22、Software expert James Curran helped rewrite Australia’s new curriculum(全部课程)for information technology subjects. He said the changes to the current curriculum could stop teenagers avoiding computing and maths subjects in high school.“Kids are naturally curious, but we don’t set up the curriculum in a way that awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the things they want to, and the things they have to,”Curran said.“Teaching maths and computing in a new way makes a very big difference.“
As more and more high school students drop out of advanced maths subjects, Dr Curran warned that computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them. Only 1,748 year-12 students enrolled(登记)in software design and development in New South Wales last year—about half the 3,300 who studied the subject 10 years ago. Enrolments in information technology have declined sharply,from 10,000 in 2001 to just 1,939 students in 2021.
“Students are not taking computing subjects at the senior level because the subject is a bit out of date,”Curran said.“Computing is a subject that changes all the time and needs to be changed every few years, so I would like to see a continuous process of smaller changes and updates to it.”
As schools struggle to make students stick with the subjects of information technology, engineering and maths,1,000 primary schools across Australia have signed up for a new pro-gram to get young kids interested in high-tech jobs. The program uses online lessons to show children as young as six the process of designing the Olympics logo, and how Netflix collects information to decide which movies to make.
11-year-old student Mia Lucas had fun completing a model on UX design. It is the“user experience”process that design teams use to create products.“I’ve always been interested in creating a website or an app but didn’t know the first step in doing that,“ she said.“The pro-gram helps me a lot.”
【1】What is the new curriculum supposed to be according to Curran?
A．Typical.
B．Controversial.
C．Appealing.
D．Challenging.
【2】What can we know about computing subjects in Australian schools?
A．They are less popular with today’s teenagers.
B．They are valued negatively by many schools.
C．They are harder than advanced maths subjects.
D．They are keeping a continuous rate of updating.
【3】How does the new program encourage the students to take computing subjects?
A．By offering high-tech jobs to them.
B．By turning lessons into virtual ones.
C．By letting them choose subjects freely.
D．By showing applications of the subjects.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Australian students are deserting the computing subjects
B．A new curriculum fails to work with Australian students
C．How did an Australian student fall in love with computing?
D．Why did Australian schools stick with computing subjects?
23、 For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest(征服)of time and distance.Travel is something to be enjoyed,not endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the everchanging sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting,inflight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being‘processed’at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways;baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being‘processed’at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern highspeed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it;whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday maker,too,with the limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.Speed controls people's lives;time saved,in work or play,is the important thing—or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.
【1】What does the writer try to express in Para 1?
A.Travel by plane has sped up the growth of villages.
B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short
C.The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams
D.Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place
【2】How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving instructions. B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By following the order of time. D.By giving examples.
【3】According to Paragraph 3,passengers are turning back to modern highspeed trains because________.
A.they pay less for the tickets B.they feel safer during the travel
C.they can enjoy higher speed of travel D.they don’t have to waste time being‘processed’
【4】What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A.They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B.They needed the clock to tell the time.
C.They preferred traveling on horseback.
D.They could travel with their master.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Air travel benefits people and industries.
B.Train travel has some advantages over air travel.
C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
24、In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and preparing for the worst, Australian adventurer Peter Seiter wrote a farewell note to his family, put it in a bottle and threw it overboard. With a sense of bad feeling he wrote: “The ocean has a personality of its own. The place can be such a peaceful environment to be in, yet it can be frightfully violent. I’ve experienced both.” Fearing he wouldn’t make it home, he placed the note -- dated June 11, 1998 -- in a wine bottle and covered the bottle.
“I included my geographical coordinates, so if anything happened to me, they’d know my last place when I threw the bottle into the ocean,” says Peter, who was then sailing from the Azores in Portugal to New York and knew the Atlantic could be dangerous. He also included some money with his message, asking whoever found it to use the money to post the letter to his family.
Seventeen days later he reached his destination, having survived the dangerous seas, but he assumed his message in the bottle had not -- until it was found on shore, 11 years later!
Recently, American woman Katherine Ginn and her friend came across the bottle on a deserted beach in the Bahamas. “Alongside it they’d found a life jacket and, assuming the worst, opened the bottle and spent 24 hours drying it out so they could read my story and write to my family as I requested,” says Peter, 44. “I couldn’t believe it -- that after all these years my bottle had turned up with its contents, still undamaged.”
Overjoyed, he wrote to the pair, saying he was alive and living in Australia with his family.
Katherine posted him his letter, money and some broken glass of his bottle placed in a tiny box as a special souvenir. These special items now share pride of place among photos of Peter’s Atlantic voyage. “I can’t express what this old letter means to me,” Peter says. “It gives me a sense of hope and belief. It’s something special to share with my children as they grow up.”

A. He missed his family very much then.
B. He hoped to share his experience with his family.
C. He regretted taking a risk on the ocean.

【2】As for the survival of the message bottle, Peter ________.
A. felt very certain about it
B. thought it had little chance of reaching land
C. took a long time to search for it
D. wrote a letter to Katherine
【3】What can be inferred about the message bottle according to Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Katherine found it by chance on a crowded beach.
B. It was 11 years before they came across it at sea.
C. Perhaps there was water in it when Katherine found it.
D. Peter couldn’t believe more that it was not damaged.
【4】From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. this was Peter’s first voyage in the Atlantic
B. Peter spent eleven days in the Atlantic
C. without the life jacket, the bottle wouldn’t have survived
D. Katherine was a caring and careful person

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。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called, “Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals (脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.
After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an capable person as my dad. We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右：
