课时冲关1 Unit 1 A new start
Ⅰ.阅读理解A
体裁:应用文
话题:介绍项目学习模式
In a growing number of schools, educators believe that having students take part by starting with practical problems is a great motivator. Projectbased learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional “maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven” structure. Examples of projects applicable to the here and now are as follows:
Soil Superheroes Project
· King Middle School,
Maine
Seventh graders learn about soil bacteria by creating multimedia information brochures. They consult professional microbiologists and cartoonists, conduct research, and then distribute their works to local garden centers and flower shops.
Water Wheel Project
·Ferryway School, Massachusetts
Fifthgraders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they will already have tested and mastered the centuriesold technology.
African Wildlife DNA
Project
·High Tech High, California
An eleventh grade biology class uses DNA to help protect African wildlife. The students share their findings with wildlifeprotection officials and have traveled to Tanzania to lead bushmeatidentification workshops. This great project will serves as a perfect platform where students can combine theory with practice.
Bridge Project
·Kentucky Elementary School, Ohio
Students conduct surveys, do research, build models and take field trips with the goal of determining the best kind of new bridge to build over the Ohio River. Students don't restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science-whatever is appropriate to the study.

话题:心理健康课程
Schools need to give students all the tools they need when they graduate. Besides teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, teaching about mindfulness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have. The state of Florida agrees.
Now, public schools in Florida have been required to teach five or more hours about mental health for students in grades 6—12. This new idea was welcomed by the Florida Board of Education in July and is being carried out as a potential lifesaver.
The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms(症状) of mental illness and where to find help if they are feeling sad or have other problems and even teaches the teenagers how to help their friends and classmates if they see them struggling.
“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being active in our commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their successes and challenges. Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in supporting our families,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.
Florida is the third state, following New York and Virginia in 2020, to pass laws that require mental health education in schools. According to CNN, the New York law updated the health curriculum to include mental health for elementary, middle and high school students. The Virginia law required that mental health education be provided for 9th and 10th graders.
These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the intricacy of life as they grow from teenagers into adults. It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate it safely is essential. Mental health is something that should be taught in schools in all the US and across the globe.

5.What does Richard Corcoran intend to stress in Paragraph 4?
A.The steps of mental health instruction.
B.The consequences of mental illness cases.
C.The importance of mental health education.

解析:A [词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the”以及后文“It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate it safely is essential.(他们面对的是一个令人困惑的世界,给他们安全导航的工具是至关重要的。)”可知,青少年面对的是一个令人困惑的世界,说明这个世界充满了复杂性,因此美国这三个州正在采取大胆措施,帮助年轻人在从青少年成长为成年人的过程中处理生活的复杂性。故划线词意思是“复杂性”。]
7.Where is the text probably taken from?

话题:教孩子骑自行车
How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?
You never forget how to ride a bike, but most of us forget how hard it was to learn. __1__. Here's what to keep in mind when instructing little ones from two feet to two wheels.
Begin with the right equipment. Start with a bicycle that's the right size. A newbie should be able to sit on the seat with both feet flat on the ground. If the child has been using a bike with training wheels, remove them. __2__. Long pants and longsleeved shirts aren't a bad idea, either, to prevent injury in the event of a fall.
__3__. Head to a location that has smooth, flat, open pavement and little or no traffic to distract or endanger your child. It helps if there's no one around, too, so he won't feel selfconscious. The ideal spot? A school parking lot on the weekend.
Emphasize the basics. The fundamentals of biking are balance, coasting, pedaling, and steering. To help a child learn these basic skills, remember to show how to do that in the flesh and dare to let him try. No doubt there will be more than a few stops and starts and maybe even a fall or two. __4__.
Now practice a lot. After a fair number of dry runs, it's time to move to the big stage. Find a bike path or a littletravelled street in a residential neighbourhood. __5__. Bike along with him to check that he's using proper safety techniques and feels comfortable pedaling in traffic.
A.Find a safe spot to learn
B.Go to practice with the child
C.Encourage him to slow down and go on
D.Show him how to share the road with cars
E.A goodquality, wellfitting helmet is also a must
F.That's why the experience of teaching children to ride can be frustrating
G.But eventually, he will manage to ride a fair stretch without stopping or falling
