1．THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS It takes hard work to guarantee your college application stands out.Make it rise to the top of the pile by becoming familiar with the application process and getting organized.
? HOW MANY SCHOOLS TO APPLY TO
There are a ton of schools out there，but applying to too many colleges is a common mistake.Submitting your application to between five and eight colleges is suggested.Of that list，you should include a variety of dream schools，safety schools and possible schools.
? EARLY DECISION AND EARLY ACTION
Early Decision and Early Action are options that allow you to apply to a college early and receive the admissions department's decision in advance of traditional applicants.However，there are also restrictions that are important to understand.Early Decision，for example，is binding；if you submit Early Decision to a college and they accept，you must attend that college.You will also not be able to apply for more financial aid after this point.Early Action，on the other hand，is not binding；you can submit Early Action to a college，get accepted and have until the following spring to decide whether or not you want to attend.
? WRITING A COLLEGE ESSAY
A good college essay is a critical part of the application process.A college essay is really just a way for admissions advisors to get to know you more，hear your perspective and relate to you on a personal level.This is one area you know a lot about，so just remember to infuse as much of "you" as possible into your essay.
? NAILING YOUR COLLEGE INTERVIEW
A college interview is an opportunity for you to make a personal impression on an admissions officer and increase your chances of acceptance into a college.It's a way for you to differentiate yourself from others and show your personality in a way that you can't on a piece of paper.Practice and preparation will help you do well during your college interview.
（1）Who is the text intended for？
A．College freshmen.
B．Educational institutions.
C．High school students.
D．General public.
（2）What can you do after the college accepts your Early Decision？
A．Apply for another safety school.
B．Apply for more economic support.
C．Start to prepare for your college.
D．Start to prepare your college essay.
（3）How can you stand out in the application process？
A．By applying to as many colleges as possible.
B．By submitting Early Decision or Early Action.
C．By praising the target colleges in the essay.
D．By showing your personalities in the interview.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．I suspect that we socialize more during the spring and summer months.Under the warm sun，yards bloom with cold drinks and conversation，barbecues get fired up，and parties quickly spill outside.Shifting these sweet summer parties to ones that are also waste-free can be both simple and inexpensive，with just a few small changes to your habits.
The first step is to keep invitations virtual.Creating a Facebook event or sending a simple email is perfect for inviting guests to your party without generating waste from paper invitations，and if you're looking for something a bit more formal，sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-invitation a brilliant makeover.Virtual invites also allow you to track RSVPs，communicate with guests，and provide clickable information about your event.
To decorate，make use of the candles，flowers and greenery already in your outdoor space rather than stocking up on store-bought flowers，and consider using decorations that can be reused （like a cloth happy birthday banner，for example） rather than one-time use decorations.Skip the balloons in favour of large tissue paper pom-poms，and offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event rather than just tossing them out.
The most obvious way to cut down on party waste，of course，is by getting rid of disposable plates，cups and things like that.I shouldn't have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much salad or drip oil through the bottom？Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives？There really isn't much to be gained from using disposables.
With these shifts and a few other small adjustments here and there – paper straws instead of plastic，a large drink dispenser（飲水器） rather than individual soft drinks or juice boxes – you'll be set to celebrate all summer long，without suffering the accompanying garbage hangover the next day.
（1）What does the underlined word "cheesy" in the second paragraph mean？
A．Free.
B．Formal.
C．Plain.
D．Inviting.
（2）What should we do with used decorations in good condition？
A．Donate them.
B．Sell them.
C．Put them away.
D．Throw them away.
（3）Why does the writer dislike paper plates？
A．They're too expensive.
B．They're not practical.
C．They're not convincing.
D．They're not popular.
（4）Which is the best title for the passage？
A．How to hold a successful garden party.
B．Summer garden party habits.
C．How to hold greener summer parties.
D．How to entertain your guests.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Days after Argentina canceled all international passenger flights to protect the country from the new coronavirus，Juan Manuel Ballestero began his journey home the only way possible：He stepped aboard his small sailboat for an 85-day journey across the Atlantic.
The 47-year-old sailor could have stayed put on the tiny Portuguese island of Porto Santo，to ride out the times of lockdowns and social distancing in a beautiful place largely spared by the virus.But the idea of spending what he thought could be "the end of the world" away from his family，especially his father who was soon to turn 90，was unbearable. "I didn't want to stay like a coward（懦夫） on an island where there were no cases，" Mr.Ballestero said. "I wanted to do everything possible to return home.The most important thing for me was to be with my family."
He bought his sailboat in 2017，hoping to take it on a travel around the world. It proved up to the task of sailing across an ocean when the pandemic was spreading across the planet.
"I wasn't afraid，but I did have a lot of uncertainty，" he said. "It was very strange to sail in the middle of a pandemic with humanity becoming increasingly less valued around me." Sailing can be a lonely passion，and it was particularly so on this voyage for Mr.Ballestero.
Despite the expansiveness of the ocean，Mr.Ballestero felt he was in a quarantine（隔離）of sorts，imprisoned by a continuous stream of bad feelings about what the future held."I was locked up in my own freedom，" he recalled.
When he made it to his hometown on June 17，he was startled by the hero's welcome he received. "Entering my port where my father had his sailboat，where he taught me so many things and where I learned how to sail and where all this originated，gave me the taste of a mission accomplished，" he said.
（1）What drove Mr.Ballestero eventually decide to sail back home？
A．Because he bought a sailboat.
B．Because he thought family came first.
C．Because he wanted to show his bravery.
D．Because all international flights were canceled.
（2）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to？
A．The sailboat.
B．The pandemic.
C．The travel around the world.
D．The task of sailing across the ocean.
（3）How did Mr.Ballestero feel when he sailed across the ocean？
A．Afraid and sad.
B．Free and relaxed.
C．Lonely and strange.
D．Unsure and isolated.
（4）What's the best title for the passage？
A．A Mission Accomplished
B．A Travel across Atlantic
C．A Solo Sail towards Family
D．A Journey from Portuguese to Argentina組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5

Frog is a wise and brave frog，living happily with his neighbors as well as good friends – Duck，Pig，Hare and Rat.One day，dark clouds were gathering in the sky，hiding the sun from view. "It's going to rain，" thought Frog happily.The first drops were already falling on his bare skin.Frog loved the rain.He danced for joy as the raindrops fell thick and fast，which was a bit too much even for Frog.
He ran home dripping wet and made himself a nice hot cup of tea.The raindrops pattered against the window but it was cozy inside.After three days of rain however，F(xiàn)rog began to feel restless.He wondered how his friends were，because he hadn't seen them since the rain started.
On the fifth day，the river began to rise.It wasn't long before water came streaming into Frog's house.Full of worry，he hurried over to Duck's house only to find it was flooded as well.Wading（蹚）through the watery landscape，they decided to go to Pig's house.Pig was leaning out of his attic（閣樓）window. "All my things are wet，" he cried desperately.The room was in a mess，with tables and chairs floating around. "Let's go and see Hare，" suggested Frog.
Hare's house was on an island in the middle of the water.Hare stood at the door and waved to them. "Come inside，" he shouted. "It's dry in here." Gratefully，they dried themselves in front of the stove and told Hare how their houses had been flooded.Hare invited them to stay as there's plenty of room and plenty of food in the house.So they all sat down to a big pot of stew（燉菜）Hare had made.So hungry were they that they ate everything up.Then they settled down to a cosy evening and stayed there for days，while outside it kept raining.
