阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
What is a GPA?
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course
performance on average. It's used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by
students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post- graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA?
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
●Translate the letter grade to grade point s using your school's grading system;
●Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
●Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
●Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.

What are the consequences of failing college courses?
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations
and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
●Most financial aid program s require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may
lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and
team sports.
●Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.
21. Where is this text probably taken from?

Bed rotting — the practice of spending long periods of time just staying under the covers with snacks, screens
and other creature comforts— is gaining popularity on social media. Some Generation Z trend followers are now
viewing it as a form of self- care, but doctors warn too much could be“ sign of depression”. Are these extended
breaks really wise for one's mental health — or could they be a cause for concern?
Dr. Ryan Sultan, a professor at Columbia University in New York, who treats many young people, called the
bed rotting trend attractive.“ In our culture today, with too much to do, too many expectations and too much
productivity, many young individuals are feeling burned out and often aren't getting enough sleep. It's easy to see
why taking time off to lie around is attractive,” Sultan said.“ In many ways, this is beneficial. It's a chance to get
away from real- life problems and clear your head before returning to life in a better state of mind,” he added.
For the downside, however, he said a long- term need or desire for bed rotting could do harm to one's physical
health. Spending too many daytime hours in bed — awake or not —— could destroy sleep schedules. Our brains
are fine- tuned for sleep in darkness and alertness in light. Lying in bed half- asleep during the day will worsen sleep
schedules — once that happens, it is a challenge to fix. It could also lead to blood pressure problems and obesity.
Long- term need or desire for bed rotting could also be a warning sign of depression, according to a mental
health expert. Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical
contributor, agreed that while some downtime can be useful in terms of de- stressing and rejuvenation, too much
bed rotting is a bad health practice. In addition to increasing the risk of depression, it contributes to decreased
motivation as well.
Instead of bed rotting, Siegel recommends regular exercise as a better form of de- stressing. While the
occasional lazy day can be beneficial, too much could have the opposite effect. If it happens every day, that's a fairly
sensitive test for depression. Those who lack the motivation to get out of bed could also try calling or texting a
公众号：黑洞视角family member for support, socializing with close friends, finding a small task to complete, or reaching out to a
medical professional for help.
24. According to Dr. Ryan Sultan, why do young people like bed rotting?
A. Bed rotting is a way to escape stress.
B. Bed rotting helps fix sleep schedules.
C. They are unwilling to socialize with friends.
D. They are fond of what is popular on social media.
25. What does the word“ fine- tuned” underlined in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Badly- needed. B. Well- trained. C. Quickly- activated. D. Ill- equipped.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Feeling down leads to decreased motivation.
B. Bed rotting can allow people to avoid expectations.
C. Sleeping in light can increase the risk of depression.
D. Being lazy from time to time can be good for individuals.
27. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Different opinions on how to become motivated.
B. Main causes of the long- term need for bed rotting.
C. Practical suggestions for young people to deal with stress.
D. Possible problems from lying in bed for extended periods of time.

