As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.
(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?
Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.
(3) Does the course really meet your needs?
Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?
(4) Do you need a support group?
Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.
(5) What kind of certification will you get?
Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges.
1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?
A. A video-based course.
B. A text-based course.
C. A forum-based discussion.
D. A project-based assessment.
2. What kind of learners need an in-person support group?
A. Learners who prefer individual work.
B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.
C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.
D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.

America---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.
I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?
The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.
The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.
4. Why does the writer mention Europe?
A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.
B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.
C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.
D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education
5. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?
A. Less concerned.
B. More worried.
C. Quite doubtful.
D. Very supportive.
6. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?
A. Make the world globalizing.
B. Achieve success in business.
C. Experience people’s real life there.
D. Keep away their own culture.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Using a second language can bring harmony.
B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.
C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.
D. Learning a second language can be difficult.
C
Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.
Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.
But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings. But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates taught mostly by part-time instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.
Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide.
A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty andthrivein society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So when you choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.
8. What can we know about Kwasi Enin from paragraph 1?
A. He was from a very poor family.
B. He would choose the top university.
C. He was too excited to calm himself at the good news.
D. He considered his interests when choosing his university.
9. What can you infer from paragraph 2?
A. Few students can be admitted to university.
B. Many students face the choices like Kwasi.
C. Top universities are the first choice for most students.
D. American students can afford their university by themselves.
10. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4?
A. Fail
B. Succeed
C. Research
D. Work
11. What should the best university be like according to the text?
A. Very large and have good instructors.
B. Small boarding schools with discussion-based classes.
C. It will offerthe diploma to get the most highly paid job.
D. It will help continue to develop far beyond university years.
D
The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.
According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.
Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.
“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.
Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.
Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”
Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.
12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?
A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.
B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.
C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.
D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.
13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?
A. It is boring to make comments.
B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.
C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.
D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.
14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?
A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.
B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.
C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.
D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.
15. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？
A. Positive.
B. Uncertain.
C. Disappointed.
D. Confused.

I recently had a bad cold. My Chinese friends suggested that I drank some hot water, it made me think of some common home remedies (家庭疗法) back in the US.
When I was about 10, I got the flu, and my mom didn’t take me to the doctor. First, she had me to take several hot showers. Then, she told me to put on as much clothes as I could. After that, I slept on a thick blanket. I was sweating so much that I felt like I’d just taken a bath. Within a day, my flu gone.
This kind of “sweating” is the common home remedy in the West. Another remedies include drinking ginger soda when you have a stomachache and eat chicken noodle soup when you have a cold.
第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I grew up in a large family of twelve siblings（兄弟姐妹）.We weren’t poor by most standards, but things were definitely tight for us. My parents never shared their financial worries. Instead, they chose to let us have a carefree childhood. But despite their consideration, I knew, as children often do, that there were times they went without and that certain things my friends had wouldn’t be available to me.
Back in those days, hot lunch was a luxury for the wealthier kids, and hot-lunch buyers sat separately from the students who brought cold lunch. My siblings and I brought lunch from home every day: thick slices of homemade bread hiding one scant slice of bologna, three oatmeal cookies, and a small apple. We would look on longingly as the rich kids proudly sat down with their steaming plates of fried chicken or fish sticks and potato puffs, cartons of cold milk, chilled peaches and a slice of cake.
I never said anything, but my first grade teacher, Mrs. Caruso, must have seen the desire in my eyes. One day she quietly pressed a note into my hand and whispered, “Give this to your mother.”
I skipped home and gave my mom the note. She read it and smiled. “Well, Mrs. Caruso said because of all your hard work, she wants to buy your lunch tomorrow.” The next day, I proudly carried my tray of chicken fricassee across the cafeteria and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn’t as great as I had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group.
One rainy day, Mrs. Caruso asked me to stay after school. My stomach instantly dropped to the floor. Surely, I must be in trouble! Did she know I hadn't finished my math sheet? Did she see me teasing Billy on the playground?
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After the other students had left, Mrs, Caruso said she was going to finish her work and then drive me home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____
