In order to make sure Harvard is an affordable choice for your undergraduate education,you can consider financial aid packages made up of a combination of four types of funding.
● Scholarships & Grants Because Harvard is committed to affordability,our scholarships are designed to cover 100% of your demonstrated financial need. Here is our process:
—Establish your parent contribution;
—Factor in student employment and outside awards;
—Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid.
· Outside Awards
Like many of our students,you may receive funds from sources outside Harvard,such as secondary schools,your parental employers,etc. Since the intention of these awards is that they be used for educational purposes,you must report them to Harvard and apply them toward your college expenses. We will consider your outside awards as a part of your overall financial aid funding.
· Student Employment
If you receive financial aid from Harvard,you will likely be expected to contribute to your education through employment.Your expected term-time work expectation is often around 10 to 12 hours per week. All wages earned are paid directly to you,rather than appearing on your term bill,and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses.
● Loans
You are not expected to take out loans, since our aid packages are designed to cover your financial need without additional borrowing. However,you may choose to pursue loans to help cover your student or family contribution.If you are interested in a loan,we will help you find one that works for you.
Types of Student Loans for Year 22-23 —Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan —Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan —Harvard Loans
—Additional loan information
21. Who may be the target readers of the text?
A.Parents unable to afford university fees. B. College freshmen with financial concerns.

A. Cover 100% of your expenses. B. Balance your earnings and awards. C. Help your parents to pay off debts. D. Bridge your financial gap in college. 23. According to the passage,which of the following may help cover your personal expenses?

When I was 9 and walking on the road,the people of my village frowned at me,a young girl in a school uniform. They asked Dad,“Why waste your money like this?”Dad said nothing and told me to walk ahead. Education was very important to him. He would sit us down and paint a picture with colors of the future he saw for us in every letter we wrote,in every math problem we solved.
英语 ·第3页(共8页)
However,today as I sit at my wedding,there are still plenty of colors all over the room:red on my nails,gold necklaces around my neck,and white roses lying in the center. Women in pink from all over the village sit in a circle playing the hand-drum. My uncle spared no expense when it came to decorations,jewelry and clothing — which was ironic (讽刺的), because obviously,he had no other financial option but to marry off his 15-year-old niece who was declared his responsibility after the tragic death of his sister and brother-in-law. But it was a matter of izzat he said, not wanting to cheapen himself.
Izzat,what a funny word. It was so delicately placed on the shoulders of every woman in this society,getting heavier as she grows older yet somehow weaker — the tiniest wind can tear it to pieces. Izzat. Maybe one day I'll live in a village where izzat is torn up through marrying a girl twenty-three years younger than you,and by selling off your only daughter because there was no other solution for your poor family.
Maybe one day,I'll live in a world where the birth of a girl isn't followed by a sigh or a ‘Never mind. Next time.'On that day,we'll hand over crayons to our young girls,and watch them color our world;we'll tell them:deepen the blue of the sky by flying planes through them, paint the grass greener with every football match you play and leave traces of silver from the surgical knife in your hand — take any other color you need and draw rainbows upon rainbows until they're enough to build a bridge to your dreams. One day,for sure.
24.Why did people frown at the author?
A. They disliked her school uniform. B. They treated girls' education lightly.
C. They thought she was too young for school. D. They wondered why her dad was speechless.
25. What does the underlined word“izzat”mean in paragraph 2?
A. Honor. B. Ambition. C. Fortune D. Knowledge.
26. What can be inferred about the girls from paragraph 3?
A. They are considered as the future of society.
B. They are supposed to be gifted in all walks of life. C. They are regarded as tradable goods for the family. D. They are thought to be responsible for their marriage. 27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Color the Girls'Future B. Live Up to Family Izzat C. Marry Your Mr.Right D. Be Father's Daughter
C
Theory of mind refers to the ability to understand the desires,intentions and beliefs of others,and is a skill that develops between 3 and 5 years of age in typically developing children.
Theory of mind is damaged in some people with autism (自闭症). One of the earliest tests for theory of mind is the false-belief test developed by Simon Baron-Cohen and Uta Frith. In the classic version of the test,a little girl named Sally puts a ball into a basket and goes out for a walk. While she is away, another little girl named Anne takes the ball out of the basket and puts it into a box. When Sally comes back,she wants to play with the ball. Where,the children are asked,will Sally look for the ball? Children with autism,unable to take an alternative perspective, would assume Sally has reason to believe that the ball has moved.
In 1985,Baron-Cohen,Frith and Alan Leslie reported that children with autism systematically fail the false-belief test. The researchers concluded that autism leads to a delay in the development of theory of mind,and that people with autism have difficulty understanding the mental states of others.
However,researchers stress that it is important to distinguish false-belief tasks, which rely on language,from completely-developed theory of mind,which is more deeply damaged in people with autism. Some children and adults with autism can pass false-belief tests,for example. But they show more difficulty with theory of mind tasks that do not allow them to reason through a problem. For example,a 2011 study reported that highly intelligent young adults with autism tend not to weigh intention and outcome when engaged in moral reasoning.

