Missing Textbooks?

are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

Id entify the paragraph from which the more than once. is marked with a A) I still remember my fourth-grade social studies project. Our class was study ing the Gold Rush,

something all California fourth-graders learned. I was excited be c ause I had asked to research Chinese immigrants during that era. Growing up in the Sa n Francisco Bay Area, I had alway s known that "San Francisco" translated to "Gold Mountain " Chinese. The name had stuck ever since Chinese immigrants arrived on the shores of Northern California in the 1850s, eager to try their luck in the gold mines. Now l'd have the chance to learn about them.

B) My excitement was short-lived. I remember heading to the library with my class and asking for help.

I remember the librarian's hesitation. She finally led me past row after row of books, to a corner of the library where she pulled an oversized book off the shelf. Sh e checked the index and turned over to a page about early Chinese immigrants in California. That was all there was in my entire school library in San Francisco, home of the nation's first Chinatown. That was it.

C) I finally had the opportunity to learn about Asian Ame ricans like my self, and how we became part of

the fabric of the United State s when I took an introductory class on Asian-Ame r ican history in college. The class was a revelation. I realized how much had been missing in my textbooks as I grew up. My identity had been shaped by y ears of never reading, seeing, hearing, or learning about people who had a similar background as me. Why , I wondered, weren't the stories, histories, and contributions of Asian Ame r icans taught in K-12 schools, especially in the elementary schools? Why are they still not taught?

D) Our students Asian, Latino, African Ame r ican, Native Ame r ican, and, y es, white stand to gain

from a multicultural curriculum. Stude n ts of color are more engaged and earn be t te r grades when they see themselves in their studies. Research has also found that white students benefit by being challenged and exposed to new perspectives.

E) For decades, activists have called for schools to offer anti-racism or multicultural curricula. Yet a

traditional Ame r ican K-12curriculum continues to be taught from a Eurocentric point of view. Being

multicultural often falls back on weaving children of color into photographs, or creating a few supporting characters that happen to be ethnic an improvement, but superficial nonetheless. Elementary school classrooms celebrate cultural holiday s Lunar New Year l Red envelopesl Lion dancers! but they 're quic k to gloss over (掩饰） the challenges and injustices that Asian Ame r icans have faced. Most students don't, for example, learn about the laws that for y ears excluded Asians from immigrating to the U.S. They don't hear the narratives of how and why Southe a st Asian refugees （难民） had to rebuild their lives here.

F) Research into what students learn in school has found just how much is missing in their studies. In an

analy sis, Christine Sleeter, a professor in the College of Professional Studie s at California State University , Monterey Bay , reviewed California's history and social studies framework, the curriculum determined by state educators that influences what is taught in K-12 classrooms. Of the nearly 100 Ame r icans recommended to be studied, 77% were white, 18% African Ame r ican, 4% Native Ame r ican, and 1% Latino. None were Asian Ame r ican.

G) Worse, when Asian Ame r icans do make an appearance in lesson books, it is often laced with

problems. "There hasn't been much progress," say s Nicholas Hartlep, an assistant professor at Metropolitan State University . His 2016 study of K-12 social studies textbooks and teacher manuals found that Asian Ame r icans were poorly represented at best, and subjected to racist caricatures (拙劣

的模仿）at worst. The wide diversity of Asian Americans was overlooked; there was very little mention of South Asians or Pacific Islanders, for example. And chances were, in the images, Asian Americans appeared in (模式化的）roles, such as engineers.

H) Teachers with a multicultural background or training could perhaps overcome such curriculum

challenges, but they're few and far between. In California, 65% of K-12 teachers are white, compared with a student population that is 75% students of color. Nationwide, the gap is even greater. It isn't a requirement that teachers share the same racial or ethnic background as their students, but the imbalance poses challenges, from the potential for unconscious bias to a lack of knowledge or comfort in discussing race and culture.

I) How race and ethnicity is taught is crucial, says Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, an Asian-American

studies professor at San Francisco State University. She added that it's not so much about the teacher's background, but about training. "You can have a great curriculum but if you don't have teachers dedicated (专注于）to teaching it well," she says, "it won't work as well as you want it to."

J) Some teachers are finding ways to expose students to Asian-American issues if not during school hours, then outside of them. This summer, Wilson Wong will lead a class of rising fifth-graders at a day camp dedicated to Chinese culture and the Chinese-American community in Oakland, California.