Can you imagine getting a major dental procedure without novocaine (一种麻醉药)?A scientist colleague of
mine recently told me, rather than use it, he used a“ focus in” meditation technique to direct all of his attention to
his mouth with as much calming equanimity as he could gather. Doing so transformed the pain for a few minutes.
A stream of scientific articles suggests that there are benefits in turning toward discomfort or negative emotions
with acceptance. In addition, all of us can gain from finding ways to cope with stress and suffering—— particularly
when larger circumstances are beyond our control. As a research er who has studied meditation for more than 20
years, I believe that the cultivation of equanimity can help.
It's important to first define the idea of turning toward discomfort. I'm not advocating for people to put
themselves in dangerous positions. But when we push ourselves into challenging or embarrassing situations, much
like trainers who push athletes just past their comfort zone to make gains, learning often happens.
My own research indicates that meditation provides an ideal way to practice turning toward discomfort—
particularly when it trains up one's equanimity. In my laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, we conducted
several clinical trials on developing equanimity during mindfulness meditation training. This approach includes
guided meditation exercises such as using a matter- of - fact voice to label uncomfortable feelings in the body or
welcoming uncomfortable feelings by saying“ yes” aloud each time a feeling is detected.
We hired 153 stressed adults and offered them a mindfulness meditation training program with or without
training in equanimity. Our equanimity skills training group had significantly better outcomes on several measures.
After just 14 days of training, for example, the participants who learned equanimity skills had significantly lower
biological stress responses when asked to deliver a difficult speech and solve math problems in front of experts in
white lab coats. This group also had significantly lower blood pressure and stress levels. In the days after training,
people introduced to equanimity exercises also reported significantly higher positive emotions and well- being
throughout the day and more meaningful social interactions than participants who received mindfulness training
without the equanimity component. It was as though developing equanimity had transformed their emotional
公众号：黑洞视角reactivity to stress, helping them better appreciate and enjoy daily life's many little positive experiences and making
them more curious and open to connecting with others.
We are expanding on this work in several ways—— including through the development of an app that offers
equanimity training on demand and with trials involving participants with stress- related gastrointestinal(胃肠的)
disorders. Meanwhile other scientists are further exploring equanimity's power. We are convinced we can each build
our resilience on a personal level by cultivating greater acceptance of our experience —— good or bad, painful or
pleasant — in the present moment.
28. What can be learned about equanimity?
A. It is a state of mental calmness.
B. It is a form of negative emotions.
C. It is a replacement for novocaine.
D. It is the result of mindfulness meditation.
29. Which of the following is a good example of equanimity training?
A. Ignoring discomfort totally.
B. Detecting unusual behavior.
C. Keeping emotions to oneself.
D. Seeing negative feelings objectively.
30. Paragraph 5 is written to show .
A. the benefits of developing equanimity
B. the procedure of mindfulness meditation
C. the performances of two meditation training groups
D. the relationship between equanimity and well- being
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Stress contributes to physical disorders.
B. Pleasant experiences result in greater equanimity.
C. People are likely to have easy access to equanimity training.
D. Resilience can help people gain more acceptance of hardship.

Food packaging from around the world contains at least 68“ forever chemicals” that can seep into what we
eat, a new study finds. And 61 of them are not even supposed to be used in such products.“ It's not clear why the
latter chemicals, which are not on lists of those authorized for use in food containers, are in such packaging.” says
the study's author Birgit Geueke.
The study focused on a class of chemicals called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoronlkyl substances (PFASs),
which are sometimes called“ forever chemicals” because they don't break down readily in the environment or in the
body. That's because their characteristic carbon- fluorine bond(碳氟键) is one of the strongest in nature. For decades,
these substances have been used in a wide range of consumer products, from cookware to pesticides to cosmetics,
because they are proof against water and grease.
Geueke and her team found a mismatch between what they detected in actual products and a database of PFAS
chemicals authorized for use in food packaging. About 140 PFASs are known to be used in food packaging, but
only seven of the 68 chemicals in the study were on this list. Geueke says it's unclear how or why the other61
chemicals turned up. David Andrews, a chemist and toxicologist at a nonprofit environmental advocacy
organization, suggests it's possible that unknown impurities emerged during the manufacturing of the authorized
chemicals or that the authorized PFASs degrade over time. This class of chemicals includes many long- chain
公众号：黑洞视角molecules, and they can break into shorter chains that are simply different types of PFASs.
PFASs have been found in human blood and breast milk, drinking water, soil and other startling places around
the world. Exposure to some of the most studied PFASs has been associated with cancer, reproductive problems and
lessened responses to vaccines.“ There’s an incredible body of scientific evidence linking PFAS chemicals to health
harm,” says Andrews. Many countries are evaluating restrictions of PFASs in food packaging.
Chemical industry representatives have advocated for dealing with PFASs as individual chemicals. Before
publishing the new study, Scientific American reached out to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), a
chemistry industry trade association, about it, but the organization did not reply. On its dedicated PFAS webpage,
ACC notes that“ all PFASs are not the same. Each individual chemical has its own unique properties and uses.”
Andrews and Geueke both say the presence of unknown PFASs in food packaging is good reason to regulate
these chemicals as a single class—a position shared with many other scientific experts and environmental protection
groups. There are more than 12,000 known PFASs, and scientists don't know much about most of them.“ Only some
PFASs have ever been tested for toxicity,” Geueke says, and“ there are probably other ways to produce food
packaging.”
32. What can we learn about PFASs from the passage?
A. They are able to resist water and grease. B. They last long and never break down.
C. They contain the longest chemical bond. D. They are mainly used for food packaging.
33. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A. the potential usage of the unknown impurities
B. the authorization of food packaging chemicals
C. the likely transforming process from PFASs into new chemicals
D. the possible explanation for the presence of unauthorized PFASs
34. The words on the webpage in Paragraph 5 may show that ACC .
A. supports testing more unknown PFASs for toxicity
B. has got the authoritative power in dealing with PFASs
C. has worked out ways to use PFASs safely in different products
D. agrees with chemical industry representatives regarding PFASs
35. Which would Geueke probably agree with?
A. Laws should be made to ban the use of PFASs.
B. Food packaging alternatives should be explored.
C. The chemicals in food packaging should be listed.
D. Scientists should continue discovering new PFASs.

