As a typical application, the use of PPT in class is becoming increasingly popular.As we know, every coin has two sides. On one hand, the use of PPT in class expands knowledge and makes teaching easy, wonderful and vivid. In place of complex explanation output by teachers, show of text, sound, image and video in PPT stimulates students’ interests and help them understand intuitively especially in face of abstract concepts. Lesson study becomes more effective and interesting for students.On the other hand, relying too much on PPT weakens teachers’ ability. Many teachers read PPT directly lacking communications with students. Besides, some design of PPT is overwhelming which distracts students’ attention.As far as I am concerned, PPT is just a kind of teaching assistant. Teachers is expected to use it appropriately rather than pursuit its effects excessively.【选词填空第2套】26.I normal27.E definitely28.D considerable29.J possibly30.B argued31.K proposition32.N tend33.C avoid34.F extreme35.G inaction【信息匹配第2套】Why are Asian Americans Missing from out textbook?36.

You may clwose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding比t阮on Answer Sheet 2.Why Are Asian Americans Missing from Our Textbooks?A)I still remember my fourth-grade social studies project. Our class was studying the Gold Rush,something all California fourth-穸aders learned. I was excited because I had asked to research Chinese immigrants during that era. Gro咖g up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I had always known that "San Francisco" translated to " Gold Moun呻"in Chinese. The name had stuck ever since Chinese immigrants arrived on the shores of Northern California in the 1850s, eager to try their luck in the gold mines. Now I'd have the chance to learn about them.B)My excitement was short-lived. I remember heading to the library with my class and asking for help.I remember the librarian's hesitation. She finally led me past row after row of books, to a corner ofthe library where she pulled an oversized book off the shelf. She checked the index and turned over to a page about early Chinese immigrants in California. That was all there was in my entire school library in San Francisco, home of the nation's first Chinatown. That was it.C) I finally had the opportunity to learn about Asian Americans like myself, and how we became part ofthe fabric of the United States when I took an introductory class on Asian-American history in college. The class was a revelation. I realized how much had been missing in my textbooks as I grew up. My identity had been shaped by years of never reading, seeing, hearing, or learning about people who had a sinlilar background as me. Why, I wondered, weren't the stories, histories, and contributions of Asian Americans taught in K-12 schools, especially in the elementary schools? Why are they still not taught?D) O ur students-Asian, Latino, African American, Native American, and, yes, white-st.and to gainfrom a multicultural curriculum. Students of color are more engaged and e皿better grades when2(l.2Q.9 / ? . (第2套）they see themselves in their studies. Research has also found that white students benefit by being challenged and exposed to new perspectives.E)For decades, activists have called for schools to offer anti-racism or multicultural curricula. Yet atraditional American K-12 curriculum continues to be taught from a Eurocentric point of view. Being mul廿cultural often falls back on weaving children of color into photographs, or creating a few supporting characters that happen to be ethnic-an improvement, but superficial nonetheless.Elementary school classrooms celebrate cultural holidays一Lunar New Ye如Red envelopes! Lion dancers! 一but they're quick to gwss ov窃（掩饰）the challenges and injustices that Asian Americans have faced. Most students don't, for example, learn about the laws that for years excluded Asians from immigrating to the U. S. They don't hear the narratives of how and why Southeast Asian refugees (难民）had to rebuild their lives here.F)Research into what students learn in school has found just how much is missing in their studies. Inan analysis, Christine Sleeter, a professor in the College of Professional Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay, reviewed California's history and social studies framework, the curriculum determined by s也te educators that influences what is taught in K-12 classrooms. Of�e nearly 100 Americans recommended to be studied, 77% were white, 18% African American, 4% Native American, and 1 %Latino. None were Asian American.G)Worse, when Asian Americans do make an appearance in lesson books, it is often laced withproblems. " There hasn't been much progress, " says Nicholas Hartlep ,an assistant professor at Metropolitan S组te University. His 2016 study of K-12 social studies textbooks and teacher manuals found that Asian Americans were poorly represented at best, and subjected to racist caricatures (拙劣的模仿）at worst. The wide diversity of Asian Americans was overlooked; there was very little mention of South Asians or Pacific Islanders, for example. And chances were, in the images, Asian Americans appeared in s勋它otypical(模式化的）roles, such as engineers.H)Teachers with a multicultural background or training could perhaps overcome such cuniculumchallenges, but they're few and far between. In California, 66% of K-12 teachers are white, compared with a student popul啦on that is 76% students of color. Na廿onwide,the gap is even greater. It isn't a requirement that teachers share the same racial or ethnic background as theirstudents! but the imbalance poses challenges, from the potential for unconscious bias to a lack ofknowledge or comfort in discussing race and culture.I)How race and ethnicity is taught is crucial, says Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, an Asian-Americanstudies professor at San Francisco S也te University. She added that it's not so much about the teacher's background, but about training. "You can have a great curriculum but if you don't have teachers dedicated (专注于）to teaching it well, " she says, "it won't work as well as you want it to. "J)Some teachers are finding ways to expose students to Asian-Amenican issues-if not during school hours, then outside of them. This summer, Wilson Wong will lead a class of rising fifth-graders at a day camp dedicated to Chinese culture and the Chinese-American community in Oaklan d,2020.9/3(第2套）California. His studen岱，for instance, will learn about how Chinese immigran岱built the railroads in California, and even have a chance to " e xperience" it themselves: They w出race each other to build a railroad model on the playgroud, with some studen岱being forced to " work" longer and faster and at cheaper wages. Wong, a middle school teacher during the school year, hopes he's exposing the studen岱to how Chinese Americans contributed to the U. S. , something that he didn't get as a student gro咖g up in the San Francisco Bay Area. "I planted the seeds early, "he says."That's what I'm hoping for. "K)And, despite setbacks, the tide may finally be turning. California legislators passed a bill last year that w诅bring ethnic studies to all i区public high schools. Some school distri啦，including San Francisco and Los Angeles, already offer ethnic studies at i区high schools. High schools in Portland, Chicago ,and elsewhere have either implemented or will soon introduce ethrlc studies classes. And, as more high schools begin teaching it, the door could crack open for middle schools, and, perhaps inevitably, elementary schools, to incorporate a truly more multicultural curriculum.Doing so will send an important message to the nation's youngest citizens: Whatever your race or ethnicity, you matter. Your histo可matters.Your sto可matters.36.W血e cultural holidays are celebrated, the坟j us tices experienced by Asian Americans are notexposed in elementary school classrooms.37.Little infonnation can be found about Chinese immigran岱in the author's school library.38.A middle school teacher is making a great effort to help studen岱learn about the contributions madeby Chinese immigran岱to America.39.No Asian Americans were included in the list of historical figures recommended for study in K-12classrooms.40.There is an obvious lack of teachers with a multicultural perspective to meet the cw寸culumchallenges in America.41.Studen区of ethnic backgrounds learn better from a multicultural cuITiculum.42.Now more and more high schools in America are including ethnic studies in their curriculums.43.A study of some K-12 textbooks and teacher manuals showed that Asian Americans wereinadequately and improperly represented in them.44.When taldng a class in college, the author realized that a lot of information about Asian Americanswas left out of the textbooks he studied.45.An Asian-American studies professor placed greater emphasis on teacher training than on teachers'background.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages切this section.

