You may learn about a disease on Sunday.I’ve been having trouble concentrating on one thing. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be abl e to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day —with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention problems. I believe one can find his way out of difficulty with determination (决心) and efforts.4、Why didn’t the author finish his reading in class?A. He missed several classes before.B. He was not a bit interested in literature.C. He was unable to concentrate on his task.D. He was used to doing his homework at home.5、What do we know about Louis Braille from the text?A. He was poor.B. He was well-educated.C. He was shortsighted.D. He was very creative.6、What kind of teacher is Mrs. Smith according to the text?A. Impatient.B. Encouraging.C. Disappointing.D. Careless.7、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. You can never be too old to learn.B. Do not judge a book by its cover.C. One good turn deserves another.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.Sitting close with your little ones from an early age and enjoying a book together is always a great way to spend time, but do you know reading to your children has a whole range of benefits that will give them a flying start in life?Firstly, it’s a great introduction to vocabulary. Seeing an adult sounding out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build up vocabulary that they will use for the rest of their life.Then there are a variety of good effects of hearing stories which improve their minds and develop social awareness and skills. At a time when they are perhaps stuck indoors more than ever before, reading is the best way to motivate (激发) children’s imagination. They canhad lunch!There’s no better way to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes than reading their stories and seeing things from another’s point of view is a great way to build empathy (共鸣), tolerance and other qualities needed. There are some fantastic children’s books which show characters acting as strong role models. These stories can encourage future leaders and thinkers, so every child can feel they can achieve their dreams, from the Little Leaders series to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (叛逆女孩).Now is the perfect time to build up a library of excellent reads ready for children to enjoy now and in the future. They will create memories to last a lifetime. On top of the benefits for your little ones, it’．s fun, relaxing and a great chance to go back and reread the best books from your own childhood.8、What kind of people is the text written for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Leaders.9、What does the underlined phrase “pop into” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Start.B.Visit.C.Build.D.Leave.10、In which way does Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls do good to children?A.Going to bed easily at bedtime.B.Building good qualities.C.Building a strong body.D.Bringing back sweet memories.11、What is the text mainly about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Children’s reading materials.C. Benefits of reading to children.D. Ways of reading children’s books.Begun 30 years ago, the Kubuqi desert greening project has succeeded in not only controlling the fast growth of the seventh-largest desert in China, about the size of Kuwait, but also turning about 6,000 square kilometers of the desert — one-third of it — green.The desert lies about 800 kilometers to the west of Beijing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (自治区) and the greening efforts have also controlled desertification (沙漠化) in the rest of the area.The project, which began about 30 years ago, can be looked to as an example of efforts to advance green development, in order to create harmony between humans and nature, and leave a better environment for future generations.The success of the project, which has been praised by the UN Environment Programme as an “eco-pioneer”, sets an example for successful desertification control and ecosystem improvement based on effective government policies, supported by investment (投资) in the eco-industry and combined with the efforts of local farmers. These three aspects are key to the success of the “Kubuqi model”.Elion, a private ecology (生态) and investment company, has invested about 38billion yuan ($5.82 billion) in the Kubuqi desert-greening project since 1988 helping to lift about 102,000 local farmers out of poverty. For example, the locals grow a drought-tolerant (耐旱) plant, Chinese licorice, which is the most used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The plant helps enrich the desert soil, with the bacteria around the roots of the plants producing nitrogen(氮气). Besides, Cistanche, another type of drought-tolerant herb, was introduced after the successful planting of licorice. Under the company’s guidan ce and with the local government’s support, the local people benefit from the “environmental wealth”.More companies should be encouraged to apply the “Kubuqi model” in other desert control projects in Inner Mongolia and neighboring Gansu province, where the climate conditions are similar but not quite the same, so as to further gain experience and enrich the model in practice. Showing it can be successfully applied in other areas will help promote themodel worldwide.12、What do we know about the Kubuqi greening project?A. It increases the areas of desert.B. It has turned all of the desert green.C. It has achieved satisfying results.D. It is applied all over the world.13、Which is NOT the reason for the success of the “Kubuqi model”?A. Efforts of local farmers.B. Government policies’ support.C. Investment in the eco-industry.D. Help from the UN Environment Programme.14、How does the author develop paragraph 5?A. By following the time order.B. By giving examples.C. By giving a definition (定义).D. By making comparisons.15、What is the author’s attitude towards the greening project?A. Negative.