In China, in rder t ease the pressure n parents’ wallets, educatin is free until children reach the age f abut 15. S why is it that mre than half f a typical family’s spending ges n educatin? The answer is cramming classes: a financial burden s great that it is ften said t discurage cuples frm having children at all. Nw fficials are ding their part. It appears t relieve the pressure n peple’s wallets.
But parents are nt sure whether it will wrk. As many f them see it, cramming is nt ptinal. Exams fr entry t senir high schls are fiercely cmpetitive. Then cmes the dreaded Gaka: the university-entrance exam n which a child’s future depends. N wnder the industry’s grwth has been rapid. One firm, Zuyebang (“help with hmewrk”) says it ffers live-streaming classes t mre than 170m active users each mnth.
But fficials are wrried abut its scial impact. The birth rate is the lwest in decades and China is ageing fast. They als say that schl children are verstressed. Urban pupils attend cramming classes fr mre than 10 hurs a week, accrding t Delitte, an accuntancy firm.
While as the Peple’s Daily, an fficial newspaper, reprted this mnth, the market fr such services is in “endless chas”. It listed prblems ranging frm misleading advertising t high prices and the use f unqualified teachers.
Gvernment’s new regulatins f clamping dwn n cram schls sent shivers thrugh the industry. New Oriental, ne f China’s biggest cramming cmpanies, saw its share price n the New Yrk Stck Exchange drp belw $8, frm a high f mre than $19 in February. On June 9th the educatin ministry said a new gvernment department wuld be set up t versee such businesses, including bth nline curses and lessns in the classrm. There is als a widespread speculatin, including in state media, that the new rules will impse limits n when firms can ffer classes. They may, fr example, prhibit classes after a certain time in the evening, during the summer hlidays r at weekends.
Sme analysts think the gvernment may have anther mtive. Many f the cmpanies belng t China’s tech giants, including Alibaba and Tencent, which have already attracted gvernment’s attentin fr dminating markets and expanding int finance and ther areas. Targeting the cramming business culd be anther way f breaking their wings. Parents wnder whether they will benefit. Sme are cncerned that the new rules will leave them with n chice but t use private tutrs, which culd prve even mre cstly.
24．Why d cramming schls enjy great ppularity amng Chinese students?
A．The exams are s demanding that they have n chice.
B．The live-streaming classes ffered are really appealing.
C．Entering senir high schls makes them less cmpetitive.
D．Gvernment fficials are wrried abut their perfrmance.
25．What is NOT a prblem put frward by the Peple’s Daily with the cram schl market?
A．High fees.B．Experienced tutrs.
C．Imprper advertising.D．Chatic management.
26．What can we infer abut the parents’ attitude twards the new regulatins?
A．Supprtive.B．Indifferent.C．Skeptical.D．Critical.
27．What is the main idea f this passage?
A．China’s tech giants cntrl the market. B．China says n t the cramming business.
C．Gaka impses t much burden t students. D．New Oriental is the biggest cramming cmpany.
C
A ppular saying ges, “Sticks and stnes may break my bnes, but wrds will never hurt me.” Hwever, that’s nt really true. Wrds have the pwer t build us up r tear us dwn. It desn’t matter if the wrds cme frm smene else r urselves—the gd and bad effects are just as lasting.
We all talk t urselves smetimes. We’re usually t shy t admit it, thugh. In fact, we really shuldn’t be shy because mre and mre experts believe talking t urselves ut lud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us encurage urselves, remember things, deal with prblems, and calm urselves dwn. Yu must knw, thugh, that as much as 77% f self-talk tends t be bad. S in rder t stay gd, we shuld nly speak wrds f encuragement t urselves. We shuld als be quick t give urselves a pat n the back. The next time yu finish a prject, d well in a test, r finally clean yur rm, jin me in saying “Gd jb!”
