    14．Today，in many high schools，teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs，digital cameras．DVD players and laptops．Teachers can e-mail parents，post messages for students on online bulletin（公告，告示） boards，and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse．
    Even though we are now living in the digital age，the basic and most important element of education has not changed．Most students still need that one-on-one，teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed．Teenagers need instruction in English，math or history，but they also want personal advice and encouragement．Kids talk with me about their families，their weekend plans，their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems．In my English and journalism class，we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive（富有哲理的） essays，but we also discuss college basketball，the war in Iraq and career choices．Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars，their family vacations，and their newborn baby brothers．This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace．
    A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general．Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around，I knew his family life was far from ideal．Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades，he always had the same reply："It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway．"Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way，I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my"value of a high school education"lecture．He needed to hear this speech from me．After he left my class，he struggled through the next two years of school．But，he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there．We'd cared about him finishing school．
    Recently，I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant．I told him again how proud I was of him．He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician．I encouraged him to get that training．
    Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide，to tutor，to listen，to laugh and to cry with them．Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process-the human one．

    41．The first paragraph mainly discussesB．
    A．the variety of modern teaching methods
    B．the wide use of modern technology in education
    C．the importance of teacher-parent relationship
    D．the importance of using modern technology
    42．The underlined word"compassionate"in Para 5meansC．
    A．ambitious   B．knowledgeable   C．sympathetic   D．generous
    43．According to the text，the most important element in education isD．
    A．teacher's good instruction   B．advanced technology
    C．teachers'encouragement       D．personal connection
    44．The author states his view of education byA．
    A．example   B．description   C．figure   D．comparison．

    分析 这篇文章讲述了虽然在当今的教育中，现代的技术正在被广泛的使用，但是人与人的交流、沟通不能被取代．

    解答 41．B  推理题：根据"Today，in many high schools，teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs，digital cameras，DVD players and laptops．"可知第一自然段主要讲了在当今的教育中，现代的技术正在被广泛的使用，故选B．
    42．C 推理题：根据"to guide，to tutor，to listen，to laugh and to cry with them．"指导、辅导、听着，笑和哭．可知"compassionate"意思是有同情心的，故选C．
    43．D 细节题：根据"This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace．"这种教师和学生之间的个人必要联系是即使再多的技术改进也不能替代．故选D．
    44．A 推理题：作者例举了自己之前的一个学生的例子，所以作者通过举例法来陈述自己的教育观点．故选A．

    点评 本题主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    4．If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment，then a visit to the Russian  village of Oymyakon might just change your mind．
        With the average temperature for January standing at-50C，it is no wonder the  village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world．Known as the'Pole of Cold'，the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon was-71.2C，which is the lowest  recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth．
        Ironically，Oymyakon actually means'non-freezing water  due to a nearby hot  spring．Most homes-in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few  modern conveniences．
        Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer （驯鹿） meat and horse meat．A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders，
    hunters and ice-fisherman．
        The village is located around 750metres above sea level and the length of a day  varies from 3hours in December t0 21hours in the summer．And despite its terrible  winters，in June，July and August temperatures over 30c are not uncommon．
        There are few modern conveniences in the village-with many buildings still   having outdoor toilets and most people still burn coal and wood for heat．When coal  deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood．If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack．
        Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power．Locals are said to leave  their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them．
        Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves  would not work in such cold conditions．
        Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which  can take anything up to three days．

    64．According to the text，OymyakonC．
    A．is the coldest location on the earth
    B．has got frozen water all over the year
    C．gets its name because of a nearby hot spring
    D．can enjoy quite a few modern conveniences
    65．Mobile phones would not work in Oymyakon becauseB．
    A．the batteries are of poor quality
    B．the extreme coldness makes them lose power
    C．there was no coverage for phone reception
    D．the phone reception is too far away to receive the signals
    66．We can learn from the text thatA．
    A．daily problems usually accompany the locals
    B．the town often stops working because of no coal delivery
    C．locals only live on reindeer meat and horse meat
    D．locals have no awareness of saving their resources．

    5．There is an old Chinese proverb that states"One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade"，and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters．The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing．If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship．However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship．These characteristics include the hierarchy （等级） and unconditional love，which p reclude mothers and daughters from being best friends．
    Marina，27years old，says，"I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn't consider her my best friend．Best friends don't pay for your wedding．Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life！Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20years longer than you．"This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying．
    While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding．This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship．Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers，responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions．Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology，which may bring them even closer together．
    Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason．The mother and daughter relationship is still closer than any other．There is not an equal relationship．Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers'emotional well-being．It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers．It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well-being．
    The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other．Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness．Mother always"trumps"friends．

