Reading Comprehension As the 2020–21 school year began, students oscillated among virtual, hybrid, and in-person learning as districts and states balanced
the need to keep students and staff safe with the need to provide an effective learning environment. Students faced multiple schedule
changes, were assigned new teachers midyear, and struggled with glitchy internet connections and Zoom fatigue. This was a uniquely
challenging year for teachers and students, and it is no surprise that it has left its mark—on student learning, and on student well-being.
As we analyze the cost of the pandemic, we use the term “unfinished learning” to capture the reality that students were not given the
opportunity this year to complete all the learning they would have completed in a typical year. Some students who have disengaged from
school altogether may have slipped backward, losing knowledge or skills they once had. The majority simply learned less than they would
have in a typical year, but this is nonetheless important. Students who move on to the next grade unprepared are missing key building
blocks of knowledge that are necessary for success, while students who repeat a year are much less likely to complete high school and
move on to college. And it’s not just academic knowledge these students may miss out on. They are at risk of finishing school without the
skills, behaviors, and mindsets to succeed in college or in the workforce. An accurate assessment of the depth and extent of unfinished
learning will best enable districts and states to support students in catching up on the learning they missed and moving past the pandemic
and into a successful future. 【題組】39.What can be the most feasible way to solve the problem of “unfinished learning”?
(A) Equip students with necessary skills and attitude towards the learning amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
(B) Make sure that students have adequate learning devices like Wi-Fi connection and computers.
(C) Have close examination and assessment of students’ “unfinished learning.”
(D) Adjust teaching methodology for efficient learning.

developed from chemicals found there. (6) However, coral reefs are threatened by water pollution, oil spills, and pesticides. (7) Another threat
to coral reefs is a steady increase in average temperatures around the Earth, called climate change or global warming. (8) Most scientists
think that the warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, an increase of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in our atmosphere.
(9) This causes ocean temperature to rise, and as a result, some coral reefs are dying. (10) Coral reefs are also injured or destroyed when
people mine the coral for building materials or break it to sell as souvenirs and jewelry. (11) Dangerous fishing practices, such as fishing by
using explosives, also harm reefs. 【題組】42.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
