Austin andhis father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies.“ I told him that the babies woulbe homeless for a while, ” TJ says. “ Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to knowmore. ”Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter ( 救济中心 ) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless menstanding on the street corner. “ Dad, they look sad, ” Austin said.“ Can we take them some food and makthem smile? ”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food outhimself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. 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.

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.

Vertical GardensHenrietta did not have a big yard. She only had a small deck (平台)overlooking a tiny piece of grass. It was not enough yard for her dog toplay on. She 13 a garden really bad, but did not have space. Whatcould she do?For a while, she just kept a few plants in pots on the deck.

She 14 one on her window and put two more on the bars, which were great for flowers. This helped for a time, but she still longed for more.She 15 got an idea: if she couldn’t build out, why not build up? She had heard of vertical gardening from a friend. She had wooden fences ( 栅栏) all around her little piece of grass, so if she could fix some pots to the fence, she could 16 up into that space, and her dog could still play.She went to the building store and got some supplies. It was 17 to find pots that would fit what she had in mind. So she looked around to find something else for her vertical garden. Then she had an idea with rain gutters (排水槽). Rain gutters could hold water, so why not plants? She decided to 18 them.Back at home, she fixed the boards to her fence for supporting the gutters. She put caps on the end and extra supports in the middle. Then she filled them with potting soil and planted three long rows of 19 .A few days later, there were new leaves.

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.

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.

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.

"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?

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 .

A Dog's Way Home B This kid fights hunger and homelessness Austin Perine is only four years old. 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 a while,” TJ says. “Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.”Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救济中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men 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 Austin 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.

C Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits (特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species (物种) on Earth,the answer is NO! “Usually, there just aren't grandparents living anymore when an animal is born,” , a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an said Mirkka Lahdenperä, 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 groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the group's young while their mothers dive (潜水) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their family members 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 female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenperä, and raise their young to survive if their together. Lahdenperä found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely 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 is believed that It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenperä thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenperäelephant 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 . But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male person's mental health and well⁃being, said Lahdenperä. 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 producingtheir own children and aren't providing so much care,” Lahdenperä said.27. From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _______. A. die after reproducing B. teach the young to dive for food C. have rich experience D. enjoy travelling with grandfathers 28. 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 families C. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental health D. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparents B. Animal grandmas are born group leaders C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect? D. Do any animals know their grandparents? D Over 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 direction 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 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 education of our children. The afford 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. The word “channel” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.A. afford B. direct C. create D. raise 32. The third paragraph is mainly about . A. the benefits of drama education B. the importance of STEM learning C. the abilities needed for STEM learning D. the reasons to improve drama education 33. The writer probably agrees that . A. drama is more important than STEM classes B. drama education has been the nationwide trend C. the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bear D. American students have made progress in playing catch⁃up 四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10 分, 每小题2 分) On Sunday I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family.

The reason for this direction is well founded:research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behindtheir international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers andparents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rushto play catch⁃up in STEM⁃related areas, there's one important aspect that is beingneglected (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 schoollevel helps students improve in many areas, such as self⁃confidence, self⁃expression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree thatall of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the sameparents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject likedrama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult forpolicy 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 iscalling 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 smallerand smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramaeducation has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially incommunication skills thatare very important to a STEM education. As we develop studentswith highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachersthat will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is thebest way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearablydry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in whichthe communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation.Drama improves students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectivelypresent papers in 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 real STEMworld, almos t all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skillsnecessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilledone becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate andwork in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catch⁃up in STEM education isreasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effectarts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. Thequestion parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can weafford 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.

(共10 分,每小题2 分)When it comes to celebrations, birthday parties can be one of the important of the whole year. The gifts, the singing, the candle-blowing... Basically, they’re a ll the best things thrown together into one day. But birthdays aren’t always a fun for everyone. For example, homeless children might not get anything at all for their special day. That’s why 17-year-old Daryn Dusansky decided to start The Balloon Project. It celebrates monthly birthdays for children living in homeless shelters ( 收容所) with the he lp of some volunteers. Dusansky’s dream: to bring smiles to all kids’ faces on their birthdays.As teenagers, they met many challenges at the beginning. One of the biggest was to make others believe that The Balloon Project was dependable and there would be a party each month. Each party is not easy as there are many things that have to be managed. Luckily, The Balloon Project volunteers want each party to be better than the last and can be counted on to make that happen.Getting The Balloon Project off the ground required many leadership qualities (品质) which Dusansky did not know she owned. Working hard, focusing on solutions, and connecting with people are all necessary qualities that have made The Balloon Project a success.Offering services to those in need and creating a positive influence are important in being an active member of a community. Community service teaches life lessons often not taught in school. At one party, a little boy and his father came up to thank her for holding the boy’s first organized birthday party. Dusansky then thanked them for teaching her something, too. The father, who lived in a shelter with his son, looked at her, puzzled, as if he was not worthy of teaching her anything. Dusansky explained to him that he had taught her to have the courage to ask for help when needed. She will never forget his hug.Find a cause that interests you. Dusansky loves birthday celebrations and wants disadvantaged children to have the opportunity to celebrate, too. Love is passed on easily—itencourages people to help and volunteer.34.
