It was almost dark and some streets were already lighted. Everyone seemed to go home in a hurry. Passing a well-dressed man, little ragged Rafiq called again, holding a paper high up with one hand," Daily Star, Sir, only eight cents..."But the man went on without a word. Rafiq had been up and down the street the whole day crying but there were still twenty papers under his arms.
The shops would soon close and he would have to go home too, carrying papers instead of money. He had longed to have more money tonight to buy a cake for his mother and some bird-seed for his favourite pet Bulbul which was a gift from his father before he died. He had spent all the money both he and his mother possessed to buy papers. It was heartbreaking and more than he could bear to think about that.
"An unlucky day!" sighed Rafiq and his eyes fell on the last page of Daily Star.
An honest boy wanted ---Truefulness and honesty is what he owns.
(Public, 425 Lafayette St.212-967-7555, Mr.Iskandar)
"Honesty?" Rafiq breathed deeply.
"Hello, Rafiq. Haven’t you sold your papers yet? I sold mine 2 hours ago." Rafiq looked up and saw Sardul, another news boy.
"Why? That’s more than 160 copies."
"Rafiq," said Sardul as he drew near to him so that no one would hear what he was going to say. "You must run quickly up the street and shout ‘Hot news！Bomb bursting at local school. Many died’."
"But it’s not in the paper!"
"Nobody will catch you. Just run away quickly before they have time to see, and you’ll sell out and get your money."
Paragraph 1：
Rafiq dipped his hand into his pocket, feeling the few notes and coins there, lost in thought.

Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese painting in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them — literally.
1. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. 2.
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. 3. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation.
4. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?
5. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
A.Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
B.Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess.
C.It’s not important whether they are artists or technicians.
D.They do this by using their phones to change their colors and patterns.
E.They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
F.The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.
G.This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
Both online learning and distance learning require similar online learning tools, but there the similarity ends.
The key difference between them is location. With online learning, students can be together in the classroom with an instructor while working through their digital lessons and assessments. When using distance learning, students work online at home while the teacher assigns work and checks in digitally.
Next, used as a mixed learning technique along with other teaching strategies, online learning will involve in-person interaction between you and your students on a regular basis. On the contrary, with distance learning you’ll likely rely on digital forms of communication such as messaging apps, video calls, discussion boards, and your school’s learning management system.
Both online learning and distance learning are effective teaching strategies, they do have their own distinct advantages.
To start, online learning can increase student engagement with a variety of instructional resources and teaching methods to deliver content in multiple ways. Second, using online learning tools makes it easier for you to differentiate your instruction. When using tools like digital curriculum, you will have more flexibility and control for differentiating your lessons. Finally, online learning is a time saver. Many digital curriculum tools do the heavy lifting for you by providing ready-to-use lesson plans, instructional materials, and assessments. Many online learning tools also automatically grade those assessments and post them to your teacher dashboard.
Compared to online learning, distance learning can continue without disturbance even in events like snow days or the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, distance learning provides greater flexibility for students to work at their own pace and review work as needed. This also ties in with the fact that students can access your course material at the times that work best for them, which is important for students who may have irregular work schedules.
1.What’s the distinctive feature of the interaction in online learning?
A.Communicating face to face regularly. B.Interacting via digital apps.
C.Communicating with discussion boards. D.Interacting privately irregularly.
2.Complete the diagram. (S-student; T-teacher)
A.① S: highly motivated; ② S: learn at their own pace
B.① T: deliver different lessons easily; ② S: enjoy more flexibility
C.① T: do the heavy lifting; ② T: more accessible
D.① S: enjoy more flexibility; ② T: regular work schedules
3.Whom is the text intended for?
A.Parents. B.Students. C.Technicians. D.Teachers.
4.About the two methods, what will be talked about following the last paragraph?
A.Their advantages. B.Their differences.
C.Their disadvantages. D.Their similarities.
Throughout history, humanity has existed side-by-side with viruses and bacteria. From the bubonic plague to smallpox, humanity has evolved to resist these bacteria and viruses. However, there are now new ways for them to infect us.
Climate change is melting permafrost(冻土) areas that have been frozen for thousands of years. As the permafrost melts, so too the ancient bacteria and viruses that have been frozen. These ancient bacteria and viruses, which previously lay inactive in the ice, may spring back to life as the earth’s climate warms.
In August 2016, a 12-year-old boy in the Arctic Circle died and at least twenty people there were hospitalized after having been infected by anthrax(炭疽).
Experts studied and concluded that over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthrax died and its body was frozen and trapped under a layer of permafrost. It stayed there, with the disease inactive, until a heatwave in the summer of 2016. The heatwave melted the permafrost and exposed the reindeer body, which then released the infectious pathogen(病原体) into the nearby water and soil, and then into the food supply. More than 2,000 reindeer feeding near the body became infected, which then led to a small number of human cases.
While you may think the incident is isolated to that area, the fact that long-inactive viruses and bacteria might wake up soon due to climate change will affect us all. Pathogenic viruses might be preserved in old permafrost layers, including some that have caused global epidemics in the past.
With climate change, who knows what deadly viruses and bacteria hidden beneath permafrost areas are threatening us. Perhaps it is time for everyone to do their part to stop global warming.
1.What does the underlined “new ways” refer to?
A.Ancient bacteria and viruses came back to life.
B.Bacteria and viruses have evolved into new types.
C.Bacteria and viruses become more resistant to medicine.
D.Ancient bacteria and viruses remain active in frozen permafrost.
2.Which is the right order of the case of anthrax in 2016?
① A 12-year-old boy died and many others were infected.
② Over 2,000 reindeer feeding near the body became infected.
③ The bacteria went into the nearby water, soil, and then food supply.
④ The permafrost melted and the bacteria in the dead reindeer woke up.
A.④ ③ ② ① B.④ ② ③ ① C.① ② ④ ③ D.① ③ ④ ②
3.Why does the writer write this text?
A.To introduce an ancient virus, anthrax.
B.To call on people to stop global warming.
C.To encourage people to study ancient viruses.
D.To warn of the danger of melting permafrost.
4.In which section can we most possibly read this text on a website?
A.Geography. B.Environment. C.Education. D.Medicine.
