21、 Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This, however, has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?
Of course there will always be learning by osmosis (耳濡目染) in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue.
I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed (使融入) itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It’s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.
Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, “that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!” we draw out from them the required virtue: “When you’re walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?”

22、 My kids and I were heading into the superstore over the weekend． On the way， we saw a man covered by a blanket and holding a sign that said， "Lost my job． Family to Feed．"
At this store， a sight like this is not normal． It was obvious that the man was embarrassed， but desperate． My 10-year-old noticed him and said how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind．
While we were in the store， I asked each of the kids to pick something they thought our "friend" outside would need． They picked a couple of apples， a package of bread， a sandwich， some cheese and a bottle of juice． Then my 17-year-old asked， "Can we get him a gift card？" I thought about it． We were low on cash ourselves， but …well， sometimes giving from our "need" instead of our "abundance （充裕）" is just what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week．
We quickly checked out， with the foods he could eat at the moment， and a gift card for the store． At the suggestion of my 16-year-old， we also bought a hot cup of coffee， and then drove to the end of the parking lot， where our "friend" was holding his sign．
We handed him the coffee and the bag of food． He thanked us with watery eyes． When I handed him the gift card and said he could use it for whatever his family might need， he burst into tears， obviously overwhelmed and grateful．
Though I wished we could have done more， I can't help but think about how this experience has been such a wonderful opportunity for our family． The feeling of helping someone else has affected them all---they cannot stop talking about it， and for four days now have been searching for others we can help!
Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said， "No， we really don't have money to give more，" or something to that effect． Stepping out not only helped a brother in need， it also gave my kids the______ taste of helping others．
【1】Which is the right order of what happened in the story？ ______
a． The man was grateful with tears．
b． Each child picked some food for the man in the store．
c． A poor man lost his job and asked people for help．
d． All kids did away with something and gave him a gift card．
e． They saw the poor man outside the supermarket and took pity on him．
A. c-e-b-d-a
B. c-e-d-b-a
C. e-c-d-b-a
D. e-c-b-d-a
【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. giving him some food
B. giving from our abundance
C. giving from our need
D. giving him a postcard
【3】The best word could be filled in the blank in the last paragraph should be ______ ．
A. terrible
B. sweet
C. tiring
D. hopeless
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph？ ______
A. If mother had said NO， the kids would have helped in a different way．
B. They had helped many people before offering this poor man help．
C. They won't help more people because they can't afford to do so．
D. They will try their best to help more people in the future．
23、Rethinking Obesity(肥胖症)
In principle, it sounds simple: eat less and move more. This dietary advice for dealing with obesity has been around for decades. 【1】 So why hasn’t this approach to weight control worked?
One possibility is that we haven’t tried hard enough. Perhaps we have lacked the discipline and willpower to maintain healthy dietary and exercise habits—a challenge made more difficult today for those surrounded by inexpensive, tasty highly processed foods.
【2】 In a recent paper, my colleagues and I question the basic assumption of whether taking in more calories than you burn really is the primary cause of obesity. We argue that we are driven to overeat because we are getting fatter.
The key to how this works in obesity is insulin (胰岛素) processed, rapidly digestible carbohydrates (碳水化合物食品) raise our insulin level too high. 【3】 A few hours after eating a high-carb meal, the number of calories in the blood stream falls suddenly, so we get hungrier sooner after eating.
The two opposing views of cause and effect in obesity have very different implications for how to prevent and treat weight problems. The usual approach focuses on how much to eat, with prescriptions (处方) for daily calorie intake. 【4】 Higher-fat foods may help get rid of body fat, a possibility supported by clinical trials comparing high-fat diets with low-fat ones.
This way of thinking might help explain why calorie restriction usually fails long before a person with obesity approaches an ideal body weight. A low-calorie, low-fat diet further restricts an already limited supply of energy to the body, worsening hunger without addressing the underlying tendency to store too many calories in body fat. 【5】
Although much more research will be needed to test this idea, it is time to question the basic assumptions about cause and effect calories and weight gain that have controlled our thinking.
A．Yet, worldwide obesity rates just keep going up.
B．In our view the emphasis should be place a on what to eat.
C．It is important to control the amount of food consumed by us.
D．Obesity is a disease that affects 650 million adults worldwide.
E．Or perhaps the problem is the focus on “calorie balance” itself.
F．Weight loss becomes a battle between mind and metabolism(新陈代谢).
G．This causes fat cells to take in to many calories, leaving fewer for the rest of the body.
24、AI that Sees like Humans
For most of the past 30 years computer-vision technologies have struggled to perform well, even in tasks as boring as accurately recognizing faces in photographs. 【1】. Companies are already selling products that exploit the technology, which is likely to take over or assist in a wide range of jobs that people now perform.
Recent progress in a deep- learning approach known as a convolutional neural network(CNN) is key to the latest progress. 【2】 While human can easily distinguish between a cat and a dog, CNNS allow machines to categorize specific breeds more successfully than people can.
CNNS do not need to be programmed to recognized specific features in images--- for example, the shape and size of an animal’s ears. 【3】 To train a CNN to separate an English springer spaniel (斯柏林格斯班尼犬) from a Welsh one, for instance , you start with thousands of images of animals, including examples of both breeds. Like most deep-learning networks, CNNS are organized in layers. In the lower layers, they learn simple shapes and edges from the images. In the higher layers, they learn complex and abstract concepts--- in this case, the more detailed aspects of ears, tails, tongues, fur textures, and so on.
CNNS were made possible by the tremendous progress in graphic processing units and parallel processing in the past decade. But the Internet has made a big difference as well by feeding CNNs’ appetite for digitized images. 【4】 The technology is making self-driving cars safer by enhancing the ability to recognize pedestrians. Insurers are starting to apply these tools to assess damage to cars. In the security camera industry, CNNS are making it possible to understanding crowd behavior, which will make public places and airport safer.
A. Once trained, a CNN can easily decide whether a new image of an animal shows a breed of interest.
B. Instead, they are taught to spot features such as these on their own.
C. Recently, though, breakthroughs in deep learning have finally enabled computers to interpret many kinds of images as successfully as , or better than , people do.
D. To give a simple example of its power, consider image of animals.
E. Computers-vision systems powered by deep learning are being developed for range of applications.
F. It excels because it is better able to learn, and draw inferences from telling patterns in the images
25、 There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the ____ that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式).

Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from ____ activities.
Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in ____. According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread. ____ through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.

26、阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.
Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.
Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to — people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.
【写作内容】
1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。
2. 以约120个词就“How to deal with rejection”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：
