21、A recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such as Columbia and New York University, for advanced degrees in subjects like art, film and even social work. Many of the students said they learned a lot. However, when they graduated, they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.

Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable answer. Education experts say the school is very wealthy, with large funds. The University, however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.

Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America, a public policy research center. He called master’s degrees “a scam” in a conversation. “Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,” he said.

Castillo is an actor in New York City. He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City. Was his MFA worth the cost? “I do think it was worth it. I don’t put a price tag on my education or my experience. I think it’s sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.” Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education, not because they want money or to be famous.

Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City. She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa. Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers. For school to be of value, students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning. “It’s just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”

【1】What’s the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?

A．They can’t take loans.

B．They can’t find any work.

C．They may be heavily in debt.

D．They may drop out of university.

【2】What does the underlined word “scam” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Way.

B．Trick.

C．Skill.

D．Game.

【3】What does Castillo think of his MFA?

A．He thinks highly of it.

B．It’s a waste of money.

C．He takes it for granted.

D．It brings him fame and money.

【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.

B．Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.

C．Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.

D．Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.

22、The products below exhibit the new ideas that pushed consumer tech forward during 2017. The list covers the width of our view, from transportation and televisions to parenting.

Best in Transportation; Bike Sharing

Bike sharing bust upon the US scene in 2008. But it took until 2017 to start attracting big investments. This is the year bike share programs freed themselves, and the year cycling began rolling toward the American mainstream. For most people, cycles mean cheaper rides and more flexibility; for cities, they mean fewer capital construction costs up front. This year, Chinese companies Mobike and OFO launched in Washington, DC, and Seattle, respectively. If cities can keep building bike lanes, the American revolution of transportation is well on its way.

Best Parenting Product: Veer Cruiser

Given how common it is to have two small kids of different ages, it’s surprisingly hard to find an easy-to-use vehicle for carrying them around. The Veer Cruiser is an endlessly adaptable stroller-wagon (四轮推车) that easily accommodates multiple babies. It has a locking handle for pushing or pulling the load. It’s strongly built with an aluminum chassis (铝制底盘) on large tires made for roads like grassy hills. If you take the kids out in one, just make sure you re-member to pack the snacks.

Best Home Entertainment Product: LG C7 OLED

When it comes to TVs, a lot of new words have come out in the last few years — terms like UHD, 4K, HDR. But the only word you need to know is OLED. This earns you incredibly bright and vivid colors that never appear washed out, as well as the deepest blacks your eyes have seen. The company’s C7 OLED is the best TV you can own. LG improved the brightness, and made blacks even hacker. The 55-Inch C7 is currently $1,700 over the holidays, a lot cheaper than last year, and worth every penny.

【1】When did biking start to appear in the American street in large amounts?

A．In 2008.

B．In 2017.

C．In 2021.

D．In 2022.

【2】Who would like to have a Veer Cruiser most probably?

A．Parents with two babies.

B．Families to go camping.

C．Families with some pupils.

D．Parents to have a holiday.

【3】What makes LG C7 OLED different from other TVs?

A．The sound.

B．The price.

C．The size.

D．The image.

23、Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.

Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.

Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them.  Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.

“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”

“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.’

【1】How many are there in Rashida’s family?

A．Seven B．Eight  C．Nine  D．Ten

【2】Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges?

A．To show they are better than their schools

B．To encourage them to get good education．

C．To show them what they are like

D．To get them to touch the advanced equipment there

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Rashida has become friends with her mentors

B．Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot．

C．Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability．

D．Rashida has had her new dream since the camp

【4】The best title of the passage is ___________．

A．Poor Girls in Ghana B．Girls’ Career Camp

C．Camfed Ghana  D．Students in Ghana Dream Big
