It shows the schedule of all classes offered in a particular term, along with class enrollment information and course details.‎ The Class Roster is updated frequently.‎ To plan your classes over your four years at Cornell, use the Courses of Study. It represents Cornell’s full catalog of courses and is published annually. It provides information on Cornell degree programs, requirements, policies and procedures.‎ If you need help, call 607-255-5004 for an appointment with an advising dean. Or contact a career counselor in the Arts & Sciences Career Development Center at 607-255-4166 to talk about your interests and how they can translate into a major and a future career.‎ A New Curriculum On October 30, 2018, the College of Arts & Sciences faculty（教员）approved a new undergraduate curriculum to be carried out over the next two to three years. The new curriculum focuses on the theme of exploration and reaffirms the college’s commitment to a liberal arts and sciences education. Students who have questions about the new curriculum can view the approved proposal on the Course Designer app of Cornell.‎ Innovative Learning If you’re one of the 3,000 students across the university taking biology or physics at the College, you may be part of an innovative（创新的）classroom project that uses active learning, a new model that is proving to be the quickest path to expert-level mastery.‎ Your education at Cornell will extend far beyond the classroom. You can join a faculty member’s research team on campus, conduct field study research in different states or spend a semester with Cornell in Washington D C. You could study abroad in one of more than 85 countries or develop your own research project through independent study. Give yourself the freedom to explore.‎ ‎21. If you want to plan your courses over the long run, you can use the ______.‎ A. Class Roster B. Courses of Study C. Course Designer D. Career Center ‎22. For students involved in an innovative classroom project, they ______.‎ A. may study a new model B. are on the quickest way to be experts C. will get more freedom during research project D. have advantages of studying outside the classroom ‎23. The article is probably taken from ______.‎ A. a college website B. a science report ‎ C. a travel magazine D. an academic journal B ‎ Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this ‎ predetermined box.”‎ ‎ After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.‎ ‎ Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.‎ ‎ “I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”‎ ‎ Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”‎ When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”‎ ‎24. From the passage, we can learn that ______.‎ ‎ A. Deka was adopted by a refugee family.‎ B. Deka became a professor after graduation. ‎ ‎ C. Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard.‎ D. Deka spent a lot of time going to parties.‎ ‎25. Deka realized the importance of education ______.‎ ‎ A. after her chemistry class B. from her mother’s experience ‎ C. by reading books in the library D. through working at the institute ‎26. According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.‎ ‎ A. patient B. ambitious ‎ C. confident D. generous ‎27. What does the story intend to tell us?‎ ‎ A. Life is not all roses. B. Practice makes perfect.‎ C. Well begun is half done. D. Hard work leads to success.‎ C The worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia – and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years. ‎ What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anything we’ve seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it’s taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are already vulnerable (脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.‎ We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides (杀虫剂). FAO’s “Locust Watch” service explains that “although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”‎ The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.‎ But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting season begins. If left unchecked – and with expected additional rains – locust numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.‎ We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, we need to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked ‎ to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.‎ ‎28. What is implied in paragraph 2?‎ A. People in East Africa are going through floods.‎ B. The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.‎ C. People in East Africa are suffering drought.‎ D. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure. ‎ ‎29. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.‎ B. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.‎ C. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.‎ D. It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.‎ ‎30. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To introduce and assess. B. To argue and discuss.‎ C. To analyse and compare. D. To inform and call for.‎ ‎31. Where does the text probably come from?‎ A. A news report. B. A health magazine. C. A chemistry paper. D. A guidebook.‎ D Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.‎ Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.‎ The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.‎ The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure,‎ ‎ air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.‎ The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.‎ The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.‎ ‎32. Why was the system developed?‎ A. To show the power of lightning. B. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.‎ C. To protect people from lightning. D. To keep track of lightning deaths.‎ ‎33. What is special about the system?‎ A. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.‎ B. It used an effective method of collecting data.‎ C. It was based on a number of samples worldwide. ‎ D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.‎ ‎34. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?‎ A. Generate electricity with lightning. B. Direct energy from lightning. ‎ C. Monitor lightning activity. D. Prevent the occurrence of lightning.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. A Theory of Employing Lightning B. A Model of Creating Lightning C. A System of Controlling Lightning D. A Method of Forecasting Lightning 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。‎ Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. 36 There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is ‎ one of the motive forces to the development of society. ‎ ‎ 37 Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity. ‎ Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. 38 The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. 39 ‎ Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life. ‎ Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract. 40 ‎ A. Modern society demands high-quality talents. ‎ B. Otherwise, you will be defeated. ‎ C. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life. ‎ D. There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields. ‎ E. Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society. ‎ F. We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.‎ G. In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live. ‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分50分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Colorado pair brings new meaning to the word “determination”. When one couldn’t walk and the other couldn’t see, they 41 up to share their love of the great outdoors.‎ Melanie Knecht has to use a wheelchair to get around due to born spina bifida (脊柱裂).

