Peer ( 同伴 ) Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) is a peer-facilitated learning programme available to students enrolled ( 注册 ) in most core units of study in our business school.
PASS involves weekly sessions where you work in groups to tackle specially prepared problem sets, based around a unit of study you’re enrolled in.
PASS doesn’t re-teach or deliver new content. It’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the key points from lecture materials while you are applying your skills to solve problems.
You work interactively with your peers. As a peer group, you decide what is covered in each session. That way, PASS directly responds to your needs and feedback.
Registration in Term 2 will open at 9 am, 21 September 2022.
Waiting lists
If a session is full, you can register for the waiting list. We will email you if a place becomes available or if a new session is to be held.
When you are placed on a waiting list, we will email you a number which tells you where you are on the list. If you are close to the front of the list, you have a good chance of gaining a place in the programme in the near future.
Deregistering
If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your attendance.
You’ll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email the PASS office at passoffice@umbs. edu..

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了人们在点外卖的同时，也增加了塑料产品的使用，造成了环境污染。
【详解】 1. 考查反身代词。句意：因为人们不能总是在外面吃饭或者为他们自己做饭，所以他们叫外卖或者预定配送服务。空处在句中作介词 for 的宾语，当主语和宾语为同一物时，宾语要用反身代词。所以此处要用反身代词 themselves 。故填 themselves 。
2. 考查定语从句。句意：这包括杯子、瓶子和袋子，其中大多数（东西）只能使用一次。分析可知， most of ______are only good for one use 在句中为非限制性定语从句；先行词为 cups, bottles, and bags ，在从句中作介词 of 的宾语，所以此处用关系代词 which 。故填 which 。
3. 考查比较级。句意：这是个大问题，而且越来越严重。 even“ 甚至 ” 常置于比较级前，所以此处用 worse ，故填 worse 。
4. 考查现在完成时。句意：自从 2019 年，那些塑料的使用已经增加了 300% 。根据句中 since 2019 ，可知此处用现在完成时。主语 The use of those plastics 为单数含义，助动词用 has 。故填 has increased 。
