Mathematics is becoming more and more important in today's society, but more and more people find themselves unable to learn mathematics. Here are some suggestions for learning mathematics:

Preview in advance

Preview in advance can have a general understanding and grasp of what the teacher says in class, grasp the key points when listening to the class, and focus on the key and difficult points that you won't be able to hear. However, mathematics textbooks are more obscure and difficult to understand. If you only rely on self-study, it is often difficult to look down and learn. Therefore, it is important to grasp the classroom and follow the rhythm of the teacher in class.

Listen carefully

The concept of fixed classrooms in some middle schools is weak, so the place and seats of classes are moving, and classes are basically held in relatively large ladder classrooms. The classroom space is relatively large. It is recommended that you sit in front, which can hear the teacher's lecture more clearly, facilitate interaction with the teacher, and also enable you to concentrate on avoiding missing knowledge points due to distraction.

Review in time

A lot of knowledge about mathematics is connected. We need to review and summarize the knowledge we have learned so that we can master it. Of course, some students don't have enough patience to review, but they also have to review what they learned in the previous class every day. Review also has to concentrate, must be of high quality, high efficiency, and do not procrastinate.

Mastery

The knowledge of mathematics is advanced layer by layer. The knowledge of the next chapter is closely connected with that of the previous chapter, which requires students to study steadily, step by step, and master key knowledge. They must not learn in a hurry. In this way, they can not connect knowledge, but also disrupt the pace of learning and increase the difficulty of learning.

21．How many suggestions does this article provide for learning mathematics?

    A. 1            B. 2          C. 3             D. 4

22．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?

A. The places and seats of middle school students are random

C. We should study mathematics with high efficiency and quality

D. In order to catch up with the teaching progress, we can learn mathematics                                           knowledge in advance.

23．Where did this article most possibly come from?

    A. newspaper      B. textbook      C. Study Article    D. magazine

It's time to sow again. This time, instead of sowing radishes, he planted wheat（小麦）. When the wheat was ripe, he came to the field and cut the straw to the ground. The devil came again.

Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.

An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's ability to lear on their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learmning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.

Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent.

Samuel Mehr, a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts - arts that can be seen.

“The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music class,” said Mehr. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group. The researchers confirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.

Mr. Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words,“We teach music because music is important for us.”

28．According to the second paragraph, most of the American adults think that          

A. children's ability to learn can be improved by music lessons

B. teachers are satisfied with students who can play a new song

C. students with good performance in school should learn music

D. music lessons are more important than other lessons in school

29．Which of the following belongs to“visual arts” ?

A. music     B. photography    C. literature   D. talk show

30．Which of the following statements is not supported by Samuel Mehr?

A. Learming to play a musical instrument can’t improve a child’s intellectual                                           development

B. Kids gain no advantage in their mental ability from participating in music                                           classes.

C. Music lessons may not add to students’ chance receiving the best education.

D. Music training is unimportant.

31．What can be the best title for this passage?

A. The Best Way to Improve Students’ Intelligence

B. No Evidence Found on the Effect of Musical Training on Intelligence

C. Benefits of Musical Training

D. How to Improve students’ Performance in School

With the popularity of the Internet in recent years, major webcast（网络直播） platforms are in full swing, especially in this special period, many people are staying at home, crazy to engage in webcast. We should treat this problem in a dialectical（辩证的） way of thinking. Everything that is beneficial will have disadvantages. Today, with the rapid development of the Internet economy, "webcast" has become a means of information spreading. Today, with the popularity of webcast, we should comprehensively analyze its advantages and disadvantages.

"Webcast" has become a hot word, and even derived a series of new industries and new occupations, effectively promoting the development of social economy and the diversification of business forms. For example, in the stage of resumption of work and production after the epidemic was effectively controlled, the live broadcast of network anchors promoted the rapid growth of some regional economies to a certain extent. For example, CCTV invited live broadcast talents such as Li Jiaqi and Weiya to combine with stars to carry out live broadcast in Wuhan and other areas with serious epidemic, which effectively and rapidly promoted the economic development of Wuhan at that time. At the same time, educational live broadcasting can make up for the gap between education in backward areas and advanced areas to a certain extent, give children equal opportunities to learn, promote the national plan of educational equity, and let more children see the outside world.

