The 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks (任务) through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be useful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was teaching their children to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Instead, Chen taught them how to create interesting animations (动画片) and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 19. What does the underlined word “opposed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. disagreed with B. wrote down C. worked out D. fixed up 20. What did Chen teach her students in the coding class? A. How to play video games on the computer. B. How to prepare for difficult coding languages. C. How to create interesting animations and games. D. How to use the Internet to search for information. 21. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The students were not interested in coding at first. B Chen’s students won the first place at a competition in 2021. C. Most parents think coding is too difficult to learn. D. Chen plans to put more time and energy into teaching coding. 22. What is the best title for the passage? A. Coding Helps Students Think Better B. Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children C. Coding Gets Popular in China’s Schools D. Teacher Connects Coding with Chinese Language 【答案】19. A 20. C 21. D 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了云南省沧源县一位名叫陈元春的农村小学教师教农村孩子编程的故事。 【19题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“but some parents opposed her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was teaching their children to play video games on the computer.”可知，家长不理解编程，认为陈老师在教孩子玩电脑游戏，所以反对她的计划；据此可以推断，划线单词“opposed”意为“反对”，与“disagreed with”意思相近。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead, Chen taught them how to create interesting animations and games.”可知，陈老师在编程课上教学生如何创建有趣的动画和游戏。故选C。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year.”和最后一段“I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,”可推断，编程课很受欢迎，陈老师计划更加努力地投入到编程教学中，使山区的孩子变得更好。故选D。 【22题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，本文主要讲述了云南省沧源县一位名叫陈元春的农村小学教师教农村孩子编程的故事；选项B“老师教农村孩子编程”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 C It was a dark and stormy night.

Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the begınning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that!

The 44-year-old woman teaches Chinese, but she is very interested in computer technology. She has introduced coding (编程) to her students as an important information technology skill. Chen’s connection to coding began in November 2018. She became one of the first teachers in Cangyuan to take training courses on coding. The training was challenging for a beginner like Chen. She needed to learn how to tell a machine to perform actions and finish tasks (任务) through different orders. She worked very hard because she believed this skill would be useful for her students. After the training, Chen started a new group in her school to teach the students coding, but some parents opposed her plan. They didn’t understand what coding was and thought Chen was teaching their children to play video games on the computer. So, Chen could only teach students of her own class at first. For teens, coding does not include writing difficult coding languages. Instead, Chen taught them how to create interesting animations (动画片) and games. After only one term, every student was able to create something through coding. Learning coding also helped them become more creative and improved their problem-solving skills. Soon, coding classes became popular in schools all over Cangyuan. Some students even won prizes in a national competition last year. “I will work harder and hope these children in mountain areas will have a better future by learning information technology,” Chen said. 19. What does the underlined word “opposed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. disagreed with B. wrote down C. worked out D. fixed up 20. What did Chen teach her students in the coding class? A. How to play video games on the computer. B. How to prepare for difficult coding languages. C. How to create interesting animations and games. D. How to use the Internet to search for information. 21. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The students were not interested in coding at first. B. Chen’s students won the first place at a competition in 2021. C. Most parents think coding is too difficult to learn. D. Chen plans to put more time and energy into teaching coding. 22. What is the best title for the passage? A. Coding Helps Students Think Better B. Teacher Brings Coding to Rural Children C. Coding Gets Popular in China’s Schools D. Teacher Connects Coding with Chinese Language C It was a dark and stormy night. It was New Year’s Eve. We were having our party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate. Suddenly, we heard loud explosions (爆炸声). Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks (火花) flying from electrical transformers (变压器). Then our house went dark. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity? The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We boys and men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The girls and women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the begınning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that! Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night.

For Chinese, bottles, even plastic bags are perfect for growing vegetables. ②It’s said that there is a “vegetable gene (基因)” in every Chinese people. After all, they have farmed for thousands of years and gained rich experience in growing vegetables. ③A group of parents of Chinese students once grew vegetables at Yale University in the USA.