    28．The underlined word"preclude"in Paragraph 1probably means"B"．
    A．differ      
    B．prevent
    C．benefit     
    D．change
    29．Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship？A
    A．Because they have a lot of common interests．
    B．Because they have common family values．
    C．Because they have no generation gap．
    D．Because they keep a constant relationship．
    30．What do we know from the passage？C
    A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend．
    B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship．
    C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends'friendship．
    D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother．
    31．What is the best title for the passage？D
    A．How to be a good mother and daughter？
    B．Who is a mother's best friend？
    C．A friend in need is a friend indeed
    D．Can a mother be a daughter's best friend？

    2．We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives． Instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves． We try to ignore the hurt and，pain，but we can't hide from ourselves．（36）F   
        The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely．
        1．Breathe into pain
        Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to face it instead of running away（37）GWhen the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and accept it．By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness．
        2．  （38）B  
        We're often confused at the next step to take． Actually，we can try a new decision making process．To start this process，we may ask，"Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？"See what comes up，then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome．
        3．Spend time alone
        For most of our lives we're surrounded by people：our friends，family members，and strangers．（39）DWhen you spend time in solitude（孤独），you're free from the influences of other people． It might be painful at first，but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life．
        4．Get outside of yourself
           （40）EBut in reality，they actually work hand-in-hand． After you've explored the depths of yourself，you come away with a new understanding．
        Now，it's time to share that-not through telling others，but through being with others．
        A．Have a light heart
        B．Ask your heart what it wants
        C．Is there anything I'm hiding from myself？
        D．How often do we really spend time alone？
        E．This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip．
        F．We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds．
        G．When we run away from sadness，it gets stronger and more real．

    9．
    A．Joint effort in the development of for-profit centers
    B．Benefits brought to parents
    C．An alternative to the problem of public playgrounds
    D．Suitable time arrangement for working parents
    E．Parents'worries of the kids safety in the new playground
    F．Parents'concern about kids playing time
    76．C
    As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and shabby，the for-profit centers offer clean，safe，supervised activities as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters'physical fitness，usually for a fee of around﹩5 an hour．"Playgrounds are dirty，not supervised，"says Dick Guggenheimer，owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers，N．Y．，part of a Kansas City-based chain．"We're indoors； we're padded； parents can feel their child is safe．"
    77．A
    Discovery Zone has sold 120 outlets in the past 14 months，boasting sandboxes full of brightly colored plastic balls，mazes，obstacle courses，slides and mountains to climb．Now McDonalds is getting into the act．The burger giant is test-marketing a new playground，Leaps&Bounds，in Naperville，Ill．Phys Kids of Wichita has opened one center and has plans to expand．
    78．F
    American parents are rightly worried about their kids'leisure life．There are 36 million children in the U．S．aged 2 to 11 who watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week and devote less and less energy to active recreation．Nationwide decrease in education budgets are making the problem worse，as gym classes and after-hours sports time get squeezed．Says Discovery Zone president Jack Gunion："We have raised a couple of pure couch potatoes．"
    79．D
    In an attempt to attract more people，the new facilities cater to （迎合） the concerns of two-earner families，staying open in the evenings，10ng after traditional public playground have grown dark and unusable．At Naperville's Leaps&Bounds，families can play together for﹩4.95 per child，parents free．Fresh-faced assistants，dressed in colorful sport pants and shirts，guide youngsters to appropriate play areas for differing age group．
    80．B
    These new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care facilities； parents are expected to stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off．But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services．At some of the Discovery Zones，parents can register their children in special supervised programs，then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner．The most fun of all，though，is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-career families and two-hour commutes：play with their kid．That，at least，is old-fashioned，even at per-hour rates．

