21、Reading the Screen
The debate on literacy is one of the most heated in education. On the one hand, there is an army of people convinced that traditional skills of reading and writing are declining. On the other hand, a large number of progressives protest that literacy is much more complicated than a simple technical mastery of reading and writing. This second position is supported by most of the relevant academic work over the past 20 years. These studies argue that literacy can only be understood in its social and technical context. In Renaissance England, for example, many more people could read than could write, and within reading there was a distinction between those who could read print and those who could manage the more difficult task of reading manuscripts (手稿). An understanding of these earlier periods helps us understand today’s “crisis in literacy” debate.
It seems that there has been an overall decline in some aspects of reading and writing—you only need to compare the newspapers of today with those of 50 years ago to see a clear decrease in vocabulary and simplification of sentence patterns.
While reading a certain amount of writing is as crucial as it has ever been in industrial societies, it is doubtful whether a fully extended grasp of either is as necessary as it was 40 years ago. While print holds much of its authority as a source of topical information, television has increasingly taken this role. The ability to write fluent letters has been weakened by the telephone and research suggests that for many people the only use for writing, outside formal education, is making shopping lists.
The decision of some car factories to issue their instructions to mechanics as a video pack rather than as a handbook might end the automatic link between industrialization and literacy. On the other hand, it is also the case that ever-increasing numbers of people make their living out of writing, which is better rewarded than ever before. Schools are generally seen as institutions where books rule—films and recorded sound have almost no place, but it is not clear that this opposition is appropriate. While you may not need to read and write to watch television, you certainly need to be able to read and write in order to make programs. Those who work in new media are anything but literate. The traditional oppositions between old and new media are inadequate for understanding the world which a young child now encounters. There is evidence that children are mastering reading and writing in order to get on to the Internet.
Nevertheless, there is a crisis in literacy and it would be foolish to ignore it. To understand that literacy may be declining because it is less central to some aspects of everyday life is not the same as reluctantly accepting this state of affairs. The production of school work with the new technologies could be a significant stimulus to literacy. How should these new technologies be introduced into the schools? It isn’t enough to call for computers in every classroom. They will stand unused unless they are properly combined with the educational culture.
【1】When discussing the debate on literacy in education, the writer notes that________.
A．children can read and write as well as they used to

【3】According to the passage, what is the main problem that schools face today?
A．How to teach students the skills of reading and writing.
B．How to apply new technologies to classroom teaching.
C．Raising money to purchase technological equipment.
D．Managing the widely differing levels of literacy among pupils.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Modern communication has completely replaced writing letters.
B．New media has the potential to promote students’ literacy.
C．New technologies are inadequate for us to know about children’s world.
D．Current newspapers use more complicated sentence patterns than before.

23、 A graduation ceremony recording of the national anthem(国歌)became so much better than a social-distancing performance when a man wandering by decided to join in with great harmonies.
Portland State University graduate Madisen Halberg was being recorded in a public city park that runs through the campus, after the school's decision to hold a virtual ceremony on June 14. Suddenly, while the video crew were recording her performance of The Star-Span-gled Banner, the Oregon opera singer Emmanuel Henreid happened to walk by. It was a kind of serendipity. The classically trained singer who performs with the Portland Opera wanted to join in it.
Henreid has been trying to keep his instrument in shape as all local musical venues have been closed and his dates with the opera company cancelled.
“Once he started singing,I immediately relaxed into the sound of his voice,” Hallberg told GNN. “His voice was so good, and I realized I was getting the chance to sing with a super talented musician!”
Hallberg was thrilled that his quest for singing in the streets landed him in her video. “I saw it as a total blessing, and getting the chance to show loving care for others felt truly special during this time of the virus when people are often isolated.”
“I was totally surprised that someone would have the courage to just walk up and sing with me, but that's something that I admire about him. Looking back,I'm so glad that people are touched by what happened,” she added. “I think it's important to spread positivity and hope for the future, and I think that's what two people coming together to sing the anthem can do.”
【1】What does the underlined word "serendipity"in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Entertainment.
B．Tradition.
C．Situation.
D．Coincidence.
【2】What did Hallberg think about Henreid's singing?
A．It's crazy.
B．It's ordinary.
C．It's beautiful.
D．It's embarrassing.
【3】What may be Hallberg's expectation?
A．To organize a different graduation ceremony.
B．To help people overcome the present difficulty.
C．To perform with Henreid in local musical venues.
D．To get people to sing the national anthem together.
【4】Why was the recording special according to Hallberg?
A．It helped her become the focus of others.
B．It offered her a chance to prove her courage.
C．It showed the necessity of singing in the park.
D．It turned into a chance to share positive energy.
24、 That morning, I dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster (领养) mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.
On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Children's Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.
Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's' Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn't take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half-brother came to us by our request. We now had five children under our care.
On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The children's lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing children weren't going home, because they were already home. We are their forever family, and they are our forever children. We may not be able to change the entire world, but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.

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。
I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer. Everyone was in their own little world.
But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too—if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats.
“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have some kind of human connection, I thought.
My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I got in and tured the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed.
I reached for my cell phone to call AAA — then remembered. It was dead, like my car. I would have to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came back into the waiting room, then quickly went back to what they were doing. I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I tured back to the people in the waiting room.
“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people tured toward me to listen. “But my car won’t start …”
The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said. “I’ll go and take a look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me.
