A

If

you’ve

applied

or

are

currently

applying

to

Ivy

(

常春藤

)

League

schools,

you’ve

likely

heard the phrase “Ivy Day”.

What Is Ivy day?

Ivy Day, or Ivy Admissions Day, is the day when all Ivy League schools release their regular

admissions

decisions

online

for

regular

decision

first

-

year

applicants.

The

eight

Ivie—Brown,

Columbia,

Cornell,

Dartmouth,

Harvard,

Penn,

Princeton,

and

Yale—typically

release

their

decisions at the same exact time.

Because

all

Ivies

release

their

admissions

notifications

at

the

same

time

through

their

respective online portals (

门户网站

), and because applicants are eager to get their results as soon

as possible, Ivy Day often means long loading times and a bigger chance of page crashes due to

the heavy online traffic. Therefore, if you hit any major online traffic or are facing constant page

crashes, it might be better to get off your computer and wait an hour or two until the traffic dies

down a bit and you can check your admissions results without issue.

Top schools that are not in the Ivy League typically have different decisions release dates. In

2018, Amherst released its admissions decisions earlier than Ivy Day on March 23. Occasionally, a

non

-

Ivy

school’s

decisions

release

date

overlaps

with

Ivy

Day;

NYU,

for

instance,

released

its

decisions on Ivy Day in 2018

When Is Ivy day 2020?

Unfortunately, the exact date for Ivy Day 2020 has not yet been officially confirmed by any

Ivy League schools. Below is a table showing Ivy Days from previous years and their days, dates,

Pearl Fryar knew he wanted to do something unique with the farmland he bought in South

Carolina. He wanted to win the local garden club’s “Yard of the month” award.

Fryar didn’t have the money to purchase new trees, so he began by using bushes and shrubs

that a local nursery had thrown away—plants that looked dead to most people.

Because he worked days at a can factory, Fryar often tended his garden at night. Neighbors

got

used

to

seeing

him

stand

on

the

ladder,

cutting

up his

steadily

growing

bushes. The

shrubs

began to take on different shapes. As the years went by, the creations became more delicate. Fryar

1

高考模拟试卷

began planting trees and using zip ties, coat hangers, PVC pipe, and even his wife’s old stockings

to achieve the forms he wanted. “He has a way of handling plants to do things he wants them to by

training, bending, wiring, and clipping.” said a neighbor.

Many professional gardeners are amazed by what Fryar has been able to accomplish. Some

plants which wouldn’t survive in the South thrived under his care.

Fryar’s attention to detail and his willingness to work hard have made him a local hero. He

was the first African American to win “Yard of the Month” from the local garden chub.

Fryar’s garden now includes about 400 species of plants and 150 different plant sculptures. A

box

for

donations

can

be

found

on

the

property,

but

giving

is

optional.

Fryar

welcomes

people

who can’t afford to pay. He understands. He’s been there. “You can be somebody he tells students

who visit the garden. “Show me anyone who works at anything with a passion and has patience,

and they’re going to be successful. Be strong enough not to let the barriers in life stop you.”

4. How did Fryar make his garden unique?

A. He made the plants into different shapes.

B. He bought new trees from a local nursery.

C. He used his professional knowledge.

D. He asked his neighbors to cut up his bushes.

5. What does the underlined word “thrived” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Died away.

C. Faded slowly.

B. Became weak.

D. Grew strong

6. What made Fryar win the award?

A. Passion and innovation.

B. Patience and generosity.

C. Ambition and sympathy.

D. Willingness and honesty.

7. What is the best title for the text?

A. Making a Man into a Hero

B. The Hard Life of Pearl Fryar

C. Transforming a Garden into Art

D. The first man of “Yard of the month”

C

Art—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a

relaxing

and

inspiring

activity

for

many

people.

However,

the

particular

benefits

of

artistic

expression go much further.

Studies

suggest

that

art

therapy

(

疗法

)

can

be

very

valuable

in

treating

issues

such

as

depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process

complex feelings and find relief.

You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of

artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home

such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what

media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings

are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to

be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly

wake up.

However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can

tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for

building

healthy

connections

with

other

people,

which

may

be

very

helpful

if

you

are

fighting

depression.

Experts

agree

that

art

therapy

has

many

benefits,

from

promoting

your

self

-

respect,

and

providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life

and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation,

you will be taking yourself on a journey of self

-

discovery that will help you get rid of emotional

roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.

8. What is art therapy used for?

A. Learning drawing skills.

B. Expressing art with words.

C. Preventing physical diseases.

D. Improving mental health.

9. To finish a successful art therapy, you’d better ________.

A. have a gift for art

1

高考模拟试卷

B. have a strong will

C. be honest with yourself

D. hold back your emotions

10. Why are group activities needed when dealing with depression?

A. To set an example.

B. to promote communication.

C. To build up friendships.

D. To wake up the inner artist.

11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A. Explain the advantages of art therapy.

B. Give some details about art creation.

C. Provide some advice for readers.

D. Summarize the previous paragraphs.

D

Digital devices are great, but they can also be annoying when it comes to writing or drawing.

Most of the time you must rely on your fingertips to do the typing or drawing for you, and what

you wanted to write or draw might not come out the way you imagined. A new pen called “Phree”,

created by Israeli company called OTM Technologies, aims to change the dependency that most of

us have when it comes to writing or drawing in digital form.

The Phree pen looks a lot like a regular pen in both size and shape. The difference is that you

can

use

the

Phree

pen

to

write

on

any

surface

(from

a

table

to

a

wall),

and

then

transfer

that

writing directly to your target device.

Phree

uses

a

sensor

called

a

3D

laser

interferometer

(

激光干涉仪

).

The

laser

beams

are

projected (

投影

) on the surface and they will be reflected back to the interferometer. By analyzing

these beams’ tracks, the laser interferometer measures the hand motion while writing.

The pen

connects

with

your

phone

via

a

Bluetooth. Phree

can be

used

to

take

notes

using

1

高考模拟试卷

various applications on the target device. The notes will appear on the target device whenever you

open it. You can even receive, write and send text messages using the device display (

显示装置

)

and it can function as an earphone. Phree can also be used as a regular computer mouse whenever

it is connected to a target device. The device can also be used as ID equipment as it can precisely

analyze the way a person writes.

“We see Phree as a standard input device in the mobile world, in the same way the mouse

became a standard part of PC use. We also see benefits to emerging technologies like AR and VR

headsets,

interactive

TV,

and

IoT

(Internet

of

Things).”

Gilad

Lederer,

co

-

founder

of

OTM

Technologies said.

12. What inspires the OTM Technologies to create Phree?

A. Drawing pictures in a better way.

B. People’s relying too much on typing.

C. Making digital devices less annoying.

D The inconvenience of data input using fingertips.

13. How does Phree measure the movement of hands?

A. By sending out laser lines.

B. By connecting with the Bluetooth.

C. By analyzing the reflection lines of lasers.

D. By checking the writing ways of certain person.

14. What can we infer about Phree from paragraph 4?

A. It can identify people.

B. It can connect to the Internet.

C. It can be used as a remote control.

D. It can function as a device display.

15. What will Phree be like in Lederer’s opinion?

A. It will create more new technologies.

B. It will be widely used in many areas.

C. It will be the best tool to write letters.

D. It will take the place of the mouse of PC.
