Cumbria, England techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to
achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
Timothy Smith(2014) I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking
up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe. a local high point, I came across a small
Macclesfield Forest
clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. Thesmall pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the
Cheshire, England
foreground right through into the forest.

Passage 1（2022·北京东城·模拟预测）
Side hustles for college students deliver spending money while still offering the flexibility that a full class
schedule requires.
Take class notes
One side hustle for college students involves taking notes in class and selling them.
Three sites — StudySoup, NexusNotes and Stuvia — offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes
to other students at your university. Each has its own pay formula. But you usually get a bonus when someone signs
up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. Students say they can earn $250 to
$500 per class, per semester. Because this job requires taking great class notes, you’re likely to do better in school.
Become a tutor
Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens
an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to
others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person.
Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace.
Be a survey takerThe best option in this category is a site called Prolific, which helps researchers find pre-screened survey
participants. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions — age, income,
family status, etc. — in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. You’re
given an estimate of the time it will require to take each survey and how much it pays. You decide whether it’s
worth your time.
Charge scooters
Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around
campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies, such as Bird and Lime, enlist
“chargers” and “juicers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated area early the next
morning.
If you have a late class, there are two benefits to signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for
each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get
back to your dorm.
1．Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes?
A．Prolific. B．LessonFace. C．Wyzant. D．StudySoup.
2．What may make Charge scooters attractive?
A．It pays riders for charging scooters.
B．It provides more benefits for students.
C．It offers a means of free transportation.
D．It helps solve litter problem on campus.
3．The passage mainly introduces ________.
A．methods to do better in school
B．job options for college students
C．after-class activities for students
D．ways to meet a full class schedule
Passage 2（2022·重庆一中模拟预测）

physical laws.
Finders Seekers Boxes
After receiving a Finders Seekers box, you’ll explore characters of a new city and culture every month while
solving puzzles. Think of Finders Seekers as an escape room challenge that takes place in your living room. Clues

approximately two to four hours to complete.
Creation Boxes
Creation teaches students electronics, digital tips and high-level problem-solving. Each box teaches a lesson

game, and a distance detector using an ultrasonic sensor（超声传感器）.

Passage （2022·山东·德州市教育科学研究院三模）
Best Books to Make Your 2022 Happier, Brighter and More Creative
To discover nature
Today’s urban living makes it easy for us to feel divorced from nature. Like so many others, we are feeling the
call of the wild. Urban Wild by Helen Rook is out in February and full of positive suggestions to help you discover
wildness on your doorstep. The month-by-month format is such a great tool for discovery and will tell you exactlywhat to look out for each season. Melinda Salisbury’s The Way Back is a change on the traditional monthly
almanac (历书) and a truly modern guide back to natural rhythms, which is designed for those who feel most
removed from the old ways and cycles.
To go in for sports
Finding an exercise that you enjoy—one that you want to stick to because it’s so much fun—is a surefire way
to have you bounding into the year. Take a stroll with 52 Ways To Walk. Annabel Streets digs into the science and
romanticism of walking and explores the good things that can happen with this one small act. And the classic
Running Like A Girl is still a hugely inspiring book that will make you want to pull your sports shoes on before
you’ve finished chapter two.
To find your creativity
From its tiniest details to its most dramatic events, your story is a sacred gift. But how do you find and tell
that story? Nikesh Shukla’s new book Your Story Matters is out on March 17 and it’s full of writing inspiration to
help you with your own stories. Julia Cameron’s classic The Artist’s Way turns 30 this year. Her program for
creative recovery begins with the Morning Pages, a daily writing ritual of three pages of stream-of-conscious, and
the Artist Date, a dedicated block of time to nurture your inner artist.
1．What is special about Urban Wild?
A．It comes out every month. B．It shows traditional life styles.
C．It marks the start of each season. D．It promotes nature in the city.
2．Which book will fire your love for exercise?
A．The Way Back. B．The Artist’s Way.
C．Running Like A Girl. D．Your Story Matters.
3．What is the Morning Pages by Julia Cameron?
A．A creative writing task. B．A book on her own story.
