One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.
Stage 1: Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible, a Bunsen burner and tongs.
Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.
Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.
Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.
Result: The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates, leaving the salt in the crucible.
Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution.
He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.
【小题1】What lesson did the incident teach the students and the teacher?
A.Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab! |
B.Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab. |
C.A crylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid. |
D.Finding something unusual happened, you have to leave the laboratory at once. |
A.Water | B.Carbon dioxide gas | C.Salt | D.Poisonous gas |
A.He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself. |
B.He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. |
C.There was no label on the bottle. |
D.Paul didn’t check with the teacher that it was the right solution. |
A.Becausethe room was full of this strong smelling white gas. |
B.Because all the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. |
C.Becausethe liquid was a crylamide and that it is poisonous. |
D.Because someone was injured in the incident. |
【小题1】A
【小题2】C
【小题3】D
【小题4】C
解析试题分析:一天上午,Paul和同学们在科学实验室上化学实验课。同学们在老师的指导下分组进行实验。Paul误用了一个没有贴标签瓶子里的液体,结果出现了意外,丙烯酰胺反应后生成了有毒的气体。
【小题1】根据文章可知,同学们遵守老师的指导进行实验,排除B;Paul不知道瓶子里装的是crylamide,排除C;出现紧急情况时,要看情况的严重性再作出判断,排除D。实验出错的原因是Paul用了那个没有贴标签的瓶子里面的物质,故选A。
【小题2】根据“The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. ...leaving the salt in the crucible”可知,同学们做实验要得到的物质是盐,故选C。
【小题3】根据“there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution”可知,瓶子上没有贴标签,Paul没有和老师一起检查这个瓶子是否适合做实验用,故选D。
【小题4】根据“She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.”可知,老师发现发生反应的是丙烯酰胺,而丙烯酰胺是有毒的,故选C。

My six-year-old came home from school this week with two envelopes. One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.
“I’ll put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking he’d be so excited to put his own stamp on things.
“That’s okay, mom. You put money in. I don’t want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he colored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”
Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.
I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would just understand why it was important to help people in need — and even want to do it himself.
But of course he doesn’t really understand yet. “There’s a big disconnect between the people ‘over there’ and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.
“There’s nothing wrong with the child. There’s just no connection.”
As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life for our kids.”
She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:
* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.
* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they won’t be shocked when you ask them to stuff their own money into an envelope (like this writer just did).
* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.
* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.
At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got something new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids’ lives.”
So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But I’ll make sure he understands why they should be filled—gradually.
【小题1】When the writer asked her son to give money to help the poor, he __________.
A.declined to donate |
B.sang a sweet song |
C.put all his money in a bank |
D.seemed very surprised |
A.critical | B.tolerant | C.positive | D.worried |
A.Giving courses about charity. |
B.Setting a rule for children to give. |
C.Inviting a lot of poor people home. |
D.Giving children enough real life chances. |
A.She often makes donations for people in need. |
B.She taught her son a lesson over dinner that evening. |
C.She is at a loss as for what she should do next. |
D.She invited a parenting educator home for advice. |
A.Kids, please help those in need. |
B.Why are kids unwilling to donate? |
C.Kindness is lost in the young generation. |
D.How can we help kids learn generosity? |

The library is one of the most popular places at a western university.Students turn to it for research,conversations about class,and many other services.
Compared with Chinese libraries,college libraries in the US and UK tend to offer more resources.A postgraduate at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.
In addition to borrowing books,there are online and electronic resources.These include a database search of popular and academic material,such as LexisNexis Academic,which offers items from newspapers and magazines.
Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently,some libraries provide audio and video recordings,maps and sheet music(活页乐谱).At some schools,teachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library web to give easier access for students.
Another useful service in western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan.This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school.The loan request is made through the student’s college library,which gets the book,gives it to the user,and arranges for its return.
Technology has brought more services to students and has made libraries attractive.Some universities have services for students to send messages through the computer or mobile texts to ask the library staff for information.
Earlier this year,Harvard University introduced a new Scan and Deliver service,allowing students to make requests for parts of books and articles.Requests made through the system are handled by library staff.The student receives an email with an Internet link to the scanned pages.The service is free and all material comes within four days.
It used to be that libraries didn’t allow food or drinks.But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a café so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.
Actually,some US university libraries are now allnight affairs,or have at least one study room open all night.
【小题1】In western college libraries a postgraduate can ________.
A.have a free drink or a meal |
B.borrow as many books as they want |
C.ask questions and get answers from their tutors |
D.access not only books but other study resources |
A.guide | B.library |
C.database | D.university |
A.Books and articles. |
B.Audio and video recordings. |
C.Maps and sheet music. |
D.Tutors’ teaching PPTs. |
A.Chinese library services are better than western ones. |
B.Library staff play an important role in college library service. |
C.Postgraduates can post their own PPTs on the library website. |
D.24hour services are adopted in all western libraries nowadays. |

