The application pro
13、cess varies from country to country. If youre looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started. UK International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This
14、 system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs 20 for a single choice or 25 for more than one choice. The application consists of a series of questions to determine the students schooling and predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form
15、is the personal statement in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences. Switzerland Switzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world. Internationa
16、l applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs fo
17、r holders of foreign diplomas. Canada International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competencythere are nine
18、ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites. Singapore The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling
19、 out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20. 1. Which country requires international applicants know French well? A. UK. B. Switzerland. C. Canada. D. Singapore. 2. What part of the application is similar between the UK and

21、ompetition is even more fierce. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要对出境留学学生办理的申请手续进行了介绍，举例说明英国，瑞士，加拿大和 新加坡的留学申请注意事项进行对比。 【1 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Switzerland 部分内容“International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good
22、 grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam.( 国际申请者如果有外国学校的证书，可能需要参加入学考试，还必须证明他 们对法语有很好的掌握，通常是通过参加语言考试。)”可知，瑞士要求申请者掌握法语。故选 B项。 【2 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Canada部分内容“International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to t
23、he personal statement required for a UK university application.( 国际申 请者在申请时必须填写个人资料，这与英国大学申请时的个人陈述非常相似。)”可知，在个人陈述资料方 面，英国和加拿大的申请部分相似。故选 B 项。 【3 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Singapore部分内容“The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that th
24、e domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures(申请新加坡大学的程序大同小异，但海外学生可能会很高兴地发现，国内申请人必须经过与他们 同样的程序)”可知，新加坡的申请过程的特殊之处在于境外学生与国内学生申请流程相同。故选 C 项。 B We say that technology is a double-edged sword -while it brings convenience, it also brings new problems. The sword of social media even has a gender
25、preference in its damage: It cuts deeper into girls than boys. Earlier studies have shown that spending too much time on social media is bad for teenagers mental health. Constantly watching their friends show off perfect lives can hurt their own self-esteem (自尊). Thats not to mention the problems ca
26、used by online shaming and bullying (霸凌). Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University in the US, recently discovered an alarming trend: Since 2010, the number of teenage girls who suffer from major depression showing signs like self-harm and suicide (自杀) - has increased much faster than t
27、hat of boys. In an article she wrote at The Conversation, Twenge said social media, again, was to blame. For starters, girls use social media more than boys. Boys tend to spend their screen time on games, where they talk to their teammates through headphones. This counts as real human contact. Girls
28、, however, simply type and browse through posts, which is a much more isolated (孤立的) experience. Theyre not having a real-time conversation with someone, Mary Fristad, psychologist at The Ohio State University, told NPR. And when it comes to online shaming girls are also more vulnerable than boys. G
29、irls face more pressure about their appearance, which could be exacerbated (加重) by social media, wrote Twenge. Shannon McLaughlin, for example, is an 18-year-old from Blackburn College in the US. She shared with the Guardian how social media made her feel depressed. I was constantly confronted (面对)
30、by women with skinny bodies who were praised for the way they looked. This was only made worse by the diet fixes and skinny culture, she said. But McLaughlin found a solution. She started volunteering with the National Citizen Service, where she made face-to-face contact with people. Its so easy to
31、forget the importance of real connections when we have hundreds of people that were trying to impress at our fingertips, she told the Guardian. And she hopes that others look up from their phones and focus more on the world around them. 4. What did Twenge find in her recent study? A. Overuse of soci
32、al media harms teenagers mental health. B. Social media does more harm to girls than boys. C. Girls suffered more from bullying than boys. D. Online shaming and bullying are to blame for teenagers depression. 5. Why do girls tend to feel more isolated than boys online, according to Mary Fristad? A.
33、Girls have less real-time interaction with people. B. Playing games allows boys to have more fun than girls. C. Girls suffer more pressure on social media. D. Girls usually desire more contact with others. 6. The underlined word vulnerable in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to . A. adjusting onese
34、lf well B. fighting back bravely C. being unconcerned about something D. being likely to be at risk of something 7. What does McLaughlin advise teenage girls to do? A. Ignore social media and stop following a diet. B. Connect more with the real world. C. Constantly take part in volunteer work. D. Ma
35、ke better use of phones for socializing. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在社交媒体方面，女孩子相对于男孩子而言面临更大的压力。研究人员 发现自 2010年以来，患有严重抑郁症的少女数量的增长速度远远快于男孩。文章分析了这一情况产生的原 因以及呼吁青少年们更多地和真实的世界来接触。 【4 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University in the US, recently discovere
36、d an alarming trend: Since 2010, the number of teenage girls who suffer from major depression showing signs like self-harm and suicide - has increased much faster than that of boys. In an article she wrote at The Conversation, Twenge said social media, again, was to blame.美国圣地亚哥州立大学教授 Jean Twenge最近发
37、现了一个令人担 忧的趋势：自 2010年以来，患有严重抑郁症(表现出自残和自杀等症状)的少女数量的增长速度远远快于男 孩，在她写的一篇文章中，Twenge 说社交媒体也是罪魁祸首。可知由此可知，Twenge在她最近的研究中发 现过度使用社交媒体会损害青少年的心理健康。故选 A。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中 Girls, however, simply type and browse through posts, which is a much more isolated experience. Theyre not having a real-time conversation
38、with someone, Mary Fristad, psychologist at The Ohio State University, told NPR.可知然而，女孩们只是简单地输入和浏览帖子，这是一种更加孤立的体验。俄亥俄 州立大学的心理学家 Mary Fristad 在接受美国国家公共电台采访时表示：“他们并没有和某人进行实时对 话。”由此可知，在网上，女孩比男孩更容易感到孤立是因为女孩与人的实时互动较少。故选 A。 【6 题详解】 词义猜测题。 根据下文 Girls face more pressure about their appearance, which could be
39、 exacerbated by social media 可知女孩们在外貌方面面临更多压力，社交媒体可能会加剧这种压力。故可推知在网络羞辱方面，女孩也 比男孩更容易受到伤害。故划线单词意思为“有可能面临某事的危险”。故选 D。 【7 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Its so easy to forget the importance of real connections when we have hundreds of people that were trying to impress at our fingertips, she told the Guardian. And sh
40、e hopes that others look up from their phones and focus more on the world around them.可知她在接受卫报采访时表示：“当我们试图用指 尖去打动数百人的时候，很容易忘记现实联系的重要性。”她希望其他人“放下手机，更多关注身边的世 界”。由此可知，McLaughlin 建议主张女孩子们需要多走进真实的世界，面对面的和人打交道。故选 B。 【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用 refer to, be called或 thats to sa
41、y, such as 等。 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后 果。 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要 关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的 位置，以便于判断，然后用所找
42、的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比 较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。 如第三小题，根据下文 Girls face more pressure about their appearance, which could be exacerbated by social media 可知女孩们在外貌方面面临更多压力，社交媒体可能会加剧这种压力。故可推知在网络羞辱方面， 女孩也比男孩更容易受到伤害。故划线单词意思为“有可能面临某事的危险”。故选 D。 C Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the wate
43、r and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planets ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet carbon. Carbon is everywhere and understand
44、ing the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢 盐
45、) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of
46、 years. As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the ri
47、ver. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming. Earths climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemis
48、try and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream. 8. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from? A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks. C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas. 9. Why is human engineering mentione
49、d in Paragraph 3? A. To show how important to life carbon is. B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams. C. To show how a natural process is interrupted. D. To explain how humans fight global warming. 10. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Wed better move upstream to live. B. We should protect plants along rivers. C. Wed better seek more help from plants. D. We should be cautious about river management. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What Humans D
