21、My students entered the art room with their usual eagerness to see what they would be learning in today’s class. Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation.
I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadn’t tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to.
They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artist’s objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique.
Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos.
Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique.
【1】Which of the following is one of the benefits of flipped teaching?
A. Teachers needn’t check students’ homework
B. Students can control their own learning pace.
C. Students can choose whatever they want to learn.
D. Teachers can develop their own teaching methods.
【2】Who plays a central role in the flipped teaching?
A. The artist. B. The parent.
C. The teacher. D. The student.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A. The flipped teaching I used in art class
B. Jonathan Bergmann’s flipped teaching
C. A teaching method spreading the nation
D. A new painting technique called glue batik
22、
Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that you can eat it. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda (大熊猫) eats only one particular type of bamboo (竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly (蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat food with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
【1】We can infer from the text that humans and animals ________.
A.depend on one sense in choosing food
B.are not satisfied with their food
C.choose food in similar ways
D.eat entirely different food
【2】Certain animals change their choice of food when ________.
A.the season changes
B.the food color changes
C.they move to different places
D.they are attracted by different smells
【3】Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A.The white butterfly.
B.The small bird.
C.The bear.
D.The fox.
【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A.food is chosen for a good reason
B.French and British food is good
C.some people have few choices of food
D.some people care little about healthy diet
23、 When high school head teacher Mervyn Tennant retired and moved to the fishing village of Oracabessa Bay on Jamaica's north coast, he had to witness a regular and heartbreaking sight-some people illegally hunting the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtles(海龟)and stealing their eggs.
Prized on the black market for their great qualities, sea turtle eggs fetched much more than an average wage in the community. "If they worked on a building site, that would be equal to a month's pay," Mr Tennant says.
Oracabessa Bay is where the author Ian Fleming created James Bond, probably the world's most famous fictional spy. It is now a tourist attraction, attracting visitors from all over the world. However, until recently the landscape hid a cruel reality-coral reefs were dying off, and fish numbers had dropped increasingly. The tourism and fishing industries were threatened.
Mr Tennant is one of the many residents of the village who decided to fight back to protect not only the turtles, but entire community's ecosystem. The Oracabessa Bay Fishing Sanctuary(OBFS)was established in 2019. It is a non-profit organization.
In 2020 the National Environment and Planning Agency(NEPA)had painted a cruel picture for sea life. It reported that coral reefs were over 90 percent threatened and had been taken over by fast-growing algae(海藻).Fish numbers were low and virtually all sea turtles and their eggs were being hunted on the nesting beach.
Fishers, marine biologists, hotel owners united not only to restore corals, fish stock and sea turtles, but also to establish sustainable livelihoods and a community capable of living in harmony with nature.
With support of the Global Environment Facility's Small Grants Programme(SGP)and UNDP, OBFS set out to preserve the marine ecosystem in the 74-hectare natural reserve and to bring back fish, sea turtles and coral.
【1】What was a heartbreaking sight to the retired head teacher?
A.Hunting set turtles illegally.
B.The sea turtle's dying off.
C.The fish number's dropping.
D.The disappearance of some sea creatures.
【2】Why did some people kill the endangered turtles?
A.To add collections
B.To eat them as food.
C.To earn money.
D.To satisfy curiosity.
【3】What can we infer about Oracabessa Bay?
A.It is the birthplace of James Bond.
B.It used to be an attractive place.
C.It faces an economical problem.
D.Its ecosystem is breaking down.
【4】What is the goal of OBFS?
A.To fight back fast-growing algae.
B.To live in harmony with land.
C.To make ecosystems healthier.
D.To attract visitors.
24、A Cornell University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce(确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren’t used to the early hour.
“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent (青春期的)sleep at Cornell’s School of Medicine.
Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns(方式).
Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.
Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matter of choice—their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.
All of this makes the transfer(迁移)from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning—all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when they try to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying. “I need a timeout.”
【1】Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because
______.
A. students work so late at night that they can’t get up early
B. students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early
C. it is biologically difficult for students to rise early
D. it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtime
【2】The underlined phrase “nod off” most probably means “_______”.
A. fall asleep B. turn around
C. agree with others D. refuse to work
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Mary Carskadon?
A. Adolescents are going through a change of sleep patterns.
B. Adolescents need less sleep than they used to at childhood.
C. Adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning.
D. It is difficult for adolescents to get up early for a 7:30 a.m. first bell in high school.
【4】What is the test mainly about?
A. Adolescent heath care.
B. Adolescent sleep difficulties.
C. Problems in adolescent learning.
D. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.

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。
We arrived at our new house after two hours' drive from grandpa's farm. Mr. O'Malley, my old dog, simply ran around, smelling every corner of our new house. He cocked his head at the front door and listened to the unfamiliar traffic noise.
On request, I called my grandpa. He picked up on the first ring. "Max, How's your new house?" "Fine. " I swallowed hard, trying to hold back my tears. "I miss you already. "
"It's been so quiet since you left," he said. "Even the squirrels (松鼠) miss being chased by O'Malley, your big ugly dog! You'd better watch him. That dog is used to running wild on this farm. Your mom's going to be busy with her new job. It's up to you to keep him out of trouble. " My grandpa laughed. "You know, I could keep him here on the farm, since you will be coming up every weekend".
"I know," I said. But I couldn't give up my dog for five days a week!
Mr. O'Malley howled all week long. In the evenings, Mom and I walked him together because it took both of us to hold him back. What he wanted to do was run.
At last Friday came, and we packed to go to my grandpa's farm. I was eager to let my dog run loose.
As we started out of the door, Mr. O'Malley pulled hard and I lust the grip. Morn hung on for a moment, but she slipped in the mud and ended up on her face. Mr. O'Malley took off.
We jumped into the car and caught up to Mr. O'Malley. We chased Mr. O'Malley all the way to the park before he'd had enough and was ready to get in the car.
Finally we were on our way to the farm. "That dog can actually run thirty miles an hour!" Mom started to laugh.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
As soon as we arrived at the farm, Mr. O'Malley and I slipped away to look for squirrels.
