starting college,most students enjoy a weeks stay on campus before classes actually begin.What should youdo with that time?Below are several tips to ease（使熟悉）yourself into college life.Participating in Campus Welcome ActivitiesMost universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins,including freshmen orientations（迎Ff）,campus picnics,and entertainments like concerts.Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture:What dostudents do for fun?What are their favorite classes?What is the history of your university?It can help you observe campuslife outside the classroom.Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you wont have to look for themwhile still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost inthe first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If youre worried abouttaking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run wont hurt.That way,you will avoid potential timedelays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you dohave a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so its agreat idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to getto those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.36.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can.A.learn about campus cultureB.get their course scheduleC.have a physical examinationD.take an entrance test37.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings?A.To see how many facilities they can use.B.To avoid being late for future classes.C.To help those getting lost on campus.D.To practice running on their way to class.38.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine?A.On the first day of their classes.B.Before the orientation week.C.After their first-day classes.D.During the orientation week.39.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?A.Take physical exercise before class.B.Leave their phones powered off.C.Take early classes every day.D.Keep to the sleep schedule.40.What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A.To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B.To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C.To help freshmen organize campus activities.D.To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its sourcethat I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poemspublished.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978,I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshmen composition.1spent afternoons taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and thatwas all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,1 decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M.The first day Ishut it off because 1 had placed it within arms reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one outin the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morningwriting began.Since that first morning in 1978,1 have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excusesfor not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decidedto write a novel,I divided my two hours:the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least twopages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun,was finished.If I had waited to have the time,1 would still bewaiting to write my novel.What 1 got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial senseof urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create,and stealingit from yourself if its the only way.41.What motivated the author to start her writing career?A.Her strong wish to share.B.Her keen interest in writing.C.Her urgent need to make a living.D.Her passionate desire for fame.42.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing?A.She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B.She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C.She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D.She was unsure about her writing skills.43.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?A.In case the clock in her room broke down.B.In case she failed to hear the ringing.C.To force herself out of bed.D.To wake up her family.44.How did the author manage to finish her novel?A.By sticking to writing every morning.B.By writing when her mind was most active.C.By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D.By reducing her teaching hours at school.45.What can we learn from the authors success in her writing career?A.It is never too late to change your job.B.Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C.A tight schedule is no excuse fbr lack of action.D.Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV,artificial intelligence（AI）has been described as so advanced that it isindistinguishable from humans.But what if were actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking andfeeling?Tech company UneeQ is heading for its digital humans,which appear lifelike on the screen not only in terms oflanguage,but also because of facial movements:raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but notquite.What lies beneath UneeQs digital humans?Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speechrecognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out aresponse.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a digital brainthat imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions felt and expressed*by its“digital people.Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings.Theyre humanlike intheir looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human,she says.MHuman qualities also involve how youthink,how you approach problems,and how you break them down;and that takes a lot of algorithmic（算 法）design.Designing fbr human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.She thencontinues,If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in waysthat humans just instinctively（直觉地）know how other humans react.Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors(彳 亍 业).Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they mightbe left behind,says Chetan Dube,UneeQs CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to createdigital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide.The biggest motivation for such platforms is topopularize AI,Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimisticabout where they are headed.As we develop more advanced Al technology,we would then have to use new ways ofcommunicating with that technology,0 she says.Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.46.According to Para.2,in what respect(s)do UneeQs digital humans1 resemble human beings?A.In the way they move around.B.In the way they act and react.C.In observation and analysis.D.In speech and facial expressions.47.Soul Machinesdigital brain1 is a technological breakthrough because it.A.learns to make proper emotional responsesB.tends to imitate human beingsone vividlyC.recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD.processes the natural language it hears48.In Mohan9s opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings?A.Calculating brain.B.Language skills.C.Instinctive judgements.D.Problem-solving ability.49.What makes many sectors employ digital humans?A.The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B.The urgency to promote e-commerce.C.The wish to spread digital technology.D.The need to upgrade the health care system.50.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?A.Its well planned.B.Its promising.C.Its uncertain.D.Its quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional andbeautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be the easy subject at school,insignificant to wider society,awaste of time and effort?Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can;art generates money andholds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying formusic,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a uniqueatmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of the
