    In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!
    The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love   36   the next week and tell them you love them. It   37  to be someone you have never   38   those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t   39   like a very tough assignment,   40   you stop to realize that most of the men  were over 35 and were   41  in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done   42  this was a very threatening assignment for some.
    At the   43   of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to   44   what happened when they told someone they loved them.

It was telling me that I   51   exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated   52   and really never resolved it since that one. We   53  seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But   54   then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last.

    The new model is the highly interactive（互动的）learning model. We could also call it the conversational model, or the tutorial model. It is computer based, with the interaction between the student, or a small group of students, and learning programs are like the conversation between a student and a skilled tutor. Distance learning will be the main delivery method.
    Student interaction with the learning material on the computer will use the student's natural language; it will seem like a conversation between a student and a human tutor. This is the key point of highly interactive, or conversational, learning units. Programs will ask questions in the student’s native language, and respond reasonably to free-form student input. Multiple choice and pointing will seldom be used; they often do not allow individualization (个体化) of education.
    An important aspect of this model is that the computer will frequently store information about the student, about problems and about how far individual students have progressed. These records will be used often within the programs. Thus when a student returns to the learning activity, the computer knows about that student and knows where to begin the new part.
    Global education is critical for the future, to get rid of poverty, corruption (腐败), violence and war, to solve major problems such as the lack of drinkable water, and to insure a happy life for all. Education should no longer be limited to the wealthy of the world, but should be available to everyone.
    In the new distance learning environment learning can take place in markets, libraries, public buildings, learning centers, and the home. Gradually schools and universities will play a smaller role in learning, both because better learning can be delivered through such highly interactive material, and because such learning will be less costly for the individual student. Motivation (动机)is particularly important in a mastery-based distance learning, as the usual threats of traditional classrooms such as that of low grades are no longer possible.
    Voice input will probably be the mode(模式) for this interaction. The new voice input systems from several companies are useful, cheap, and speaker independent in highly interactive learning. Keyboards may not be needed. Speech is a natural way for humans to communicate.
    Students will work in small peer groups, about four. Other contacts with people, learning circles, will be possible, directly or electronically.
    68. What is not the new model also called?
    A. interactive model       B. conversational model  
    C. tutorial model          D. linguistic model
    69. What does the model often use?
    A. individualization of education            B. multiple choice and pointing
    C. questions in students’ native language      D. fixed-form student input
    70. What do computers detect(检查) students about?
    A. Their future achievements      B. Their intelligences  
    C. Their problems               D. Their families
    71. According to the passage, distance learning ____________ .
    A. is still expensive for ordinary students   
    B. will take place mainly in classrooms.
    C. will play a more important role in students’ learning.   
    D. will still affect badly on the low-graded students

    A Subway Superhero
    Wesley Autrey can't fly, but he is still being called a real-life Superman! Last week, the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter, 20, from being hit by a train. The train was entering a subway station in New York City. The young man had fallen from the station's platform and onto the train tracks a few feet below.
    Autrey, a construction worker and Navy veteran(老兵), was with his two young daughters when he saw Hollopeter fall. Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks. He then rolled himself and Hollopeter into a gap, or opening, between the rails. Autrey used his own body to protect the young man.
    Five of the train’s cars passed over the two before stopping completely. The two men were both unharmed. Hollopeter’s stepmother, Rachel Hollopeter, called Autrey an “angel”. Autrey visited the New York Film Academy student in the hospital on Wednesday.
    For his bravery, Autrey was given a hero's welcome at City Hall. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (铜奖章）. It is the city'’s highest award for achievements by its citizens. Mayor Bloomberg called Audrey “ a great man-a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."
    After the ceremony at City Hall, a limousine (豪华轿车)took Autrey to a meeting with multimillionaire businessman Donald Trump. Trump awarded Autrey with $ 10,000. The heroic father also received $ 5,000 from the New York Film Academy, a trip to Disney World, and one year of free sub way rides.
    Even after all this attention; Autrey still doesn't see himself as a Superman.” I did it out of a split-second reaction," Autrey said on CBS' The Early Show. "And if I had to do it again, I probably would."

