A
Two heads are better than one. It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.
There can be a number of reasons why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.
Cooperative (合作的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in completing the shared goal.
Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club’s instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person’s role.
Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor’s job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.
With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.
1、What’s the outcome if people do not enjoy group work?
A．The aim of the group can not be achieved.
B．Specific roles will be given to group members.
C．Group members will feel at ease in groups.
D．Group members will fail to work individually.
2、Why does the teacher need to know about those who take part in the activity?
A．To find out language learners with similar levels.
B．To clarify higher- and lower-level language learners.
C．To combine learners with different language levels.
D．To increase the difficulty in finishing the work.
3、Which of the following is TRUE about the role of instructors?
A．To offer group members timely help at each step.
B．To listen to the response from group members.
C．To help the English learners choose their favourite roles.
D．To make clear about the task and working principles of the roles.
4、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Two Heads Are Better than One.
B．Cooperation Is a Must in Learning.
C．Group Work Makes a Great Difference to Learners’ Achievement.
D．Cooperative Learning Contributes to the Success of Group Work.

B
The poisonous domoic (藻) acid affected Alfred Hitchcock' s "The Birds" after hundreds of them absorbed the poison in the summer of 1961 and lost their minds.
The sick birds likely consumed poisonous acid via small fish. It also tends to collect in shellfish. And, according to a study published Tuesday, it may become more common as oceans warm, threatening birds and humans alike.
Researchers have studied the rate of poisonous acid over the past 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, and found it strongly related to water temperatures that are warmer than normal.
For now, warmer waters typically comes from events like EL Nino and a decades -long climate cycle called "Pacific decadal oscillation," the study found. It isn't yet clear how climate change, which also warms the oceans, might affect the rate of the poison.
"When water's unusually warm off our coast, it's because the circulation and patterns in the atmosphere has changed, bringing warm water from elsewhere - and this is happening at the same time that we also see high poisonous acid in shellfish, " Morgaine McKibben, the study ' s lead author said.
The poison is produced during warm domoic blooms, and gets passed up the food chain by animals that eat it. Sea lions, dolphins and humans are at risk. While some animals can eventually clean themselves of the poison, the threat can last a long time after the warm water decreases.
Animals poisoned by poisonous acid tend to become weak, and experience death. Symptoms in humans include headache, confusion, loss of short - term memory, weakness and unconsciousness.
It isn't just a health risk. An Oregon State University statement notes that officials have to shut down shellfish harvests when poisonous acid levels are high, causing economic harm.
Since health officials first regarded poison acid as a health threat in 1987, Pacific Northwest shellfish harvests have been stopped in 2005, 2017, and 2018. The West Coast crab（蟹）industry took an estimated$100 million hit in 2017 alone.
1、Why did the birds lose their mind in the summer of 1961?
A．They maybe had a bad memory. B．They maybe ate poisonous fish.
C．They maybe collected the shellfish. D．They maybe drank warm water.
2、What is the connection between the rate of poisonous acid and water temperatures?
A．When atmosphere has changed, it warms off the coast.
B．When circulation comes, the oceans get warmer.
C．When climate has changed, the oceans get colder.
D．When water becomes warmer, high poisonous acid appears.
3、What result will poisonous acid cause to humans?
A．Making humans conscious. B．Making humans dead.
C．Making humans temporarily lose memory. D．Making humans suffer heart attack.
4、What's the best title of this passage?
A．High Poisonous Acid Appears in the Animals
B．The West Coast Crab Industry Suffer Great Loss
C．Climate Change Warms the Oceans in the World
D．Warmer Oceans Increase Likelihood of Poisonous Shellfish
