Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it.

2、 I got blisters (水疱) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with

3、the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant gardens.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had

4、 been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass wa

5、s so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. The reporter interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, he interviewed us, and we explained to him what we had learned through this projec

6、t.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.

Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with

10、the specially grown mosquitoes.Researchers first injected (注射) mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria thats common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males t

11、hat dont, allows mating (交配) to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito，” said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.The first success ca

12、me from Australia. Starting in 2011, mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks thata

13、nd local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland communities, Simmons said.The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest its possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a pu

They can form social bonds with robots and will even rescue a robot rat that is trapped in a cage.Rats need to be highly attuned (熟悉) to social signals from others

19、so they can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to lifeless things, Laleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robot rats.They housed eight adult rats with a robot rat

20、for four days. The robot rat resembled a large version of a computer mouse with wheels to move around and colorful markings. During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened cage doors to let trapped rats escape.Next, the researchers

21、trapped the social robot in a cage and gave the rats the chance to set it free by pressing a lever (杠杆). Across 18 trials each, the living rats were likely to set the social robot free. “This suggests the rats viewed the social robot as a real social being，” says Quinn.“The rats may have bonded with

22、 the social robot because it showed behavior like communal (共有的) exploring and playing. This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favor when they get trapped，” says she.The robot was the same size as a regular rat. “Wed assumed wed ha

24、n they come from robots.”9What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe sensitivity of rats to social signals.BThe rats approach to identifying friends.CThe ability of rats to avoid enemies.DThe willingness of rats to talk with robots.10What is the robot rat in the experiment lik

27、I arrived at my Chinese classroom, ready to share my vast knowledge and experience with the 75 students. Having taught in the USA for 17 years, I had no worry at all about my ability to plant enthusiasm for the literature of my mother tongue in my students mind.I was really shocked when the monitor

28、shouted “Stand up” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly calmed down and launched into what I thought was a factpacked lecture. After class, I was sure of gaini

29、ng their respectperhaps even their admiration. I went back to my room with a glow of pleasure that came from a sense of significant accomplishment.My students kept journals, however, and as I read them, the pleasure was gradually replaced by an overwhelming sense of frustration. The first journal sa

30、id, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Heartbroken, I read journal after journal, each expressing a similar theme. “Didnt teach them anything? I sketched the entire philosophical framework of the thought and the historical background for

31、all the works we would study in class.” I complained, “How can they say I didnt teach them anything？”Determined_to_clear_myself,_I dug out all my reference books, adding background material to my next lecture, researching into the sociological setting and even the psychological state of the author.

32、After the second class, I eagerly opened the journals, expecting positive reviews. Again, I was crushed by their continuing comments that I was going too slowly without giving meaningful details.More determined than ever, I dived into sources of criticism, deciding to devote more time to the texts b

33、y providing summaries of all the interpretations I could find. This material would give my students ample information for drawing their own conclusions about the works meaning. “Our teacher seemed confused about the real meaning of the works，”the journals said. “One minute she gave one interpretatio

34、n; the next minute she gave another. Then she asked for our opinions. Were the students. Shes the teacher. She should tell us what the works mean.”It was a long semester, and it gradually became clear to me that my ideas about education were purely Western, and that Chinese ideas differed significan

35、tly. I thought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background information so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide accurate information as directly and concisely as possible. Americans wanted to interpret an

39、nd Western ideas about education are slightly different.BA teachers job is to make students think and have their own opinions.CTeaching is to provide accurate information directly and clearly.DBoth Americans and the Chinese tend to draw conclusions by themselves.B2020江西省五校协作体高三模拟I took a motor ricks

40、haw (人力车；黄包车) to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didnt speak much English, but understood, “Belapur Railway Station.” I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if y

41、ou are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through disorderly traffic.I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a local train to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music

On the shore, in the background, stand three guards, talking to each other. One of them has a deadly weapon hanging casually on his shoulder.
