When
educators think of literacy -- the ability to read
and write -- they often place more importance on
students
’
abilities to read and fully understand a piece of
writing.
But
experts
say
critical
and
creative
writing
skills
are
equally
important.
And,
they
say,
they
(21)
_______
(overlook) too often in the classroom.
Compared to reading, writing is (22)
_______ (active). It helps students be independent
thinkers, take
ownership of their
stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to
others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl.
She
heads the National Writing Project, (23) _______
offers help for teachers who want to push students
to
write more.
Elyse said,
“
I have to say (24) _______
we want an education system just (25) _______
(focus) on
making people consumers and
not on helping them be producers, this emphasis on
reading only -- which
does happen in so
many places -- is very short-
sighted.
”
She
said
students
’
writing
work
now
usually
centers
on
examining
a
text,
(26)
_______
_______
presenting a new idea. Writing, she
said, should be
“
the central
thing you
’
re learning. Not
writing on a test,
not writing to
demonstrate you
’
re learning
(27) _______ someone has taught
you....

Teaching reading together with writing
improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall,
who heads
a New York City writing
center, Writopia Lab.
She said writing
affects a person
’
s ability
to read and more than 90 percent of young people
in the
Writopia
program
do
not
trust
their
writing
abilities
(28)
_______
they
start.
But
she
said
they
learn
to
enjoy the writing process
and become more effective readers, too.
Elyse said employers today seek workers
“
all the
time
”
who can write well.
Digital tools increasingly
mean that
people are
“
(29)
_______(interact) with the internet through
writing,
”
she said.
Young people are already writing all
the time -- through text messages, emails and on
social media.
Elyse believes every
young person today is a writer if they are
connected to the internet. So, she added,
“
we have to help them do it
in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial
way.
”
Rebecca
argues
that
writing
also
helps
students
work
through
difficulties
they
face
in
life
“
subconsciously
”
.
“
They
’
re not writing a
story about a difficult father or directly about a
bully in class, (30) _______

scenario
(
电影剧本
)
that might feel distant enough for them
to go deep into it.

Fill in each blank with the word or
phrase that best fits the context.
A trending new addition to travel
destinations around the world is freezing-yet-
beautiful Alaska. The
poles, the
dancing lights, and the winter wonderlands have
always attracted extreme travelers --- but this
time, there is more than the magical
draw of the (41)_______ that is inviting people up
towards the corners
of the globe:
climate change.
There
’
s a strange
form of climate anxiety, which is driving more
people to places and sights that may

exist
in
the
coming
years
or

Alaska

Around the

female bears
denning
（筑巢）
on land

ice. And seasons of tourism
match up
with changing bear behavior. It peaks in autumn
(which
is
also
far

and
breezier

the
forthcoming
winter
-
and
climate
change
is
making
things more pleasant
in general) when sea ice is far from the shore,
and bears can become (49) _______ on

Section
B
Directions:
Read the
following three passages. Each passage is followed
by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are
four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one
that fits best
according to the
information given in the passage you have just
read.
A
The semi-finals for
the
League of Legends
(LOL)
World Championship 2020 ended on Sunday with
Chinese team Suning finally defeating
another Chinese team Top Esports to earn a ticket
to the final against
Damwon Gaming from
South Korea. The result has captured the attention
of Chinese netizens, showing the
huge
influence of esports in China.
Several
hashtags
（推文话题）
such as
“
LOL
Worlds semi-finals
”
and
“
Suning gets to the
final
”
have
earned more than a billion views on
China
’
s Twitter-like Sina
Weibo as of Monday.
Top Esports
was
one
of
favorites
to
win
in
the
semi-
finals,
while
Suning
was
commonly
seen
as
a
loser, but
the latter finally broke through to win 3-1.
After
the
game,
one
member
of
the
defeated
team,
Karsa,
shed
tears
at
the
event,
which
quickly
became a hot topic
on Sina Weibo.
In a message posted to
Sina Weibo after the competition, Top Esports said
that they regret not making
it to the
final and that they felt sorry for their fans,
“
but our pursuit of victory
will never stop. We will carry
on with
this regret.
”
Instead of blaming them for their
failure, most netizens encouraged them to try
again in 2021.
While many media outlets
are calling Suning
’
s win a
surprise, but a commentator for an esports team
based in Shanghai surnamed Zhang told
the Global Times on Monday that the result is not
surprising.
“
After Top
Esports barely defeated Fnatic with a 3-2 score, I
felt that the entire team, except for Karsa,
performed
worse
than
before.
The
middle
lane
and
bottom
lane
of
the
team
were
off
line
when
playing
against Suning and
did not play to their usual
level,
”
Zhang said.
He
praised
Suning,
saying
their
skills
were
improving,
“
but
the
team
still
has
a
gap
with
Damwon
