On facial detection system can judge a person’s “happiness” or “fear” level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they look at products or advertisement in the store.

Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people’s ages and five levels of feelings — from “very happy” to “very unhappy”. Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers’ experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices. Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy (隐私) group, is one of them. She thinks ▲ . For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person’s age and feelings.

He started it up at the age of 19, working alone in a rented bay of his friend’s garage. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 employees, but Allamby had been unable to relax. He had always been thirsty for something more. At first, he thought he must do something to grow his business. At the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. However, after taking classes part-time over the next 5 years, Allamby was told he had to take biology (生物学) to get his degree. “What do I need to take biology for,” thought Allamby. It turned out that it was the best thing to have happened. The biology class reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself. “After the first day, I remember this feeling of wanting to be a doctor when I was young.” Born in East Cleveland, Allamby and his five brothers and sisters were raised by their stay-at- home mother and a father who sold home goods from door to door. “As you can imagine, that didn’t pay so well,”Allamby says. Growing up a poor African American neighborhood, he didn’t dare (敢 于) to chase (追逐) his dream. But a different Allamby walked into that biology class at the age of 39. With the support of his wife and children, he soon decided to study medicine. He sold off his two shops and worked on his studies. At last, Allamby finished all his medicine courses. At the age of 47, he took a job at Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital. He, finally, realized his childhood dream.

However, when we try something new, there’s always the risk. The risk lies in the possibility that we might not be satisfied with our choices. For example, consider the case of food. We might decide to try a cuisine we’ve never had before. But in the end, we could dislike it. It could be overly sour, salty, or spicy, not to our taste at all. Similarly, when it comes to music, we might listen to a new style, ending with a headache instead of joy. We may try a new sport like skating, but which leads to falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed. We may try to speak or write a different language and gradually give up on it. It sounds risky to us. But it is not so bad to take risks. For example, we can try a new food. And we fall in love with it in the end. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but we get back up and finally experience pleasure, even for a minute. We may eventually understand why people love that sport so much. If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. We can see a new kind of art and may be surprised at its beauty. We can try to write or speak a different language, and we may be a little shy and afraid of making mistakes at first, but we know that the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying. All in all, we should always stick to trying new things. By doing so, we open ourselves up to a world of surprises and new experiences. Summary The passage tells us 1._________________________________________. Although 2.____________________________________, like not liking new food or fall at new sports, it can also bring us pleasure, such as loving new food or enjoying new music. The writer lists different examples of try new things, including new food, music, sports, art and language, to show 3._______________________________________. In conclusion, the writer 4.__________________________________________ so that we can have more surprises and experiences. 1. _________________________________ 2._______________________________________ 3. _________________________________ 4. _______________________________________ 5 阅读综合练习二 A 语法选择 The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.

Laughter can improve sleep, thinking ability and learning environment. However, you just don’t have many chances to laugh. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for laughter to appear in your life. Here are a few suggestions to get you started. First, think of funny things at some moments during the day. Don’t think about your problems. Instead, think of a funny experience, a funny joke, or something funny that you saw in a movie. Think about it again in your mind as you do housework, wait in line or other activities that leave your mind free, so that you can have more chances to laugh. Also, when someone around you says something funny, don’t just smile—laugh out loud. Everyone around you will laugh more and that will get you to laugh more, too. If you are watching a funny show on TV and it makes you laugh, give a loud laughter! It’s just you and the TV. Besides, instead of complaining about life’s difficulties, make up a funny story about them, and tell it to your friends. In this way, you’ll laugh twice, for the first time when you find “the funny” in what has happened to you, and again when you tell it to your friends. Your bad experience has a silver lining—it is putting a lot more laughter into the world. Last but not least, laughter can not only improve your health, but it can also help you get on well with the people around you. You can use it to make everyone around you feel more cheerful and hopeful. People can benefit a lot from laughter, including 1_______. Although opportunities to laugh are often limited, 2_________. First, find moments to recall funny experiences. Second, laugh out loud at humor. Third, 3__________ to create shared joy. Finally, we can learn that 4__________, spreading joy and hope. 1. _________________________________ 2. ________________________________________ 3. _________________________________ 4. ________________________________________ 10 阅读综合练习三 A 语法选择 Huizhou is a city in Guangdong Province, China.

