The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities（MAPH）at the University of Chicago is designed to allow you
the freedom to either focus on one academic discipline or explore interdisciplinary（跨学科的）interests that may
not fit well within a traditional MA program. This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the
next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate
in 9 months.
The Value of This MA Program
Master’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to
PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional
fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further
graduate study or a career that much faster.
Academic Support
MAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this
support comes from the following sources:
All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director.
Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor
or Teaching Fellow throughout the year.
Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to
serve as their thesis advisor.
Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with
students to discuss course selection.
21. What is the highlight of the MAPH?
A. Interest. B. Expertise.
C. Discipline. D. Flexibility.
22. What is the potential use of obtaining the MAPH?
A. Pursuing a profitable career. B. Applying for a PhD program.
C. Publishing loads of paper work. D. Choosing undergraduate study.
23. What kind of support is available for all MAPH students?
A. Course by the director of the program. B. Group work with the MAPH director.
C. Advice on thesis writing in fall quarter. D. Help with course books from Mentors.

When photographer Chris Jordan first stepped onto Midway Atoll（中途岛）in 2009 to document
“overwhelming” levels of ocean waste, little did he know that his striking image of a dead albatross（信天翁）chick
would go viral and change the world’s response to the plastics crisis.
After hearing about an island covered in thousands of dead birds with stomachs full of everyday plastic items, he
was determined to “find a unique way to photograph these birds indicating the severity of this environmental tragedy”.
Though he never expected his images would go viral, his photos soon began appearing in magazines and newspapers
all over the world. “Many people emailed me, expressing concerns and wanting to go to the island to save the
albatrosses, but the plastic is not coming from this island. It’s a systemic problem,” says Jordan.
A recent report by WWF projects that plastic production is expected to more than double by 2040, resulting in
plastic waste in the ocean four times by 2050. In 2010, 8 million tonnes of ocean plastic waste were from sources on
land. That is the weight of some 650,000 double decker buses.
Jo Ruxton, the maker of the film A Plastic Ocean, says, “What makes Jordan’s photos resonate（共鸣）with
people is that they recognize things in their daily use, and it’s when we see things that we actually use that makes
people relate.”
“Every time I was with birds as they were dying, tears just poured. The grief was incredibly intense. Happily,
things are improving — bans on everything from plastic micro beads in toothpaste to carrier bags have since come
into force in various countries around the world. But for solutions, I believe the heart of this crisis lies in society’s
disconnection between actions and their impacts on the environment and that a re-connection with nature and a raw
appreciation for the world around us is what really drives positive change.” says Jordan.
24. What initially drives Jordan to Midway Atoll?
A. To support the ban on plastic items.
B. To record the environmental tragedy.
C. To create resonating images of plastic waste.
D. To photograph the amazing scenery of the island.
25. Which of the following can best describe Chris Jordan?
A. Reliable and determined. B. Generous and responsible.
C. Creative and sympathetic. D. Adventurous and intelligent.
26. What is the key to solving the environmental crisis according to Jordan?
A. Carrying out stricter bans on plastic products.
B. Strengthening education on environmental issues.
C. Advising using environmentally friendly materials.
D. Reestablishing the link between humans and nature.
27. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Photo: Making the Plastics Crisis Personal
B. The Method: Dealing with Marine Plastic Pollution
C. The Campaign: Restoring Our Relation with Nature
D. The Initiative: Fighting Against the Environmental Disaster
C
When a scent moved gently through the air in the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for just six
months, their memories skyrocketed. Participants in this study by UCI （University of California, Irvine）Centre
reaped a226% increase in cognitive（认知的）capacity compared to the control group. The researchers say the
finding transforms the long-known tie between smell and memory into an easy, non-invasive（无创的）technique for
strengthening memory and potentially preventing dementia. The team’s study appears in Frontiers in Neuroscience.
The study was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory. It involved men
and women aged 60 to 85 without memory disorders. They were each given a diffuser（扩散器）and seven small
bottles, each containing a single and different natural oil. People in the enriched group received full-strength bottles.
Control group participants were given the oils in tiny amounts. Participants put a different bottle into their diffuser
each evening prior to going to bed, and it remained active for two hours as they slept.
People in the enriched group showed a 226%increase in cognitive performance compared to the control group, as
measured by a word list test commonly used to evaluate memory. CT imaging revealed better integrity brain pathway.
The pathway affects decision-making ability and usually becomes less powerful with age. Participants also reported
sleeping more soundly.
Scientists have long known that the loss of olfactory capacity, or ability to smell, can predict development of
nearly 70 different kinds of diseases including Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Evidence emerges about a link
between smell loss due to COVID and later cognitive decrease. Researchers have previously found that exposing
people with moderate dementia to up to 40 different scents twice a day over a period of time boosted their memories
and language skills, alleviated depression and improved their olfactory capacities. Later, the UCI team decided to try
making this technique easier for older adults.
28. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Dramatically declined. B. Slightly improved.
C. Severely weakened. D. Significantly increased.
29. What do we know about the experiment described in paragraph 2?
A. All of the bottles contain the identical natural oil.
B. The given oil amount varies from group to group.
C. Each participant is distributed eight oil-filled bottles.
D. No requirement is for participants except age and sex.
30. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To report a study on scent exposure boosting memory.
B. To show a method to predict development of diseases.
C. To reveal the relationship between smell and memory.
D. To draw public attention to memory loss in older adults.
31. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about?
