    In most western countries, on April Fool’s Day，people often play _____  trick on each other; children especially have great  _______  fun.

    A．a；aB．the；theC．不填；aD．a；不填

    D

    解析试题分析：考查冠词。第一空是固定词组paly a trick on="play" tricks on作弄…；欺骗；第二空后的名词fun是一个不可数名词，have fun玩的开心；句意：在大部分西方国家，在愚人节这一天，人们经常相互捉捉弄，尤其是孩子玩得非常开心。故D正确。
    考点：考查冠词
    点评：本题着重理解定冠词和不定冠词的区别，定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a/an表示泛指；对于冠词特指和泛指的考察是历年来高考的必考点，平时的学习要多进行积累，仔细分析特指还是泛指。同时，更为重要的是要多去积累习惯表达，特殊表达，这也是近几年高考习惯考的地方。总而言之，多解题、多理解、多积累才是关键。

    Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthday celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That is a different story.

    Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.

    Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.

    Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.

    1. Growing up is a wonderful thing because ____________.

    A. people can celebrate their birthday              B. people can receive many presents    

    C. people can become more mature and wiser      D. people will feel younger at heart

    2.We can infer from the second paragraph that __________.

    A. different countries have different opinions on the old age

    B. American older people often joke about their old age

    C. American culture is very young

    D. young people lack experience and wisdom

    3. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

    A. The golden years can make the old earn lots of money.

    B. American social security benefits are not good.

    C. The old in America are leading a hard life.

    D. The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.

    4.What does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean?

    A. serious              B. disappearing slowly                 C. cool                  D. growing fast

    5. According to the text, which of the following is correct?

    A. The young are often discriminated in America.

    B. The young are more respected than the old in America.

    C. Growing old makes people feel proud in America.

    D. The old are more respected than the young in America.

    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 thoughts. 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 laptop, 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 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 evaluations 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 paragraph 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

    When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（light）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

    When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(disappointment)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

    For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.

    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist，who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

    1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.

    A．become serious about her study

    B．go to her friend’s house regularly