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Indifferent.二、七选五16、Circumnavigating the planet (环球旅行) and stopping off wherever you like is the final trip for many travelers. ①_________Here is a guide to get you started.How to do it②_________Theoretically (理论上) any routing is possible, but knowing how the RTW booking system works will make your trip cheaper. For example, the Star Alliance (联盟) has 27 airlines which fly to 1,185 airports in 185 countries, and offers a RTW ticket with a maximum of 15 stops. But there are rules: you must follow one global direction and you must start and finish in the same country.When to goThe weather will never be ideal in all of your stops. ③_________ If a Himalaya hike is your highlight, do not land in Nepal mid-monsoon (季风中) season; if you want to swim with whale sharks off the coast of Western Australia, be there between April and July. In general,city sightseeing can be done year-round but outdoor adventures are more reliant on — and enjoyable in — the right weather.④_________The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets flit between a few big cities, for example, London — Bangkok — Singapore — Sydney — LA. If you want to link more offbeat (另类的) places, prices will climb considerably. The cost of the ticket is based on the total distance covered or the number of countries visited. ⑤_________ Your daily outgoings will be far higher in Europe and North America than in South-East Asia. Indonesia, Bolivia and India are particularly cheap.A. Where to goB. How long will you needC. So, focus on what you want to do most and research conditions there.D. You could travel around the world in a weekend if you flew non-stop.E. Also, if budget (预算) is an issue, spend more time in less expensive countries.F. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be a complex (复杂的) business.G. The most economical (经济的) way is to buy a RTW air ticket that uses one airline alliance.三、完形填空（15空）My brother Henry and I were driving home when he took a wrong turn.

This is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. But don’t make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. With a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.Other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.We may conclude that: you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.53.

So it seems as if we should naturally lose weight over the summer and not gain it. However, lots of summer activities can work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight.Therefore, to beat summer weight gain, first of all, you should set a goal. If we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from sofa to computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by trying to achieve a specific goal, like doing something for others without being paid for it, mastering a new skill, or working at a job.Staying busy is also a good idea to beat summer weight gain. When we’re bored, it’s easy for us to do nothing and then feel low on energy. So fill you days with things to do. You can plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast, for example. And also limit your screen time -- including TV, computer and video games -- to no more than two hours a day.Don’t let summer heat prevent you carrying out your exercise plans. Stop doing physical exercise outdoors and start doing it indoors. For example, you can try bowling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, try to swim in pools or move a regular run or soccer game to early morning or evening.Think about what you eat. Remember not to eat too much and not to eat those unhealthy foods like high-sugar, high-fat desserts. In addition, choose seasonal foods like fresh fruit. Another good trip for summer eating is to limit frozen treats like ice cream to only once a week.Title: 65.______________ to Beat Summer Weight GainI.

Mary Moe has done alot during the past 91 years. For much of that time, she wanted to fly, but never had the chance -- until now. She recently achieved her life-long dream.Flying an airplane is a dream Mary Moe has had since she was a little girl. She was inspired by two American pilots: Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Lindbergh made the solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Five years later, Earhart became the first woman to make the flight. But Mary Moe could not find time to make her dream come true. At age 34, she was just too busy. She was busy with her job in advertising and busy raising her family. There was simply not time to think about flying a plane. Besides, flying lessons were costly. Everything seemed to be working against Mary. She thought, “No, I have to put this on the back burner for a while.” So her dream had to wait. She kept it on the back burner. Then, at age 91, her wish finally came true.Ms. Moe learned about Wish of Lifetime. Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization aimed at changing the way our society thinks about aging and older adults. Sally Webster works for the group. She said that Ms. Moe’s wish is one of hundreds they receive each year. “Based on funding year by years, we are able to grant about 200 to 25 wishes per year. The wishes are as different as American society.”Ms. Moe received three flying lessons. And on the big day of her first flight, her family and friends all came out to cheer her on. Mary’s success made everyone around her excited and proud. “She was just exhilarated and so happy.” Her great-grandchildren were so excited to see their great-grandma up in the plane laughing and smiling. “It was very satisfying and this is the way everybody should go.” The new pilot says, “I believe it is never too late to spread your wings and try something new.”75.

