It’s an exciting moment when you decide that you are going to study in the US! Before you start
packing your bags, here are several things that students need to have before applying to study in the US.
Application fee and financial information
Many students are not aware that they have to pay an application fee to apply to schools, colleges and
universities in the US. While this might not be a normal practice in other countries, this is standard in the
US.
Application fees can range in price depending on the school. Some schools charge as much as $90
while other schools charge as little as $25. Generally, schools will waive（免除）the application fee
under certain financial circumstances. If you need financial assistance to submit your application, contact
your prospective university’s admissions office.
In addition to the application fee, students are required to show proof of financial qualification.
Generally, most schools will require a copy of your bank statement but some schools may allow other
documents to show financial qualification.
Passport
As you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the US, you will need a passport to study in the US.
Schools in the US require prospective students to submit their passport numbers on their applications.
Without a passport, the school will not be able to issue the necessary forms for a student visa, if accepted.
Most importantly, your passport must be valid（有效的）six months beyond the time your planned
studies have been completed.

Academic records and test scores
There are many programs in the US and each has its requirements for admission. Some schools will
require students to submit SAT or ACT scores before submitting their applications. As an international
student, you will have to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score for consideration to an undergraduate program.
In addition, schools will require your previous academic transcripts (reports). These transcripts
should be from any previous learning institution, such as a high school. Obtaining academic transcripts
can be a time-consuming process, so make sure to plan ahead.
Applying to study in the US can be an overwhelming process but if you remember these key elements
needed to apply, you’ll experience an easy and simple application process.
21. What is a must for every international student to apply to study in the USA?
A. To pay application fees. B. To prove their financial qualification.
C. To submit SAT or ACT scores. D. To keep passports valid for 6 months.
22. What can we know from the passage?
A. The application process is easy, simple but time-consuming.
B. Paying application fees is not uncommon in other countries.

It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, 51, a technology
executive at a hospital, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were taking full advantage of it. They were
driving with the windows down as they headed home on the 1.4-mile, two-lane Route 90 bridge, which
spans the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by a high-pitched noise.
Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was slipping from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror,
it hit a BMW sedan and came to rest swinging over the rail of the bridge.
Bauer stopped his car and ran to the BMW. “Are you OK?” he asked the driver. She nodded, too
shocked to speak. And then the driver’s door of the pickup was thrown open and a man climbed out. He
pointed down, saying something in Spanish. In the water was a car seat. Next to it, a girl, about two years
old, was floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.
Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t. Maybe he was in shock. Bauer
jumped into the shallow water quickly, swam to the drowning girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out
of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder
and hit her back with the flat of his hand. Come on… come on…
And then a retching（干呕的）sound as ocean water came streaming from her mouth. But still no
breath. Another hit on the back and another retch, followed by an intake of fresh air, and then the beautiful
sense of little fingers grasping him around the neck. Her eyes were opened now, focused on him. A moment
later a family on a rowboat pulled up and dragged Bauer and the little girl aboard. The girl suffered a
broken shoulder but was otherwise uninjured.
Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a volunteer
firefighter so that she too could save lives. “That girl is going to live a whole life because of him,” she
says. “It’s incredible.”
24. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To uncover the Bauers’ feelings.
B. To introduce the upcoming event.
第 3 页 / 共8页 命题人/审题人：陈侨、黄磊、许蓓蓓、易文、马亚娟
C. To describe a scene along the coast.
D. To explain the disturbed calm to us.
25. What happened on the bridge?
A. Slipping from one lane to the other, a black pickup suddenly stopped.
B. Having crashed into the Bauers’ car, a BMW sedan slipped into the ocean.
C. Due to the fine weather, the Bauers pulled up to enjoy the wonderful view.
D. Out of control, a black pickup unfortunately crashed into a BMW sedan.
26. What can we know about the drowning girl?
A. Without Bauer’s help, she might have died.
B. She was the black pickup driver’s daughter.
C. She dropped off the car seat to the ground.
D. Right after Bauer hit her back, she breathed.
27. Which of the following can best describe Bauer?
A. Innovative and perseverant. B. Friendly and cooperative.
C. Courageous and decisive. D. Intelligent and patient.
C
A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a large and
important part of Antarctica is expected to disappear.