But my graduation day was not. 11 I remember that weekend two years ago. My family and friends had traveled from across the country to 1 our class walk across that stage. We had degrees( 学位),but very few job opportunities(机会)because of the 2 economy(经济). I knew my small university town couldn't 3 me any opportunities, so I drove to southern California to find work. But four weeks later, I found 4 in the same situation I was in before. You know that feeling when you wake up and you are full of fear? Fear about something you can't control. You hope that everything that has happened to you is just a bad 5 . So what did I do to stay 6 ? I wrote. Putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Writing gave me hope. If you want something enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need! I turned my scary feelings into a children’s book-about a surprising hero who simply refused to 7 his dream. Then one day, 8 any writing experience or contacts in the writing world—after a lot of hard work—I was given a publishing deal(出版协议) for my first book! After that, things 9 started to get better.

Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera.After being performed in 12 San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing Changsha and Wuhan. It is welcomed by audiences(观众) at home and abroad. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds(背景)in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign- language opera. The opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin instead of the rise and fall of the Jia family and tried to write a heart-broken tragedy(悲剧)that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes (服装) and stage settings(布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage. It isn't the first time that they have made an opera adapted(改编)from Chinese literature. The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to western audiences, spreading Chinese culture to the world. They are happy to have made a contribution to the land where their parents were born. 1. The opera was___________. A. sung in Chinese B. first performed in San Francisco C. written by Timmy Yip D. performed in many languages 2. The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph has the same meaning as that in Sentence________. A. The land was dry and hard after the long and hot summer B.

According to the passage we can infer(推断)that___________. A. it ’s easy for the creators to make the opera B. there may be more operas adapted from western literature C. the creators feel proud to introduce Chinese culture to westerners D. the creators made an opera adapted from Chinese literature for the second time 4. The best title of the passage is_________. 13 A. the Rise and Fall of the Jia Family B. the Opera of A Dream of Red Mansions C. Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera D. the Love Story Between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu D 任务型阅读 Mask(口罩)pollution has become a serious problem during the last few years. We should take action from now on to control it. As we can see, disposable(一次性) face masks have become a new kind of rubbish. In fact, they may have a new use. Scientists did a lot of research and found that there is a material in masks that can be added to the making of concrete(混凝土) to make it stronger and hard to break. A university has also found that this material can also improve the quality(质量) of roads. In recent years masks have become an important thing in people's life More than 90% of masks are made of plastic and it will take more than 400 years to fully degrade(降解)them. Our government is paying much attention to the problem of mask pollution. So far our government has made a lot of efforts to solve the problems, which have made good results. The following text is a letter from a middle school student. Dear Mayor(市长) My name is Chen Hui. Recently, I have noticed a serious environmental problem in our city. One day, I found a bird with a blue mask wrapped(被缠绕的)under its mouth and wings. And I believe many other animals were influenced by masks. We can find masks in many places. Some are caught by wind washed down in the drains (下 水道) and then ended up in the ocean. The bright colors of masks can be easily mistaken as food by birds. If they are thrown into the river or sea, the fish and other sea animals may be at risk of being injured because of them. In order to control it and protect the environment we need the government to call on people to take action from now on. For example,_____________________________________________.

Born in a village in 1986, Hao Shuai was raised with a natural love for food - his father was a cook, and his mother ran a small restaurant for more than 30 years. Hao said he usually felt stressed out in the city, where people seem to be moving fast and have lost the connection with each other. “I believe a dinner table would make a difference.” In 2020, Hao's failure at business made him lose more than 1 million yuan. “Whenever I’m unhappy, I would rather stay in the kitchen and cook food.” said Hao. Then one day he came up with the idea of inviting strangers to cook dinner at home and sharing life experience. To make it fun and interactive(互动), he requires the participants(参与者) to bring a dish, cook or wash dishes. Hao will cook three to five dishes, mostly Sichuan cuisines. Hao said, adding that any sincere stranger willing to take part in can sign up(报名) for dinner through the official WeChat account “Hao Shuai’s Kitchen” . He said the food cost for each meal is less than 200 yuan, and the real cost is time. “But if you consider cooking a relaxation and enjoyment, it is not a problem at all,” he said. “My kitchen has seen many people crying.” Hao said, adding that he realizes that he was not the most unlucky one. “Nothing feels better than sharing stories and eating up delicious food.” said Hao. “And if possible, we get like-minded friends.” Hao hopes to link participants from all walks of life in a community, to offer help and warmth, and he is considering to host a story-sharing event. “Those touching, inspiring life stories could heal a lot of people.” he said. 1.