Finally,much research suggests that different aspects of language are important for developing theory of mind. These include communication in social contexts,such as between mother and child or in peer interactions with words and concepts referring to mental states and complex grammar,especially sentence structures used to express mental states.
28.What would be the answer from children with autism in the false-belief test?
A.“In the box.” B.“In the basket.” C.“Sally has it.” D.“Anne has it.”
29.What do we know about the“young adults”in paragraph 4?
A. They have higher intelligence than others because of autism. B. They have difficulty in telling the difference between languages. C. They can better weigh the outcome of a deed than normal people D. They can pass false-belief tests but not those for moral reasoning.
30. Which of the following may better benefit the development of theory of mind?
A. A discussion with classmates on the mathematic problems.
B. A self-talk on how to build a computer model to learn grammar. C. A chat with cousins on where to spend the next summer holiday. D. A bedtime conversation between mother and son on happy moments.
31.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To present scientists'conflicting opinions on autism. B. To alert different age groups to the danger of autism. C. To share some findings on theory of mind and autism. D. To offer the possible causes of and solutions to autism.
D
In the recently opened Our Broken Planet exhibition in London's Natural History Museum,a small piece of dark material covered with faint holes is on show in a display container. The nodule (小块) could easily be mistaken for coal,but its true nature is much more interesting.
The nodule is a combination of metals and oceanographers have discovered trillions of them on Earth's ocean floors. Each is rich in some of the most important elements for making the electric cars, wind turbines and solar panels that we need to replace the carbon-emitting motors,power plants and factories now damaging our climate.
These nodules could therefore help humanity save itself from the ill effects of global warming,argue mining companies who say their exploitation should be rated an international priority. By mining up chunks (块)from the deep we can slow the burning of our planet's surface.
“We desperately need substantial amounts of metals contained by these nodules to build electric cars and power plants,”says Hans Smit,chief executive of Florida's Oceans Minerals, which has announced plans to mine for nodules.“We cannot increase land supplies of these metals without having a significant environmental impact. It's our only alternative.”
Other researchers disagree,however. They say mining deep-sea nodules would be disastrous for our already stressed, plastic-ridden,overheated oceans. Delicate,long-living residents of the deep — shells,fish,corals and squids — would be erased by mining. At the same time,mud with poisonous metals would be sent upwards to disturb marine food-chains.
“It is hard to imagine how seabed mines could workably operate without destroying the ocean species,”says UK marine biologist Helen Scales,a view shared by David Attenborough,who has called for a pause on all deep-sea mining plans.“In this case it means the destruction of an ecosystem, an issue worth the best attention from every entity (实体)involved. ”he says. For better or worse,these mineral nodules are going to play a critical role in determining our future — either by releasing us from our current ecological headaches or by stimulating even more fatal outcomes.

