    8．One of India's top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses，saying addiction to surfing，gaming and blogging was affecting students'performance，making them lonely and even suicidal．
    Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology （IIT） in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them．"Now，a student doesn't even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet，"said Prakash Gopalan，dean of Student Affairs．"The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone．This is not healthy in our opinion．"
    IITMumbai，with about 5，000 students，is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world．They are also a talent pool for global technology giants．But their hard courses，tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students．Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students，and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years．Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies，but many also use it to surf，chat，download movies and music，blog and for gaming．
    "Starting Monday，Internet access will be banned between 11 p．m．and 12：30 p．m．at IITMumbai's 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells．"Gopalan said．But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated．"Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby （摇篮曲） to go to sleep．"said Rajiv，an electronics student．

    25．According to the text，the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely toD．
    A．perform well in studies                  
    B．participate in social activities
    C．know their classmates better            
    D．feel lonely and even suicidal
    26．The underlined word"dysfunctional"in Paragraph 3 most probably means"C"．
    A．unpopular       
    B．meaningful          
    C．abnormal    
    D．exciting
    27．What measures have been taken in IITMumbai？D
    A．Students must go to bed before 11 p．m．
    B．Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus．
    C．Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories．
    D．Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings．
    28．We may infer from the last paragraph thatB．
    A．all electronics students hate the banning order
    B．some students complain about the banning order
    C．there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since
    D．more students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet．

    分析 由于网络对学生的生活和学习产生了巨大的影响，印度工学院限制学生上网，鼓励学生走出宿舍，积极参加社会活动．

    解答 25．答案是D．细节理解题，根据第一段句子saying addiction to surfing，gaming and blogging was affecting students'performance，making them lonely and even suicidal．学生整日沉迷于上网、玩电脑游戏和写博客，影响了他们的学习成绩，并助长了他们内心的孤独感和自杀倾向．所以答案选D．
    26．答案是C．词义猜测题，根据前文句子But their hard courses，tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students，可见给他们的生活带来的影响是不好的，depressive"压抑的"与dysfunctional是并列的，应该是"变态的，反常的"，所以答案选C．
    27．答案是D．细节理解题．根据短文第后一段内容"从周一开始，学校在校内的13个宿舍实施限制上网措施，每晚11点至12：30这一时段网络将被关闭，以此来鼓励学生早睡、并试图用这种办法促使他们走出宿舍．"所以答案选D．
    28．答案是B．推理判断题，短文最后一段提到：这一举措实施的并不顺利，学生们说他们不喜欢自己的生活受管制．其中电子系的学生拉吉维说："现在我们得听着摇篮曲入睡了．"由此推测学生中有抱怨情绪．所以答案选B．

    14．If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts，how would you go about it？There's a fair chance that you'd be doing it wrong．
    One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one，we don't have perfect insight （洞察力） into how to get the best from it．This is partly because of flaws （缺陷） in our ability to think about our own thinking．Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings'mental blind spots．
    One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning．We're actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best．
    Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment，where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words．So，for example，they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word"mashua"the correct response was"boat"．They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz，but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn．After the pairs had all been learnt，there would be a final test a week later．
    Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list，test ourselves and then repeat this cycle，dropping items we got right．This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt．It's a plan that seems to make perfect sense，but it's a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly．
    Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways，and compared their success-for example，one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right，while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers．On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic．While dropping items from study didn't have much of an effect，the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly．
    It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory，not trying to consolidate （巩固） them in there by further study．Moreover，dropping items entirely from your revision，which is the advice given by many study guides，is wrong．You can stop studying them if you've learnt them，but you should keep testing what you've learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam．
    So the evidence has a moral for teachers：there's more to testing than finding out what students know-tests can also help us remember．
    63．According to the passage，we often fail to remember facts becauseD．
    A．we ignore our weakness in memorizing things
    B．we don't understand well what we are learning
    C．we don't know where our metal blind spots are
    D．we take improper ways to memorize for good ones
    64．The researchers'experiment was intended toB．
    A．confirm we don't know how to learn effectively
    B．find out how we can consolidate our knowledge better
    C．distinguish effects of memory in learning different languages
    D．prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing
    65．What does the author believe leads to a good memory？A
    A．Constant measure of your knowledge．
    B．Frequent revision of what you learn．
    C．Firm abandonment of what you're poor at．
    D．Strong desire for grasping new knowledge．
    66．The proper title for the passage isC．
    A．An experiment on memory
    B．A concept of human memory
    C．A way to improve your memory
    D．A discovery of a mental blind spot．

    13．India was once part of the British Empire，but thanks to modern technology and a booming economy，it has turned the tables on its former colonial master．Indian tutors are helping to teach math to British children over high-speed Internet connections．Early results suggest the idea is improving exam results．But not everyone is happy at this"outsourcing"of tutoring．
       It's 3：30，and pupils at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school maths lessons．
       Five time zones-thousands of kilometers away-their math tutors are also arriving for class．High-speed Internet has made it possible for Indian tutors to teach British pupils in real time．Each pupil gets a dedicated one-to-one online tutor．The students work with activities on their computer screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutor．
       The class teacher，Altus Basson，says he has seen an improvement in results．"There are some children who've really rocketed in their results．Children who struggleto focus in class focus a lot better on the laptops．The real advantage is that each child gets a focused activity and a single tutor，"he said．
       Such individualized teaching is the core idea of Brightspark Education，the company that provides the online tutoring，says founder Tom Hooper．"Children today feel very confident online； they feel very engaged； they feel very in control．And that's half the battle with education．Give them control，make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and you'll see them start to improve and embrace it，"he said．
        Raynham Primary School is among the first in Europe to try online tutoring．At between 20and25 an hour，it's about half the cost of face-to-face coaching．But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning．Kevin Courtney is deputy General Secretary of Britain's National Union of Teachers．"We think，there's a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child whether it's a whole class or whether it's one-to-one．You need that immediacy of feedback and we're not convinced that that can happen across an Internet connection．In one of the wealthiest．countries in the world，we think that we can afford to have teachers with genuine emotional connection there with the
    children，"he said．
        Brightspark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement regular teaching．The company says its service does not represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain．
        Parents say they're very satisfied with the results they've seen．And what about the children？Children："I love it!"I love it!"I hate maths!"So math--or，as the British call it，maths-is still not everyone's favorite subject even with the latest technology to teach it．
    49．What do we know about the online tutoring？B
       A．Indian tutors are helping to teach math in Britain．
       B．Tutors and students are in different places．
       C．An online tutor helps several students at the same time．
       D．Tutors and students communicate by telephone．
    50．What can we learn about Brightspark Education？D
       A．It shows a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain．
       B．It can take place of the regular teaching．
       C．It only pays attention to math teaching．
       D．It emphasizes the individualized teaching．
    51．According to Kevin Courtne，C．
       A．online tutoring will represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain
       B．online tutoring has a great influence on British．
       C．the emotional connection between a teacher and a child is important
       D．immediacy of feedback can happen across an Internet connection
    52．What's the best title for this passage？D
     A．A New Teaching Pattern                     
     B．Indian Teachers and British Students
     C．To Learn Maths with the Latest Technology    
     D．Indian Tutors Teach British Kids Online．

    Top tip：Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip．It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of great landscapes．The gas station is occasionally seen．
