    9．Thomas Adams first tried to change chicle（树胶）into rubber products，before making a chewing gum（口香糖）．Thomas Adams attempted to make toys，masks，rain boots，and bicycle tires out of the chicle from Mexican trees，but every experiment failed．Consequently Mr Thomas Adams intended to throw the remaining into the East River．

    7．Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions．It is a holiday paradise．The self-styled‘Ultimate Island'certainly has plenty for everyone．
    Where in the world？
    Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java．To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok．To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean，while to the north is the bali Sea．The most popular resort with hokidaymakeers is Ubud north of Sanur．
    When to go？
    Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of
    3℃（8℉）．The wet season is between October and April．The dry season is between May and September，and is the busiest time to visit the island as travellers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain．
    Beach
    Bali has a string of beaches，mainly in the south of the island．Head away from Bali's beaches and a totally different world awaits you．Ubud is an easily accessible jungle resort town with a good range of hotels，shops and restaurants．The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes．
    Family fun
    All of the resorts have plenty of facilities for families．In Ubud there is a monkey park，where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant．
    Eating out
    All of bali's holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist's taste，with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants．Indonesian bintang beer is very popular．
    Getting around
    There are a limited number of local buses．The other public transport is to take the local"bemo"minibuses．These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated on board，so it helps to speak a little of the local language．There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired．

    45．From the passage we learn that Bali isB．

    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．
