were more passenger pigeons than any other species of bird.Rough26of theirpopulation went as high as five billion and they accounted for around 40 percent of the total indigenous birdpopulation of North America in the early 19th century.Despite their huge population,passenger pigeons were27to human intrusion into their nesting territory.Their nests were shabby things and two weeks after the

statementcontains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Is computer coding a foreign language?A)As computer coding has become an increasingly sought-after skill,more K-12 schools are working it intotheir curriculums.Some states have considered allowing students to forgo(放弃)foreign language forcoding classes,despite opposition from educators.B)Theres a debate over whether its appropriate to teach coding in elementary schools,with fierce opinions oneach side.When it comes to allowing coding to fill foreign language requirements,though,most educatorsagree:Coding should be added to curriculums,but not at the expense of foreign language classes.C)The idea is that computer programming is a language,allowing people to communicate with machines andprograms.Its the language of the 21st century and more valuable than a natural language,some advocatesargue.The computer science field is growing faster than schools can keep up because of budget constraintsand a lack of skills training for teachers.D)According to the 2016 U.S.News/Raytheon STEM Index,computer science jobs have helped boost wagesin the U.S.,and computer-related jobs hold the top seven positions in STEM fields for highest number ofworkers.Foreign language interest,on the other hand,is declining for the first time since 1995.The numberof higher education language enrollments declined between 2009 and 2013 by more than 111,000 spots,according to the Modern Language Association of America.E)“I think the opportunity to give people a choice is important,”says Florida state Senator Jeremy Ring,whointroduced a bill last year that would allow Florida students to choose between foreign language and codingclasses for the purpose of university admissions requirements.“I think if youre going to give two years oflanguage in high school,you might as well do computer coding.”F)The Florida bill died this year after passing 35:5 in the state Senate when the full Legislature failed to takeaction.It would have been the first state to try this initiative.Ring says that although he will be out of office,an identical bill will be reintroduced within the next year by others on his behalf.“In the speech I gave on the2022 年 9 月六级真题(第一套)4I)hatchedJ)expiredK)excerptsL)estimatesM)edibleN)depletedO)delicacySenate floor,I said,We can be the first state to do this,or we can be the 50th state to do it.Its our choice.Its going to happen,”Ring says.G)A Kentucky bill similar to the one in Florida was met with complaints from educators,and was then amendedto promote computer science education initiatives with no mention of foreign language requirements.Instead,the state will provide support for higher quality certified teachers for programming classes.Under theWashington bill,public universities would accept two years of computer science classes in place of two yearsof foreign language for admission purposes.A report detailing the opinions of state university officials is dueto the Legislature by November 2017.H)Texas passed a bill in 2013 that allows students to substitute computer coding only after they have attemptedand performed poorly in a foreign language class.Srini Mandyam,CTO and co-founder of kid-friendlyinstructional coding company Tynker,believes allowing students to forgo foreign language because theystruggle with it is unproductive because every subject,whether art,math or language,is a significantcontribution to a well-rounded existence.“Many students dont fare well with algebra but we never discusseliminating it or say chemistry is now counted as an algebra class,”he said via email.“We teach algebrabecause its important and we should teach foreign language and coding for the same reason.Exposure toa wide breadth of subjects and material results in well-rounded students who are able to make informeddecisions about what they want to pursue.”I)Computer science courses already fulfill a math or science high school graduation requirement in 28 statesand the District of Columbia,up from only 12 states in 2013.And while advocates of the bills say theyshould count as foreign language instead,opponents stress the importance of balancing computer and foreignlanguage skills.J)Studies show that bilingualism(双语)correlates with cognitive development,intelligence,memory andproblem solving abilities,according to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.A 2007 study showed that foreign language students outperformed their non-foreign language peers onstandardized tests after only two to three years of study.And while a 2014 report from German and Americanuniversities suggests that programmers are using language(but not mathematical)regions of the brain whenunderstanding code,critics remain wary.They say that regardless of cognitive functions,being monolingualis a disadvantage in the increasingly international economy,even if English has become the de facto(事实上 的)language of business.K)“Our world is shrinking but its problems are really growing,”says ACTFL National Language Teacher of theYear Ted Zarrow,who teaches high school Latin in Westwood,Massachusetts,and has also studied Spanish,French,German,Italian and Greek.“We need to find a way to put ourselves at the global table and to treateach other with mutual respect.And learning languages allows us to do that because language is not part ofculture,language is culture.”L)Even with the benefits and skill sets languages provide,recruiters and employers value computer skills more.According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers 2016 report,study abroad and foreignlanguage fluency were not very influential in the employee hiring processes,but 55 percent of employerslooked for computer skills on applicants resumes.However,although 2016 computer science graduates canexpect to make the second highest starting salary compared with other jobs this year,the Bureau of Laborpredicts the demand for computer programmers will decrease 8 percent or by 26,500 jobs by 2024.M)Ring says foreign language skills are important,but expresses doubt that school districts could work bothcoding and language into their curriculum in a significant way because they lack the time in the school day.52022 年 9 月六级真题(第一套)“No
