                                 Students and Technology in the Classroom
     I love my Blackberry-it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also
love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备)and truly communicate with
others.
     On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My
goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to
thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule -no
laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were
not happy.
     Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with
students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students
to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently
and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.
     I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student
satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,
they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
     I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I
hear a really good reason for the change. I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue
is just too sweet to give up.

1. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____.

A. the course material
B. others' misuse of technology
C. discussion topics
D. the author's class regulations

2. The underlined word "engage "in Para.4 probably means ____.

A. explore
B. accept
C. change
D. reject

3. According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____.

A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students' concentration on course evaluation

4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____

A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

1-4 DAAD

     [l]The harmful effects on children were summed up last year in a report by the National Research Council
and Institute of Medicine. Problems begin early, as the infants of depressed mothers cry more than other babies.
They have greater fear of strangers and less tolerance for frustration. Starting in preschool and across all stages
of childhood, they have more behavior problems at school and higher rates of depression and anxiety disorders.
     [2]By adolescence, children with depressed parents have poorer social relations than the teens of parents
____, and they're more likely to be dependent on alcohol and drugs. Depression in parents also is linked to more
behavior problems at school and higher rates of depression and anxiety disorders, according to studies in the
report.
     [3]And some harmful effects of growing up with a depressed parent appear to remain into adulthood. A
20-year study on kids of depressed parents found that those with depressed parents suffered about three times
the rate of anxiety disorders and depression by their 30s, and they were in poorer health than peers and much
more likely to be dependent on drugs and alcohol. The study, believed to be the longest ever done, was
published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 2006. These effects may not only be long-lasting but also
far-reaching. Serious depression affects about one in five American parents, and 15.6 million children live with
an adult who has had major depression in the last year.
     [4]As knowledge about the effects of parental depression has grown, so too has research into how to fight
those effects. Studies suggest, for example, that changing destructive parenting practices and teaching children
good coping strategies can make a big, positive difference in kids.

2. Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one? With a better understanding of the
    effects of depressed parents, research is also being conducted on how to prevent those effects.

     When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test,
or even the ability to do well in school. These are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far
more important. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test
of intelligence is not how much we know to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do.
     The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries
to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it,instead of about himself or what
it might cause to happen to him. He grapples (努力克服) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (善于应
变地), and if not confidently, at least hopefully; if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his
mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about
life, and one's self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to
suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different set of attitudes.
     Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they
are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with
it, embrace (捉住机会) it, unite himself with it. There is no wall, no barrier, between himself and life. On the
other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined
(倾向于) to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the
maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can't do something one way, he'll try another.
The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try
fails, he is through.
     Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand,or ten thousand,could in any three years of his life
learn as much. Grow as much in his understanding of the world around him,as every infant(婴儿)learns and
grows in his first three years. But what happens,as we grow older,to this extraordinary capacity for learning
and intellectual growth?What happens is that it is destroyed,and more than by any other one thing, it is
destroyed by the process that we misname education-a process that goes on in most homes and schools.

1. Which of the following is TRUE about an unintelligent child?

A. He/She rarely daydreams.
B. He/She takes the initiative (主动权).
C. He/She gives up easily.
D. He/She isn't afraid of failing.

2. The writer believes that "unintelligence" is _____.

A. similar to intelligence
B. less than intelligence
C. the common believes of most psychologists
D. a particular way of looking at the world

3. Why does the writer say that education is misnamed?

A. Because it takes place more in homes than in schools.
B. Because it discourages intellectual growth.
C. Because it helps dull children with their problems.
D. Because it helps children understand the world around them.

4. "There is more than one way to skin a cat". Which of the following maxim has a similar meaning to this one?

A. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again.
B. All work and no play make Johnny a dull boy.
C. Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.
D. Make hay while the sun shines.

5. "It is an entirely different set of attitudes." "It" in this sentence refers to _____.