参考范文：Online Shopping。

With the rapid development of the internet, online shopping has become increasingly popular in modern society. People can purchase almost everything they need online, from daily necessities to luxury items, without leaving the comfort of their homes. The convenience and time-saving benefits of online shopping have made it a preferred choice for many people.One of the main advantages of online shopping is the convenience it offers. With just a few clicks, shoppers can browse through a wide range of products and make purchases without having to physically visit different stores. This not only saves time but also allows consumers to compare prices easily and make informed decisions. In addition, online shopping provides access to a wider variety of products, including those that may not be available in local stores.However, online shopping also has its drawbacks. One of the main concerns is the inability to physically see and touch the products before making a purchase. This can leadto dissatisfaction with the quality or appearance of the items received. Moreover, the risk of falling victim to online scams or receiving counterfeit goods is a major downside of online shopping.In my opinion, online shopping is a convenient and efficient way to purchase goods, but it is important for consumers to be cautious and discerning. It is essential to research the reputation of the online seller and read reviews from other buyers before making a purchase. Additionally, consumers should be aware of their rights and take precautions to protect their personal and financial information when shopping online.In conclusion, online shopping has become an integral part of modern life, offering convenience and accessibility to a wide range of products. However, it is important for consumers to be aware of the potential risks and exercise caution when making online purchases.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)。
