21、 “Suzanne Meyer, the assistant director of the English Language Institute at the University of Tennessee, says that many students need to learn how to collect information, and then evaluate the information and apply it to a new context. Meyer says: “【1】 . Question-asking activities help students to become better language learners. Question-asking may help develop critical thinking skills by allowing for more interactions.【2】 . When they are confident, they can have more interaction. That extra interaction might lead to critical thinking.”
How can you practice asking questions? There are many strategies to improve question-asking and develop critical thinking skills. 【3】 .
If students were reading a new text, they would design a series of questions using three different steps. In the first step, students create questions about information in the text that they are reading. In the second step, students create questions about how the information in the text connects to their own life. In the third step, students create questions about abstract ideas – ideas that came up in the questions about themselves.【4】 .
Practical Tips: Meyer says that when teachers tell students which questions to answer, students are less likely to be creative about the types of questions that they ask. 【5】 . Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract. Check with your teacher to make sure that your grammar is correct, and try to practice in the classroom.
A.So, practice developing your own questions!
B.People who can ask questions should be very confident.
C.People can ask questions freely when they feel relaxed.
D.If people take some steps, they can find some useful question-asking patterns.
E.There are many benefits to using question-asking activities with English learners.
F.One possible strategy is to use question-asking patterns that start with concrete questions and move to abstract questions.
G.If students follow these three steps, they have not only practiced creative ways to ask questions, they have also started practicing critical thinking.

23、The expression“a thirst for knowledge" may soon have a new meaning for millions of people who have no way to get clean water. Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can turn dirty water into clean and drinkable water. They say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.
About 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is polluted by harmful bacteria.
The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles (微粒) of silver. The pages can be used as filters(过滤器)to remove harmful microorganisms(微生物) that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it.
Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be cleaned.
Ms. Dankovich, the inventor, says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. She recently presented her invention at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. She was asked whether she had considered adding classic literature on the book's pages.
"The idea of classic texts—that's of interest maybe later. We have discussed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven't had the time to go through that part," she says.
Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful.
Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project.
【1】What do we learn about the book from the text?
A.It has pages with several functions.

B.Exciting discussion.
C.Invention presentation.
D.Financial support.
【3】In which country did not the researchers test the drinkable book?
A.Ghana
B.Bangladesh.
C.South Africa.
D.America.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Researchers have found a way to save those being ill.
B.Book pages could provide safe drinking water.
C.Knowledge is as important as drinkable water.
D.Millions of people are in great need of drinkable water.
24、It is lunchtime. At a long table inside a restaurant, some young people sit together over lunch. There is less conversation than you might expect from a typical group of friends: a boy seems to talk only to himself, and a girl looks anxious.
These young people met through a program organized by the nonprofit Actionplay, where young people with autism work together to write and stage a musical. Each Sunday, they work and have lunch together. “You meet other people just like you,” says Lexi Spindel. “That was the first time my daughter had a friend,” says Lexi’s father. “That never happened before Actionplay.”
For decades, scientists have supposed people with autism don’t have or need friends. A new research is forcing a rethink of those long-held beliefs. Autistic people report they want friends. One significant barrier to friendships is common people’s opinion that autistic people are not interested in connecting with them. Appearing uninterested, however, is not always the same as being uninterested. An autistic child looking uninterested in games may in fact be overcome by the noise. And behaviors like clapping hands repeatedly are a way to manage their anxiety and uncertainty, not a sign of their low social interest.
For some autistic people, friendships develop through experimental programs. In a program Lerner developed, participants play a game called Gibberish. where teenagers must interpret each other’s intentions without using real language. The point is not to get it right. but to attend to what the other person is doing in a way that creates opportunities to connect.
Lerner’s ideas were inspired by a moment 16 years ago after he established a small camp for children with autism called Spotlight. On the second day an l1-year-old boy ran up and pulled his clothes. “Lerner, Lerner, where did you find these kids?”
“All over the place,” Lerner answered. “Everyone wants to come to camp, just like you.”
“This is the first normal group of kids I have never met.” the boy said.
【1】The scene in paragraph 1 is described to ________.
A.reveal the lack of an interpersonal conversation
B.prove the difficulty in reducing teenage anxiety
C.stress the great necessity of forming friendships
D.show the different behavior of a particular group
【2】What is Actionplay aimed at?
A.Curing young people of autism.
B.Developing autistic people’s taste in art.
C.Offering autistic people a social platform.
D.Improving young people’s family relationship.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Autistic people have no intention to make friends.
B.Noise sets barriers to autistic people’s views on games.
C.Repetitive movements make autistic people feel secure.
D.Common beliefs cause autistic people’s low social interest.
【4】What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.He feels at ease with his autistic fellows.
B.He no longer regards himself as an autistic kid.
C.Lerner’s guidance helps him get out of autism.
D.Autistic kids don’t long to socialize with normal ones.

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。
It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Green, followed by an ordinary-looking boy.
“This boy’s name is Mark, ” Ms. Green announced. “He comes from another school, and he’s going to be in our class from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly. ”
The class clapped. But I didn’t want to. have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities, considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.
“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing, " Ms. Green spoke up. “Mark actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggester that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Mark insisted on attending his first day of school So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write your words on a piece of paper. ”
This single speech sent the whole class into noises. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms. Green calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?”
“How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else. would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Green’s.
“How about you, James? She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Mark just for today?”
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially. f that person is a teacher. I sighed (叹气)and nodded slightly.
Ms. Green gestured for Mark to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.
