Four Useful Tools Every College Student Cannot Afford to Miss
A seemingly endless number of lessons, textbook readings, homework assignments, essays, and research papers fill your life. Most times, you have the willpower to get it all done and make a decent grade. But you lack tools that could help you find the information you need. Well, there is no need to worry about it since your school semester can get off to a great start with these helpful free resources.

As I was progressing through my forties, I started experiencing less than perfect health and mentally blamed it on “getting older”. I started exercising more and experimenting with supplements to improve this, but ache from arthritis (关节炎) and less energy seemed to exist no matter what I did.
When I first received acupuncture (针灸) treatments 10 years ago, I was amazed how a few treatments completely relieved leg pain I had suffered for years. However, regular treatments didn’t follow that one week after I returned to my home in Illinois. A year later, I went on my first trip to dig into acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and Qigong, falling in love with the ancient wisdom running through this ancient system of medicine.
I continued to travel to New York periodically to get treatments, but life limits kept this from being a regular process. Magically, I discovered that someone was opening an acupuncture practice within walking distance of my home in 2020. At the time I was a 52-year-old woman, defeated by many difficulties and definitely “old”. Thus, I started pursuing acupuncture treatments every week. Gradually, I started feeling much more energy and enthusiasm for life, rediscovered my sense of humor and faith in people, and stopped feeling “old”.
By the time I turned 55, I loved acupuncture enough that I decided to pursue a degree in acupuncture as I have always desired to help others be well and this seemed like the ultimate model for achieving that goal of well-being. Given that I was older than most of my fellow students’ parents, I must admit that my return to school was challenging and hard work, particularly since I was still working while pursuing my degree. What acupuncture gave me was the capability to live life to its fullest as I age and that’s the gift I am here to offer others.

