【参考范文】
In recent years,using PPT is becoming increasingly prevalent among teachers while having classes.PPT can present knowledge in a clearer way, which will be more convenient for students to digest.And for teachers, PPT also rescues them from writing on the blackboard,which is sometimes a heavy work.Besides,PPT can be saved and copied for students to review after class.
But for people who prefer the traditional class,they think PPT can never replace the blackboard.As whe
n having class with PPT,students have less time taking notes.Meanwhile,some teachers say preparing PPT is very time-consuming and not efficient at all.
From what has been discussed above,PPT does have strengths and weaknesses.But I believe it brings so much convenience for us that we can ignore the few weakness it has.And when using it,we can still take the blackboard as an aid so as to present the class in the best way.【审题构思】

【全文翻译】
从最便宜的航空公司到世界上最大的航空公司，我们可以看出：世界各地的航空公司都在他们的机舱座位上融入了各种深浅不一的蓝，这并非巧合。这种做法的背后好像涉及到了心理学原因。蓝与信任、效率、安静、冷静、反思和镇定等积极品质有着密不可分的联系。
奈杰尔·古德是一家公司的首席航空设计师，他所在的公司为航空公司提供飞机内饰设计长达30年之久。他说：“作为设计师，我们的工作就是强化航空公司的品牌，使得它更容易被认出来。但我们首要关心的还是为机舱设计的内部配置能最大程度地带给人舒适感，以创造一个令人愉快的环境。
“我们所做的工作就是为了让飞行体验不那么紧张，据说蓝可以让人产生一种平静的感觉。虽然有些廉价航空公司可能会使用更明亮、更大胆的蓝，但大多数其他航空公司会使用柔和的调。航空公司的主要目的是营造一种家庭般让人放松的感觉，因此航空公司倾向于使用柔和的调，给人一种像家的、自然朴实的感觉。”
这也是几十年来的一种趋势，只不过保留到现在。蓝成为首选的原因是它是一种传统的、令人愉快的且符合公司文化的颜，象征着值得信赖和安全。奈杰尔·古德补充道：“这就是你会看到像英国航空公司这样的老牌航空公司都在用蓝的原因。”

2.Section B
Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.
Why Are Asian Americans Missing from Our Textbooks?
A)I still remember my fourth-grade social studies project.Our class was studying the Gold Rush,something all California fourth-graders learned.I was excited because I had asked to research Chinese immigrants during that era.Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area,I had always known that“San Francisco”translated to“Gold Mountain”in Chinese. The name had stuck ever since Chinese immigrants arrived on the shores of Northern California in the1850s,eager to try their luck in the gold mines.Now I’d have the chance to learn about them.
B)My excitement was short-lived.I remember heading to the library with my class and asking for help.
I remember the librarian’s hesitation. She finally led me past row after row of books,to a corner of the library where she pulled an oversized book off the shelf.She checked the index and turned over to a page about early Chinese immigrants in California. That was all there was in my entire school library in San Francisco,home of the nation’s first Chinatown.That was it.
C)I finally had the opportunity to learn about Asian Americans like myself,and how we became part of the fabric of the United States when I took an introductory class on Asian-American history in college.The class was a revelation.I realized how much had been missing in my textbooks as I grew up.My identity had been shaped by years of never reading,seeing,hearing,or learning about people who had a similar background as me.Why,I wondered,weren’t the stories,histories,and contributions of Asian Americans taught in K-12schools,especially in the elementary schools?Why are they still not taught?
D)Our students—Asian,Latino,African American,Native American, and,yes,white—stand to gain from a multicultural curriculum.Students of color are more engaged and earn better grades when they see themselves in their studies.Research has also found that white students benefit by being challenged and exposed to new perspectives.
护师报名条件E)For decades,activists have called for schools to offer anti-racism or multicultural curricula.Yet a traditional American K-12curriculum continues to be taught from a Eurocentric point of view.Being multicultural often falls back on weaving children of color into photographs,or creating a few supporting characters that happen to be ethnic—an improvement,but superficial nonetheless.Elementary school classrooms celebrate cultural holidays—Lunar New Year!Red envelopes! Lion dancers!—but they’re quick to gloss over（掩饰）the challenges and injustices that Asian Americans have faced.Most students don’t,for example,learn about the laws that for years excluded Asians from immigrating to the U.S.They don’t hear the narratives of how and why Southeast Asian refugees had to rebuild their lives here.
F)Research into what students learn in school has found just how much is missing in their studies.In an analysis,Christine Sleeter,a
