Skillshare is a video lesson app which has become highly popular nowadays. It will likely appeal more to older kids (age 14+) since classes focus primarily on professional development with topics like digital design, technology and marketing. There are also plenty of art and music classes for more creative learners. Read the developer’s privacy policy for details on how your kid’s information is collected, used and shared, and any choices you may have in the matter, and this privacy policy applies to all users.
What is it about
Skillshare has a large database of online lessons taught by industry experts. Kids can search for a class by topic or by entering key words. Each class contains a series of video lessons that are taught as a lecture. Some classes have only a few lessons, while others have 10 or more. In fact, one guitar class has more than 100 lessons. Many classes include projects, and most end with a brief Final Thoughts lesson to sum up the class content. There’s a review section where users can leave advice. Kids can watch the lessons within that class directly from the app. They can also save classes to watch later, and any classes they begin are automatically saved to a watch list. Many classes are offered in the free version of the app, and a paid version gives users access to a much more extensive class list—more than 28,000 lessons.
Is it any good
All the teachers in the app are passionate about their work, so it’s an excellent way to foster the same passion in your kids, as long as there is a genuine interest in the content being offered.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live m neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids cat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
29. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She grew up in a low-income family. B. She used to be a health worker.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She sets up Urban Sprouts.
30. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program

If someone created a flying machine able to track you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldn’t locate you Maybe then a human-seeking drone (无人机) wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting human screams.
The human seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.”
Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory system would need to tell human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams.
Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds.
Once the software part was completed, the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clearness of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.
Next, they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world, victim’s location date might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.
33. What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone
A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours.
C. Its quick response to screams. D. Its easy access to disaster scene.
34. What can the auditory system do
A. Recognize human cries. B. Send victim’s location data to a tablet.
C. Pick up sounds from far away. D. Improve the quality of human screams.
35. What does the underlined word “signatures” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Effects. B. Features. C. Symbols. D. Situations.
36. Up to now, engineers have successfully________.
A. developed higher frequency microphones for use on drones
B. coached Ai software to distinguish Human and natural sounds
C. rescued disaster victims by using drones to recognize human cries
D. completed outdoor experiments using drones to quickly locate victims
D
Humans’ overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying,” or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” That’s probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
37 What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors
A. They are a cause of climate change.
B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups.
D. They are affected by materialism.
38. It can be learned from Helm’s study that ________.
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
39. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being
A. Replacing older items. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Being careful with expenses.
40. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
Is there a link between social media and depression Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health It’s complicated.
In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.
___41___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___42___
There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___43___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.
___44___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.
It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___45___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.
A. It's the same with social media.
B. Social media can be a double-edged sword.
C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.
D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.
E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.
F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.
G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.

Skillshare is a video lesson app which has become highly popular nowadays. It will likely appeal more to older kids (age 14+) since classes focus primarily on professional development with topics like digital design, technology and marketing. There are also plenty of art and music classes for more creative learners. Read the developer’s privacy policy for details on how your kid’s information is collected, used and shared, and any choices you may have in the matter, and this privacy policy applies to all users.
What is it about
Skillshare has a large database of online lessons taught by industry experts. Kids can search for a class by topic or by entering key words. Each class contains a series of video lessons that are taught as a lecture. Some classes have only a few lessons, while others have 10 or more. In fact, one guitar class has more than 100 lessons. Many classes include projects, and most end with a brief Final Thoughts lesson to sum up the class content. There’s a review section where users can leave advice. Kids can watch the lessons within that class directly from the app. They can also save classes to watch later, and any classes they begin are automatically saved to a watch list.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live m neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids cat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
29. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She grew up in a low-income family. B. She used to be a health worker.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She sets up Urban Sprouts.
30. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her.
B. Some kids disliked garden work.
C. Students had little time for her classes.
D. There was no space for school gardens.
31. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Damaging
32. What can be a suitable title for the text

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.”（“他们来找我们，认为蔬菜很可怕，泥土很可怕，昆虫也很可怕。”虽然有些人一开始害怕昆虫，对泥土感到厌烦，但大多数人都渴望尝试新的东西。）可推知，项目之初一些学生不喜欢园艺工作。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.””（她补充说，该计划的好处不仅仅是营养。有些学生对园艺非常感兴趣，他们把种子带回家开始自己的菜园。此外，在花园里工作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用，他们中的许多人都有情绪控制问题。“他们走出去，”她说，“他们觉得自己很成功。”）可知，这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物，而且许多学生回家开创了自己的菜园，对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了关键作用。从而推知，该项目的影响是深远的。故选A项。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.

