Part II 提高部分
一、阅读理解
When school closes, poor pupils lose the last social institution—one that educates, feeds, and sometimes clothes them—whereas richer pupils are gaining relatively more advantages. Disruptions to schooling tend to lower achievements while increasing inequality.
A new industry of "Learning Pods", where a group of families pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, is deepening that inequality. Scoot Education, whose normal business is providing substitute teachers for schools, quickly developed a sideline in learning pods in California. For younger pupils, the total cost of a pod, shared among all parents, is $349 a day, which is beyond what a poor family can afford. "Rich families can always find a way to educate their children, even if COVID-19 pandemic had not started," says Sarah Cohodes, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University.
Thus, if there would be no extraordinary interventions in the closing of schools, the long-term effects on those poor students are predictable.
A team of five education scholars recently calculated that American schoolchildren in 2020 learnt 30% less reading and 50% less maths than they would in a typical year. Despite that, the top third of pupils posted gains in reading. Data from Opportunity Insights, an economic-research team at Harvard University, shows that after lockdowns began in March pupils from low-income neighbourhoods fell permanently behind on online maths coursework, while those from richer areas quickly rebounded.
Then there is the problem of access to online classes. Nearly half of native American pupils and 35% of black and Hispanic ones do not have access to either a computer or the Internet at home, compared with 19% of whites. Worsening mental health among poorer families will also hurt achievements. Elizabeth Ananat of Barnard College and Anna Gassman-Pines of Duke University surveyed part-time workers in Philadelphia who had young children; half were showing their anxiety or depression for children's schooling.
1.What do we know about Learning Pods
A.It was started as the key business by Scoot Education.
B.Families can afford this teaching model with $349 a day.
C.It is a long-existing method to find an in-person tutor.
D.It worsens educational inequality to some extent.
2.What does the underlined word "rebounded" in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Learned maths in advance. B.Performed poorly in maths.
C.Regained improvement in maths. D.Showed permanent love to maths.
3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A.Effects of educational inequality. B.Psychological problems of the pupils.
C.Opportunities to use online resources. D.Low academic achievement of the poor.
4.Where is the text probably selected from
A.A health magazine. B.An educational report.
C.A science textbook. D.A learning guide.

5、答案
Dear friends,
In a gesture to observe the World Book Day, which falls on the April 23rd, our school hereby launched various activities.
A variety of books were on show on the playground in order of letters, which is convenient for us to look through. Some students who had been reading many books shared their wonderful experience about reading classic books at the class meetings. In addition, in the lecture hall an inspiring speech on reading original books was given by a professor from a local university.
As for me, not only did I benefit a lot from these activities, but I got to know the importance of reading. Good books are treasures of good words, golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Thank you for listening.
