21、JENNIFER SALLS---A high school math teacher in Sparks, Nevada
It is possible to construct good online courses that would support mathematics learning with middle and high school students. However, these courses would not look like most current online courses.
When we imagine an online course, we think of a solitary (孤立的)process in which a student is holed up with his or her computer, watching PowerPoints, paging through screens of text and solving a whole bunch of problems. While learning may be occurring, I suspect that it’s short-term with little real understanding of mathematics. There are some students who learn well under these circumstances, but this is not true for the majority of students. A good online course would take advantage of the many interactive resources. For example, if students were learning to solve equations, they would be directed to solve a carefully arranged set of problems using an interactive program. They would reflect on the interaction and share their observations with others taking the course.
Eventually, the lesson would move students toward solving equations, using their experiences with the interactive program as the jumping-off point. Students could experience real-world problems through video and simulations and use a variety of computer-based tools to solve these problems. Notice that a course like this is not solitary, but highly interactive, and it builds both problem-solving skills and conceptual knowledge.
BRIGID BARRON-A psychologist at Stanford University’s School of Education
Whether or not any computing tool used in the classroom will interfere with or energize learning depends on how the teacher organizes its use.
When online courses are well designed, they offer learners and teachers wonderful opportunities. Hybrid models that combine classroom interaction with tools like blogs, podcasts, social networks and discussion forums can engage students in ways that traditional environments do not. When students are given challenging material, asked to carry out research and to create ways to share what they are learning with students from all over the world, engagement goes up.
There are other benefits. Assessment of student learning can be partly automated and designed to provide continuous feedback. When students need assistance, they can be directed to activities that will help them learn. Perhaps most importantly, online courses can help bridge gaps in course offerings within a school district. Many economically challenged schools don’t have the resources to provide specialized or advanced courses, but those courses could be offered online.
Many students are already using technology in their own time to learn and create, for their own purposes or for school assignments (作业). If they know where to look, they can access online communities that foster (促进)their imagination and offer informal mentorship (辅导). Instead of wondering whether teenagers are too easily distracted by computers, we should be figuring out how we can use digital media to sustain (维持) teenagers’ interest and their desire to learn.
【1】According to Jennifer Salls, in most current online classes, ______.
A．students hardly learn anything
B．students are made to learn all on their own
C．students are led to improve their self-study abilities
D．students focus more on theories than on problem-solving skills
【2】Which of the following statements best summarizes Salls’ opinions?
A．Online courses should try to make the most of interactive resources.
B．Schools today pay more attention to students, conceptual knowledge.
C．Students cannot learn mathematics effectively through online courses.
D．Thanks to online classes, teachers’ work load can be greatly decreased.
【3】Brigid Barron mentioned all of the following potentials of online classes EXCEPT ______.
A．narrowing the gap between rich and poor
B．providing students with real-time feedback
C．teaching students how to exploit online resources
D．maintaining students’ interest throughout the course
【4】Both Salls and Barron believe that_______.
A．good courses should combine advanced technology and online resources
B．teachers play an important role in ensuring the effectiveness of online classes
C．students should be able to learn effectively through well-designed online classes
D．online courses are more effective only when students are assigned challenging tasks

24、If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错). Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
【1】Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A. he can’t read or write
B. his parents haven’t a good memory
C. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
D. he doesn’t make good use of his memory
【2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.
A. they will become thin
B. they will become weak
C. they begin to ache all over
D. you can’t use them any more
【3】Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.

【4】Give the best title for this passage. ____.
A. Don't Stop Using your Arms or Legs B. Learn from the People
C. How to Have a Good Memory D. Strong Arms and Good Memories
25、Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Now that we have briefly explored the history of the short story and heard from a few of its creators, let us consider the role of the reader. Readers are not empty vessels that wait, ________ raised, to receive a teacher’s or a critic’s interpretation. They bring their unique life experiences to the story. With these ________, the best readers also bring their attention, their reading skills, and most importantly, their ________ to a reading of a story.
My students always ________ me to discuss, analyze, interpret, and evaluate the stories we read without destroying the excitement of being beamed up into another world. For years I struggled with one response after the other to this challenge. Then one day I read an article by a botanist who had ________ the beauty of flowers by x-raying them. His illustrations showed the rose and the lily in their ________ beauty, and his x-rays ________ the wonders of their construction. I brought the article to class, where we discussed the benefits of examining the internal ________ of flowers, relationships, current events, and short stories.
A short story, ________, is not a fossil to admire. Readers must ask questions, guess at the answers, ________ what will happen next, then read to discover. They and the author form a partnership that brings the story to life. Awareness of this partnership keeps the original excitement alive through discussion, analysis, interpretation, and ________. Literary explorations allow the reader to admire the authors’ ________ as well as their artistry. In fact, original appreciation may be enhanced by this x-ray vision. The final step is to appreciate once again the story ________ — to put the pieces back together.
Now it is your turn. Form a partnership with your author. During your adventure in reading, enter into a ________ with the published scholars featured in Short Stories for Students. Through this dialogue with experts you will revise, enrich, or ________ your original observations and interpretations.
During this adventure, I hope you will feel the same as the listeners that surround the neck of my Pueblo storyteller.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old’s early tiring summer, I had set up a tent (帐篷) in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers’ play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never happened to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her head. “Hi. I’m Maria. What’s wrong with you?” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I’m Jane. I…” she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night? I’ll be off tomorrow morning” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house. Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.
I cleaned and bandaged (包扎) her injured head and then gave her some bread and meat to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent?" I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness. Walking across the dark yard, I went into tent with Jane. We lay down side by side. Caught by curiosity and concern, I turned over again again, wondering what had happen to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak. Jane’s father died of cancer years before. Her mother did some cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw a fine white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

Jane’s 16th birthday came but her mother didn’t get home until the evening.
