21、   While Finland frequently tops international school rankings, Norway, the richest country in North Europe, performs much worse.【1】She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education policies in Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to researchers and educators.

Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have underperformed in science subjects for years.【2】But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example, politicians decide that how much time should be spent on math per semester (学期).

Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the politicians are in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely governed by  politicians.【3】

The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic faculties (全体教师) from every university selected their own representatives.【4】The Ministry simply monitored the  process. The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the Finnish professional environment.

【5】The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can’t be done overnight and simply copying Finland’s way will be difficult. “Education policies reflect historical and cultural  structures in society,”she said.“I think it’s very important that educators and researchers in Norway should be given more room to develop what Norwegian education should be like.”

A.Can Finland’s success be copied?

B.Is Norwegian education system a failure?

C.This has resulted in several educational reforms.

D.They together were responsible for policy changes.

E.The Minister has had a very firm control on the reform.

F.The education policies of the two countries are very similar.

G.Recently, Afdal looked at the differences between Finland and Norway.

22、   The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked , their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share, and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

【1】What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A.It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.

B.It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

C.It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

D.It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

【2】One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A.people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

B.story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

C.people are used to exposing their weaknesses

D.some stories make people feel sad

【3】Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A.unfolded B.freed C.broken D.untouched

【4】The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A.realize the importance of being honest when making friends

B.be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

C.remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D.share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

23、   In our magazine’s document room, from the June 1920 issue, I discovered a piece, What Editors Do, by Hazel Miller. What she talks about caught my eye: The first World War and its ending just two years before.

“During 1917 and 1918, when the World War was going, there was a huge demand for war material,” Miller writes. “Most magazines were carrying practically nothing but war stories. When the War ended in November, 1918, some editors still had a goodly supply of war fiction and articles—for which they had paid real money—on their hands, which most people by now are fed up with.”

Her words have stuck with me for the past 12 months as we’ve weighed which COVID-19 stories to run and which to hold. I’m writing these words with thick snow outside my window, but they will reach you in the green of spring. Will you be vaccinated(接种疫苗) and tired of reading about COVID-19 then?

We say writing is an art, and publishing is a business, but I worry we forget that publishing is also a gamble(赌博), Except for the immediate publication, everyone in the industry—agents, acquiring editors, magazine and journal editors, etc.—are betting on a story’s success in a future we cannot see. As is the nature of fortune telling, we are not so sure we will not occasionally lose: The 1920 editors sitting on a store of war stories no one wants, for example.

With so many factors outside your control, and so much uncertainty in the industry, isn’t it better to have stories written from the heart that you are truly enthusiastic about rather than some to please an ever-changing publishing market?

My future reader, it’s my hope that this issue finds you this spring doing just that: Writing the stories you need to tell—and the ones that will delight your own future readers for years to come.

【1】What does the writer probably do?

A．A journalist.

B．An editor.

C．A librarian.

D．A historian.

【2】What did Miller’s words suggest?

A．The First World War shouldn’t have ended too soon.

B．Some editors would make a great fortune by storing war material

C．In the post-war years, people still enjoyed reading about war.

D．Too much war material had been stored by some editors.

【3】The writer find Miller’s words especially useful when_______.

A．deciding which COVID-19 stories to publish

B．writing during the winter months

C．waiting for the green of spring

D．expecting to be vaccinated

【4】What is the writer’s message to the potential authors?

A．To please the present publishing market.

B．To learn the nature of fortune-telling

C．To control as many factors as possible.

D．To write from the heart for the future readers.

24、   Before the age of the smartphone, photographers had to learn how to use high-tech cameras and photographic techniques. Today, with the huge range of camera apps on our smartphones, we’re all good amateur photographers, since the quality of smartphone images now nearly equals that of digital cameras.

The new ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing the magical and the ordinary. We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, whether it’s a shot of our breakfast, our cat or the cat’s breakfast. Even photo journalists are experimenting with mobile phones because their near invisibility makes it easier to capture unguarded moments.

In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events that captured our imaginations. These photos had the power to change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, it’s not because there are fewer good images. It’s because there are so many, and no one image gets to be special for long.

As people everywhere embrace photography and the media make use of citizen journalists, professional standards appear to be shifting. Before digital images, most people trusted photographs to accurately reflect reality. Today, images can be altered in ways the naked eye might never notice. Photojournalists are trained to accurately represent what they witness. Yet any image can be altered to create an “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer.

The question of the accuracy of images gets even trickier when photojournalists start experimenting with camera apps-- like Hipstamatic or Instagram --- which encourage the use of filters （滤镜）. Images can be colored, brightened, faded, and scratched to make photographs more artistic, or to give them an antique look. Photographers using camera apps to cover wars and conflicts have created powerful images--- but also controversy. Critics worry that antique-looking photographs romanticize war, while distancing us from those who fight in them.

Yet photography has always been more subjective than we assume. Each picture is a result of a series of decisions-- where to stand, what lens to use, what to leave in and what to leave out of the frame. Does altering photographs with camera app filters make them less true? There’s something powerful and exciting about the experiment the digital age has forced upon us. These new tools make it easier to tell our own stories--- and they give others the power to do the same. Many members of the media get stuck on the same stories, focusing on elections, governments, wars, and disasters, and in the process, miss out on the less dramatic images of daily life that can be as revealing.

Who knows? Our obsession with documentation and constantly being connected could lead to a dramatic change in our way of being. Perhaps we are witnessing the development of a universal visual language, one that could change the way we relate to each other and the world. Of course, as with any language, there will be those who produce poetry and those who make shopping lists.

【1】According to the author, there are fewer memorable photographs today because_________.

A.the quality of many images is still poor

B.there are so many good images these days

C.traditional media refuse to allow amateur photos

D.most images are not appealing to a global audience

【2】The author put the word “ improved” in quotation marks in order to _________.

A.indicate it’s a word cited from another source

B.stress that the picture of reality is greatly improved

C.draw audience attention to a word worth considering

D.show it’s arguable whether the picture is truly improved

【3】Which of the statements does the author most likely agree with?

A.The daily life pictures are very expressive themselves.

B.Photographs of the digital age are more subjective than before.

C.Photos altered by filters of camera apps are too subjective to be true.

D.Many members of the media value daily life images over major social events.

【4】What may be the best title for the passage?

A.Camera Apps Bury Authenticity

B.Photography Redefined: A Visual Language

C.Smartphone: Killer of Professional Photography

D.The Shifting Standards of Professional Photography

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。

At age 10, I stood in front of my new class, my new classmates looking at me with mild interest as my teacher introduced me. I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd.

All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?”

In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate.
