B I want to send you all a quick email and express my feelings about school this rainy Monday morning. I cannot say enough about the experiences that my three kids are having at Goshen Post!It has been such an amazing start to the school year.They all come home filled with enthusiasm and excitement about what they have been doing at school and the PBLs that involve them. I'd like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend-how my boys are applying what they are learning at school through a project at home.On a very rainy Sunday,they were looking for things to do.Anderson wanted to go outside and jump in the muddy puddles ()Wesley was excited about the idea too,so they headed outside to play.When they came back,Wesley explained to me that they noticed the rain was flowing and filling all of the storm drains (in the front paths of our street.This is where the PBL comes in! They turned this little observation into a project,and came up with a plan to figure out where the water was coming from,why it was flowing the way that it was,and where it ended.They asked us to drive them down the street to see where it started and where it ended so that they could record this information.They then came up with their own theories,headed home and wrote about it in Wesley's new notebook.All of this took hours,filled their afternoon,and created huge smiles on their faces and laughter between the two brothers! They have always been creative,but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative,but giving them a framework on how to do it!Thank you! 24.What can we know about "PBL"from the passage? A.It is a plan of learning at home. B.It is a practice organized by schools.

Q We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore.The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages.Except,most of the time,it doesn't.Our willingness to explore new,unfamiliar music declines with age. Academics have coined the term"open-earedness"to describe this phenomenon.Until around the age of 11,children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music.Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness,but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood,and then declines as we age. A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors.It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines,and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20%of our waking time during adolescence,to 13%in adulthond. Researchers have different theories to account for these trends.One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal(自由支配)to explore their musical interests than younger people. Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles.Adults have developed personalities and established social groups.As.such,drivers to engage with new music are lessened. Some researchers argue that we shouldn't use a person's age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same,without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to.Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music. 28.What does the term"open-earedness"refer to in the passage? A.The ability to play music. B.The willingness to explore new music. C.The interest in music during adolescence.D.The significance of music in daily life 29.According to the study,how does the amount of music listened to change as we age? A.It remains consistent throughout life. B.It increases from childhood to adulthood. C.It peaks during adolescence and then decreases.D.It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood. 30.What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age? A.An increase in hearing sharpness. B.Less spare time due to responsibilities. C.An intense decrease in interest in music.D.Changes in personality and social groups. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Music Consumption:A Lifelong Journey.B.Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults. C.Adolescents and Music:Identity and Exploration. D.Decline of Open-Earedness:Age Affects Music Exploration. 餐巴扫描全能王 然额配人群直用的日插 -2。-。。22--。- D Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole.Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea.And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales,such as sperm whales,have one hole,baleen (whales,such as humpback and Rice's whales,have two. Even among the baleen whales,the placing of those nostrils differs.In some species,they are close together.In others,they are much further apart.In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan,a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science,suggests why that might be.Having two nostrils,.he argues,helps whales smell in stereo(立体空间). Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton(浮游动物)，which they catch by filtering (them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths.But to eat something you first have to find it.Toothed whales do not hunt by scent.In fact,the olfactory bulb-the part of the brain that processes smell-is absent in such creatures.But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs,which suggests smell remains important.And scent can indeed give zooplankton away.Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton ()When these are under attack,they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide,which in turn attracts baleen whales. Most animals have stereoscopic senses.Having two eyes,for instance,allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth.Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming.Dr.Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits. The farther apart the sensory organs are,the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them.The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species.Sure enough,baleen whales that often eat zooplankton,such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than those,such as humpback whales,that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe,it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. 32.What do we know about whales'nostrils according to the first two paragraphs? A.They are developed merely for smell.B.They are adapted ones. C.They are not easy to detect. D.They are not fixed universally in numbers. 33.What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton? A.The smell that phytoplankton send.B.The teeth that baleen whales have. C.The sound waves that zooplankton create.D.The chemical signals that zooplankton give off. 34.How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4? A.By quoting a theory. B.By making a contrast. C.By using examples. D.By making inferences. 35.What is the position of nosirils related to according to the last paragraph? A.The ability to give off smells. B.The possibility to attract food. C.The ability to communicate. D.The ability to locate food. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. 36 This ineans you can store all your digital things remotely,without taking up space on your 餐巴扫描全能王 然病3亿人群直用的日播 -2.24-。。22-。一 computer.There are two options available:public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users;privatc cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in at their own environment. ne 37 Once you have registered and set up your account,you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password.This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to se anyone else.Should you choose,you can put certain permissions in place,which makes it easy to share a your data with your colleagues or your family. 0 When you sign up to cloud storage,you can choose the amount of space you need.38 You can store anything digital:all your files,videos and pictures.Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation,you will ir find it quite convenient. ne Is it better than your computer or an external drive?The answer is a definite yes.Computers crash all n the time.39 External hard drives can still break,or fail.Here you also have the added risk of e misplacing it or having it stolen.There are so many advantages to cloud computing,from the ability to access your data from wherever,whenever,to not needing expensive external storage devices n 40 A.You will find cloud storage very cheap. ● B.Cloud storage is very simple to use.

With still two kilometers to go,time ran against me picking up my four-year-old daughter from her childcare center.What waited for me was knee-high water.I had no choice but to struggle through in the pouring rain to buy a cheap plastic coat in the shopping mall for my daughter. After taking off my jacket and putting it into my bag to keep dry,I pulled up my skirt and took off my shoes,starting to run.Although I was wet through when arriving at the daycare center,I felt lucky to be only a few minutes late.Now I had to fix another problem. All means of getting home appeared impossible to me.There were no buses with the clock striking 6 p.m.I had no money to pay for a taxi.As the sky tumned darker and darker,it seemed that we could never manage to get home. The only thing we could do was to stand outside the childcare center staring at the rain pouring down. There was no sign of stopping.Lost in my own thoughts,I just hardly noticed another parent pull up and race inside to collect his child ten minutes later.I did not recognize him and my thoughts turned back to my current situation. 注意： 1.缤写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式作答。 The rain was getting bigger and bigger, Just when I was confused,I didn't know when a man was standing beside me. 餐巴扫描全能王 额3配人■直用的日压e -2.24。。22-。一