）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIntroductionBlenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces. It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.Winston ChurchillIn 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke's most famous descendant. Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK's Prime Minister （some would say Britain’s greatest 20th-century politician ）and Nobel prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908.A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.Opening Hours & AdmissionBlenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round （although the park is）. The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost £11.50 during the low season and £13 during the peak season （Easter weekend and from 28 May to 11 September）, or £6/£8 for the park and gardens only.The park is open all-year round from 9a.m. to 4:45p.m.（last entry）. Admission is £2.50 for adults and £1.50 for children.Please refer to the official website for more details.21.What can be learned about Blenheim Palace?A. It is the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.B. It is now one of the world’s heritage sites.C. It is the largest royal building in England.D. It was built in honor of Prime Minister Winston Churchill22.Why can’t people visit Blenheim Palace all the year round?A. They are too busy to afford the time.B. Repairs are badly needed for the palace.C. Some seasons are not convenient for visitors.D. The 11th Duke of Marlborough still lives there.23.If a couple and their five-year-old daughter visits the park, how much need they pay ?A. ￡6.5B.￡7.5C.￡l1.5D.￡13BEach new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback（退步）. Simply speaking,it means the longer kids are out of school,the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time,with a few weeks off in between. The National Associationfor Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousands such schools at last count（最后一次统计）. They werespread among forty-six of the fifty states.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally thesame as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said,“Year-round schools don'treally solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.Across the country,research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools andlocal governments offer programs that can help.But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning centerat Johns Hopkins,Ron Fairchild,said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimorefound that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture,the idea of summervacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”,“enrichment”, “extra time”and “hands-on learning”.24.According to the first paragraphthe summer learning gap ________.A. affects children's regular studiesB. helps children to gain weightC. leads children to work harderD. improves children's memoriespared to traditional schools,students in the year-round ones ________.A. perform better and have more learning gainsB. have much less time for relaxation every yearC. have generally the same number of class daysD. hold more classes with more free weeks off26.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.B. Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation.C. There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.D. Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.27.Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?A. They cherish the children's rights of freedom very much.B. They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.C. They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.D. They can't afford to the further study during the vacation.CAndy is the most unreasonable and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I have to love him because he is my twin brother. Andy and Amy（that’s me）have the same curly（卷曲的）hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn（固执的）. Yet, on most issueswe usually take completely opposite positions.Just this weekin our school, there was heateddiscussionon whether to adopt a school dress code. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of theuniforms while others are opposed. The principal（校长）has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress code.I think a dress code is a good idea. The reason is simple. The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings Ilook into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.Andy is shocked at my opinion. Last night, he even dragged out my parents’ high school photo albums to show me how brilliant they looked without uniforms!He also declared, “Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform! Besides, when I am feeling political（感到心烦的）, I want to be able to wearclothes made of natural, undyed（未染色的）fibers, and assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child labor. If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!”To that I replied, “So your personal heroes didn't wear school uniforms. But they went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego（自我）is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform.” That really made him angry and he shouted, “You’re just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him!Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went to our separate classes. The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the principal’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted. How would you vote-for or against?28.The story is about ________.A. a school policy decision that will affect parents and studentsB. a personal experience and is told in the first personC. a historical event and is told in the third personD. a conflict of opinions between boys and girls29.Amy holds the idea that ________.A. school clothing should reflect parents’ valuesB. teenagers should never follow the latest fashionC. wearing school uniforms means one makes fewer decisions every morningD. the way one dresses should be an expression of one’s personal ity30.In paragraph 5, Amy aims to say that ________.A. Andy should n’t look up to hisheroes so muchB. our clothes should decide people’s attitudes towards usC. An dy’s lack of self-confidence is reflected in his clothingD. our c lothes shouldn’t determine how we feel about ourselves31.What is the best title for the text?A. A School Dress Principle.B. My Stubborn Twin BrotherC. Endless Fights with My BrotherD. For or Against?----That Is the QuestionDPsychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的）line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.You might think that this is a very easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed（动摇）by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three peoplewas set up,where two of the people were confederates（同伙）of the experimenter.When the confederates deliberately（故意地）gave wrong answers,people were often swayed to give the wrong answer, too. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people donot want to step out of line with the prevailing（盛行的）opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and preferto trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress.Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street?It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone.When other people are also around,a diffusion （扩散）of responsibility occurs. People easily get inactive, because everyone assumes thatsomeone else will go to the woman' s assistance.32.In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means“________”A. seek independenceB. disobey ordersC. follow what others doD. seek pleasure33.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?A. To explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB. To prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC. To train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-mindedD. To describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others34.In the last paragraph, according to the author,why wouldn’t one help the woman?A. He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.B. He thinks he has nothing to do with it.C. He is too shy to give his helping hand.D. He thinks someone else will offer assistance.35.What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?A. Giving examples.B. Cause-effect analysis.C. Comparative analysis.D. Process analysis.第二节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of takinga cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her.I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.1. Why does the author mention the Wilsons?A．To show how the couple grew old together.B．To picture what she will be like when she ages.C．To stress her opposition to inequality in society.D．To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee.2. What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss?A．She meant to share instead of serving.B．She planned to have the boss serve her later.C．She intended to play a trick on her mean boss.D．She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again.3. What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragra ph?A．Annoyed. B．Shocked. C．Confused. D．Excited.4. What can we learn about the author from the text?A．She figured out how to show respect for her superior.B．She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.C．She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.D．She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.3. Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their fi ndings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process —not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A．They take plastics as their everyday food.B．They are newly evolved creatures.C．They can consume plastics.D．They wind up in landfills.2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A．identify other means of the breakdownB．find out the source of the enzymeC．confirm the research findingsD．increase the breakdown speed3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A．help to raise wormsB．help make plastic bagsC．be used to clean the oceansD．be produced in factories in future4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain a study method on worms.B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.C．To present a way to break down plastics.D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.4. Catherine Garland, a physics professor, started seeing “the problem” in 2019. She’d laid out the assignment clearly during an engineering course, but student after student was calling her over for help. They were all getting the same error message: The program couldn’t find their files.Garland thought it would be an easy fix. She asked each student where they had saved their project. “Could they be on the desktop? Perhaps in the Documents folder?” But over and over, she was met with confusion. “What are you talking about?” multiple students inquired. Gradually, Garland came to the realization: the concept of file folders and directories, essential to previous generations, understanding of computers, is gibberish to many modern students.Garland’s mental model is commonly known as “directory structure”, the hierarchical system (层级体系) of folders used to arrange files. What have caused the mental model to change? It is possible that many students spent their high school years storing documents in the cloud storage like OneDrive and Dropbox rather than in physical spaces. It could also have to do with the other apps they’re accustomed to. “When I want to scroll (滚屏) over to Snapchat, Twitter, they’re not in anyparticular order, but I know exactly where they are,” says Vogel, who is a devoted iPhone user. Some of it boils down to muscle memory.It may also be that in an age where every user interface includes a search function, young people have never needed folders or directories. The first internet search engines were used around 1990, but features like Windows Search are products of the early 2000s. While many of today’s professors grew up without sea rch functions, today’s students increasingly don’t remember a world without them.Some may blame the generational incompetence. An international study claimed that only 2 percent of Generation Z (born from 1997 onwards) had achieved the “digital native” le vel of computer literacy. But the issue is likely not that modern students are learning fewer digital skills, but rather that they’re learning different ones. Garland, for all her knowledge of directory structure, doesn’t understand Instagram nearly as wel l as her students do. “They use computers one way, and we use computers another way,” Garland emphasizes. “That’s where the problem lies.”1. The word “gibberish” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.A．common B．accessible C．nonsense D．fundamental2. What can be concluded from paragraph 3 and 4?A．There is no search function in the directory structure.B．College professors have weaker muscles than students do.C．Modern students like to store documents in physical drives.D．The change in mental models reflects the progress in technology.3. By mentioning Garland’s and Vogel’s stories, the author________.A．highlights the different mindsets of two generationsB．criticizes modern students’ overuse of online appsC．shows the diff iculty of teaching today’s studentsD．calls on a change in the education of physics4. According to the passage, what can best address “the problem” mentioned at the beginning and the ending?A．Teaching students directory structure.B．Improving generational understanding.C．Enhancing Generation Z’s digital skills.D．Urging teachers to learn search functions.5. Die clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. 1 . By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes.Die moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated（仿真的）view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: 2 Communicating the realness and immediacy（紧迫）of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. 3 That's why Die and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual（模拟）reality headsets and watch their homes be flooded.4 . It has partnered（合作）with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt（采用）a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. 5 . But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation（模拟）being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program's developers. "The goal," he says, "is to start a conversation and help folks visualize（想象）the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them."6.
