Apply and Fly — Fly-in Programs for College Visits
College fly-in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few
days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.
You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you' re not quite sure what living there would
be like. Applying takes time, so don't do it unless you' re seriously considering the school —— that time could be
better spent on your college applications and internships(实习).
Timeline and Tips:
1. Do your research early. Make a list of your target colleges. Do they have a fly-in program? When is the
application due?
2. Write and edit essays. By doing so, you' re taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the
demanding college essays.
3. Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.)
4. Wait. Generally, students will receive results at least two weeks before the event.
Results Day:
Read the email carefully.
Waitlisted? If you wish to remain on the list, you may have to email back within a certain time frame(it' ll
say in the email) to keep your spot.
ACCEPTED! Congratulations! Make sure you do the following:
1. Submit permission forms on time. Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so.
2. Pack at least two days before! Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items.3. Join a group chat. Tapping“add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus,
you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you' ll actually keep a in deighth. Who knows,
you might end up at the same college!
21. Why are fly-in programs offered?
A. To assess students' levels.
B. To develop students' interests.
C. To expose students to college life.
D. To collect student feedback on colleges.
22. What are applicants of fly-in programs advised to do?
A. Plan for potential fees. B. Make a list of programs.
C. Provide evidence of research. D. Avoid last-minute submission.
23. Which of the following methods does the text suggest for reaching other attendees?
A. Emails. B. Messaging groups.
C. Phone calls. D. In-person meetups.
B
In the mid-20th century, maps of the world showed continents surrounded by vast,featureless oceans.
Beneath the waves, the ocean floor was largely unknown. That all changed thanks to the work of Marie Tharp, a
pioneering cartographer and geologist.
In the 1940s, few women were accepted in science. Tharp, however, was determined to make her mark. She
partnered with oceanographer Bruce Heezen, who collected sonar(声呐)data from ships that crossed the Atlantic
Ocean. The data was just a string of numbers and graphs—— without someone to translate it into a visual format, it
was difficult to interpret. That was where Tharp came in. She began plotting thousands of data points, a painstaking
process that required a mix of mathematical skill and artistic intuition.
In the process of her mapping, Tharp discovered the central valley of the Mid-AtlanticRidge, a place where
the ocean floor was pulling apart. This was exactly the kind of evidence that could support the controversial (争议
的) theory of continental drift. which was largely dismissed by the scientific community at the time,
Convincing the scientific community would prove difficult, since many geologists had long believed that the
ocean floor was flat and featureless. Tharp and Heezen turned to art to create visual representations of the ocean
floor. This produced stunning maps that brought Tharp's findings to life in a way that no scientific paper could. The
beauty of these maps captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike. Tharp's maps, and the evidence
they provided,became a cornerstone of the modern understanding of geology. Her work proved that the ocean floor
was not static(静态的) but a dynamic, changing landscape.
For many years, Tharp's contributions were overshadowed by her male colleagues —— it wasBruceHeezen's name that often appeared on scientific papers. Tharp worked behind the scenes,receiving little recognition
for her groundbreaking work.
Today, satellite and sonar technology enable us to map the ocean floor with incredible precision, but none of
this would have been possible without Tharp's pioneering efforts.
24. What underlying reason motivated Tharp's commitment to science?
A. A request from Heezen. B. A need to store sonar data.
C. A belief in continental drift. D. A desire to establish herself.
25. Why was Tharp's discovery of the central valley significant?
A. It backed a then-dismissed theory.
B. It showed sonar data was unreliable.
C It become ocean floor was flat.
D. It questioned a once-popular technology.
26. How did Tharp and Heezen make Tharp's findings widely accepted?
A. By giving public lectures.
B. By visualizing data points.
C. By consulting geology experts.
D. By publishing scientific papers.
27. How was Tharp's work treated by her contemporaries?
A. It was credited to others.
B. It was viewed as accidental.
C. It was briefly acknowledged.
D. It was ignored as lacking evidence.

When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on
social media, you shouldn't automatically assume they are reading the book.
It's known as“performative reading” as the“reader” wants“everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina
Demopoulos in The Guardian. They' re signalling they have the“taste and attention span” to“pick up a physical
book”.
The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with“BookTok”,
the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favoured books into
a“trend-driven accessory”, said Sarah Manavis in The NewStatesman.BookTok is seen as performative, with“trendy books” going viral not because of the“quality of the literature”
but because it suggests an“increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style”. And when reading work
cucompetition, with“countless users showing off”about having read more than 35 books in a single month,
supposedly, quality takes a backseat to“demonstrating yourself to be a voracious‘reader’”
Social posturing through books isn't new. What is new is the“uniquely unapologetic” way social
media“rubber-stamps” the idea of books as“an accessory, rather than an art”. And there's a danger it could lead to
publishers focusing their efforts on books that are“feed-friendly”.
But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales.In 2023, 669
million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK
libraries.
One of life's“simplest pleasures” remains“falling into a story” and“tuning the world out”, without“worrying
about what someone's going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing
exactly that, so rather than“finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at
a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because“this is not for you”, they' re simply“enjoying the moment”
28. Why do some people engage in performative reading?
A. To popularize book clubs.
B. To promote reading habits.
C. To improve their social image.
D. To stress the importance of literature.
29. What does the underlined word“voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Oceasional.
30. What risk does turning books into accessories create?
A. Online reading could take over.
B. Physical book sales will decline.
C. Book clubs may become exclusive.
D. Meaningful content might get sidelined.
31. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be .
A. urged to read privately
B. guided to select better materials
C. discouraged from posting online
D. respected without direct intervention
D
Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes seriousbrain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent
study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot
had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain ačtivity in areas
associated with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people's brains weak in the long term remains an open question.Researchers behind
this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and
weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people's mental loads, as many other technologies do.
Concerns about this kind of offloading aren't new. As long ago as the 5th centuryBC, Socrates was quoted as
complaining that writing is not“a potion(神药) for remembering,but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers
from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are
less capable as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users' mental tasks alters the brain's capacity
for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has
developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick.As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don't
think I'd know how to solve certain problems without it.”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But
in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any
cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AImakes people less intelligent, will they care?
32. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study?
A. The procedures it followed.
B. The limitations in its design.
C. The conclusion it has drawn.
D. The diversity among its participants.
33. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have?
A. People would avoid using reminders.
B. People would stop thinking independently.
C. People would rely less on their own memory.
D. People would care less about the spoken word.
34. What point does the user's remark in paragraph 5 illustrate?
A. AI can change users' mental capacity.
B. AI is not widely available to the public.
C. AI can encourage users' mental laziness.D. AI is not capable of solving every problem.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Will AI Make You Stupid?
B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks
C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities
D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit?

