The Great Courses—Best for Lifelong Learners
The Great Courses, one of the best online course providers, is an online platform that can meet the demands of
individuals who love to learn simply for joy and choose from 1,345 courses in a range of topics.
The Great Courses Overview
Areas of study 13 subjects available
Course level Beginner, advanced
Cost $18.50—$469.95
Languages available English only
What We Like
While most other online course providers concentrate on upskilling and improving career and salary
prospects, this platform is more about sharing knowledge for the purpose of satisfying intellectual curiosity.
Popular courses focus on subjects like cooking, painting, dog training, language, culture, literature, music, science,
history, geography and more.
Lessons are video-based, available by streaming through The Great Courses’ website or mobile app or on
DVDs. Many lectures are also available as streaming audio makes it even easier for students to learn anytime and
anywhere.
The price of courses can range from around $20 to a few hundred dollars, but The Great Courses regularly
offers discounts. The Great Courses also partners with Wondrium, a subscribed online learning platform, which
gives students unlimited access to a library of courses for $12.50 per month.
What We Don’t Like
Students who’re seeking online learning to gain marketable, career-focused skills may need help in finding
what they’re looking for through The Great Courses. This platform has no grades or certificates of completion.
Lecture-based video lessons may not appeal to all learners, especially those who prefer mastering new skills
through experiential learning or reading assignments.

This year, the Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum, went to
Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra director at Annandale High School in Fairfax
County, Virginia. She attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and brought home both a $10,000 prize and
matching grant （资助） for her school’s music program.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as
well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their children.
She got the idea mostly from the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries, including
many refugees and immigrants. “There’re many cultures that might typically clash, but they come together in this
very beautiful harmony,” Ray explained. “And that’s really uniquely expressed in the orchestra classroom, where
we’re just all music-ing together.”
Ray says the Crescendo Orchestra is focused on teaching students how to play an instrument, through
one-on-one instruction tailored to their needs. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however.
“I really push my students to be brave and go outside of their comfort zone. We have to learn how to work together
with others,” she says.
Ray, who comes from a family of musicians and has played the harp （竖琴） since the age of five, knows
firsthand the impact that a great teacher can make on their students. “Why I am where I am is because a teacher
changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she says.
Ray says her warm reception on the awards ceremony is especially meaningful because not many people
understand what exactly music educators do in the classroom or how much their work matters. She says that lack of
understanding is one of the biggest challenges facing the profession in general. Moreover, she says her school
desperately needs new instruments, and adds that she’ll use some of her grant money to buy more.
（ ）24．What mainly inspired Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra?
A．The effect of some caregivers. B．The diversity of a community.
C．The harmony of the disabled. D．The rich culture of her school.
（ ）25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Who are influenced by music. B．How the Crescendo Orchestra develops.
C．What students can learn. D．Why students need special instruction.
（ ）26．How was Ray influenced by her teacher?
A．She funded some students. B．She fought against her family.
C．She began learning the harp. D．She chose to be a music educator.
（ ）27．What can be learned from what Ray says in the last paragraph?
A．Music education needs to be appreciated. B．She badly wants donations for instruments.
C．The administration offers no support. D．She is often challenged by musicians.

People have long watched moths （飞蛾） and other flying insects flock to streetlamps, lights and flames.
These insects appear attracted by the light. But a new study suggests they may just lose track of which way is up.
Previous theories say light probably blinds flying insects so that they get trapped by the light, or maybe they
interpret light at night as a place to fly for a quick escape. Now the new study suggests flying insects instead turn
their backs to the sky’s light to keep their feet pointing toward the ground. Insects naturally turn their backs toward
light. But when that light is from an artificial source, it may affect their sense of direction, leading to them flying in
circles or diving toward the ground.
At a field station in Costa Rica, Samuel Fabian, an entomologist from Imperial College London in England
and his teammates set up hanging and standing lights, and then used high-speed cameras to track wild, flying
insects including moths and flies. Some circled the lights endlessly, and others flew sharply upward, losing speed
until they couldn’t fly any higher. When the light source pointed up, some insects turned around and headed for the
ground. During the flight, the insects always kept the lights at their back even if they’d end up crashing. Crash
landings were common when the team lit up a white sheet on the floor. But not when a white sheet—stretched into
a height above the floor—was bathed in diffuse （漫射） light, much as the sky would be, insects flew through
the area without getting trapped by the light.
