21、   The U.S. is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation (革新), but American universities-where new ideas often spread-have reason to look over their shoulders.

That's especially true for technologies like 5G phone networks and artificial intelligence. In President Donald Trump's opinion, they're exactly the fields where the U.S. has to lead - and also the ones where Asia, especially China, is catching up. Universities from China get more patents than their U.S. peers in wireless communications, according to research firm GreyB Services. In AI, 17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list, says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.

There's a special place for universities in the development of science. Universities educate future scientists and can be incubators (孵化器) for pie-in-the-sky ideas-some of which turn out to be game-changers. The list ranges from Google's search engine to DNA technology that's behind a whole industry of gene-manipulating (基因编辑) treatments.

However, government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade, meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy, leading to the cost increase for universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts into their scientific research.

“If you look at the federal dollars, they've not really changed considerably,” says Stephen Susalka, head of AUTM, a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities. “Other countries are catching up. We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved.”

【1】What does the underlined phrase “look over their shoulders” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Watch out B.Take off

C.Stand up D.Hide away

【2】The author mentions 5G phone networks in Paragraph 2 to show.

A.Chinese universities have obtained more patents than other countries

B.the Chinese government provides aids to Chinese universities

C.wireless communications are changed dramatically these years

D.U.S. universities may lose their lead in some high-tech fields

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.

B.Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.

C.Universities play an important role in science development.

D.Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.

【4】What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S universities?

A.Worried. B.Disapproving.

C.Positive. D.Unconcerned.

22、Born on the 24th of June, 1987, Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini is a world-famous professional football player who played for Barcelona FC and is also the captain of the Argentine National Team. Messi is often believed to be one of the best footballers playing today and he won the 2022 World Cup title with Argentina last year.

Messi was not born in a well-off family. His father was a worker in a steel factory and his mother worked part time as a cleaner. Messi had been fascinated by the sport at a very early age and joined his first club at the age of five. Unfortunately, at the age of eleven, Messi was diagnosed with having a deficiency of growth hormones（生长激素缺乏症）and his treatment to overcome the situation would require about $900 a month. While many local clubs and teams had shown a lot of interest in Messi, nobody was willing to shell out the expenses for his treatment.

However, this young boy had already managed to raise a number of eyebrows with his perfect skills and his immense talent with the ball. His strength and determination shone through on the field and he was noticed by the sporting director of Barcelona FC,   who offered him a contract on a paper napkin to join the club. He also assured him that if he moved to Spain in order to pursue a football career, the club would pay for all his medical expenses. Messi accepted the contract and moved on to Spain. Ever since that incident, Messi has gained a lot of love from football fans all over the world.

Even after becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport, Messi has not forgotten the difficult times. Consequently, in 2007,he established the Leo Messi Foundation which is to provide healthcare and also education to poor and vulnerable（脆弱的）children. Messi is surely a very inspirational figure who has made it big on the basis of his determination and skill and has combatted a difficult past to come out on top.

【1】What was the medical condition that Messi had 6 years after joining his first club?

A．A deficiency of calcium.

B．A deficiency of vitamin.

C．A deficiency of blood cells.

D．A deficiency of growth hormones.

【2】What does the phrase “shell out” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．protect against.

B．pay for.

C．look into.

D．argue for.

【3】Which of the following words best describe Messi?

A．Determined and grateful.

23、It is never easy to cope with bullying, and doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying. 【1】 But keep in mind that there is only one goal — to stop the situation from worsening.

Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. 【2】 Sometimes, all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.

Asking the bully to stop is sometimes a good way to deal with them. Bullies tend to assume that we will never speak up to them. When we do speak up for ourselves, it takes them by surprise. 【3】 It can make them reconsider their actions.

【4】 When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you. They think of it as a game. When they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego. But if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they know you are not an easy one to crack.

Plus, some of us are born comedians, who can turn almost anything into a joke. If you are one of these people, try to take advantage of your gift to turn the situation the bully has created into a joke or just say something funny. This will break the bully’s confidence and they will know that you are strong and sure about who you are. 【5】

A．This will make them back off.

B．Bullying comes in different forms.

C．There is no simple solution to the problem.

D．Another effective measure is to ignore them.

E．You can always shift focus to the bystanders.

F．Tell them to stop in a firm and confident voice.

G．We’re not asking you to make a huge circle of friends.

24、Geographers are interested in the spatial patterns observed on earth. Bridging the natural and social sciences, Geography is the interdisciplinary study of environments and how people interact with the environment. It is important to study geography because many of the world's problems require understanding the interdependence between human activities and the environment. Geography is therefore a beneficial major for students because its theories and methods provide them with analytical skills relevant to occupations focused on solving social and environmental problems. The Department of Geography offers eight majors that help students tailor their focus of study.

The Geography—Globalization and Development major will provide students with a sophisticated understanding of contemporary global issues and a geographical framework for analyzing key issues involved in national and international development. Reflecting the discipline of geography as a whole, this major emphasizes an integrated approach to studying the relationship of global change to individual and community well-being by combining the benefits of area studies with theoretical and topical investigations in the curriculum.

Our department is committed to excellence in both teaching and advising. Several of our faculty members have received teaching awards, and we are known across campus for the quality of our advising. As a geography major, you will meet one-on-one with your faculty advisor every semester during advising week, and you are always welcome to talk with your advisor at any time throughout the semester whenever questions may arise. In addition to advising our students about their academic programs, we provide timely information about internships, nationally competitive awards, and other opportunities as they arise. Many of our students complete internships and several of our students over the last few years have received nationally competitive awards.
