21、 I have been a teacher for some years. In my opinion, I don't believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) could replace my teaching career. I have always been interested in human connection, and the ways in which I can use these connections to inspire change and make a difference. 【1】, there are other ways where AI could make a more efficient and effective difference than I could on my own.
My teaching experiences over the past several years have been creative and inspiring- 1 believe that the job of educators extends beyond simply teaching students a set curriculum. 【2】. They must constantly reflect on ways to better their teaching, and they must inspire their students to be the best versions of themselves. And now with the help of Al, they could achieve these goals much easier.
【3】 . First, AI can be used to promote fundamental skills, such as mathematical education and vocabulary lessons. Additionally, I see AI being used for necessary tasks such as answering questions and grading assignments. Thus I could focus my attention on establishing human connection, individualizing lesson plans and inspiring my students.
The benefit AI brings is far beyond my own classroom. 【4】. According to Todd Leopold, close to 800 million people worldwide are functionally illiterate （不识字的）.Due to its ability to efficiently pass knowledge across large groups of people, fewer teachers may be needed in some schools. 【5】.
A. Since students will always need a human teacher
B. I believe AI could provide a strong basis for educational equality around the world
C. I think AI is a powerful assistant to my future classroom
D. The need for students to learn how to use Al will also grow
E. Although human connection may never be able to be fully replaced by AI
F. This could be an opportunity for students everywhere to receive equal education
G. They must observe and get to know their students in order to individualize educational plan
22、Your Weak-Tie Friendships Matter
For nearly ten years, I have spent my Monday evenings attending rehearsals for my amateur choir (合唱队). Mondays are not my favorite day, and I often arrive in a bad mood, but by the end of the rehearsal, I usually feel energized. The singing does me good. So do the people. With a few exceptions, I would not describe my fellow choir members as close friends. We exchange brief chats, smiles and jokes — but that is enough for me to come away feeling a little better about the world.
There is no choir practice now, and won’t be for a long time. I miss it. In lockdown, I do not feel short on emotional support, but I do feel short of friendly faces and casual conversations. Another way of putting this is that I miss my “weak ties.”
In 1973, Mark Granovetter, a sociology professor at Stanford University, published a paper entitled “The Strength of Weak Ties.” Until then, scholars had assumed that an individual’s well-being depended mainly on the quality of their relationships with their close friends and family. Granovetter showed that quantity mattered, too. He categorized a person’s social world as “strong ties” and “weak ties.” His central insight was that for new ideas, weak ties are more important to us than strong ones. As Granovetter pointed out, the people whom we often talk to swim in the same pool of information as we do. We depend on acquaintances(相识的人) whom we see infrequently to bring us news of opportunities.
This was the idea behind the Pixar building, the design of which was overseen by Steve Jobs. The building has a large central hall through which employees from different departments have to pass several times a day. Jobs wanted colleagues to bump into each other and shoot the breeze (闲聊). He believed in the power of these seemingly random conversations to fire up creativity.
Encounters with weak ties can be good for our mental well-being, too. Gillian Sandstrom, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex, investigated the extent to which people get happiness from weak-tie relationships. She found that on days when a person had a greater number of casual interactions with weak ties — say, a local barista (咖啡师), a neighbor, a member of yoga class — they experienced more happiness and a greater sense of belonging.
For these reasons, we should continue to find ways to cultivate weak-tie relationships, during lockdown and beyond. Sandstrom adds that we can also engage in more weak-tie-style interactions with our strong ties. The goal is to let others know that you are thinking of them without asking for a great deal of time, energy or attention.
【1】What can we learn about the author from the article?
A．She has been a keen singer from an early age.
B．She finds her Monday workdays quite difficult.
C．She barely knows most of her fellow choir members.
D．She has trouble maintaining friendships during lockdown.
【2】According to Mark Granovetter, it’s less likely for you to get new ideas from your “strong ties” mainly because you tend to ________.
A．have the same concerns
B．avoid conflicts of interests
C．see each other too frequently
D．be exposed to similar facts and ideas
【3】What is the function of the central hall in Pixar building?
A．It helps staff build friendship.
B．It allows staff to have a break.
C．It encourage staff to meet and chat.
D．It helps Jobs communicate with staff.
【4】What does Sandstrom want to convey in the last paragraph?
