3 . Every year, thousands of K-12 students visit the University of Georgia (UGA) through the Experience UGA program. Hosting these students is made possible by the Experience UGA ambassadors (大使), a team of UGA students trained to support the program. They help create and support the field trips and introduce school children to college with interactive and educational visits that are grade-level specific. For example, every second grade group tours the Ramsey Student Center to learn about health-related topics, and all seventh graders explore UGArden to learn about nutrition and agriculture.

“Each year I realize the impact I’m making on students,” said Leslie Oroyemi, who is beginning her third year as an Experience UGA ambassador. “I love reaching younger populations and engaging with them. It’s nice to see them grow and discover different interests.”

This was the first year that Oroyemi has been an ambassador for second grade trips, and she said it has become her favorite. Her favorite part of the day is teaching second graders how easily germs (病菌) spread through a game of tag (捉人游戏) — those with “germs” have chalk on their hands and go around trying to touch and “infect” others. The kids then learn how important hand washing is to prevent the spread of germs.

Camille Holcomb is beginning her second year as an ambassador. She said working with different ages means connecting with them differently. The second graders are excited about everything, while the seventh graders are more reserved (保守的). Holcomb learned that connecting with the older students works best in between the activities — being personable and asking questions while walking around campus. Holcomb also learned that some friendly competition helps engage the more reserved students.

“Each ambassador is very fervent about giving back to the community and holds a special skill that contributes to creating a wonderful experience for students during each grade level trip,” said Aiyana Egins, coordinator of Experience UGA. “I look forward to seeing the impact they will have on students this year.”

1. What do the ambassadors do for K-12 students?

A．Convince them to join the UGA program.	B．Organize educational visits for them.
C．Show them around famous colleges.	D．Encourage them to apply to UGA.

2. What impressed Oroyemi most as an ambassador for second graders?

A．The kids’ interest in health-related topics.	B．The wide variety of field trips.
C．The kids’ rich knowledge about germs.	D．The interactive game of tag.

3. What does Holcomb emphasize about her work?

A．No pains, no gains.	B．Every little helps.
C．Different methods matter.	D．Easier said than done.

4. What does the underlined word “fervent” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Enthusiastic.

B．Sensitive.

C．Curious.

D．Concerned.

4 . 阅读下面材料，按要求完成下面小题。
①A Teacher’s Diary
April 14

I put Sharla, Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano (火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together.

Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear!

I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste (浆糊).

I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.

②A Student’s Diary
April 16

Yesterday, Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project.

I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. As a result of the whole thing going downhill, we ended up making no progress the whole day.

③The Show Time

The last workday for the project came.

“Is there a problem?” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though.

“Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.

“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”

“I see. What do you think, Tony?” Mrs. Holt waited.

“Well, I think it would have lava (岩浆) running down.”

“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt?”

Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right?”

Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”

It was the show time._______________

8 . How to Choose Extracurricular Activities

From sports to clubs to outside organizations, there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom.     1     Fortunately, it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general. With a little more careful thought, you can also choose an activity that interests you.

Think about your interests and know your advantages. Before you start considering specific(具体的)activities, take a step back. Think about what excites you and find your passions(热情).     2     Now that you have a better idea of what you like to do in general, decide on those that you are good at. Ask yourself what skills they show. Then find activities that require the same ones. Make sure that you will enjoy yourself by choosing an activity that lets you shine.

    3     In addition to your interests and advantages, know what you would like to improve about yourself. Use activities as a way to make yourself better. Find out new challenges, without the added stress of having to earn good grades at them. You can use activities to develop general skills that you may not have.

Find out what activities are available(可用的)and look into each one.     4     If the website seems incomplete, talk with your teacher or parents. Also look for calendar details, such as start-and-end dates, plus event schedules, to make sure it won’t get in the way of anything else going on in your life. Once you have a list of activities that match your interests, do a little research.     5    

A．Think about skills you want to develop.

B．This can make choosing one a little difficult.

C．Use your freshman year to explore your choices.

D．In this way, you will have a better idea of what to expect.

E．Also make sure that their culture is a good match for your own personality.

F．Use those to decide on activities that will keep you interested for a long time.

G．Search your school’s website for a complete list of all the activities it provides.

9 . School field trips have been part of the educational experience for children across the US for decades. While many schools believe there’s value in letting students develop socially with out-of-classroom experiences, measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult. And showing the value of out-of- class   time can be challenging for teachers tasked with providing a good education.

As such, many art venues, science museums and zoos have reported drops in field trip attendance. Teachers and students have also reported falling numbers of school supported trips, particularly for minority students in academically low-performing schools.

But thanks to new research from Brigham Young University and the Heritage Foundation, the value of field trips is finally being understood. The study used an experimental design and randomly assigned fourth-and fifth-grade students from fifteen elementary schools in Atlanta to join in three field trips during a school year. The field trips included a trip to a gallery, a live theater performance and a symphony concert.

Students who attended three different field trips in the fourth or fifth grade scored higher on end-of-grade exams, received higher course grades, were absent less often and had fewer behavioral problems. Besides academic(学业的) improvements， students who took part in field trips were more likely to express a desire to have careerism related fields in the future. In parents’ opinion, they are very interested in the academic quality of their children’s schools, but they’re also interested in the social skills and social engagement habits they develop. Field trips are easy ways to help facilitate both.

“We expected that field trips wouldn’t harm test scores. However, we never predicted the all-around improvements for students who joined in these field trips,” said Eriekson, a researcher in the study. “One potential reason for this is that field trips widen students’ world concepts and introduce them to new ideas. Similarly, students might be more engaged in school thanks to field trips.   Students find school more exciting and want to try harder in class.”

1. Why do the number of school field trips drop?

A．Teachers give students too many tasks.

B．Schools have great problems with money.

C．The value of field trips is hard to be measured.

D．Students have difficulty in academic learning.

2. What is the theme of the field trips in the study?

A．Art.

B．Nature.

C．Sports.

D．Technology.

3. What can we infer about students who joined in the study?

A．They have more interests.

B．They have more self-control.

C．They become more creative.

D．They become more expressive.

4. What is Erickson’s attitude towards the result of the study?

A．Doubtful.

B．Surprised.

C．Disappointed.

D．Negative.
