It was a special pleasure to have such a 1 day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy."Hi, dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard? " Coyote yelled(叫喊) to me much louder than 2 ."No, just bring me some chips!" I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 3 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character. On one hand, it helped him to achieve tasks he had to do on his own,and he did great, making me proud of him. On theother hand, this brought him 4 , as he did notknow when to stop. At such moments, I would behavesuper-fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.he usually ignored(忽视). When he wore a green haircut, I would try to convince(说服) him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo(纹身), we had a/an 5 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager,my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him."Dad, let me show you something, " Coyote said as he was getting back. "Don't get too 6 , okay? " I sighed(叹气), because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.When he 7 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time."Control yourself, graybeard, " I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,"Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one? "The next moment I realized that my yelling would not 8 anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.And then I thought:” Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself? ”A.busyB.blueC.strangeD.peaceful A.neededB.expectedC.acceptedD.imagined plainedB.realizedC.jokedD.shouted A.tirednessB.honorsC.happinessD.troubles A.agreementB.argumentC.decisionD.discussion A.madB.curiousC.excitedD.nervous A.hidB.showedC.liftedD.hung A.interrupt B.change C.test D.cost三、阅读理解(共26分,每小题2分)14.A Dog's Way Home(2019)It is a 2019 Chinese-American familyadventure filmdirected by Charles Martin Smith.

His story started this past. February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told him that the babies would be homeless for aA. a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter(1)A.B.C.D.(2)while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but hewas sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to theFirehouse Ministries, local shelter(救济中心) that provides housingand food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homelessmen standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said"Can we take them some food and make them smile? "Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号),"Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate(捐赠)$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont.The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story.Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation(基金会)which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .Austin offered him a jobAustin bought him some foodAustin showed respect to himAustin listened to his story patientlyA. B. C. D.By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media. By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeedinggrandchildren seem like distinctly human traits(特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited tohuman beings? Do any animals know their grandparentsthe way people do? For most species(物种)on Earth, theanswer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparentsliving anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals(哺乳动物)that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren.The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groupsof sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females helpbabysit the group's young while their mothers dive(潜水)for food. Orca granmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves(幼崽)are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The femaleA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.B.C.D.(3)Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves'mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters,said Lahdenper . It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( STEM ) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排)study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama?' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势)to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.(1)A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise(2)A.B.C.D.(3)A.B.C.D.(4)children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools?' but rather 'can we afford not to?'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读(共10分,每题2分)18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone(里程碑)event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds (环境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地产). Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜谱)for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient(食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达(共10分)19.假如你是李华,正在美国格林中学做交换生。

AShawneen Mountain is a perfect place for skiing. Lifts(电梯)can help tourists get to the top of the mountain in 3 minutes. The following is the price table of the lift tickets.1. Shawneen Mountain is a perfect place for _______________.A. skiingB. walkingC. climbingD. riding2.

