21、Involving little rote learning, a new teaching approach is becoming popular where teachers encourage debate and discussion in the classroom. How will students cope with this inspiring style of teaching? One way is through critical thinking, which is a necessary skill.

The easiest way to learn to think critically is to force yourself to question everything, according to Michael Tabachnick, a physics professor at Delaware Valley College. “That does not mean you can’t believe, but you must question. Is it true? Is it opinion? Is it justified by the fact?. . . Students eventually learn to analyze,” Tabachnick said.

Young learners constantly ask questions because they are curious about the world that remains unknown to them. But this natural curiosity disappears with time.

However, questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they are the ones who have been educated, and have a lot more experience and knowledge than students.

When I taught in a college in Scotland, I enjoyed answering students’ questions. Some of my students posted difficult queries (问题). I didn’t always know the answers. If I didn’t, I’d admit it and try to find out later.

I still remember when I was at university, my peers and I were encouraged to challenge each other and our professors. A student would write a paper on a subject, and fellow students would criticize it. It could be very challenging. But it was a way of developing critical thinking and logical thinking. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking. Some people don’t have a logical mind, but they do have emotional intelligence, which is also important for critical thinking. People with high emotional intelligence can understand other people’s feelings, communicate properly with them, and read their personalities. If you can’t at least try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, how can you understand their situations, their problems and their issues?

So, try to develop your power of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don’t believe everything you read or see. Think for yourself.

【1】Which of the following is an example of an inspiring style of teaching?

A．Students are organized to have some discussion.

B．Students are asked to recite some historical facts.

C．Students are required to copy some historical facts.

D．Students are quizzed on some famous people in history.

【2】How can you develop critical thinking as Michael Tabachnick says?

A．Have a debate on a subject.

B．Do not believe anything.

C．Discuss a topic with classmates.

D．Ask a question and analyze.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The fault in the answer I gave.

B．The fact that I didn’t know the answers.

C．The good questions that students asked.

D．The answers that I needed to find out later.

【4】How can emotional intelligence help critical thinking?

A．People with high emotional intelligence are open-minded.

B．People with high emotional intelligence are good at criticizing.

C．High emotional intelligence helps people understand others better.

D．High emotional intelligence helps people think in a more logical way.

22、   The classic model of education — a burst at the start and company training — is breaking down. One reason is the need for new and constantly updated skill. Manufacturing increasingly calls for brain work rather than manual labor.

Pushing people into ever-higher levels of formal education at the start of their lives is not the way to handle the problem. Just 16% of Americans think that a four-year college degree prepares students very well for a good job. Although a vocational education promises that vital first hire, those with specialized training tend to withdraw from the labor force earlier than those with general education perhaps because they are less adaptable.

At the same time on-the-job training is shrinking. In America and Britain it has fallen by roughly half in the past two decades. Self-employment is spreading, leaving more people to take responsibility for their own skills. Taking time out later in life to pursue a formal qualification is an option, but it costs money and most colleges are meant for youngsters.

The market is innovating to enable workers to learn and earn in new ways. Providers from General Assembly to Pluralsight are building businesses on the promise of improving careers. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have turned away from lectures on Plato or black holes in favor of courses that make their students more employable. At Udacity and Coursera self-improvers pay for cheap, short programs. By offering degrees online, universities are making it easier for professionals to polish their skills. A single master’s program from Georgia Tech could expand the annual output of computer-science master’s degrees in America by close to 10%.

Lifelong learning starts at school. As a rule, education should not be narrowly vocational. The curriculum needs to teach children how to study and think. A focus on “metacognition” (元认知) will make them better at picking up skills later in life.

【1】Which is the reason why traditional education is failing?

A.It bursts educators’ bubble in the beginning. B.Companies can’t afford training fees.

C.Old skills can’t meet the present needs. D.It fails to develop one’s brain.

【2】What can we infer from the text?

A.The more knowledgeable one is, the more likely he is to be employed.

B.Most Americans are poor at their studies in the college.

C.More than 80% of Americans have to be self-employed now.

D.Returning to college after working is not considered worthwhile.

【3】What does the underlined word “innovating” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Reforming its system. B.Declining little by little.

C.Booming all at once. D.Wasting time and energy.

【4】How do colleges adapt to the present education model?

A.They open online courses. B.They provide easier access to updated skills.

C.They pay for cheap short programs. D.They lower the standard for master’s degree.

23、How to Plan the Perfect Vacation

When you are looking to enjoy the perfect vacation, the best thing you can do is to plan your trip in advance. Travel is so important because it lets you see the world as much as possible.【1】The way to do this is to plan out the trip, and take the opportunity to maximize the experience you have while you’re here.