When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were
basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. 36 . For example, they took us to Denali National
Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything
from the SkyMall catalog(目录).
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost
privilege. 37 . Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating
college, I've been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loc h Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand
Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and
公众号：黑洞视角I have stayed at a $9/ night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin- starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna,
and most recently, road- tripped through three states.
38 . After all, even if you' re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you
isn't always easy.“ 39 ,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey- based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing
number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she
says she's had no“ disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“ Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser
based in Bozeman, Montana.“ It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult
selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now,
with“ now” being the key word. 40 .
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they' re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we' re always evolving
D. That's not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

I was born in the Netherlands and lived there until I was 30 years old. In the Dutch context, I was emotionally
intelligent, and I 41 expected that this could be any different.
When at the University of Michigan, I joined a discussion on 42 . I introduced myself in an
understated( Dutch) way as“ interested in culture and emotion”. The professor, to fit American 43 , added that I
was one of the world's experts on culture and emotion. In response, I looked down in 44 and said in a low voice
that“ expert” was a big word.
I lived in North Carolina and had new friends coming over to dinner. Conversations were lively that evening.
When my guests left, they 45 me for dinner. My heart sank, because in the Netherlands,“ thanking for dinner”
means the relationship is 46 .
The Netherlands and the US do not have massively different 47 . But emotional interactions between
individuals from these different cultures are not 48 . The professor meant to make me feel good, but instead made
me 49 . My friends meant to show gratitude, but they made me think they were distancing themselves from us
instead. Where did it go wrong in these interactions?
I now think the answer is that we were interacting with different 50 in mind. In the US, it is important that
people feel good about themselves: other people help you 51 and have self- esteem. You are an expert, and you
made the special effort to cook us this delicious dinner. 52 , in the Netherlands, it is important to make true 53
with other people, and not to pretend you are better than anybody else. The daily dances of emotions are 54 :
Americans dance to the music of making each other special, while Dutch dance to the music of true connection.
And when you 55 them up, people start stepping on each other's toes.

LA- based AD100 designer Jamie Bush embraces natural materials and bold designs that inspire and delight.
Originally trained 56 an architect, Bush is drawn to timeless pieces with clean lines, such as minimalist furniture
and bedding. When it comes to designing the perfect bedroom, here's 57 Bush would approach it.
“ You can use timeless pieces as a handsome 58 ( found) for many aesthetic languages,” Bush says. For
example, Bush imagines thoughtful designs in a Scandinavian- style bedroom 59 he'd center the space with a
solid wood bed frame and headboard in a natural color. The head board creates a 60 ( remarkable) simple setup,
and it takes about five minutes to assemble with no tools.“ This furniture 61 ( make) without veneers(饰面),” he
says. “I like that you can see the wood grains, the knots, and the natural imperfections in the product.”
To maintain a consistent horizon line, Bush would arrange two 4x3 storage units in 62 U- shape around
three walls opposite the bed. 63 ( allow) for infinite artful displays, the storage units’ open drawers can be added
or removed 64 ( create) endless customizations that will never look dated.“ These pieces aren't going to recall a
certain day and age,” he says.“ In 10, 15,20 years from now, these pieces 65 ( be) timelessly in fashion.”

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。
It took a day's drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father's car with
my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination,
but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was
公众号：黑洞视角talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting
a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new
classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and
they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school.
Feeling lonely, I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing
pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations
with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn't shake
off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn
for the worse when I knocked off Alex's water bottle by accident, though I picked up the bottle immediately and
apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.