A．We can develop weak ties into strong ties.
B．We should spend more time with strong ties.
C．We should balance weak ties with strong ties.
D．We can apply casual interactions to strong ties.
23、Finding success in blended learning
Blended (混合的) learning offers students flexibility as it is a mixture between remote and face-to-face learning where you can set your own learning pace.
Create a planner
Instead of doing everything just before a deadline, blended learning models motivate you to set and follow a continual learning schedule.【1】 Having an optimized (最优化的) planner allows you to use your time smartly while increasing your productivity, decreasing your stress levels and having more time for yourself.
【2】
Once you have a daily planner filled with upcoming assignments and planned lessons, it’s time to apply the ABCDE method. If you have to complete four online assignments before tomorrow, mark the most important tasks with “A”, the second most important tasks with “B”, and so on.
Do not multitask
Multitasking can drastically reduce your focus levels and lead to cognitive ability impairment (认知功能障碍). But it can be hard to avoid multitasking, especially when you’re in the middle of an online course, and a notification (通知) pops up. 【3】
Track study time
【4】The blended learning model includes completing a part of your lessons at your own pace, making it easy to lose track of your progress. Track your studying time with a time tracker and, during tracking periods, just focus on the task in front of you.
Don’t forget friends and hobbies
Blended learning can be stressful and challenging, but it gives you a flexibility that traditional education lacks. It’s essential to focus on all parts of your student life and avoid neglecting some aspects. 【5】If so, you’ll have more than enough time to form meaningful relationships, try new hobbies, and find your true passion despite the ongoing pandemic.
A．Use mind maps
B．Set priorities
C．It’s better to do a whole body exercise and then concentrate on a certain task.
D．To excel in this method, create a study and activity planner for an upcoming week.
E．Setting an actual time when you’re going to focus on studying is extremely important.
F．You should also learn how to organize yourself and prioritize your university obligations.
G．Therefore, while preparing for a face-to-face lesson or doing assignments online, use an extension that blocks distracting websites.
24、 “The comic waist challenge”, in which netizens try to imitate a comic character's pose with their legs on a chair and the upper body dropping to the ground, almost bending the waist in half, has become the latest craze to hit China's social media.
The topic has obtained hundreds of millions views on Weibo with many net users posting photos of the challenging pose to show how sexy and flexible they are.
Meanwhile some netizens argue that it is just an expansive gesture of yoga pose. So some people consult the doctors if the gesture is very dangerous. Medical experts have warned net users of the seemingly harmless yoga pose, as it may lead to damage to one's vertebrae by causing muscle strain and increasing the risk of lumbar degenerative disease.
The new challenge follows a series of similar controversial Chinese body image trends including the A4 waist challenge (measuring women's waists against a piece of A4 paper which is 21 centimeters wide), the belly button challenge (reaching one's belly button from behind), and the coin collarbone (balancing coins on people's collarbones for as long as they can) which faced heavy criticism worldwide on social media.
Women in China have long associated being beautiful with being skinny, but a desire to be thin is often taken to the extreme, with harmful effects on health and self-esteem - a situation not unique to China.
Although the opinions of the issue vary, maybe the change of the attitudes towards it is just over the horizon. Rejecting body anxiety is more than just a slogan. Many workout-obsessed women are increasingly realizing that no matter how hard they try, they won't be supermodels, and acknowledging that figures can vary due to a number of factors. This is an important step on their path to self-acceptance. Being healthy and maintaining the spiritual well-being have become the new pursuits for many.
【1】According to paragraphs 1 and 2, what do you know about the comic waist challenge?
A．It leads a trend among netizens.
B．It's an easy comic character's pose.
C．It's a harmless yoga pose.
D．It's a symbol of the beauty of body image.
【2】Which of the following is NOT the Chinese body image trends according to the passage?
A．The A4 waist challenge.
B．The belly button challenge.
C．The coin collarbone.
D．The finely chiseled nose.
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．women in China prefer following trends
B．all women in China are desperate to be thin
C．the pursuit of beauty has nothing to do with our health
D．many women in China care more about their health than beauty now
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The body image trends — a pursuit of Chinese women
B．The comic waist challenge — a slap in the face
C．The attitudes of Chinese towards beauty
D．The body anxiety nowadays
