Dear Chris，
Learning that you are faced with a hard choice of your major in college and your future job，I
am writing sincerely to share with you my personal experience and some suggestions.
Always keep in mind that interest is the best teacher，which I believe is the golden rule for
choosing a major in college.From my perspective，I have been crazy about biology since junior
middle school so I plan to choose it as my major.Not only am I curious to understand the secret to
ecological balance in nature but also I am keen to explore the growth of rare
wildlife.Consequently，before making up your mind to choose a major and a future career，
you’d better think over with caution and take your interest and talent into account.
I do hope that the above suggestions I have put forward can be of some benefit and help you
out of the dilemma.Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For many foreigners，finding new friends can ease the often overwhelming task of adjusting
to a new life abroad.The following countries can definitely feel more welcoming than others.
Uganda
This East African country received the highest marks for friendliness.According to the
InterNations report,57% of foreigners in Uganda gave “general friendliness” the best possible
rating (the global average was 26%)．Not only that，not a single respondent ranked this factor
negatively.Uganda isn’t without its problems ， however ， including the occasional power
failure，and pollution from old cars.
Costa Rica
The Central American country ranks high across all factors when it comes to how easily
foreigners fit in.Almost nine out of 10 foreigners (89%) are pleased with the general friendliness of
the population，and eight out of 10 (79%) feel at home，according to the survey.
“If you make an effort to understand and eagerly accept the Costa Rican culture，you are
very much welcomed with open arms and considered a friend.”
Colombia
This South American hotspot feels like home fast，according to many foreigners.
“The Colombian people are eager to show their country in a positive light and are very
receptive and hospitable towards newcomers，” said Anne.Colombia is one of the countries in
the world with the lowest percentage of foreign-born residents.
Oman
As one of the sunniest countries in the world，Oman also has friendly residents who reflect
the warm climate.A welcoming culture rooted in faith also leads to an openness with newcomers.While the cost of living in Oman is growing more expensive，it was recently ranked by
Mercer as one of the more affordable places to live in the Middle East.

The first essay I wrote for my history of English class was perfect ，at least from my
perspective.I had worked on it constantly and couldn’t wait to get my grade back.I handed it in
with pride.
Two weeks later，I received my grade：a D．The pages were covered in red writing，
pointing out errors.There must have been a mistake.University started later for me than most.The opportunity wasn’t available when I was
younger—too many kids in our family and too little money.But I never stopped wondering what
university would have been like.I was in my 40s when I sent in my application and as a part-time
student，I will be in my 60s before I’m finished.That’s my goal.
What’s it like to be the old guy in a class full of 20-year-olds? It’s strange.They pretty
much ignored me，and I ignored them.They also ignored each other.However，after we had more
group work together，people started to communicate.Although I was an English major，some of
my favorite classes were unrelated electives.Courses in art history and Greek and Roman history
were fascinating.I was eager to do well.
I arranged a meeting to discuss my essay grade and arrived 10 minutes early to meet the
teacher’s assistant.I was ready to argue for the brilliance of my paper.However，she quickly
explained to me that the paper failed to make a strong argument.The mark remained.
While I kept studying and kept learning，I learned to love two dozen writers I had never
heard of before and explored types of literature I had never examined.Eventually，I learned how to
write an essay in proper academic prose.
University is different when you are a senior，part-time student.If you are there to establish a
career or because your parents force you to go，there are other pressures.For me，it’s just
learning.Whether I’m learning remotely or in person，it makes the world a bigger，richer place.