A. intelligence
B. behavior
C. life
D. unintelligence

Humpback whales

     Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean.This is because they can make
impressive movements when they dive.The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale,
refers to the typical curve shape the whale's back forms as it dives.
     Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach.During breaching
the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly twothirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap.A
breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the
height of the breach.
     A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located
near the top of the head.It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 metres above the water.
     The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about twothirds of the way down
its back.Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body
length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes.These markings are like finger
prints: no two are the same.
     Humpback whales live in large groups.They communicate with each other through complex “songs”

Quick Facts
Size:	14m18m in length; 3050 tons in weight
Living environment:	Open ocean and shallow coastline waters
Migration:	From warm tropical (热带的) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat
Diet:	Shellfish, plants and fish of small size
Hunting:	Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish.The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.
Current state:	Endangered: it is estimated that there are about 50007500 humpback whales worldwide

1. According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale _____.
A. cannot survive in waters near the shore
B. doesn't live in the same waters all the time
C. lives mainly on underwater plants
D. prefers to work alone when hunting food
2. To make a breach, a humpback whale must _____.
A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the water
B. twist its body sideways to jump high
C. blow two streams of water
D. communicate with a group of humpbacks
3. From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale _____.
A. has its unique markings on its tail flukes
B. has black and white fingerprints
C. gets its name from the way it hunts
D. is a great performer due to its songs

      Young athletes from around the world will soon get their chance at Olympic gold. The International
Olympic Committee ( IOC ) voted Thursday to host the first-ever Youth Olympics.
     The Summer Games are planned to stage in August of 2010. The 12-day competition will feature
3,200 kids between the ages of 14 and 18. The Winter Games will be held in 2012 and are expected to
attract 1,000 athletes. Both games will take place every four years.
     Seeing the rise in childhood fatness, IOC president Jacques Rogge said he hopes the competitions will encourage young people to get off the couch and get into shape. Rogge also admitted that the IOC is
looking to pull in a younger television audience to the Olympics.
      In recent years, interest in the games among young people has fallen, with the average age of Olympic viewers on the rise. Rogge admitted that kids today are more interested in flashier( 浮华的 ) athletic
sports like the X Games, which stand for such sports as BMX freestyle, surfing, and Moto X Racing.
      The Olympics have tried to keep up with the competition by adding BMX-cross cycling, ski cross,
and snowboarding to the program. And the IOC is hoping to strengthen its fame among teens by adding
skateboarding in the 2012 London Olympics.
      The Youth Olympics are the IOC's latest attempt to draw the attention of young viewers. "Just as the
IOC has known, over our 100-plus years of living, how to move with the times---so we must now adapt
to meet the taste of today's young generation," he said.

1. According to the passage, the third Winter Youth Olympics will be held ______

A.  in 2012
B.  in 2016
C.  in 2020
D. in 2018

2. The aim of the Youth Olympics is to __________.

A. encourage young people to exercise more
B. meet the needs of some schools and parents
C. develop students' sense of competition
D. stress the importance of the Olympics

3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ?
A. When the Winter Youth Olympics will be held.
B. Where the Summer Youth Olympics will be held.
C. How long the Summer Youth Olympics will last.
D. When the Summer Youth Olympics will be held

4. The Summer Youth Olympics are the following except___________.

A. going to be held in London in August of 2012

     Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.
Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
     Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in
Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.
     In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand.
He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
     "Our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles
to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."
     The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the
scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the
motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
     Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to
disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example
is this wheelchair."
     He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a
technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
1. BCI is a technology that can ________.
A. help to update computer systems
B. help the disabled to recover
C. link the human brain with computers
D. control a person's thoughts
2. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A. By controlling his muscles.
B. By talking to the machine.
C. By using his mind
D. .By moving his hand.
3. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
D. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
D. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled

阅读理解

      Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy
science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only
have to share your children's curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of
seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about
schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in
silence. Finally I said, "Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about
science?"?
     After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"?
     This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. ?
      Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a
question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When
adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and
creative answers.
      Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in
with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.
     But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, "That's interesting" or "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more
questions or ideas.?
      Never push a child to "Think". It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your
telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find
the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your
disagreement.?
     Lastly, show; don't tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson
children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a
magnifying glass(放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most
    important thing for adults to do is _______.

A. to share the children's curiosity
B. to let them see the world around?
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment?

2. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word "lists" could best be replaced by _______.

A. any questions
B. questions from textbooks?
C. any problems
D. any number of questions?

3. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative
way if adults _______.

A. wait at least for three seconds after a question.
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question.?
C. tell them to answer the next day.
D. ask them to answer quickly.

4. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity
    except that adults should _______.

A. encourage their children to ask questions of their own?
B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves?
C. be patient enough when their children answer questions?
D. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts?