    C. the Bronze Medallion                   D. a cheque of $5,000
    59. It can be inferred that if Autrey met with another accident like this one, he
    A. would not do it again for he was afraid of losing his own life
    B. would do it again for getting another piece of Bronze Medallion
    C. would do it again so as to get another 15000-dollar cheque as a prize

    In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”
    Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for them to solve this problem.
    The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.
    Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.
    District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools.
    At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.
    In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.
    Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.
    “We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”
    At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”
    46. What has happened to the Vrain School District?
    A. A huge financial problem has arisen.
    B. Many schools there are mismanaged.
    C. Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.
    D. Many administrative personnel have been laid off.（A）
    47. How did the residents in the Vrain School District respond to the budget shortage?
    A. They felt somewhat helpless about it.
    B. They accused those responsible for it.
    C. They made their efforts to help solve it.
    D. They demanded a thorough investigation.（C）
    48. In the view of State Treasurer Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is ________.
    A. unavoidable       B. unbelievable       C. insolvable        D. invisible（B）
    49. Why did Coffman request an investigation?
    A. To see if the financial problem was covered up on purpose
    B. To find out how serious the consequence of the case would be.
    C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent.
    D. To stop the voters approving the $212 million bond issue.（A）
    50. Three high school students started a website in order to ________.
    A. attract greater public attention to their needs
    B. appeal to the public for contributions and donations
    C. expose officials who neglected their duties
    D. keep people properly informed of the crisis

       In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
    For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
    Robot Helpers
    Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
    Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
    So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
    Telephones of Tomorrow
    In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
    Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
    And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
    64. The whole passage is mainly about ________________.
    A. predictions that have come true.
    B. predictions that haven’t come true.
    C. why predictions don’t come true easily.
    D. what technology will bring about.
    65. The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
    A. predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
    B. the future isn’t always easy to guess.
    C. not all past predictions have come true.
    D. many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared.
    66. The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
    A. wonderful   B. stupid    C. practical    D. strange
    67. What does the author think of the flying car?
    A. It is too difficult to imagine.
    B. It is too crazy an idea.
    C. It is likely to be made.
    D. It is often reported in the news.

    C
    Let These Plants Swat the Bugs for You
    Some plants get so hungry they eat flies, spiders, and even small frogs. What’s more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.
    You’ve probably seen a Venus’ flytrap. It’s often sold in museum gift stores, department stores, and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks（茎）are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger（触发）hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.
    The Venus’ flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society’s Newsletter. Note: Despite any science-fiction stories（科幻小说）you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
    Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some form of insects , including flies, butterflies, and moths. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants—well, most of the time.
    All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis（光合作用）. Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen（氮）. Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can’t obtain any other way. Why?
    Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. “Meat-eating” plants can’t. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity（酸度）. So they’ve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize（施肥）them! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly.
    64. Venus flytrap      
    A. is a small plant which grows in a container. 
    B. is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily.
    C. can attract, kill, digest and absorb some form of insects.
    D. grows 6-8 inches tall  
    65. From the passage, we know      .
    A. “meat-eating” plants are found on every continent.
    B. all green plants get nitrogen from the soil.
    C. bug-catching leaves make “meat-eating” different from other plants.
    D. some “meat-eating” plants in the rainforest do danger to humans.
    66. “Meat-eating” plants grow very slowly,      .
    A. so you’d better fertilize them   
    B. probably because the source of nitrogen is cut off.
    C. simply because they can’t absorb nitrogen from the soil 
    D. and then they will die slowly.
    67. Which of the following is true?
    A. “Meat-eating” plants look and act like other green plants.
    B. No insects, no “meat-eating” plants.
    C. The reason why Venus flytrap needs flies is that it needs to get nutrient from them.
    D. Green plants make sugar at night.
    68. What does the underlined word nutrient in paragraph 5 probably mean?
    A. 化学物    B.营养物    C. 肥料      D. 氮氢化合物

    B
    Particles from car exhausts generate more persistent clouds but less rain, new research suggests. Furthermore, putting more of these particles into the atmosphere reduces the low-level winds, which could reduce the amount of wind power available in very polluted regions. The dry but populated regions may therefore suffer a triple blow as a result of vehicle pollution：less water, less hydropower and less wind energy.
    Scientists studied the effects of aerosol（浮质）pollution from cars and industry. They correlated satellite data on wind speeds and the amount of aerosol particles in the atmosphere above the South Coast Basin in California and above China. Results showed that higher concentrations of aerosols were closely associated with slower ground winds. Scientists then used computer models to support the idea that there was a cause and effect relationship behind this correlation.
    Particles floating in the atmosphere block energy from the Sun, preventing it from warming the surface of the Earth. Cooler surface temperatures during the day means the low—level and slow moving air does not rise up and mix with the faster winds at higher altitudes. Slower winds also induce less evaporation from oceans, rivers and lakes. And finally, once clouds have formed, they store less moisture in the form of rain. This is because raindrops form around small particles— dust, for instance, or pollution. With more particles in the atmosphere, it takes longer for enough water to condense（凝结）onto a particle to form a raindrop.