Gasoline is from oil. The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物) Gasoline provides great power for cars. However, it causes environmental problems, like air pollution and temperature rise. So gasoline can’t be the best fuel. Another choice is electricity. Electricity cars can be as efficient(效能好的) as cars using gasoline, and they produce less pollution. But electric cars themselves are more expensive. Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010. The other choices are other liquid fuels. Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline, and used in the same cars. They can also be friendly to the environment. One way to make such fuels is to get CO2 from the air and put it in water. Through chemical reaction, hydrocarbons can be created. However, these fuels take up more space. Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air. These fuels 22 are greener in use. But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline. For a fuel to be the best, people have to be able to afford it. Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that ofusing gasoline. Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs. In the end, the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet. 1. Gasoline provides cars with __________. A. great power B. fresh air C. clean water D. enough space 2. According to Paragraph3, we can infer that electric cars __________. A. produce less pollution B. will become more and more expensive C. will become more popular D. are more efficient than those using gasoline 3. The structure of the passage may be __________ . 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. How Do We Protect Our Planet? B. What Are the Fuels ’Differences? C. What Is the Best Fuel for Cars? D. How Do We Make Fuels for Cars?

Every day, many customers line up to buy her handmade buns, called huabobo. The 25-year-old from Yantai, Shandong Province has turned this traditional food into something special. Huabobo is a kind of flower-shaped steamed bun with a history of over 300 years. Zang makes it even more popular by adding modern designs, like cute rabbits, lucky bags, and beautiful bowls.

However, the manner of gift-giving isn’t the same in all places all over the world. So if you’re buying gifts for someone from other countries, it might be useful to know what to do - or what not to do. In fact, 2 a gift might not always be suitable(合 适的) in every situation. In many parts of the Middle East, giving gifts is 3 important part of business and personal life, but it’s not a good idea for a man to buy a gift for a woman 4 doesn’t know well, or for a woman to buy one for a man. And in Yemen and Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), 5 are only given between people who are already quite close. You also need to think about how to wrap(包装) the gift. In Egypt, gifts are wrapped twice with two different types of paper, while in other countries some colors of wrapping shouldn’t be 6 at all. For example, don’t use white in China, or black or purple in South America, because these colors are related to death. 7 you give or receive the gift is also different. In Ghana(加纳), gifts should be given 8 25 the right band, and the same is true in India. In some Asian countries including China and Japan, the person receiving the gift might refuse it two or three times before finally 9 it.

It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which has a history of over one thousand years. It is widely spread around the areas of the Yellow River, especially in Henan and Shanxi. Before the performance, a shelf is built in an open space, tied with fireworks and firecrackers(烟花爆竹). A big pot is set up to melt(融化) the iron. The casting performer wears a hat to protect his head but nothing on the upper body. He holds a stick with melted iron in one hand and another stick without it in the other. He quickly runs under the shelf and hits the two sticks, forming an iron flower over ten meters high, which in turn lights fireworks and firecrackers. The 27 whole show is fascinating as well as exciting. The iron-flower show is held on New Year’s Eve, showing people’s good wishes and expectations for the New Year. The iron-flower is a symbol of development. The sound of “hua” and “fa” means “the more you play, the more you get” . The flower shelf in the middle means out of chaos(Yuan) it is divided into two (Yin and Yang), then two into four, four into eight, till countless numbers are achieved. ▲ ? One senior casting performer explained: to face the high heat with their flesh and blood(血肉之躯) and to cheer up all with their strong will. The casting performers would rather get hurt themselves than wear their clothes with burning holes that their mothers had stitched(缝) together in the hard old time. Besides, facing the 1,600℃ iron is fine qualities of the Chinese people—courage, and spirit that support them to stand the pain. The casting performers are just common people, but when casting iron flowers, they seem like fighters fighting without fear and artists showing talents freely. Their spirit is shown to us and influences us in this special way. 1. Which of the following can be put in the ▲ A.

