21、Supporters of education technology have made big promises over the past two decades: that by 2019, half of all secondary school courses would be online; that videos and practice problems can let students learn mathematics at their own speed; or that typical students left alone with internet-connected computers can learn anything without the help of schools or teachers.
Then in 2020, people around the world were forced to turn to online learning as COVID-19 shut down schools. It was education technology’s big moment, but for many students and families, remote learning has been a disappointment. When the world needs it most, why has education technology seemed so unsatisfactory?
Educational software has a long history, but there have been two major challenges. The first is that most people depend on human connection to maintain their motivation(动力). When a student closes his computer while having a class, nobody can see it and respond accordingly.
The second challenge is that assessments are especially tough. We can ask students to work out how far a tectonic plate (地壳板块) might move and computers can immediately tell whether the answer is right. But if we ask them to write a paragraph that explains how the tectonic plate works, computers can’t identify correct, partially correct and incorrect responses.
Education technology has long promised to transform (彻底改变) education, but at best, the field has developed individual tools for the curriculum(课程). For school learning, we don’t have online tools or resources that are any better than a printed textbook.
Every technological solution is also a human capital problem: learning with technologies requires giving teachers and students time to play with and get used to new tools and routines. For most teachers, the road to more effective teaching with technology looks less like a transformation, and more like tinkering: a slow and steady process towards finding the right tool or approach for particular students.
【1】What's the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To show off the fruitful past.
B.To lead in the unsatisfactory reality.
C.To prove the efficiency of online learning.
D.To explore the potential of educational software.
【2】According to the text, education technology fails to________.
A.give students immediate responses
B.provide students with correct answers
C.remind students to keep focused in class
D.equip students with communication skills
【3】The author’s attitude towards education technology can be described as________.
A.doubtful
B.confused
C.supportive
D.hopeful
【4】What should teachers do according to the last paragraph?
A.Seek new technological tools for education.
B.Guard against the popularity of online education.
C.Use education technology based on students’ needs.
D.Make thorough changes to their technology teaching.
22、You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen (新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common worry with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are possibly worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.
【1】What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Game.
B.Discussion.
C.Training.
D.Examination.
【2】What are freshmen probably worried about?
A.The learning task.
B.The ability to make friends.
C.The friendship with teacher.
D.The freshman orientation.
【3】Extracurricular activities mainly help students _________.
A.build up healthy bodies.
B.develop their interests.
C.develop friendships.
D.improve their learning ability.
【4】Who is the passage written for?
A.Freshmen at high school.
B.Freshmen’s parents.
C.Middle school students
D.Upperclassmen in high school.

24、Linda Tutt High School opened a unique grocery store in the city of Sanger, where instead of paying for products with cash, their community can earn points which they then trade in. How do they gain points? By performing good deeds! All students, staff members and families in the school district have access to the daily goods they need to get through COVID-19——free of charge.
The store is supplied through a partnership with First Refuge Ministries, Albertsons grocery store, and Texas Health Resources. It is open three days a week. They even offer a COVID-friendly curbside(路边) pickup on Tuesday nights! It is meant to provide necessary daily goods for families in need. Families are automatically awarded points based on their family size, but students can help the families earn more by helping out around the school, cleaning, or getting good referrals(推荐) from their teachers. Headmaster Anthony Love called it “the ingenious method” , compared with the traditional approaches used to make students help others.
The store is operated and managed entirely by the students. Not only are they encouraged to show others kindness, but they also have a sense of control during this uncertain time. “Many of them come from low-income families that need just a little extra support with food,” Anthony added.
So the store has the extra profit of giving its student employees valuable experience. “I think this is the most exciting part of it, which they can carry with them as they graduate from high school and move on into the world,” Anthony said.
What a brilliant way to support their community! Between providing daily goods for families, giving kids experience concerned, and making their school a better place through good deeds, traditional businesses could learn a thing or two from this approach!