The team also observed some species in a lab. Moths and dragonflies generally behaved like the wild insects,
and they kept the light at their backs. However, in the lab, fruit flies, like oleander hawk moths—which can fly in
the dark—could fly over LED lights without being thrown off course. In the wild, though, the moths still crashed.
Maybe this is because, Fabian says, the insects can sometimes control their response to light, or over time, they
might learn to avoid artificial light.
（ ）28．Why do insects naturally turn their backs toward light?
A．To get close to the light. B．To escape being caught quickly.
C．To protect their feet better. D．To track where the ground is.
（ ）29．What did the researchers find during the new study?
A．Artificial light at night could put insects on a crash course.
B．Artificial light signaled an escape route for the insects.
C．The insects had a better sense of direction.
D．The insects were flying toward the light.
（ ）30．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning oleander hawk moths?
A．To stress the importance of the study. B．To prove the previous theory.
C．To tell the existence of the exception. D．To explain the flight pattern.
（ ）31．What could be the best title for the text?
A．Artificial Light Makes Insects More Adaptable B．Insects May Lose Track near Artificial Light
C．The Ways to Get Rid of Light Pollution D．Insects Learn to Fly for a Quick Escape
D
The Ebola virus is an infectious disease that for years had almost no treatments, and it kill s about half the
people it infects. Now a new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that a promising vaccine
（疫苗）, named rVSVG-ZEBOV-GP, doesn’t just help to reduce infections, it also can cut those death numbers
in half.
The vaccine is a single-dose （单剂） muscular one that causes cells to produce one of the virus’s proteins.
“Later, if the person is exposed to Ebola,”explains Rebecca Coulborn, a scientist with Epicentre, the medical
research arm of Doctors Without Borders, “their immune system will recognize the viral protein. This recognition
allows the immune system to be prepared to attack the virus and protect the person from Ebola virus disease.”
Researchers showed rVSVG-ZEBOV-GP was effective at reducing the risk of infection, but no one knew
how capable it was of preventing death in someone who was vaccinated after becoming infected during an
epidemic （流行病）. To figure it out, Coulborn and her colleagues focused their efforts on the second-largest
Ebola outbreak ever recorded, which occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 2018 and 2020.
“Every single Ebola health facility across the entire Ebola epidemic had a standardized list of all admissions,”
says Coulborn. This list included 2,279 confirmed Ebola patients, and it recorded whether or not each person had
been vaccinated before they got sick—and if so, when they’d received the vaccine.
Coulborn found the death rate was 56% among the unvaccinated. But for those who’d received the vaccine,
that rate was cut in half. This was true no matter when someone got vaccinated before the appearance of symptoms.
Additionally, those who’d been vaccinated had less virus circulating in their bodies than those who hadn’t. So the
vaccine played an important role.
Rebecca Coulborn says she feels buoyed by the results—since they offer clear evidence that people who’re at
risk of contracting Ebola should be vaccinated early. It’s an opportunity to cut chains of transmission （传播）
and prevent an outbreak before it gains speed.
（ ）32．What is Coulborn trying to talk about concerning the vaccine in paragraph 2?
A．Who it attacks. B．Why it is developed. C．How it works. D．Where it comes from.
（ ）33．Coulborn’s team chose the second largest Ebola outbreak in Congo because ______.
A．it listed health facilities B．it was easy to analyze
C．it caused the fewest deaths D．it had a detailed record
（ ）34．What did Coulborn probably suggest people infected do?
A．Avoid connecting with each other. B．Get vaccinated as early as possible.
C．Stay at home to reduce the spread. D．Learn to recognize the symptoms.
（ ）35．What does the underlined word “buoyed” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Encouraged. B．Relaxed. C．Astonished. D．Honored.

