第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
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。
AChoosing a major is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while you’re in college. It’s important that you
make your choice confidently and after some consideration.
There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”.
Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s
nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can
use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your
freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their
major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their
major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities.
Explore Your Passions and Abilities.
Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an
undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to
connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have
an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history
seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an
undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that.
Consider Employment Opportunities.
While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will
provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most
earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business
majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize
that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication,
written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career
you’re interested in pursuing.
Talk to an Academic Advisor.
If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career
development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of
what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these
professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major.
Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.

We were designing a wheelchair for a college engineering course. My classmates were certain that we needed
to use steel and they felt only steel would be strong enough. I thought steel would be too heavy and aluminum
would be a better option. But the student who strongly advocated steel worked at a bike shop. A few days later,
when the big and heavy steel arm kept dropping down, I wished I had shown more determination to defend my
position.
I enjoyed doing handiwork and my parents would come home and see artworks I had finished that day—
painting, clay sculpting, sewing stuffed animals, etc. But when I studied engineering in college, these pursuits
were deep-sixed. Not only was I stretched for time, but I didn’t think they were relevant to my academic work. Ihesitated to highlight my female crafting (手工艺) interests in the male-dominated engineering environment
where I already felt like an outsider.
When I went on to pursue a Ph.D．— early in the pandemic, I felt anxious and turned to crafting. One day I
was making a set of dice as a gift for a friend. While putting the liquid resin (树脂) into the silicone mold (硅胶模
具), I made a joke to my partner that I was “injection molding” — a standard engineering manufacturing process.
I suddenly realized that although resin art is not injection molding in the technical sense, it shares the spirit and
probably some skills.
Soon I saw connections between engineering and crafting that I had previously overlooked. When working
on the wheelchair project, I used my sewing skills to create cushioned grips for the handles. I saw how crafting
taught me to persevere when my product didn’t match my initial vision and to consider the failed creation a
learning experience, just as an engineer must.
Since then, I’ve built crafting back into my free time. I’ve also stopped hiding it from my colleagues. I
mentioned my dice-making experience at a robotics conference and explained in a team meeting how we could
gain inspiration from art experiences. I was glad that the responses were positive — not rude or dismissive, as I
used to fear.

Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热)
properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to
packaging material that protects items during shipping. With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad
reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.
But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms.
Scientists from the U. S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest
a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into
carbon dioxide.
Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic? Much to the scientists’ surprise,
the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠). The researchers will
study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale.
Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.
“Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental
engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage
waiting to be dealt with, he says.
About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and
containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than 1
million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University.
46．What do we know about Styrofoam?
A．It can be used to cool drinks.
B．It is a weightless material.
C．It is harmful when recycled.
D．It is usually used on ships.
47．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Mealworms have amazing digesting power.
B．Mealworms are not bad in their nature.
C．Mealworms can rescue people’s lives.
D．People misunderstood mealworms in the past.48．Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system?
A．To find ways to help mealworms grow larger.
B．To imitate their ways of breaking down plastic.
C．To help develop their digesting ability.
D．To make sure of their safety after eating plastic.
49．In the future, plastic may be recycled ______.
A．by raising amounts of mealworms
B．by environmental engineering instructors
C．using a method inspired by eating mealworms
D．without sending out dangerous pollution
50．What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Styrofoam is widely used in daily life.
B．Mealworms are genius at eating plastic.
C．Plastic recycling may be no more a problem.
D．Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide.

In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational
speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that
disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end
in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words,
we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to
persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by
Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as
competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he
says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and
preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it
at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and
convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process
is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather
than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and
pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
51．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1?
A．To offer an example to handle failure.
B．To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C．To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
52．What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”?
A．It protects us from false feedback. B．It pictures us as competitive people.
C．It poses a severe threat to self-image. D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
53．What is the author’s attitude towards failure?
A．Short-sighted. B．Wait-and-see. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.
54．What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean?
A．Unhappily. B．Mistakenly. C．Hurriedly. D．Carelessly.
55．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?
A．Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B．Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.

Meet Mahdi Gilbert, the 25-year-old Canadian magician making waves in the world of magic. He practicescard manipulation (握牌手法) and sleight of hand (敏捷手法), a common skill set for a magician, but what makes
him different is his lack of hands.
Standing at four feet and six inches, Gilbert’s left arm stops at the elbow, and he has an appendage (附肢) on
his right arm. Gilbert was forced to reinvent magic for himself, individually recreating all of the techniques used
in his mind. Despite his lack of access to information about magic, having never visited any magic stores, or read
any magic books, Gilbert confidently told his high school guidance teacher. “I’m going to be a magician.” She
asked, “Do you do magic now?” to which he replied “Not yet. But I will.”
Mahdi began seeking out magicians online and on television as a teenager, and soon became a follower of
David Blaine. When he was sixteen, Gilbert decided to move away from mental based magic toward more
magical tricks. He bought a deck of cards and a book on card manipulation, but he didn’t tell anyone what he was
doing. Eventually, he mastered shuffling (洗牌) and then began to master different magical tricks in more
complex ways.
He began to make connections with other magicians through magic shops and his reputation began to mount.
In March, Gilbert attended Magic-Con, a magic conference in San Diego, where many famous magicians were in
attendance, including David Blaine. Gilbert quickly became the talk of the conference, and his reputation took off.
In the seven years since that Magic-Con. Gilbert has gone on to appear on television shows and has traveled to
and performed in 18 countries.