The past and the present Over 2,000 years ago, the special wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great need by the central government more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, local people in Guizhou had to stand on the wood to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, local people changed wood into bamboo to drift because of bamboo’s lower price. Now, bamboo drifting is still a popular sport in Guizhou and the competition takes place every four years. An interview with Yang Liu, an inheritor(继承者) of bamboo drifting Q: What was it like when you started learning bamboo drifting? Yang: I couldn’t remember how many times I lost my balance on the bamboo and fell in the river. But once I fell, climbed up and gave it another try. I think that helps me become a success in many people’s eyes. Q: Now you are also successful on social media, what do you think of it? Yang: That is all by chance. As the popularity of hanfu culture has risen in recent years, I started wearing hanfu while performing bamboo drifting. To my surprise, people liked the idea so much that they even call me “dancing fairy on water” on the Internet. Q: As an inheritor of bamboo drifting, what do you want to do with it? Yang: Bamboo drifting teaches me that the impossible can be made possible. I will try my best to keep it alive and known to more people. 1.Was nanmu transported to the north by land? 2.Who changed wood into bamboo to drift in the Qing Dynasty? 3.What makes Yang Liu successful? 4.Do you want to be an inheritor of bamboo drifting?

We can find different kinds of information from many sources in big data, such as information from the Internet, schools, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer. Big data can be helpful in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. The information is then used to improve bus or train services. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teachers can then give these students more help or support so they can achieve success in school. Companies use big data, 29 too. It helps them understand their buyers better. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) ifa baby will get sick when he or she is born too early. Then they can take extra steps to protect that baby from illness. However, big data can also bring trouble. For example, it can be used to predict which kinds of people may break the law or hurt others, although they have not done anything wrong. How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because people write computer programs to understand big data. People usually think in their own way and then build a thinking model (模式). The thinking model is used to look at and understand the data. Sometimes, the model is helpful to people or businesses. Other times, it can bring trouble to some groups of people. Big data refers to 1_______________________ used by computer programs.

All of us 1 about him as he seemed upset every day. Before he came here, he grew up in a foster care(寄养) family. He spent the rest of his childhood bringing trouble to the family. Gradually, he started tobe lost in computer games, got kicked out of the family and ended up 2 . When I first saw him, I could see that he had 3 going for him in life. I decided to talk to him in person 4 I could feel he wasn’t able to see the point of living anymore. Someone with his history is at a high 5 of hurting himself or running away. We talked peacefully and I asked him patiently if he had thought about hurting himself. “I think about it every day.” he said. I asked him if he had already made plans. He 6 his head. “I couldn’t do it to Becky. She’d be heart-broken. She’s the only reason I keep going on now.” I was shocked. Becky was not a family member or a friend. She was 7 a person who stopped, on he way home from work every day, and spoke to him. She only stopped for 10 minutes or so while she was waiting for her train, but she would sometimes provide a coffee or sandwich 8 him and sit with him in the waiting hall. “It’s funny,” he said. She’s got a good job, but she always sits on the floor next to me.” She never 9 to be there. For the past two years, Becky turned up at the train station and talked with him every day. It was a small act for her. Yet for him, it meant a lot. I doubt even now whether she knows the meaning of what she has done.

