【解析】
【详解】【原文】M: We’re glad to have Dr Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?
W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly, when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of as a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer. But suddenly, he stopped having dreams. I asked him what had happened. It turned out that his brother died of a heart attack. And he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and to dream about it was too terrible, people prefer not to dream about it. Actually, the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming, because it means that the bad experience was too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you’re dreaming about it and even if the dreams are frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams when a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad. If people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t allow themselves to even think about it.

Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school principal, whose unusual way of carrying out rules became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie. He gained national attention for his leadership at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey.
“You are not inferior. ” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment and faced violence, drugs and troubled family life which could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.
Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the U. S. Amy Reserve. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark’s first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.
Some praised his efforts at discipline while others criticized his methods. President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1988, one teacher, said his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie “Lean on Me.” That movie was based on Clark’s experiences at Eastside. “Joe was a father figure to school kid,” Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.” Recently, one of Joe Clark’s former students, Thomas McEntyre said, “I never really got a chance to… thank him. We are your product. You did not fail us. No matter whether you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me. ”
After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called “Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark’s Strategy for Saving Our Schools.” He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.
24. By saying “You are not inferior” to his students, Joe Clark meant to________.
A. make the students face the reality
B. lead the students to accept themselves
C. press the students not to make mistakes
D. encourage the students to better themselves
25. What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3mean?
A. Kicked out. B. Drew out. C. Brought out. D. Smoothed out.
26. Which of the following best describes Joe Clark?
A. Tough and unique. B. Demanding and humorous.
C. Kind and considerate. D. Well-meaning and professional.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述一位非传统的高中校长Joe Clark和他不同寻常的执行规则的方式。

推理判断题。根据第二段““You are not inferior. ” is what Clark would often tell his students, many of whom were African American or Latino.

词句猜测题。根据第三段“He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark’s first days of working, he expelled 300 students for breaking school rules. The students who remained at school believed that higher expectations were being placed on them. They felt more pressure to perform better.”(大家都知道他拿着牛角和棒球棒到处走。在Clark工作的第一天，他expelled 300违规的学生。仍然留在学校的学生们认为，他们受到了更高的期望。他们感到压力更大，要表现得更好。)可知，expelled是动词，表示对那些违反校规的学生的惩罚方式。根据后面的“The students who remained at school”(仍然留在学校的学生们)可知，那些违反校规的学生被学校开除了。选项A的意思是“踢出”，和expelled意思一致。故选A。

Online education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.
In April,2005,I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?”Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. The experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.
My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.
27. What benefits the development of online education?
A. Teachers’ good teaching ability. B. Lack of traditional classrooms.
C. Learners’ access to course materials. D. The rapid advance of economy.
28. Why did the author take a student for example?
A. To explain the growing trend of offline education.
B. To predict the future of the teaching career.
C. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.
D. To persuade learners of traditional education.
29. What caused the author to know more about online education?
A. The requirement of research. B. The professional responsibilities.
C. The appetite for knowledge. D. The colleagues’ encouragement.
30. What is the author’s attitude to online education?
A. Carefree. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unwilling.
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. C 30. C
【解析】

China has set new rules limiting the amount of time children can play online games. The rules it children to just three hours of online game playing a week. That is one hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks.
Li Zhanguo has two children aged 4 and 8. Even though they do not have smart phones, they enjoy playing online games. Like many other parents, Li is happy with new government rules. But experts say it is unclear if such policies can help prevent addiction to online games. Children might just get addicted to social media instead. In the end, experts say, parents should be the ones to set limits and support good practices.
There has been a growing concern in China about gaming addiction among children. Government reports in 2018 found that about one in 10 Chinese children were addicted to the Internet.

Companies have set up real-name registration systems to prevent young users from going past game time limits. They have used facial recognition technology to check their identities. And they have also set up a program that permits people to report what is against the law. It is unclear what punishments gaming companies may face if they do not carry out the policies. And even if such policies are performed, it is also unclear whether they can prevent online addiction.
A specialist treating internet addiction expects about 20 percent of children will find ways to break the rules by borrowing accounts of their older relatives and find a way around facial recognition. In his opinion, short-video apps such as Douyin and TikTok are also very popular in China. They are not under the same restrictions as games.
31. When can children play games according to the new rules?
A. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m on Friday. B. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m on Tuesday.
C. Between 10 p.m.and 11 p.m. on Saturday. D. Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Thursday.
32. According to experts,_________.
A. the new rules can stop children's addiction to social media
B. companies are more responsible for kids' obeying the rules
C. the new rules will help prevent children playing online games
D. parents play a greater part in limiting the time of online games
33. What will children probably do to battle with the new rules?

C. Set up real-name registration systems. D. Borrow accounts of their older relatives.

Grandpa’s Old Chair
It was the annual cleaning day for the family. John and his mom were busy cleaning the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside and outside until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Just then, John’s mom noticed an old chair that was faded and worn. That chair was for John’s grandpa, who had lived with them since John’s grandma had died.
“John, come and help me.” John’s mom sprang to her feet. “We’ll take the chair to the curb (路边). The garbage truck is picking up on our block tomorrow.”
As they attempted to move the chair, John’s grandpa made his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly tried to stop them. “No!” he protested. “You can’t take my chair.”
“But it’s so old...” John’s mom argued. “We’ll buy you a new one.”
“No,” he persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.
John’s mom finally let go of the chair and left the room. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.
“Grandpa, why won’t you let us get rid of the chair?” John asked.
“You don’t understand, John.” His grandpa shook his head and said, “I sat in this chair with your grandma right here when I asked her to marry me. And I sat in this chair the night your father was born. Many years later,” Grandpa’s voice broke, “I sat in this chair when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the chair gave me comfort and warmth.” The old man’s sadness seemed to grow as he recalled that fateful day.
“I understand now.” John looked at his grandpa and said, “This is not just any old chair. It is more like a friend.”
“Yes,” he nodded. “We’ve gone through a lot together.”
However, that night, when John and his grandpa were asleep, John’s mom and dad carried the chair outside. It was a starless night. Snow fell silently from the black sky and covered Grandpa’s chair in a blanket of white.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next morning, John was woken by the garbage truck pulling up to the house. He run downstairs and saw his grandpa looking outside through the window, tears rolling down his cheeks. The chair stood at the curb on the street, covered in snow. “Wait! Don’t take that chair,” he shouted. John then ran back inside and said, “Mom, you can’t throw out grandpa’s chair. It has been with him for decades and is like a loyal friend that has witnessed the most important moments in his life!”
Paragraph 2:
Hearing this, John’s mom looked at his grandpa and slowly walked towards him. She handed grandpa a tissue and said, “I’m sorry… I just didn’t realize how much it meant to you. John and I will bring your chair back.” They took the chair back inside. They placed it next to the fireplace so it could dry. John’s mom stepped back, as if seeing the chair for the very first time. “Mm... I guess it does give the room a certain touch of character,” she mused. John and his grandpa wholeheartedly agreed that the living room would be rather dull without this old chair.
