependence in a way that only tragedy can. The beauty of The Plague is that it asks the reader to map the lessons of the pandemic onto everyday life. The principles that drive the hero, Rieux, are the same principles that make every society worthwhile梪nderstanding, love and unity. If we learn these lessons, in a moment of crisis, we'll all be better off on the other side of it. 12. What is the symbolic idea of The Plague? A. An individual burden. B. A positive experience. C. A universal suffering. D. An extraordinary event. 13. What does the underlined word mean? A. The blind. B. Businessmen. C. Foreign victims. D. Wrongdoers. 14. According to the author, what can we learn from The Plague? A. We should think of unity more than individual calculation. B. The pandemic cannot be defeated as it will make a comeback. C. Understanding, love and unity rid the society of struggle. D. We'll be better off in a moment of crisis if listening to a doctor. 15. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce a book. B. To solve a social problem. C. To remember a writer. D. To express an opinion. 孨07 ?Throughout history, the world looks for heroes in times of uncertainty. But what makes a hero? A cape (玝螛) and tights? Heroism is something that every one of us can aspire (4ng) to, but not all of us will achieve. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero: bravery, compassion, dedication and sacrifice. In a paper published in Review of General Psychology, researchers Blau, Franco and Zimbardo agreed on a definition of heroism: Heroes voluntarily serve others in need and are willing to make sacrifices for these actions without expecting any reward or personal gain. 16 . People who become heroes care for the people around them and are also able to see things from others' perspectives. They value the well-being of others. 17 .

For example, first aid training or knowledge of kung fu may be useful in certain situations and pave the path for heroism. Even if you possess heroic traits, the right situation must arise in order to truly become a hero. Only when there are dangerous situations can a hero rise up to save the day. 18 . This is true bravery. Heroes are needed every day, and we can read about them in the most recent news. 19 . Doctors and nurses treat sick patients despite the risk of becoming sick themselves. Others have changed lives by donating a life-saving organ or just doing a favor when there's a need.Even though most of us won't save the world, 20 . American actor Christopher Reeve, most famous for his role as Superman, said, "A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway." A. Heroes always have good purposes and brave to face danger.B. We can work at developing the hero inside of us.C. Empathy and compassion for others are also common traits that all heroes seem to possess. D. Heroes are everywhere to find.E. To be a hero, you must have certain strengths.F. There are firefighters who run into burning buildings to save the people inside.G. A hero must risk his or her life to save others. N0孾媁kXzzA local community college professor decided to fight back.
