Hotter, less dense air rises (just like the hot red water) while colder, more dense air sinks (like the cold blue water). The w

Ive never been to this side of the world before and I had some strange expectations when I could only see fields and no cityscape in view from my plane window during landing. Howeve
17、r, as we got closer and closer to the airport the city came into view phew (I sighed of relief as Im a real city-goer).We were greeted by my girlfriends parents and whisked away to the main city. The large amount of greenery in Calgarys city makes it a completely different city to visit and I advise
18、 if anybody is around this side of the world, its surely an interesting visit.Despite all the things weve done here, the thing that blew me away the most was the Canadian woodlands and mountains just a few hours outside of Calgary. The highlight(精彩) for me was risking travelling to the small town of
19、 Fernie and hiking into the woods up to a small waterfall where the water was so clear we could just drink straight from the stream.

23、dents and their parents across the country have seen some changes since the new school year started on September 1.Students have less homework, and their parents no longer need to correct the homework of their children. At the same time, the number of after-school tutoring institutions for primary a
24、nd junior-high school students is reducing. These changes are the result of national guidelines to ease the burden(负担)of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students during the nine years of compulsory education(义务教育). Known as the double reduction policy(双减政策), the guidelines were issued
25、 at the end of July, and took effect this semester.The policy is an important step in Chinas boosting of more well-rounded educational practices. In addition to providing compulsory education, China is also working to develop an education system that enables young people to create a moral, intellect
26、ual, physical and mental grounding. Chinas education system had become increasingly exam-oriented(应试教育)in recent decades due to the desire of achieving high scores in high school and the college entrance examinations. In addition, the extracurricular tutoring companies, most of which privately funde
27、d, were producing social anxiety in the name of creating a better future for children. Each of these factors contributed to an excessive burden on primary and junior-high school students, and made education a results-oriented tool serving short-term interests, endangering the entire education system
28、 and even the mental health of the future generations.The policy of easing study burden aims to help education recover its essential purpose with schooling as the cornerstone of the system, social education as the supplement and family education as the foundation, so as to better educate high-calibe
29、r talents for the country.The policy may bring back well-rounded education; however, the motivation to receive and offer exam-oriented learning will last as long as exam scores remain the standard for entry to high schools and colleges. There is still a long way to go for China to change from exam-o
30、riented to well-rounded education.28. What change has taken place since this September?A. Students have no homework. B. Parents have to correct homework.C. After-school tutoring institutions disappear. D. The burden of students becomes less.29. What is well-rounded education?A. An education to devel
31、op students in many ways.B. An education to encourage students to achieve high scores.C. An education to train students to deal with exams.D. An education to put young students health in danger.30. What is the authors writing purpose?A. To welcome the new policy. B. To introduce the new policy.C. To
32、 question the new policy. D. To support the new policy.31. Where can the text be found?A. In a text book. B. In a novel. C. In an education magazine. D. In a diary.DWhen comparing U.S. and Chinese schools, despite(尽管)many differences, one finds a number of unexpected similarities.Students in both co
33、untries, in some ways, have much in common. This includes their experiences with popular culture like technology and social media, mutual care for the environment, and the fact that all were terribly influenced by COVID-19.Students in both countries belong to what might be described as a TikTok cult
34、ure, although this Chinese app is likely more popular in the U.S. than in China itself. The Chinese term kuaicanshi yule, which means fast-food type entertainment, is the better expression, one that conveys snackable content for often meme-oriented, fast moving fashion that compete for short attenti
35、on spans. Whatever the app or device, students have been much influenced by technology, positively and negatively. In fact, Chinese students do face more controls from their schools about their use of social media, although many are good at finding ways to avoid them.Furthermore, many students in bo
36、th countries are attracted to similar styles, in both fashion and food, in music and film, with Chinese and American students often being similarly up-to-date on the latest hits, including television series.Finally, what both have most in common is the strong wish to live a good life, be successful
37、and secure. The U.S. and China approach these wishes in different ways educationally, but both could learn from each other. This is especially true given the fact that we all live in an increasingly globalized world, and must learn to work together to solve not only global problems like climate chan
38、ge and disease outbreaks, but unfortunate frictions between the U.S. and China. Indeed, with the last point in mind, a significant weakness in the educational systems of both countries is that neither really understands the other. This is not a new problem, but solving it needs serious attention.32.
39、 What can we learn about the students in the U.S. and China from Paragraph 2?A. They show no interest in traditional culture.B. They have chances to experience social media.C. They are satisfied with their living environment.D. They were hardly influenced by COVID-19.33. What do Chinese students fac
40、e about using social media in school?A. Rules to control. B. Supports from parents.C. Agreement from schools. D. Risk to leave.34. What do U.S. and Chinese students have in common?A. Schools stop them from using social media.B. They have little interest in television series.C. They achieve their wis
41、hes educationally similarly.D. They cant fully understand each other educationally.35. Which of the following can be the best title?A. U.S. and Chinese SchoolsB. U.S. and Chinese StudentsC.
