Looking back on my application process, I summarize the things that helped me when applying to Harvard. So continue reading for my top tips!
1. Be yourself.
I followed many “dos and don’ts” at first. However, once I started writing more authentically about myself, I was able to write a better essay. In fact, every part of the application is an opportunity for you to paint a picture for the admissions committee. What matters to you? What do you like to study? What motivates you? What kind of student are you? What responsibilities would you take on in college? ____41____
2. Start early.
____42____ At this time, you have multiple tasks to handle and completing each application requirement will take time. For example, securing a good recommendation letter will be easier if you ask your teachers a month before they are due than if you ask them a few days before a deadline. You must also request transcripts, edit and revise your essays, and keep attending and doing well in your classes! How can you accomplish so many tasks? ____43____
3. ____44____
While you won’t be able to revi ew some elements of your application, like your letters of recommendation, you should sill reflect on what you think your teachers will highlight about you. ____45____ For example, in your personal statement, you might have highlighted one of your life experiences that has shaped you greatly. Is your transcript missing an academic passion that has been significant to you? Where else can you share it? Mapping these experiences and strengths onto different parts of your application is a good strategy, because it helps maximize the often limited word counts of your application.
A．Make a map.
B．Select your experiences.
C．This is especially important during your senior year!
D．So see the application as a chance to show who you are.
E．Therefore provide impressive materials to convince them.
F．I suggest setting concrete goals to accomplish every week.
G．Similarly, think about what you’ll say in each part of your application.
Parents can use platform-level controls to set limits on which apps your kids can download. But
those tools don’t allow you to manage what kids see on those apps or prevent them from communicating with strangers. In this case, parental controls come in. ___46___
First, two big important rules parents should follow: ___47___ Apps contain default (默认的) settings that provide protections based on the declared age of the user. Do have continuing open conversations with your children about keeping safe online. ___48___
Then, with those in mind, here’s what to know about social media parental control s and how to use them (take Tiktok for example):
Where to start: Read TikTok’s comprehensive Guardian’s Guide.
Default settings: For teens ages 13 to 15, accounts are automatically set to private. Other teens can change their account to public but their videos would be shown only to friends.
___49___ It’s also unavailable by default for 16-and 19-year-olds but they can change the setting to allow messaging with friends.
Optional settings: With a TikTok account, parents can limit the time their teens spend on TikTok, restrict age-inappropriate content and set messaging restrictions. Parents can also determine whether their teen’s account is private or public. ___50___
A．Direct messaging is unavailable for teens ages 13 to 15.
B．The settings are secured wit h passwords, so teens can’t change them.
C．Here is a guide for using the parental controls in the social media apps.
D．Don’t lie about your kids’ ages when signing up for apps, or let them do it.
E．This is useless if you’re handing your phone over for your children to play with.

)”也是创造干净环境的一种
方法，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C项。

牝25、空格处是本段的主题句，由空后的“There are many things we cannot do right now, such as influence public policies, but we may prepare ourselves to be ready when the time comes for us to contribute.(有很多事情我们现在不能做，比如影响公共政策，但我们可以做好准备，在我们做出贡献的时候做好准备。

)”可知，本段主要讲的是为以后做好准备，A选项“Get well prepared for any possibilities.(为任何可能做好充分准备。

)”说明了要为可能发生的一切做好准备，因此A选项概括本段主要内容，可作为小标题，故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要向高一新生提出了几条建议，帮助他们顺利完成高中学业。

牝26、上文“After hearing “I wish I’d known this when I was in Senior 1!” countless times by the end of the school year, my senior 3 class decided to leave behind some real advice for newcomers in senior high.(在学年结束时听到“我希望我在高一的时候就知道这些！”时，我的高三学生决定给高中新生留下一些真正的建议。

)”提到作者的高三学生要给高中新生留下一些建议，根据下文“Get a planner(做出规划)”，“Work hard(努力学习)”，“Be present(活在当下)”可知，下文每段是具体建议，由此可知，空处应该承上启下，D项“Here is some of the great advice they shared(以下是他们分享的一些好建议)”符合，故选D项。

牝27、上文“If I didn’t have a planner,(如果我没有计划,)”是if引导的条件状语从句，这是一种与现在相反的假设，由下文“I had a hard copy planner, and writing down my homework and activities helped me to stay organised. I could see everything I needed to do.( 我有一个硬拷贝计划，写下我的家庭作业和活动帮助我保持有条理。

我能看到我需要做的一切。

)”可知，“我”实际上有规划，由此可知，空处应该将如果“我”没有计划，会是什么样的，E项“I would have never made it through high school(我就不可能读完高中)”符合，是与现在事实相反的一种假设，故选E项。

牝28、此处是本段小标题，根据本段内容“Be realistic about your future decisions. If you want to head to a top college, you need to start thinking and working for that immediately. And while that includes getting good grades, it’s not just about grades. You also have to take leadership positions because at last, that’s what makes you stand out. — Alondra(对你未来的决定要现实一点。

如果你想进入一所顶尖的大学，你需要立即开始思考并为之努力。

虽然这包括取得好成绩，但这不仅仅是成绩的问题。

你还必须担任领导职务，因为最终，这才是你脱颖而出的原因。

——Alondra)”可知，本段主要讲的是要现实一些，A项“Keep it real(要现实)”能
概括本段内容，故选A项。

牝29、上文“When I was in junior high, a friend from senior high school told me I must concentrate on study and work hard from the minute I entered senior high.(当我上初中的时候，一个高中的朋友告诉我，从进入高中的那一刻起，我必须集中精力学习和努力学。
