22、Among the constant adjustive education standards and requirements, it’s important to ask a question: exactly what do we want in a high school graduate?

Some people think the goal is to enter college and earn a bachelor’s degree. Others find that interpretation too narrow, preferring that young people leave school with the skills to move into living-wage jobs. But one thing many people can embrace is that high school graduates are skilled in basic math and English.

A proposed law, House Bill 1308,could ruin that goal. Students must do the following things to get a diploma: earn 24 credits of coursework; complete a High School and Beyond Plan matching those courses; meet one requirement of a series of “graduation pathways”. The problem is that these pathways don’t work for all kids.

In large part, that’s because they guide students toward college standards. Last year, after surveying nearly 1,000 students, researchers discovered that 18% of students said they were “not good” at math, and 33% said they were poor test-takers. For them, the current pathways are a barrier because of their emphasis on these skills.

The new pathway is instead focused on performance. It would allow kids to create a presentation—say an exhibit or report — demonstrating mastery of two core subjects, but not necessarily math or English. When the bill came up for discussion, over 350 people showed their support, because it’s possible that through the performance pathway, a student could create a project emphasizing mastery in “fine arts” and “health and fitness”. Rep. Sharon favors the proposal. In a hearing, she spoke of her granddaughter, who wrote and self-published a novel while still in school, to illustrate the kind of project is workable. While Tafona Ervin worries that the lack of emphasis on math and English could lead students to graduate without solid skills.

If the purpose of education is to ensure that young people are prepared to pursue a fulfilling life, finishing school uncertain of one’s abilities in math and English weakens education’s goal.

【1】Why is the question mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To make an argument.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To raise an education problem.

D．To clarify a concept.

【2】How many items does House Bill 1308require for high school students to graduate?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【3】How does the writer make his points persuasive in Para.4?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By offering statistics.

C．By providing suggestions.

D．By doing experiments.

【4】What does the author think of House Bill 1308?

A．Workable.

B．Effective.

C．Awful.

D．Reasonable.

23、How to use humor to make friends

Be cheerful and not worried about anything

Bringing laughter, happiness and smiling to others is more about being light-hearted than it is about “being funny.” 【1】. Just feel happiness, be positive and be light-hearted. Such a mindset is naturally attractive to others.

Be authentic; don’t force it

【2】. It can’t be forced or be planned in advance. When it feels like you’re trying too hard to be funny or friendly, strangers and new acquaintances will interpret your efforts as inauthentic attempts to overcompensate for something.

【3】

Joking is a great way to make others laugh and develop a new connection with people, but you shouldn’t depend upon making jokes at the expense of others, and don’t fall into the trap of making fun of others around you. 【4】

Recognize when to use humor

Think of an uncomfortable situation: you just met an entire table of new people and you don’t remember any of their names; now there is a very awkward silence among the group. How do you break the uneasiness? 【5】. Laughing helps overcome the bridge of social discomfort in any circumstance, and the same applies when you meet new people.

A．With a joke

B．Be able to take a joke

C．Don’t joke at the expense of others

D．You need to expect a joke to be told at your expense

E．It may be funny, but it’s not attractive to laugh at others

F．Don’t think of yourself as having to represent the role of a comedian

G．Connecting with people through humor and happiness has to be authentic

24、   Teaching children to empathize with others measurably improves their creativity, and could potentially lead to several other benefits, new research suggests.

The findings are from a year-long University of Cambridge study with Design and Technology (D&T) year 9 pupils at two London schools. Pupils at School A spent the year following the standard curriculum, while School B’s D&T lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools to foster students’ creativity and empathy in solving real-world problems.

Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking: a well-established psychological test.

The results showed a significant increase in creativity among pupils at School B. At the start, the creativity scores of pupils in School A were 11% higher than those at School B. By the end, however, creativity scores from School B were 78% higher.

Pupils from School B again scored higher in categories such as “emotional expressiveness” and “open-mindedness”, indicating an improvement in empathy was driving the overall creativity scores.

Meanwhile, the study suggests encouraging empathy can deepen pupils’ general engagement with learning. They found that boys in School B showed an improvement in emotional expression, scoring 64% higher at the end of the year than at the start, while girls improved more regarding cognitive empathy, showing 62% more perspective-taking.

The research is part of a long-term cooperation between the Faculty of Education and the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, led by Bill Nicholl and Ian Hosking. “Teaching for empathy has been problematic despite being part of the National Curriculum for over two decades. It’s vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.” said Nicholl.

【1】What was the purpose to introduce engineering design thinking tools in D&-T lessons?

A．To assess the pupils' creativity accurately.

B．To show the superiority of standard curriculum

C．To train pupils to empathize with others in reality.

D．To improve pupils' involvement with class activities.

【2】How did the researchers get the result?

A．By doing an experiment.

B．By conducting interviews.

C．By giving out questionnaires.

D．By referring to related literature.

【3】What can we infer from the study result?

A．The creativity of pupils in School B always took the lead.

B．The empathy of pupils in School A promotes their creativity.

C．Boys and girls differed in their change due to the D&T course.

D．Teaching for empathy has already achieved a lot due to education reform.

【4】Where is the text probably from?

A．A popular journal.

B．A political report.

C．An autobiography.

D．A science magazine.

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。

It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs. Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!

Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.

How clumsy (笨拙的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel                           sighed. She understood Mum was afraid she would spill (溅出) it.

“But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold cure?” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Rachel, Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.

Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried.
