Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called Goreader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in “The Asian Age” newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?
1.What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?
A. light B. small C. big and heavy D. old
2.What would Indians do to solve this problem?
A. They would reduce the textbooks.
B. They would tell the parents to help students.
C. They would tell the teachers to help students.
D. They would take students to school by bus.
3.The writer may think that Americans have a ______ way to solve the problem.
A. more stupid B. worse C. better D. quicker
4.The Goreader may be a machine ________.
A. that can work as a teacher
B. that can be used as textbooks
C. that can cheat(欺骗) students.
D. that can hurt students
5. When the new machine is used, it is possible that ________.
A. students might study harder
B. students might study at home
C. students might not need teachers
D. students might study without paper textbooks
1.C
2.A
3.C
4.B
5.D

试题分析:这篇文章主要介绍了为了减轻书包的重量,美国发明了一种新的书包。它带有显示屏,学生只要下载教材到里面,就能够把书包当课本用。这种书包已经开始了试用,这是否意味着我们要告别纸质教材呢 ?
1.词义猜测题。从后文Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too.没有人愿意一个肩膀比另一个肩膀低,并承受疼痛。从而判断没人愿意背大而中的书包,故选C。
2. 细节理解题。文章第一段 In India, most of us would look at the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out。在印度,大多数人认为减轻课本的重量是一个解决办法,故选A。
3.判断推理题。在文章的第二三段,讲了美国减轻书包重量这个方法的优点,从而判断作者认为这个方法更好,故选C。

5.判断推理题。根据文中的描述,学生们不再需要纸张的教材,只要下载教材就能通过Goreader书包来学习,以及文章的最后一句Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?这是否意味着要和纸张和黑色墨水颜色说再见了呢?从而判断D正确。

After a quick breakfast, I went into the lecture(讲座) hall in a hurry. A famous teacher was speaking to the students. He was holding up a $100 bill. Then he said to over 300 students, “ Who would like this $100 bill?” The students put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this $100 bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back again into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the $100 bill, you still want this bill. Many times in our life, we are dropped and stepped on.
