Especially during the pandemic of corona virus, online education has become one of the most important ways of education throughout the world.The changes in the way of education can be listed as follows.First of all, compared with traditional offline teaching activities, online education gives students the opportunity to study wherever they want, at home or in the park.Moreover, the cost of attending online courses is normally lower than that of offline ones. Besides, students can choose the perfect time when they are available to attend classes,instead of stubbornly fixing the time required without the possibility of doing any other important thing.From my perspective, the changes in the way of education mainly lie in the good respects. As one of the fortunate students who live in the age of internet and can get access to online courses, I can’ t help exclaiming: it is the best of times.六、四级翻译部分：生活在中国不同地区的人们饮食多种多样。

Not that older generationsare whiz kids when it comes to credit -----------------------just over 40%of consumers surveyed even know what their credit score measures, for instance一but millennials have the dubious distinction（区别）of being even less-informed than other age groups-Only around half of milleunials have ever even bothered to order a free copy of their credit report, as compared to about three, quarters of older people surveyed-They' re more likely to think age plays a role in credit scoring, that the government keeps track of consumer credit data and that credit repair services can legitimately fix your credit (by and large, they Can' t)• And while most of them know that a lot of credit card debt, declaring bankruptcy and missing payments can affect their credit, only 6%got everything fight when they picked from a list of factors that could potentially impact their score.Young adults have a pretty poor grasp on how far-reachingthis impact is ： Only 1 8 percent knew that utility companies, cell phone carders, mortgage lenders and home insurers landlords and credit card companies can all use a consumers credit when doing business with them.They' re also unaware of the financial consequences of bad credit- just 1 5%knew that a bad credit score could cost morethan$5, 000 in higher interest payments over the life of a car loan.One factor that seems to make a difference in how much credit knowledge people have is whether or not- mey' ve actually goRen their free credit report (if you' re one of the many who haven' t, you can do so at annualcreditreport• corn).

参考范文：Online Shopping。

With the development of the Internet, online shopping has become increasingly popular. More and more people choose to buy things online for the convenience it brings. However, online shopping also has its advantages and disadvantages.The biggest advantage of online shopping is convenience. People can buy whatever they want without leaving their homes. They can also compare prices and read reviews before making a purchase. In addition, online shopping offers a wider range of products and better prices compared to traditional stores. On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages to online shopping. For example, people cannot try on clothes or testproducts before buying them. There is also the risk of fraud and security issues when making online payments.In my opinion, online shopping is a convenient and efficient way to buy things, but it is important to be cautious and do research before making a purchase. It is also important to support local businesses and traditional stores to maintain a healthy and diverse market.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)。

56.原文第一段第一句反问句“Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or isthere something unique about it?”可得知答案选A——Its success is hard tocopy anywhere else. 选项copy同义改写原文的reproduce。

57.由题干大写字母Miami定位到原文第五段“Few startups happen in Miami, for example,because alth ough it’s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’snot the kind of place nerdslike.”由因果关系词because找到原因——这里既是有很多富裕的人，却几乎没有nerds（痴迷科研的人）。

所以答案选B——Lackof the right kind of talents.58，由题干大写字母Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, Stanford,Berkeley 等定位到第六段，问CM和其他的是哪里有不同。

“The top US Computer Sciencedepartments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, andCarnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeleyyielded Silicon Valley. But Carnegie-Mellon? The record skips atthat point.”原文讲到了MIT, Stanford, Berkeley 都yielded产生了很有名的sciencedepartment，而Carnegie-Mellon 呢？这个记录能够直接跳过忽略。

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. ”Those were the words uttered by Pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin, who firmly believed that the pursuit of science should be 26 to all.As a woman working in the first half of the 20th century, Franklin’s contributions to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time including the structure of DNA— were sadly 27 in her lifetime.More than 60 years after Franklin’s death, we are 28 living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon (阶层) of our society — not least in science, innovation ,higher education and research. UK universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and 29 gender equality.In the past decade, we have seen a 30 increase in England in the number of women accepted on to full-time undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and maths(Stem subjects). And in the last academic year, women 31 for more than half of all Stem postgraduates at UK universities.Data shows us the 32 to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go.Although women make up the majority of undergraduates in our universities, just under half of academic staff are female. At 33 levels, only a quarter of professors are women, and black women make up less than 2% of all female academic staff.There are also stark differences in pay across grades.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How to Eat WellA)Why do so many Americans eat tons of processed food,the stuff that is correctly called junk (垃圾)and should really carry warning labels？B)It's not because fresh ingredients are hard to come by. Supermarkets offer more variety than ever, and there are over four times as many farmers'markets in the US as there were 20 years ago. Nor is it for lack of available information. There are plenty of recipes (食谱), how—to videos and cooking classes available to anyone who has a computer, smartphone or television. If anything, the information is overwhelming.C)And yet we aren't cooking. If you eat three meals a day and behave like most Americans, you probably get at least a third of your daily calories(卡路里) outside the home. Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week, and we get almost 25% of our daily calories from snacks, So we’re eating out or taking in.，and we don ’t sit down— or we do, but we hurry。
