    The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language
    cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the
    verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal(语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new
    things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.
    The mst credible analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre
    the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach. Cgnitive
    psychlgists agree that early childhd language learning (ages 2 t 10) is critical t later verbal cmpetence, nt just because f the remarkable
    linguistic plasticity f yung minds, but als because f the s-called Matthew Effect.
    The name cmes frm a passage in the Bible: “Fr unt every ne that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but frm him that hath
    nt shall be taken away even that which he hath.” Thse wh are language-pr in early childhd get relatively prer, and fall further behind, while
    the verbally rich get richer.
    The rigin f this cruel truth lies in the nature f wrd learning. The mre wrds yu already knw, the faster yu acquire new wrds. This sunds like
    an invitatin t vcabulary study fr babies, but that’s been tried and it’s nt effective. Mst f the wrd meanings we knw are acquired indirectly, by
    intuitively(凭直觉的) guessing new meanings as we understand the main idea f what we are hearing r reading. The Matthew Effect in language can be
    restated this way: “ T thse wh understand the main idea shall be given new wrd meanings, but t thse wh d nt there shall fllw bredm and
    frustratin.”
    Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read. If
    preschlers and kindergartners are ffered substantial and cherent lessns cncerning the human and natural wrlds, then the results shw up five
    years r s later in significantly imprved verbal scres. By staying n a subject lng enugh t make all yung children familiar with it (say, tw weeks r
    s), the main idea becmes understd by all and wrd learning speeds up. This is especially imprtant fr lw-incme children, wh cme t schl
    with smaller vcabularies and rely n schl t pass n the knwledge base children frm rich families take fr granted.
    Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t
    imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.
    【小题1】The drp in verbal scres n the SAT is wrrisme because ________.
    A.it will lead t a shrt supply f talents in the labr market
    B.it reveals yung peple’s negative attitude twards verbal study
    C.it shws the schls’ inability t meet the natinal requirements
    D.students’ reading and writing ability affects their future develpment
    【小题2】Which f the fllwing is the reasn fr the falling verbal cmpetence?
    A.Children’s lack f language learning ability.
    B.Fewer curses n reading and writing in schl.
    C.The shift f curricular fcus frm cntent t skills.

    In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen
    cunter. He cmpared the daily migratins f his pts, pans, spns, and graters t the revlutins f celestial bdies (天体), and began t track them in
    a “cunter histry”. A year later, he published the results as Glden Apple f the Sun (2021), a bk-length pht essay that expands his islated
    dmestic experiment until it seems t include the whle wrld. Cle writes abut the hunger he suffered as a barding-schl student in Nigeria, Dutch
    Glden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient ckbk. “The later a phtgraph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cle
    explained. Smehw, frm this kitchen sink f memir (回忆录), art histry, and bservant bredm emerges a prtrait f the pandemic’s cllective
    slitude, “this year f feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
    Cle’s wrk makes an art—and a necessary virtue—f clse lking. Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New
    Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings. In Cle’s essays, tranquil
    Vermeers reveal traces f empire in clnial times, and strmy Caravaggis picture befrehand the uncertain jurneys f twenty-first-century migrants.
    His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight. “Amng the human rights is
    the right t remain unseen and dark,” Cle writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay cllectin. In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but
    their presence is everywhere implied. Blind Spt (2017), an experimental pht bk recrding his travels, gathers images f htel rms, brder fences,
    ships, and tmbs. “Darkness is nt empty,” Cle writes. “It is infrmatin at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips frm the shadws.”
    【小题1】What made Cle start t take phts f his kitchen cunter?
    A.His islated dmestic lifestyle.
    B.His great interest in pht-taking.
    C.The inspiratin he gt while stargazing.
    【小题2】What d we knw abut Cle’s first nvel?
    A.It was praised fr making a new art.
    D.The suffering as a barding-schl student.
    B.It was written thrugh a student’s view.
    C.It resurfaces traces f a clnial empire.
    【小题3】Why des Cle prefer the limits f visin in his wrks?
    A.Peple can feel what is unseen by themselves.
    B.Human rights can be well prtected in the thery.
    C.It is ne f the basic skills fr the artists like him.
    D.He starts a new style t write abut cmmn peple.
    【小题4】What can we infer abut Cle?
    D.It fresees the uncertain jurney f migrants.
    A.He has a limited visin.
    B.He published a ckbk.
    C.He enjys taking phts f peple.
    D.He fcuses n stries behind pictures.
    One by ne, prejudices are disappearing in the West. Peple may harbr private suspicins that ther peple’s race r sex makes them inferir—
    but t say s penly is ttally tab. One ld prejudice remains respectable, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.
    They are nt charged t special taxes, as they were in Sviet Russia; nr are they driven frm their hmes, as they still are in sme pr cuntries.
    The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism. Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their
    pensins. Childless pliticians are charged with nt having a prper stake in sciety. “He talks t us abut the future, but he desn’t have children!”
    cmplained Jean-Marie Le Pen, c-funder f the Natinal Frnt party, f Emmanuel Macrn, wh went n t win the French presidency. Similar attacks
    n Theresa May and Angela Merkel als failed but researchers find that many vters quietly agree.
    The charges against the childless shuld be thrwn ut, alng with ther scial prejudice. In many rich cuntries, between 15% and 20% f wmen,
    and a slightly higher prprtin f men, will nt have children. The share is rising. Sme have medical prblems; thers d nt meet the right persn in
    time; still thers decide they d nt want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks n the childless are baseless.
    If nn-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way f shwing it. They are mre likely t set up charitable fundatins than peple with children,
    and much mre likely t dnate mney t gd causes. Accrding t ne American estimate, the mere fact f nt having children raises the amunt a
    persn leaves t charity by a little ver $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful cunterweight t the wrld’s parents, wh stp scial
    immbility by passing n their scial and ecnmic advantages t their children.
    The fact that s many senir pliticians lack ffspring ught t put t rest the idea that they d nt care fr sciety. Five f the G7 cuntries are led
    by childless men and wmen. Mr. Macrn, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinz Abe and Pal Gentilni have their faults, but they are nt ntably less able
    than Justin Trudeau (wh has three children) let alne Dnald Trump (wh has five). Their pprtunities fr neptism are limited. And they spare their
    cuntries dynastic plitics.

