8A Unit 2主题阅读训练
阳光中学举办了一场“全球学校博览会”,每个班级分成若干小组,代表一个国家。学生们需要设计创意展板,展示这些国家有哪些有特色的学校。让我们一起来看看他们展示的内容,思考“如何让学校变得更有趣、更有意义”。
I. 多彩课程
什么样的课程能够更好地激发学生们的学习兴趣和天赋呢?一起来看看下面这所学校给出的答案吧!(每空不限一词)
Junior high school offers diverse elective courses, allowing students to explore their interests. Here are three exciting electives from an Australian school.
The first course is “Science Exploration”. It is designed to make science fun and interesting. The course includes experiments(实验) in chemistry, physics and biology, allowing students to understand science in practice. This course not only teaches students scientific knowledge but also improves their creativity.
The second one is “The Art of Photography”. It introduces students to the world of photography. In this course, students learn how to use cameras, work with light and take beautiful pictures. The course includes field trips and practical projects. By studying photography, students become better at finding beauty in life.
Lastly, there is the “Introduction to Robotics” course. Robotics is the study of robots. In the course, students learn how to create and control their own robots. This includes working with electronic parts and computers. This course helps students understand more about technology.
These electives provide meaningful learning experiences. They not only open students' eyes but also foster their interests and talents in different fields.
Question: If you could design a new elective course for your school, what would it be? Why?

III.科技体验
未来的教室会是什么样子的?一些学校正在使用高科技设备打造未来教室,我们一起来体验一下吧!
Liao Wenting, who grew up in a small town in Gansu Province, was wearing the head-mounted display(头戴式显示器). She saw only 6-minute films in a modern classroom. The classroom is newly built in her school. Covering 137 square metres, the classroom has multimedia(多媒体的) teaching systems, VR headsets, 3D printers and other high-tech equipment.
The high-tech equipment was donated by a big company in China. This is the first classroom of its kind in Gansu. The company also offered free training services to the school's IT teachers and organised scientific and technological competitions to encourage students to continue exploring the field of technology.
Since the classroom was built, the school has opened two interesting courses: graphical programming(图形编程) and 3D printing. Ma Feiya, a student at the school, used a 3D printer to create a pencil box with her own design. “It was an amazing experience to see my model come to life,” she says. “I'm eager to explore more possibilities in this field in the classroom.”
In 2020, the company started the project named Future Classrooms with the goal of improving the learning environment for students in remote areas. By the end of August 2024, 48 such “classrooms” had been built and put into use in many cities across the country, and over 1.15 million students had benefited.
Yu Jinghui, a student from a mountainous county in Shaoguan, is one of them. After learning programming for 4 months, he designed a game for his little sister. The game also won the first prize in a provincial competition. “Programming has helped me realise a dream that I could not achieve in real life, which brings me a strong sense of achievement,” he says. “My logical thinking and hands-on abilities have also been improved during the process.”
The company says that in the future, Future Classrooms will surely reach out to more students and help them achieve their dreams.