Packing is the most annoying part of the vacation process, but it is also a necessary part.【2】But coming up with some kind of packing structure or plan will help a lot. You will be able to ensure that the process is less stressful.

【3】This means doing a bit of research into what there is to do and see when you are on your travels. Planning out your sightseeing and tourist activities is so important for getting the most fulfilled trip possible.

Another thing you need to keep in mind is how much spending money you are going to need on your travels. Taking too little with you is going to put a dampener (令人扫兴的事) on your trip.【4】This is really important for ensuring you get to enjoy all the things you want to.

As you can see, there are so many wonderful ways of being able to plan and achieve the ideal vacation experience. These will help improve your vacation plans.【5】

A．There are a lot of things you might need to pack.

B．So you need to bring enough money in advance.

C．This is something you need to keep in mind moving forward.

D．Seeing the world is vital to improve your cultural experiences.

E．Maybe the whole point of your vacation is to do nothing but relax.

F．Sightseeing is also a pretty important part of any vacation experience.

G．These will also help assess the right ways of having a perfect vacation.

24、The Best Films of 2022

Tar

Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tar. She is widely considered as one of the greatest living composer-conductors and first-ever female music director of a German orchestra. It is an unfolding thriller about a brilliant artist who’s destroyed by her own appetites. So many of the people who see “Tar” come away believing that Lydia Tar actually exists.

The Fabelmans

Spiclberg was right to wait this long to tell the story of his youth on film. He has made a vivid and well-structured biography that looks back in love and anger. The movie not only aches at memories of watching the separation of his parents, but also tells teen tales of romance and prejudice. And we can feel Spielberg’s enthusiasm in the medium he would revolutionize.

Turn Every Page

If Lizzic Gottlicb’s documentary about Robert Caro and Robert Gottlicb were just a piece of good-old-days literary work, it wouldn’t be a deep and satisfying movie. Robert Caro, who is an outstanding author of “The Power Broker”, and Robert Gottlieb, the legendary editor who has guided all of Caro’s books, emerge as stimulating giants. What unites them is their devotion to the civilizing glory of the word.

The Musical

The plot of the movie is about Evan, a New York kid suffering from his parents’ divorce, as he tries to absorb himself into small-town Indiana and stage a successful Coming-of-Age Day. The more we see the movie directed by Tamra Davis, the more we will be addicted to the magic of the songs and the energy released by the musical sequences.

【1】What is the setting of the first movie Tar?

A．Germany history.

B．Literary world.

C．Classical music.

D．Indiana culture.

【2】Which movie would you choose if you like documentary?

A．Tar.

B．The Musical.

C．Turn Every Page.

D．The Fabelmans.

【3】What do the movies The Fabelmans and The Musical have in common?

A．They are both shot in New York.

B．They focus on teenagers’ school life.

C．They are both biographies of the directors.

D．They show the influence of parents’ relationship.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的 短文。

Grady and his family go camping every summer. As it was becoming hotter, here came the camping time.

Having planned the camp long, the family finally decided the destination --- the Great National Forest. With food, necessity and cookers loaded onto the car, the family squeezed into the car. The car door closed, heat was shut outside.

In the car, Jared, Grady's younger brother was playing with a toy dinosaur, making great noise. Grady's mother talked excitedly with his father. On settling in the car, Grady put on the earphone and turned on the music. He neither wanted to join his brother nor joined any talk. After what seemed to be hours, the car stopped where they headed. Grady threw down his backpack and slammed the car door.

“This will be a lengthy week,“ he said unhappily to no one in particular. He looked around the campground. Hundreds of tall and green fir trees, some as tall as church towers, covered the mountainside like a green carpet. The sun would be setting soon. Grady thought maybe the heat wouldn't be unbearable. But actually now in the mountain, the hot stickiness of July was closely attached to him.

Grady hated camping, but it was something his family stuck to every summer. His father liked cooking over an open air, telling stories about how to survive things like bear attacks and bites of bees. His mother and Jared liked to hike and take pictures of animals. Jared had a collection of bug pictures that he had pinned to the walls in his half of their room. Grady thought they were just scary and proof that Jared was a strange kid.

They set up camp - two tents, one for his parents and one for himself and Jared. While everyone else started preparing dinner, Grady, looking for some place to cool down, set off for the nearby stream, which was deep enough to swim in.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As Grady got close to the stream, an adorable bear cub (幼崽)caught his eye.