    The charge that childless peple fail t pull their weight in ppulatin is crrect, but is less serius than it appears. Thse wh d nt have children
    d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r
    accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne. But t sustain public pensins in the lng term, cuntries d nt actually need mre
    parents. What they need instead is mre babies. It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh
    becme parents have mre than ne r tw children. That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag. Ireland, yet anther cuntry with a
    childless leader, still manages it tday.
    The childless als d everyne else a favur by creating wnderful wrks f art. British nvelists have been especially likely t have n ffspring:
    think f Hilary Mantel, P. G Wdehuse and the Brnte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen n its ten-pund nte. That decisin was
    cntrversial, thugh it was hard t see why. Few peple have written as shrewdly abut mney r abut families even thugh Austen did nt marry,
    and had n children.
    【小题1】What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
    A.The childless ften get punished in sciety.
    C.Mst successful pliticians have n children
    B.The childless ften cme under sharp criticism.
    D.Childlessness affects the result f an electin.
    【小题2】The childless are prejudiced because peple think the childless ______.
    A.have a strange way t shw selfishness
    B.set a bad example fr yung peple
    C.are nt as able as thse with children
    D.are the gvernment’s financial burden

    B.Reducing the pensins fr the aged.

    My father decided t start learning French when he was 57. On the surface, his retirement hbby seems a little randm — ur family has n
    cnnectin t French-speaking cuntries — but his
    ran deeper than a passin fr cakes. My grandmther develped signs f Alzheimer’s
    disease (阿尔兹海默症) in her early 70s, and studies suggest that being bilingual, that is, being able t speak tw languages equally well, can

    Lts f activities are linked t better brain health in ld age, like getting mre educatin when yu’re yunger and physical activity. Experts say

    The age at which yu learn anther language appears t be less imprtant than hw yu speak it. The cgnitive (认知的) benefit is frm

    I was a vet in Yrkshire. One day I received a call frm Mrs Tmpkin asking me t cut the beak (喙) f her budgie (虎皮鹦鹉). I armed myself with a
    pair f clippers and stepped nt the narrw strip f pavement which separated the dr frm the rad. A pleasant-lking red-haired wman answered
    my knck.
    “I’m Mrs Ddds frm next dr,” she said. “I keep an eye n the ld lady. She’s ver eighty and lives alne.”
    She led me int the cramped little rm. “Here’s Mr Herrit cming t see Peter fr yu,” she said t the ld wman wh sat in a crner. Mrs
    Tmpkin ndded and smiled, “Oh that’s gd. Pr little fella can hardly eat with its lng beak and I’m wrried abut him. He’s my nly
    cmpanin, yu knw.”
    “Yes, I understand, Mrs Tmpkin.” I lked at the cage by the windw with the green budgie perched (栖息) inside. “These little birds can be
    wnderful cmpany when they start chattering.”
    She laughed, “Yes, but it’s a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he’s lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
    “Of curse yu d,” I said, “but he certainly needs attentin nw.”
    The beak was greatly vergrwn, curving away dwn till it tuched the feathers f the breast. I wuld be able t revlutinize his life with ne quick
    snip frm my clippers. The way I was feeling this jb was right up my street.
    I pened the cage dr and slwly inserted my hand.
    “Cme n, Peter,” I wheedled (哄骗). As I lifted him ut, I felt in my pcket with the ther hand fr the clippers. Then I stpped.
    The tiny head was n lnger pking cheekily frm my fingers but had fallen lsely t ne side. The eyes were clsed. He was dead.
    Mrs Ddds and I lked at each ther in hrrr. When I turned my head twards Mrs Tmpkin, I was surprised t see that she was still ndding and
    smiling.
    I drew her neighbr t ne side. “Mrs Ddds, hw much des she see?”
    “Oh, she’s very shrt-sighted but she’s right vain despite her age. Never wuld she wear glasses. She’s hard f hearing, t.”
    “Well, lk,” I said. My heart was still punding. “I just dn’t knw what t d. If I tell her abut this, the shck will be terrible. Anything culd
    happen.”
    Mrs Ddds ndded, stricken-faced. “Yes, yu’re right. She’s that attached t the little thing.”
