21、Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的) archaeologists(考古学家) of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.
Romans?
“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists(地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (传闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?"
Get involved
This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.

22、When I was growing up, 16 was always a magical age, a symbol of maturity, responsibility and of course more independence and freedom. I sat through the hours of Driver’s Ed classes eager to get out on the road. I couldn’t wait to get my driver’s license.
But it’s a different story for today’s teens. In November 2021 the U.S. Department Transportation released data that showed only 30.7 percent of U.S. teens got their license at age 16. Twenty years before, that number was almost 45 percent.
There are numbers of reasons for the decline. The growing responsibilities like paying for insurance and high gas prices discourage teens from getting behind the wheel. Plus, many teens today are so busy with homework, endless hours of activities and part-time jobs, that finding the time for Driver’s Ed classes may be more difficult than ever.
In addition, many states have raised the driving age, or restricted when teens can drive and who they can have in the car. Parents may also be making their own personal restrictions until they feel their teens are responsible enough to drive safely.
Driving is part of the American culture, but it’s not the central focus like it was 30 years ago. They have so many other things to do now. One of the more interesting factors delaying teens driving might be the change of their social life. Today, teens need to look no further than Facebook or other social networking sites to connect with their friends. There is simply less need, maybe less desire to be able to grab the keys and go.
Michelle Wei got her license as a senior in high school because her digital social life made it easy not to drive. “If I couldn’t get a ride to see my friend who lives a town over,” the 19-year-old said, “I could talk on IM or Skype.”
Research has shown that these online relationships can lead to higher quality friendships, so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it’s important to find a balance. If old face-to-face friendships are good, why not drive to find them?
【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.16 was considered an age when one could get his driver’s license.
B.Getting a driving license at 16 was a must for American teens.
C.Driver’s Ed classes allowed teens to know what maturity was.
D.Teens could drive on the road without taking Driver’s Ed classes.
【2】Which is NOT a fact delaying American teens getting their driving licenses?
A.The cost of insurance and gas.
B.Pursuit of more freedom and independence.
C.Too many school courses and activities.
D.Restrictions from families and states.
【3】Michelle Wei’s example is used to explain ________.
A.why American teens are crazy about digital social life
B.what social networking websites are bringing to American teens
C.what the Internet does to help teens to get a driving license
D.to what degree the Internet is affecting the American car culture
【4】The last paragraph is reminding the readers that________.
A.the Internet has a bad effect on the teen’s social life
B.teens should keep a balance in choosing their lifestyle
C.actual contacts can be replaced by talking on line
D.face-to-face friendship is always the best choice
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Getting a license costs much more than ever before.
B.Social networking sites are changing the life of American teens.
C.Desire to drive on the road declines among American teens.
D.American teens are becoming more responsible than ever.
23、 Most of today’s Chinese Americans are the descendants(后代) of some of the early miners and railroad workers. From the start, the Chinese had lived apart in their own separate neighborhoods. 【1】. In each of them the residents organized an unofficial government to make rules for the community and to settle disputes.
Chinese Americans keep many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example, 【2】. Members of the family lend each other moral support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age, the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family, are passed from the older generation to the young. 【3】.
The high regard for education, which is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, and the willingness to work very hard to gain advancement, are other noteworthy characteristics of theirs. 【4】.
Chinese Americans make up only a tiny part of American population; there are fewer than a million, living chiefly in California, New York, and Hawaii. As American attitudes toward minorities and ethnic differences have changed in recent years, 【5】.
A. the Chinese Americans have gained wide acceptance
B. their family ties continue to be remarkably strong
C. This explains why so many descendants of uneducated laborers have succeeded in becoming doctors, lawyers, and other professionals
D. saving money and passing down their fortune to their young is always the custom
E. This helps to explain why there is so little juvenile delinquency(青少年犯罪) among them
F. Later those came to be known as “Chinatowns”
G. Nowadays, kids are living separately, far away from their parents.
24、What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape? The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 【1】 Such people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 【2】 Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 【3】
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 【4】 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
【5】 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A.Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.
B.Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C.Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D.On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E.Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.
F.Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G.These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.
