21、Magazine Articles: More Valuable Than You May Think
Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium.
Magazine Benefits
Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively, breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more.
The articles in magazines are generally short, which allows a child to finish reading a feature article without losing interest due to a short attention span. The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read, especially if it is a children's publication.
By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age, you are encouraging development of a useful skill.【1】Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habit of reading news articles that may continue into adulthood.
【2】 Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable. Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend.
Magazine Activities
Reading magazines as a family can be used to introduce each other to the various interests that each family member possesses. When your children are finished with their magazines, encourage them to pass their issue on to a sibling or other family member.
Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, you can use them for art and writing projects. These projects are for family members of all ages:
1. Cut out pictures to help your preschool and kindergarten children learn their alphabet, numbers, and colors.
2.【3】 Paste the picture at the top of a page and have them write a story about what is happening or what the picture represents.
3. Clip pictures to create a collage. Many teenagers love using their artistic talents to collage.
【4】The skills that students utilize and strengthen when reading magazines can be applied to higher level reading and other academic subjects. Encouraging your child to read by giving them a magazine subscription could cause them to take the leap from being a reluctant N reader to a voracious page-turner.
A．The format of magazines enables children to be exposed to a wide variety of subjects.
B．Magazines and newspapers provide adults with critical news.
C．Being exposed to magazines and newspapers benefits you a lot.
D．Keep interesting magazine pictures to give children story ideas.
E．Magazines are valuable assets for many people, but in particular to children.
F．Magazines and newspapers are expensive now but out of style.
22、 Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school president whose unusual way of encouraging his students became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie.
“You are not inferior (低人一等)”was what Clark would often tell his students at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey. Many of the Eastside students were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment. Many of the students who attended the school faced violence, crime, drugs and troubled family life.
Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the US Army. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark's first days of working at Eastside High School, he made the decision to expel 300 students for fighting, abusing teachers and drug possession. Clark believed that students had to be shocked often to understand the influences that could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.
President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie Lean on Me. That movie was based on Clark's experiences at Eastside High School.“Joe was a father figure to school kids,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.”
Of course, not everyone supported his methods. One teacher, Franklin Hearn, said in 1988 that his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school.
But Thomas McEntyre, one of the 300 students who were kicked out of Eastside High School, said, “I never really got a chance to... thank you. We are your product. You did not fail us. Although you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me.”
After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called Laying Down the Law. He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.
【1】What can we learn about Eastside High School?
A．It once belonged to a labor camp.
B．Many students were not clever.
C．It was a special school for troubled kids.
D．Many students were from problem families.
【2】What does the underlined word “expel” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Sign up.
B．Search for.
C．Kick out.
D．Focus on.
【3】Who plays a role in the movie Lean on Me?
A．Joe Clark.
B．Ronald Reagan.
C．Morgan Freeman.
D．Thomas McEntyre.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Joe Clark?
A．Cruel.
B．Inspiring.
C．Generous.
D．Hardworking.
23、 Modern agriculture and its ability to feed billions of people may be one of humanity’s greatest achievements. However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you.
In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians – specifically, their “water-scarcity (缺少) footprints”.
The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption（消耗）. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. Using a liter of water in the desert is not the same as using a liter of water in a tropical (热带的) rainforest. The more scarce water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint.
The scientists found that the average Australian’s diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks and beverages – cookies, cakes, sodas and alcohol – accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine (41 liters), a single serving of potato chips (23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate (21 liters). Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the NO.1 priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity footprint.
Climate change is causing droughts and extreme weather. In 2018, Cape Town, South Africa, nearly ran out of water due to a drought. Its freshwater reservoir(水库) stayed at just above 13.5 percent of full capacity. By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council.
So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies.
【1】What do we know about water-scarcity footprints?
A．They are not related to places where we live.
B．They measure how much water one consumes.
C．They count the amount of water a family wastes.
D．They are used to measure water scarcity in the desert.
【2】What could be done first to lower your water scarcity footprint?
A．Stop eating snacks.
B．Go on a diet.
C．Drink less sodas and alcohol.
D．Eat more cookies or cakes.
【3】Why is Cape Town mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A．To praise the efforts made by Cape Town.
B．To explain the reasons for water shortages.
C．To stress the serious situation in Cape Town.
D．To show the harmful effects of climate change.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．It’s easy to feed all the people in the future.
B．We are facing a greater shortage of water than of food.
C．Water shortages may bring about many social problems.
D．Our eating habits could make a difference to water shortages.
24、 A primary school in Wuhan has used new desks and chairs to prevent students from getting short sight. The desks and chairs make students have the correct posture, especially when reading and writing. Each desk has an adjustable steel bar. The bar can help students keep their eyes at least 30cm from books.
Zhang Jianming is headmaster of the primary school. She said the new desks and chairs were provided by an eye care centre in the city. The school carried out a survey last September. It showed that about 7 percent of its 1,093 students said they suffered from short sight.
The new desks and chairs have already improved the students’ posture, but both teachers and students might need more time to get used to them.
Yang Lihua is head of the Wuhan Youth Eye Care Center. She said the desks and chairs were introduced to 19 schools on a trial basis. “During our research into short sight, we noticed that the number of students with short sight was increasing. This is because parents are teaching their children to read and write at a very early age without paying enough attention to their posture,” she said.
Feng Junying is a doctor at Beijing Jingshan School. “I think the new desks and chairs in Wuhan will certainly be helpful,” she said. “But bad reading habits at school are not the only reason for short sight. Children are using mobile phones and iPads when they are very young. This can be another reason for short sight at a young age.”
【1】According to the passage, the adjustable steel bar can help the students keep their eyes ___________ from books.
A. 20cm B. 25cm C. 29cm D. 32cm
【2】The schools in Wuhan introduced the desks with bars to the primary school students in order to _______________.

A. the number of students with short sight is increasing
B. the students don’t get used to the new desks and chairs
C. bad reading habits are not the only reason of the students’ short sight
D. the new desks and chairs are useless for the students to improve their eye sight
【4】 From the passage, a good way to protect our eyesight is to___________________________.
A. buy an adjustable steel bar
B. go to the Youth Eye Care Centre often

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One weekend in August, Daniel and his father drove five hours to camp over night by a lake in the forest. On the way, unfortunately, his father received a phone call from Daniel’s teacher saying Daniel had broken the school rules, and then he started to criticize (批评) Daniel. By the time they reached the lake, Daniel was so angry that he said to his father, “I’m going to find a better place for us to camp” and walked away alone.
With no path to follow, Daniel just walked on for quite a long time. After he had climbed to a high place, he turned around, hoping to see the lake. To his surprise, he saw nothing but forest and a snow capped mountain top. He suddenly realized that he was lost.
“Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!…” he cried. “Help! Help me!...”
No reply. If only he had not left his mobile phone in that bag with his father. Daniel kept moving, but the farther he walked, the more confused he became. As night was beginning to fall, Daniel was so tired that he had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Daniel said to himself, “Hadn’t I walked away angrily, I wouldn’t be trapped in this awful place, facing with the danger of dying.” He regretted with endless anxiety, and then became asleep with shining tears in his eyes.
Daniel rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. He could hear water trickling (滴落) some where in the distance. Quickly he followed the sound to a stream. To his great joy, he saw some apple trees. He ate some. Never in his life had he tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Daniel began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead him to the lake.
注意：1. 续写词数应为120-150；
