21、Hip-hop culture covers many fields; it includes spoken words, break-dancing, beat-making, painting, fashion, lively design, technology, and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists launch school programs, summer camps, and other activities connected city youth in the classroom through the beliefs of hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who once would have been strongly against hip-hop — have joined the crew. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become a legitimate(合法的) field of study in universities and the subject of numerous books.
Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent. Teachers must be willing to engage in it if it's part of the unique reality of their students' lives. That way, teachers can truly be effective, reaching students in a meaningful, culturally connected way.
Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous knowledge or experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected(分离的) from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don' t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it's your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator. Hip-hop is about a respect for youth culture.
【1】Those who once most probably disagree with hip-hop education are ___________.
A. middle school teachers B. unofficial artists
C. the young living in cities D. university teachers
【2】The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.
A. familiar B. similar
C. popular D. regular
【3】The author finds teachers’ lacking in hip-hop culture might be beneficial because _________.
A. students will frighten teachers at school
B. teachers can learn from students in the field
C. teachers will connected the culture with lessons
D. teachers’ knowledge or experience will be enriched
【4】Who would the young like to learn from?
A. Those who respect their culture.
B. Those who are interested in music.
C. Those who keep their character real.
D. Those who are willing to learn from others.
22、From self-driving cars to care-bots（care+robots） for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
【1】We can infer from the text that in the future _____.
A．people will face many difficulties
B．people will take up more creative jobs
C．artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D．most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
【2】According to the report, _____.
A．people won't necessarily lose jobs
B．big companies will face fewer challenges
C．small companies will win against big companies
D．most people will become interested in technology
【3】What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A．Mixed
B．Worried.
C．Hopeful.
D．Doubtful.
【4】Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.
A．there will be enough jobs for people
B．things will change a lot in a few years
C．many people will become unemployed
D．technology will totally change future jobs
23、In a country where over 80% of residents live in public housing, a government commitment to sustainable urban design could have huge influence. And when it’ s a tropical country like Singapore where convenience and air conditioning are a way of life, the impact could be greater still.
Promising 42,000 new homes across five residential districts, the eco-town of Tengah will be the 24th new settlement built by Singapore’ s government since World War Ⅱ. It is, however, the first with centralized cooling, automated trash collection and a car-free town center, with which environment lovers hope to offer a roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the Southeast Asian city-state.
The development is named as “Forest Town” by officials, due to its abundant greenery and public gardens. Once home to brickmaking factories, and later used for military training, the 2.7-square-mile site has been reclaimed by a forest in recent years. A 328-foot-wide ecological “corridor” will be maintained through its center, providing safe passage to wildlife and connecting a water catchment area on one side to a nature reserve on the other.
The project has proven a new plan for urban planners supporting green design principles and “smart” technology, according to Chong Fook Loong, group director for research and planning at Singapore’s Housing and Development Board, the agency overseeing the country’s public housing. “Tengah is a new start,” he said in a video interview, explaining that roads and parking are being pushed beneath the town center. “We’re going for the ideal concept of separated traffic, with everything underground and then the ground level totally freed up for pedestrians — for people. So, it’s a very safe environment for all.”
“We want a town that allows walking and cycling in a very user-friendly manner,” he added, saying that cycling has “taken off” in Singapore in the “last three to five years especially”. The master plan will see the installation (安装) of electric vehicle charging stations.
【1】What is special about the 24h new settlement?
A．It can house 42,000 people.
B．It will be well equipped.
C．It will be built by the government.
D．It will be environmentally friendly.
【2】Which of the following might be the design of the forest town.
A．
.
B．
.
C．
.
D．
.
【3】What can we learn from Chong Fook Loong’s words?
A．A parking lot will put in the town center.
B．Separated traffic will be applied.
C．Bikes will be able to fly in the near future.
D．All masters will install charging stations.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Ways to reduce carbon emissions
B．A green roadmap for Singapore
C．Eco’ smart’ city of Singapore
D．A smart electric vehicle technology
24、Cleary was working as a librarian in Washington, when a little boy marched up and asked, “Where are the books about kids like us?” Cleary realized she had had the same thought as a girl. There had been plenty of books about kids but none that appealed to common neighborhood kids. So she set out to fill that gap. The hero of her first book Henry Huggins was an adventurous third-grader with hair “like a scrubbing brush” and a skinny dog named Ribsy.
Cleary was born on her family’s farm. When she was 6, they moved to Portland. Though Portland would become the sting for many of her books, she struggled to adapt to city life. Cleary was a slow reader at first, but in third grade she was going through a children’s novel when she “discovered I was reading,” Cleary said, “and enjoying it” Cleary found both comedy and drama in the smaller incidents of life, but she did not avoid serious themes. In 1977’s Ramona and Her Father, Ramona tries to persuade her dad to quit smoking—hanging a sign at home reading “NO SMOKING”. To attract her own young son to read, Cleary created a new character for 1965’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle—Ralph S. Mouse, a creature who makes friends with a human boy.
For 30 years Cleary answered her fan mails herself. Dear Mr. Henshaw was inspired by two letters asking her to write a book about a boy whose parents are divorced. The novel, constructed as a series of letters between a lonely sixth-grader and his favorite writer, won the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children’s literature. Whatever she wrote, Cleary was always guided by the child she had once been. “That little girl,” she said, “prevents me from writing down to children and from writing an adult recollection (回忆) about childhood instead of a book to be enjoyed by children.”
【1】Why did Cleary decide to write books for ordinary kids?
A．A little boy asked her to do so.
B．It was her dream as a little girl.
C．Ordinary kids couldn’t afford books.
D．Books then didn’t attract ordinary kids.
【2】What can we know about Cleary from paragraph2?
A．Many of her books were set in Portland.
B．She adapted to city life very soon.
C．She disliked reading at the fourth grade.
D．Her books were mainly comedies.
【3】Which novel won the top prize for children’s literature?
A．Henry Huggins.
B．Ramona and Her Father.
C．Dear Mr. Henshaw.
D．The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
【4】Who does the underlined “that little girl” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．One of her fans.
B．The young Cleary.
C．A lonely six-grader.
D．The character Ramona.
