21、Among the constant adjustive education standards and requirements, it’s important to ask a question: exactly what do we want in a high school graduate?
Some people think the goal is to enter college and earn a bachelor’s degree. Others find that interpretation too narrow, preferring that young people leave school with the skills to move into living-wage jobs. But one thing many people can embrace is that high school graduates are skilled in basic math and English.
A proposed law, House Bill 1308,could ruin that goal. Students must do the following things to get a diploma: earn 24 credits of coursework; complete a High School and Beyond Plan matching those courses; meet one requirement of a series of “graduation pathways”. The problem is that these pathways don’t work for all kids.
In large part, that’s because they guide students toward college standards. Last year, after surveying nearly 1,000 students, researchers discovered that 18% of students said they were “not good” at math, and 33% said they were poor test-takers. For them, the current pathways are a barrier because of their emphasis on these skills.
The new pathway is instead focused on performance. It would allow kids to create a presentation—say an exhibit or report — demonstrating mastery of two core subjects, but not necessarily math or English. When the bill came up for discussion, over 350 people showed their support, because it’s possible that through the performance pathway, a student could create a project emphasizing mastery in “fine arts” and “health and fitness”. Rep. Sharon favors the proposal. In a hearing, she spoke of her granddaughter, who wrote and self-published a novel while still in school, to illustrate the kind of project is workable. While Tafona Ervin worries that the lack of emphasis on math and English could lead students to graduate without solid skills.
If the purpose of education is to ensure that young people are prepared to pursue a fulfilling life, finishing school uncertain of one’s abilities in math and English weakens education’s goal.

22、 When I was first married to my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto, but they moved, with us, to Ottawa when they were quite young. They grew up there, and then, chasing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada's east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast to Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.
At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to consider retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn't be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. I helped him move.
So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little corner of paradise but we have paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching each of them grow up; we have missed the normal, noisy households that have young people in them. Our home, while very comfortable, is also very quiet.
Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly.
Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and we are secure in the knowledge that they love us but the reality is that they don't need us. We have done our jobs and, at least in theory, we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. They have also missed having a set of parents and grandparents around.
Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.

D.The weather of winter in Canada is very awful.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

23、Four Days in the Highlands
Riding one of the world’s best trains is the ideal way to experience the peaks, valleys and first-class food of Scotland.
DAY 1
To pick up the Royal Scotsman you’ll need to be in Edinburgh the night before, thus giving you time to have dinner at the city’s coolest restaurant, the Little Chartroom. Then it’s a leisurely start as you board the Royal Scotsman, one of the world’s finest classic trains. Cabins are small but perfectly formed. Enjoy afternoon tea as you wind through valleys before arriving in Keith for the night. Then opt (选择) for drinks in the Observation Car, or stretch your legs in historic Keith.
DAY 2
After breakfast, head to the Observation Car. This is one of the best parts of the trip, as the train snakes alongside fishing villages and dense woodland. Then disembark for Cawdor Castle, one of Scotland’s loveliest privately owned castles. Take a guided tour before reboarding the train. Tonight is a formal dinner.
DAY 3
Today the train makes its way into Moray, with an unmatched coastline. Head to Ballindalloch, a grand castle. There’ll be champagne on the lawn, cakes in the house and a chance to wander through the ancient woodland. You’ll sleep well, possibly thanks to an on-board whisky tasting that hits just the right spot.
DAY 4
The train moves deep into the heart of the dramatic Cairngorms today. You can take fly-fishing or clay-pigeon shooting lessons at the Rothiemurchus Estate before heading off to one of Scotland’s crown jewels. Then it’s back on-board for one final delicious dinner and a teary goodbye.

24、 For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.
The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.
China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.
Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?
A．To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.
B．To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.
C．To illustrate the long history of writing poems.
D．To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.
【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?
A．The heat shield on the spacecraft.
B．The camera on the front of Zhurong.
C．The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.
D．The rocket engines above the landing platform.
【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?
A．To build a shared future for mankind.
B．To look for signs of life on the red planet.
C．To push the boundaries of space exploration.
D．To inform people of our achievements in space.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.
B．China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.
C．Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.
D．Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.
