21、Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But it won’t necessarily help you learn. Guessing is a better method. Always first find the answers for yourself. It will help you do better on the exam. If you instead find and copy the correct answer, you’ll be less likely to remember it in the future.

For many years, students improved by answering questions and did best on the exam. But by the late 2010s, many students were doing more poorly on the exam than on the homework leading up to it. They would even ace the very first homework. That was the one that tested them on what they had not yet learned. In 2008 , only around 3 out of 20 students did better on their homework than on the exam. But that grew over time. By 2017 , more than half of the students did this way.

What had changed over those years?Students might blame(责怪)themselves.They’d think “I’m not smart enough,”or“I should have studied more.”But something else was going on. One big thing was the rise of smart phones. They appeared in 2008 , but were not common. Now almost everyone carries one. So it would be easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about my homework question. But students can’t use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they aren’t doing as well on the tests.

Coming up with answers on your own should lead to better learning for you students at any age. If you find and then copy the right answer, you’re taking the easy way out. And that is wasting a good practice chance .It may take a few more minutes to think of an answer on your own, then check to if it’s right. But that’s the way you’ll learn more.

Now that information is easily available to everyone all the time ,it probably doesn’t make sense for teachers to expect students to take exams without searching online.Instead , teachers should come up with homework and   exam questions that Google can’t easily answer.

【1】What is the author’s attitude to finding answers online?

A．Uncaring.

B．Mixed.

C．Unsupportive.

D．Unclear

【2】How do students do on their exams and homework now probably?

A．They do worse on homework than on exams.

B．They do their homework as well as their exams.

C．Most of them do better on homework than on exams.

D．Most of them do better on exams than on homework.

【3】What does the underlined word “ace” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Put effort into.

B．Do well in.

C．Pay attention to.

D．Get involved in.

【4】What does the author suggest to teachers?

A．They shouldn’t allow students to use phones.

B．They shouldn’t give a closed-book exam.

C．They must cut off the Internet in schools.

D．They should give students new questions.

22、A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to host the 6 o’clock news in Baltimore. The whole goal in the media at the time I was coming up was try to move to larger markets, so getting the job at 22 was such a big deal. And I was so proud，because I was finally going to have my chance to be like Barbara Walters, who had been my idol since the start of my TV career. I was 22 in 1976, making $22,000 a year, it didn’t feel right yet.

The first sign was when they tried to change my name. The news director said to me at the time, “Nobody’s going to remember Oprah. So, we want to change your name. We’ve come up with a name we think that people will remember and people will like. It’s a friendly name: Suzie.”

I grew up not loving the name, but once I was asked to change it, I thought, well, it is my name and do I look like a Suzie to you? I thought, no, it doesn’t feel right. I’m not going to change my name. And whether people remember it or not, that’s OK.

And then they said they didn’t like the way I looked, so they sent me to a salon where they gave me a perm (烫发). After a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head. At last, they really didn’t like the way I looked, because I was black and bald and sitting on TV wasn’t a pretty picture.

But even worse than being bald, I really hated being sent to report on other people’s tragedies as a part of my daily duty. And after eight months, I lost that job. They said I was too emotional. But since they didn’t want to pay out the contract, they put me on a talk show. And the moment I sat down on that show, the moment I felt like I’d come home. I realized that TV could be more than just a playground, but a platform for helping other people lift their lives. And the moment I sat down, doing that talk show, it felt like breathing. And that’s where everything that followed for me began.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph1?

B．Barbara Walters was a host the writer admired most.

C．The writer didn’t feel right because she thought she could earn more.

D．Determined and sympathetic.

【4】What can we learn from the writer’s story?

A．Pride goes before a fall.

B．Opportunity knocks only once.

C．Practice makes perfect.

D．Let your heart talk more.

23、   There is no doubt that in its short existence, the Internet has already had a powerful impact on everyday life. Never before has information been so readily available.【1】Considering how fast this medium of communication has taken hold, it's perhaps not surprising that it has also had a rather huge impact on the language we use.

So, today we're taking a closer look at how exactly social media and the Internet are affecting our everyday communication.

【2】This might be a fitting example of how much vocabulary that got its start on the net has come into everyday use. In addition to "selfie", "to Google" has become a widely accepted verb, "photobombing" is a known phenomenon and we have Facebook to thank for "unfriending". This list goes on and on.【3】Think about "wall", "wireless", "tablet" and "like". They're now used in completely new ways.

While gaining new vocabulary and evolving（逐步发展）is something languages have always done, the Internet serves to speed up this process considerably. Another curious thing is the speed at which new vocabulary is introduced, used, overused and abandoned in the Internet Age.

【4】In an age when anyone can be their own author, editor and publisher, it might not be surprising that traditional grammar rules are being replaced by something more flexible.

The development of the Internet has changed many parts of our life.【5】

A．Half of the content online is in English.

B．Besides, common words stand for something different.

C．There are also many forms of informal writing on the Internet.

D．More than a quarter of Internet users are between the ages of 15 and 24.

E．Keeping in touch with friends and family across the planet has been made so easy.

F．It has certainly changed the way we practice and communicate with language.

G．In 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary stated "selfie" as their Word of the Year.

24、Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work - a life's work in the agony（痛苦） and sweat of the human spirit. But I would like to use this moment as a climax from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same agony and sweat, among whom is already that one who will someday stand here where I am standing.

Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.

He, the writer, must learn them again. He must teach himself that the worst of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is short-lived and doomed - love and honor and pity and pride and sympathy and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse（诅咒）. He writes not of love but of desire, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or sympathy. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands（腺体）.

Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of sympathy and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and sympathy and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

【1】The word “that” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.

A．the agony and sweat of the human spirit

B．the general and universal physical fear

C．the sustenance and endurance for a long time

D．the human heart in conflict with itself

【2】According to the speaker, the old truths of the heart are so important that ______.

A．they are love, honor, pity, pride, sympathy and sacrifice

B．they prolong a writer’s life and protect him from curses

C．they are the soul of a real and powerful piece of writing

D．they can effectively stop the trend towards the end of man

【3】How can poets / writers help man endure and prevail?

A．By inspiring man with his past glories through words.

B．By helping man endure the end through endless voices.

C．By recording sympathy, sacrifice and endurance in his soul.

D．By building spiritual pillars through immortal hearts.

【4】The speaker may probably agree that ______.

A．the award was not fair because his life was too painful

B．young writers now are too fearful to bear the agony and sweat

C．the biggest obstacle to good writing is the writer’s fear

D．writing about man’s soul signals his final prevalence