Picture your dream living room. You' re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it
the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? 36 , and researchers say it can influence your
wellbeing.
In times gone by, soundscapes would' ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of
crashing waves. 37 . With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and
agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a
higher risk of disease in humans. Not only that, it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on
sound.
So, what can be done? 38 In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built“superblocks”,where traffic goes around
big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised. A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that
people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality, and reduced noise.
Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. 39 .
England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers.
40 . But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for
everyone. A better world isn't just cleaner, but it should sound better too.
A. Urban design is one trick
B. Sadly, that's no longer the case in the 21st century
C. Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside
D. This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape
E. Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter
F. In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport
G. Noise is an essential part of the soundscape in most environments

Due to chemical coatings developed in the 1930s, lightweight, breathable and 56 afl44d)waterproofclothing has been widely available. 57 it turns out that the comfort and convenience have come at a cost both to
the environment and to us.
These coatings often rely on PFAS, a class of chemicals 58 (use) in a wide range of products. Highly
mobile, the chemicals leach (浸出) out of products and accumulate in the water system, food chain and human
bodies, and take hundreds to thousands of years 59 (break)down, hence the name“forever chemicals.”
“We' ve become so disengaged with the production side of clothing that we are no longer thinking about
60 is making that garment (服装) waterproof,” says Patrick Grant, an environmental scientist. “It's not magic;
it's chemistry.”
Among the companies leading the charge towards clean fashion 61 (be) Swedish brandFjällräven. Over
the past year, the brand 62 (educate) customers on how to care for the more expensive PFAS-free garments.
63 earlier waterproof clothing that protected against almost everything, including oils, newer garments require
more frequent washing.
The EU is in the process of banning PFAS in consumer products through 64 law due to come into effect
in 2026, meaning all clothing brands will have to test and 65 (public) state that they are PFAS-free. Many
brands are seizing this as an opportunity to reposition themselves as“clean fashion.”

In the heavy summer heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with a walker, weighed down with bags of
groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride? Let me help you with your groceries.”
Getting out of the car, I placed her walker and bags into my trunk. “Bless you, child,” she said. We were off.
She directed me to go south. It seemed too far for her to walk. She explained that she usually took a bus but had
missed the last one. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store.
We chatted as if we'd known each other for years. Her name was Ida. She had grandchildren.Suddenly, I
realized we were on the“wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued
down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several young men
in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance They were smoking something and appeared threatening.
Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me
intently —— too intently —— and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable, but Ida seemed fine. I stopped the car. Ida directed a couple of
the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Suddenly I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house ——
the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me. He didn't pass me but continued to drive at the
same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
It would soon be getting dark. No way was I going to stop for a suspicious stranger on a deserted street. In a
panic,I reached down for my purse to grab my cell phone. I had to call 911. But my purse wasn't there!

Dear Peter,
I hope you are doing well. I'm writing to discuss our plan for the three-minute video we need to make for the
Language Buddy Project.
I suggest that we start the video by introducing ourselves and briefly describing how we have helped each other
with English and Chinese learning. We can include short role-plays or dialogues to demonstrate common
expressions in both languages and add subtitles to make it easier for everyone to understand.
If you have any ideas about the content, filming locations, or editing style, please let me know so we can make
the video both informative and interesting. I look forward to working on it with you.
Yours,

【参考范文】
“She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness, ” I thought. Meanwhile, the guy on the motorcycle stayed
close and even tried to get in front of me, signaling for me to stop. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a purse on
the floor of my car. Yes, there was a purse, but it wasn't mine. Then I saw the guy right outside my window, waving
my purse! I couldn't believe my eyes. Ipulled over to the curb, and the young man stopped his motorcycle by the
passenger side. Through the window I had opened, he handed me my purse. “Grandma sent me to give you this.
She picked it up by mistake. She is so sorry.” He was still smiling. This time, his smile didn't appear threatening,
simply gracious.
I was speechless as I handed him his grandma's purse. Then he took off. After retrieving a few dollars, I waved
for the young man to stop, hoping to reward him, but he had disappeared into the night. I did manage to yell,
“Thank you!” I had assumed he was a criminal because he looked“wild,” but he was really an angel who went out
of his way to help a stranger. Sometimes, we misjudge a person's character because they don't conform to what we
believe is proper. They may not drive a stylish car, live on the“right” side of town, or dress in what we consider to
be fashionable, but who's to say they are not equal to or better than we are?