If someone created a flying machine able to track you down by listening for your voice, you might be terrified. But what if you were trapped in ruins after a natural disaster and first responders couldn’t locate you Maybe then a human-seeking drone (无人机) wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. That concept is the focus for engineers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE Institute, who’ve built a drone to find people by detecting human screams.
The human seeking drone would be ideal for post-disaster situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires,” said Macarena Varela, one of the lead engineers. “They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.”
Locating people by sound presents its share of challenges. An auditory system would need to tell human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind. It might also need to recognize patterns associated with kicking, clapping or other ways people try to get the attention of rescue teams.
Engineers took those situations into account when building out their concept drone. They recorded themselves screaming, tapping and creating other noises that might be a sign of people in trouble. Then, they analyzed each sound frequency to find common signatures and used those to train artificial intelligence software. They also worked to remove the noise created by the drone and other environmental sounds.
Once the software part was completed the team placed tiny digital microphones under the drone and used signal processing techniques that enabled them to track where human noises are coming from. The microphones also enhanced the volume and clearness of the speech. So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.
Next, they would like to add a higher frequency microphone to a drone to acquire more audio sound signals. The idea is to pick up noises from hundreds of meters away, Varela said. In the real world, victim’s location date might one day be sent wirelessly to emergency crews carrying a tablet.
33. What is the advantage of the human-seeking drone
A. Its high speed of flying. B. Its long working hours.
C. Its quick response to screams. D. Its easy access to disaster scene.
34. What can the auditory system do
A. Recognize human cries. B. Send victim’s location data to a tablet.
C. Pick up sounds from far away. D. Improve the quality of human screams.
35. What does the underlined word “signatures” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Effects. B. Features. C. Symbols. D. Situations.
36. Up to now, engineers have successfully________.
A. developed higher frequency microphones for use on drones
B. coached Ai software to distinguish Human and natural sounds
C. rescued disaster victims by using drones to recognize human cries
D. completed outdoor experiments using drones to quickly locate victims
【答案】33. D 34. A 35. B 36. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一种通过探测人类的尖叫声来追踪目标的飞行器，以及这项技术在救援过程中是如何发挥作用的。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They could hover over an area that rescue crews have difficulty getting to and locate exactly where people may be trapped.(它们可能会在救援人员难以到达的地区上空盘旋，并确定人们可能被困的确切位置)”可知，与救援人员相比，载人无人机有优势在于它很容易到达灾难现场。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“An auditory(听觉的) system would need to distinguish human cries from sounds that often happen in nature, such as animal calls and wind.(听觉系统需要能区分人类呼救声和自然界里也能听到的声音，如动物叫声和风声。)”可知，这套听觉系统的功能是探测人类的尖叫声。故选A。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Then, they analyzed each sound frequency(然后，他们分析每个声音的频率)”以及“and used those to train artificial intelligence software.(并用这些来训练人工智能软件)”可知，研究人员通过分析声音的频率特点，然后与人类声音进行比对，最后使用机器对搜寻到的声音进行分析，最终帮助找到失踪人员。由此可知，划线单词是指“声音与声音的共同点”，即共同的特点。故选B。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So far, they have conducted successful open field experiments finding that the drone can estimate a victim’s location within a few seconds of picking up sound.”（到目前为止，他们已经进行了成功的现场实验，发现无人机可以在拾取声音的几秒钟内估计受害者的位置）可知，到目前为止，工程师们已经成功地完成了使用无人机快速定位受害者的户外实验。故选D。

Humans’ overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying,” or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” That’s probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
37. What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors
A. They are a cause of climate change.
B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups.
D. They are affected by materialism.
38. It can be learned from Helm’s study that ________.
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
39. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being
A. Replacing older items. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Being careful with expenses.
40. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.
【答案】37. D 38. B 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，说明了物质主义消费观对环保行为的影响以及与个体幸福感之间的关系。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一自然段中“Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental behaviors in millennials,...”（Helm和她的同事探索了物质主义价值观如何影响千禧一代的环保行为，……）可知，materialistic values即materialism对pro-environmental behaviors有影响。故选D项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三自然段中“More materialistic participants,…, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.””（更崇尚物质的参与者不太可能减少消费。然而，物质主义似乎对他们进行“绿色购买”的可能性没有影响。）可知，物质主义者不太可能减少消费，但他们愿意 “绿色购买”。故选B项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段中“Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering.”（反之，消费越少，个人幸福感越高，心理痛苦越少。）可知不崇尚物质，消费少的个体幸福感更高，因此“Being careful with expenses”也就是精打细算的人更幸福。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。在末段尾句“However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.”（不过，她也承认，对许多消费者来说，改变消费行为，在财务上更加主动，减少消费将是一个挑战。）中作者说改变消费行为很难，按逻辑推理可知下一段中会解释为什么难。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
Is there a link between social media and depression Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health It’s complicated.
In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.
___41___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___42___
There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___43___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.
___44___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.
It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___45___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.
A. It's the same with social media.
B. Social media can be a double-edged sword.
C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.
D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.
E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.
F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.
G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. G 44. B 45. F
【解析】
