When the Bayside campus of Shekou International School (SIS) are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic,teaching activities at the school have been resumed online since Feb. 3rd, 2020.
The school is using popular apps and software for online learning. Video conferencing and office automation are used to helpteachers keep track of students’ conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world. Teaching online alsooffers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.
Staying in Phuket, Thailand, science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a 10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin andthe local turtle sanctuary as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade 7 students. “I want to connect our learning withthe reality. The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles’ health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be releasedinto the sea in mid-June,” says Laird.
Rebecca Wallace is a Grade 4 teacher at the school, staying in her mother’s home in New York. From 8 p.m. to midnightevery day, she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearlyaround the clock, Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes, family and even pets.Greg Smith, head of SIS, names the online teaching period a “new normal” at the school. “Students are now more skillful atusing technology than before. They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and canuse the tools to shrink distance and time.
The “new normal” will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions,” he says.According to the school, 68% of its students are staying in Shenzhen while 27% of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.

The fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars,that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime, andso some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.
London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years. In March 2016, ten London pigeons became famous. Thesepigeons took to the sky, wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution. Once in the air, the backpacks sent live air-qualityupdates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.
Another promising approach can be found in Beijing. A seven-metre-high “Smog Free Tower”, designed by a Dutch scientist,Daan Roosegaarde, opened in Beijing’s 751 D Park in September 2016. It is a huge, outdoor air purifier. Airborne particles(颗粒) are sucked into the tower and caught by a dust-removal plate. Finally, clean air is blown out of the other end.“Changing smog particles does not take much power.” Roosegaarde said.
As for what to do with the collected PM waste, he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste. PrinceCharles owns a set of “smog free” cufflinks (袖扣). If collected on at a big scale, Roosegaarde believes it could even be usedas a building material.
Mexico City has an alternative solution. Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building, Allison Dring, a Berlin-based architect, managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now making a building material by burning agriculturalcrop by-products in the absence of oxygen. “It means that you are actually taking carbon (碳) out of the sky, transforming it intoa material, and then using it to build,” says Dring.
The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas take off, at least Prince Charles’ cufflinks,the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.
35. The underlined words “on the cards” in Para.1 probably mean ________.A. hardly to achieveB. widely questionedC. very likely to happenD. publicly welcomed
36. The ten pigeons in London were used to ________.A. monitor air pollutionB. warn LondonersC. update weather forecastD. promote backpacks
37. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower?A. It can catch light and wind.B. Its power consumption is high.C. PM waste from it can be reused.D. It is the first air purifier in the world.38. What’s the best title for the passage?A. When can humans get rid of smog?B. Why is technology used to fight smog?C. How are the world’s cities fighting smog?D. What makes smog a worldwide problem?【答案】35. C 36. A 37. C 38. C第⼆部分阅读理解（共两节，40 分）第⼀节（共15 ⼩题；每⼩题2 分，共30 分）A
