16、Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary,middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction is well founded:research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behindtheir international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers andparents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rushto play catch⁃up in STEM⁃related areas, there's one important aspect that is beingneglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high schoollevel helps students improve in many areas, such as self⁃confidence, self⁃expression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree thatall of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the sameparents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject likedrama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult forpolicy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama,when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world iscalling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the tech⁃driven 21st century,how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smallerand smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramaeducation has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop studentswith highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachersthat will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is thebest way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearablydry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in whichthe communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation.Drama improves students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectivelypresent papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEMworld, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skillsnecessar y to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilledone becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate andwork in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catch⁃up in STEM education isreasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effectarts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. Thequestion parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking them selves is not “can weafford to support arts education in schools?” but rather “can we afford not to?”
1．Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?
A．Because the world has moved into a tech⁃driven century.
B．Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.
C．Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.
D．Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.
2．The word “channel” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.
A．afford B．direct C．create D．raise
3．The third paragraph is mainly about .
A．the benefits of drama education
B．the importance of STEM learning
C．the abilities needed for STEM learning
D．the reasons to improve drama education
4．The writer probably agrees that .
A．drama is more important than STEM classes
B．drama education has been the nationwide trend
C．the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bear
D．American students have made progress in playing catch⁃up

18、A few weeks ago, our dog, which we had kept for more than ten years, had to be put down. First，a tumor on her stomach got worse, and she was very painful. Then，the pain in her back got so serious that sometimes she would lie down in the middle of a walk and couldn’t take another step.
I didn’t know the fact until a week after that. Then I was very sad and cried a lot. She was more like a sister to me than
a pet. So I was very angry at my stepfather, Steve, who had not told us the truth at once. He explained that he didn't want to worry us, and he didn't want me to get depressed(沮丧的) and fail my exams. Before that, I always thought that Jennie had been still at the animals' hospital.
“She was my dog! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.” I couldn’t help shouting. Steve just sat still. People in my family had a habit of keeping unpleasant things from me. They thought they were protecting me. But that’s not tr ue. Once I got the bad news, I might be much more painful for some moments that I had missed. I turned to my mom, and she said, “I know. I’m angry, too.” After a while, she added, “Poor Steve had to go through all this on his own.” Hearing that, I immediat ely shut up my mouth and was lost in deep thought.
Maybe I had been so focused on myself so much. That dog was also Steve’s baby. He’d had her for longer than he’d had us---but he had to make the difficult decision to end her life, and then kept in silence for an entire week.
My anger began to melt away, and I could guess what Steve might feel these days.
My mom’s words have constantly haunted in my ear and in my mind till now. Sometimes, we should think more of others’ pain.
1．The phrase “put down” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________.
A．kept B．set free C．cut open D．killed
2．What can we learn about the pet dog?
A．Some terrible tumors on her stomach got worse.
B．She had been kept by Steve since she was born.
C．She had been badly ill and quite painful.
D．The family gave up the treatment as soon as they knew Jennie got ill.
3．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．Steve always kept everything in himself alone.
B．The family often told white lies to the author to protect her.
C．The author’s mom didn’t understand her feeling.
D．The author’s mom thought Steve shouldn’t withstand so much pain alone.
4．How did the author feel at last?
A．Angry and stressful. B．Regretful and sorry.
C．Anxious and uneasy. D．Disappointed and bored.
5．The best title of the passage could be ________.
A．A Right Decision B．Believe in Ourselves
C．Try to Put Y ourself in other’s Shoes D．My Stepfather and I

19、One possible version：
Hi, Emily,
I think it's lucky for you to have such good parents. You should understand and respect them, and do what they ask you to do. They have richer experience and better advice for young people. As your parents, they surely hope you become an excellent person. Their demands are helpful for your growing up.
Every member should be responsible and do something for the family. So you should do what you can do, such as keep your room clean and do the washing-up. Remember: Learning by doing. You should keep your hair tidy and wear smart clothes. Teenagers should look like teenagers. Anyway, if you have any problems, just talk with your parents.
Chen Lin, Zibo。
