21、 While Finland frequently tops international school rankings, Norway, the richest country in North Europe, performs much worse.【1】She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education policies in Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to researchers and educators.
Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have underperformed in science subjects for years.【2】But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example, politicians decide that how much time should be spent on math per semester (学期).
Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the politicians are in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely governed by politicians.【3】
The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic faculties (全体教师) from every university selected their own representatives.【4】The Ministry simply monitored the process. The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the Finnish professional environment.
【5】The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can’t be done overnight and simply copying Finland’s way will be difficult. “Education policies reflect historical and cultural structures in society,”she said.“I think it’s very important that educators and researchers in Norway should be given more room to develop what Norwegian education should be like.”
A.Can Finland’s success be copied?
B.Is Norwegian education system a failure?
C.This has resulted in several educational reforms.
D.They together were responsible for policy changes.
E.The Minister has had a very firm control on the reform.
F.The education policies of the two countries are very similar.
G.Recently, Afdal looked at the differences between Finland and Norway.
22、 What do you want to be when you are growing up? A doctor, an engineer — or maybe a footballer or actor? We all have big plans for our futures and believe there is a dream job waiting for us — one that will pay well and give great job satisfaction. But how realistic is that?
Today, in the UK at least, young people are being warned that some of their career hopes and dreams don’t match the types of jobs available. Research by the charity Education and Employers suggests five times as many 17 and 18 year-olds in the UK want to work in art, culture, entertainment and sport than there are jobs.
The excitement of working in these employment sectors (部门) is obviously an attraction. But those looking for these types of job will be disappointed. That’s what the report, Disconnected: Career ambitions and jobs in the UK, says. Writing about this for the BBC, Katherine Sellgren points out that although young people are keen to work in art, entertainment, culture and sport, the economy is unlikely to need them all. At the same time, there is a shortfall of young people wanting to work in careers such as catering and retail(零售).
Previous research about the career ambitions of young people by the Office for National Statistics also found a “reality gap” between their dreams and the sometimes disappointing truth by the time they reached their early to late-20s. Apart from those who aimed to go into teaching, fewer than one in 50 were in the jobs they had wanted — such as a doctor, vet, firefighter or actor. Most were working as sales assistants, careers or in sales and marketing.
Although it’s good to have ambitions, the aims of young people need to be realistic. This latest report suggests that children need to be made more aware of a wider variety of occupations at a younger age. It also calls for improved career advice in secondary schools. A spokeswoman for the Department for Work and Pensions told the BBC that “early careers advice can help young people set out on the right path to the job that channels their interests and unlocks their potential.”
【1】Which employment sector in the UK needs more people to work in?
A.Sport. B.Service industry.
C.Art & culture. D.Entertainment.
【2】The underlined phrase “ reality gap ” in Paragraph 4 refers to the difference between .
A.ambition and reality B.males and females
C.theory and practice D.the past and the present
【3】What suggestions about employment are NOT given to help young people?
A.They ought to be offered better career advice in secondary schools.
B.They should know more kinds of jobs at an early age.
C.The government should create more jobs for the young.
D.Their employment ambition should be realistic.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Unemployment Problems in Britain
B.Young People’s Lifestyles in Britain
C.Tips for Finding Dream Jobs in Britain
D.Unrealistic Career Ambitions in Britain
23、Finding motivation, especially study motivation, is not always easy. 【1】 Here are some ways of doing it.
Offer yourself encouragement.
Yes, you should give yourself a prize or some kind of reward when you've done a task. 【2】 Remember, you have to know the exact conditions that you need to meet in order to receive the wonderful cake.
【3】
You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!
Write down your goals.
Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down! 【4】 And that's why you find salesmen always want you to write something down before you actually buy something. By writing your name down, you are in a sense giving your support for their cause. If then you are asked to buy what they are selling, you are more likely to do that than if you hadn't signed the paper!
See your goals.
【5】Put them up on the wall and paste small post-it notes all over the place. You have to keep on reminding yourself of the purpose behind your studies and what type of results you're expecting to achieve.
A．Remember past successes.
B．The written word is very powerful.
C．Don't forget about buying yourself a gift.
D．Don't just write them down and leave them like that.
E．Moreover, talking about your goals with others helps a lot.
F．However, with a little effort we can learn how to increase our motivation.
G．It could be something as simple as sweets or something greater like a vacation.
24、Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens(镜头), or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
【1】What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass. B. It enables easy internet access.
C. It can be worn on your clothing. D. It allows of hands-free photography.
【2】What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. touching. B. brief. C. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.
【3】What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The advance in technology. B. The popularity of the Internet.
C. The rise of the smartphone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps. B. A New Digital Camera from Google.
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life. D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.
