    A pen has always been an important tool when we are taking exams.However,in the digital age,this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.Cambridge University in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and allowing students to use laptops or iPads to take exams instead.The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained (抱怨) that students' handwriting is becoming too hard to recognize.The fall in writing clearly depends on laptops in lessons and elsewhere.
    As a result,more and more students with poor handwriting are being forced to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to their teachers.However,some criticized (批評(píng)) the move,fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art.
    Tracey Trussell,a handwriting expert,asked Cambridge to "make sure that students continue to write by hand,particularly in lessons".She told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
    The move also draws the attention of Harvard professor Eric Mazur.He believes that the rise of mobile Internet use means that we live in an age in which we don't need to remember anything.
    So he encourages students to bring their laptops and mobile phones into exams.With them,students can "look up whatever they want,whenever they want" and be tested on their productive skills,rather than the ability of memory.

  • 1.Some young people win distinction (出名) because of their good looks,their dance moves or their singing ability.A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something significant and worthwhile with their abilities.Rishab Jain is among the latter.In 2018 at the age of 13,he developed a way to use artificial intelligence (人工智能) to help pancreatic (胰腺的) cancer patients.Rishab's "Pancreatic Cancer Deep Learning System" won the Discovery Education 3 M Young Scientist Challenge and is 525,000 prize.
       Rishab explains that a family friend died of cancer.Then he learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is,and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat."I'm also into programming,so I was learning about artificial intelligence.I decided to combine the two areas to try to solve a real-world problem using artificial intelligence."
       Rishab has invested his winnings in further research and in his nonprofit (非營(yíng)利的) Samyak Science Society.Samyak helps poor children center the STEM.Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer.Many kids would have simply blown their prize money on a fast car or some other shallow things.Rishab has also put some money aside to further his own learning.He is considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor or both.
       How did Rishab become the one that he is?It helped that his father is an engineer.And he has been inspired by his brother and other relatives who work and do research in the medical field.He's seen how STEM jobs have given them "the opportunity to make immediate differences in people's lives".That's an outstanding outlook (見(jiàn)解) for one so young.Rishab is providing his teenage peers with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can accomplish.

    (1)What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

    A.What led to Rishab's creative idea.
    B.How difficult it is to treat pancreatic cancer.
    C.Why Rishab learned artificial intelligence.
    D.How to solve a real-world problem.
    (2)What does the underlined word "blown" mean in Paragraph 3?

    A.Earned.
    B.Saved.
    C.Collected.

    (4)Which may be the best title for the text?

    A.A New Hope for the Pancreatic Cancer Patients
    B.Different Ways for Young People to Gain Fame
    C.A Young Scientist and His Family Doing STEM Jobs
    D.A Teenager Making Differences Using Artificial Intelligence

  • 2.For 18 years after her retirement,Deng Xiaolan volunteered to teach music in a village in Fuping county,Hebei province.Her inspirational teaching and the enthusiasm and talent of her pupils made the 44 children from Malan village sing the Olympic anthem (頌歌) in Greek at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Feb,which were one of the highlights of the night.
       Deng's involvement with the rural children can be dated back to her parents.Her father Deng Tuo was the publisher of Jinchaji Daily,a newspaper which was based in Malan village in Fuping county,Hebei province,from 1939 to 1948.During the Japanese aggression (侵略),19 Malan locals were killed for refusing to divulge information about the newspaper.Under the influence of her parents,who both had a passion for music,she learned the violin and singing when she was young.She joined the school band after entering Tsinghua University,and also taught her workmates to play the violin after graduation.
       In 2003,when Deng Xiaolan returned to the village to remember the persons who were killed by Japanese invaders,a group of local children also attended the ceremony.She wanted to sing a song together with the children in commemoration (紀(jì)念儀式),but none of the children knew the well-known songs she named.
       "If the children couldn't sing,then they wouldn't know how to appreciate music.Life would be so colorless if it doesn't have music," Deng said. "My parents lived and fought here when they were young,and they wanted the locals to live a happy life.So I thought if I had the chance,I must teach them to sing."
       Deng began to travel between Beijing and the village since 2004 to teach the children music.She collected instruments and also rebuilt the school houses by raising funds and using her own money.As the children had no background in music,she had to teach them basic music knowledge.
       Two years later,she formed the Malan Band.Among more than 200 students taught by Deng,many left the mountainous village to receive university education,some of whom are studying art at university or have entered a career in art education.

    (1)What contributed to the 44 children sing at the opening ceremony?

    A.They have a good command of Greek.
    B.The Winter Olympics Committee chose them.
    C.Deng's inspirational deeds and talent of her pupils.
    D.Deng Xiaolan taught them and helped them sign up.
    (2)What can we know about Deng's life in paragraph 2?

    A.She was a publisher of Jinchaji Daily.
    B.She majored in music in Tsinghua University.
    C.Her father was killed during Japanese aggression.
    D.Her parents played an important role in her love of music.
    (3)Which of the following can replace the underlined word "divulge"?

    A.make up.
    B.give away.

  • 3.閱讀短文,按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
       While other teenagers might be busy taking care of their personal pages online or playing games for hours,14-year-old Jackson Oswalt from Memphis has been busy doing something different.He has spent his free time building his own nuclear reactor (核反應(yīng)堆) in his home.Now,the boy is praised by city leaders for his achievement as he is the youngest person to have achieved nuclear fusion (核聚變).
       At just 12 years old,Jackson chose to spend his time exploring his interest in nuclear physics.After scouring the Internet,the student learned of the story of Taylor Wilson,an Arkansas boy who won recognition in the field of science as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in 2008 at the age of 14.Jackson was greatly inspired by him.
       The process of the nuclear experiment is not easy at all.But Jackson thought if Wilson could do it,then he could,too.Maybe he could even break Wilson's record in the process.The boy started his project by turning his playroom into a laboratory.Then he bought different kinds of things to build own nuclear fusion reactor.
       "The beginning of the scientific research was just learning about what other people had done with their fusion reactors," Jackson said.His parents spent nearly $8,000 to $10,000 supporting his nuclear experiment. "With the money,I searched for and bought the parts that I needed.Often the parts I found were not exactly what I wanted,so I had to make improvements to them."
       Jackson's hard work finally paid off.Hours before his 13th birthday,he made history as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in January last year.Months after the project,Jackson continued to test his fusion reactor to further prove his project.On Tuesday,Memphis City leaders officially praised Jackson's achievements with a resolution.

    (1)What has Jackson Oswalt spent his free time doing? (no more than 10 words)

    (2)What does the underlined word in Para.2 probably mean? (1 word)

    (3)How did Jackson Oswalt start his project?(no more than 10 words)

    (4)Why did Jackson have to make improvements to the parts?(no more than 15 words)

    (5)What do you think of Jackson Oswalt ?Please explain.(no more than 20 words)
