• 3．Side hustles for college students deliver spending money while still offering the flexibility that a full class schedule requires.
     Take class notes
     One side hustle for college students involves taking notes in class and selling them.
     Three sites-StudySoup，NexusNotes and Stuvia-offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university.Each has its own pay formula.But you usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes，plus a payment for each set of notes that sell.Students say they can earn﹩250 to﹩500 per class，per semester.Because this job requires taking great class notes，you're likely to do better in school.
     Become a tutor
     Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning.That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject，from high school algebra to Spanish，to teach that subject to others.A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person.
  Some of the best：Wyzant，Varsity Tutors，and，for those who want to teach music，LessonFace.
     Be a survey taker
     The best option in this category is a site called Prolific，which helps researchers
  find pre-screened survey participants.What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions-age，income，family status，etc. -in advance.Then，the site sends you only the surveys that you're qualified to take.You're given an estimate of the time it will require to take each survey and how much it pays.You decide whether it's worth your time.
     Charge scooters
     Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus.Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere.So scooter companies，such as Bird and Lime，enlist "chargers" and "juicers" to pick them up，charge them overnight and return them to a designated area early the next morning.
     If you have a late class，there are two benefits to signing up to charge.First，you earn between﹩5 and﹩20 for each scooter you return fully charged.You also get to ride the scooters home for free，which isn't a bad way to get back to your dorm.
  
  （1）Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes？

  
  A．Prolific.
  B．LessonFace.
  C．Wyzant.
  D．StudySoup.
  （2）What may make Charge scooters attractive？

  
  A．It pays riders for charging scooters.
  B．It provides more benefits for students.
  C．It offers a means of free transportation.
  D．It helps solve litter problem on campus.
  （3）The passage mainly introduces

  .
  A．methods to do better in school
  B．job options for college students
  C．after-class activities for students
  D．ways to meet a full class schedule

第三部分 书面表达（共两节，共 32 分）第一节 阅读表达（共 4 小题，第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。

• 8．Panda Pride Pandas are not only a national treasure，but are loved around the world.
      Recently，a giant panda cub （幼崽） born in August at the Smithsonian's National Zoo，US，was given the name Xiao Qi Ji，which is translated into English as "little miracle".The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135，000 voters in the US.
      This cub's birth proved to be quite inspiring—and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. "Xiao Qi Ji's birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic，" Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. "We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador，and in our shared joy and friendship."
      The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in China's diplomacy，known as "panda diplomacy".
      In the 1950s，China sent pandas as gifts to friendly countries with no strings attached.The most successful donation being that of two pandas to the US in 1972，a move announced during President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China which marked the beginning of normalized Sino-US relations.
      By 1982，China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries.However，most of them have died mainly because they don't have enough to eat.Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of fresh bamboo daily.It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature，and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth.
      In acknowledgement of the decline in panda numbers，the Chinese government stopped giving them as gifts.Instead the animals were "loaned"，usually via renewable 10-year rental terms.If a foreign zoo wants to rent a panda，it must first draw up a feasible research program that will help panda conservation.China also banned any form of overseas panda tours for private profit.
      The nature of panda exchanges since then has changed into an exercise focused on protecting the species through collaborative research.The government is hoping that cooperation between Chinese and foreign scientists can develop new ways of saving the panda and the entire ﹩1 million annual rental fee goes toward protection and research.
      Countries are trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. "We don't own the pandas，but the whole world wants to help save the panda，and we do that through our knowledge exchange.The concern for the vulnerable animal unites all citizens regardless of nationality，class or political persuasion." Steven Monfort，director of the Smithsonian's National Zoo，told China Daily.
  
  （1）Why is Xiao Qi Ji，the giant panda cub's birth so inspiring？

  
  （2）What may cause the death of pandas in other countries？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  Pandas were loaned to other countries to make profit and boost domestic economy.

  
  （4）Apart from pandas，what else can be a cultural ambassador representing China？Name one and explain how it may help China improve international relations. （about 40 words）
