Ⅰ. 阅读理解

(2021·重庆高三第二次联考)“The research is clear that usable knowledge — that is, learning that can be transferred to new situations — only occurs when individuals are actively making sense of the world” (Science and Engineering for Grades 6－12: Investigation and Design at the Center, p. 57)

One of the recent innovations (创新) in science and engineering education is the central focus on having students figure out puzzling phenomena and solving real­world problems. This idea builds on decades of research on how people learn and shifts the focus from “learning about” a science topic or the engineering design process to “figuring out” how to explain a phenomenon they see or solving a problem. With this focus, students learn ideas and skills because they realise they are missing some knowledge or skill that would allow them to answer their own questions — to satisfy their curiosity.

Students' engagement in their own learning is a strong predictor of their achievement, and teachers often report that it is a challenge to engage students in learning when they are not face­to­face in a classroom. However, by centring students' experience on figuring something out that they are genuinely curious about, science and engineering learning can become the most engaging part of a student's day, even in remote learning environments. A phenomenon­and problem­centred focus provides opportunities to connect learning more closely to students' own lives and therefore to make it more relevant to them when they are at home.

If students explore a phenomenon or problem that they see in their own home, neighbourhood, or community, they can more easily apply the learning in other aspects of their lives.

Living with Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默病), Lata, an 83­year­old lady finds focus and inspiration in tribal art, and the only memories she is left with — her childhood.

He got her painting supplies and books on animals and plants. Now, she can spend hours painting the most detailed images. And for those hours, she is at peace and is focused. She is also the  most comfortable while doing some housework.   4   She knows where everything in her kitchen is and still refuses to keep help at home.

  5   From encouraging her art to answering all her questions when she forgets things from minute to minute, he did everything patiently. For Lata, everything is new every day and it's her painting that keeps her going. Talent has no age!