    19．Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools．In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state．But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it．
             A charter school might be independent or connected to the local public school system．It might be started by teachers，parents or，in some cases，a profit-making business．It sets up the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured．And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network （GCSN）．The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but also to go further than that．
             The schools teach students to be concerned with community issues （社区事务） that affect them and the environment．For example，young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating．Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria．And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need．
             Jim McGrath is president of the GCSN．He says there are about two hundred"green"charter schools across the United States．The plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools．"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child，every adult-has a responsibility that our action，every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in．And that our natural resources are never unlimited．And that if we want a positive earth for future generations，we all need to make commitments to be change agents so that we don't destroy our natural resources，"said Jim McGrath．              
             The GCSN holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota．Supporters of green schools say their goal is to expand the movement across the country．
    66．Which of the following is tine of a charter school？D
    A．It has more strict school rules．
    B．It is built for disabled students．
    C．It is financed by profit-making business．
    D．It generally has greater freedom of teaching．
    67．The GCSN：willD．
    A．destroy our natural resources
    B．combine private schools together
    C．build more schools throughout the world
    D．do more to make a difference to the environment
    68．Students in the GCSN mayC        
    A．join in political issues
    B．recycle waste from factories                      
    C．grow crops in a school garden
    D．share what they grow with one another
    69．Jim McGrathC        
    A．holds several national conferences
    B．takes charge of all charter schools in the US
    C．suggests everyone should be responsible for the earth
    D．believes our natural resources are never running out
    70．The passage is mainly aboutC．
    A．differences among charter schools            
    B．achievements of the GCSN
    C．charter schools

    6．Hawaii is an important trading center and about six million tourists visit there every year．With all that traffic in and out，exotic species（外来物种）have plenty of opportunities to reach the islands．According to biologists，exotic species are the number one threat to the state's economy，environment，and way of life．
    The question in Hawaii is，can the invaders be stopped？
    Quarantines are one way to do this．Quarantine is the process of isolating animals or products．In Hawaii，pet dogs and cats coming into the state remain in a special holding facility for four months to make sure they don't have rabies（狂犬病） Many agricultural products are also quarantined to see if they are carrying insect pests or plant diseases．
    Inspection is a second way to stop biological invaders．At airports，borders，and shipping ports，inspectors examine passengers and their baggage to see if they are carrying exotic species．The inspectors also destroy fruits，vegetables，or other goods that might be carrying harmful pests or diseases．Specially trained dogs also smell goods in the ship for exotic species．
    What if an exotic species slips by inspectors？Then efforts are made to control the invader．In Hawaii，government agencies control invaders by setting  livetraps around wildlife shelters and other places．At Haleakala National Park employees have built miles of fences to keep out exotic pigs and goats．For years these animals ate and walked over native rain forest plants，hut the fences have helped reverse（逆 转）this damage．Now native plants grow in places that were bare rock only a short time ago．
    In some cases biological control helps to solve the exotic species problems．It is the science of controlling one invader with another．In the early 1900s，several exotic predators（肉食动物） were imported to Hawaii to eat a harmful exotic pest called the sugarcane leafhopper．The insect was destroying 70，000 tons of sugar a year，but the predators brought it under control．
    The efforts of these scientists and other people are vitally important．In Hawaii alone，10，000 different species of native plants and animals still need to be protected．Many of these are found nowhere else on earth．By stopping the spread of the biological invaders，we not only protect ourselves，but we also protect the many other native species that make our planet such a special place to live．
    63．This passage is mainly aboutA．
    A．the methods for preventing exotic species
    B．the effects of exotic invasion on Hawaii
    C．the problems faced by the Hawaiian economy
    D．the role of biologists in controlling native species
    64．Hawaii is at a great risk of invasion by exotic species，becauseC．
    A．many agriculture products grow there
    B．regular inspections of animals are useless
    C．millions of people go to Hawaii each year
    D．biological control efforts have not worked
    65．Which of the following statements is true？A
    A．Animals and products are put in quarantines before entering Hawaii．
    B．Trained dogs are used to examine passengers and their baggage．
    C．Livetraps and fences are set to protect exotic pigs and goats．
    D．Some exotic predators are imported to destroy invaders'food．
    66．What argument does the author make in the last paragraph？B
    A．Hawaii has the most unknown species of plants on earth．
    B．Humans have a responsibility to control exotic species．
    C．Scientists make the difference to the species protection．
    D．Species should be allowed to exist without human interruption．

    A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway，the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600，000curious tourists，including 30，000who stayed overnight，since opening seasonally 11years ago．Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin，dozens of couples will exchange vows （誓约） this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel，made entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs．

    4．As we know，most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money．But money is not all powerful．Money can't buy many things such as time and true love．There are 24 hours in a day．Sometimes when we are very happy，we wish that the period of happiness would last longer．But no matter what we do，or how much money we are willing to pay，we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours．On the other hand，when we are unhappy，money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly．True love is another thing which money cannot buy．Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much．Once he dies，he can give us no more love．Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before？Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love．Money can buy us diamond things，beautiful clothes，but never time and love．So money，after all，is not all powerful．