From that point on, she gives him oral directions to lead the way.‎ Hahn said, “It made me so happy to help someone experience what I’ve been able to experience my whole life. The best part is being able to make her smile—that gives me 50 .”‎ In addition to this sense of purpose, the two share an understanding of how 51 it can be asking able-bodied or sighted people for assistance in everyday life. They get immeasurable 52 from being able to do this on their own.‎ While the two accept that others 53 what they’ve been able to do, they’re not looking for 54 —they just want others to encourage solutions for their friends with disabilities. Don’t 55 them because you think they won’t be able to do something.‎ ‎41.A rose B. teamed C. made D. ended ‎42. A. spread B. cured C. developed D. diagnosed ‎43.

She stared out the window at the Preston, Idaho, cornfields.‎ Alexis, a high school student, let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Still, she was terrified when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them, just a few feet off the road. "Dad, there's a deer, there!" Alexis said, rolling down the window for a better look. It was a three-point buck(雄鹿) --a male deer with sharp, three-pronged antlers (角) on each side of its head．‎ ‎       As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the buck's head was bent toward the ground．Then she heard a scream. A few seconds later, she saw an arm fly up near the buck's head．Alexis realized the buck was attacking a woman. Sue Panter, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The buck had come out from the tall corn and began following her. Having lived in rural Idaho for years, Sue knew that most bucks got frightened by humans. But this buck edged closer, even when she threw at it with a handful of gravels(石子).‎ ‎       Sue went to pick up a log to use for self-defense, and the buck charged．It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel the horns punctured(刺穿) her leg and blood flowed down her leg．Within seconds, the buck had pushed her off the road and into the cornfield.‎ ‎      When Alexis and her father pulled up, the buck was rolling Sue like a rag doll．Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the 104 pound teenager jumped quickly out of the car and down the slope （斜坡）toward the buck. She was kicking and hitting it to get its attention. Then Michael, her father, who had followed his daughter, wrestled the buck away from the women by holding the antlers.‎ Paragraph1: Alexis helped Sue up the slope. ___________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2: Then she heard her father yell. ___________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力（每题1.5，满分30）‎ ‎1-5 ABACA 6-10 CCABB 11-15 CBACB 16-20ABCCA 阅读 （每题2.5，满分50）‎ ‎21-23 BDA 24-27 CBCD 28-31 BCDA 32-35 CABD ‎ ‎36-40 FGDBC 完形 （每题1分，满分15）‎ ‎41-55 BCDAC BBADD BDACC 语填 （每题1.5，满分15）‎ ‎56.

I'm delighted to know you're coming to China to learn Chinese paintings, hoping to take a short course in my city.‎ An art school, which is located in the center of the city, is the best choice for you. As I've learned, you'll finish studying Chinese ink landscape painting in six weeks. What's more, you can both eat and live in the school while studying here. Therefore, you needn't worry about your accommodation. In addition, the school charges a relatively modest fee.‎ If you have any other questions, please write to me as soon as possible.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 读后续写 Alevis helped Sue up the slope. With all her strength, she immediately seated her into their car, and then applied a clean towel from her bag to Sue's right leg tightly, which would help to stop its bleeding. Sue was covered with wounds from head to toe and she was in rags（衣衫褴褛) because of the severe attacks. Apparently Sue was too shocked by the accident to let out a word. Alexis talked softly to comfort the terrified woman and thought about how to help her father ‎ Then she heard her father yell. Michael had been knocked to the ground, his right leg speared ‎（刺）by the buck. Alexis grabbed a hammer from the car and ran to where Michael lay on his back in the dirt. She beat the bucks head and neck, but the blows didn't work. Standing over her father, Alexis could see that he was struggling to breathe. Turning the hammer around, Alexis squeezed her eyes shut and hit the buck's neck. When she opened her eyes, the buck was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the hospital.‎