Often, wrds cme ut f ur muths withut thinking abut the effect they will have. But we shuld knw that ur wrds lead t certain effects n thers. Fr example, when returning an item t a stre, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will prbably answer in the same way. Or harsh (刻薄的) and bad language will mst likely cause the clerk t feel bad.
Wrds have pwer because f their lasting effect. Many f us regret smething we nce said. And we remember unkind wrds said t us! Befre speaking, we shuld always ask urselves: Is it lving? Is it needed? If what we want t say desn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Wrds have pwer: bth gd and bad. Thse arund us receive encuragement when we speak psitively. We can give hpe, build self-esteem (自尊) and encurage thers t d their best. Bad wrds destry all thse things. Will we use ur wrds t hurt r t heal? The chice is urs.
28．What is the main idea f the first paragraph?
A．Wrds have a great effect n us.B．Encuraging wrds give us cnfidence.
C．Bad wrds may let us dwn.D．Nt sticks and stnes but wrds will hurt us.
29．Why des the writer say there is n need fr us t feel shy when we talk t urselves?
A．Almst everybdy has the habit f talking t themselves.
B．Talking t urselves can have a gd effect n us.
C．Talking t urselves always gives us curage.
D．It des n harm t have “self-talk” when we are alne.
30．What des the underlined sentence mean?
A．Make urselves relaxed.B．Remind urselves regularly.
C．Praise urselves timely.D．Give urselves happiness.
31．What can we learn frm the text?
A．Encuraging wrds are sure t lead t kind ffers.
B．Bad wrds may encurage us t make mre prgress.
C．It is better t think twice befre talking t thers.
D．Peple tend t remember friendly wrds.
D
Wind turbines (涡轮) and slar panels (太阳电池板) that prduce electricity are examples f “green” technlgy. A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in anther sense. Large cllectins f thse turbines r slar panels appear capable f bringing rains t the desert and wuld allw mre plants t grw.
Building large wind r slar farms just t study their questin was nt an ptin. It wuld be t expensive. S experts Kalnay and Safa develped a mdel f Nrth Africa’s Sahara Desert t find ut hw wind turbines and slar farms might change the desert’s climate.
The team ran its mdel several times. In ne run, it assumed that peple wuld set up wind farms nly. Anther run assumed peple wuld set up just slar farms. A third assumed peple wuld build bth. They wuld affect the desert’s weather with temperature and average daily rain increased — but differently. Setting up a mix f slar farms and wind turbines brught abut a bigger change — nt in temperature but in rainfall. In the Sahara, having bth wind and slar farms mre than dubled the amunt f rain that fell, up t 215.4 millimetres (毫米) per day.
The mdels predicted that the average rainfall wuld increase ver time, as mre plants grew. Plants mve water frm the grund t the air. Warmer air can carry mre water. S as this air rises, it can carry mre water up t becme cluds. Thse cluds can release rain, relieving the thirst f plants belw. Over time, this prcess repeats itself ver and ver. This psitive feedback can greatly increase rains.
“Such rainfall changes culd lead t better agriculture,” says Safa. “Mre rain als wuld help wild plants grw. We believe that the cuntries in the Sahara shuld seriusly cnsider investing in wind and slar pwer,” he added.
32．What is the new finding f the research?
A．Deserts will be suitable fr farming. B．It csts much t get deserts greener.
C．Renewable energy can green a desert. D．Clean energy helps plants grw better.
33．What discuraged experts frm building energy farms?
A．High cnstructin expenses. B．A lack f suitable test sites.
C．Shrtage f manpwer. D．Terrible climate.
34．What may Safa advise the cuntries in the Sahara t d?
A．Build mre farms t grw crps. B．Save mre water fr agriculture.
C．Invest in wind and slar pwer. D．Cnsider mving t ther places.
35．What was the advantage f the 3rd run?
A．Greatly raising rainfall in the desert. B．Increasing temperature largely.
C．Dubling glbal rainfall per day. D．Saving mre energy with less cst.
