【题目】 From kindergarten to graduate school there is a nearly unlimited supply of learning resources (资源) for students. These resources come in a variety of forms, all serving a single purpose—to improve learning outcomes for students.
【1】Educators spend a good deal of time searching for learning resources and are in a position to be approached by educational publishers and software developers. Educators may use open source material from well-known universities like Harvard and MIT or offer learning resources from independent publishers to their students.
While there are a variety of learning resources for all education levels, early-childhood learning resources are probably the most common. A wide range of websites, software and mobile applications are aimed at children and serve as learning resources in math, reading, science, writing, etc. 【2】
Learning resources for students in high school and college are also abundant. 【3】While there may be a large number of websites and computer applications that serve as an ancillary (辅助的) resource for a given subject, a teacher may recommend a reference book, biography, or literary work as a resource relevant to the specific area of study.
Many learning resources are designed to reinforce (充实) material taught in the class or simply provide additional help for struggling students. 【4】The American Disability Act provides the requirements for educational resources for disabled students in the United States, just as the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act in the UK provides for its special needs students.

【题目】What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic ( 光 催 化 ) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.
How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria ( 细 菌 ) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans
In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.
Awards
In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.
【1】How does the self-cleaning door handle function?
A.It controls the door movement automatically.
B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.
C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.
D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.
【2】Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is ______.
A.safer and cheaperB.cleaner and easier
C.less heavy and more effectiveD.more attractive and expensive
【3】What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?
A.It has been widely used in public areas.
B.It has received recognition for its innovation.
C.It is quite competitive among similar products.
D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.

【题目】 Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884–1962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.
In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China’s southwestern provinces—the Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren’t his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).
Botany, though, was just one of Rock’s strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through China’s “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.
Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord’s place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretum’s head librarian.
In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World” , the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”
The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about $900,000 in today’s dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Rock’s service for the U.S government.
B.Rock’s cooperation with Harvard.
C.Rock’s work as a botanist.
D.Rock’s exploration in Southwest China.
【2】What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens?
A.He traveled through some uncivilized places in China.
B.His hand-drawn map was used in WWII.
C.He showed heroism by escaping difficulties.
D.He made headlines in Boston Evening News.
【3】How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds?
A.Excitedly.B.Proudly.
C.CalmlyD.Nervously.
【4】What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum?
A.The vast expense.B.The dangerous journey.
C.The challenging tasks.D.The unknown world.

【题目】 I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.
I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.
As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.
Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.
But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day-even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.
【1】Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Humorous.B.Interesting.
C.Selfless.D.Considerate.
【2】Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day?
A.He wanted to confirm his beliefs.B.The letter served as a reminder.
C.He kept adding something new to it.D.His kids asked him to check it.
【3】Which can replace the underlined word “cynical” in the last paragraph?
A.Doubtful about others’ motivations.B.Curious about everything around.
C.Worried about his future life.D.Unsatisfied about his profession.
【4】What is the author’s understanding of life?
A.Parents should care for children.B.To become a successful father.
C.To be better today than yesterday.D.Bad guys deserve to be punished.
