2、me time to think on it further.I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE. Let me explain.Purely giving material things to your siblings（兄弟姐妹）may appear to be the right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life, right?But the

3、 day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the worldand that

4、was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but taking away the most precious gifts of all.Invest in their future, dont just give.Use your success, wealth

5、and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to whe

6、re you are now, and where you will eventually go.Im writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you dont have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning (断绝) them off the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from e

7、verybody involved, including yourself.As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and head

8、ache, some of which remains to this day. Much love, Kobe1. What might be the best title of this letter? ATo My Younger Self BFor My Dear Family CTo My Beloved Son DFor My Older Self2.

10、nce troubled by the relationship between him and his family.BWhen she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging. But Duncan was different. N

11、ot only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel - something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. Its no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre co

12、mpany, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating - all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. Th

13、is, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,” with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to

14、 life. In her autobiography（自传）, one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasnt constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open - ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that d

15、rove her to see what she could do. Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasnt o

16、ne moment Duncan doubted her own genius. There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brillianc

17、e. 4. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean?A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream. B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles. C.

21、f online learning. The discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved classes online because of the spread of the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒）.For Asha Choksi, the rise of Internet-based or online study programs has led to major improvements in higher ed

22、ucation. “Its actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said. Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they ar

23、e far away from school. However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising（监管）online learning programs are not clear about the policies the schools have.“Students see in-class lectures

24、as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching. Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with the independent policy research group The C

25、entury Foundation. “Students need to experience.what theyre learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom. And I dont know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that.” “When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs, they often do

26、 not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the teacher leading the classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online programs as a low cos

27、t opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person classes get financial aid and online students do not. 8. What does Choksi think of the online study programs?A. They offer students more choices in study.B. They reform the countrys education system.C. They provide advanced

28、scientific knowledge.D. They promote the development of technology.9. According to most college students and professors, whats the advantage of in-person learning? A. It is convenient.B.

29、What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 4?A. change B. apply C. achieve D. control11. What is Halls attitude towards online education?A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Uncaring. D. Neutral. DRivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed

30、to support the planets ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet carbon.Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is ei

31、ther released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows

32、in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years. As carbon travels down

33、a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to

34、reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.Earths climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may

35、 have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.12. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from? A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks. C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas. 13. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show ho

36、w important to life carbon is. B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams. C. To show how a natural process is interrupted. D. To explain how humans fight global warming.14. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. Wed better move upstream to live.B. We should protect plants

37、 along rivers.C. Wed better seek more help from plants. D. We should be cautious about river management.15. What is the best title for the text?A. What Humans Do with RiversB. How Rivers Transporting Carbon CountsC. What the Carbon Cycle Means to UsD. How Living Downstream Affects the Earth第二节(共5小题；