So many things in everyday life depend on your being able to read clearly. Here are a few examples.If you want to find out the latest news about your favorite film star or the result of the latest match, you will pick up a newspaper and read what it has to say about these topics.If you are on a long train or plane journey, you will probably have a book, a magazine or an e-book to help you pass t he time. Even if you are someone who ―doesn’t read books, it is possible that you will have to read the rules of the computer game that you are playing.Very often, you read something without realizing that you are reading. For example, you might check the time table at an airport or make sure that you drive carefully as you see the road sign ―HILL. If you are unable to read, these necessary actions become either very difficult or impossible to achieve.So, you understand how important a part reading plays in your life. Everybody who is using this textbook, To Be A Better Reader, has got the art of reading more or less. Why, then, you may ask yourself, is it necessary to have to read a book that tells you how to become a better reader — if you can read already, what is there to improve? Well, please think very carefully about what you mean by ―reading. Does it just mean that you know the meaning of words on a page and then speak them aloud or to yourself? Or is it something more than that?In fact, reading without understanding is worthless. The main purpose of reading is to help you understand the world better and achieve a more colorful life. So no matter where you are, try to read with understanding and be a better reader.4. From Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4, how does the writer prove (证明)his opinion?A. By telling reasons.B. By giving examples.C. By showing pictures.D. By comparing differences.5. According to the passage, people are reading when they ____________.①see a movie poster in the theater ②find a NO SMOKING sign in the library③enjoy a big meal in the restaurant ④notice a Great Sale ad in the supermarketA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④6. It can be inferred (推断)that the textbook, To Be A Better Reader, can help us to ____________.A. learn new wordsB. read out sentencesC. improve reading skillsD. know about game rules7. What’s the main purpose of the last two paragraphs?A. To help us make a reading plan.B. To help us be able to read clearly.C. To advise us to read more textbooks.D. To advise us to read with understanding.CSometimes, you just can’t help it. Maybe you’re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Why do people cry? What are tears(眼泪)? Scientists are working hard to find out the answers to these questions.Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology(心理学)at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective object between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “They are connected with our feelings,” explains Vingerhoets. “Especially when we feel helpless.”Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex(复杂的),” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from the USA. “It seems that tears serve to get help and support from others.” She says another reason we cry is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time for humans to grow up.Vingerhoets approves. “I think that the reason why humans cry has to do with our long childhood,” he says. “That’s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. Tears were a safer way to be noticed by others. In this case, it is better to use a quiet way to ask for help,” he says.Vingerhoets and Bylsma do lots of studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Bylsma, there isstill much more to discover. “It’s surprising,” she says, “how much we still don’t know.”8. What kind of tears will run down your face when something gets into your eyes?A. Basal tears.B. Reflex tears.C. Emotional tears.D. Complex tears.9. The underlined word “approves” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_____________”.A. agreesB. cheersC. repeatsD. succeeds10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It’s easy to un derstand why humans cry.B. Basal tears are a type of protective object.C. Emotional tears are better than reflex tears.D. The reason why humans cry has nothing to do with childhood.11. We may read this passage ____________.A. in a mystery novelB. in a storybookC. in a science magazineD. in a sports newspaperDWhen Matty Sallin, 34, was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University, he got interesting homework in electronic class. He decided to invent an alarm clock.Everybody has to stand it every day, and it is really unpleasant! he says. He asked different people what they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, "The smell of bacon (培根肉)".So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon instead of the sound to wake someone up. He explains, "There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses halogen light bulbs (钨卤灯)instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically (自动地)after ten minutes." Yes, the clock itself can do it. Just a few easy steps are needed to set the alarm."What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and set the alarm," says Sallin."If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs," he says. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig."So instead of an alarm, you get a bacon smell awake," says Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it."When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. "I wanted to make a lift in my backyard and a special tree house, "he says. "But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!"Sallin got an A in the class and went on to other things — but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.12. The underlined word ―it in the second paragraph refers to (指代)____________.A. homeworkB. technologyC. a new clockD. a noisy alarm13. Which of the following happens first?A. Cooking the bacon for ten minutes.B. Putting some frozen bacon.C. Setting the alarm clock.D. Blowing the smell out.14. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. it’s dangerous to cook bacon for breakfastB. Sallin refused to spend much time on inventionsC. people are interested in Sallin’s bacon alarm clockD. students at New York University are tired of homework15. What’s the most probable title for this passage?A. A Special “Smell” ClockB. Interesting HomeworkC. A Great InventorD. The Smell of Bacon第二节下面文章中有五处(第16-20题)需要添加首句。

