But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.‎ Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.‎ ‎ “I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”‎ ‎ With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It’ s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn’t have done it without him”‎ ‎ After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees(学费)without telling Chandler his name.‎ ‎ Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter’s decision to complete his degree is a testament(证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do for many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”‎ ‎24. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?‎ A. He hurt an artist. B. He couldn’t afford his study.‎ C. He had a hand injury. D. He got a strange disease.‎ ‎25. What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?‎ A. To know why he hung around UT. B. To do a project on homelessness.‎ C. To make friends with a homeless person. D. To finish his homework on helping others.‎ ‎26. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?‎ A. Warm-hearted. B. Strong-minded C. Brave. D. Honest.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?‎ A. He encourages Carter to study hard. B. He suggests other students learn from Carter.‎ C. He calls on other students to help Carter. D. He supports students who never give up.‎ C I go out of my way to say “thank you” to my partner frequently, and he’s the same way. We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those little things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude (感谢) is one of those things, so a quick “thanks” seems like an easy one.‎ But according to a recent study, we’re not at all typical. The study looked at over 1，000 recordings of ‎ casual conversations among families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 times were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that meant “thanks” but weren’t a direct translation of the word were counted, including physical gestures of thanks.‎ The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from different places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, Italian, English, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha’ palaa, Lao and Siwu.‎ The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians at 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. The lowest? Well, the Cha’ palaa speakers of Ecuador don’t have a word for “thank you” at all.‎ As the linguists (语言学家) explained, “Expressing thanks, in some cultures, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of feelings. In cultures where thanks are less often said, it’s because social cooperation is taken for granted, and ‘thank you’ isn’t really needed or necessary.”‎ The idea that you don’t need to thank others because it’s assumed that you’re appreciative is beautiful. But it is a bit hard for me to accept. So I’ll keep saying “thanks” as frequently as I do. But as a frequent traveler, I’ll keep in mind to watch the local custom and follow suit.‎ ‎28. What might be psychologists’ opinion about expressing thanks?‎ A. It can show a person’s values. B. It is passed down from parents.‎ C. It is a little and unnecessary thing. D. It can contribute to close relationship.‎ ‎29. What is typical among family members according to the study?‎ A. They say thanks at any time. B. They seldom express thanks.‎ C. They often show thanks using gestures. D. They often use indirect translation of thanks.‎ ‎30. Who never say “thank you”?‎ A. The Cha’ palaa. 　　　　B. The Polish. C. The Italians. 　　　D. The Russians.‎ ‎31 What is mainly talked about in the text?‎ A. People thank close friends and family less.‎ B. Family members don’t need to thank each other.‎ C. Close friends have different ways to express thanks.‎ D. Different cultures have different ways to express thanks.‎ D ‎“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those 1s and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.‎ Five of the world’s ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users’ interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.‎ That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by individuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked(泄露) or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.‎ Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.‎ The fossils of past actions fuel future economic and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.‎ ‎32. The example of Zhima credit scores is mentioned to show . ‎ A. data help companies target their services B. credit scores change people’s way of life C. Alibaba gains popularity among customers D. people prefer to be offered discounts ‎33. People don’t protect their data well mainly because . .‎ A. they find it time-consuming and complex B. they are not fully aware of its importance C. they have no access to their personal data D. they are afraid of taking responsibility ‎34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To defend companies’ use of data. B. To show the economic value of data.‎ C. To call for more regulations to protect data. D. To advocate a new way of thinking about data.‎ ‎35. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. A shopping website B. A travel brochure ‎ C. A science and technology magazine D. An economy textbook 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The first year of college is vital for setting students up for success, laying a strong foundation for the rest of college and beyond. Research shows that if you finish your first year and sign up for the second, you' re far more likely to get that degree. 36 ‎ Here 's what the experts recommend.‎ Go to college on purpose. 37 It means spending as long as four years and taking up a large amount of your family’s income. Simply going because everyone told you so puts you more at risk of having just some college and no degree. "Don't just go to college because your school counselor or your parents told you ‎ to go," says Yolanda Watson Spiva, who runs the non-profit organization Complete College America. “ 38 ”‎ Make a connection with a staff member. You can lean on any college staff member connected with the college to learn the ropes of the institution. 39 Research has shown that having one strong connection with staff members can make you feel engaged(参与) and supported throughout college. They can also result in strategic career advice and networking opportunities.‎ ‎40 Start with your classes—work on assignments together or form a study group. Join clubs and organizations—let the organizational framework of those meetings ease the awkwardness of scheduling the first friend date. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen right away. Keep reaching out. If someone else says hi, respond!‎ A. Going to college takes time and money.‎ B. Find a group of friends who support you.‎ C. So how do you get through the first year?‎ D Pick your classes wisely and map out your path.‎ E. You actually go to college because you have an agenda.‎ F. You can also ask them about things unrelated to the class.‎ G. It can be an adviser, a financial aid officer, even a librarian.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new 41 , and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his ‎ own handwriting, but he was a 42 student.