The study focused on the melting of protective ice around Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea in western
Antarctica. They said the “unavoidable” melting will take hundreds of years, resulting in a rise of nearly
1.8 meters in sea levels. This melting will have a profound impact on where and how people live in the
future. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, warns that even if future warming was limited to
just a few tenths of a degree more, it would have “limited power to prevent ocean warming that could lead
to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.”
The lead writer of the study, Kaitlin Naughten, explains that the research indicates that the Earth is
on a path towards rapid ocean warming and ice shelf melting over the coming century. While past studies
have talked about how serious the situation is, Naughten was the first to use computer modeling to study
how warm water from below will melt the ice. The study looked at four different cases in how much
carbon emissions the world produces. ln each case, ocean warming was just too much for this area of the
ice to survive. It also looked at what would happen if future warming was limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius
over mid-19th century levels: the international goal. They found the runaway melting process in this case
as well.
The study primarily focuses on the part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that is most at risk of melting
near the Amundsen Sea, including the Thwaites ice shelf, often referred to as the “Doomsday Glacier”.
According to Eric Rignot, an ice scientist at the University of California Irvine, this area is already
“doomed”（注定的）due to the rapid melting that has occurred. Naughten does not like to use the word
“doomed”, because she said 100 years from now, the world might not just stop but drive back carbon
levels in the air and climate change. But she said what is happening now on the ground is a slow collapse
that cannot be stopped, at least not in this century.
28. According to the study, what will be the consequence of the “unavoidable” melting of ice?
A. A fast collapse of the West Antarctica.
B. A rise in sea levels to at least 1.8 meters.
C. A change of people’s living places and life.
D. A significant reduction in carbon emissions.
29.What is special about Naughten’s research?
第 4 页 / 共8页 命题人/审题人：陈侨、黄磊、许蓓蓓、易文、马亚娟
A. Explaining why the Earth is on a path towards rapid ocean warming.
B. Adopting computer modeling to study the possibility of ice survival.
C. Finding the runaway melting process in the fourth case of ocean warming.
D. Comparing four cases in how much carbon emissions the world produces.
30. What would Naughten most probably agree with?
A. Ice shelf melting is unstoppable at least in the century.
B. The word “doomed” accurately describes the situation.
C. Carbon levels will never reach the international goal.
D. Past studied didn’t show how serious the situation is.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To explain the impact of carbon emissions on Antarctica.
B. To share the findings of a new study on Antarctic ice melting.
C. To analyze the potential consequences of rapid ocean warming.
D. To call for immediate action to prevent the Antarctic ice melting.
D
In 1945, two sculptures meant to represent the average man called Norman and woman called Norma
in the United States went on exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.
That same year, a contest was launched to find a living representation of Norma. Normal is often
used to mean “typical”, “expected”, or even “correct”. By that logic, most people should fit the description
of normal. And yet, not one of almost 4,000 women who participated in the contest matched Norma, the
supposedly “normal” woman.
This puzzle isn’t unique to Norma and Norman, either — time and time again, so-called normal
descriptions of our bodies, minds, and perceptions have turned out to match almost no one. So what does
normal actually mean — and should we be relying on it so much?
In statistics, a normal distribution describes a set of values that fall along a bell curve（曲线）. The
average, or mean, of all the values is at the very center, and most other values fall within the hump（驼峰）
of the bell. Normal doesn’t describe a single data point, but a pattern of diversity. Many human traits, like
height, follow a normal distribution. Some people are very tall or very short, but most people fall close to
the overall average. Outside of statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled
from the fattest part of the bell curve that excludes all the nuances of the normal distribution. Norma and
Norman’s proportions（比例）came from such averages.
