It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration.There’s Nothing Wrong With Being“Undecided”.Between20%and50%of college freshmen enter school without a declared major.Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining“undecided”or“undeclared”for the first few years of your college career.You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also,keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year,you can always change your mind.About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years.Even more,over60%of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could,primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities.Explore Your Passions and Abilities.Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities.With an undeclared major to start,you can take time to really develop into what interests you.Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests.Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.For example,when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar?College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major,you’re uniquely positioned to do just that.Consider Employment Opportunities.While it’s important to choose a major that interests you,it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities.Statistically,the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM.These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering.Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential.That being said,employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills,too,including strong communication,written and verbal skills,and leadership abilities.The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing.Talk to an Academic Advisor.If you need a little guidance,set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career42．Why did China decide that pandas are only loaned to other countries?A．Because the pandas’dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.B．Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to cat in other countries.C．Because most of the pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.D．Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.43．What can we learn from the text?A．It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.B．The practice“panda diplomacy”dates from the Tang Dynasty.C．China began panda diplomacy,sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.D．Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada. 44．What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Disapproving.D．Doubtful. 45．Which is right according to the text?A．It usually takes about fifteen years for a crop of bamboo to mature.B．The whole world is trying their best to help save the giant panda.C．People ignore the panda diplomacy on purpose.D．The name Little Miracle was finally chosen after a heated discussion in China. 46．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us how to feed pandas properly.B．To call on people to donate to protect pandas in the world.C．To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.D．To explain why“panda diplomacy”is stopped.One person’s happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends,but their friends’friends,and their friends’friends’friends.The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite,interestingly,is not the case:Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness.Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.Focusing on4,739individuals,Christakis and Fowler,who co-authored this study, observed more than50,000social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group.The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy,a friend living within a mile experiences a25percent increased chance of becoming happy.A co-resident spouse(配偶)experiences an8percent increased chance,siblings(兄弟姐妹)living within one mile have a14percent increased chance,and for next-door neighbors,34 percent.But the real surprise came with indirect relationships.Again,while an individual becoming happy increases his friend’s chances,a friend of that friend experiences a nearly10 percent chance of increased happiness,and a friend of that friend has a5.6percent increased chance.The researchers also found that,contrary to what your parents taught you,popularity does lead to happiness.People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy,and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends.However,becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe(外围)to the center.Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure.“Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,”Fowler explains.“You’ll see people in groups at the center,and others on the fringe.The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center.But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy,say through a particular exchange,doesn’t suddenly move into the center of the group.He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being.”Next time,if you’re happy and you know it,thank your friends—and their friends.And while you’re at it,their friends’friends.But if you’re sad,hold the blame.47．Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according to the research?A．His wife.B．His next-door neighbors.C．His brothers and sisters.D．A friend of his friend.48．Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph4?A．To explain a rule.B．To clarify a concept.C．To describe a fact.D．To make a prediction.49．What does the research aim to tell us?A．Happiness changes social structures.B．A social network is a double-edged sword.C．Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.D．Happiness spreads through social networks.50．What do we know from the last two paragraphs?A．Friends’friends may bring you happiness.B．Your friends are to blame for your sadness.A．low speed B．high speedC．steady speed D．too much time alone 53．According to some teenagers and college students,what causes their multitasking?A．Too much tasks and arrangements.B．Too much time alone.C．Inability to focus.D．Fear of being neglected. 54．According to the passage,which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.B．Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.C．Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.D．Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced workenvironment.55．What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do about their multitasking kids?A．To cut off home internet connection.B．To seek medical treatment.C．To encourage their kids to have some social life.D．To help their kids to set personal goals.四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。

It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration.There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”.Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities.Explore Your Passions and Abilities.Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that.Consider Employment Opportunities.While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing.Talk to an Academic Advisor.If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or careercounselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major.Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.36．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Most graduates went back to college and changed their majors for a brighter future. B．Most students frequently change their majors throughout their college years.C．It is all right to remain undecided on majors for only the freshman year.D．You don’t necessarily need to declare your majors upon entering college.37．You are advised to take electives as described in the third paragraph because ______.

The choice wasthe result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring, and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic,” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”.According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.It takes ten years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In March, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China. But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy, “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.41．The expression “in a nod to” in Para.2 is closest in meaning to ______.A．in praise for B．in response toC．in favor of D．in order to observe42．Why did China decide that pandas are only loaned to other countries?A．Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.B．Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to cat in other countries.C．Because most of the pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.D．Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.43．What can we learn from the text?A．It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.B．The practice “panda diplomacy” dates from the Tang Dynasty.C．China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.D．Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.44．What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy? A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Disapproving.D．Doubtful. 45．Which is right according to the text?A．It usually takes about fifteen years for a crop of bamboo to mature.B．The whole world is trying their best to help save the giant panda.C．People ignore the panda diplomacy on purpose.D．The name Little Miracle was finally chosen after a heated discussion in China. 46．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us how to feed pandas properly.B．To call on people to donate to protect pandas in the world.C．To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.D．To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.One person’s happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends. The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite, interestingly, is not the case: Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness. Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.Focusing on 4,739 individuals, Christakis and Fowler, who co-authored this study, observed more than 50,000 social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group. The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. Aco-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹)living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. But the real surprise came with indirect relationships. Again, while an individual becoming happy increases his friend’s chances, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance.The researchers also found that, contrary to what your parents taught you, popularity does lead to happiness. People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy, and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends. However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure.“Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center. But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy, say through a particular exchange, doesn’t suddenly move into the center of the group. He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being.”Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you’re at it, their friends’ friends. But if you’re sad, hold the blame.47．Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according to the research? A．His wife.B．His next-door neighbors.C．His brothers and sisters.D．A friend of his friend.48．Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph 4?A．To explain a rule.B．To clarify a concept.C．To describe a fact.D．To make a prediction.49．What does the research aim to tell us?A．Happiness changes social structures.B．A social network is a double-edged sword.C．Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.D．Happiness spreads through social networks.50．What do we know from the last two paragraphs?A．Friends’ friends may bring you happiness.B．Your friends are to blame for your sadness.C．Your friends decide whether you are happy.D．The happiest friends at party are on the fringe.Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new! We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another? Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run. On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings — a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen. 51．What is the main idea of this passage?A．How is multitasking defined in the information age?B．How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about?C．How does technology change modern family life?D．What’s the impact of multitasking on young people?52．The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A．low speed B．high speedC．steady speed D．too much time alone 53．According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking? A．Too much tasks and arrangements.B．Too much time alone.C．Inability to focus.D．Fear of being neglected. 54．According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age. B．Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.C．Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.D．Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced work environment. 55．What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do about their multitasking kids? A．To cut off home internet connection.B．To seek medical treatment.C．To encourage their kids to have some social life.D．To help their kids to set personal goals.四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
