The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, taking down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可). The walls of the classroom will also be filled with real-time screens for students and teachers to show any information they want. In the coming years, another technology called metaverse (元宇宙) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual (虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars (数字化身). In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they’ll be doing all these in a virtual environment. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, while in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom. Students can also “visit” historical sites, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more. Besides, the classroom of the future holds several learning styles for students. They will be given the freedom to learn things in the way they want. This includes learning through video lectures. Everyone moves at their own pace (节奏), with teachers guiding them along the way. This practice will help students learn faster and have better results. 1． What might happen according to the second paragraph? A．Students won’t need to take tests.

It’s like a treasure hunt!” she says excitedly. At 27, Mikiko is a leader in “stooping” in China, a practice that means picking up thrown-away goods on the streets for reuse. She also puts eye stickers on the things she finds on the street. She got the idea from New Yorkers who often leave unwanted things outside their homes. For Mikiko, stooping is about using what is usable and making the best use of things. “It saves money and cuts down waste.

It is from November 22 to December 6. Minor Snow is the time of year when the weather starts getting colder. There is an old Chinese saying: “If the sky is full of snow during Minor Snow, next year will be a harvest year.” The right kind of weather during Minor Snow can be a good thing for farming. Low temperatures with the snow can make the soil (泥土) better in the next year. More importantly, snow that covers on the soil acts like a blanket to keep the soil warm. This will make it more fertile. Farmers can have better harvests in the coming year. During Minor Snow, the temperature often drops greatly and the air becomes dry. People start to change their eating habits. In most of north China, the temperature will drop below 0℃. People have more hot soup to keep them warm. At the same time, in some places of south China, people eat sticky rice (糯米) cakes to get their body ready for the cold days. Minor Snow is the best time to start making preserved (腌制的) foods such as preserved pork or preserved vegetables. Thanks to the cold weather, people can keep preserved food for a long time.

For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.”, “Why not get together for a party sometime?”, “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?”. These are just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t tell you a specific time or date. They don’t tell you what time or which day to go.

Now here are some different kinds of education you may want to know. Forest schools: For young kids. Forest schools first started in Europe and now we can find them all over the world. They take the forest as a natural classroom. Students stay outside all day to learn plants, animals and take exercise. Kids will never get bored in this kind of school. Montessori education (蒙氏教育): For very young kids to middle school students. Kids of different ages study in the same classroom. Rooms are open so kids can freely learn and move around. IB: A program for kids from 3 years old to the high school. There are many elective classes for students—not all of them are necessary. Students can choose the ones they like although some of them are not the most popular. They make students think about big questions like: Who am I, what do I want in life, and how does the world work? But it’s often expensive because most are in private (私立的) international schools. Microschools (微型学校): The first Microschool was started by parents in the early 2000s. There are less than 15 students of different ages in a classroom. They can take traditional subjects or practical life skills. Technical schools (技术学校): Give young people life and work experience. Students do classwork and on-the-job training (培训). They usually start working earlier than students in common schools. Online schools: Have all kinds of subjects for students to learn on the Internet. They are good for families who homeschool or unschool. Choosing an online school is a cheaper way to college than choosing a common school. 1． Where do all the kids in Forest schools probably stay? A．In Europe. B．In classrooms. C．In the forest. 2． Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．Classes are usually mixed age in a Montessori education school.

The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, taking down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可). The walls of the classroom will also be filled with real-time screens for students and teachers to show any information they want. In the coming years, another technology called metaverse (元宇宙) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual (虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars (数字化身). In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they’ll be doing all these in a virtual environment. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, while in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom. Students can also “visit” historical sites, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more. Besides, the classroom of the future holds several learning styles for students. They will be given the freedom to learn things in the way they want. This includes learning through video lectures. Everyone moves at their own pace (节奏), with teachers guiding them along the way. This practice will help students learn faster and have better results. 1． What might happen according to the second paragraph? A．Students won’t need to take tests. B．Students won’t need to do their homework. C．There will be no blackboard in the classroom. 2． What is the metaverse? A．A new kind of class. B．A robot teacher.

But is it still amazing when an avalanche happens? An avalanche is snow, ice and rocks moving together quickly down a mountain. Different things can make avalanches. For example, when snowfall (降雪) is at its greatest, it happens easily. Also, about 90 percent of avalanches have to do with humans, like climbers and skiing (滑雪). Besides, strong winds, earthquakes (地震) and even animal activities like running and fighting can also make them happen. Avalanches are most common during the winter, from December to April. But they do happen all year round. Most of them are small, with only little snow. But in high mountains, such as the Alps and the Himalayas, they can be huge (巨大的) and dangerous. Some places in France, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy see the greatest number of avalanches and deaths every year. When an Avalanche happens, the fast-moving snow, ice, and rocks can sweep away everything on the way. They bury (埋) skiers and mountain climbers alive. And the snow is so heavy that climbers often die of being breathless (窒息的). When an avalanche stops, the snow becomes too hard to move. That can make people under die of coldness. But what can we do to keep us in safe when an Avalanche happens? Education and right training (训练) on avalanches can help. Learn about dangers of Avalanches before going out. Also bring useful tools like a beacon (信标) to help others find you and a shovel to help save others. 1． How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving examples. B．By asking a question. C．By sharing an idea. 2． What may make avalanches happen? ①the height of mountains    ②great snowfall③human activities like skiing    ④ a running deer in the snow A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ 3． What can we know from paragraph 3? A．Where small avalanches happen. B．How climbers die in avalanches. C．What to do to stop avalanches. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing this passage? A．To tell us never go near high mountains with snow. B．To give ways to keep safe when meeting avalanches. C．To introduce some facts and information about avalanches. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了雪崩的相关信息。 1．细节理解题。根据“But is it still amazing when an avalanche happens?”可知作者是通过一个问题开篇的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“For example, when snowfall (降雪) is at its greatest, it happens easily. Also, about 90 percent of avalanches have to do with humans, like climbers and skiing (滑雪). Besides, strong winds, earthquakes (地震) and even animal activities like running and fighting can also make them happen.”可知当降雪量最大时，很容易发生雪崩，此外，约90%的雪崩与人类有关，如登山者和滑雪，此外，强风、地震，甚至像跑步和打架这样的动物活动也会使雪崩发生。即②③④。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“And the snow is so heavy that climbers often die of being breathless (窒息的). When an avalanche stops, the snow becomes too hard to move. That can make people under die of coldness.”可知雪崩发生时，快速移动的雪、冰和岩石会冲走路上的一切，它们活埋滑雪者和登山者，雪太厚了，登山者经常因呼吸困难而死亡，当雪崩停止时，雪变得太难移动。那会让人冻死，所以可以知道登山者如何死于雪崩。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了雪崩的相关信息。故选C。 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
