26、Are “Basics”Enough for Students?
An American education expert says many schools are spending too much time teaching the ―basics‖ – reading, math and writing. That might be different from what educators have been saying in America. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really need a well-rounded（全面的）education that includes music and the arts.
King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math, reading and writing. His parents died when he was young. He said things in his house were frightening. It was his teacher in Grades Four, Five and Six – Mr. Osterweil – who helped him escape from his difficult life at home. Each day in Mr. Osterweil’s class, students would read a newspaper. The teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoos and famous museums.
“Those were powerful, life-changing experiences,‖ King says. After he graduated from Harvard University, he took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. ―I’m alive today, I’m doing the work that I do today because I had Mr. Osterweil during that period of my life,‖ King says. ―Students need to connect their studies to things that matter to them, such as music, if they want to become a thinker.‖
A 2013 report by UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）, says world needs people to be able to solve new and unusual problems now. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO says teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different from that in many western countries. ―The educators in those three countries pay more attention on joyful experiences and children’s interests,‖ the report says. ―In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math.”
Comparing countries is hard because they have different ways to define success. For example some people may think getting high marks in exams is success, while others may hold different views. A 2014 survey by the Program for International Student Assessment tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China with the highest scores. Singapore was the top one with a score of 562 out of 1,000. The average（平均的） score was 500. The United States had a score of 508, one point behind Germany.
So it may be worth rethinking what we should focus on in our class. The ―basics‖ is not the only part of education.
【1】 We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. King’s family life was warm and happy
B. King’s teacher focused on ―basics‖ more
C. educators in the West teach music for joy
D. arts can help students solvenew problems
【2】 The word “define” in Paragraph 6 probably means―_________”
A. get the pleasure of B. make full use of
C. give the meaning of D. take the place of
【3】 The writer probably agrees that______.
A. students need more than “basics”to learn
B. getting high marks in exams is success
C.education depends a lot on the hobbies
D. we need more time to learn “basics”
27、The UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the world’s food crisis (危机), according to a research group. A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.
Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.
Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.
In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over £200,000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was “close to meat” and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.
The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from £200,000 to £8, so in the future it could be even less.
【1】The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ______.
A．what lab-grown meat is
B．how lab-grown meat is made
C．what lab-grown meat tastes like
D．when people can eat lab-grown meat
【2】The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that ______.
A．lab-grown meat is cheaper
B．chicken meat can be made in the lab
C．lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meat
D．English people first tasted lab-grown meat
【3】The writer probably agrees that ______.
A．lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problems
B．lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meat
C．making lab-grown meat will cost too much money
D．lab-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?
B．What does lab-grown meat taste like?
C．When could people eat lab-grown meat?
D．What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?
28、On a snowy day, Robert Louis Stevenson took a paintbrush and draw a map of the island called treasure island. He named the hills, rivers and harbors of the island one by one. And all the faces of the characters came to his m【1】. So the book Treasure Island was born.
The main character is a boy called Jim Hawkins, living in a safe and p【2】 world with his parents at the beginning. This life l【3】 until he found a map showing the location of the island with huge treasure that had been h【4】 by the terrible pirate Captain Flint. Jim joined Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney on a j【5】 to find the treasure along with a number of different pirates, who were led by the fearful Long John Silver. During the adventure, the boy got over his fear to fight bravely a【6】 the pirates. In the end, he successfully returned home with the treasure and he also g【7】 into a mature young man. So many readers think Jim’s search for treasure is a process for his search for h【8】.
In this book, readers can enjoy the adventure fun and exciting travel experiences all the time, so it can be said that if Chinese children grow up reading Journey to the West, then W【9】 children grow up reading Treasure Island. This book is also praised as the g【10】 adventure stories after “Robinson Crusoe”.