Many were far from true, but looking back helps us understand their influence on technology and innovation (创新). The idea of firefighters with wings, dressed up like bats to work, although not achieved, shows our ongoing love for flight and its possible uses. Drones (无人机) and flying machines are now important in industries like firefighting. Without winged firefighters, using flight for real-life purposes has become a reality, showing our ability to create new things. Another prediction was using trained sea animals for transportation, with people riding huge, saddle-equipped whales or seahorses through the waves. While we haven’t used these amazing creatures for travel, our connection with sea life has grown. We focus on caring for and protecting these animals, which leads to progress in marine (海洋的) biology. Our playful imagination with sea life has inspired underwater exploration and travel innovations, showing our interest in the natural world. The idea of a fully automated (全自动的) education system was also suggested, where students would wear strange headgear (装置) that sent information directly into their brains, making them wise at once. We haven’t reached a world where information can be sent into our brains through technology, but we learned to use high-tech toots to improve education. The internet has changed education by providing lots of information for everyone, and online learning applications increase our chances for receiving knowledge, showing how technology can improve our lives. However, some predictions have come true. One of them was mobile homes. Imagined as moving houses on wheels, complete with gardens and rooms, these fun homes have become the modern RVs (房车) we know today. With people choosing to live and travel in RVs, enjoying a mobile lifestyle, this prediction has led to creative mobile living solutions, from tiny homes to fancy RVs, showing our dreams for convenience and freedom. Looking back on these funny ideas about the future helps us value our achievements and greatly drive our present innovations. As we keep pushing the limits of what’s possible, let’s be inspired by 32 the dreams of those before us and work towards a future that benefits everyone. 1. Which of the following is the prediction that has come true? 2. The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is to encourage us to . A. improve the predictions from the past B. show the power of human imagination C. only focus on progress in technology D. work on a future that benefits everyone 3. According to the passage, we can infer that . A. people in the past made predictions about most fields ofour life B. humans have successfully trained sea animals for transportation C. both true and untrue predictions have influenced our life today D. online learning applications can make students wise at once 4.Which of the following shows the right structure (结构) of the passage? ① Winged firefighters and flight achievements ② Freedom and the rise of mobile homes ③ Role of technology in improving education ④ Value past ideas to benefit the future ⑤ Trained sea animals and marine biology D 任务型阅读 The topic “Zibo barbecue (烧烤)” on Douyin has been played 4.96 billion times since the city of Zibo in Shandong stormed the Internet for a few months. In March, there were 4.8 million visitors in the small city which has a population of 4.7 million. The train tickets from Beijing to Zibo for May 1st, the first day of the five-day Labor Day holiday, were sold out in a minute. Zibo is certainly not the only city in China that offers barbecue, or at least not the most famous one, but why does it become a must-go place suddenly? Zhou Maosong, president of the 33 Zibo Tourism Promotion Association, drew the timeline of the city's barbecue popularity. Zhou said that it started with a music festival. The barbecue suddenly became popular after a group of college students shot videos of themselves enjoying barbecue and posted them on social media in late February. Since then, many people have tried barbecue here from all over the country. Many college students in Shandong have made plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue because in Zibo most skewers (烤串) of meat or vegetables are less than 2 yuan each. So there’s no better way to attract hungry and poor college students more than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within 50 yuan!” The city government quickly smelled the business chance, Zhou added. It has provided a barbecue- themed tour for tourists. Free barbecue maps and 21 shuttle buses are also being offered so that tourists can “get on the bus to rest, get off to eat”. Moreover, a barbecue festival was listed on the plan during the Labor Day holiday. It appears that all these efforts have paid off. Zibo has offered a successful story for other cities in China. 1. Is Zibo the only city in China that offers barbecue? 2. How many visitors were there in Zibo in March? 3. What makes Zibo barbecue famous? 4. Do you want your hometown to be a must-go place? Why or why not? E 概要补全 Pandas are unquestionably one of the most lovely animals on the earth. They have round face, a body in black and white, black eye patches and a pair of black ears. Their chubby and fluffy body makes them extremely cute. Pandas’ senses of smell and hearing are strong while their eyesight is poor. They have a myopia of about 800 degrees. However, in bamboo forests, they don’t need a strong visual ability. The loveliness of pandas is a result of the Earth’s evolution (进化) of billions of yeas. It carries the code of biological evolution and shows the progress of panda protection and ecological studies. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government has never stopped its protection of pandas. It has set up four giant panda nature reserves in the southwest province of Sichuan. Besides, biological studies of pandas gradually developed in China. The country has been one of the leaders in the world in terms of panda research since the 1990s thanks to the joint efforts of Chinese scientists. In October 2021, China announced (宣布) to build the first group of national parks, including one for giant pandas. The giant panda national park covers an area of about 22 thousand square kilometers and 60% percent of panda habitats, where more than 70 percent of wild giant pandas live. The building of the giant panda national park symbolized a new stage of China’s panda protection. 34 In 2016, the International Union for Conservation (保护) of Nature took the giant pandas off its endangered list and downgraded the conservation status of giant pandas to “vulnerable”. It showed the great achievements made by China in the protection of giant pandas and the country’s sense of responsibility as a major country in natural conservation. 1 Around face A black and white body Black eye patches Black ears Panda’s sensory abilities 2 Poor eyesight 3 Four giant panda nature reserves Biological studies of pandas 4 The removal of pandas from the IUCN’s endangered list and the downgrade of the conservation status 1. ____________________________ 2. _____________________________ 3. ____________________________ 4. _____________________________ 35 阅读综合练习八 A 语法选择 Spanish musicians Abigail Horro and RuRuben Garcia Benito talked about their musical trip with People’s Daily Online.

