It was about 3 a.m. and Harrison-Bentzen was panic. “I came out after a student night out and realized I didn’t have any battery on my phone. I’d lost my friends,” the 22-year-old told BBC Radio 5. She’d also lost her bank card, she discovered, and she had no money.‎ Just then, a homeless man. known only as Robbie, approached the young woman and asked her if she needed help. He reached into his pocket and pulled out all the money he had—loose change amounting to about $4.60. He insisted that Harrison-Bentzen take it to pay for a taxi so she’d get home safely.‎ Harrison-Bentzen, a student at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England, says she refused to take Robbie’s money and found another way to get home. But following her encounter（偶然相遇）with the generous man, she says she ‎ couldn’t get him out of her mind.‎ For the next few days, the student searched for Robbie, driving around the streets with her mom and using social media in an attempt to locate the man. In that time, Harrison Bentzen says she learned more about Robbie and discovered that he actually that he actually had a reputation for helping strangers.‎ Finally, after four days of driving around Preston, Harrison-Bentzen found Robbie. She was determined to do something to help change Robbie’s life.‎ So, earlier this month, the student launched a fundraising campaign in Robbie’s name. She explained that she would be spending 24 hours on the streets, so as to “understand the difficulties” that the homeless face on a daily basis.‎ Harrison-Bentzen says she had initially（最初）hoped to raise about $780 with her campaign. Her expectations, however, were quickly blown out of the water. As of Thursday morning, 4,800 people have donated almost $50,000.‎ ‎24. What happened to Harrison-Bentzen in early December?‎ A. She was robbed by a bad guy. B. She met with a kind homeless man.‎ C. She lost everything she had with her. D. She was injured in a traffic accident.‎ ‎25. Which of the following words can best describe Robbie?‎ A. Warm-hearted. B. Strange. C. Clever. D. Hard-working.‎ ‎26. Why would Harrison-Bentzen be spending 24 hours on the streets?‎ A. To make her campaign more famous.‎ B. To raise more money for the homeless.‎ C. To save the homeless from the difficult life.‎ D. To experience the homeless people’s life.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from the next?‎ A. Harrison-Bentzen accepted Robbie’s help at last.‎ B. With Robbie’s help, Harrison-Bentzen took a taxi to go home safely.‎ C. Harrison-Bentzen was a college student when the story was happening.‎ D. Harrison-Bentzen and her friends spent four days finding Robbie to thank him.‎ C In recent decades, social isolation has been recognized as a major risk to our health and long life. it’s twice as bad for you as being overweight and nearly as bad as smoking. The rising number of people who say they are affected, across a wide range of ages, is shocking. In reality, you can suffer the ill effects of loneliness even if you are not socially isolated.‎ Comedian Robin Williams made a striking observation in 2014: “I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.” Tracking large groups over time indicates that perceived（感知的）social isolation carries its own risk for morbidity（发病率）and mortality.‎ The perception of isolation—from others of being in the social aspect—is not only a cause of unhappiness, it also signals danger. Fish have evolved to swim to the middle of their group when predators（捕食者）approach, mice housed in social isolation show sleep disruptions and reduced slow-wave sleep and prairie voles（田鼠）isolated from their partners then placed in an open field explore their surroundings less and concentrate on avoiding predators.‎ These behaviours reflect an increased emphasis on self-preservation in the social aspect. For instance, fish on the edge of a school are more likely to be attacked by predators because they are easier to isolate and prey upon. Such observations reflect a more general principle that perceived social isolation in social animals activates neural（神经系统的）, neuroendocrine（神经内分泌的）and behavioural responses that promote short-term self-preservation. However, these responses bring a cost for long-term health and well-being.‎ The range of harmful neural and behavioural effects of perceived isolation documented in adults include increased anxiety, hostility and social withdrawal; fragmented sleep and daytime tiredness; increased vascular resistance and changed gene expression and immunity decreased impulse control; increased negativity and depressive symptoms; and increased age-related cognitive decline.