What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports.
● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.
1. Where is this text probably taken from
A. An academic course guide. B. A campus job fair poster.
C. A graduate application form. D. An athletic team schedule.
2. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term
A. 3.3. B. 3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0.
3. What would be a result if you get one F in college
A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid.
C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification in sports.
B
I often wake up to my alarm after a short night and step out of bed to a day I’ve fought through countless times. I rush my morning routine and run to my car. My radio switches to my favorite song, but I have to listen to an audible (可听的) book for an assignment due tomorrow.
When I get to school, I start with Spanish, my hardest class. Despite being around all year, I have no clue what’s going on. I then walk to my English class, in which I was stuck in the language rules. The assignments take much energy that my perfectionist nature is unable to take on in school, so I save them for later, most probably late at night.
This is my reality as a student with dyslexia, a learning disorder in reading and spelling: assignments that take three times as long as they’re meant to, late nights and early mornings to even slightly keep up with my classes.
I was told that Advanced Placement U. S. History would be my hardest class. But here, I am in my element. Despite being three assignments behind, I’m actively engaged. Yes, my passion for history heightens my focus, but my teacher’s willingness to work with me is what allows me to fly high.
Teachers need to offer alternative structures that make learning more accessible. I’ve had teachers who teach lecture-based classes where students are expected to take notes and listen. As a student with dyslexia, this doesn’t work. A fix for that is as simple as providing alternative resources: a slide show students can go back to after class, or perhaps even an activity that further plays with the concepts.
Now, many schools are shifting to approaches that meet the needs of all kids. However, advocacy work can still be done to support students with dyslexia. If school systems are willing to provide support and education by creating an accessible class structure from the start, students won’t be stuck into academic tracks that don’t push them to their full potential.
4. Why does the author have to do his homework late at night
A. He is assigned extra homework. B. He fails to manage his spare time.
C. He needs time to do it well enough. D. He dislikes tasks related to languages.
5. What does the underlined part “in my element” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Burning the midnight oil. B. Biting off more than I can chew.
C. Feeling like a fish in water. D. Having butterflies in my stomach.
6. What does the author think of lecture-based classes
A. Satisfying. B. Inspiring. C. Rewarding. D. Demanding.
7. What does the author advise schools to do for students
A. Offer classes with alternatives. B. Ask educational experts to give lectures.
C. Advocate out-of-class activities. D. Get teachers trained in special education.
C
During a judging period for a recent short story contest, I started thinking a lot about dialogue tags. Because in many submissions characters didn’t “say” a thing. They shouted, they inquired, they assumed. Some characters screamed while others murmured. But no one “said” anything. And I started wondering why.
The more I thought about it, the more I understood the temptation. We’re always encouraged to use strong, actionable verbs in our prose. Why walk when you can skip or wander Why cry when you can sob or weep Why wouldn’t we reach for exciting verbs instead of dull “said” Why couldn’t each verb be a tiny sparkling gem in its own right The problem, I think, is that every jewel needs a setting to become something more than the sum of its parts. Without something to provide structure, a collection of the world’s most glorious diamonds would still only amount to a heap of rocks.
Dialogue is your diamond, friends. When we read your work, your dialogue should be so lifelike that our brains “hear” each line instead of merely reading it. We don’t need to be told a character is shouting — we can sense it in the way they spit out words, clench fists, or storm from the room. What’s more, readers may not initially imagine a particular line being “sobbed.” When we reach the end of a sentence and find out our leading lady has actually sobbed instead of whispered, it pulls us right out of the story. We pause. We reread the line. We adjust our understanding and begin again. But that wonderful momentum when we’re fully immersed in the scene, holding our breath to find out what our heroine says next, is lost.
Creating a successful work of fiction is about giving the reader all the materials they need to build your fictional world in their mind. Readers need believable dialogue. And if you’ve created dynamic characters who speak words we can really hear, you will never need to tell us how something was said.
8. What do we know from the first two paragraphs
A. The word “said” is overused in our stories.
B. The use of exciting verbs makes characters alive.
C. Varieties of verbs are preferred by judges at contests.
D. Strong verbs are considered to be an eye-catcher.
9. According to the author, ______ contributes most to a good story.
A. a talkative character B. a vivid conversation
C a collection of dialogue tags D. a wild imagination
10. Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A. Creative dialogue tags help keep readers immersed in reading.
B. What was said should be prioritised over how it was said.
C. Readers may better understand a scene after rereading the line.
D. The more materials a work of fiction contains, the more successful it is.
11. What argumentative methods are used in this article
① Using examples ② Justifying an assumption
③ Comparing and contrasting ④ Appealing to readers’ emotions
A. ①② B. ②④ C. ③④ D. ①③
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science Or public trust
The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing. ”But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.
The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate (分配) future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives. ”
Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift.
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
12. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.
A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly
B. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken
C. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast
D. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard
13. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time
A. Gay’s correction and retraction of papers. B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory.
C. High-profile scholars’ tremendous output. D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.
14. The underlined word “counterincentives” in para. 5 probably means ________.
A. measures to increase quantities of output B. discouragements of high quality papers
C. rewards for leading universities’ research D. contradictory motives for future funding
15. Which of the following is best title of the passage
A. WEF Coincides with Silicon Valley B. Collapse of Public Trust
C. Dilemma between Quantity and Quality D. Trouble in the Fast Lane

