20、Le Val de Cantobre. C. Four Seasons Tented Camp. D. Playa Montroig Camping Resort. B Dean felt his arms and legs were burning. With each breath, Dean wondered if he should be done, but as he touched the wall at the end of the pool he turned for another lap (圈). “I can do one more. This is for Kevin,
21、” Dean told himself. He was starting his seventh lap. Dean and the other members of his swim team were swimming to raise money for Deans best friend, Kevin Hawking. Earlier in the year, Kevin fell ill. He needed expensive medical care that his family couldnt afford. After Kevins friends learned what
22、 was happening, they started brainstorming ways to help. Several of Kevins friends were on the swim team, which led to the idea of swimming. For a month, Dean and the other swim team members had asked for pledges (承诺)from anyone who would help: family members, friends, and neighbours. Most people pl
23、edged a dollar or two each lap. Deans grandmother said she would offer $ 10 for each lap Dean swam! Finally, as Dean completed his tenth lap, he knew he was too tired to keep going. If I try another lap. Ill end up lying in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to come and get me, he thought.
24、Dean pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and sat breathing quickly for a couple of minutes, quietly resting before he tried to stand.

27、han before D. Dean tried as hard as he could C Art and science may seem like polar opposites. One involves the creative ideas? and the other cold? hard numbers or some people believe so. In fact, both require a lot of creativity. People also use both to better understand the world around us. Now? a
28、study finds art also can help students remember better what they have learned in science class. Mariale Hardiman is an education expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Back when she was a school headmaster, she had noticed students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught w
29、hen their lessons had involved art. To test whether and how well art might really improve learning, Hardiman teamed up with other researchers and six local schools. The researchers created art-focused versions (版本)of traditional science lessons. In a traditional science classroom, students might rea
30、d aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing the information instead. Each student in the experiment had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Before and after each period of the experiment, students took tests. They took a third one 10 weeks later. This one tested how w
31、ell they still remembered what they learned two months earlier. The team also looked at each students performance in a reading test. This let them compare how art and non-art classrooms influenced students with different learning abilities. Students who read at or above their grade level did just as
32、 well in both types of classes. Those who had lower reading abilities got much more of the science if it had been taught in an art-focused class. Hardiman says some kids actually performed best in the third test months later. And classroom teachers reported “many students continued to sing the songs
33、 they learned in an art-focused class after finishing the unit. “ Students who started in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional class. “Some continued to draw o
34、r sing to help them remember information, Hardiman notes. “This suggests that the arts may help students use creative ways of learning on their own. ” Everyone benefits from the arts, Hardiman agrees. “All educators should learn how to use the arts as an instructional tool to improve learning. “ 27.
35、 Paragraph 2 mainly introduces _. A. the background of the experiment B. the researchers of the experiment C. the conclusion of the experiment D. the design of the experiment 28.

36、ilities B. the students with good reading abilities performed better in art C. the students who were good at science had better reading abilities D. art helped the students with lower reading abilities learn science better 29.

37、nal class probably because _. A. they had mastered creative ways to learn B. the art-focused class helped improve their memory C. the art-focused class taught them how to learn on their own D. they continued to sing the songs they learned in the art-focused class D Im a big fan of awful first drafts
38、 (草稿). All of my writing starts with a bad first draft with grammatical mistakes and half-finished sentences. No one else sees those drafts. I tear up (撕毁) that awful first draft and start again and thats when things start to click. Thats when sentences become complete, when ideas make sense, and wh
39、en the real work gets done. Too often, when it comes to self-improvement, we create idealized plans with unnatural rules. We suppose that we will stick to our plans. Monday might be leg day in the gym, but if your kid falls off the bike and needs stitches (缝针),your carefully made eight-week exercise
40、 plan isnt going to get a look. Every plan starts off like an awful first draft. You make stupid mistakes, things you thought were a great idea turn out to be dead ends, and at the end you just need to start again. When a plan fails, the solution (解决办法) isnt to give it up and try a new one next time
41、. Its to build on what worked, cut what didnt and start straight away on a much-improved second draft. Trying to run three miles every day while eating nothing but vegetables might be a terrible ideabut running a few days a week isnt. The benefit of an awful first draft is to use it to get everythin
42、g down on the page. It doesnt matter whether you think its good or bad, youre trying out different things to find out what works and, more importantly, what doesnt. You have to read over your first draft and make changes to write the second. The second draft is where you build on the strong points a
43、nd cut the weak ones. Sara loved running outside but hated the indoor strength training in her fitness program. How could she make changes to write the second draft? She looked back and saw which part she found fun and easy to stick with and which went wrong. By building on what worked for her, she
44、slowly developed a health plan she could stick with. If your second draft doesnt work out quite as planned, you tear it up and write a third. And, if needed, a fourth. But if you build on whats good and cut the rest, finally you will have something that works. 30. The underlined word “click“ in Para
45、graph 1 means “_“. A. to become clear B. to run out of control C. to get connected D. to get much more difficult 31. What can we learn from the passage? A.
