26、   Today’s students have a problem. They were born into a world where technology, smartphones, and immediate access to the Internet are hurting their ability to focus and changing the way they think.

Now teachers have a problem too. They find it particularly exhausting to ask students to read complex or long texts without taking regular breaks. Smartphones have clearly affected the younger generation, but how education should evolve for digital-native students?

A common idea among teachers is that short is good. When students can’t seem to pay attention to long lectures, many teachers simply break lessons into smaller patterns. In fact, students need time to engage with a topic once the teacher introduces it before moving on. Switching between small lessons too quickly could rob them of valuable comprehension.

There are also teachers who begin classes with meditation (深思) exercises to help their students focus. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract strong desires to multi task.

A 2018 study found that students aged between 10 and 24 tend to stay away from physical books. They prefer video as a source of information second only to teachers. Therefore, some tech-forward teachers choose platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. Asha Choksi, vice-president of global research at Pearson, gives the example of a teacher who films himself performing a science experiment and posts it to YouTube. When it is time for class, he uses the video to illustrate material in the textbook, which can seem boring to students.

Still, while those educators are embracing technology in the classroom to meet student’s needs, they also find value in traditional methods, and so suggest a “blended (混合的) learning” approach. Direct instruction from them will never be replaced in their classes. Technology will be favored only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.

Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to evolve. They are making an effort not only to ensure that students can take advantage of new technologies, but to teach students valuable skills that can help them think in a world constantly trying to distract them. Think of the Zuckerbergs, the Gates, the Jobs and all those pioneers in the tech world. They became successful not because they could code (编程); it was because they could think.

【1】What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Motivate.

B．Reduce.

C．Compensate.

D．Influence.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT true?

A．Teachers adopt short lectures, small lessons, which could be hard to understand sometimes.

B．Teachers employ meditation exercises to help students concentrate on class, which is of little effect.

C．Students aged between 10 and 24 don’t prefer physical books, so YouTube and Instagram may be a good choice.

D．Students aged between 10 and 24 prefer videos to teachers, so using videos to explain textbooks is a popular way.

【3】According to the article, a “blended learning” approach is suggested mainly because ________.

(1). the conventional way of teaching remains unchallenged

(2). technology is a useful supplement to textbooks

(3). material in the textbook is too boring to most students

(4). teachers want to change their traditional teaching methods

A．(1)(2)

B．(2)(3)

C．(3)(4)

D．(1)(4)

【4】According to the author, a teacher’s top priority is  ________.

A．to share as much knowledge with students as possible

B．to encourage students to make full use of new technologies

27、We know that bully (欺凌) happens a lot and that it can make people feel miserable. And school violence happens all the time.

【1】

Bully is where a person or a group exercise control over another against their will, often leaving the victim feeling powerless and alone. Bullying can take many forms. Children, young people and adults can instigate bullying and be bullied in schools. Bullying is harmful to all involved, not just the person who is bullied, but to those who do the bullying and those who stand by. It can lead to self-doubt, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, self-harm and sometimes even suicide. Children might bully because they may not have been taught that it is wrong to bully. 【2】 They are copying older brothers and sisters, friends or people they observe. They don’t know of more appropriate ways of mixing with their school friends.

How does bullying affect people?

New research has found that more than half of young people in the UK have been bullied. Of those who have been bullied, 58 % said it made them want to miss school, 44 % said it made them avoid social events, and 37 % said it had affected their school work. 【3】 Racism is when people are treated badly because of their skin colour, culture or nationality. Around 32 % of students said that they had heard something racist at school.

What can I do to help?

【4】 If someone you know is being bullied it is important to tell a teacher. You could also talk to your parents or an adult whom you trust. If the person doing the bullying is some-one you know, you could talk to them and explain what they’ re doing is wrong. It’s important to support the person being bullied. 【5】

A．What is bullying?

B．What is cyberbullying?

C．They may think that it is just a bit of fun.

D．You should tell them that they're not alone.

E．There's no shame or harm in being different.

F．The study also found a big problem with racism.

G．There are many things you can do to fight against bullying at school.

28、   Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．

Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. During the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said:“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating，feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.”

During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.

Elliot Day wrote:“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”

From Caroline Scott, we read:“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something l would like to do again!”

And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication.”

Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

【1】What is the experiment?

A.Volunteers’record of their 24 hours offline.

B.Volunteers’ reaction without any media for 24 hours.

C.Dr Roman Gerodimos following Volunteers for 24 hours.

D.Only volunteers’ plugged experiment.

【2】What does the author worry about at the end of the passage?

A.The media ban affects people’s temperature.

B.People will have less and less time for sleep.

C.Work will be carried on hard without the media.

D.Life will be empty without the radio or newspapers.

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings?

A.Anxious. B.Lonely.

C.Bored. D.Excited.

【4】What conclusion does the experiment draw?

A.People should use the media devices reasonably．

B.People can easily survive the media devices addict．

C.People’s everyday life and work relies much on the media．

D.People spend about half the time using the media devices．

【5】What is probably the passage?

A.Advertisement. B.Book review.

C.News report. D.Science fiction story.

29、What Are the Advantages of Team Sports?

The list of benefits from team sports is long, regardless of their talent or the team’s record. Here are just a few:

【1】

Obviously, fitness is a big benefit. Many studies now show that our eating habits and lifestyle habits are making us less healthy. And exercise can give us some relief from these conditions. At the same time, playing a team sport lays the foundation for lifelong fitness habits.

Life skills

Equally important are the non-athletic skills that sports build. “There is a lot you can learn in sports that you will use in the rest of your life,” explains John Duffy, a Chicago-area psychologist. “You learn to play on a team.【2】. And you learn to be gracious when you win and when you lose.”

Academic (学术的) success

Research shows that schools with strong athletic programs have higher test scores and lower drop-out rates. 【3】. And they also have self-reported higher education aspirations (抱负), diligence in homework completion and lower absenteeism.

Teamwork

In team sports, teammates learn to respect each other and encourage everyone to do their best. 【4】.

Additional benefits for females

【5】The Women’s Sports Foundation reports that girls who participate in team sports are more likely to have a positive outlook on their bodies.

A．Fitness

B．Achievability

C．It’s also about showing respect for the teammates

D．Meanwhile, female athletes have additional advantages

E．You learn to handle challenges and deal with difficulties

F．Everyone learns to work together because it is what’s best for the team

G．Students who play team sports are more likely to graduate than those who don’t