Studies estimate that we pick up our smartphones between 58 and 96 times a day.If my phone
is by my side，then I’m constantly checking it.Last year，I decided to make a change：I signed
up for the Phone Break-up Challenge.The goal isn’t to get rid of your phone，but to develop a
more intentional way of using it.
The first few days were easy enough.Before unlocking my phone，I must answer three
questions first：“What for? Why now? What else？” I kept the questions on my lock screen.On
Day 7，I had lunch without my phone for company.It was pleasant.I realized that，by always
having my phone on hand，I was preventing myself from sitting still with my thoughts.
One of the biggest lessons of the challenge was that willpower wasn’t enough，but having
multiple barriers to make it less appealing and accessible did help.Day 20 was the long awaited 24-
hour no-phone period.It was much easier not to check my phone when it was totally off instead of
in another room.I noticed that a feeling of calm had spread within me.
It’s true that phones are fun and filled with my favorite people.There’s nothing wrong with
mindless distraction.The problem is when that becomes a habit.Not constantly checking my phone
helped reduce that annoying habit of texting and talking at the same time or pulling out my phonewhen being with someone I love hanging out with.
Now，I am pleased to see I really do use my phone less.When I get home，I leave my phone
in my bag by the door instead of bringing it from room to room.I now also enjoy activities that I
used to run out of time for，like going for neighborhood walks or trying new recipes.

You’ve probably heard of a hybrid(杂交物种)in films or books.The centaurs in the Harry
Potter films are hybrids of human and horse. 1
Hybridization occurs in both plants and animals. 2 What’s more，many plants that
people eat，from strawberries to carrots，corn and potatoes，have been created by hybridization.
Cross-breeding(杂交) sometimes occurs when animals’ normal territory overlaps(部分重
叠)． 3 The grolar bear is a hybrid that happens when grizzly and polar bears mate.As the
environment warms，grizzlies in Alaska and Canada wander further north，bringing them into
contact with polar bears.
Artificial mixing often happens in zoos，where different species that don’t normally meet in
the wild can be introduced to each other.Ligers(lion and tiger hybrids) are unlikely to occur in
nature，because the only place that their habitats overlap is the Gir Forest in India. 4 Mixed
species are more likely to be born with health issues than other animals.Most hybrids born in zoos
are infertile，which means they are unable to have babies.However，many cross-breeds born in
the wild，like the grolar bear，can have their own babies.
5 “It’s part of the evolutionary process，” he says.Fertile hybrids can lead to the
creation of a new species and increase the variety of living things.
A．Wildlife conservation is of significance.
B．Did you know hybridization is a biological process?
C．That’s due to habitat destruction or changing climate.
D．Did you know that hybrids appear in the natural world，too?
E．Jimmy believes species hybridization in nature is a good thing.
F．Many conservationists think that creating hybrids is a bad thing.
G．Living things，especially plants，will naturally hybridize in the wild.
语篇解读 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了动植物的杂交并且举例说明其发生条件以及结果。
1．答案 D
解析 根据上文“《哈利·波特》系列电影中的半人马是人和马的杂交物种”以及下文“杂交在动植物界都会发生”可知，空处起着承上启下的作用，D项(你知道自然世界里也有杂
交物种吗？)符合语境。故选D。
2．答案 G
解析 下文提到许多植物都是通过杂交培育出来的，可知本段主要谈论植物的杂交，G项
(生物，尤其是植物，会在野外自然杂交)中“especially plants”与下文有对应关系，符合语
境。故选G。
3．答案 C
解析 根据上文“杂交有时发生在动物的领地重叠的时候”以及下文说到北极灰熊是杂交后
代并指出气候变暖可知，C项(这是由于栖息地破坏或气候变化)中“That’s due to”指代上
文“Cross-breeding(杂交)sometimes occurs”的发生条件，并引出下文举例说明发生领地重叠
的原因，符合语境。故选C。
4．答案 F
解析 下文指出，混合物种出生时有可能带有健康问题，可推断此处是对杂交的消极看法，
可知F项(许多环保主义者认为创造杂交物种是一件坏事)中“a bad thing”与下文“health
issues”有对应关系，符合语境。故选F。
5．答案 E
解析 下文提到有繁殖能力的杂交物种可以导致新物种的产生，并增加生物的种类，结合
“he says”可知，此处是一个人对杂交的积极态度和看法，E项(吉米相信自然界中的物种
杂交是一件好事)中“a good thing”与下文的“lead to the creation”以及“increase the
variety”形成对应关系，符合语境。故选E。
