Alongside peers(同辈)from around the world, youll be introduced to college life as you attend classes, live on campus, and enjoy fun outings and activities. Learning without limits Biology, physics, law, writing and philosophy these are just a few of the 30-plus courses you can choose from in each session. In our noncredit classes, we set aside grades so that you can fully commit to your growth as a well-rounded student. Class sizes typically range from 14 to 18 students to encourage interactive learning. Living at Harvard When you attend the Pre-College Program, youll live in a historic undergraduate house, near Harvard Square. You will be with your fellow Pre-College students, resident directors, and proctors who provide support. Youll also enjoy meals in one of Harvards dining halls, which are a short walk from Harvard Yard and provide many options for a variety of dietary needs. Thriving outside the classroom The summer Pre-College Program offers many mentally challenging co-curricular(补充课程的)activities beyond the classroom. With faculty and Harvard-affiliated experts, you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops on topics like the psychology of color-blindness, classic literature from around the world and science of happiness. From our Cambridge scavenger hunt to a trip to the Sand Sculpting Festival at Americas first public beach, theres no shortage of fun activities in the Pre-College Program. 21.

It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the student must learn a new skill. Thats a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates (模仿), thats learning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a source of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching it again if its getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”.Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isnt just imitation. It is art. (326 words)24. What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. A clear instruction. B. A high risk.C. A difficult requirement. D. A useful purpose.25. What do we know about honeybees dance?A. Presenting. B. Learning. C. Imitating. D. Teaching.26. What can we infer about animals that can teach?A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.B. Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.C. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.27. Why does the author use Dollys example?A. To prove smoking can affect other animals.B. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.C. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.D. To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.CWhen I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. Shed watch me coming down her street, and by the time Id biked up to her doorstep, thered be a cold drink waiting. Id sit and drink while she talkedMrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning, shed say. The first time she said that，soda(汽水) went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive.

After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地)I finally quit delivering newspapers and didnt see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund- raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashedpotatoes and looking happy. Four years before, shed had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how Im doing.

Care about one anotherDA build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, its an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since its all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 55 sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container perhaps just a drinking cup to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catchers productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up and out the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheets center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and wont have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A. Its delicate. B. Its expensive. C. Its complex. D. Its portable33.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The tube B. The still C. The hole D.

Cover the hole with the plastic sheet35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .A. the plastic tube B. outside the holeC. the open air D. beneath the sheet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。Thousands of college students have part-time jobs and nobody wants to become a slave to graduation debt. 36 If you are one of those people, here are some small business ideas for you to try out.TutoringMake use of your strong understanding of a specific subject and become a tutor. 37 All you need to do is log in, sign up, and specify the subjects youre good at, and the employer will match you with students.