Math struggles in kids may come from brains that have a harder time learning from mistakes — not just understanding numbers. Researchers at Stanford University, led by Hyesang Chang, set out to understand why certain children have more difficulty learning math than others.
In a new paper published on February 9 in JNeurosci, the team examined how children approach numerical (用数字表示的) tasks and how their brains respond during learning. To study this, children completed a series of trials where they chose which number was larger. Sometimes the quantities were shown as written numbers, and other times as groups of dots (圆点). The researchers then built a model that tracked how each child’s performance changed over time, rather than looking only at right or wrong answers.
The model revealed a key difference between children with typical math skills and those who struggled. Children with math learning difficulties had trouble adjusting their problem-solving strategies after making mistakes, even when they encountered different types of errors. Instead of updating their approach, their performance tended to stay inconsistent across trials.
Brain imaging provided insight into why this pattern emerged. Children who struggled with math showed less frequent response in brain regions involved in monitoring performance and adjusting behavior. The researchers also found that reduced response in these areas could predict whether a child was more likely to have normal or abnormal math abilities.
The findings suggest that math difficulties may not be limited to understanding numbers themselves. Instead, some children may struggle because they have difficulty revising their perceptions as they work through problems. According to Chang, “These difficulties may not necessarily be specific to numerical skills, and could apply to broader cognitive (认知的) abilities that involve monitoring task performance and adapting behavior as children learn.”
Looking ahead, the research team plans to test their model in larger groups of children, including those with other types of learning disabilities. Their goal is to better understand whether challenges with adapting strategies play a wider role in how children learn across different subjects.
8. What were kids asked to do in the trials
A. Write down different numbers. B. Reflect upon their final answers.
C Compare different number sizes. D. Count dots in different conditions.
9. What did kids struggling with math fail to do
A. Spot similar errors. B. Complete the trials.
C. Acknowledge their mistakes. D. Make their thinking flexible.
10. Why do kids with math struggles perform inconsistently
A. Their brain activity is weaker. B. They ignore different settings.
C. Their brain capacity is smaller. D. They lack usual brain training.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Beyond Errors: The Cause of Learning Math Well
B. Beyond Numbers: The Reason for Math Difficulties
C. Learning from Numbers: The Way to Conquer Math
D Learning from Life: The Key to Bettering Math Abilities
D
Due to a shortage of fruit pickers, around 10% of fruits worldwide never get harvested. Fruit that gets picked even two weeks late ends up losing 80% of its value. Worse still, farmers lose around $30 billion in sales every year due to overripe fruit that never gets harvested. If this trend continues, there will be five million less workers than necessary by 2050. Farmers are left with the question of how to solve this issue.
Tevel Aerobotics Technologies has a remedy. The company has developed flying autonomous robots (FARs) that pick ripe fruit off the trees and lower it to the ground for collection. The FARs are able to work around the clock during harvest without the need for breaks or sleep. They function on gas and electricity and are connected to a power source so that they do not need to land to be recharged.
The FARs are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) technology that is easily programmable with information about how to tell when a fruit is ripe according to its color grading or weight or size, how to remove each type of fruit off the tree to safely harvest them, and whether the fruit is damaged or unsellable. Setup is easy, taking under two hours with the help of Tevel employees who then stay on the farm for a week in order to monitor the system and ensure it works properly as well as train the farmers to operate the system.
The robots are controlled via a mobile device app which analyzes the data collected during the harvest about the amount of fruit picked, its weight, pesticide (杀虫剂) effectiveness, and any diseases that may be present, and then shares it with the farmers. The data help the farmers to know more about how their farm is functioning overall, including areas that may need more irrigation and spots that are producing more or less fruit so that they can respond accordingly.
Tevel is currently adding new fruits to its AI system so that the farmers have more of a variety on where to place them.
12. Why do farmers suffer heavy economic losses
A. Fruit pickers are insufficient. B. Climate affects yields greatly.
C. Storage conditions are unstable. D. Labor costs are extremely high.
13. What does the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Vision. B. Drawback. C. Principle. D. Solution.
14. How do Tevel employees ensure safe harvesting
A. By maintaining FARs each week. B. By monitoring FARs remotely.
C. By presetting tailored operations. D. By alerting farmers to dangers.
15. What can be inferred from paragraph 4 about FARs
A. They popularize AI in harvesting. B. They make farmers well-informed.
C. They facilitate eco-friendly farming. D. They improve farmers’ social skills.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the last two decades, the fight against mosquitoes has witnessed the use of high tech. A new method for dealing with mosquitoes has recently gained popularity. It gives mosquitoes a naturally occurring bacterium, Wolbachia. ____16____ When enough Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes become established, the local population still flies around, but it can’t spread diseases like dengue or Zika.
However, before we reach for the big red button, one lesson is worth considering. In A Sand County Almanac, conservationist Aldo Leopold tells a story about shooting a wolf and watching “a fierce green fire” die in her eyes. He said it was at that moment that he realized he hadn’t been “thinking like a mountain”. What does that mean Kill the wolves and you get more deer temporarily. ____17____
____18____ But “thinking like a mountain” means asking what else is associated with them. The honest answer Perhaps more than we’d like to admit. Some spiders and fish specialize in eating mosquitoes. Many birds, particularly in the Arctic summer, where insects are a protein windfall, depend on them during crucial periods. A few plants even rely on mosquitoes to set seed. ____19____ Eliminating (消除) mosquitoes, you may destroy the whole ecosystem.
Will every ecosystem crash if we eliminate a disease-carrying population in one neighborhood No. Would every system adapt if we eliminated mosquitoes everywhere That isn’t clear. ____20____ World Mosquito Program’s Wolbachia approach leaves local mosquito numbers roughly unchanged while eliminating their ability to spread diseases. Total removal by repeated releases of engineered males is a weapon. But we should be clear about what tool we’re using.
A. Of course, mosquitoes aren’t wolves.
B. The challenge lies in scale and purpose.
C. Don’t simply think about reducing bites.
D. In this way, viruses inside them can be blocked.
E. After all, citizens always speak ill of mosquitoes.
F. That said, you see a poorer forest in the long term.
G. You can never get rid of all mosquitoes completely.

