The goal of the new report was to improve how technology is used in education.It says that technology can be helpful,but it shouldn't be the focus."Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost,"the report says. These days,.it's common for students to use computers or tablets(平板电脑.In many places,it's nommal for students to look up infommation on the intemet rather than using books. UNESCO claims that technology changes so fast that it's hard to study how it really affects students. The new report says that many of the studies show that technology helps students come from rich countries.As classes moved online during the Covid-19 pandemic,the use of technology in education grew even more quickly.Many students were forced to study at home, using video calls to communicate with their teachers.But the report points out that around 500 million students were unable to take part in online classes.That's one example of what UNESCO says is alarger problem-that the advantages of technology aren't evenly shared. People and countries with less money are often left out. UNESCO admits that technology can help in many ways.It can allow students to leam in ways that are more interesting;it can also help teachers explain difficult ideas;it can also help students who have special needs.But UNESCO says technology can also be very perturbing. One study showed that when students use phones in dass,it can interfere with their leaming. Even so,less than 25%of the world's countries ban phones in schools. The report suggests that the best way to leam is still to work closely with teachers. Working with other dassmates also helps students leam.UNESCO says that most schools should spend more money on things like books,dassrooms,and teachers. 28.Why does the report suggest using technology less in schools? A.It changes toofast for students to adapt. B.Most countries cannot afford to invest in it. C.It makes no difference to improving education. D.It may not be as effective as initially thought. 29.What is the 'larger problem"that UNESCO refers to in paragraph 4? A.The pandemic has affected most oountries. B.High-tech devices are unevenly distributed. C.Fewer students keep discipline in online dasses. D.Teachers'training in technology use is not enough. 30.Which word can best replace the underlined word"perturbing"in paragraph 5? A.Distracting.B.Confusing. C.Interesting. D.Frightening. 31,What does UNESCO suggest schools do? A.Explore innovative teaching methods. B.Increase the expense on teaching staff. C.Stress the importance of quality education. D.Update technology and digital resources in time. D The sea could be the food bowl of the future.In Jervis Bay,south of Sydney,seaweed, which is rich in fibre and omega 3,is grown and harvested. Pia Winberg is a marine scientist who runs Australia's first food-grade fammed seaweed company.Her crop is grown alongside mussels()and is used as an additive in pasta and other products. Seaweed is also raised in large tanks,where it absorbs carbon dioxide waste from a wheat processing factory.The business is small,but could help to reduce the ecological footprint of traditional farming. "We used ten percent of seaweed instead of wheat in bread and pasta,we've saved a million hectares of land,we've eliminated all of the carbon dioxide emissions associated with that,and weve also reduced the pressure on very precious fresh water,"said Pia Winberg. Spiny sea urchins (are another blue economy resource.They can destroy marine habitats,but a recent competition for environmental start-ups in Australia,saw them not as a pest but a delicacy(佳肴). Martina Doblin,CEO of Sydney Institute of Marine Science,said,"By 2050 we will have some ten billion people on the planet,and about half the food they eat will come from the ocean.So,we really do need to pay attention to the way that we manage the blue economy- generating wealth from the ocean but in a sustainable way. Faming at sea has its challenges.Infrastructure(基础建设)has to be equipped,asdo supply chains and biosecurity.But get these things right,and the ocean mightjust be the next great economic frontier. 32.What is the function of the first paragraph? A.Tolead to the main topic. B.To describe anew kind of seaweed. C.To tell how important the food safety is.D.To explain the meaning ofblue economy. 33.What can we leam from what Martina Doblin said in Paragraph 6? A.Ocean exploration has made little progress sofar. B.More and more people will die of hunger in the future. C.More work is needed for a better use of the natural resources. D.Sea farming will be a good way to solve the coming world food problem. 34.Which word can be used to describe the author's attitude towards sea famming? A.Skeptical.B.Objective.C.Tolerant. D.Negative. 35.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.How to Protect the Marine Animals B.Measures to Develop Blue Economy C.Farming the Sea for the Future of Food D.Traditional Farming is Gradually Disappearing 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Snakes are the last thing you wantto find in your yard or garden,much less in your house.
