21、   People learn in different ways, and out of many forms of learning, one of particularly interesting—that is visual learning. Visual learners remember what they read over what they hear, and learn through sight. They are interested in using graphs and drawings to understand ideas.

【1】

While everyone has their own preference for learning, studies show that most people are visually inclined（有倾向的）. 【2】 And thus, whenever people see pictures, those pictures are kept in the long-term memory, allowing them to recall concepts and ideas.

Visual learners can learn effectively in many ways. First of all, a to-do list is a highly regarded technique. 【3】 Even if you’re not a visual learner, a to-do list can let you order tasks based on importance and improve your productivity.

【4】 The idea is to display relationships and connections to people, places events and more. This technique helps with the learning of particular concepts.

Videos can easily catch people’s attention and allow us to recreate those stories into clear pictures in our minds. 【5】 In addition to recording the lecturers or their words, you can also record yourself and make videos explaining certain concepts. This plays a great role in the learning process.

A．These attract the attention of the individual.

B．So why not include them in your learning?

C．And they get used to taking notes during class.

D．Why can visual learning help with effective learning?

E．The brain processes pictures faster than it does with words.

F．With so many things to do, it makes sense to get them organized in to-do lists.

G．Moreover, mind-mapping is a form of note-taking that benefits visual learning.

22、One evening, a man was on his way home when he saw a woman come by, hauling a cart full of flowers. The smell of her flowers perfumed the air with sweetness so easily that it seemed to lift his spirits. He had never experienced such wonder from the flowers of his own garden. "How much must I pay for your wonderful flowers?" he asked. "Take what you wish for." "What return must I make for them?" he asked again. "Your gratitude is enough." She said. So he filled his arms with flowers and hurried joyfully home. His wife and children also liked the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of

them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.

In order not to lose his treasure. the man planted the flowers in his garden. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful and they still performed their powerful magic. When his children came to play in the yard, the man cautioned them against carelessness and wild play in case they damage the flowers. But the flowers remained hardy and strong as long as there are enough sun and moisture to nourish them.

As the family grew and more children came to play in the garden, the man was even more concerned about his remarkable flowers. He even built a high wall to protect them with the utmost care. Unfortunately, this began to cause consternation among the family members. If the children caused their father stress, he would refuse them access to the flowers. Later, he set up rules as to who could enter the garden and what they must do while they were there. He also established offices to determine accessibility. Eventually, it became necessary to have lawyers to defend, judges to weigh, guards to safeguard.

The man's family, however, saw less and less of the flowers and experienced less and less of their magical power. In the meantime, many of them went out in search of the flower lady. Well, she was still out there, still giving away her amazing flowers.

23、Sir Elton John, the 73-year-old music legend, was the subject of one of the top films of 2019, and it has now been confirmed he's set to give fans an even deeper insight into his crazy life with a new documentary, which is believed to include many of the parts left out of the movie.

According to a newspaper, “The Pillars of Hercules”, which is inspired by Elton’s middle name Hercules, will cover events set in the 70s, including never-before-seen backstage footage of the singer and the late Beatles legend John Lennon.

Elton's long-time guitarist Davey Johnstone has been working on the documentary for years and is now hoping to do a deal with Netflix. A source told the newspaper: “The documentary features stories within the Elton John Band which weren't shown in the previous film. Davey has got the approval from Elton.” Davey previously put the documentary on hold for six years to avoid it clashing with both the movie and Elton’s concert tour.

He told the “Greatest Music of All Time” podcast, “It was entirely right that I should do that as I did not want to get in the way of those projects. I had a lovely conversation with Elton the other day in which he was really happy that I was going ahead and doing it again. Quite honestly I would never do anything, especially of a documentary nature, about anything we did without them being OK with it. So with this documentary we are painstakingly making the final decision right now because of putting together all the last things we need. There arc two more interviews we are looking to get and we will probably be finished with all the recording by late January and then we will go into editing and we will be ready about Easter.”

【1】What could be inferred about the documentary?

A．Its name was inspired by a film about Elton.

B．It has been finished and will be ready by Easter.

C．The performance of Beatles might be seen in the documentary.

D．It includes content which was shown in the 2019 movie about Elton.

【2】What docs the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Having different opinions.

B．Happening at the same time.

C．Competing against each other.

D．Disagreeing seriously with others.

【3】What’s the text mainly about?

A．An introduction to a film about Elton.

B．Untold stories between Elton and the Beatles.

C．Elton's secrets to his extraordinary career in music.

D．Information of an upcoming documentary about Elton.

24、Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing?

Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.

“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Maroon 5 album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”

Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.

Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of mutual trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic (民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.

“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”

【1】Which of the following indicates that the generation gap is disappearing?

A．Parents share more interests with their children.

B．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.

C．Parents and children get involved in the same activities.

D．Parents believe in their children’s abilities more than before.

【2】What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship?

A．More confusion among parents.

B．Less gratitude to parents from children.

C．New equality between parents and children.

D．More strictness and expectations of parents.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean according to the author?

A．Today’s parents can set a limit to the change.

B．Today’s parents follow the trend of the change.

C．Today’s parents don’t take the change seriously.

D．Today’s parents can hardly adjust to the change.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A description of difficulties today’s parents meet with.

B．Predictions of the parent-child relationship in the future.

C．Suggestions on how to handle the parent-child relationship.

D．A discussion on the development of the parent-child relationship.
