26、   Both online learning and distance learning require similar online learning tools, but there the similarity ends.

The key difference between them is location. With online learning, students can be together in the classroom with an instructor while working through their digital lessons and assessments. When using distance learning, students work online at home while the teacher assigns work and checks in digitally.

Next, used as a mixed learning technique along with other teaching strategies, online learning will involve in-person interaction between you and your students on a regular basis. On the contrary, with distance learning you’ll likely rely on digital forms of communication such as messaging apps, video calls, discussion boards, and your school’s learning management system.

Both online learning and distance learning are effective teaching strategies, they do have their own distinct advantages.

To start, online learning can increase student engagement with a variety of instructional resources and teaching methods to deliver content in multiple ways. Second, using online learning tools makes it easier for you to differentiate your instruction. When using tools like digital curriculum, you will have more flexibility and control for differentiating your lessons. Finally, online learning is a time saver. Many digital curriculum tools do the heavy lifting for you by providing ready-to-use lesson plans, instructional materials, and assessments. Many online learning tools also automatically grade those assessments and post them to your teacher dashboard.

Compared to online learning, distance learning can continue without disturbance even in events like snow days or the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, distance learning provides greater flexibility for students to work at their own pace and review work as needed. This also ties in with the fact that students can access your course material at the times that work best for them, which is important for students who may have irregular work schedules.

【1】What’s the distinctive feature of the interaction in online learning?

A.Communicating face to face regularly. B.Interacting via digital apps.

C.Communicating with discussion boards. D.Interacting privately irregularly.

A.① S: highly motivated;   ② S: learn at their own pace

B.① T: deliver different lessons easily;   ② S: enjoy more flexibility

C.① T: do the heavy lifting;   ② T: more accessible

D.① S: enjoy more flexibility;   ② T: regular work schedules

【3】Whom is the text intended for?

A.Parents. B.Students. C.Technicians. D.Teachers.

【4】About the two methods, what will be talked about following the last paragraph?

A.Their advantages. B.Their differences.

C.Their disadvantages. D.Their similarities.

27、Ralph Waldo Emerson was born on May 25, 1803 in Boston, Massachusetts and died from a lung disease on April 27, 1882. Although he was in poor health for most of his adult life, he still created numerous literary works which he later turned into essays. One of his greatest and most influential works was an essay called “Nature”. He also wrote poetry and was a well-known poet in America.

Emerson was a well-educated individual, but some of his ideas were considered to be quite radical (激进的) at the time. In September 1836, Emerson founded the Transcendental Club. He believed in things like self-reliance and individualism. These things were very hard for people to understand at the time. But for Emerson, it was simply an extension of the bigger picture. He had always challenged long-standing beliefs about everything and had always been a front runner when it came to change.

Besides “Nature”, he wrote essays such as “Self-Reliance” and “Circles”. He finished these works by writing as lectures. He was a skilled public speaker, so he would prepare these more like speeches and later edited them to make them read better for the general public. During his early career, he spent most of his time writing essays. But as his health declined, he was forced to change his lifestyle, and began writing some poetry.

Many of his essays and poetry are still popular today, which proves his success as a writer as well as a philosophical thinker. As a result, his works have become something that almost everyone has to read. In reality, he was a progressive thinker that led a number of people into a completely different way of thinking during the 19th century.

I would be up every morning by 5 a.m. and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 a.m., I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My beat spanned 3 kilometers. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers —quickly cat and be off to high school.

One wintry morning in 1945,I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.

I was greeted at the door by Afzal's mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal's father, Mr Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.

Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Later, Mr Kader emerged again, wheeling a new bicycle. "This is for you!" he said.

It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. It felt warm, like home. I didn't realize tears were rolling down my face.

Mr Kader said. Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address. so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you."

I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.

29、The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by mot to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H. G. Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds). Sci-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.

Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”. Even the author’s name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.

What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. The science fiction author’s self-determined role is search the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.

【1】From the first paragraph, we know that science fiction might be ________.

A．a forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankind

B．a brief review of the present drawbacks of technology

C．a thoughtful look at the past and a prediction of the future

D．an analysis of how a new technology could be used to harm human.

【2】Which of the following best describes Nineteen Eighty-Four?

A．A prediction of future technologies.

B．A warning of unfair and cruel ruling.

C．The motive of scientific development.

D．An imaginary perfect world of freedom.

【3】From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．H.G. Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800s

B．Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular terms

C．Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration

D．Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne’s fiction

【4】According to the author, what is the role of science fiction in society?

A．A reference of technology.

B．A moral compass.

C．A record of science development.

D．A form of thinking about possibilities.

Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

40、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事

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.