My son and his new friend met on the way to school. As first graders, they were both carrying backpacks, ____21____ walking sticks, and chatting with their parents.

A few seconds later, they used their walking sticks as ____23____ and fought with each other, laughing happily the whole time.
This may seem like a(n) ____24____ morning, yet it hid some distinctive ____25____ . The boys spoke different languages. My fair-haired son, Jake, a self-called ____26____ , knows few Spanish phrases, while Sasha, a bright-eyed Mexican-American, speaks ____27____ Spanish and a little English.
After their initial meeting, the boys ____28____ they “need” to play together every week. We’d meet on Saturdays — two families on the beach — and the boys would ____29____ “houses” using driftwood and stones, speaking English mixed with Spanish, but they could communicate smoothly. They’d even merrily share ____30____ , which might be apples, nuts, cookies and the like.
Over time, it became apparent that this was more than “child’s ____31____ ”. The time Jake and Sasha spent together filled a hole they both had, ____32____ language and culture, cutting to the ____33____ of what it means to be human.
When it came time for our family to ____34____ from Mexico to America, it was heartbreaking for the inseparable boys. Yet we all recognized that a motivation to ____35____ with the world had been offered to us.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Hong Kong is home to over seven million people, over 88 percent of ____36____ speak Cantonese (粤语). The former fishing village has seen the rapid development of commerce and trade, with Cantonese and English ____37____ (take) root as the two official languages. But another language called Chinglish is silently emerging in this city.
Like the singsong Singlish ____38____ (speak) by the Singaporeans, Hong Kong people have created their own language having terms only ____39____ (local) can understand. Though it started off as a substitute for Chinese characters, Chinglish translates Cantonese words and expressions into English while keeping its Cantonese ____40____ (pronounce) and syntax (句法).
Chinglish expressions can be literal or phonological translations (音译), which often sound ____41____ nonsense to native English speakers. For example, when you are “blowing water”, you are not blowing air bubbles into the liquid for fun; it ____42____ (mere) means having a small talk.
In recent years, Chinglish ____43____ (lift) from just being poor English to being a local language that Hong Kong people identify with, as no other language has ____44____ unique grasp of Cantonese feelings. Since its vocabulary breaks away from the standard English code, Chinglish is about being playful, unconcerned, and ____45____ (innovate).

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Nick owned a small drugstore in a residential neighborhood. For three years, he had only accepted mobile payment. He always argued it was far more efficient and convenient compared with handling cash. There was even a big sign on his counter that read: “Mobile Payment Only.”
One bitter winter afternoon, the wind was blowing hard outside. Nick was busy arranging the shelves when the door opened with a sharp creak (嘎吱声). An old lady walked in, wearing a thin coat and a pair of worn-out shoes. Her hair was messy, and her hands were shaking from the cold. She looked around the store and finally picked up a small vial (瓶) of medicine.
She walked slowly to the counter and put the medicine down. Then she took out a small, crumpled (皱的) wallet from her pocket and unfolded it. Inside were some coins and a few banknotes. She counted the money cautiously, and then held it out to Nick. “Excuse me, can I pay with this ” she begged in a weak voice.
Nick glanced at the cash, then at the sign behind him, and shook his head. “I'm sorry, madam. I don’t accept cash. You need to pay with your phone.” The old lady’s face turned pale. She slipped the money back into her wallet and stared down at her feet. “But I don't have a smartphone,” she said sadly. “My husband is sick at home, and he needs this medicine. I only have this cash...” Her voice started to break.
Nick felt a little uncomfortable, but he still insisted. “I'm really sorry, but that’s my rule. Maybe you can go to the next store They might take cash.” The old lady nodded slowly, gathered her belongings, and walked out of the store. Nick watched her leave: her steps were labored, and her shoulders braved the biting wind. He stood there for a moment, feeling something was wrong.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Just then, a girl who had heard their talk spoke up.
