21、Scotland's Gaelic language has been disappearing at a shocking rate for years. With only 60,000 speakers left, the language has been marked as "endangered".
But Gaelic is fighting back. As we drove through the Scottish Highlands, one of the first things I noticed was that all of the road signs were in Gaelic as well as in English. We didn't hear Gaelic being spoken on the streets or in the shops, bars or restaurants around the Isle of Skye, but at the college of Sabhal Mor Ostaig it was all we heard. In the classrooms. in the playground, in the cafes-everyone was speaking Gaelic.
Across Scotland, increasing numbers of parents are choosing to put their children in Gaelic education. Some of those parents don't even speak the language themselves. Flora Guidi is the headteacher of Portree Primary School. She said when she started teaching 28 years ago there were only nine children in the Gaelic unit. But now around half of the children at the school are being taught only in the Gaelic language. Next year a new school is opening in Portree which will only teach in Gaelic to meet the demand.
Over the past years there has been support from the government for the Gaelic language. And there is also a big increase in spending on Gaelic education.
It has caused a great deal of discussion. For some in Scotland, Gaelic is just an unimportant language from Scottish history. But for the people I spoke to on the Isle of Skye, there is a real hope that the young Gaelic speakers will revitalize(复兴)the language that is tied up with their country's identity.
【1】Gaelic is regarded as “endangered” because__________.
A.it hasn't been used for many years
B.the number of people speaking it is small
C.it is only spoken in Scotland
D.it is difficult for children to learn
【2】What do we know about the college on the Isle of Skye from the passage?
A.All of the road signs are written in Gaelic.
B.Students only speak Gaelic in class.
C.Many parents go there to learn Gaelic.
D.It is the most likely place to hear Gaelic,
【3】What can we learn about the Portree Primary School from Flora Guidi's words?
A.She teaches Gaelic in this school.
B.All subjects are taught in Gaelic.
C.There were only nine students in the school 28 years ago.
D.About half of the students are taught in Gaelic now.
【4】For the people on the Isle of Skye, Gaelic__________.
A.is just an unimportant language
B.should be supported by the government
C.is connected with their country's identity
D.is the hope of the young generation
22、The smallest kids on Earth are much smaller than you or your baby brother or sister. They’re even smaller than the hairs on your head. We call them “NanoPutians”(纳米小人). Also known as NanoKids, the NanoPutians aren’t real people. They are actually tiny molecules (分子) made to look a little bit like people.
James Tour invented the NanoPutians as a way to teach kids about nanoscience, which refers to the study of things that are smaller than about 100 or 200 nanometers. “The exact size is less important than the possible applications of working with such tiny things,” Tour says, “Nanoscience is the study and development of the small so that it will affect the large.”
One of the goals of the research is to control individual atoms. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other types of atoms are the building blocks of the universe. They make up planets, rocks, people, trees, CDs --- all the stuff out there. “Most things that people build come together in a top-down way”, Tour says. If you want to make a table, for instance, you cut down a big tree, make wooden boards, and hammer them together. Nature, on the other hand, builds things from the bottom up. When atoms join together they make molecules. Each molecule has a certain shape, and a molecule’s structure determines what it can do. Molecules can make them come together to make a cell --- or a tree.
Tour and his co-workers turned these molecular structures into cartoon figures and made an animated(动画的) science video about the little people, set it to music and started showing it to kids in school while talking about how exciting research on small things can be.
“Learning about the NanoKids has opened up a world of possibility for real kids who ordinarily would rather not study biology, chemistry or physics.” Tour says. When you look closely enough, the really small can be really cool.
【1】What is the purpose of inventing NanoKids?
A.To clone two really similar children.
B.To arouse kids’ attention of the scientific world.
C.To know more about the top-down way.
D.To keep up with the development of nanotechnology.
【2】How did Tour introduce the research on small things to kids?
A.By producing wonderful music.
B.By performing a play acted by kids.
C.By making animated science videos.
D.By turning molecular structures into little kids.
【3】Which section of a newspaper is the text probably from?
A.Science.
B.Economy.
C.History.
D.Entertainment.
23、Make a Good Learning Habit
Habits are regular ways of dealing with your environment.【1】 They can be eating, exercising, even studying. Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis(新冠状病毒危机),you may now study at home just as many students, trying to get into the habit of learning and studying on you own. 【2】 Today, we will explore that very question.
To create a good learning habit, you need to make your new habit obvious(明显的),or easy to see or understand. One way is to organize your place in such a way that the cues(暗示)of your learning habit are very obvious. 【3】
【4】To make your habit attractive, join a culture where your new desired behavior is the normal behavior. For example, you could join a group of other English learners in online meetings. 【5】 An important point to keep in mind is that if you place too many requests on yourself you are more likely to give up on your new learning habit. Finally, you need to make your habit satisfying. You can give yourself a reward after completing your new habit. If you study English for 15 minutes, you could reward yourself by listening to a song you like.
A.They take many forms.
B.They make you learn faster.
C.Make your learning habit simple.
D.How can you improve your study?
E.How can you make a good learning habit?
F.For example, leaving books in a very clear place.
G.Your new habit should also be attractive, simple and satisfying.