A. The approach to enhancing language skills.
B. The reason behind simplifying the technique.
C. The possibility of relieving severe depression.
D. The solution to recovering olfactory capacities.
D
When facing an extremely annoying problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm, aiming to get the best ideas
quickly. I love seeing it happen — except for one tiny wrinkle. Group brainstorming usually backfires.
In brainstorming meetings, many good ideas are lost — and few are gained. Extensive evidence shows that when
generating ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. Surprisingly enough, individuals working alone
tend to produce more and better ideas compared to brainstorming in groups.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, a shift to a process called “brainwriting” is
more effective. Initially, you ask everyone to generate ideas independently. Next, you pool them and share them
anonymously（匿名地）among the group. To preserve independent judgment, each member evaluates them on their
own. Only then does the team come together to select and refine the most promising options. By developing and
assessing ideas individually before choosing and detailing them, teams can surface and advance possibilities that
might not get attention otherwise.
For instance, during the 2010 Chilean mine rescue, time pressing, the rescue team established a global brain
writing system to crowd source independent ideas, avoiding time-consuming brainstorming. An entrepreneur offered a
tiny plastic telephone that became the sole means of communicating with the miners while a 24-year-old engineer’s
suggestion resulted in the creation of a specialized drill that ultimately saved the miners.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method
works. They find that a key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings,
participation can easily become dominated by the most influential people. The brainwriting process ensures that all
ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into the conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person
in the room —it’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals working alone
produce greater varieties of novel ideas, both brilliant and terrible, than groups. It takes collective judgment to locate
the signal within the noise and extract the best ideas.
32. Which of the following best describes “group brainstorming” according to this passage?
A. Creative. B. Productive.
C. Inefficient. D. Fundamental.
33. Why is the 2010 rescue mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To illustrate the significance of specific equipment in the rescue.
B. To show the importance of brainstorming in emergency situations.
C. To highlight the role of influential people in collective intelligence.
D. To demonstrate the effectiveness of brainwriting in generating ideas.
34. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 5?
A. The importance of collective intelligence.
B. The goal of becoming the smartest person.
C. The power of equal involvement in brainwriting.
D. The influence of powerful individuals in decision-making.
35. What is the function of collective judgment in collective intelligence?
A. Identifying the top ideas. B. Finding more good solutions.
C. Replacing individual creativity. D. Encouraging group brainstorming.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you identify as a people-pleaser, you might feel like it’s impossible to change. Well-meaning friends can try to
encourage you to just be yourself, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake that urge to keep everyone happy.
36
Tell People-pleasing from being polite
37 To be able to tell the difference, you should look at the amount of tension you feel. For example,
when you see a friend finish his water and you refill his cup, that can come out of normal sensitivity to other people’s
needs if you feel relaxed when you do it. But if you notice a sense of pressure, like something bad will happen if you
don’t refill their drink, then you’re operating from anxiety and fear.
38
Lots of times, people who try to please other people are extremely quick to react in social settings. They know
what to say right away and they move into care taking immediately. 39 One subtle but powerful technique to
change your habit is to deliberately delay your reactions, connect with yourself and then try to have the interaction out
of an authentic part of yourself.
Be ready for relationships to change or end
As you slowly start to become aware of your needs and even state them out loud, it can bring in some essential
changes in your relationships. You might realize that as you mature, some friendships are not as rewarding or even as
equal as you would like them to be. 40 If you have an emotionally immature friend, it’s up to you to decide if
you want to leave the friendship or use that relationship as an opportunity for mutual growth, if the other person also
seems interested in changing.
A. So, it’s time to end the relationship.
B. Change your habits and please yourself.
C. Slow down and check in with yourself before reacting.
D. This could be because, since childhood, they have developed this habit.
E. However, that doesn’t mean you always have to cut people out of your life.
F. Therefore, here’s how to slowly stop people-pleasing and start being yourself.
G. General polite behavior to one person can be people-pleasing to someone else.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Louisa Cantoni became aware of a young man leaning against the side of her house, a cigarette hanging from his
mouth. He looked to be 13 or 14 years old with threatening, dark brown eyes.
When she was younger, the little ones would flock around her. They loved her Italian accent and flowers and
always stayed nearby when it was tomato season, popping her sweet tomatoes into their mouths. Those sweet
memories were just that. So much had changed in the neighborhood. The Italian section of the downtown area had
been turned into low-rent housing and overgrown yards. New renters had just moved in and worn her out with all the
rudeness, the shouting, and the sad faces of the grannies.
One day, Louisa was harvesting the last of her vegetables when a shadow appeared from behind her. She knew it
was the boy. “What, what do you want from me?” She asked in a tired tone. The boy stood silent for a while. “My
momma, she likes flowers, show me how?” he offered. “Show you what, how to be a nice person?” Louisa had no
interest in showing this boy anything. “Show me how to grow those.” He pointed to the flowers. Louisa sighed. “Just
go on away and leave me alone.”
“You ain’t gotta be so mean,” Jevon murmured and left.
The next day, the boy came as usual, but she noticed he was different, younger, innocent and beautiful with
smooth brown skin and broad shoulders.
“What is your name, young man?” She asked.
“My name Jevon.”
“Thank you, I am Louisa. Miss Louisa to you.” She stuck out her hand which he reluctantly shook. “What is it
you want from me? You stare at me; you steal my zinnias（百日菊）. That’s not nice, Jevon.”
“I want to learn how to grow a flower for my momma.” He sounded like a little boy.
“I have rules, Jevon. No rudeness, no hoodie（连帽衫）, pull your pants up, and no cigarettes, ever.”
“You’re not my momma. I don’t have to do any of that,” he responded.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
