21、As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more?In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen,I find I often can’t remember how to write a character,though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting,people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities,some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

22、 I grew up in a middle-class household in Australia. In terms of safety and standard of living，a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew，and as a result，I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday，and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia. I had never been overseas before，and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia，but something inside of me knew l needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on S7. 25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain，saving every penny I earned. Just days before the trip was set to depart，I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia. I vividly recall the sight of malnourished （营养不良）children begging for money tearing at my heart. I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city，home to thousands of families，many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days，I played with children who，despite living in hard conditions, were overflowing with joy and happiness. I met families who，despite having nothing，were some of the kindest people I'd ever met. For the first time，my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money. People here were rich in relationships and community，and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip，I began to see the value of learning from people of other races，cultures and religions. I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one，and experienced first-hand the beauty of human diversity.

A. Upset B. Bored

B. They were poor but had their simple pleasure
C. They struggled very hard to become rich.
D. They were really bad at building relationships.
【4】What was the biggest benefit the author got from the trip?
A. She got some work experience.
B. She learnt to be independent.
C. She made friends with some locals.
D. She learned about the outside world.
23、 A primary school in Britain has put up signs to warn parents, who are addicted to playing with their phones, to greet their children with a smile rather than stare at their screens. It has become a common sight at the school gates to see children running to their parents, only to find them absorbed in reading news and e-books online, or watching their favorite videos.
Now the headmaster at a primary school in Middlesbrough has put up signs at three entrances to the school. The signs say "Greet your children with a smile, not a mobile. " and a woman holding a phone to her ear is crossed out in a red circle. The headmaster said, “We are trying to develop students' speaking and listening skills and we think it is a simple way to get the message across. It isn't only an issue among patents, but also emphasizes that speaking and listening can help students to have discussions."
The move had different responses. Danielle Parker, a parent, said, "I think the signs are unacceptable because most parents pick their children up with phones." Another parent said, "It's a good thing. Greeting children with smiles can also develop the relationship between parents and children." Some parents when questioned were hesitant about the signs. Landon Bradley, a pupil, said he agreed with the signs, saying, “Why should children see parents playing their mobile phones all the time?”
Last year, research warned that parents' obsession with cellphones had made some neglected children start primary school unable to hold conversations. Almost a third of children are not ready for the classroom when that start school.
【1】Why does the school put up signs at its entrances?
A.To encourage parents to meet pupils with smiles.
B.To describe a common sight of its school gates.

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Playing with phones.
B.Greeting children.
C.Putting up signs.
D.Smiling.
【3】What may be the effects of parents' obsession with phones?
A.It may reduces pupils' time spent on phones.
B.It may discourage students from working hard.
C.Il may make students be addicted to computer games.
D.It may cause children to lack the ability to communicate.
【4】What is the author's attitude to the signs put up by the school?
A.Approving.
B.Opposed.
C.Objective.
D.Indifferent.
24、The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.
Like Antarctica, the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading －125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.
One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature — the killing chill of far North and the polar South.
To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the belowzero temperatures.
Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
What about animals? Can they survive? Do we find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.
Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition (探险) scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own.
Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.
【1】The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded ________.
A. in Antarctica B. in the Arctic
C. at the North Pole D. in the polar region
【2】The main reason why it is almost impossible for men to live in the Arctic and Antarctica is that ________.
A. they are frozen

D. they are extremely cold

A. stay inside the building there
B. have their own way to keep warm
C. are stronger than other people
D. have no heaters and windproof shelters
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The Arctic is colder than Antarctica.
B. The history of the Arctic and Antarctica.
C. The discovery in the Arctic and Antarctica.
D. The environmental features in polar regions.
