Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s.Until about 2035, the main function of
education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.In 2080,the purpose
of education is the well-being of society and all its members.To make this a bit more tangible for you,I
would like to give an example of what a child's education looks like in 2080.Her name is Shemsy.Shemsy is
13,and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist.The
institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative
learning environment.Schools have been replaced with“Learning Hubs”that are not restricted to certain
ages.They are where intergenerational learning happens,in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong
pursuit.
Every year,Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive“teacher-
citizen”.Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like
to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community.She also spends lots of time playing as the role
of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a
lot collaboratively.Access to education is universal,and higher education institutions no longer
学科网（北京）股份有限公司differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly.Variability between students is expected
and leveraged(利用)as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength.Shemsy
naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets.She still has some classes to take that are
mandatory for children globally:Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080,what does it look like,who does it
serve,and how does it transform our societies?
24.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A.There are different types of education.
B.The present education needs improvements.
C.Education and economy are closely associated.
D.The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
25.What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?
A.It accepts students of all ages. B.It promotes competition.
C.It discourages individualized learning. D.It is all about play-based learning.
26.What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Tough. B.Satisfactory. C.Optional.
D.Required.
27.What is the suitable title for the text?
A.An Example to All B.A Vision for Education
C.A Challenge for Education D.A Journey into the Future

Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole.Fewer know that a blowhole is a
nostril(鼻孔)slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at
sea.And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales,such as sperm whales,have one
hole,baleen(鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales,have two.
Even among the baleen whales,the placing of those nostrils differs.In some species they are close
together.In others,they are much further apart.In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan,a marine
biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science,suggests why that might be.Having two nostrils,he
argues,helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton(浮游动物), which they catch by
filtering( 过 滤 ) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their
mouths.But to eat something you first have to find it.Toothed whales do not hunt by scent.In fact,the
olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures.But baleen whales
still have olfactory bulbs,which suggests smell remains important.And scent can indeed give zooplankton
away.Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under
attack,they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide,which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses.Having two eyes,for instance,allows an animal to compare
the images from each in order to perceive depth.Having two ears lets them locate the direction from
which a sound is coming.Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts
of benefits.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The farther apart the sensory organs are,the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears
them.The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different
species.Sure enough,baleen whales that often eat zooplankton,such as the North Atlantic right whale,have
nostrils that are farther apart than do those,such as humpback whales,that eat zooplankton
occasionally.Besides allowing them to breathe,it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in
which direction dinner lies.
28.What do we know about whales' nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?
A.They are adapted ones. B.They are developed
merely for smell.
C.They are not easy to detect. D.They are fixed universally in
numbers.
29.What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?
A.The teeth that baleen whales have.
B.The smell that phytoplankton send.
C.The sound waves that zooplankton create.
D.The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
30.How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?
A.By quoting a theory. B.By using examples.
C.By making contrast. D.By making inferences.
31.What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?
A.The sense of smell. B.The possibility to attract food.
C.The ability to locate food. D.The ability to communicate.
D
Is forgiveness against our human nature?To answer our question,we need to ask a further question:What
is the essence of our humanity?For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views
of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power.In an early paper on the psychology of
forgiveness,Droll (1984)made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than
forgiving allows.Those who forgive are against their basic nature,much to their harm. In his opinion,forgivers
are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others,who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation,mutual respect,and even love as the basis of who we
are as humans.Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings,we need both to receive love from and offer
love to others.Without love,our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart.Even
common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious
interactions.For example,how well has slavery(奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans,forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and
psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of
forgiveness,shown through scientific studies,is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of
harmony.Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger.At least to the extent the people from whom you are
estranged(不和的)accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments.
Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司As an important note,when we take a Classical philosophical perspective,that of Aristotle,we see the
distinction between potentiality and actuality.We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive,but
instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive.The actuality of
forgiving,its actual appropriation in conflict situations,develops with practice.
32.What is Droll's idea about forgiveness?
A.People should offer mercy to others.
B.Aggressive people should learn to forgive.
C.Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.
D.People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.
33.What does the example in paragraph 2 illustrate?
A.To forgive is to love. B.To dominate is to harm.
C.To fight is to grow. D.To give is to receive.
34.What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness?
A.Favorable. B.Reserved.
C.Objective. D.Skeptical.
35.What is message of the last paragraph?
A.Forgiveness is in our nature. B.Forgiveness grows with time.
C.It takes practice to forgive. D.Actuality is based on potentiality.

The market for wearable technology in the past few years has been on a rapid rise. We seem to have too
much attachment to data accessible on those devices. 56 is it a good thing that we're relying on technology
more often than not,recording every step we take?Can those tools really maximize your workout benefits?The
real questions surround not the 57 (wear),but the wearer.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The challenge for athletes 58 (look)to up their game with data is finding the type of information that
is most helpful.If you are hoping to run faster and want to try moderating your pace based on heart rate
“zones,”a wearable can help you do so. However,for professionals and those who are new 59 __working
out,less is more.
Earlier this month,Sara Hall,a professional marathon runner competing in the U.S. Olympic
marathon trials,actually 60 (throw) away her GPS watch midrace 61 (avoid) distraction. Similarly,
for beginner runners,it's more important to learn to listen to your body's signals-tiredness, 62 (ache),bursts
of energy - 63 to track your pace or heart rate.Depending on what those goals are,there might be ways to
achieve them that are more cost 64 (effect),more fun,more convenient.Dr.Ethan Weiss,a physician at the
University of California tells his patients that a different item 65 (attach) at your wrist,like a leash(狗
绳) ,is more likely to pull you toward more activity.

“I'll bet Anjali knows.Right,Anjali?Why don't you show us since you're the star student,”Deepak
taunted(奚落) .
Anjali was confused.She wasn't trying to show off.She was just playing tabla( 印 度塔不拉鼓),like
everyone else.And why was Deepak being so mean lately?Is it because tabla is a boy's thing?She didn't
care that people thought it was a boys' instrument.Anjali knew there was no such thing.She danced her
fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion.“Ugh!”Anjali heard someone groan, and
she stopped playing.
“I guess I don't know it that well after all,”Anjali said sheepishly to the teacher, Mr.Zakir.Her
stomach was doing flip-flops.That wasn't true.Not even a little.Mr. Zakir's eyes narrowed.He looked like
he was about to say something,but changed his mind.“The recital( 演奏会 ) is next week,everyone.Keep
practicing.I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert!”Anjali had
dreamed of a moment like that.She wanted to win the opportunity,but she needed to sort things straight
with Deepak first.
As the class was dismissed,Anjali hurried over to Deepak.When she finally made eye contact with
him,he purposely looked away and walked off.The next day at school,Anjali overheard Deepak
whispering to Mary.“People are only interested because she's the only girl in tabla class and they want
her to feel special.She's not that good—”Anjali was furious.She excused herself and went to the
bathroom.She took some deep breaths but couldn't relax.Her heart was pounding:
学科网（北京）股份有限公司“It's not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla.I make mistakes too,but
I work really hard.Maybe he should too.He should be less mean and practice more.”
“If I play in this concert,no one will talk to me again.He will turn everyone against me.”
“I don't want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!” Anjali yelled at the
mirror.It was quiet for a moment.She believed it was one of her darkest days ever.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Stepping out of the bathroom,Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall.
After the recital,Deepak walked up to Anjali.
