21、Raegan Byrd tries to complete her homework every night. But the high school student in Hartford. Connecticut, has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have internet connection at home.

In May, the US Department of Education (DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access (接入) to internet has been getting smaller, but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18percent of homes in the countryside still do not have internet connections.

In some states, the problem is much more serious. For example, in the countryside of northern Mississippi, a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers. And close to half have no access to internet whether they can pay for it or not.

Sharon Stidham, a mother in Maben, has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School. Her husband works there, so the children can use the internet for their schoolwork. A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home, but they could not put aside any money for the internet. Research results from the National Center for Education (NCE) have shown that students with internet at home get much better scores in reading, math and science than the ones who do not. Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”. Jessica Rosenworcel, an NCE member, said, “The so-called homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big barrier to their dreams.”

Local communities (社区) have started to help. They made lists of restaurants and other businesses with Wi-Fi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework. And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year.

【1】What has DOE found out in its survey?

A．Students with internet at home are doing better at school.

B．About 33% of the students in Mississippi do not have internet at home.

C．An increasing number of students do not have access to internet at home.

D．4% more homes in the countryside don’t have internet access than those in the city.

【2】Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School library?

A．Her sons have to use the internet for their schoolwork.

B．She wants her sons to study in a better environment.

C．She does not want to pay for the internet at home.

D．Her husband is a teacher in the library.

【3】How does Jessica Rosenworcel think of “the homework divide”?

A．Unimportant

B．Useful

C．Harmful.

D．Positive

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.

B．Libraries have opened their doors to the students for free.

C．Restourants have volunteered to take in the children.

D．to real communities are called on to take actions.

22、One of the aspects that requires more research when planning your journey to learn English in the United States is your accommodation choice. After all, this will be the place where you will rest after school hours and after having fun in your host city, as well as where you will relax, study, eat, shower... And be sure of something choosing the right accommodation can even help you improve your English language skills!

TALK English Schools offers different accommodation options so you can choose the best alternative according to your personality and preferences, the time you plan to spend studying in the United States and, most importantly, the one that best fits your budget.

Homestay

Homestay is one of the most popular and economic options for international students. You will occupy a bedroom in an American family home, having a real cultural experience and practicing English outside the classroom. Families participating in the TALK Homestay Program are selected, for their convenience of access from home to school via public transportation. In exchange for your accommodation in a safe and comfortable environment, you will participate in family activities, contribute to house chores (家务活) and get involved with the local community.

Different meal plan options are available. It is such a rich experience that it's very common for students to keep a good relationship with their host families even after returning to their home country.

Student Residence

Gaining or securing your independence and sharing your experiences with other students of different nationalities are some of the advantages of student residences. These accommodations are usually closer to schools, eventually within walking distance, and you can share your room with one or two people-sharing expenses will help you save for more fun times during your stay!

23、   William Berloni， 59， is Broadway's dog expert. He trains and manages dogs for musicals and plays that need a well﹣behaved dog. He also works for movies and TV shows with all kinds of animals， including cats， pigs， sheep， snakes and rats. His retired (退休的) actors， including 30 dogs that have acted in shows， live with him and his wife on a farm in Connecticut.

When he was a kid， Berloni's main playmates were his dog， cat and rabbit. But he says he never thought he would become a professional animal trainer. He wanted to be an actor. But while working as an assistant for the Broadway play Annie in 1976， he was given the job of finding a dog to play Sandy.

Berloni visited an animal shelter(动物收容所)， where lost dogs and other pets were kept until they were adopted(收养). The shelter took in so many animals that pets which were not quickly adopted were killed. "I did not know that some animals were killed，" said Berloni， who adopted a dog on the day it was supposed to be killed.

The dog， which Berloni named Sandy， turned out to be a perfect "actor" after a little training. The pair learned from each other， and Berloni became better and better as a trainer. Sandy starred in almost all of the show's 2，377 Broadway plays and enjoyed retirement on Berloni's farm in 1983.

Since then， Berloni kept finding good dogs from animal shelters and the dogs all acted well in shows. How can Berloni train so many good dogs？ "Love is the big motivator (动力)，" he said.

24、Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.

You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian.

At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak-condition gradually reduced.

This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going—you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework the pressure of looking pretty encourages you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less, we become less smart.

These mutations (变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.

However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing (用矛刺) a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modem education means lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.

“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights (洞察力) that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation (进化适应).”

【1】What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?

A．The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.

B．Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.

C．Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.

D．Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.

【2】According to Crabtree, ancient humans ________.

A．had much more genes that determine human Intelligence

B．were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures

C．relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence

D．developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities

【3】Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think ________.

A．people today are under much more pressure than early humans

B．it’s unreasonable to compare hunter’s and a poet’s intelligence

C．modern education is far more advanced than ancient education

D．human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past

【4】What is Thomas Hill’s attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?

A．He is for Crabtree’s theory.

B．He is against Crabtree’s theory.

C．He is worried about Crabtree’s theory.

D．He is confused about Crabtree’s theory.