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。
When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. ____16____. For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录).
Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. ____17____. Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them.
Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states.
____18____. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “____19____,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever.
“Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. ____20____.
A. Those memories are golden
B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable
C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving
D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws
E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun
F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents
G. There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests

Stephanie, a freshman at East Peoria High School, had just finished her second day of classes, filled with excitement. Eager to enjoy the warm afternoon, she decided to take her bicycle out for a ride. The wind rushed past her, refreshing her spirit as she sped down a hill. However, in a cruel twist of fate, disaster struck. She suddenly lost control of her bike. The world around her seemed to slow down as she felt the bike slam into the ground. In a horrifying moment, she realized that one of the bike’s handle grips (车把) was missing, which left a sharp, exposed metal pipe that pierced her right leg, severed her artery (动脉) and flooded her body with intense pain.
Panic set in as she lay on the ground, her mind racing. A severed artery can cause rapid blood loss, leading to unconsciousness and death within minutes. Stephanie felt herself slipping away, believing she wouldn’t survive.
But in the midst of her anguish, help was on the way.
Kupris, who had been working on a woodworking project nearby, heard the chaos, dropped his tools and rushed outside. His heart raced as he dashed along a block, driven by a desperate desire to assist. Following a trail of blood that painted a distinct contrast against the pavement, he felt a surge of fear and concern. When he finally reached the scene, the sight that came into view was terribly horrible. There lay Stephanie on the ground, her face pale and her body twisted in pain, severely injured.
“The whole thing looked impossible, couldn’t be real,” Kupris recalled later, still shaking with fright. He saw a severe wound on her upper leg. Blood was pouring out of the cut. He called her but there was still no response. Panic surged through him as he realized he needed to act quickly — every second counted.
注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“What should I do ” echoed in Kupris’s head.

【答案】
My First Experience in Career
Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.
My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.
This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.
47.
【答案】 “What should I do ” echoed in Kupris’s head. He quickly took off his shirt and tied it tightly around Stephanie’s leg above the wound, trying to slow down the blood loss as much as possible. He knew that he had to keep her conscious, so he gently patted her face and talked to her constantly, though he was not sure if she could hear him. Then he called 911, clearly stating their location and Stephanie’s condition. While waiting for the ambulance, he stayed by her side, constantly checking her pulse and trying to comfort her.
Luckily, Stephanie opened her eyes. She was still in great pain but felt a little relieved seeing Kupris beside her. Kupris told her that the ambulance was on its way and that she would be okay. Stephanie managed to whisper a thank-you. When the ambulance arrived, Kupris helped the paramedics load her onto the stretcher. At the hospital, Stephanie underwent immediate surgery. Thanks to Kupris’s quick actions, she survived. After that, Stephanie often visited Kupris to express her gratitude for saving her life.
