Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and theculture of Costa Rica.
Features include:
* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes
* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork
* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索) * Homestay with a local Costa Rican family * Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods Our Teaching Methods:
We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly
Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress. 1.What does the program do? A.It offers weekly Spanish classes B.It focuses more on outdoor activities C.It gives teachers a chance to receive training D.It provides activities about the Spanish culture
2.What is the best way to learn a language according to the text? A.Memorizing a larger vocabulary B.Speaking more in the new language. C.Mastering more grammar structures D.Writing stories to share with others 3.What is the purpose of the text? A.To employexperienced Spanish teacher B.To hire foreign volunteers for a program C.To attract teen foreigners to a program D.To introduce language learning methods

The man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans. In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.
Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).
“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.
Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.
Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.
The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”
4. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?
A. It is his greatest regret. B. It stops the progress of humans. C. It needs improving. D. It does more harm than good. 5. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?
A. It is misused for bad purposes. B. It is misunderstood by all people.
C. It blocks out a new voice in society. D. It is expensive for half the world’s population. 6. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”? A. Put technology first. B. Create materials for the web. C. Popularize the Internet. D. Make the Internet free of charge. 7. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion? A. Be responsible for it. B. Absolutely reject it. C. Completely rely on it. D. Be unconcerned about it.

As artificial intelligence(AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.
Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.
One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。Predicting disease outbreaks can save millions of lives by having resources ready should the worst happen. Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.
Another field where medical AIs are making rapid advances is in diagnostics(诊断学）Doctors base a lot of decisions on information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. Speeding up. diagnoses from patient scans can rapidly improve patient care and outcomes. Computer vision AIs use pattern recognition to work through these images with incredible speed and accuracy. They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.
Cardiologist(心脏科医生）Rima Arnaout developed an AI that beat human experts at correctly interpreting
echocardiograms(超声心动图）by 92 percent to 79 percent. She said that despite the result there is no prospect of AI replacing human doctors any time soon. “As cardiologists, weread the images and then go to see the patient,” she said. “So we're both reading images and practicing medicine. I don't think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly. ”
The acceptance of AI in medicine will continue to gather pace in the future as it becomes more widespread. 8. What played a big role in helping AI systems know of human medicine? A. Certain tasks. B. Large data. C. The skill to imitate. D. The increasing demand.
9. Why is Startup AIME mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate predicting disease is possible. B. To call on doctors to focus on public health data. C. To prove it's a successful company in global health. D. To let readers realize the importance of early success. 10. What do we know about computer vision AIs? A. They do better than doctors in some tests. B. They speed up diagnoses from patient scans. C. They can rapidly improve patients' conditions.
D. They analyze information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. 11. What do Rima Arnaout's words in paragraph 5 imply? A. AIs are not so smart as human doctors.
B It's not easy for AIs to take the place of human doctors. C. A cooperation between AIs and human doctors is a must. D. Human doctors are playing a big role in practicing medicine.

Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,\" said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of
the study.\"Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?\" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. \"This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,\" Kim said, “but it should be.” 12. What does the underlined word “implications\" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Recipes. B. Habits. C. Benefits. D. Risks. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Poor health in adolescence. B. Limitations of the previous research. C. Teens' relationships with their peers. D. Factors affecting health in adulthood. 14. What does Kim's research show?
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers. B. Good family background promises long-term adult health. C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success. D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
15. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A health magazine. B. A medical report. C. A term paper. D. A family survey. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

One of the happier memories in my childhood was made snowmen with my friends. When I was the little boy, I always go out with my friends to make snowmen. Once we played with snow when it snowed heavy. We divided ourselves into several group, two or three people in each group. Then, each group started to make their own snowman. Our group used up buttons as our snowman's eyes and carrots for its nose. Before we finished our snowman, we compared ours with others' decide which group's snowman was the best.
