26、Scientists and educators in the US and China say it’s important to introduce very young children to new technologies. 【1】 They say that with the right approach, children learn not to be frightened of abstract thinking.

Even before children learn to read and write, they can manipulate — move and control images. 【2】

Mitchel Resnick is co-developer of a code-learning program called Scratch Jr. He says that is exactly what programming is all about.

“Each block tells the character what to do. You snap the blocks together, and you’ve made a computer program. 【3】 This block make the cat go to the right. This one makes the cat jump. By snapping them together I make a computer program that makes it move and then jump.”

Parents decide how much time their children can spend using modern technology. But Sandra Calvert, director of the Children’s Digital Media Center at Georgetown University, says it’s all around us.

“【4】 Just as it’s a worry that there may be too much screen time, there is also a concern that our children will be left behind if they don’t know how to use the technologies that are going to shape the 21st century careers, jobs and how we are going to succeed as a nation.” Children between the ages of 4 and 15 use tools and machines at so-called “maker spaces” in Beijing. The maker space basically serves as an open-access workshop. 【5】 The young people are part of the so-called “maker movement,” a do-it-yourself community connecting people who like to make things with their hands.

A．There, children use tools and machines like 3D printers to create and build projects.

B．Each block has a different behavior.

C．Computer scientists perform lots of research in computer theory and systems.

D．They advise developing skills from computer programming to designing electronic circuits.

E．Tablet computers with touch — sensitive screens are perfect for lining up simple commands.

F．The education and development of our children are extremely important.

G．We live in the digital age.

27、   Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage. B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee. D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

【2】In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juice B.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the US D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

【3】Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

28、The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year

Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2022 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.

Qaanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan

Photographer Kiliii Yuyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.

Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter

It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.

Minneriya. Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton

Photographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.

The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was collapsing in economic decline. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.
