21、Supporters of education technology have made big promises over the past two decades: that by 2019, half of all secondary school courses would be online; that videos and practice problems can let students learn mathematics at their own speed; or that typical students left alone with internet-connected computers can learn anything without the help of schools or teachers.
Then in 2020, people around the world were forced to turn to online learning as COVID－19 shut down schools. It was education technology’s big moment, but for many students and families, remote learning has been a disappointment. When the world needs it most, why has education technology seemed so unsatisfactory?
Educational software has a long history, but there have been two major challenges. The first is that most people depend on human connection to maintain their motivation(动力). When a student closes his computer while having a class, nobody can see it and respond accordingly.
The second challenge is that assessments are especially tough. We can ask students to work out how far a tectonic plate (地壳板块) might move and computers can immediately tell whether the answer is right. But if we ask them to write a paragraph that explains how the tectonic plate works, computers can’t identify correct, partially correct and incorrect responses.
Education technology has long promised to transform (彻底改变) education, but at best, the field has developed individual tools for the curriculum(课程). For school learning, we don’t have online tools or resources that are any better than a printed textbook.
Every technological solution is also a human capital problem: learning with technologies requires giving teachers and students time to play with and get used to new tools and routines. For most teachers, the road to more effective teaching with technology looks less like a transformation, and more like tinkering: a slow and steady process towards finding the right tool or approach for particular students.
【1】What's the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To show off the fruitful past.
B．To lead in the unsatisfactory reality.
C．To prove the efficiency of online learning.
D．To explore the potential of educational software.
【2】According to the text, education technology fails to________.
A．give students immediate responses
B．provide students with correct answers
C．remind students to keep focused in class
D．equip students with communication skills
【3】The author’s attitude towards education technology can be described as________.
A．doubtful
B．confused
C．supportive
D．hopeful
【4】What should teachers do according to the last paragraph?
A．Seek new technological tools for education.
B．Guard against the popularity of online education.
C．Use education technology based on students’ needs.
D．Make thorough changes to their technology teaching.
22、The literary world has a new star. Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration (洞察力) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)”.
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories. Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism. “The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world,” Gurnah told The New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize.—Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired, Gurnah, 73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England. Although Gurnah’s first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language. His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.
Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world’s more preeminent post-colonial writers”.
Ethiopian-American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gurnah’s writings as being “like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in” “He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa,” Mengiste said. “He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren’t heard, but there’s an insistence there that we listen.”
【1】What are Gurnah’s works mainly about?
A．The life of the people in Tanzania.
B．Effects of war and colonialism.
C．Experiences of living abroad.
D．Growth in an underdeveloped nation.
【2】What do we know about Gurnah?
A．He was inspired to write by his refugee experience.
B．He used to be a professor of law and literature.
C．He publishes his works in Arabic and Swahili.
D．He was not well-known until he won the Nobel Prize.
【3】What does the underlined word “preeminent” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Awful.
B．Outstanding.
C．Potential.
D．Productive.
【4】What does Maaza Mengiste think of Gurnah’s writing?
A．It is elegantly written in his native language.
B．It is widely welcomed by people around the world.
C．It is powerful and employs sharp language.
D．It calls for attention to the life of the underclass.
23、New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy(隐私)experts suggest to use it with caution.
The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile(简介). To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian,a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously stored information is presented. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
【1】Which task can SocialRecall complete according to the text?
A．Drawing pictures.
B．Organizing events.
C．Identifying people.
D．Chatting with friends.
【2】What does the underlined word “display“ mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Acquire.
B．Show.
C．Export.
D．Determine.
【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How the app works.
B．How the app was created.
C．What makes the app popular.
D．What people can do with the app.
【4】How does SocialRecall help people with prosopagnosia?
A．By collecting information previously put in the phone
B．By giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
C．By providing the information of a person when they first meet
D．By showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face
【5】What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A．It’s praised for its protective measures.
B．It has caused unintended consequences.
C．It can prevent communication disorders.
D．It might put people’s privacy at risk.
24、After he retired, Chan Jae Lee, who lives in Brazil, decided to spend his days taking care of his two young grandchildren, driving them back and forth to school and taking the opportunity to spend some quality time with them. But when Lee’s daughter moved her family to Korea, he was left with a gaping hole in his life. “All of a sudden, I had nothing to do and I missed them terribly,” Lee said.
In 2015, Lee’s third grandchild was born to his son Ji. He traveled to New York to meet the baby and it was there that Ji suggested his dad begin drawing pictures for his grandkids and posting them on Instagram as a way to keep in touch. “I liked the idea and found a purpose to draw and I learned how to stay in touch with my grandkids around the world,” Lee said.
Lee shares new pictures daily, which are watercolors of toys, vivid landscapes and imaginative animals—all of them are full of Lee’s imagination. And he draws birthday messages and his favourite places in Korea, and uses his paintings to teach the kids about important Korean traditions. Right now, Lee is able to use his art project to create a bond with the youngest members of his family.
Lee has no formal training in art and he teaches himself how to use different techniques to draw, but fans have fallen in love with his pictures. “The reaction was amazing. I couldn’t have imagined it in my wildest dreams,” Lee said. “What started as a small family project has drawn great attention.” He is called Grandpa Chan by his followers and achieves fame.
Lee has even been able to sell some drawings online to help fund more trips to see his grandchildren, but the biggest reward for his Instagram influence has been the reaction he’s gotten from his followers. “Seeing what I’ve done, many people start to reconnect to their own passion for drawing and painting and many people share their stories about their grandparents and parents,” Lee said.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was ten, I was suddenly faced with the suffering of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life, brief as it was, had been spent in that big old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.
When the final day came, I ran to the small backyard and sat alone, with tears welling up from my heart.Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder.I looked up to see my grandfather. “It isn't easy, is it, Billy？” he said softly, sitting down on the steps beside me.
“Grandpa，” I replied through my tears, “how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends？”
For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees. “Goodbye is such a sad word，” he said.“It seems too final, too cold, for friends to use.We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common: sadness.When you and your friends must part, I want you to reach deep within you and bring back that first hello.Come with me, my friend，” he whispered.
We walked, hand in hand, to his favorite place in the front yard, where a huge red rosebush sat noticeably alone.Kneeling, he pulled me close.“It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It's that special place in your heart that makes them so.”
His eyes met mine again.“Billy, I planted these roses a long time ago—before your mother came to the world. I put them into the soil the day my first son was born. It was my way of saying ‘thank you’ to God. That boy's name was Billy, just like yours.I used to watch him pick roses for his mother.” I saw my grandfather's tears.I had never seen him cry before.His voice became hoarse.
