With schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?

Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.

One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and it will most children feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”

Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”

Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.

It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine. Joe Wicks, otherwise known as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10 minute workouts for children on his Youtube channel. Ms Anderson said:” It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of football or dancing around your living room!”

24. Who is the text intended for?

1. Student.         B. Teachers.    C. Coaches.    D. Parents.

25. What does the underlined word“this" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A Homeschooling.         B. Tutoring service.  

C. A regular timetable.      D. Difficult time:

26. What may Nicola Anderson agree?

A. To allow children to adjust schedule freely.  

B. To offer children peaceful study environment.

C. To recommend high-tech to online schools.  

D. To combine routine with kids' mental heath.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. How to improve homeschooling efficiency.  

B. How to obtain online learning resources.

C. How to study attentively at home.         

D. How to design a proper schedule.

                                  C

Ultrasound（超声）is used widely in medical imaging, but in recent years scientists have started developing it for another use: stimulating nerves to treat disease. In two new studies in mice, researchers focused the sound waves on nerves in the spleen（脾）that communicate with the immune system, reducing symptoms. If the approach proves safe and effective in people, it could serve as a treatment for diseases such as arthritis（关节炎）.

In one study, led by scientists at the Feistein Institute and GE Research, mice receiving a few minutes of ultrasound treatment to the spleen nerve had a diminished symptoms to an injected（注射）poison. In another study, researchers at the University of Minnesota and their colleagues reduces symptoms of arthritis in mice by stimulating their spleen nerves for 20 minutes every day for a week. “Zeroing in on the spleen may provide a more precise approach than focusing on the vagus nerve（交感神经）, which connects with the immune system via a second nerve that stimulates the spleen.” says Hubert Lin, lead author of the latter study. “When we’re targeting the spleen we have less of an effect all over the body.”

“Little is known about how repeated ultrasound affects the spleen or whether it has other harmful effects,” says neuroscientist Denise Bellinger of Loma Linda University, who was not involved in either study. An ongoing clinical trial aims to assess the treatment’s safety in humans with arthritis. A bigger unknown is how ultrasound activates in general. Scientists are now exploring the use of ultrasound on other parts of the nervous system, including the brain. “We know how to control nerves with electricity, and we’ve been doing it for more than 100 years,” neuroscientist Kevin Tracey says, “But the idea of controlling nerve signals with ultrasound is a brand-new field.”

28. What do scientists expect of the new application of ultrasound?

A. It'll be applied in medical imaging

B. It'll be used to activate nerves to treat disease.

C. It’ll be applied in spleen transplantation.

D. It'll be employed to rebuild immune system.

29. Whet does the underlined word “diminished" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Complicated.   B. Worsened.    C Decreased.    D. Associated.

30. What is the concern of Denise Bellinger?

A. Side effect.   B. Time length.   C. The procedure.    D. The cost.

31. What is most likely the next step of the study?

A. Assessing the treatment' s safety on humans.

B. Activating nerves in general with ultrasound.

C. Exploring the use of ultrasound on the brain.

D. Controlling nerve signals with ultrasound.

The invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born, and they were about to change the face of our cities.

Since 1901 the world’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New York. Only after the end of the century did the tallest building appear outside North America, with the opening of the first building to be more than half a kilometer tall, Taipei 101.

Tall building are seen as a symbol of success and status by many but they are not always popular with local residents. The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been highly controversial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and most famous landmarks in London.Many feel that such modern constructions should not be built near to historic sites.

London residents should hope that the opening of the Shard doesn’t lead to a major downtown in their economy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirate’s（酋长国的）investment company collapsed.

The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world. One tower which will probably never be built is the 4km high X-Seed 4000 in Tokyo. It was designed in 1995 to attract publicity rather than as a serious proposal, but who knows when such fanciful ideas could become a reality? The Burj Khalifa is more that double the height of the Empire State Building, and surely no one in 1931 would have imagined that.

32. What make the building of skyscrapers possible?

A. The using of the steel frames.

B. The improvement of the wall material.

C. The changing of the city face.

D. 'The increase of the building height.

33. What is most Londoners' attitude towards the construction of the Shard?

A. Supportive.    B. Uncooperative.   C. Acceptable.    D. Critical.

34. How is paragraph 4 developed?

A. By analyzing possible reasons.     B. By stating general characters.

C. By providing typical examples.     D. By listing practical proposals.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Skyscrapers: symbol of success        B. Skyscrapers: ideal buildings

C. The sky's fanciful ideas and reality     D. The sky's the limit

阅读下面材料，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式

When you don't have a greenhouse or enough room on the balcony for a few pots, you can still grow   61  (you) a few tasty home-grown tomatoes in hanging baskets ans window boxes if you stick to short varieties. I’ve even heard of these being grown by canal-boat   62  (owner) on their cabin（船舱）roof, since they’re short enough to fit under the bridges.

You might have trouble  63   (find) suitable plants later but there’s still tome to raise your own form seed if you start straight away. Look for small “tumbling”（下垂的）varieties such    64    Totem and Gartenperle. If you liven in a   65   (nature) cold area, it’s worth looking out for a unique variety called Sub-Arctic Plenty, which has   66  similar size and habit but performs better than most in cooler climates.

All of these will make short plants ideal for pots; they can   67   (place) anywhere with limited space, as long as it’s sheltered and    68   (sun). What’s more, tumbling tomatoes are very easy   69  (grow)because they don’t need to have any side shoots removed and  70  do they need more than a few short sticks for support. Simply water, feed and pick.

Dear Peter

I'm so glad to know that you are interested in traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine, which is an essential part of the health care system in most Asian countries, relies on natural products and has been playing a significant role in health protection and disease control for thousands of years. If you would like to learn more about it, I strongly recommend you to watch TCM broadcast on CCTV-4 weekly, which introduces traditional Chinese medicine culture and advocates healthy and scientific life style. You can find it on www. cctv.com. Hopefully my introduction is helpful to your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any question.
