In other words, acquiring skills takes time and effort. But how exactly does one go about learning a complex subject such as tennis, calculus, or even how to

12、 play the violin? An age-old answer is: practice one skill at a time. A beginning pianist might rehearse scales(音阶) before chords(和弦). A young tennis player practices the forehand before the backhand. Learning researchers call this “blocking”， and because it is common and easy to schedule, blocking

13、is dominant in schools, training programs, and other settings.However another strategy promises improved results. Enter “interleaving”， a largely unheard-of technique that is catching the attention of cognitive(认知) psychologists and neuroscientists. Blocking involves practicing one skill at a time b

14、efore the next (for example, “skill A” before “skill B” and so on, forming the pattern “AAABBBCCC”), while in interleaving one mixes practice on several related skills together (forming for example the pattern “ABCABCABC”).Over the past four decades, a small but growing body of research has found th

15、at interleaving often outperforms blocking for a variety of subjects, including sports and category learning. Yet there have been almost no studies of the technique in unplanned, real world settings-until recently. New research in schools finds that interleaving produces dramatic and long-lasting be

16、nefits for an essential skill: math. Not only does this finding have the potential to transform how math is taught, it may also change how people learn more generally.Researches are now working to understand why interleaving produces such impressive results. One important explanation is that it impr

17、oves the brains ability to tell apart between concepts. With blocking, once you know what solution to use, or movement to do, the hard part is over. With interleaving, each practice attempt is different from the last, so rote(死记硬背) responses dont work. Instead, your brain must continuously focus on

18、searching for different solutions. That process can improve your ability to learn critical features of skills and concepts, which then better enables you to select and produce the correct response.A second explanation is that interleaving strengthens memory associations. With blocking, a single stra

19、tegy，temporarily held in short-term memory, is sufficient. Thats not the case with interleaving-the correct solution changes from one practice attempt to the next. As a result, your brain is continually engaged at regaining different responses and bringing them into short-term memory. Repeating that

20、 process can strengthen neural connections between different tasks and correct responses, which improves learning.Both of these accounts imply that increased effort during training, either to discriminate correct responses or to strengthen them, is needed when interleaving is used. This corresponds

21、to a potential drawback of the technique, namely that the learning process often feels more gradual and difficult in the beginning. However, that added effort can have better, longer-lasting results.1、What can we learn from the new strategy of “interleaving”？AStudying related skills together has man

22、y impressive results.BLearning relevant skills together contributes to people mastering skills quickly.CFocusing on different skills at a time saves people time and efforts in the beginning.DMixing up skills distracts peoples attention, thus lessening efficiency.2、Why does interleaving produce impre

23、ssive results?AIt can be scheduled easily.BIt focuses on rote responses.CIt is temporarily held in short-term memory.DIt enables you to learn critical features of skills and concepts.3、What does the passage mainly talk about?ABlocking involves practicing one skill at a time before the next.BCorrect

24、solution often changes from one practice attempt to the next.CPractising one skill at a time plays an important role in learning a complex subject.DStudying related skills or concepts together is an effective way to train your brain.22（8分） “With depressingly few exceptions, performances are dull and

25、 lack vitalityAfter years of trying to convince myself otherwise, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.”-Jennifer Homans, Apollos AngelsIs ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homanss conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollos Angels, is worrying.It appears tha

26、t ballets pulse continues to beat strongly, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point?“Ballet is dead”-“Ballet is dying” -all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsches philosophical claim: “God is

27、 dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey. To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharps In the Upper Room, where d

28、ancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphys Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipas choreography(编舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical for

29、m and principles, then manipulate(操纵) the rules. .The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced

30、 by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homanss book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming closer together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the case amongst Aust

31、ralasian ballet companies for many years now. .Homans writes that ballets decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transition-from neo-classical to contemporary ballet-has occurred. Our art forms evolution has always been with extinction.

32、 Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, rose again from its ashes”. History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art forms changi

33、ng forums.So here is the irony: what sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipas classics. A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(胡桃夹子), half the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles-Albrecht, Pri

34、nce Siegfried and Romeo-were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballets framework supports the modern pro

35、cess of bench-marking.Perhaps Jennifer Homanss thoughts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is dying for some. Ballets evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Bal

36、lets programming in Brisbane this year-of Christopher Wheeldons The Winters Tale, and Wayne MacGregors Woolf Works-over the next 20 years, ballets reliance on Petipa will decrease. Contemporary ballets and merge-styled ballets will produce their box-office influence ever more.Why?It is simple: our a

Deliberately introduced from South and Central America in the 1930s, they were supposed to control beetles

42、damaging the sugarcane crop thats how they got the name “cane toads.”Cane toads can pose a particular danger because the adult ones shoot toxin ( 毒 素 ) from their back when attacked. The tiny toads dont carry enough toxin to be deadly yet, but big adult ones can easily send a dog into a seizure ( 疾病

43、发作) or even kill it. The toxin is “very viscous and would stick inside the dogs mouth,” says Steve Johnson, a wildlife ecologist at the University of Florida. Owners should try to wipe out an affected dogs mouth and immediately take it to the vet.Tilford started Toad Busters in 2017. The woman who l

44、ived there had nine cats, which she fed by dumping almost a bag of cat food every night. Cane toads normally eat bugs, but they are happy to eat pet food, too.Cane toads have adapted beautifully to the Florida suburbs, so a lot of Tilfords work also involves getting people to rethink their suburban

45、backyard. No more cat food, for example. Pet poop (粪便) can also attract insects, which can in turn attract toads. As do lights. And toads love to breed (繁殖) in attractive pools of water, such as the lake in the affected Palm Beach Garden neighborhood. For “these larger communities that want to build

46、 these beautiful ponds and want to have houses on ponds,” Tilford said, “this is almost a pest-control service.” The cane toads arent going away, but they can be managed like mosquitoes or rats.Dealing with toads amounts to an annoying thing in Florida, but they can also create more dramatic problem

In Australiawhere they were also deliberately introduced in the 1930s to protect sugarcanethey are a genuine scourge (灾祸).The issue is that Australia has no native toad species, so none of the predators (食肉动物) knew how to avoid the toxic toads. As the cane toads advanced east to west across the c

48、ontinent, “they left a wake of dead animals in their paths,” says Sean Doody, an ecologist at the University of South Florida at St. Petersburg who has studied cane toads in Australia. Turtles, lizards, and crocodiles just started dying out, which was good news for their prey (受害者). “If you were a s
