A
Chinese Dual Language Immersion Program (CDLIP)
What is Dual Language Immersion?
Dual language immersion provides academic instruction in two languages. The Pasadena Unified School District currently offers a Chinese-English immersion program.
Why Choose the CDLIP?
Learning a second language awakens curiosity and respect for other nations and their cultures. Chinese is not only a rich language with a long literary tradition, but it has also emerged as an influential worldwide language. Our CDLIP promotes cross- cultural sensitivity, so that students can learn about the globalized world. For native Chinese speakers, our program ensures full development and mastery of English language arts while helping them become more fluent in their mother tongue.
Our Classrooms
The CDLIP serves primary school students, from kindergarten through second grade. Grades 3, 4 and 5 will be added in September of 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The program is currently located at Luther Burbank Primary School. On any given day, you might find a classroom full of kindergarteners counting and sorting coins, first graders singing "The More We Get Together”, or second graders describing physics experiments-all in Chinese!
How Does the Program Work?
CDLIP classrooms combine native and non-native speakers so that all students may succeed in both Chinese and English. We apply a Two-Way 90:10 Model. In kindergarten, 90% of the day's instruction is in Chinese and 10% is devoted to improving English oral language and the ability to read and write. As children progress through grade levels, the percentage of English instruction gradually increases, finally achieving a 50:50 split by fifth grade.
To Register Your Child
Language learning is a long-term process, so parents are asked to register their children for the full six years.
● Register online at www.pusd.us/oe between June 13 and 23.
● The program is free, supported by the Pasadena Unified School District.
● For kindergarten, no knowledge of Chinese is necessary. (Some knowledge of Chinese is expected for students entering grades 1-3.)
● Applications will be accepted after the deadline if spaces are still available.
● If you would like assistance completing your application, please contact Ms. Netty Liat Burbank Primary School (626) 396-5760 or visit PUSD Welcome Center.

21．After attending the CDLIP, students will be able to ________.
A. master Chinese arts B. understand world history
C. hand down traditional literature D. develop cross-cultural awareness
22．What can you find in CDLIP classes?
A. Kindergarteners spending more time practicing reading.
B. Students learning through songs and activities.
C. Higher-grade students using mostly Chinese.
D. Students focusing on science vocabulary.
23．What can we learn about the registration?
A. Parents need to pay the program fee.
B. Students must be registered every year.
C. Spaces are usually available after the deadline.
D. PUSD Welcome Center offers help with registration.

B
Standing in my office 25 years ago was an unknown young astronomer with a half-smile on her face. She had come up with an impossible request that my team modify (修改) our thoroughly tested software to make one of our most important scientific instruments do something it had never been designed for, and risk breaking it. All to carry out an experiment that was basically a waste of time and couldn’t be done---to prove that a massive black hole lay at the center of our Milky Way.
My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but firm determination. Andrea Ghez, one of three winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, impressed me with her work on providing solid evidence of a supermassive black hole with the mass of four million suns living at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
That determination and the willingness to take calculated risks has always characterized Andrea. For 25 years she has focused almost completely on Sagittarius (人马座) A *—the name of our own local supermassive black hole. It is remarkable that an entire field of study has grown up in the quarter century, of searching for and finding evidence of these monsters thought to lie at the heart of every large galaxy.
Andrea did her work at the W. M. Keck Observatory’s twin telescopes on Maunakea, Hawaii, in the calm and clear air almost 14000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. She started using the very first instrument fixed on Keck Observatory’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRC), now gracing the lobby at our headquarters.
Andrea is fond of pointing out that one of the reasons for her success has been this tight and rapid loop (循环) between the needs of the astronomers and the engineers who respond to the challenge.
This is my friend and longtime colleague, the one who refused to take “no” for an answer: Andrea Ghez, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics.

24．Which words best describe Andrea Ghez?
A. Determined and creative. B. Confident and adaptable.
C. Brave and kind. D. Cooperative and generous.
25．Why did the author gradually change the attitude of Andrea?
A. Because of Andrea’s determination.
B. Because of Andrea’s final success.
C. Because Andrea provided an experimental evidence.
D. Because Andrea modified their tested software.
26．What is the passage mainly about?
A. The Noble Prize for physics. B. Friendship between colleagues.
C. How Andrea won the Nobel. D. What makes Andrea different.
27．From which is the text probably taken?
A. A science research paper. B. A science feature story
C. A science fiction. D. A science report.