32. Which of the following best describes the nodule on display?
A. An interesting artificial artwork.
B. A difficult-to-tell chunk of coal. C. An oceanic piece rich in metals.
D. A container for electric materials.
33. What do the underlined words“our only alternative”in the paragraph 4 refer to?
A. New technology for power plants. B. Massive production of electric cars. C. Land exploitation for more minerals. D. Underwater mining for specific metals.
34.What is David's major concern for deep-sea nodule exploitation?
A. The disorderly movements of ocean species. B. The disturbance of ecological balance at sea. C. The operational workability for seabed mining. D. The uneven distribution of profits among entities.
35.Why do the mineral nodules play a critical role in determining our future?
A. They can be used both for good and for bad. B. Their exploitation can bring opposing effects. C. They contain beneficial and harmful elements. D. Their exploiters cannot reach agreement till now.

The tragedy of the commons is an economic theory which outlines the problems with people sharing collective property versus private ownership. An example of collective property is when employees don't feel any ownership in the chairs and desks in the office,so they don't report problems when they occur. However,in private ownership,anything is checked and taken care of. The tragedy of the commons can ruin your business if you're not careful. 36 Encourage teamwork. Numerous studies have shown that to employees,self-realization is even more important than money. We can self-realize by feeling like we are a team,jointly committed to a cause. 37 They don't just have a job for themselves. Instead,they are set to make the company a success. Certainly,they have specific responsibilities,but their commitment to the business is all-embracing. 38 There are some people who are naturally more gifted in particular areas. For example,one man who works for me is just a natural handyman. So,I asked him to keep an eye on the mechanical items that may need maintenance and repairs,and to go ahead and fix it. He should treat the property as if he owns it
Hold back the critical.Not everybody is cut out to be an overseer of a business. Some people are just too judgmental or negative. Even if such people have particular skills, you do well to not assign them to oversee others. They can drive everybody crazy. 39 This keeps them and everyone else happy.
Welcome Feedback.You may notice something is not being taken care of here or there. 40 This becomes a valuable tool to show employees that this is important to you,and you genuinely care about them and the state of your assets.
A. Plan out management wisely.
B. Assign tasks evenly among employees.
C. Create a place for them where they work chiefly alone. D. There,however,exist such benefits as mentioned below.
E. The question then comes:How do you deal with it in a business? F.Point it out in a respectful manner and figure out what is going on
G. Inspire everyone to take a heartfelt involvement in the business as a whole.

One particular Thanksgiving,the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on our front lawn. Dad built a long table, and Mom and I rounded up every chair in the house. I did the place settings and made the centerpiece — my favorite job of the year.
My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon. I watched him walk from the street up the lawn,tall with his blond hair shining in the sun. Another car had pulled up behind them,and Uncle Gordon waited for a slim man to join him.As they walked,he and Gordon chatted. Mom came out of the house and greeted my aunt. Then,with a surprised look,she said hello to Gordon and his friend.
“Who's this?”
Gordon smiled and told us the man's name.“A Canuck (法裔加拿大人)from Toronto,like me.” “Oh,”Mom said uncertainly.“Well,welcome.Leslie,get another place setting and a chair.” She turned to the stranger.“Please have a seat. We're going to eat in about half an hour.”I thought the man looked a little funny,but he smiled.“Why,thanks. Thanks a lot.”I did as Mom asked and set a place at the table for the stranger. I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall home. And they did a lot of talking.
After dinner,the man approached my mother with a smile.“Thank you for including me in your Thanksgiving dinner,Joyce. It wasn't something I was expecting.”Mom frowned,a little confused. “Of course,”she said.“We're glad you could be here. Do you have Thanksgiving in Canada?”
“Ours is in October. We have turkey,though,just like you.”He smiled.“But this is one of the best Thanksgivings I've had. I guess Americans and Canadians aren't that different,eh?”Then again, he said,“But I never expected this.”
“Gordon's friend seems nice,”Mom said to my aunt when we were alone in the kitchen. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Gordon's friend?”my aunt said.“He's not Gordon's friend. We don't hnow him.” “I was,actually,lost in the neighborhood,”replied the stranger.
