21、“Don't delete your browser (浏览器) history,” Lin Kai warns his 11-year-old son, who is supposed to be having lectures delivered by his schoolteachers. Mr. Lin has reason to be anxious.
To contain the spread of Covid-19, the authorities have closed schools and universities. “But study must not stop,” says the education ministry. Under its orders, the country's biggest exercise in remote learning is under way, watched over by parents. Mr. Lin, who lives in the eastern city of Hangzhou, has caught his son being distracted by online games. He wants his son to know that he will inspect the browser for evidence of such naughtiness.
There are other ways to enforce discipline. Liu Weihua, who teaches at Wuhan University of Technology, places more emphasis on how students perform in classroom discussions, which are conducted using video-conferencing platforms such as Ding talk by Alibaba and Ketang by Tencent.
The interruption is felt most keenly by pupils in the final year of secondary school. That is the year leading up to the Gaokao, the university-entrance exam. Many parents feared that online learning is a poor substitute for classroom instruction. Hou Kaixuan, who will sit the Gaokao in the northern city of Zhangjiakou this summer, eagerly waits for the re-opening of his school. “I'm simply more productive in a physical classroom,” he says.
When schools and universities eventually re-open, classrooms may be different, says Yue Qiu, a secondary-school teacher in Beijing. The teacher-student relationship will become “less hierarchical (等级分明的)”, he predicts. That is because China's extended experiment' with online learning is reducing the typical reserve (矜持) between instructor and pupil. Teachers who were previously reluctant to give out their contact details on WeChat, a messaging app, now rely on it to respond to students' questions. At Mr. Yue's school, students may even call their teachers to ask for feedback. If he is right, such a breaking-down of barriers could be one of the few happy by products of Covid-19.
【1】What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Frightened.
B．Attracted.
C．Admitted.
D．Impressed.
【2】In Hou Kaixuan's opinion, online classes can be described as ________.
A．excellent
B．productive
C．informal
D．inefficient
【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．When schools reopen, teachers and students will probably feel awkward.
B．Teachers and students are willing to contact each other on WeChat.
C．The relationship between teachers and students may become better.
D．Students may ask their teachers for feedback in real classrooms.
22、Despite many public health campaigns to highlight various problems with sugary drinks, we drink them a lot. But, not everyone consumes them. Two new studies shed light on the fact that some of us easily fall victim to the harms of sugary drinks than others.
Though sugary drinks are everywhere, some people find them harder to resist and the first study, conducted by professor Joshua McGreen at Flinders University, sought to understand why. For the research, 128 young adults of 17 to 25 completed a computer test evaluating their attitudes about soft drinks, measured against their soft drink consumption. The study showed that the more unconscious positive judgments individuals had of soft drink advertising, the more soft drink they consumed. It also found that a lack of inhibitory control, which is the cognitive process that allows us to control our desires — say, to buy a nice-tasting soft drink even though we know it’s unhealthy — was also a factor in increased consumption.
A second study provides clues about who is more easily influenced by the marketing strategies. The study found that soft drink companies, like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, have multi-billion dollar advertising and marketing budgets aimed to “create, maintain and increase consumer demand around benefits related to happiness, social status etc.”. These campaigns are “increasingly being directed at disadvantaged groups”, including children and adolescents generally, and people living in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Soft drinks, even “zero-sugar” ones, are typically high in calories, but of little nutritional benefit. Placing a tax on sweet drinks may be one strategy to reduce people’s consumption. McGreen also suggests that people develop strong self-control of soft drink consumption. It’s something he wants to research further. He adds, “I would also like to ban advertisements for soft drinks for sports or programs that appeal to children. It is specially important for sports people to stop being walking billboards for junk food and drinks.”
【1】What do the two new studies focus on?
A．The harm of sugary drinks.
B．The popularity of sugary drinks.
C．The consumers of sugary drinks.
D．The profit made by sugary drinks.
【2】Who are most likely to buy sugary drinks according to McGreen?
A．Those who have a good spending habit.
B．Those who can control their desires well.
C．Those who have a good impression of soft drinks.
D．Those who have no interest in soft drink advertising.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The warning against the consumption of soft drinks.
B．Suggestions on reducing the consumption of soft drinks.
C．The importance of sports stars in advertising soft drinks.
D．Plans to research into self-control of soft drink consumption.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.
C．Education.
D．Sports.
23、Volunteer opportunities for high school students
This year, high school students everywhere are suffering the loss of proms, graduation ceremonies, and everyday joys because of COVID-19. And yet, sometimes the ideal way to pull yourself away from your struggles is to find a selfless job. What follows are ways you can be of service from the safety of your own home.
Provide virtual COVID-19 assistance
Something as simple as becoming a digital advocate for the Red Cross can allow teens to make an impact on the crisis. This can involve actions like simply sharing Red Cross content across social media platforms or organizing an online fundraiser. Points of Light can connect you to a host of pandemic-oriented causes including writing letters to health care workers, or reducing food stress for needy families in your area.
Instruct students online
Low-income and minority students have suffered great educational losses during the pandemic, as technological barriers and under-resourced urban schools have only increased an already tragic achievement gap. TeensGive.org allows individuals in 9th-12th grade many opportunities to instruct peers online.
Become a translator
If you happen to be bilingual, there are plenty of ways in which you can contribute to a great cause right from your computer. For example, UNICEF presently needs five COVID-19-related documents translated from English to French. You could also consider joining the army of TED Translators who work on subtitling the inspirational videos so that they can be enjoyed by audiences around the globe.
File historical documents
Fans of history may be interested in becoming citizen file collectors for a non-profit organization such as the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Would you enjoy transcribing speeches made by Franklin Roosevelt, or cataloging Purple Hearts awarded between 1942 and 1963? These tasks are awaiting the help of virtual volunteers right now. During this tough time, just follow the words of Teddy Roosevelt to "do the best you can, with what you have, where you are". Online volunteer work may prove to be exactly that.
【1】To help those with great educational losses, which of the following can we contact?
A．UNICEF.
B．TeensGive.org.
C．Points of Light.
D．The National Archives in Washington D.C.
【2】Which opportunity best suits those who enjoy the speeches of celebrities?
A．Providing virtual COVID-19 assistance.
B．Instructing students online.
C．Becoming a translator.
D．Filing historical documents.
【3】What do the four volunteer jobs have in common?
A．They can help raise funds.
B．They offer necessary training.
C．They allow one to work online.
D．They help people with COVID-19.
24、“I’ve never met a human worth cloning，” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13yearold dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year — or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous，” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy’s mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He’s plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin’s work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans，” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet？”
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about animal cloning?
A. Few private cloning companies could afford it.
B. Few people have realized its significance.
C. An exact copy of a cat or bull can be made.
D. It is becoming a prosperous industry.
【2】From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. Mr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soon
B. scientists are pessimistic about human cloning
C. human reproductive system has not been understood
D. rich people are only interested in cloning animals
【3】Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning ________.
A. is stupid and should be abandoned
B. has been close to success
C. should be taken cautiously
D. is now in a dilemma
25、Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the ________ of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in ________ the paths of storms.
Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network ________ 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized ________ takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.
These ________ are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen, giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. Most ________, on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.
If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will ________ severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. ________, the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is ________ when severe weather is around.
On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation (降水量) map, ________ from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your ________ area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerous lightning have been reported.
When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, ________ wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado ________. Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, ________ which areas needed to be warned.
Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek ________ before the storm hit. Paying attention to your local weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.