That morning in September, at a five-kilometer race, I waited for my 11-year-old son at the finish line. He’d
run 30:34 at another 5k in late spring, so I 41 he could run a 5k in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him
at the 35-minute mark, I began to 42 .
It’d already been an 43 morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town, my son noticed a
lovely tiny green tree cricket （树蟋） in my car. It jumped onto my son’s hand where it stayed so long that we
eventually gave it a name: Little Friend.
Minutes before the race, it jumped onto the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to seek freedom, but this wasn’t a safe
place due to the 44 pedestrian traffic. So my son knelt and 45 his hand. Little Friend came back.
But I told him he would 46 it during the race.
I ran well and felt thrilled at the finish line. However, that 47 gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t
show up. I 48 asking people if they’d seen him. No one had. So I returned to the race headquarters. In my
confusion, I didn’t even see him 49 the finish line. But there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark,
with Little Friend 50 on his right thumb.
My 51 were wrong. My son didn’t run fast, and he didn’t lose Little Friend. These two 52
seemed somehow related. He 53 a cold he was getting over, but I knew it was more than that.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Those are the words of Thomas Alva Edison,
one of the greatest 56 (inventor) in the history of the United States.
Edison, who grew up in the Midwest, was 57 (large) self-educated. He earned 1,093 patents in his
lifetime, including the lightbulb. Being 58 successful businessman, Edison often reworked existing
technology, making it more practical for widespread use.
Edison was born on February 11, 1847, a day that 59 (celebrate) as National Inventors’ Day today.
The Thomas Edison Center, which was created in memory of Edison, is at Menlo Park in New Jersey. It is said that
the seven years Edison spent at the lab he created in New Jersey were the most 60 (product).
“Menlo Park is the birthplace of 61 (record) sound. It was in Menlo Park 62 Edison invented
the phonograph （留声机） in 1877. The invention led to the 30-year-old Ohio native’s international fame. From
then on, he was known 63 the “Wizard （奇才） of Menlo Park.”
A phonograph was the first device that was used 64 (reserve) sound. It was the precursor （先驱）
to record albums and CDs. The original model had no volume knob （旋钮）, so listeners would have to control
the sound by 65 (place) a sock in the machine. That’s where we get the expression “put a sock in it”, which
means “stop talking”.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Jennifer, do you hike?” Karen said to me. “Yes, I hike,” I replied. Karen’s slim figure and sun-kissed cheeks
suggested she was a regular hiker.
“Great, do you want to come with us tomorrow? We will meet in front of Bobbie’s house at 6:30 before it is
too hot, and we will go over to Thunderbird Mountain. It is about three miles in total. Does that sound OK?”
Three miles. I wasn’t sure how long that was, partly because I didn’t actually hike. I was somewhat familiar
with the area where they planned to go, but our family had just moved from Oregon to Arizona. I walked our dog
around the neighbourhood all the time before we moved here. But I wasn’t sure if I had gone three miles. Being
new to town and excited about an invitation from women I wanted to befriend, I accepted, saying, “Sure. That
sounds great. We all benefit from hiking.”
When this hiking conversation among my new friends occurred, I was at a monthly dinner for moms in my
new neighborhood. The group was four women in their forties, all with high-school kids, jobs, a fondness for
reading and music and tricks for simplifying work-life.
I was honored to be invited since making friends in my forties in a new town wasn’t easy. After this
re-location for my husband’s career, making friends wasn’t as simple for me as it was for him. He came to the
community for a full-time position at a busy university. Our teenaged son and daughter immediately plugged into
school through sports and clubs. I was enormously grateful for the ea se of the transition for my family, but nervous
for myself. So, while at the monthly ladies’ gathering, when hiking came up, I just played along, wanting to try
something new.
The next day, I got up early and carefully selected comfortable hiking clothes. When I arrived at the
designated friend’s driveway a little early, Karen was standing there waiting. “Hey, Jennifer, I’m glad that you can
come to hike,” she said cheerfully and hugged me. When the others joined us, we started walking. I was sweaty and
a little out of breath before we even started going uphill.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“So, where did you hike in Oregon?” one of them asked, offering me a bottle of water. __________________
