Recently, I asked my students in class, “Why do you go to college ” Most of them answered, “To get a good job.” Now, students and parents pay more attention to picking a good college and a good major. But for most college students, their major cannot directly help them find a job.
College education should teach students to make right decisions for their lives. Studies show that today’s students care much about work purpose, meaning and happiness. They often ask themselves: “Is my work meaningful Do I have clear goals at work ” If colleges do not help students think about these questions, students will face difficulties after graduation.
Helping students find life meaning and purpose in college is not useless. In fact, studies show that if colleges give students more chances to explore these things, more students will finish college successfully.
Even companies find that young people want to do meaningful work. So they change their company cultures. Many companies want to do good things for the world. They say, “If a company has a clear purpose, it will help the world more. Purpose makes a company creative and lets workers love their jobs more.” Now workers want to find meaning in their work.
24. What do most students go to college for according to the passage
A.To get a good job.
B.To make more friends.
C.To learn interesting knowledge.
D.To enjoy college life
25. What do today’s students care about in their work
A.High pay only.
B.Easy work tasks.
C.Purpose, meaning and happiness.
D.Famous companies.
26. Why do companies change their organizational cultures
A.To make more money quickly.
B.To hire more workers.
C.To reduce working time.
D.To meet young workers’ need for meaningful work.
27. What’s the best title for the passage
A.Not just skills, companies care more culture backgrounds.
B.Not on purpose, universities are likely to make students fail in work.
C.Not just about jobs, colleges must help students create meaningful lives.
D.Not for the minority, majors play a vital role for the life and work.

Wang Yaping’s dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission.
Born in a small village in Yantai, Shandong Province in 1980, Wang had been an enthusiastic long-distance runner since primary school, and competed in local sports meetings. In 1997, Wang, a high school student, was encouraged to register for the pilot recruitment program (飞行员招募计划) by her classmates because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses. The 17-year-old had been considering applying to a teaching college, as her parents suggested.
Because of her strong build and ability to stay calm under pressure, Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became a female pilot in China. After four years of systemic education and tough training, Wang eventually learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation.
During her service as a military pilot, she accumulated 1,567 hours of flight time and was involved in major tasks such as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In May 2010, Wang became a member of China’s first batch (一批) of female astronauts. In the first year, Wang could not get the top level in the high-G training. Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her muscles. She got the top level at the end of 2011. Wang realized her space dream in 2013 as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.
Over the past two years, Wang has logged in over 6,000 hours of strict training. The most tiring exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to simulate (模拟) extravehicular (太空舱外的) activities in a weightless environment. Wang has become the first female taikonaut to work in China’s Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.
28. Why did Wang want to become an astronaut
A.Because she was able to stay calm under pressure.
B.Because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses.
C.Because she was advised to register for the pilot program by her parents.
D.Because she was influenced by China’s first manned space mission.
29. From this passage,we can know that_________.
A.Wang was the first Chinese female to take a spacewalk
B.Wang won a long-distance runner championship in college
C.Wang went to a teaching college encouraged by her classmates
D.Wang thought the seven-hour underwater training session was easy
30. What did Wang do after she joined China’s first batch of female astronauts
A.She learned to fly four different types of aircraft.
B.She received four years of systemic education in university.
C.She participated in the Shenzhou-10 mission of China.
D.She got involved in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort.

C.Modest and honest.
D.Warm-hearted and creative.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to develop more efficient methods of farming in order to fight global warming.
Global warming threatens every way of our everyday lives, including crop production. It will reduce the soil moisture (水分), and greatly affect the crop production. Climate change harms poorer countries that do not have money to import food. The result is food shortage. However, agriculture is not just a victim of global warming, but also a cause. Agriculture is part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) in which farming leads to global warming, which in turn destroys agricultural production. Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming.
This is where AI enters the scene. Farmers use AI for methods such as precision (精确) agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, enabling farmers to increase crop production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water or fertiliser (化肥) to use.
However, AI is not a silver bullet — actually it could contribute to global warming as well. Due to the large amount of data that AI needs to process, training a single AI releases five times the emissions (排放物) that an average car would give off during its lifetime. Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may face some challenges. Countries will need experts in the field who can successfully use the technology and Internet connection. Therefore, there is still a long way for developing countries to take advantage of the benefits of AI.
Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture on a broader scale.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A.To advocate environmental farming.
B.To show the importance of AI.
C.To promote low-carbon living.
D.To analyse impacts of global warming.
33. In which aspect can farmers apply AI to crop production
A.Reducing soil pollution.
B.Precision farming.
C.Solving the food problem.
D.Dealing with climate change.
34. What does the underlined phrase “a silver bullet” mean in paragraph 4
A.A big fortune.
B.A risky attempt.
C.A wonderful dream.
D.A perfect solution.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to the use of AI in farming
A.Negative.
B.Optimistic.
C.Cautious.
D.Confident.

六、写作
81.阅读下面短文,根据所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数150左右。
I used to be afraid of failure. Whenever I failed an exam, I would hide my test paper and sink into low spirits, refusing to reflect on my mistakes. Last term’s math exam completely broke me. I got the lowest score in the whole class. On the way home, tears blurred my sight. I was convinced I was useless and wanted to give up math forever.
When I got home, I didn’t dare to hand the paper to my parents. I locked myself in my room, staring blankly at the messy exercise books. My father knocked at the door and came in quietly. Instead of blaming me, he sat beside me and shared his own stories of failure. He told me every failure is a chance to find our weaknesses, not a sign of inability. His soft words calmed my anxious heart. I slowly pulled out my test paper and decided to face the failure bravely.
Paragraph 1:The next morning, I made a detailed plan to improve my math.
Paragraph 2:Months later, I got a satisfying score in the final math exam.

Paragraph 1:The next morning, I made a detailed plan to improve my math. I bought a mistake notebook to record every wrong question and analyze the reasons behind them. During class, I focused all my attention and dared to raise questions whenever I got confused. After school, I stayed in the classroom to practice related exercises. Whenever I felt tired and wanted to quit, my father’s words rang in my mind. Gradually, complicated math problems became less frightening. I no longer feared making mistakes, for I knew each error guided me forward.
Paragraph 2:Months later, I got a satisfying score in the final math exam. Holding the paper, a sense of pride flooded my mind. I rushed home to share the good news with my father. He smiled and told me the progress came from my courage to accept failure. This unforgettable experience changed my attitude towards setbacks. I finally understood that failure is never something to escape. As long as we learn from it and keep moving forward, every fall will pave the way for our future success.
