28、 Not long ago I saw the following headline: “An anti-homework trend(趋势)goes global”. The reasoning: It stresses children out and it steals “precious family time”.
Hmm… I wonder. As a teacher, one of the problems I often come across is that students attach far too little importance to their studies, resulting in bad or incomplete work. I also wonder about the “precious family time”. If homework were abolished(废除), would the time freed up be used for reading poetry aloud at the dinner table or having heart-to-heart discussion about the social and political landscape(局面)? In the age of the Internet and games such as Candy Crush Saga, which have absorbed the time and interest of otherwise intelligent adults, I am doubtful.
When I was a kid, homework actually created precious family time. I still remember, after supper, clearing the table and replacing the dishes with my schoolbooks. And then, in swing shifts, my working-class parents would sit down with me and, to the best of their abilities, help me when and where they could.
I have often thought that the homework question could be dealt with if one thought of homework in terms of learning to play a musical instrument. For me, this was the clarinet(单簧管), which I began learning to play at age 9. Every week I took a 30-minute lesson from an old Polish man, Mr. Markiewicz. “Practice an hour a day, and you’ll be playing the clarinet before you know it.” Because my motivation was strong, I did practice an hour a day, and I did learn it in a reasonable amount of time.
Let’s get rid of homework, but only the word “homework”, and replace it with “practice”. As a teacher, it’s all I ask: that my students listen up in the class and then go home to practice, so that when they return to me to show how much they understand, I—and their parents—can be proud of them.
【1】What might happen in the house with no homework according to the author?
A.Students will play games.
B.Students will develop new interest.
C.There will be more precious family time.
D.There will be more arguments among the family.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Mourn his precious family time’s passing.
B.Show the powerful parental forces.
C.Prove the advantage of homework.
D.Describe his uneasy life as a student.
【3】What does the author suggest students do about the homework?
A.Get rid of it. B.Don’t see it as a load(负担).
C.Take great pride in it. D.Improve their motivation(动机)for it.
【4】Which is a suitable title for the text?
A.Why to value the family time.
B.An anti-homework trend begins.
C.How to solve the homework problem.
D.Developing hobbies can replace homework.
29、In March 2020, 16 wild Asian elephants left their natural habitat in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. They then headed north and returned home in September 2021. 【1】 Short videos on social media platforms offered people the most up-to-date information on the herd’s (兽群的) movements.
Unlike the online viewership, the Yunnan Provincial Government remained on edge. 【2】 Therefore, the provincial authorities established a new headquarters including forestry and grassland,emergency management, and public security personnel to organize a flood of human and material resources to track the elephants 24/7. Members helped with choosing safer routes or better timing and avoided having the animals crash into heavily populated areas by applying soft and flexible methods, like leaving food for them along the desired route.
【3】 But the staffs work would continue back at headquarters as they were in charge of predicting where the brave visors would head the next day and design their plans.
【4】 As local governments released news of their incoming well in advance, families would hide on the rooftops or squat down in the safety zone to watch from afar. Some villagers even brought corn to the headquarters, worried the elephants didn’t have enough to eat. Upon uncovering open farming fields, the wild animals would rush in and dive into a food fest. 【5】
Although scientists and officials have yet not discovered the reasons for the move, the 500-day round trip showed the importance both the Chinese government and people attach to wildlife, environment and biodiversity conservation.
A.But this never seemed to bother the residents.
B.The trip covered a distance of over 1,300 km.
C.The elephants caused trouble to the local people by destroying the fields.
D.The elephants would get on their way at 6-7 p.m. and sleep during the day.
E.As the elephants closed in, the local people would get both excited and curious.
F.Wild elephants are sensitive and can be ready to attack when they feel threatened.
G.The government has the responsibility to protect the endangered elephants from dying out.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language.
