22、When you first step into a classroom, one of the first things to catch your eye is usually a list of rules. However, there's one rule that you just can't help but question: No electronics. In reality, the classrooms in our school have an aversion to modern technology, so electronic devices(设备)such as computers and cellphones are not allowed, for they are thought to have a bad influence on children's attention at class. However, is it possible that these devices could actually be used to improve our learning experience?
As is known to us, these years we have spent so much time talking about the disadvantages of modern technology that we've failed to see their advantages in a classroom. Many people of the 80's and 90' still remember learning about history by playing the game TheOregonTrail, and many of us 2000's teenagers remember games such as BrainAge that encouraged our cognitive(认知的)development.
It doesn't end with educational games, either. Take Minecraft for example. While a parent may complain(抱怨)that their child spends too much time playing the hit video game, what they probably fail to realize is that their child's brain is being enriched with information allowing creativity and problem-solving. Children who play on public or local computers may also pick up on social skills. For older children, creating computer games can be a great introduction to coding(编码). Many schools have begun to bring the game into their classrooms.
In the end, it's important that we welcome technological development in our classrooms and see the educational value in having fun. School no longer must mean sitting down for hours in front of a pictureless textbook. Instead, school can be a place where children are able to see learning as a lifelong experience.
【1】What does the underlined part "have an aversion to" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Change.
B.Dislike.
C.Expect.
D.Overuse.
【2】Some computer games are mentioned to show________.
A.parents know little about computer games
B.children can create better computer games
C.children can learn from computer games
D.parents only welcome educational games
【3】What is the author's attitude towards electronic devices?
A.He is against them.
B.He is in favor of them.
C.He is uninterested in them.
D.He is uncertain about them.
23、There's no guaranteed roadmap to success in study.【1】The following tips are a great place to start.
·Get enough sleep
【2】Your ability to remember can drop by as much as 40 percent if you haven't had adequate sleep. Aim to get adequate sleep as many nights as possible, and try to keep the same sleep schedule every night, even on weekends.
·Know when you work best
【3】There is plenty of research indicating benefits for both nighttime studying and early morning studying, so you shouldn't feel pressured to maintain an uncomfortable schedule. As long as you are getting enough sleep and keeping up with your commitments, your schedule is up to you.
·Try the pomodoro method
The Pomodoro Technique is a focusing method that relies on short bursts of intense work and plenty of breaks. To try the technique, set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a single task. When the timer rings, take a five-minute break, then set another 25-minute timer and get back to work. After four 25-minute intervals, take a longer break. You may find that the Pomodoro Method' helps you get more done in a shorter period of time without feeling burnt out.【4】
·【5】
There is a massive body of research that links exercise with good grades and improved learning and cognitive skills—especially if you exercise first and study second. If you don't have time to hit the gym, go for a quick walk. Fresh air and a change in environment will help you create connections and solve problems.
A.Sweat and study
B.Change locations.
C.The importance of sleep cannot be overstated.
D.Plus, short study breaks are known to improve concentration.
E.High-stress study sessions can have harmful effects on both your GPA and your health.

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。
Autism is a mental disorder that affects children, particularly their ability to relate to other people. Having a child with autism adds an additional learning curve to parenting. And parents with kids with autism know just how beautiful and cruel it can be because they aren’t kids who fit into society’s typical mold. It simply means that parents, friends, strangers, caregivers, neighbors, and teachers need to find different ways to create a supportive community because every individual with autism is uniquely different.
Daniel, who has autism, recently wrote down his wish and Keivn, Daniel’s father, shared that because of his son’s autism. Daniel typically prefers to play alone. In fact, throughout his entire childhood Daniel never once asked to go play with friends. But this year, Daniel made a special birthday wish. The request floods and shocked his father because Daniel’s birthday wish was to make a few friends.
Kevin often shares updates about Daniel on social media in hope of recording his life. He is clearly aware that social skill training is important and difficult to autism children. After he learned of his son’s birthday wishes, he eagerly wanted to make Daniel’s birthday just a little sweeter.
On social media, he wrote, “Daniel is my son. Profoundly Autistic, he hasn’t one single friend. It’s his birthday today.” He posted his son’s written birthday wish and politely asked others to put in and wish his son a happy birthday. A dad’s heartfelt birthday wish for his son is the most beautiful story you will find, and this one is taking over the Internet.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Kevin didn’t realize this simple request of kindness would spread so widely.
