一、阅读理解（共 40 分）

Videos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China,

particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. We Chat’s 1.08 billion

monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7

times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data.

Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest

whereabouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying

4.8 times in the past 4 years.

As a one-stop solution for Chinese people’s daily lives, We Chat has been able to

produce a breakdown of its users’ preferences by age group. Those born in the 1980s for

example are followers of news related to state and public affairs, whereas those younger than

20 spend the most on sweet treats.

In line with previous findings, China’s elderly population are becoming adept at using

WeChat as a means of communication and conducting errands ( 办差事). As of September

2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an

average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. We Chat Wallet has also

registered exponential ( 指数的 ) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-

speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately. Spending in retail stores and dining via

WeChat rose by 1.5 times and 1.7 times. The number of users who use the app for making

medical appointments and paying bills almost tripled.

1．Which of the following is closer to the truth according to the passage?

A．The number of videos posted has declined in the past 4 years.

B．The users’ preferences for WeChat can be various by age group.

C．Downloading videos on WeChat Moments is widely banned officially.

D．The number of users’ spending in retail stores and dining via WeChat will be doubled.

2．From what column on a certain website is the above passage most probably taken?

A．VIDEOS B．ADVERTISING

C．BUSINESS D．CAREER DEVELOPMENT

3．What does the underlined word “adept” in the last paragraph roughly mean?

A．disappointed B．inexperienced

C．surprised D．skilled

4．What is the passage mainly concerned about accordingly?

A．Video use continues to rise sharply on WeChat.

B．WeChat video calls are more frequently used by those younger than 20.

C．The post-80s are more likely fond of public affairs as well as sweet treats.

D．Making medical appointments and payments on We Chat will be more convenient.

I thought we all knew why independent school students do better than those in the state

sector(公立学校). They have more money, more funding and better resources and they don’t

have the more challenging students we get in the state sector.

That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college,

aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London

Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the country’s top private schools, like

Eton and St Paul’s, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the

knowledge-rich learning that characterizes independent schools into the state sector.

Before the project, I hadn’t had much contact with people who had been educated there.

But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent

sector, they have challenges too—just different ones.

After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings.

One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits

outside the classroom. I realized that although I was always telling students that they needed

to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didn’t have a clear idea of what this

could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading

articles, doing activities and completing examination questions.

I started to put much more emphasis on activities outside the classroom, like researching

topics beyond the syllabus(教学大纲) or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone

who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a

question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging up the fact that they hadn’t understood

something.

My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and

tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the research—they

want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire on

independent learning. One wrote, “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other

students. It helps you to think for yourself.”

5．What did the author say about independent school students before her research?

A．They were troublemakers.

B．They enjoyed excellent learning conditions.

C．They performed worse than state school students.

D．They faced the same challenges as state school students.

6．Why did the author join the project?

A．To introduce good learning methods to state schools.

B．To exchange teaching ideas with other teachers.

C．To partner with other schools in education.

D．To find enough funds for state schools.

7．What changes did the author make in her classes?

A．She focused on group learning. B．She worked out a different syllabus.

C．She encouraged independent learning. D．She carried out various activities in

class.

8．How is the author’s research going?
