If students are interested in attending any or all of the Teen Astronomy Cafes,please have them register at htip://www.teenastronomycafe.org.Dates for the Teen Astronomy Cafes next coming academic year(学年)are: FEB MAR APR 03 05 06 06 03 2021 2021 2021 2022 2022 2022 2022 11.Students taking part in the program will A.use real scientific data B.work for the astronomers C.research the birth of the universe D.develop computer program on astronomy 12.What is the main purpose of the program? A.To offer free education. B.To train future astronomers. C.To solve the problems of astronomy. D.To encourage further study of STEM. 13.In 2022 students can attend Teen Astronomy Cafes on A.January 6h B.May 1st C.October 3rd D.November 7th B The older you get,the more difficult it is to learn a new language.But no one knows exactly what the cutoff point is-at what age it becomes harder.In one of the largest studies,researchers from Boston-based universitics found that children are good at learning a second language up until the age of 18,about 10 years later than earlier thought.But the study also showed that it is best o start by age 10 if you want to achieve the grammatical fluency of a native speaker. 高英语第3页共10页 To solve this problem,the research team collected data on a person's age,language level and time studying English.They created a short online grammar quiz called"Which English?that tested noun-verb agreement,pronouns,prepositions and relative clauses,among other linguistic elements.They wanted to find out when the"critical period"for achieving the highest levels of grammatical fluency ends. Based on people's grammar scores and information about their learning of English,the researchers developed models to find out how long it takes to become fluent in a language and the best age to start learning.They concluded that the ability to learn a new language,at least grammatically,is strongest until the age of 18.To become completely fluent,however,learning should start before the age of 10. There are three main ideas as to why language-learning ability falls at 18:social changes, interference()from one's primary language and continuing brain development.At 18,kids typically graduate from high school and start college or enter the work force full-time.Once they do,they may no longer have the time,opportunity to study a second language.Or it is possible that after one masters a first language,its rules interfere with the ability to learn a second language. Finally,changes in the brain that continue during the late teens and early 20s may somehow make learning harder. This is not to say that we cannot learn a new language if we are over 20.There are many examples of people who pick up a language later in life. Although the study was conducted only in English,the researchers believe the findings will transfer to other languages and they are developing similar tests for Spanish and Mandarin. l4.In Paragraph2,“this problem”refers to A.at what age people can do the quiz B.how people improve their language skills C.why people find it hard to master grammar rules D.in what period people can learn a new language well 15.Why does people's language-learning ability fall at 18? A.Because they have no good learning environment. B.Because they are busy developing other life skills. C.Because they needn't improve the language ability. D.Because they focus more on their primary language. 高·英语第4页共10页 16.Why does the author write the passage? A.To explain a finding. B.To provide a solution. C.To lead a discussion. D.To support an opinion. C For so long,failure()has been pictured as something negative,something to be ashamed of and something to be kept a secret.But a Swedish psychologist,Samuel West,has decided to put our worst fears on the table.He is opening a museum--the Museum of Failure--in Helsingborg. Sweden,this June. Instead of showing successes,as museums usually do,the Museum of Failure will display over 60 "failed"products from big-name companies such as Nokia,Apple and Coca-Cola."I really hope you sec that these mega-brands that everybody respects,they screw up too,"West told The New York Times."I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new." West's opinion isn't a new one.Albert Einstein once said,"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."And this idea has been embraced by lots of companies in the US.Silicon Valley,for example,is the home of some of the world's most creative companies,yet its slogan turns out to be,quite surprisingly,"Fail fast,fail often." However,there are reasons for this."The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace out-of-the-box thinking,and allow employers to make mistakes and see what happens," wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes. But some people are doubtful of this so-called"culture of failure".They are worried that if failure becomes a"symbol of honor",as Wired magazine put it,it may even be seen as"uncool" when someone tries to reduce the risk of failure.This may push people to care too little and try too little. "Sometimes people hid behind failure,when they could have prevented it,"wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph. So it's important that you set apart the two kinds of failure-the kind that makes you a loser and the kind that takes you forward.The key is whether you've learned something from your mistakes. "Learning is the only process that turns failure into success."West said The Guardian."If you don't learn from your failures,then you've really failcd." 岛-·英语第5页共10页 17.What does the underlined phrase"screw up"in the second paragraph mean? A.Make a profit. B.Make a mess. C.Make a highlight. D.Make a risk 18.What messages does the slogan“Fail fast,,fail often..”convey(传达)2 A.The more failure.the better. B.Accept failure,and try new things. C.The more you fail,the less success you achieve. D.Failure is more important than success. 19.Which magazine shows doubt about the culture of failure? A.The New York Times. B.Forbes. C.Wired. D.The Guardian. 20.What is West's opinion about failure? A.Failure's value lies in learning from it. B.If you fail,you are a loser. C.It's not necessary to try to reduce the risk of failure. D.Failure is the key to put you forward. 第：节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Everyone feels anxious or nervous at times.Feelings like these can surface when you face a challenge.21You might feel anxious when it's your turn to speak in class.These feelings can be uncomfortable,but you can manage with the help of the following tips.

I’m so excited to hear that you are coming to Beijing next month. Knowing that you are interested in Chinese history and culture, I’d like to recommend the following tourist attractions. First, the Forbidden City is a great place for you. Located in the center of Beijing, it used to be the imperial place of Ming and Qing dynasties with a history of over 600 years. You will have a chance to admire the unique architecture. Besides, I advise you to visit the Great Wall. As one of the wonders in the world, it runs across North China like a huge dragon. It’s said that he who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man. After you reach the top of the mountain, you will be amazed at the beautiful scenery/view. The two sights are considered as must-see attractions. Don’t worry, I will be your guide and take you around Beijing. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful. I’m looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