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a "mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills.But 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract(使 - - - ---分心) students than to help them academically." And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans."
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project.Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report.Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster."Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging.Young people favor these tools.The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers."
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy.They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet.Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information."It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to.Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have."
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
【小题1】The text mainly tells us____.
A.all the students use digital tools |
B.the Internet is playing a key role |
C.teachers encourage using digital tools |
D.digital tools bring about benefits and problems |
A.students do not have the right digital tools |
B.students do not always have access to the Internet |
C.students haven't the ability to adjust themselves |
D.students can't judge online information properly |
A.they can get answers on the Internet quickly |
B.printed books and libraries around aren't enough |
C.the Internet can't make students concentrate |
D.they can copy each others' work without being punished |

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities (设施)for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes (样品); they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),” Mark. McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
【小题1】How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?
A.They lost balance in excitement. | B.they showed strong disbelief. |
C.they expressed little interest. | D.they burst into cheers. |
A.Assessment-Prototype-Design-Construction. |
B.Assessment-Design-Prototype-Construction. |
C.Design-Assessment-Prototype-Construction. |
D.Design-Prototype-Assessment-Construction. |
A.The large size. | B.Limited facilities. |
C.The desert climate. | D.Poor natural resources. |
A.They are questionable. | B.They are out of date. |
C.They are advanced. | D.They are practical. |

Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.
One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the Internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.
After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, and then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way,” Rungruangkitkrai added.
【小题1】Why was the university criticized on the Internet?
A.Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous. |
B.The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple. |
C.Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam. |
D.The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat. |
A.Skeptical | B.Supportive | C.Objective | D.Negative |
A.it’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam. |
B.Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam. |
C.wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective to some degree. |
D.some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat. |

There are some new drivers going back to school. Teens who have recently gotten their driver's licenses may be taking the wheel to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving. And it turns out that such parental fears are justified, so it's worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among US teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk of crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than that of older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays between the hours of 3 pm and midnight.
Why are teens at higher risk of motor vehicle crashes?
Development. Teens haven't completely matured mentally and have greater risktaking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.
No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.
Alcohol. A least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to drinking alcohol.
Technological distractions(分散注意力的事).Cellphones,texting,MP3 players,and the like can all distract drivers greatly—and who more than teenagers?
Be aware of your teen's driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen's use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to the danger when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply (eg. “I'm driving right now”), and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver's whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can't be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.
【小题1】What factor is least related to the teen drivers' high risks of crashes?
A.Drivers' age. | B.Passengers' sex. |
C.Driving experience. | D.Driving time. |
A.using no seatbelts | B.drinking water |
C.carrying passengers | D.answering cellphones |
A.Texting. | B.GPS programs. |
C.Automated replies. | D.Voicemail. |
A.offer parents practical suggestions |
B.summarize teens' driving practices |
C.advocate different driving habits |
D.set an example for the teens |

Where Are We Going, Dad? presents a new generation of men, in a break from Chinese tradition, now take an active role in their children's lives.
Five star fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing off the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare home in remote southwestern Yunnan province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but give him a couple of days — he’ll figure it out. Another one must survive with his son for three days in the desert, where, because neither can cook, the two only eat instant noodles.
These story lines are part of Where Are We Going, Dad? which, since its first show in October, has become one of China’s most popular television shows, covering more than 600 million viewers each week. And searches for Where Are We Going, Dad? turn up over 40 million hits on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter.
“In traditional Chinese culture, the common conception of parenthood is that the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more concerned with their upbringing,” said Li Minyi, an associate professor of early childhood education at the leading Beijing Normal University. “An important question arises in this show for modern Chinese society — what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”
“As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping, a popular education expert, in an interview with the Qianjiang Evening News. “They cannot use parenting styles from 20 years ago to guide the development of children born 20 years later.”
The attraction of Where Are We Going, Dad? lies in the chance to have a close look at the lives of popular Chinese stars and their children. Audiences fancy watching the failed attempts of star dads making dinner, braiding hair(编头发), and disciplining children — tasks often left to mothers in a society still influenced by the opinion that “men rule outside and women rule inside.”
【小题1】From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that Where Are We Going, Dad? is .
A.a TV show | B.a novel | C.a match | D.a news report |
A.how the fathers do housework at home |
B.how the children study in their spare time |
C.how the fathers look after and guide their children |
D.how the children help their father with their travel around China |
A.In modern society, men should not care too much about their kids. |
B.Where Are We Going, Dad has the most number of viewers in China. |
C.In Chinese tradition, fathers always play an active part in their children’s lives. |
D.While they bring up their children, parents are improving their parenting styles. |
A.audiences enjoy laughing at others’ failure in life |
B.it can make people laugh and think at the same time |
C.people love watching the stars and their children’s lives closely |
D.it presents a new generation of men’s role in their children’s lives |

There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.
In the school, administrative assistants greet students at the start of the day and answer a large quantity of questions. When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office.
Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.
Custodians (管理员) are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools. They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (复杂的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.
【小题1】The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.emphasize the role teachers play in a school |
B.highlight the contributions of other staff at school besides teachers. |
C.tell us who make the greatest contributions to a school |
D.explain what contributes to the success of a student |
A.he is paid particular attention to | B.he is special |
C.he has done something wrong | D.he has made progress in study |
A.It’s enough for them to cook for the students. |
B.It’s hard for them to interact with the students. |
C.They have the most interaction with students at school. |
D.They can also meet the emotional needs of the students. |
A.Disappointed. | B.Dissatisfied. | C.Appreciative. | D.Doubtful. |