Applied to individuals, whether someone is considered normal usually depends on how closely they
get to this average. At best, such definitions of normal fail to capture variation. When limited or inaccurate
definitions of normal are used to make decisions that impact people’s lives, they can do real harm. There
were examples in history.
To this day, people are often targeted and discriminated against on the basis of disabilities, mental
health issues, and other features considered “not normal”. But the reality is that the differences in our
bodies, minds, perceptions, and ideas about the world around us — in short, diversity — is the true normal.
32. What can we learn about Norman and Norma?
A. No participant fitted the description of them in the contest.
B. They were on display as soon as they were completed in 1945.
C. They were both named by the American Museum of Natural History.
D. People viewed them as typical and correct representations of humans.
33. How does normal in statistics differ from normal outside of statistics?
A. The former and the latter fall at totally different points of the bell curve.
第 5 页 / 共8页 命题人/审题人：陈侨、黄磊、许蓓蓓、易文、马亚娟
B. The former and the latter account for different puzzles in our daily life.
C. The latter is a single number whereas the former shows a pattern of diversity.
D. The latter often indicates the distribution of a set of values but the former doesn’t.
34. What does the underlined word “nuances” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Possibilities. B. Examples. C. Meanings. D. Differences.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. What Is Real Normal?
B. When Are Humans Normal?
C. How Does Normal Cause Harm?
D. Why Shouldn’t We Rely on Normal?

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
ARE you happy? People often ask their friends this question; it shows they care. It’s a question
that President Nicolas Sarkozy of France seems keen for social scientists to ask in his country. 36
During the annual “two sessions”, Chinese lawmakers and political advisors are discussing how to build
“a happy China”.
37
Many studies have shown that wealthier nations tend to be happier than poorer ones; and richer people
appear to be more satisfied than the less rich. But a recent Canadian study shows that the happiest people
live in that country’s poorest provinces (Nova Scotia), while those in the richest (British Columbia) are
among the least happy. Happiness is not determined by wealth.
Some scholars also believe that happiness is what people finally want and wealth is only a means
towards this end. 38
So what is it that makes people happy, if it isn’t money?
In the US author Dan Buettner’s new book Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zone Way, there is a
hint. 39 Rather, Buettner found that the four happiest cities on Earth, which span the globe from
Denmark to Mexico, give priority to social networks, health and well-being.
Take Singapore as an example. The city-state has one of the highest population densities in the world.
40 However, in a recent survey, 95 percent of people said they were either very happy or quite
happy. They gave their city high marks for cleanliness and safety — subways are clean and trains
absolutely arrive on time, and police are helpful and good at their job.
China has achieved a rapid GDP growth and become the world’s second largest economy. However,
to build “a happy China”, we need to emphasize people’s livelihoods and quality of life over fast economic
growth. We need to look for alternative measures that would show national progress not just by how our
economy is growing, but by how our lives are improving; not just by our standard of living, but by our
quality of life.
A. Where are people happier?
B. In China, it’s a concern, too.
C. But what is the measure of happiness?
D. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.
E. And its people are known for being workaholics.
F. It has nothing to do with their material wealth, intelligence or attractiveness.
G. If so, the priority now given to economic growth would appear to be a mistake.

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
How’s everything going? I’m writing to share with you the autumn sports meet held in our
school last week.
The sports meet was held on our playground and lasted two days. It was a huge success with
teachers and students from different grades participating in a wide variety of events, which ranged
from sprints to relay races.
I took part in the 100-meter sprint. It was thrilling to compete against others, especially when
I raced towards the finish line. My classmates were on their feet, cheering me on. With their
encouragement, I finally crossed the finish line and ranked second.
Personally, I have a fantastic time during the sports meet. It is not just about winning or losing
but about the spirit of participation and teamwork. The event has brought our class closer together
and given us a chance to showcase our talents and abilities.
Looking forward to your sharing. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
