26、   No one ever said science education was easy. Certainly the concepts we teach, like conservation of momentum (动量守恒) or quantum mechanics (量子力学)，can be hard to grasp. But what really makes our reaching complicated is that we're also trying to teach a deeper lesson at the same time — to help students understand the nature of science itself.

All too often, young people get the impression that science is about learning certain "laws" and then applying them to different situations. After all, that's what we make them do on tests, to show that they've been doing the work. But that's not it at all. Science is the process of building these concepts through the collection of experimental evidence.

And while I'm on it let's call these concepts what they really are — not laws, but models. Science is all about building and testing models. It's difficult to help students understand that aspect of science when we just give them the models to begin with. Sure, in physics we often include historical or mathematical evidence to support big ideas, but that often isn't enough.

Of course, we can't start from scratch. If students had to build their own models from the ground up, it would be like trying to learn programming by inventing computers. As Isaac Newton is supposed to have said, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We must take models built by others and go from there.

What I'd like to suggest is that this actually provides a great way into the adventure of science and an opportunity to meet our objectives as educators. If you can create a situation that challenges students' assumptions and produces conceptual conflict, that's a great opportunity for learning.

【1】What is the misunderstanding of teaching science?

A．It's complicated.

B．It focuses on the nature of science.

C．It's very difficult.

D．It lies in teaching and testing “laws”.

【2】Which way to teach science is highly recommended by the author?

A．Encouraging students to always start from scratch.

B．Providing students with some models to follow suit.

C．Guiding students to begin with models built by others.

D．Offering students proof to support important concepts.

【3】The author cites Isaac Newton's words to              .

A．justify the experiment

B．praise the statement

C．show the achievement

D．support the argument

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Science teaching

B．Concept building

C．Science learning

D．Concept conflicting

27、   Claude Monet was born in Paris, France, on November 14,1840. By the time he was fifteen, Monet had become popular as a caricaturist. Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858, Monet met Eugene Boudin, a landscape painter. Boudin introduced Monet to outdoor painting, an activity that soon became his life’s work.

Monet was interested in natural light, atmosphere, and color, and recorded them in his paintings as accurately as possible. A striking example of his early style was the Terrace at St. Adresse, which contained a shining mixture of bright, natural colors.

Monet exhibited regularly in the group shows. His painting Impression: Sunrise inspired a newspaper critic Louis Leroy to call all of the artists in the group “impressionists,” and the name stuck.

Monet gradually gained critical and financial success during the late 1880s and the 1890s. This was due to the efforts of Durand-Ruel, who sponsored one-man exhibitions of Monet’s work.

During the 1890s he devoted his energy to paintings of haystacks. In these works Monet painted his subjects from the same physical position, allowing only the light and weather conditions to vary from picture to picture. By 1899 he began to work on his famous paintings of the water lilies in his garden at Giverny, France.

Monet’s late years were very difficult. His health declined rapidly, and he was almost blind. Besides, he struggled with the problems of his art. In 1920 he began to work on twelve large canvases of water lilies, which he planned to give to his country. To complete them, he fought against his own failing eyesight and the fact that he had no experience in creating large-scale mural art. In fact, the task required him to learn a new kind of painting at the age of eighty. The painting was characterized by a broad, sweeping style and depended almost entirely on color.

Monet died on December 5,1926,at his home. He once wrote, “My only merit lies in having painted directly in front of nature, seeking to express my impressions of the fleeting effects.” Most art historians believe that Monet accomplished much more than this. He helped change the world of painting by shaking off the convention of the past. By dissolving forms in his works, Monet opened the door for further abstraction in art and influenced such later artists as Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.

【1】Who helped Monet find his life’s work?

A.Eugene Boudin. B.Durand-Ruel. C.Louis Leroy. D.Mark Rothko.

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Monet tended to paint haystacks from different positions.

B.The painting Terrace at St. Adresse reflects Monet’ s late style.

C.The name “impressionist” originated from Impression: Sunrise.

D.Durand-Ruel was so interested in Monet’ s paintings that he bought a lot.

【3】What do we know about Monet’ s late years?

A.He failed to learn a new painting skill due to old age.

B.Monet made a fortune by selling canvases to his country.

C.Monet came across difficulties in creating large-scale mural art.

D.Monet committed himself to maintaining traditional painting style.

【4】What might be the best title of this passage?

A.A great artist-Claude Monet B.Claude Monet and Impressionism

C.Brilliant achievements of Monet D.The greatest painter in the world

28、   Why can people speaking the same language have such different accents? The short answer： new accents begin to develop when isolated(隔绝的) groups of speakers start making nearly unnoticeable changes to the way they pronounce words.

“Accent development is the first step in language change. Fifteen hundred years ago, languages like English, Dutch and Swedish were actually all dialects of the same language, but of course then they changed overtime.” Jonathan Harrington, a linguist(语言学家) in University of Munich, is interested in how accents first get started. But because of global communication, most communities are no longer linguistically isolated, and recording equipment didn't exist back when more of them were.

