What are some of your favourite memories of the University?
In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion, members of the milestone class are asked to recall
campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here’s small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.
Phyllis Jo Baunach
“...I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.
Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for students-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”
Paul Boehm
“Many sweet and lasting memories—five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at a Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Ellen Blazer Boehm from the class of 1972 when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five- year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘how about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”
Farel Vella McClure
“...I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact, I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his office in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”
16. According to the passage, Paul Boehm ________.
A. married Ellen Blazer in 1972
B. disliked his major in university
C. became a famous climate scientist later
D. discovered his interest in environmental science
17. What can we learn about Farel Vella McClure?
A. She was a world famous designer.
B. She was active in school activities.
C. She had a hard time getting her master’s degree.
D. She once met I. M. Pei at the Louvre Pyramid.
18. The three people all talked about ________.
A. their beloved professors B. their great friendship
C. their learning experiences D. their beautiful campus
B
Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get a picture of the moon that doesn’t look blurry! In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a highquality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera, you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.
Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase except the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phases provide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper. What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it’s best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon.
Learn when the moon rises and sets. When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer. This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac(年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area.
Pick a clear night. Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs. Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing. A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography.
Choose a location away from direct light sources. The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures. It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source.
19. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”?
A. Unclear. B. Transparent. C. Confusing. D. Ugly.
20. Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon?
A. A highquality camera. B. The skills to set up the camera.
C. A weather app. D. A suitable location.
21. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo.
B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo.
C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo.
D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo.
C
Just as regulation has helped increase fuel efficiency, cut exhaust smokes and introduce anti-slip equipment, so government involvement is needed to get the connected car on the road. It is beginning to happen. Earlier this year, Europe’s standards-setting agencies agreed a common set of agreements for cars and traffic infrastructure (基建) to communicate. Others should follow. Governments should then set firm deadlines for all new cars to be fully connected and capable of matching, and a date for existing cars to be re-improved with a basic locator beacon (定位器) and the ability to receive risky warnings.
If cars are to connect, new infrastructure will have to be built. Roads and parking spaces will need sensors to monitor them; motorways will need specific lanes for matching. But this will not necessarily be expensive. Upgrading traffic signals so they can be controlled remotely by a central traffic management system is a lot cheaper than building new roads.
The sooner these changes are made, and cars are plugged into a smart traffic section, the quicker Singaporean variable pricing— for parking as well as road use— can become the criterion. Motorists will then have the motive, as well as the ability, to avoid the busiest places at the busiest times, and the horrible death that roads take in human lives should start falling.
In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more smokes. In the future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.
22.What do governments truly expect of the connected car?
A. It’ll be standard-friendly. B. It’ll get fully prepared soon.
C. It’ll be under command. D. It’ll promote infrastructure.
23.What will happen if traffic signals are to upgrade?
A. More sensors are offered by the companies.
B. More special roads are needed by motorists.
C. The whole project is more economical to operate.
D. The whole society is crazier about the new cars.
24.Which is most UNLIKELY to benefit from such changes?
A. Motorists. B. Singaporeans’ pricing.
C. Road death. D. Traditional traffic sections.
25.Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.

____27____ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.

Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ____30____ You should reassess
your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. This should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G. Without motivation you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
How Supermarkets Are Changing Britain
The British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing?
Not necessarily. For a start, many small shops can’t compete on price with superstores such as Tesco. And they don’t have as many products either. As a result, 36% of the UK’s small shops shut down between 1990 and 1996 while the number of supermarkets increased from 457 to 1,102. Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub. There are now over 55,000 supermarkets in the UK, but
less than 55,000 pubs. A decade ago there were more than 61,000. These days, pubs are closing at the rate of 39 a week!
Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they’ve got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn’t entirely true either!
Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn’t good for the environment either. So, what can be done to help the “little guys”? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets. And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the year 2000, one supermarket gave the government £12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.

The British are fond of their supermarkets. But it is not necessarily a good thing.Supermarkets have a negative effect on many small shops and the British pub.Supermarkets are also harmful to animals, which are killed for their meat for sale. Supermarkets lead to a poor environmental record.All this is because supermarkets have a lot of power.
