AShould online learning be encouraged?Editor's note: As many parents have tried to give their children a head start, online education services, with their relatively cheap prices, are mushrooming across the world. What do you think? Should this way of teaching be encouraged?Ted M (UK)Online education is not new. It has been found effective in many countries where access to schools is difficult. It lacks the opportunity for social learning of course, but in most systems there are weekend, summer and winter "camps" where students can arrange to meet and interact with others as part of the courses. Such education is valuable for remote(远程的) learning in inaccessible regions.Linda (China)I find that children today spend less and less time playing outdoors than we did when we were young. We have the technology to enable us to teach students to learn with an amazing variety of resources but I do hope not at the expense of losing their childhood. Breathing (Canada)I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. It's about communicating with others, discussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is spread all over the world. It has some good results too. But I like face-to-face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.Jimmy (US)It really depends on what kind of learner you are. If you are a self-motivated student and can manage your own time, online learning is for you. So long as you have the ability to learn on your own.Sunny (Australia)Onlin e schools offer students with customized learning and help them gain access to courses that may not be provided in their assigned school. This is one of the primary reasons for the increased demand in online learning. Online learning is providing new choices for kids and more choices for parents.21. Which of the fo llowing is Linda’s opinion on online learning?A. It limits the time children spend playing outdoors.B. It is valuable for learning in remote regions.C. It lacks the opportunity for social learning.D. It is very popular all over the world.22. Who is totally supportive to online learning?A. Ted MB. BreathingC. JimmyD. Sunny23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To list the benefits of online learning.B. To introduce the access to online learning.C. To show the quick spread of online learning.D. To present different opinions on online learning.BThe Owl CountAnnie slept in the front of the seat as her father drove through thedarkness. ”We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning, Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into thedarkness, Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night, when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.“Dad, why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. Then we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the count y.”Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then, with a flashlight in hand, they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped(拉上拉链)up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.Suddenly Annie’s father stopped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying, Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl,” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After look ing more closely, Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger, the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.Walking a littl e farther, they came to a tall oak tree. “This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls,” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all soun ded as if the bird were asking, “who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in dis tance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder, shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly two feet tall. Gray feathers were around its dark eyes.The bird did not matter. Annie would never forget the image of the powerful barred owl.24. Why did Annie and her father go to the state park?A. To take a hike in the woods.B. To record the call of barred owl.C. To collect information about birds.D. To protect the environment for wildlife.25. The underline word “frigid” in paragra ph 3 probably means .A. darkB. clearC. coldD. nice26. In paragraph 4, why did Annie’s father stop her suddenly?A. He noticed a screech owl.B. He heard somebody crying.C. He sensed they were in danger.D. He reminded her to take down note.27. How did Annie feel when she saw the barred owl?A. BoredB. RelaxedC. FrightenedD. AmazedCImagine looking at a view of mountaintopsand wondering about the name of each peak.Suddenly, above each mountaintop, a nameappears on the sky. The words are not writtenin smoke by skywriting planes. The words areactually not in the sky at all. They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜).Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades. The first computers filled houses. Transistors(晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop, then a laptop, an d finally a phone. When experimenting with further reductions in size, developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight, which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.One new solution employs microprojectors(微型投影机) to create a readable display(显示) for tiny computers. These machines project computer information onto any surface. Though an amazing breakthrough, there are potential problems. Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see. Besides, these projectors are extremely expensive, and their screens give usersheadaches.Babak Parviz, a researcher at the University of Washington, created another solution: inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens. Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wearer’s field of vision as the display. T o create the display, Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system. At some point, Parviz says, it will be possible to connect the lens to a personal computer device far away such as a cellphone or a laptop. By looking in a certain direction, the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees. The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact len ses. In addition, the computers in the lenses won’t block the wearer's sight at all. Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.28. The contact lenses in the text can ________.A. treat eyesight problemsB. offer beautiful views of natureC. project information on wall surfaceD. show information about what wearers see29. According to Paragraph 3, the microprojectors ________.A. put people’s pr ivacy at riskB. save computer informationC. cause serious illnessesD. support users’ needs30. According to the passage, these contact lenses contribute to ________.A. saving users’ expensesB. reducing computers’ sizeC. limiting the field of visionD. guarding the faraway computers31. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Tiny Computers, Amazing SightsB. Smaller Lenses, Closer ViewsC. Progress towards ClearnessD. Road to the Small WorldDEnough may never be enough. As human beings, it seems that once we get what we think will make us whole, we grow bored quickly and need something new in order to feel satisfied. We are addicted to what we don’t have.You’d better sit down at this very moment and make a list of all the reasons why you’re fortunate and while you’re writing the list, you would want nothing more. You could get together with a group of people whom you care about and discuss ideas. You would feel comfortable with what you have and who you are at that moment or some hours later. The talking heads always tell you that you need to be rich and famous on your television, so your desire for more becomes unquenchable (难抑制的). You forget that you are enough. You find yourself making comparisons between your life and the life of people you think who have figured it out, and all of your achievements are never enough to satisfy you.The issue with this “never enough” mentality is that we all have it to some degree. We fail to realize that even the people who have figured it out are on some level still as lost and broken as everyone else. Everyone is constantly looking for validation (确认) in the form of likes and comments to give meaning to our self-sense. We honestly believe that as long as we buy into the illusion (错觉) when we are happy, everything is going to be great, we won’t have to face reality.Reality is that we want all the material, social media fame, and worthless validation in order to feel accepted by others. The reason why all of those things bring only short-lived satisfaction is that they aren’t the answer. We all keep looking for other people to accept us in order to feel whole. But in fact, it is when we accept ourselves that we can feel really satisfied. We are in a universal competition for acceptance that no one wants a part of, but so few have the courage to stop competing. What will ever be enough?32. After writing down the reasons why you’re fortunate, you may think _______.A. you are lucky enoughB. you need something newC. you will grow bored quicklyD. you should discuss ideas with others33. According to Paragraph 2, the people who have “figured it out” refer to those ___.A. who don’t dare to face the realityB. who want to compare with othersC. who have achieved some kind of successD. who can’t be accepted by others34. People can only get long term satisfaction if __________.A. they can achieve great successB. they believe in their own abilitiesC. the y can accept themselves joyfullyD. they stop comm enting on others’ behavior35. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn people not to set long-term goals.B. To ask people to appreciate what they have.C. To teach people how to hold a positive attitude.D. To make people understand the importance of comparison.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读填句，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