So how to capture the early stages of accent formation today? Harrington and his team turned to members of the British Antarctic Survey, who speak with a variety of English accents. “When you are in Antarctica during the winter period, there is no way in and no way out. So they were isolated together and they had to communicate and cooperate with each other.” Harrington's team recorded the winterers reciting a list of words before they left for Antarctica. Then, while there, the winterers recorded themselves saying the same words four more times. The linguists then analyzed the recordings.

Even during their short time in Antarctica, the way the winterers produced certain vowels (元音) began to converge. For example, at the beginning of the study, some people produced the /u/ in “food” at the front of the mouth while others used the back of the mouth. But they began to sound more similar overtime.

Harrington says the research isn't just relevant for understanding Earth's colonial past. He thinks there's every reason to expect long isolation will cause astronauts on Mars missions to end up with an out﹣of﹣this world accent.

【1】What makes it hard to know how accents first started?

A.The lack of recordings in the past.

B.The isolation of most communities.

C.The fast development of new accents.

D.The big number of dialects of the same language.

【2】What does the underlined word “converge” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Become simpler.

B.Become similar.

C.Get worse.

D.Get improved.

【3】What may happen to astronauts returning from the Mars after a long stay there?

A.They feel much lonelier than ever before.

B.They can't understand their mother tongue.

C.They speak with accents quite different from the locals'.

D.They don't have any difficulty adjusting to the life on Earth.

【4】Where is text probably from?

A.A guide book.

B.A news report.

C.A magazine.

D.A history book.

29、Sitting straight at his desk, Sami Sabeaallil turns on the lights, places his mobile phone on a selfie stick and starts greeting his viewers. “Hi everyone, this is Sami,” he says in Chinese. “I will recommend you some toys tonight…”

Every day, Sami livestreams (网络直播) on Douyin (China’s domestic version of TikTok) for one or two hours, promoting his toys to Chinese buyers. Based in Yiwu City, the world’s largest trading center for daily consumer goods in East China’s Zhejiang Province, the 22-year-old said he is likely the first foreigner to get into livestream selling in Yiwu and take advantage of China’s skyrocketing e-commerce industry.

Sami has been selling his toys on his Douyin account since last June. Most of his videos are about his products or show him hanging around Yiwu’s markets and cracking jokes. For a video he published last October, he invited dozens of foreigners from various countries to express their love for China, which got nearly 30,000 likes.

As a young Chinese-speaking foreigner, Sami attracts much attention on China’s social media. He now has only about 28,000 followers on Douyin but his goal is to have 10 million followers within two years.

The COVID-19 pandemic is severely hitting the economy of many countries and has caused great losses among Yiwu’s producers and suppliers. Sami decided to try livestreaming and look for more Chinese domestic buyers via Douyin. As an owner of a Yiwu-based toy company, Sami used to have half of his orders from overseas. However, overseas orders have not been satisfactory in the past year, so he is gradually shifting his business to Chinese market as the epidemic situation in China has largely improved.

A few potential buyers have reached Sami and one of them bought over 100,000 yuan ($14,860) of toys from him, which Sami described as “a good beginning.”

Sami is not the only foreigner in Yiwu interested in livestreaming promotion. According to Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College, quite a few of its 140 overseas students say they will try livestreaming e-commerce industry after graduation.

The college is offering its overseas students courses on China’s livestream selling market, which include how to attract more followers, how to select suitable products, how to interact with audiences and how to shoot and edit short videos.

【1】Why did Sami start livestreaming?

A．To increase the sales of his toys.

B．To build a reputation in his field.

C．To catch up with the Internet trend.

D．To be the first foreign livestreamer.

【2】What do we know about Sami’s videos on Douyin?

A．They made him world famous.

B．They showed his love for China.

C．They attracted a number of followers.

D．They recorded people’s lives in Yiwu.

【3】What is the consequence of COVID-19 for Sami?

A．He has closed down his toy company.

B．His overseas orders decreased by half.

C．The number of his followers has fallen sharply.

D．He makes efforts to attract more Chinese buyers.

【4】What is the function of the last paragraph?

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

35、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?

Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.

This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.

So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?

With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.

Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

A merchant sent his son to learn the secret of happiness from the wisest of men. The young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the wise man that the young man was looking for.

However, instead of finding the holy man, our hero entered a room and saw a great deal of activity: merchants coming and going, people chatting in the corners, a band playing sweet music, and there was a table with different kinds of delicious food on it. The wise man talked to everybody, and the young man had to wait for two hours until it was time for him.

The wise man listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have the time to explain to him the secret of happiness. He offered his suggestion that the young man take a walk around his castle and come hack in two hours' time.

"However, I want to ask you a favor," he added, handing the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. "While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill(溢出).

The young man began to walk around the castle, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.

"So," asked the wise man, "did you see the beautiful curtains hanging from the windows of my dining room? Did you see the garden that the master of gardeners took ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful furniture in my library?"

Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing. His only concern was not to spill the drops of oil the wise man had given him.

"So, go hack and see the wonders of my world," said the wise man. "You can’t trust a man if you don't know his house.
