This week, were looking at four of the best book remendation sites, services, or groups, based on your nominations(提名).GoodReads GoodReads is more than just a book remendation site, although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy. You can build a virtual “shelf” of books you own or have already read, share your progress with the books youre currently reading, rate the books youve read, leave reviews, and connect with other readers. BookBubWhile BookBub isnt strictly a book remendation service, it does bring you super-low-cost books based on your interests every day. The service is free, and when you sign up, you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read. From there, youll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day. When we say “deal,” we mean itmany of BookBubs titles are free entirely, $0.99, or just a couple of bucks.LibraryThingLibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user-powered book ratings, review, and remendation site. The service calls itself the worlds largest book club, and thats a lot like the overall feel. Once you sign up, youll be encouraged to start adding books youve read and leave reviews for them. Behind its book ratings and reviews though, LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection. OlmentaIf youre not interested in registering for accounts, adding your own books, or any of that hassle(麻烦), Olmenta can suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the citation of the people behind the site. Its a simple list of book covers that the service thinks you should read, and a few genres you can click on if youre looking for something specific, like business, fiction, childrens, theatre, poetry, or nonfiction, among others. 21. Which of the following two book remendation sites ask you to rate and leave reviews?A. Goodreads and BookBubB. BookBub and LibraryThingC. LibraryThing and OlmentaD. Goodreads and LibraryThing22. Which book remendation site can help you get super-low-cost books?A. GoodReads B. BookBub C. LibraryThingD. Olmenta23. If you turn to Olmenta, you _.A. need to pay moreB. need to add your own bookC. dont need to sign upD. dont need to look for something specific B Students should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teachers job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teachers effectiveness. There is a huge difference between “How do I figure out if this student understands” and “How do I make this student prove to me he gets it.” The first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybodys time.And theres the problem. If we start with the assumption (假定) that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say “Students should be able to show what they know.” But I think its far more useful to say, Teachers should be able to discover what students know.24. What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous. B. Very annoying.C. Very difficult. D. Very frequent.25. According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to .A. discover whether his students knowB. avoid wasting the precious time in classC. apply various approaches while teachingD. give students the chance to prove themselves26. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a huge burden on teachers.C. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose.27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B. There are many ways to find proof of student learning.C. Teachers should be able to discover what students know.D. There should be better understanding between teachers and students.C Scientists are preparing to launch the worlds first machine to clean up the planets largest mass of ocean plastic. The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus in the patch about 40,000 metric tons within five years. In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made。The system, originally dreamed up by Mr. Slat, will be shipped out this summer to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, between Hawaii and California, and which contains an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. It will be the first ever attempt to tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.Mr. Slat was 16 and still at school when he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea. “There were more bags than fish down there,” he recalls. Two years later he came up with a solution, quit university after six months and set up The Ocean Cleanup as a pany. Mr. Slat, 23, says the first plastic to arrive on shore will be a major milestone. “We as a humanity created this problem, so I think its our responsibility also to help solve it,” he said.The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) spans 617,763 sq miles - more than twice the size of France, and contains at least 79,000 tons of plastic, research found last month. Most of it is made up of “ghost gear” parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes often from illegal fishing vessels. Ghost gear kills more than 100,000 whales, dolphins and seals each year, according to scientific surveys. Seabirds and other marine life are increasingly being found dead with stomachs full of small pieces of plastic. Creatures eat plastic discarded in the sea thinking its food but then starve to death because they are not feeding properly. Others are trapped and die of starvation or are strangled or suffocated by ghost gear. 28. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph probably mean?A. waste. B.ocean.C. system. D. machine.29. According to the passage, most of the Garbage in Pacific is made up of _ .A. fishing vesselsB. dolphins and sealsC. giant tubesD. abandoned fishing gear30. why do some creatures in The Great Pacific Garbage Patch die of starvation?A. because they were killed by Ghost gear.B. because they were suffocated by ghost gear.C. because they didnt like eating plastic.D. because they are not feeding properly.31. What is the main idea of the Passage?A. news about the first machine to clean up ocean plastic. B. report about the death of marine lifeC. information about ocean plastic.D. the reason for inventing a machine. DTraditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of pletely soft, autonomous robots” the studys authors wrote.Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they arent especially safe around humans, because theyre made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. Theyre taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.But creating a pletely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, its still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a ment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”32. Whats the special feature of “Octobot”？A. Its soft.B. Its made of metal.C. Its very small.D. It looks like an octopus.33. Whats the disadvantage of traditional robots?A. Theyre hard to control. B. Theyre too heavy to move.C. They cant predict conditions.D. They cant behave well all the time.34. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobots_.A. silicone bodyB. plex ponentsC. precise movementsD. flexible power source35. What can we infer about the application of “Octobot”？A. It has been used in various fields B.It has not been put into use on a large scale.C. It has been used in the field of rescue D. It has not been improved yet .第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Living abroad will make you a different person and it will change you forever in a good way.