It costs £1 million a year to lease Yang Guang and Tian Tian from Beijing. But the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs the zoo, had to close for three months in the summer, leading to a £2 million loss for the year. The society’s chief executive, David Field, said the charity would have to seriously consider every possible saving including its giant panda contract. Mr. Field said, “We have done all we can to protect our charity by taking a government loan, letting staff have a holiday where possible, reducing jobs where necessary and starting a fundraising activity. The support that we have received from our members and animal lovers has helped to keep our doors open and we are very grateful.” The zoo couldn’t apply for the Government’s zoo fund, which was aimed at smaller zoos. Mr. Field added, “We have to seriously consider every possible saving and this includes assessing our giant panda contract and the cost of their daily care. At this stage, it is too soon to say what the answer will be. We will be discussing next steps with our colleagues in China over the coming months.” 1. _________ troubles Edinburgh Zoo now. A.

Here is the question: Which is better, group studying or studying alone? Studying alone allows you to set the perfect study environment so you get the most out of studying. It also allows you to use the most effective (有效的) learning methods. Some students learn best with flashcards while others learn best when they reread texts. Find your learning methods, and make your studying be the best results. When you study alone, you’re able to pay attention to exactly what you need to learn. It’s easy to look over the things with which you’re already comfortable and familiar. When you set a date and time to get together with a study group, it stops you from procrastinating (拖延) because you know other people are counting on you to be there. When you study in a group, you can remember more information. This is because you take your notes and put the information into your own words rather than reading from a textbook. Moreover, it’s very similar to teaching the others in your group, which leads to remembering the information better. Being with other people allows you to get different ideas about the things. Sometimes someone can say just one sentence or word and it will all make sense. 1. Do people learn differently? 2. How do you avoid procrastinating? 3. What are the advantages of group studying from the passage? (in one sentence) 4. Which one would you choose, group studying or studying alone? Share your similar experience and feelings in 25-30 words. E 概要补全 The sun goes down on a field in southern England. When it rises again the following morning, that field has been changed into a huge work of art. A large part of the crop (庄稼) has been pressed into a pattern of circles (圆), squares, and other shapes. Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle appeared in the 1500s. However, it didn’t get attention until 1980s, when a farmer in England discovered three circles in his field. The world first began to learn about crop circles. By the 1990s, crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. In 1990 alone, more than 500 circles appeared in Europe. Within the next few years, there were thousands. 38 Crop circles can come in many different shapes, changing in size. Most early crop circles were simple. But after 1990, the crops can be made to look like just about anything – smiling face, flowers, or even words. People have long been wondering who or what is creating these crop circles. Possibly the most widely known idea is that crop circles are the work of visitors from other planets. Probably the most scientific opinion says that crop circles are created by vortices (涡旋). They force the air down to the ground, which presses the crops down. Dr. Terence Meaden, an expert, says when the dust gets caught up in a vortex, it can appear to glow (发光), which may explain the UFO-like glowing lights many people have seen. Summary A crop circle means the crop pressed into a pattern of ___ 1 __, including circles. It was reported in the 1500s 2 . But it didn’t get attention until 1980s. Since then, 3 .