His students, for instance, will learn about how Chinese immigrants built the railroads in California, and even have a chance to "experience" it themselves: They will race each other to build a railroad model on the playground, with some students being forced to "work" longer and faster and at cheaper wages. Wong, a middle school teacher during the school year, hopes he's exposing the students to how Chinese Americans contributed to the U.S., something that he didn't get as a student growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. "I planted the seeds early," he says. "That's what I'm hoping for."

K) And, despite setbacks, the tide may finally be turning. California legislators passed a bill last year that will bring ethnic studies to all its public high schools. Some school districts, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, already offer ethnic studies at its high schools. High schools in Portland, Chicago, and elsewhere have either implemented or will soon introduce ethnic studies classes. And, as more high schools begin teaching it, the door could crack open for middle schools, and, perhaps inevitably, elementary schools, to incorporate a truly more multicultural curriculum. Doing so will send an important message to the nation's youngest citizens: Whatever your race or ethnicity, you matter.

Your history matters. Your story matters.

36. While cultural holidays are celebrated, the injustices experienced by Asian Americans are not exposed

in elementary school classrooms.

37. Little information can be found about Chinese immigrants in the author's school library.

38. A middle school teacher is making a great effort to help students learn about the contributions made by

Chinese immigrants to America.

39. No Asian Americans were included in the list of historical figures recommended study in K-12

classrooms.

40. There 1s an obvious lack of teachers with a multicultural perspective to meet the curriculum challenges

in America.

41 . Students of ethnic backgrounds learn better from a multicultural curriculum.

42. Now more and more high schools in America are including ethnic studies in their curriculums.

43. A study of some K-12 textbooks and teacher manuals showed that Asian Americans were inadequately

and improperly represented in them.

44. When taking a class in college, the author realized that a lot of information about Asian Americans

was left out of the textbooks he studied.

45. An Asian-American studies professor placed greater emphasis on teacher training than on teachers'

background.

Section C

Directions: ere are 2 in this section. is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. each of them there are four choices markedA) , B) , C) andD ) . should decide on the

best choice and mark the Passage

Questions 46 to 50 are letter on An s wer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

on the passage.

When is cleaning walls a crime? When y ou're doing it to create art, obviously . A numbe r of street artists around the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse

（涂鸦） . They find dirty surfaces and paint them with images or messages using cleaning brushes o pressure hoses (高压水管） . Either way , it's the same principle: the image is made by cleaning away the dirt. Each artist has their own individual sty le but all artists share a common aim: to draw attention to the pollution in our cities. The UK's Paul Curtis, better known as Moose, operates around Leeds and London and has been commissioned by a n u mbe r of companies to make reverse graffiti advertisements.

Brazilian artist, Alexandre Orion, turned one of Sa o Paulo's transport tunnels into an amazing wall painting in 2006 by getting rid of the dirt. Made up of a series of white skulls (颅骨），the painting reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet. "Every motorist sits in the comfort of their car, but they don't give any consideration to the price their comfort has for the environment and consequently for themselves," say s Orion.

The anti-pollution message of the reverse graffiti artists confuses city authorities since the main argument against graffiti is that it spoils the appearance of both ty pe s of property : public and private. This was what Leeds City Counc i l said about Moose's work: "Leeds residents want to live in clean and attractive neighbourhoods. We view this kind of advertising as environmental damage and will take strong action against it." Moose was ordered to "clean up his act." How was he supposed to do this: by making all property he had cleaned dirty again?

A s for the Brazilian artist's work, the authorities were annoy ed but c o uld find nothing to charge him with. They had no other option but to clean the tunnel but only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned. The artist merely continued his campaign on the other side. The city officials then decided to take drastic action. They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but every tunnel in Sao Paulo.

46. What do we learn from the passage about reverse graffiti?

A) It use s paint to create anti-pollution images.

B) It creates a lot of trouble for local residents.

47. What do reverse graffiti artists try to do?

A) Publicise their artistic pursuit. C) It causes lots of distraction to drivers.

D) It turns dirty walls into artistic works.

B) Beautify the city environment.

C) Raise public awareness of environmental pollution.

D) Express their dissatisfaction with local governments.

48. What do we learn about Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion?

A) He was good at painting white skulls.

B) He chose tunnels to do his graffiti art. C) He suggested banning all polluting cars.

D) He was fond of doing creative artworks.

49. What does the author imply about Leeds City Council's decision?

A) It is simply absurd.

B) It is well-informed. C) It is rather unexpected.

D) It is quite sensible.

50. How did Sa o Paulo city officials handle Alexandre Orion's reverse graffiti?

A) They made him clean all the tunnels in Sao Paulo.

B) They took drastic action to ban all reverse graffiti.

