It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs. How to calculate a GPA? Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term; Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system; Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course; Add up all the credit hours for the courses; Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA. Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023CoursesLetter GradeGrade pointsCredit hoursTotal pointsGPACreative WritingA+4.0312-PsychologyA-3.7311.1- HistoryB+3.339.9-Computer ScienceF0.020-Total--1133What are the consequences of failing college courses? Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs. Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass. For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports. Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.1. Where is this text probably taken from?A. An academic course guide.B. A campus job fair poster.C. A graduate application form.D. An athletic team schedule.2 What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term?A. 3.3.B. 3.0.C. 2.8.D. 1.0.3. What would be a result if you get one F in college?A. School removal.B. Loss of financial aid.C. Choice limitation.D. Disqualification in sports.BTech businessman Jared Isaacman, who made a fortune in tech and fighter jets, bought an entire flight and took three “everyday” people with him to space. He aimed to use the private trip to raise $200 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, half coming from his own pocket.His crew included a St. Jude worker with direct ties to the activity, representing the activity’s pillar (核心) of Hope, a professor, and another person, representing the pillar of Generosity, chosen as part of a $200 million St. Jude fundraising program. All were invited to join in donating to reach the ambitious overall campaign goal in support of St. Jude’s current multi-billion dollar expansion to speed up research advances and save more children worldwide. Anyone donating to St. Jude would be entered into a random drawing for the “Generosity” seat.Isaacman has been “really interested in space” since he was in kindergarten. He dropped out of high school when he was 16 got a GED certificate and started a business in his parents’ basement that became the beginning of Shift4 Payments, a credit card processing company. He set a speed record flying around the world in 2009 while raising money for the Make-A-Wish program, and later established Draken International, the world’s largest private fleet (舰队) of fighter jets.Now he has realized his childhood dream-boarding a spaceship, launched in Florida and orbiting the Earth for three days in the history-making event. He called it an “epic (史诗般的) adventure”. “I truly want us to live in a world 50 or 100 years from now where people are jumping their rockets,” Isaacman said. “And if we’re going to live in that world, we’d better deal with childhood cancer successfully along the way.”4. Why did Isaacman raise funds for St. Jude?A To expand a fundraising programme.B. To perform an act of great generosity.C. To make his childhood dream come true.D. To encourage St. Jude’s life-saving work.5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A. The commercial skills of Isaacman.B. The growth experience of Isaacman.C. The reason for Isaacman’s good deeds.D. The beginning of Isaacman’s business.6. What can be learned about the “epic adventure”?A. It was a multi-day journey.B. It will be common in the future.C. It involved three civilians in total.D. It is a symbol of hope for a better life.7. What message is conveyed in Isaacman’s story?A. No sweet without sweat.B. Many hands make light work.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. A penny saved is a penny earned.CHere’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.8. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience?A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices.B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.C. To stress the importance of strategic requests.D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.9. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors?A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.10. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4?A. Selfless.B. Impolite.C. Aggressive.D. Responsible.11. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect?A. It makes little sense.B. It applies to most cultures.C. It has situational limitations.D. It has great practical significance.DWhales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation.“The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US $2 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale.Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said.12. What does the new study reveal about whales?A. They are money-makers for good.B. Their intelligence is unquestionable.C. They are a natural climate solution.D. Their survival is threatened by carbon.13. Why is a whale compared with a tree in paragraph 2?A. To indicate all matter regarding green efforts.B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans.C. To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential.D. To emphasize the importance of tree planting.14. What can be inferred from what researchers said in paragraph 4?A. Climate change intensifies.B. Whale populations stay low.C. Our survival is endangered.D. Whale protection is a priority.15. What is the most suitable title for the article?A. Protect whales to protect the planetB. How to restore whale populationsC. Live in harmony with ocean giantsD. Whales can guarantee our survival第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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，并在答题卡上将该涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract.

But I hate everything to do with my ears. Of all my features, my ears are the ones I hate the most. They’re like tiny closed fists on the sides of my face.Although my hearing was getting worse, I hadn’t told anyone. The ocean sound that was always in my head had been getting louder, drowning out people’s voices, like I was underwater. I couldn’t hear teachers if I sat in the back of the class. But I knew if I told Mom or Dad about it, I’d end up with hearing aids.Then in my annual checkup in October, I failed the audiology test and the doctor said, “Dude, it’s time.” And he sent me to a special ear doctor.When the ear doctor first pulled the hearing aids out for me and Mom to look at, I groaned. “I’m not wearing that thing,” I announced.“I know they probably look kind of big,” said the ear doctor, “but we had to attach them to the headband because we had no other way of making them stay in your ears.”Normal aids usually have a part that wraps around the outer ear to hold the inner bud in place. But since I didn’t have outer ears, they had to put the earbuds on this heavy-duty headband that was supposed to wrap around the back of my head. I could imagine how strange I’d look—my classmates would laugh at me, and even my teacher Mr. Browne, my friends Summer and Jack would be scared at me!“Can’t wear that. Mom; I’ll look like Lobot!” I whined.“Lobot?” The ear doctor smiled as he looked at the headphones and made some adjustments. “The Empire Strikes Back? The bald guy with the cool radio-transmitter thing that wraps around the back of his skull?”“You know Star Wars stuff?” I asked the ear doctor.“Hey, Lobot’s cool,” said he, sliding the earphones on my head, carefully. “There you go, August. So how’s that?”注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右：2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。How can I describe what I heard when the doctor turned on my hearing aids?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The first day I showed up at school with the hearing aids, I thought kids would make a big deal about it._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________1-5 BCBAA 6-10 CBCBA 11-15 BABCB 16-20 CABCC
