C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)

Text 1

It's true that high-school coding classes aren't essential for learning computer science

in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said

Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science.

However,

Cortina

said,

early

exposure

is

beneficial.

When

younger

kids

learn

computer science, they learn that it's not just a confusing, endless string of letters and

numbers - but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It's not as hard

for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down

problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving

more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and

help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.

Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college,

where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the

less- experienced or-determined students away.

The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the

many coding bootcamps that's

become popular for adults looking

for a

career change.

The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but

try to

gear lessons toward things

they're interested in,

the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.

The students in the Flatiron class probably won't drop out of high school and build the

next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the

language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But

the skills they learn - how to think logically through a problem and organize the results -

apply

to

any

coding

language,

said

Deborah

Seehorn,

an

education

consultant

for

the

state of North Carolina.

Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of

coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by

computers-in their pockets ,in their offices, in their homes -for the rest of their lives, The

younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what

they want -the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that -the better.

a holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to _______

[A] complete future job training

[B] remodel the way of thinking

[C] formulate logical hypotheses

[D] perfect artwork production

delivering lessons for high - schoolers , Flatiron has considered their________

[A] experience

[B] interest

[C] career prospects

[D] academic backgrounds

h Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ________

[A] help students learn other computer languages

[B] have to be upgraded when new technologies come

[C] need improving when students look for jobs

[D] enable students to make big quick money

midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today,

occupying about 16% of the species 'historic range.

The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to

formally list the bird as threatened .

said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed.

They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as

federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats .But Ashe and others

argued

that

action.

and

with

the

private

landowners

who

control

an

estimated

95%

of

the

prairie chicken's habitat.

Under the

plan, for example, the agency said it would

not prosecute

landowner or

businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a

range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS

and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part

of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of

suitable

habitat .The

fund

will

also

be

used

to

compensate

landowners

who

of
