26、 Winslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college,I had always admiredhis works andI was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting “Snap the Whip”. It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.
I thought it truly captured the freedom andfun of childhood. In the painting,a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!
During my last year of teaching,there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me andwe got to be goodfriends. She had been an art student before taking up education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching,after the students hadleft,I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.
She was really surprised,but very glad to have it. I was delighted that she likedit and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.

27、 Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power,we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)", said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. 'The radioisotope(放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries ."
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro systems(MNEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear' and think of something very dangerous." he said. "However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems."
His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon's battery uses a liquid semi conduct or rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构)of the solid semiconductor." Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
【1】Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.
【2】Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 _____.

D. to introduce various energy sources.
【3】Liquid semiconductor is used to _____.
A. get rid of the radioactive waste B. test the power of nuclear batteries
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries D. reduce the damage to lattice structure
【4】The text is most probably a _____.
A. science news report B. book review

28、 Nineteen-year-old Ananya Saluja finds great happiness in bringing a smile to a person’s face. This encourages her to work for the well-being of those in need, all through the year. She volunteers during her summer break in the villages around the town of Leh, Ladakh, Kashmir, and raises money to build libraries for poor children during her school time.
Four years ago, Ananya was an ordinary student with common worries such as studies and exams. She studies at The Shri Ram School in Moulsari, Gurugram, and she got the chance to teach poor children as a part of the community service programme of the school. After finishing the programme, she felt excited and decided to continue with the cause on her own. Ananya said, “During the programme, I got really close to those children. The happiness on their faces after having understood something was worth anything in the world.”
Her summer visits to Ladakh have now become an important part of her life. She visited villages like Liktsey, Turtuk and Tialing in 2015,to teach children. During the summer of 2016, she visited Matho in Leh district where she helped set up a playground for children.
“Since I couldn’t give more than a few weeks of my time every year, I decided to help in other ways. I decided to help them raise money and set up libraries in Ladakh,”said Ananya.
Ananya has raised money to set up 19 libraries. For her, this is just the beginning. She plans to continue the cause and do everything that she can for her kids in Kashmir.
【1】Which of the following word can be used to describe Ananya?
A.humorous

29、 Like most senior high school students in China, 17-year-old Liu Yu, from Yantai Development Zone Senior High School, Shandong, had planned to resume her studies earlier this year to prepare for the upcoming gaokao.
However, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced in late January that the spring term for all schools would be put off due to the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, forcing students like Liu to stay at home.
Rather than falling behind their original plan, Liu and many others have already begun studying full-time again – only from home – in what may have become the largest online teaching trial the country has ever seen.
To go with students’ new learning environment, a “cloud platform” was launched on Feb 17 to provide students in elementary and secondary schools with education resources covering all major school subjects, noted Lü Yugang, head of the ministry’s Department of Basic Education.“Students will be able to attend classes online or study via television,” he told China Daily.
For students in remote or rural areas with poor internet accessibility(获取), a television channel by China Education Television started airing classes on Feb 17 so they can study at home, Xinhua News Agency reported.
But the online platform and TV channel don’t just offer school knowledge.Students can also learn about epidemic(流行病) prevention and control tips during the period, and receive education on patriotism, life and psychological health, according to a guideline issued by the MOE.
For some students, the chance to study from home has had some unexpected benefits.Yuan Siyi, who lives in Hubei province, used to get up before 6 am on school days, but since starting online courses, she gets more hours of sleep each morning.“I like online teaching because I have more freedom at home,” Yuan, who began her all-day courses on Feb 3, told TEENS.
However, online teaching and learning has its weaknesses compared to studying in a physical classroom.“My motivation to study is stronger when my classmates are around me and all working very hard,” Yuan said.According to the MOE, online courses are only temporary measures taken during the epidemic.“When the new term begins, schools will not replace classroom teaching with online classes,” Lü added.
【1】Why didn’t Liu Yu back to school earlier this year as scheduled?
A.Because the novel coronavirus pneumonia broke out.
B.Because she was forced to stay at home by her parents.
C.Because the largest online teaching trial was carried out.
D.Because she wanted to prepare for the upcoming gaokao at home.
【2】What do we know about student’s online study?
A.Students’ motivation to online study is certainly stronger.
B.Students may enjoy more freedom to study thanks to the airing classes.
C.Students are able to attend airing classes on the Internet instead of television.
D.Students are provided with education resources of some major subjects by the “cloud platform”.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Benefits of online learning B.A “cloud platform”
C.Stay in studying D.Epidemic outbreak
