21、 If students followed a typical academic plan over the course of the year, it is precisely the opposite of what science recommends for lasting learning—one topic was probably limited to one week and another to the next. It is what it sounds like—leaving time between practice sessions for the same material. You might call it deliberate not-practicing between periods of deliberate practice. Space between practice sessions creates the hardness that improves learning.
Iowa State researchers read people lists of words, and then asked for each list to be recited back either right away, after fifteen seconds of practicing, or after fifteen seconds of doing very simple math problems that prevented practicing. The subjects who were allowed to reproduce the lists right after hearing them did the best. Those who had fifteen seconds to practice before reciting came in second. The group distracted with math problems finished last. Later, when everyone thought they were finished, they were all surprised with a sudden quiz: write down every word you can recall from the lists. Suddenly the worst group became the best.
Short-term practicing gave purely short-term benefits. Struggling to hold on to information and then recall it had helped the group distracted by math problems transfer the information from short-term to long-term memory. The group with more and immediate practicing opportunity recalled nearly nothing on the sudden quiz. Repetition, it turned out, was less important than struggle.
It isn’t bad to get an answer right while studying. Progress just should not happen too quickly. For a given amount of material, learning is most efficient in the long run when it is really inefficient in the short run. If you are doing too well when you test yourself, the simple solution is to wait longer before practicing the same material again, so that the test will be more difficult when you do. Frustration is not a sign that you are not learning,but ease is.
【1】According to the science recommendation, to acquire lasting learning, we should ________.
A.follow a typical academic plan
B.limit the learning process within one week
C.add not-practicing space between two learning sessions
D.create more hardness
【2】In Iowa State research, which group became the best finally?
A.Those who recited the lists right away.
B.Those who had fifteen seconds of practicing.
C.Those who finished the quiz last.
D.Those who were distracted by math problems.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Short- term memory is inefficient.
B.Struggling is helpful to short-term memory.
C.Making progress too quickly may not be a good sign.
D.Getting frustrated means you are learning.
【4】This passage mainly talks about ________.
A.research methods
B.learning strategies
C.math skills
D.academic plans
22、Animal leather alternatives like PVC leather may have solved the fashion industry’s animal cruelty problem, but they are not the most environmentally friendly solutions. Piñatex——a new leather——like material made from pineapple leaves——on the other hand, may just be the all-around eco-leather we’ve all been waiting for.
Piñatex is the invention of Dr. Carmen Hijosa and her modern materials company, Ananas Anam. While working as a consultant to the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines in the 1990s, she discovered the character of pineapple leaf fibers and devoted her life to creating sustainable alternatives to leather. After years of research, Ananas Anam has finally come up with what it believes is an alternative to animal leather——Piñatex. It recently showcased (展示) the different uses of Piñatex during a presentation held at the Royal College of Art in London, where designers displayed various clothing items and decorative items made entirely from the material.
Piñatex is made from bonded fibers that are taken out from pineapple leaves by farmers before they are cut up. These fibers go through an industrial process to make Piñatex. The materials can then be coloured, printed and treated to give it different thicknesses and types of patterns, including leather. The remaining substances created by production can be returned to the farmers to be used as fertilizer on their farms.
Piñatex is still in development, and Dr. Hijosa admits that it will take some time before it becomes market ready. To continue her research and hopefully turn Piñatex into a commercially sustainable alternative to animal leather, Dr. Hijosa is currently trying to secure more funding for Ananas Anam, of which she is the majority owner. She is also looking into other possible uses for Piñatex, including anti-bacterial wound bandages, as the material would allow air to circulate to an injury.
【1】What can we know about “Piñatex” from the passage?
A.It has less impact on environment.
B.It is mostly made from animal leather.
C.It can replace all the fashionable materials.
D.It can solve the problem of animal extinction.
【2】What did the presentation at the Royal College of Art show about Piñatex?
A.A series of problems.
B.A new kind of feature.
C.A variety of functions.
D.A tiny amount of fibers.
【3】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Process of making Piñatex.
B.Methods of applying Piñatex.
C.Advantages of using Piñatex.
D.Reasons for creating Piñatex.
【4】Why does Dr. Hijosa raise funding for Ananas Anam?
A.To make Piñatex well-known soon.
B.To keep the research going smoothly.
C.To explore another scientific research.
D.To become the majority owner of firm.
23、 The American poet Louise Gluck, whose works employ he power of myth to solve some of our darkest human concerns, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Gluck, 77, is the author of 12 collections of poetry, including the poem The Wild Iris, which won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize in poetry. In Averno, a poem that wrestles with the isolation that comes with age, she writes how children "wink at each other" as they "listen to the old one, talking about the spirit because he can't remember the word for chair." In Monologue at Nine A.M., she describes the end of a relationship — "his poached egg staring like a dying eye,hi toast untouched."
Stephanie Burt, an English professor at Harvard University, praised Gluck's ability to explore the foundations of emotions. "She's someone who's been able to make emotional states vivid on the page without sacrificing intellect," said Burt. "A Louise Gluck poem is recognizable: It is almost always in free verse (诗体). It is often, but not always, sad, and it brings us to some kind of realization about the sources or consequences of its feelings."
Born in New York in 1943, Gluck published her first collection of poetry, Firstborn, in 1968, quickly defining her reputation as a poet of remarkable technical precision who employed straightforward language to get at the heart of deep concern: loneliness, rejection, divorce, death.
In the decades since, she has become one of the country's most celebrated literary figures. In addition to the Pulitzer, she won a National Book Award for the collection Faithful and Virtuous Night in 2014.
Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself. And her strongest books are really different from one another," said Burt. "She's someone you can read straight through without getting bored, even though every page sounds like her."
【1】How many poems by Gluck are mentioned in the text?
A.Three.
B.Four.
C.Five.
D.Six.
【2】What can we learn about Gluck from the text?
A.She is the most famous poet of American literature.
B.Most of her works expose the problems of people's life.
C.She won the Nobel Prize because of her creation of myths
D.She was a little-known poet before she won the Nobel Prize.
【3】Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Gluck's poems?
A.Similar contents.
B.Free verse.
C.Vivid emotional sates.
D.Straight forward language.
【4】What is the text mainly about?

B.Gluck's influence on American literature.
C.A Nobel Prize winner and her literary achievements.
D.Different opinions on Gluck wining the Nobel Prize.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon in March: tempura broccoli(天妇罗花椰菜). The man who sent the e-mail didn't actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, who adored the dish. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, one of the Asian restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. "Thanks for reaching out." he wrote. "We'd like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you."
Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was shocked. He e-mailed back, saying, "You do know that this is Vermont we're talking about, right?" said Brandon. But Steve responded, "No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we'll be there."
For the past six years, every time Brandon's mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could have that broccoli. "I really wanted her to have it one more time," Brandon said.
"She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,'" recalled Brandon's wife. Rina Jones.
