21、 The UN’s Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the world’s children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled. 【1】 Even though most of the world’s children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub-Saharan African countries, half of nine-year-olds cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence. 【2】
Several recent studies suggest education technology can help. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones.
【3】 That doesn’t mean buying computers for schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a stupidity on which plenty of money has been wasted. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use with minimal help from an adult. The software gets things right more often than the teachers do, adjusts itself to the child’s ability, and sends teachers instructions about what they are supposed to be teaching. 【4】
Technology is no panacea(万灵药) . 【5】 And authorities need to take teachers into account. But education technology can help greatly — by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most important, making up for the failings of the worst.
A. The reason is terrible teaching.
B. The achievements are really great.
C. However, the figure is not as impressive as it sounds.
D. Technology plays more and more important role in teaching.
E. Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.
F. Meanwhile it allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.
G. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on education technology.
22、When the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in British Columbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.
Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”
The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”
Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.

23、 Shortly after World War Il, a Dutch art dealer was arrested for secretly selling paintings by Vermeer（1632-1675） to the Nazis who invaded Holland during the war. Because Vermeer is considered to be one of Holland’s best painters, the dealer was charged with selling national treasures to the enemy. To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings were forgeries（伪造品）， or fakes he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermeer's other works, Why then, did the art world accept the fakes as real？
One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeer's other works. The dealer had claimed that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeer's career. Because painters' styles often change throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect "the new discovery" to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer. In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully. This is because experts expect a forger to copy famous paintings as closely as possible. Once the art dealer's first forgeries were accepted as real, he was free to make more The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also accepted as real Vermeer tings from the same early period.
Another reason experts were fooled is what some historians call The Emperor’s New Clothes Effects. In Hans Christian Andersen’s story, The Emperor’s New Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked. No one in the empire wants to admit that they can’t see the clothes because they believe the clothes are magic and that only good people can see them. Similarly, the art world was influenced by the famous art historian Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeer's best works. Because von Bod was highly respected, other experts began praising the "new discoveries.” At the time, this made it difficult to criticize the paintings or suggest that they were fakes

【3】Why does the author mention the story The Emperor 's New Clothes？

24、Drinking your daily cup of coffee may help to lower your risk of stroke（中风）and heart disease, according to a latest research. Researchers at the Heart and Vascular Centre, Budapest, Hungary have found that drinking up to three cups of coffee a day may help protect your cardiovascular（心血管的）system.
The team studied data from nearly 500,000 people registered in the UK Biobank with an average age of 56 and no signs of heart disease at the time of recruitment. They divided them into three categories according to their coffee drinking habits: non-drinkers, up to three-cup-a-day drinkers, and more than three-cup-a-day drinkers.
Considering influencing factors such as age, sex, weight height, physical activity, blood pressure, diabetes, socioeconomic status, and usual intake of alcohol, meat, tea, fruit and vegetables, they found that three-cup-a-day drinkers had a 12 per cent lower risk of death from all causes, a 17 per cent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 21 per cent lower risk of stroke
"To our knowledge, this is the largest study to systematically assess the cardiovascular effects of regular coffee consumption in a population without diagnosed heart disease," said study author Dr Judit Simon.
To further investigate the effect, the researchers used data from more than 30, 000 partic-ipants in the UK Biobank who had undergone MRI（核磁共振成像）scans to determine the structure and functioning capacity of their hearts.
Dr Judit Simon said, "The imaging analysis indicated that compared with participants who did not drink coffee regularly, daily coffee consumers had healthier sized and better func-tioning hearts. Our findings suggest that coffee consumption of up to three cups per day is associated with favourable cardiovascular outcomes. While further studies are needed to explain the underlying mechanisms, the observed benefits might be partly explained by positive changes in cardiac structure and function. "
【1】What is the latest research mainly about?
A．The risk of heart disease.
B．The ways to avoid stroke.
C．The cups of drinking coffee.
D．The benefits of drinking coffee.
【2】Why does the author mention the influencing factors in paragraph 3?
A．To show the difficulty of the research.
B．To show the reliability of the findings.
C．To introduce the process of the research.
D．To introduce the limitation of the findings.
【3】What do the two data analyses have in common?
A．They find coffee's positive effects on people.
B．They focus on negative changes in people's hearts.
C．They oppose coffee consumption.
D．They have been accepted widely.
【4】What attitude does Dr Judit Simon have to drinking coffee?

B．Skeptical.
C．Favourable.
D．Tolerant.