But webcast also brings many problems. First, the quality of live broadcast goods is uneven. Many live broadcasters push and sell the goods in a template manner without detailed understanding. After customers receive the goods, the goods are not the right board. Because of logistics express fees and other reasons, they are also too lazy to argue, resulting in a gradual decline in public praise. Second, while bringing joy and economic growth, the live broadcast of online celebrity has made the social atmosphere more impetuous. The children's ideal has become "I want to be an online celebrity", thinking that there is food by one face. These dregs need to be abandoned. Third, the supervision of webcast is not strict, and vulgar information often appears, which brings bad social atmosphere. To this end, we should first strengthen the supervision of webcast from the institutional level, especially the examination and approval of live broadcast content, standardize all live broadcast platforms, increase punishment, curb the bad live broadcast atmosphere from the source, and set up relevant vocational skills training according to the situation; Secondly, all broadcasters should effectively choose the live broadcast content, conform to the mainstream social value orientation, ensure the quality and level of live broadcast, and gradually get out of the mindset of echoing others; Finally, all public opinion media should create a positive and sunny attitude at the social level, treat the new thing of "live broadcasting" correctly, and guide public opinion to the right track.

32．What does the second paragraph say about webcast?

A. Webcast can promote regional economic development and narrow the gap                                     between urban and rural areas.

B. Webcast allows more children in cities to see the outside world.

C. The goods sold by webcast are of poor quality.

D. We should adhere(坚持) to the correct guidance of public opinion when dealing                                   with live broadcasting

33．What are the disadvantages of webcast mentioned in the article?

A. Cause network congestion.

B. Endanger national security.

C. Bring bad social atmosphere.

D. Cause death of people.

34．What is the meaning of the underlined words in the third paragraph of the article?

A. shabby       B. common        C. foolish      D. silly

35．What is the purpose of the author's writing the first paragraph?

A. Challenge               B. Attract reading interest

C. Make a summary         D. Come to the point

How Old Mascara Wands Can Help Wildlife

When injured and orphaned animals are found by wildlife rehabbers (野生动物康复者), they often need baths and can be covered in all sorts of unwanted pests. Opossums, squirrels, rabbits, and owls all need lots of care.    36    .

One refuge(庇护所) in North Carolina found an innovative way to use discarded mascara wands (丢弃的睫毛膏刷棒) to clean the coats of these rescued animals.    37   .

Appalachian Wildlife Refuge, a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary (庇护所) in North Carolina, began asking people to donate used mascara wands so they can be used to help care for animals. And a nonprofit “Wands for Wildlife” took off in 2017 when wildlife rehabilitator and the refuge's co-founder Savannah Trantham posted on her Facebook page asking for used wands. “Did you know something as simple as an old mascara wand can help wildlife?    38    . They work great because the bristles (刷毛) are so close together!” she wrote.    39    . Since then, the refuge has received hundreds of thousands of wands from every state in the U.S. and from places around the world.

If you'd like to donate, clean old mascara wands in warm, soapy water, then mail them to “Wands for Wildlife”.    40    . Instead, you can help in other ways by collecting them from family and friends, by contributing to the refuge's wish list, or by making a financial donation.

A．We use mascara brushes to help remove fly eggs and bugs from the fur of the rescued               animals.

B．The post was shared tens of thousands of times.

C．It can be painstaking to pick fly eggs and bugs out of the coats of tiny animals as they're being bathed.

D．The refuge immediately received package after package filled with wands.

E．If you don't have mascara wands, the refuge asks that you don't buy news ones.

F．By collecting used wands, we extend the life of a disposable plastic item.

G．Because the wands make quick work of the task plus it repurposes an item that               would've ended up in a landfill.

My Kindergarten Hero

We had just completed a unit on community heroes, and I had given my kindergarten class a task to write or draw about their favorite hero. Each child was busy creating colorful masterpieces such as firefighters, policemen and doctors. Several students had chosen to draw larger-than-life brothers and sisters or moms and dads.

However, one little boy was having difficulty with the assignment. Cameron had touched my heart early in the school year. He had dark brown hair and wore his thick glasses. He looks like a younger version of Harry Potter at best. He often snorted (鼻息声) when he laughed, and the rest of the class would laugh along with him.

Cameron suffered from autism (自闭症), but that didn’t matter to me or his classmates. We all loved him just the way he was. He was full of wonderful stories and brought a special feeling to our classroom. I sat and watched as Austin worked with Cameron. Austin had a wonderful way of interacting with Cameron and he helped him find his hero. Within a few minutes, Cameron quickly began drawing blue lines and curves on his paper—he was particularly fond of the color blue.

Finally, it was time for everybody to share their hero pictures. I listened as each student proudly stood in front of the class, picture held high, and described his or her hero. Several students described their heroes by giving them superhuman strength. It was finally Cameron’s turn to share his hero. Cameron stood up and anxiously placed his large blue stick-figured drawing in front of his face. He then quickly burst out it was a picture of me. He added that I helped him learn things and then quickly sat back down. Tears began to form in the corner of my eyes, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.

注意：

1. 续写的词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    When Austin stood up to share his picture, I was certain it would be a policeman.     

    Cameron suddenly stood up, and put his arms up in the air as if he were going to take of and fly.