He handed outburgers along with his catchphrase ( 口号 ), “ Don't forget to show love! ”After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media.Burger King agreedto donate (捐赠 ) $1,000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churchesand shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks tosocial support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to FirehouseMinistries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont. The respect Austinshowed touched Raymont, and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment.All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation(基金会 ) which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message oflove. It makes me feel like I'm saving“ the day. ”24. Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.A. a churchB. a restaurantC. a poor areaD. a local shelter25. Raymont was moved when .3A. Austin offered him a jobB. Austin bought him some foodC. Austin showed respect to himD. Austin listened to his story patiently26. How did Austin help the homeless?A. By setting up a foundation.B. By asking Burger King to donate.C. By spreading their stories through social ? media.D. By spending time and moneycaring about them.CGrandparents are respected in many human societies.But tellingstories about oldtimes and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly humantraits ( 特征 ).Are theseclassic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Doany animals knowtheir grandparents the way people do? For most species ( 物种 )on Earth,the answer isNO! “ Usually, there just aren't grandparents livinganymore whenan animal is born, ”said Mirkka Lahdenper? , a biologist at the University of Turkuin Finland. Even if ananimal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out toavoid competing forresources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals ( 哺乳动物 ) that live in close social groups. Canadianzoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in whicholder females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmotherlangurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their owngrandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they playtoo roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the group'syoung while their mothers dive ( 潜水 ) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggestedthat these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all thebest places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves ( 幼崽 ) are typically borninto groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. Thefemale elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenper? , and raise theiryoungtogether. Lahdenper? found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likelyto survive if theirgrandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves' mothers were older and more experienced at raisingbabies, this beneficial “ grandmotherdisappearedeffct even” if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenper? . It is believed thatthey may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper? thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmotherelephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that aliving grandfather can improve aperson's mental health and well ? being, said Lahdenper?. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Maleanimals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “ Males are usually focusing on productheir own children and aren't providing so much care, ” Lahdenper? said.27. From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _______.A. die after reproducingB. teach the young to dive for foodC. have rich experienceD. enjoy travelling with grandfathers28. The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that __________.A. the “ grandmother effect ” lasts long in the animal worldB. grandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesC. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthD. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsB. Animal grandmas are born groupleaders4C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect?D. Do any animals know their grandparents?DOver the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this directionis well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed thatour students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subjectareas. Education officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situationneeded tobe changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-relatedareas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略 ): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and highschool level helps students improve inmany areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork,and imagination. Most educatorsand parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age,but it is difficult for the same parentsand teachers to prioritize ( 优先安排 ) study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math,Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds ( 资金 )towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered“ soft skills. ” When thecalling out for “ hard ” skills, like those needed to succeed in? driventhetech21st century, how can they possibly prove it isreasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “ why spend time and money on drama? education”is thathas beendramascientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we developstudents with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally importantthat we trainthe teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active,communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study ofSTEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop activecommunication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills canbe developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improves students'public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papersin conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the realSTEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the“ soft ” people necessaryskills to navigate (导航 ) all of theseinteractions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or shewill be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work inteams.While the nationwide trend ( 趋势 ) to focus on playing catch ? up in STEMeducation is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's importantnot to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on theoveralleducation of our children. The question parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is notafford to support arts education in schools? ” but rather “ can we afford not to? ”30.Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?A.Because the world has moved into a tech ? driven century.B.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.C.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.D.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.31 .Theword“ channel” in Paragraph 2 probablymean ”.“A.affordB.directC.create D. raise32 .The third paragraph ismainly about .A. the benefits of dramaeducationB. the importance of STEMlearningC. the abilities needed forSTEM learningD. the reasons to improvedrama education33 .The writer probablyagrees that .A. drama is more important than STEM classesB. drama education has been the nationwide trendC. the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearD.

The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation.

" Coyote yelled(叫喊) to me much louder than 2 ."No, just bring me some chips!" I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 3 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character.

The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排)study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama?' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势)to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.(1)A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise(2)A.B.C.D.(3)A.B.C.D.(4)children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools?' but rather 'can we afford not to?'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读(共10分,每题2分)18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone(里程碑)event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds (环境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地产). Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜谱)for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient(食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达(共10分)19.假如你是李华,正在美国格林中学做交换生。

is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama. It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world is calling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the tech⁃driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?  education has been The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramascientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improves students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams. While the nationwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catch⁃up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall question parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can we
