22、Kori Doty does not identify “herself” as either male or female and uses the pronoun “they”. Doty gave birth to Searyl Atli at a friend’s home. “I’m raising Searyl in such a way that until they have the sense of self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are. I’m recognising them as a baby and trying to give them all the love and support to be the most whole person that they can be outside of the restrictions that come with the boy box and the girl box.”

The baby has still not been granted a birth certificate.The province only issues a birth certificate that states a gender. Doty has taken one step further — apply for a judicial review. Doty claims a medical examination at birth cannot decide a child’s true gender. “Those assumptions were incorrect, and I ended up having to do a lot of adjustments since then.” The court case is expected to be heard later.

Human rights lawyer barbara findlay, who styles her name without capital letters, said that the genderless health card arrived in the mail and that it is “a big deal and a major step forward”. However, without a birth certificate, Searyl is listed as a non-citizen in the province’s system.

The lawyer argues that it violates the baby’s human right. “There used to be a reason to put sex on birth certificates. You used to need to know that because only men could vote, only men could own property, only men could sit in the Senate, and so on. Those days are long gone,” said Findlay. “...just as we used to have race on birth certificates, but we don’t any more. It’s time to take sex off birth certificates and treat it, like race, as a private matter.”

【1】What will Doty do for her child Searyl Atli?

A．She will fight for the child’s health card.

B．She will help the child grow up healthily.

C．She will treat the child as a twin boy or girl.

D．She will raise the child until they can speak.

【2】What is the problem the child is now facing?

A．Facing a charge from court.

B．Enjoying no human rights.

C．Being given wrong a gender test.

D．Being offered no birth certificate.

【3】Why should the child be granted a birth certificate according to the lawyer?

A．The child would otherwise be listed as a foreigner.

B．The genderless health card has arrived in the mail.

C．Now there is no need for information of sex on birth certificate.

D．The child’s human rights will be damaged without a birth certificate.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A．No Sex Identity, No Birth Certificate?

B．Boy and girl, Lucky and Happy?

C．Male or Female, Counts or Doubts?

D．No Birth Certificate, No Citizenship?

23、My 21-year-old niece, a second-year undergraduate, mentioned that she watches video lectures offline at twice the normal speed. Struck by this, I asked some other students I know. Many now routinely speed up their lectures when learning offline — often by 1.5 times, sometimes by even more. Speed learning is not for everyone, but there are websites where students discuss how odd it will be once they return to the lecture theatre. One contributor wrote: “Normal speed now sounds like drunk speed.”

Education was adapting to the digital world long before Covid-19 but, as with so many other human activities, the pandemic has given learning a huge push towards the virtual. Overnight, schools and universities closed and teachers and students had to find ways to do what they do only via the internet. “This is a time for schools and systems to reimagine education without schooling or classrooms,” says Professor Yong Zhao. Dr Jim Watterston in Australia thinks that, while the traditional classroom is still alive and well, education needs to be more adventurous and flexible. Earlier this year, Zhao and Watterston co-authored a paper in which they identified some major changes that should happen in education post-lockdown.

The first concerns the content, which should emphasize such things as creativity, critical thinking and leadership, rather than the collection and storage of information. “For humans to progress in the age of smart machines, it is essential that they do not compete with machines.”, they wrote, “Instead, they need to be more human.”

The second is that students should have more control over their learning, with the teacher’s role shifting from instructor to supervisor of learning resources, advisor and motivator. This is where so-called “active learning” comes in with a growing body of research suggesting that comprehension and memory are better when students learn in a hands-on way — through discussion and interactive technologies, for example. It’s also where the concept of “productive failure” applies. Professor Manu Kapurin argues that students learn better from their own or others’ failed attempts to solve a problem before or even instead of being told how to solve it.

If the progress of the times is unable to hold back the coming revolution in education, it seems unlikely that the traditional classroom is going to have any luck in its attempts trying to turn back the clock. As Laurillard puts it, “It took a global pandemic to drive home what we’ve been saying for 20 years.”

【1】By giving examples of “speed learning” in the first paragraph, the author wants to show that _________.

A．digital world is dramatically reforming the way of learning.

B．speed learning completely replaces normal speed learning.

C．returning to the lecture theatre is strange after speed learning.

D．education begins to adapt to digital world after Covid-19.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．It is essential for smart machines to be more human.

B．Students should possess more information about creativity.

C．Students value others’ failure over their own failure.

D．“Active learning” calls for diverse ways of involvement.

【3】According to Zhao and Watterston, the major changes in education should include _________.

①learning mode       ②learning motive             ③learning attitude               ④learning focus

A．①④

B．②③

C．①③

D．②④

【4】According to the passage, what does the author most probably agree with?

A．Speed learning harms students’ learning efficiency.

B．The coming revolution in education is irreversible.

C．Teachers will play a less important role in the future.

D．The traditional classrooms will eventually disappear.
