三、阅读理解
17、A
Side hustles （副业） for college students deliver spending money while still offering the flexibility that a full class schedule requires.
Take class notes
Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn ＄250 to ＄500 per class, per semester.
Become a tutor
Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to nish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person.
Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker
The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you're qualified to take.
Charge scooters
Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters （小型摩托车） and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist （征募） "chargers" to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated （指定的） area early the next morning.
If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between ＄5 and ＄20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn't a bad way to get back to your dorm.
(1) Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes?
A. Prolific.
B. LessonFace.
C. Wyzant.
D. StudySoup.
(2) Which one best suits students who are excellent in music?
A. Taking class notes.
B. Becoming a tutor.
C. Being a survey taker.
D. Charging scooters.
(3) What can be inferred about Prolific?
A. It offers the highest pay.
B. It only chooses students with good grades.
C. It helps researchers find suitable survey participants.
D. It requires participants to sign up in advance.
(4) What may make charging scooters attractive?
A. It pays riders for charging scooters.
B. It provides the most benefits for students.
C. It offers a means of free transportation.
D. It helps solve the litter problem on campus.
(5) The passage mainly introduces ___.
A. methods to do better in school
B. job options for college students
C. after-class activities for students
D. ways to meet a full class schedule
18、B
When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulder with experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9. "There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that, " said Christian Bizzotto, Milla's father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami.
Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. "We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn't weak, and that changed her whole mindset, " her father said.
In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.
"The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative, " Christian said. "I've had people message me on saying I'm a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do."
CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day. Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and rtan races. "I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to, " he said.
Next up for Milla is an invitation-only "Athletes Race" . Competitors also have to raise ＄5, 000 for charity.

19、C
High-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables （光纤电缆）. In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world —especially underdeveloped areas—are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet.
A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics, the system uses light to carry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams （光束） through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free ce Optical Communications (FSOC).
The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African cities—Brazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as there is a direct line of sight between the system's receiving devices.
The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid any service TAL#NBSPoutages.
After adding its "pointing and tracking" equipment to beam connectivity across the river, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 terabytes of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270, 000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said the team admitted that it couldn't expect to see "perfect reliability" in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, "We believe Taara's links
will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities."
(1) What can we say about fiber-optic systems?
A. Safe and adaptable.
B. Complex but popular.
C. Effective but expensive.
D. Demanding and reusable.
(2) What's the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system?
A. Their signal quality
B. Their coverage area.
C. Their transmission speed
D. Their transmission medium.
(3) What does the underlined word "outages" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Aging.
B. Failure.
C. Updating.
D. Exposure.
(4) Why does the author present data in the last paragraph?
A. To show the successful improvement to Taara.
B. To describe the competitive World Cup match.
C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity.
D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system.
(5) What is Baris Erkmen's attitude towards Taara?
A. Positive.
B. Cautious.
C. Doubtful.
D. Concerned.
20、D
Intelligence is not enough to create extraordinary work. The most creative people in history you admire approached problems differently. IQ alone cannot explain creative rk. "Creativity isn't a talent. It's a way of operating, " says John Cleese. It's a central source of meaning in our lives. Creative geniuses are able to bring seemingly contradictor y element s together in unusual and unexpected ways. While there's no "typical" creative type, Einstein, Picasso and Mozart shared common traits.
You can be insanely talented but if you can't consistently hone your craft （打磨技能）, you can't be great. The ability to stick with and pursue anything that means a lot to you over a long period of time is an important indicator （指标） of achieving anything worthwhile in life.
Einstein had extremely high intelligence but he genuinely loved his pursuit of Relativity. He committed a greater percentage of his productive years pursuing the Theory of Relativity. And it meant everything to him. Creative people have a strong desire to work hard and long on what they love doing.
The willingness to take risks, to break with the safety of tradition, and step outside the comfort zone is necessary for creativity. History's creative geniuses risked more to get results. Unless you aim for comfort and stagnation （停滞）, taking risks is TAL#NBSPiTAL#NBSPmperative to every creative process. They valued the process of their work as much as the destination. They enjoyed the process as much as the ultimate outcome. They viewed obstacles as opportunities to explore and make progress.
Picasso was once asked if he knew what a painting was going to look like when he started it. He answered, "No, of course not. If I knew, I wouldn't bother doing it."
Curiosity is fundamental to your success. Einstein, Picasso and Mozart embraced curiosity, were open to new ideas, and persistent despite career setbacks.
Mozart once wrote to a friend about his commitment to music and said, "People err who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to compositions as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not industriously studied through many times."
(1) What can we know about creativity and intelligence?
A. Intelligence is the decisive factor of success.
B. Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence.
C. There is more to creativity than just intelligence.
D. Creativity belongs to people with great intelligence.
(2) Einstein's success indicates that.
A. perseverance is a better predictor for success
B. talent is necessary in one's achievements
C. high competence is key to high performance
D. innovation results from strong motivation
(3) We can know that Picasso was ___.
A. good at career planning
B. sensitive to public criticism
C. satisfied with the present life
D. brave to embrace the unknown
(4) The underlined word "imperative" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by"___”.
A. difficult
B. important
C. controversial
D. superficial
(5) The best title for the text is "___" .
A. Einstein's Pursuit of the Theory of Relativity
B. The Creative Habits of Einstein, Picasso and Mozart
C. Dedication of an Unusual Degree to Achieve Greatness
D. The Great Contribution Made by Einstein, Picasso and Mozart

After getting his bachelor's degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies.
Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art.
In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh's love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China.

The second topic we would like to explore is your personal experience of living in China. We are interested to hear about your first impressions of China, the cultural differences you have noticed, and how you have adjusted to the lifestyle here. Your perspectives will undoubtedly broaden our understanding of intercultural communication and help us become more open-minded global citizens.
We would be honored if you could accept our invitation to participate in this activity. Your presence and insights will greatly benefit our classmates and contribute to their holistic education. Thank you for considering our invitation, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Yours,
