11、空。Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on 1 way to school or work. But in China, I hardly see people reading 2 their free time.Are peoples attitudes toward reading 3 (difference) here? Not really. Data (数据) released by Amazon China show that Chine

12、se people still read a lot. They 4 (simple) prefer e-books over regular books.However, other data show that reading is still 5 (popular) in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? Im not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学). From classic novel

13、s like Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem, Chinese authors 6 (create) many fantastic works so far.Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you migh

14、t not feel like reading for 7. Chinese students surely have to read more and do more homework 8 American students. So its no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time.9 learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot im

15、agine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own 10 (person) beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?. 阅读理解A13、Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in pr

16、imary,middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction is well founded:research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behindtheir international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers andparents all felt that

17、 the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rushto play catchup in STEMrelated areas, theres one important aspect that is beingneglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.Its long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high schooll

18、evel helps students improve in many areas, such as selfconfidence, selfexpression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree thatall of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the sameparents and teachers to prioritize (优

19、先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject likedrama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. Its even more difficult forpolicy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama,when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the

20、modern world iscalling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the techdriven 21st century,how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smallerand smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on

21、 drama?” is that dramaeducation has been scientifically proven to improve students achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop studentswith highly refined skills in STEM subjects, its equally important that we train the teachersthat will

22、support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is thebest way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearablydry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in whichthe communication skills can be developed is

23、publication and conference presentation.Drama improves students public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectivelypresent papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. Its alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the re

24、al STEMworld, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skillsnecessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilledone becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate andwork in teams.While the natio

25、nwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catchup in STEM education isreasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, its important not to forget the huge effectarts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. Thequestion parents, educators, and policy makers should be

26、asking themselves is not “can weafford to support arts education in schools?” but rather “can we afford not to?”1Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?ABecause the world has moved into a techdriven century.BBecause STEM classes have long been neglected in America.CBecause education

27、officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.DBecause US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.2The word “channel” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.AaffordBdirectCcreateDraise3The third paragraph is mainly about .Athe benefits of drama educationBthe importance of STEM learningCt

29、ing catchupB14、National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones i

30、n the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscape, geographic wonders and colourful plants and animals.The Grand Canyon (大峡谷)National Park of the US is one of the Seven National Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long, up to 29 kilometer

31、s wide, and 1.6 kilometers deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the parks full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.If you love animals, youll like the Serengeti Nati

32、onal Park in Tanzania. The “ Big Five” live here. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard, black rhinoceros and African buffalo. The name “ Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park,

33、you should never miss the migration(迁徙) of over 1.5 million wildebeests(角马)and 250,000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park.1Which is NOT right about national parks according to Paragraph 1?AA national park is public land that covers a large area.BWild plants and animals are p

34、rotected in national parks.CForbes has listed twelve of the worlds largest national parks.DNational parks are attractive because of their natural beauty.2The underlined word “ immensity” refers to _.Agreat size Bnatural wonder Ccolourful view Dunusual beauty3_kinds of animals are mentioned in the pa

36、guage students with the good chance to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of an American home. What to Expect The host will provide places to live and meals. Rooms will be cleaned every day. And the host is there to offer help and advice on your physical and mental

37、(精神的) health. Living Area Host families are mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4. Most hosts dont live in Zone 1 because much of central New York is trading center. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger houses in uncrowded areas. But its very convenient to travel to the center of New York by subway. Meal Plans Its

38、 important to know that few American families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your breakfast mainly includes fruit juice, bread and coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not part of the breakfast. Dinners are usually made up of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit

39、and coffee Friends If you wish to invite a friend to visit you, you must ask your host for permission (许可) first, because some families feel uncomfortable when there are strangers at their home.1Which of the following will the host provide?ARoom cleaning.BA swimming pool.CFree transport.DTraveling g

41、an cultureD16、Pictures That Dont Last“YEARS ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyons edge, taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like got it done, barely even glancing at the magnificent (壮观的) scene sprawling (展开) in front of them,” Linda Henke

42、l, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (着迷的) people are with taking pictures these days before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, dont you?They keep taking pictures because the

43、y think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 obj

44、ects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.“When people rely on technology to remember for them counti

45、ng on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative effect on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed (缩放) in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually i

46、mproved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that werent in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if

47、 we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access（接近）and interact with the photos, rather than justamassingthem,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are to

48、o many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.1The author mentioned Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to _.Acomplain about some tourists bad habitsBgive suggestions on how to enjoy ones tourCdescribe the great view of the Grand CanyonDpoint out peoples obses

49、sion with taking pictures2Which of the following statements about Henkels study is TRUE?AReviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.BTaking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.CPictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve peoples m

50、emories.DPeople should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.3The underlined word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means _.AdisplayingBcollectingCintroducingDremembering4What is the article mainly about?ASome skills to learn for taking pictures.BPeoples obsessio

51、n with taking pictures and its influence.CHow pictures remind us of our past.DHow to deal with pictures after taking trips.E17、Speed reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to get key words and the meaning of the text. With so much informati

52、on through our electronic device (设备), it would be impossible to get through everything if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet i

53、n a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sit in comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isnt to share ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. Slow

54、readers, such as TheAtlanticsMaura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves attention, lowers stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others. Some of these benefits have been backed up by science. For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal N

55、eurology last year showed that adults who take part in activities that use their brain, such as reading, suffer (遭受) less memory loss as they get older. Yet technology has made us less careful readers. Computer and phone screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom, left-to-right

56、 reading order we traditionally used, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we search for important words and information. Reading text online that has many links to other web pages also leads to weaker understanding than reading plain text (纯文本). The Internet may have made us stupider, says Br

57、itish journalist Patrick Kingsley from the Guardian, only half joking. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a large number of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, think and relate all these facts to each other.Slowing reading mea

58、ns a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in (挤出) that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments whenever you want to check your favorite site for something to pass the time yo

59、u pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said.1The words “backed up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “_”.Agiven back Bcalled back Csupported Ddisagreed2Kingsley believes that the Internet has weaken peoples ability to _.Aget key words rapidly Bshare ideas about booksCcollect interesting news D

60、think deeply about information3According to the passage, slow reading_.Aimproves understanding among peopleBtreats the memory loss of elderly peopleCprovides people with a quiet environmentDslows down the development of electronic device4Whats the best title for the passage?ABenefit of Reading Clubs
