1 . 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone knows that fish is good for health.    1    But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.    2    This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.    3    Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.    4    When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish.    5    First, lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.

A．Do not buy it.

B．The easiest is to steam it.

C．This is how you can do it.

D．It just requires a little knowledge.

E．The fish will go bad within hours.

F．When buying fish, you should first smell it.

G．The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

2 . The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.     1     By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.

1. Curiosity

Your children need to be deeply curious.     2     Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?

2. Creativity

True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it.     3     There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.

3. Interpersonal Skills

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.     4     “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face? If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”

4. Self-expression

    5     There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas — music, acting, drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.

A．Encourage kids to cook with you.

B．And we can’t forget science education.

C．We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.

D．So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?

E．Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill.

F．We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories.

G．Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.

3 . In today’s world, technology is a part of daily life. In order to keep civilization hand in hand with technological advances, and to understand the connected future they will have, children in schools have to be taught technical skills. But how can teachers integrate(使……融入)technology into their classroom? Here are a couple of ways.

Teach acceptance of connected learning. In the information age, it’s only right to teach kids how to jump at connected learning.    1    For example, a tablet PC could be used in art class to draw pictures or even signs for the school.

Use a video chat system to teleconference. The idea of pen pals can be strengthened by video chat systems.    2    In this situation, children will learn how to share experiences and build new relationships from a distance. Teleconferencing is a great way to teach children about teleconferencing etiquette(礼仪).    3    

Develop a class wiki or blog. In order to help get your students active in class lessons, you can use a blog or wiki to make them comment on lessons, topics and current events. Students should also be allowed to create new posts about news or their thoughts.    4    

Create a podcast(播客)for your class. Technology is always about being seen.    5    It can also be used to be heard. With a classroom podcast, you can read passages from a textbook or a novel or schedule discussions on a certain topic that’s in line with your curriculum. This will teach broadcasting skills, speaking skills and critical thinking skills.

A．This includes using technology as a tool or a way to learn new concepts.

B．You can also upload videos to a private channel.

C．These systems can also be used to connect with students from other classroom that are far away.

D．This will show them how to solve complex math problems.

E．This is a great way to improve creative writing.

F．However, it’s wrong to think it’s only about being seen.

G．For example, you can teach children when it’s alright to connect and how to act when on camera.

4 . Your joke never works? Or, being humorous is just too hard for you? Some even think that being funny is something people are born with, not to be earned.     1    

Tell funny stories. Sometimes, the funniest thing you can do is to tell a funny story.     2     However, your audience will likely find that something that actually happened will be a little more humorous. Think of a few true funny things and tell those stories when it is proper.

Make the end funny. When you try to surprise your friends with a funny story or joke, put the surprise at the end.     3     You might say “And do you know what was in my car when I opened the door, Rebecca? A cat!” This will be funnier than saying “And, Rebecca, a cat was in my car when I opened the door!”

    4     Check out comedy clubs in your area and study the comedians. What kinds of jokes or stories worked with the audience and what didn’t? Notice what things made you laugh the most and tell similar stories and jokes in your personal life. You can also watch comedy shows online if you can’t find a local club.

Keep a journal to record funny things. Not only will this help you remember funny stories to tell later, it will also train you to look for comedic moments in your own life.     5     Every time you notice and write down something humorous, you’ll be getting more practice!

A．Go to a local comedy club.

B．Use your body language to be funny.

C．Sharing jokes is great at some point, too.

D．It might be difficult for you to make others laugh aloud.

E．Over time, this will help you have a better sense of humor.

F．However, the truth is that you can learn to be a funnier person.

G．This will make sure they don’t laugh until you’re finished with your sentence.

6 . With schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?

Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.

One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools providethisin abundance and it will most children feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”

Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”

Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.

It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine. Joe Wicks, otherwise known as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10 minute workouts for children on his Youtube channel. Ms Anderson said:” It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of football or dancing around your living room!”
