Ⅰ.阅读理解

Susan Murabana's travelling telescope began with a simple revelation(被暴露的真相): We all have access to the sky. We all see the same moon. At the same time, she knew that access wasn't created equal. Telescopes had been around for 400 years, but most children in Kenya had never looked through one. She thought she could change that.
In 2014, she and her partner Daniel Chu Owen bought a telescope and started showing kids in Kenya what the stars looked like up close. Today, The Travelling Telescope program has reached about 200,000 kids. And during the COVID19 pandemic, it works to teach kids about space and rockets online, offering workshops on 3D modeling and astronomy to local schoolchildren.“It's never been about these kids becoming astronomers-but it's about all the different things astronomy can teach,” Ms. Murabana says. “There's engineering and geology and math, and there's also just an opportunity to question, to inquire and to be creative.”
Growing up in Nairobi, Ms. Murabana never saw astronomy as a possible career path or even a potential hobby. “I always loved math and science, but I wasn't exposed to astronomy,”she says. She studied economics in college, and then worked in marketing. But when she volunteered for science outreach programs, she saw the way astronomy seemed to make kids' eyes from all walks of life light up. Soon, she began teaching kids about space through programs like Global HandsOn Universe, and completed a degree in an online master's program in astronomy herself.
At Hillcrest International Schools in Nairobi, preparatory head teacher Surbhi Vashisht says the telescope has been_a_big_hit with her students, 170 of whom have participated in the Travelling Telescope workshops: looking at the stars, building rockets, and virtually exploring the landscape of Mars. “The children enjoy the energy that Sue and Chu bring to the sessions,” she writes in an email.

Every culture has a recognized(公认的) point when a child becomes an adult,when rules must be followed and tests passed.
In China,although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16,many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18.In the US,where everyone drives,the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive.At 16,American teens take their driving test.When they have their license(驾照),they drive into the grownup world.
“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham,17.“It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car,” she said.
According to a recent research,41% of 16 to 19yearold in the US own cars,up from 23% in 1985.Although,most of these cars are bought by parents,some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children.In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking,some teenagers don't want them.But in rich areas outside the city,if there are no undergrounds,and bicycles are more for fun than cars,it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16yearold have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19yearold.This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive.They need to wait until they are more experienced.
Julie Susiana,of Virginia,decides that her son Chad,15,will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit(许可).
Chad said he had accepted his parents' decision,although it had caused some laughing from his friends.“They say that I am unlucky,” he said.“But I'd rather be alive than drive,and I don't really trust my friends on the road either.”
In China as more families get cars,more 18yearold learn to drive.Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。目前机器人教师在韩国很受一些小学生的欢迎,文章分析了机器人教师的优势以及未来的发展前景。
1.more patient [考查形容词的比较级。根据Compared with human teachers可知,这里是把人类教师和机器人教师进行比较,要使用比较级形式。故填more patient。]
2.why [考查表语从句。空格处引导表语从句,解释孩子们与机器人教师相处得好的原因。故填why。]
3.were sent [考查时态和语态。根据时间状语last December可知,本句是叙述过去发生的事情,要使用一般过去时,且主语robots与提示词send之间为被动关系,所以使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were sent。]
4.Equipped [考查过去分词。分析句子结构可知,逗号前的内容为状语。句子主语the robots与提示词equip之间为被动关系,所以要用过去分词形式。故填Equipped。]
5.confidence [考查名词。此处应该使用名词作动词短语build up的宾语。故填名词confidence。]
6.which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词other robot teachers,从句中缺少主语,所以要使用指代物的关系代词which。]
7.in/at [考查介词。表示“在学校里”常用介词短语in/at the school。故填in或at。]
8.a [考查冠词。education“教育”常作不可数名词。但此处指通过使用机器人教师,这些偏远农村学校的孩子可以接受良好的教育,指具体的某种教育,应该视作可数名词。故填不定冠词a。]
9.To give [考查动词不定式作状语。根据语境可知,此处指“为了给农村学校的孩子更多学习的机会”,应用不定式作目的状语。故填To give。]