C
As a young child, I was painfully shy. I'd watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach. Eventually, my mother would come to the rescue. She'd ask the other kids if I could play, too. Today, I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in small groups, but I still tend to avoid situations in which I'm expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers.
There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do.
A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us, or that they may not enjoy our company, is largely unfounded.
Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what our conversation partners really think of us. In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion（认知错觉）they call “the liking gap”： our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.
The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations: strangers getting acquainted in the research laboratory, first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months, and community members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops. In each circumstance, people consistently underestimated how much others liked them. For much of the academic year, as dormitory mates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships, the liking gap persisted.
The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion: we are often more severe with ourselves than with others, and our inner critic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us. Not knowing what our conversation partners really think of us，we use our own thoughts as a proxy（代理人）. This is a mistake, because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality.

28．Why does the author mention his childhood experience?
A. To show how his character changed.
B. To explain what he was like when he was young.
C. To show an example of why people are shy of communication.
D. To emphasize the important role of a mother in one's childhood.
29．What does the underlined word “unfounded” probably mean?
A. Careless. B. Baseless C. Selfless.. D. Meaningless.
30．What do we know about the liking gap from the text?
A. It indicates we are pessimistic..
B. It result others negative evaluation about us.
C. It disappears when strangers get to know each other.
D. It is partly attributed to our being hard on ourselves.
31．Which of the following is the best title for this text?
A. People Like You More than You Know
B. How to Get Along Well with Strangers
C. The Way to Know What Others Think of Us
D. Having Conversations with Strangers Benefits Us

D
Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones,
and they took over the functions of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small part of the energy of all the things they replace—although they do—but because they represent a different approach to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on understanding the underlying problem, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater, some people have focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function—getting where we want when we want—and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our personal cars entirely?
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking different.

32．What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?
A. Perfecting individual devices. B. Combining possible functions.
C. Adopting a minimalist design. D. Reducing the energy consumption.
33．According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency?
A. Using recyclable materials. B. Revolutionizing technologies.
C. Figuring out various solutions. D. Concentrating on the essential needs.
34．What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?
A. Out-of-date. B. Ineffective.
C. Adequate. D. Successful.
35．What can we learn from the passage?
A. Think out of the box. B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be economical with energy. D. Step out of the comfort zone.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的七个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。
Healthy See, Healthy Do
Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy. But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 36
The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 37 A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.
38 It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. "We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption," says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, "Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products."
Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city's crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 39
Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.
Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines. 40 The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers' eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.

A．These foods give people more energy.
B．They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.
C．And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.
D．The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.
E．These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.
F．They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.
G．And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change
customer behavior.

make you do something you’re not comfortable with. I’m proud of you for the choice you made.”
This was the exact 54 of what I expected him to say.

The biggest issue was the permafrost（冻结带）-frozen earth. In the summer， usually melting at a fast speed, the top layer of the permafrost turns to mud, 59 (make) the ground unstable. A 60 (various) of solutions were used to get around this. In some cases, railway bridges were built. In other cases, engineers installed pipes under the ground to keep it frozen during the summer.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily White came to the world 17 years ago, with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium（礼堂）. It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town's people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens-her music teacher-to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Emily's body and said, “Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral（合唱的）room. Hurt and upset，she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, “Emily, you're next.”Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn't sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted.By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Emily hurried to school and anxiously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day for the performance came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear teachers and fellow students;
It’s my great honor to stand here, delivering a speech concerning the worrying situation of nearsightedness among Chinese students.
Nowadays in China, huge numbers of students are near-sighted, college students included. Worse still, the tendency is still on the rise. So, it is high time we took immediate and proper measures right now. Here, I do appeal to you all to stick to the practice of eye exercises at least twice a day. Besides, don’t read in an environment where it is too dim or too bright. As you know, too much screen time contributes a lot to poor eyesight, so you’d better stay away from digital devices as well. Last but not least, taking nutrition benefiting your eyesight is of equal importance. Take good care of the window of your heart, and you’re bound to enjoy a bright future.
That’s all! Thanks for all your attention!
读后续写：
Emily hurried to school and anxiously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. The fear of being rejected came to strike again. “Jeff Green, Rose Black…” she murmured as her eyes moved upward. “Wow!” Emily abruptly covered her wide-opened mouth, feeling as if her heart would jump out. There, at the top of the list was her name posted. The leading singer! However, whispers around her pulled her back to the earth. Just then, she felt a pat on the shoulder. It was Mr. Butler. “We selected you for our faith in your abilities and voice.” inspired, Emily worked even harder for the final performance.
Finally, the day for the performance came. Emily’s eyes danced with excitement as she stepped on to the stage. Standing still, she heard noises among the crowd. Obviously not cheers! Emily felt nervous again and even her legs began trembling. At that moment, her eyes parked on Mr. Butler at the corner. He nodded and exchanged a determined glance with her, which timely put her heart back in place. With the music rising, Emily began her singing. Her sweet voice poured and the audience fell into a sea of cheers. Emily White in tears, with so many birth problems in her body, became the shiniest star!
