However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:University of MissouriWhen you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.High Point UniversityIf you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.Seton Hall UniversityIf you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all fre shmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.New York UniversityIf you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world,but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them.

At the age of 15, she developed cancer and had to go through chemotherapy(化疗). But today will be a unique kind of experience—something most people will never have. “It makes me feel excited, a little bit nervous,” said Morales, whose photos were on display at a gallery show in Los Angeles. These images reflect her journey while battling cancer.She tried to look at things with a lot of light, a lot of what draws her to positivity and something that means love or happiness. “I think photography has really hel ped me a lot to staypositive and be motivated to keep fighting this disease.”Morales is one of 23 students sharing their experiences with cancer through photos at this gallery. They are graduates of the PABLOVE foundation’s SHUTTERBUGS advanced photography class. The foundation aims to improve the lives of children living with the disease through its photography program. It also provides money for underfunded cancer research. Incomes from sales of these prints will go toward cancer research programs.The PABLOVE program offers classes in eight cities across the United States. “Being in these classes with other people who understand their experience has been really beneficial, and it has really made them feel a lot more comfortable in what they’ve been through,” said Ashley Blakeney, program manager of PABLOVE SHUTTERBUBS. She said the photography classes give students living with cancer a sense of community at a time when they often feel isolated in their experience.With photography many young students gain an identity that is not controlled by cancer. “There’s more to us than just having cancer. We want people to see what we see even if it’s through the lens(镜头).” says Luckman who was diagnosed with cancer when he was 10 years old. “Photography has given me a small chance to actually assist in the world a bit. I’d love to express my story and allow it to hopefully reach other kids so they can understand how to deal with it hopefully.41．Which of the following is true of Madeline Morals?A．She has suffered from cancer for 15 years.B．She has had a full recovery from cancer.C．She has a positive attitude towards life.D．She uses her photos to record her suffering.42．The PABLOVE Foundation was created specially for ________.A．homeless people B．photography-loversC．researcher on cancer D．children with cancer43．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A．The popularity of the program.B．The great significance of this program.C．The contributions of Ashley.D．The future plan of the program.44．The underlined wor d “isolated” can be best replaced by ________.A．lonely B．painfulC．grateful D．positive45．According to Lukman, how can photography class benefit children with cancer?A．By giving them an identity card.B．By offering a chance to help others.C．By getting their cancer cured.D．By offering a way to make money.Over the past five years, researchers in artificial intelligence have become the rock stars of the technology world. A branch of AI known as deep learning, has proven so useful that skilled operators can command six-figure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. The top names can earn over $1 million a year.The traditional way to get these jobs has been a Doctor’s degree in computer science from one of America’s top universities. Earning one takes years and requires a person who can be devoted to study, which is rare among normal people. Moreover, graduate students are regularly attracted away from their studies by various high-paid jobs.That is changing. Last month Fast.ai, an education non-profit based in San Francisco, kicked off the third year of its course in deep learning. Since its beginning it has attracted more than 100,000 students from India to Nigeria. The course comes with a simple idea: there is no n eed to spend years obtaining a Doctor’s degree in order to practise deep learning. Fast.ai’s course can be completed in just seven weeks.For example, a graduate from Fast.ai’s first year, Sara Hooker, was hired into Google’s highly competitive AI residency programme after finishing the course, having never worked on deep learning before. She is now a founding member of Google’s new AI research office in Accra, Ghana, the firm’s first in Africa.To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build AI software, Jeremy Howard, who founded Fast.ai with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician, says middle school mathematics is enough. Fast.ai is not the only A．I. programme. AI4ALL, another non-profit organization, founded by leading technologists including Dr. Fei-Fei Li, works to bring AI education to schoolchildren that would otherwise not have access to it.Howard’s ambitions run deeper than just dealing with the shortage in the AI labour market. His aim is to spread deep learning into many hands, so that it may be applied in as many fieldsas possible. The ambition, says Mr Howard, is for AI training software to become as easy to use and common as sending an email on a smart phone.46．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The way to get a Doctor’s degree.B．The difficulties to get a Doctor’s degree.C．The importance to get a Doctor’s degree.D．The necessity to get a Doctor’s degree.47．What can we learn about Fast.ai?A．It aims to produce AI graduates in a fast way.B．It aims to collect money for poor students.C．It charges a high free for offering courses.D．It becomes popular only in India and Nigeria.48．Where does Sara Hooker work according to the passage?A．India. B．Nigeria.C．Ghana. D．America.49．What do Fast.ai and AI4ALL have in common?A．They are both meant for children.B．They require advanced math.C．They have the same founder.D．They are both non-profit.50．What’s Howard’s attitude to AI training software in the future?A．Anxious. B．Disappointed.C．Optimistic. D．Surprised.One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones. As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe, the possibilities are endless. For me, one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort can’t coexist.Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said: “Whatever the mind can understand and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的) your aims and hopes may be.” This statement isespecially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change.For a long time, I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelor’s degree, I bought a one-way ticket there. While in Argentina, I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina, and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.This, of course, by no means at all applies to everyone, and I’m not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens. But it’s important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. So why wait? I’m thankful that I didn’t put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person. If we want to experience even a small amount of change, we will have to step outside of it.51．Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone?A．It makes people feel safe.B．It leads to great things.C．It is important for growth.D．It helps make wise decisions.52．What does Napoleon Hill’s statement mean?A．Time and tide wait for no man.B．The higher you fly, the harder you fail.C．Failure is the mother of success.D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.53．Which matters most to the author in his/her story?A．Moving to Argentina.B．Getting the bachelor’s degree.C．Studying online.D．Flying back for graduation.54．The author used his/her story to ________.A．persuade others to follow his/her exampleB．encourage others to take immediate actionC．inform people of different foreign cultureD．remind people to be thankful in life55．Which one could be the best title?A．Identify your comfort zone.B．Value your precious time.C．Always try something new.D．Make the best decisions.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