C) They charged him with polluting tunnels in the city .

D) They made it impossible for him to practice his art.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are b on the passage.

The practice of pay ing children an allowance became popular in America about 100 y ears ago. Nowaday s, American kids on average receive about $ 800 pe r y ear in allowance. But the vast majority of

American parents who pay allowance tie it to the completion of housework. Although many parents believe that paying an allowance for completing chores benefits their children, a range of experts expressed concern that tying allowance very closely to chores may not be ideal. In fact, the way chores work in many households worldwide points to another way.

Suniya Luthar, a psychologist, is against paying kids for chores. Luthar is not opposed to giving allowances, but she thinks it's important to establish that chores are done not because they will lead to payment, but because they keep the household running. Luthar's suggested approach to allowance is compatible with that of writer Ron Lieber, who advises that allowances be used as a means of showing children how to save, give, and spend on things they care about. Kids should do chores, he writes, "for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of " compensat10n.

This argument has its critics, but considering the way chores are undertaken around the world may change people's thinking. Professor David Lancy of Utah State University has studied how families around the world handle chores. At about 1 8 months of age, Lancy says, most children become eager to help their parents, and in many cultures, they begin helping with housework at that age. They begin with very simple tasks, but their responsibilities gradually increase. And they do these tasks without payment. Lancy contrasts this with what happens in America. "We deny our children's bids to help until they are 6 or 7 years old," Lancy says, "when many have lost the desire to help and then try motivate them with payment. The solution to this problem is not to try to use money as an incentive to do housework, but to 51 . What do some experts think about paying children for doing chores?

A) It may benefit children in more ways than one.

B) It may help children learn the worth of labor.

C) It may not turn out to be the best thing to do.

D) It may not be accepted by low-income parents.

52. According to Suniya Luthar, doing chores will help children learn to

. A) share family responsibilities

B) appreciate the value of work

C) cultivate the spm t of independence D) manage domestic affairs themselves 53. What does Ron Lieber think should be the goal of giving children allowances?

A) To help to strengthen family ties. B) To teach them how to manage money.

54. What does David Lancy say about 1 8-month-olds?

C) To motivate them to do more housework.

D) To show parents' appreciation of their help. A) They have a natural instinct to help around the house.

B) C) They should learn to understand family responsibilities.

D) They need a little incentive to get involved in housework.

55. What does David Lancy advise American parents to do?

A) Set a good example for children in doing housework.

B) Make children do housework without compensation.

C) Teach children how to do housework.

D) Accept children's early bids to help.

I think we'd better hold a cautious attitude towards the use of PPT in class。 【3】 On the one hand, well-designed PPT slides can definitely enhance teaching efficiency because all the knowledge has been prepared beforehand and teachers don’t need to spend time writing on the blackboard. 【4】 What's more, many delicately designed PPT slides are quite attractive to students. 【5】 On the other hand,we have to admit there are some potential problems with the overuse of PPT in class. 【6】 For example, many teachers don't know how to teach without PPT because of their heavy reliance on PPT.【7】 In addition, there is a possibility that some students are distracted by the decorations or animation of PPT slides, which leads to lower learning efficiency. 【8】In brief, teachers are supposed to take both the teaching efficiency and students' learning outcome into consideration, and make a good balance between them. 【9】 After all, all the use of PPT should respect the educational principles and students' real,needs. 精彩点评 【1】严格按照题目要求中给出的提示语开篇点题。 【2】使用However话锋一转，引出自已的观点。 【3】【5】分别使用On the one hand和On the other hand从正反两个方面对在课堂上使用PPT的优势和存在的问题进行论证,支撑作者所持的谨慎态度。 【4】使用 What’s more补充分论点,进一步说明在课堂上使用PPT的好处。 【6】使用 For example进行举例论证,使文章有理有据。 【7】使用In addition补充分论点,说明使用PPT对学生可能造成的影响。 【8】使用In brief引出结论,总结全文。 【9】使用After all深化主题：PPT的使用应该顾及教育规律和学生需求。 第1段引出话题,表明立场：PPT在课堂上的使用越来越普遍,但是我们应该对其持谨慎态度。 第2段从正反两方面论证课堂中使用PPT的优势以及过度使用可能存在的问题。一方面,精心准备的PPT可以提高教学效率,对学生也充满吸引力；另一方面,在课堂上过度使用PPT 有潜在危害：教师过度依赖PPT,学生的注意力被PPT上的无关信息分散。 第3段得出结论并升华主题：教师需要综合考虑教学效率和学生学习效果，使教学技术