‎ Sadly, to date, attempts to reduce loneliness have met with limited success. A series of randomized controlled trials showed that they had only a small effect. Among ‎ the four types of interventions（介入）examined, talking therapy that focused on inappropriate thought processes had the largest impact. Social skills training, social support and increased opportunities for social contact were much less effective.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about social isolation from the first paragraph?‎ A. It exists mainly among adults.‎ B. More and more people are suffering it.‎ C. Its effect is more serious than smoking.‎ D. It’s the worst risk to our health and long life.‎ ‎29. During perceived social isolation, animals will suffer bad health for ________.‎ A. focusing more on their own safety B. being separated from their partners C. adapting to the new surroundings D. worrying about their lack of food ‎30. The fifth paragraph is mainly about ________.‎ A. causes of perceived isolation.‎ B. treatments for perceived isolation.‎ C. bad effects of perceived isolation.‎ D. the definition of perceived isolation.‎ ‎31. What is the most effective in helping suffers of perceived social isolation?‎ A. Giving them strong social support.‎ B. Communicate more and better with them.‎ C. Get them to attend some training courses.‎ D. Enlarge their circles of social networks.‎ D Harvard University, which is facing claims of racial discrimination（歧视）against Asian-Americans in its admission process, has announced that its early acceptance rate for Asian-Americans for the Class of 2022 has hit 24.2 percent, up from 21.7 percent a year earlier. The figures were released on Dec 12, 2017 by the school on its official website, the Harvard Gazette.‎ Of the 6,630 applicants who applied for admission under the early action program,‎ ‎ 964 were accepted. The college said 4,882 were deferred（推迟）, 611 were rejected, and 173 applications were incomplete.‎ The early enrollments（入学）for the Class of 2022 also reflect an overall increase in other nonwhite students from previous years, the famous university said. African-Americans make up 13.9 percent of students admitted early, compared with 12.6 percent last year. At the same time, Latinos（拉丁美洲人）account for 9.8 percent, up 1 percentage point last year, and Native Americans and Native Hawaiians account for 1.8 percent, up from 1.1 percent.‎ ‎“From small towns, suburbs, and cities—from throughout the United States and around the world—the Class of 2022 promises to be among the best classes in Harvard’s long history,” said William R. Fitzsimmons, dean（主任）of admissions and financial aid at Harvard University.‎ Harvard is facing scrutiny from the Department of Justice and a separate lawsuit（诉讼）accusing the college of discriminating against Asian-Americans in its undergraduate admission process.‎ In November, 2017 the Justice Department cited a 2015 lawsuit that charges Harvard’s affirmative action policies discriminate against Asian-American applicants, in a letter setting a Dec 1 deadline for Harvard to hand over documents on its admission policies. Responding to that deadline, Harvard offered a compromise position in which the government’s lawyers would able to examine all the records, including an electronic database, in the offices of Harvard’s lawyers, with some personal information redacted（编写）, according to The New York Times.‎ Harvard University reported that 16.6 percent of a total 29,652 students are Asian, according a collegefactual.com. Over the past five years, the total international population of students on campus has grown at an average rate of 6.8 percent. China is the largest contributor to this growth, with about 1,263 students.‎ ‎32. Why is Harvard University charged?‎ A. Because sometimes it doesn’t treat all students at school equally.‎ B. Because it does not provide enough financial aid for poor students.‎ C. Because some people are unsatisfied with it admission policies.‎ D. Because its total international population of students is decreasing.‎ ‎33. Which make up the smallest percentage of students admitted early by Harvard?‎ A. Latinos.‎ B. Asian-Americans.‎ C. African-Americans.‎ D. Native Americans and Native Hawaiians.‎ ‎34. The possible meaning of the underlined word “scrutiny” in Para.5 is “________.”‎ A. a plan or desire to do something B. careful and thorough examination C. the feeling of being annoyed, upset, or impatient D. the level that is considered to be acceptable ‎35. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Harvard admits more Asian-Americans B. Nonwhite students at Harvard University D. Class of 200 is among the best classes in Harvard’s long history.‎ 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。‎ Five ways to improve creativity Creativity is the ability to go beyond traditionally rules, ideas or relationships and create something new through imagination or progressiveness, There are many ways to improve your creative mind.‎ Exercise the mind.
