    However important we may regard school life to be, we can’t ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can’t be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.
    Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math.
    Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid the interchanged of ideas between school and home.
    Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing he family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
    If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work.
    Too often, however, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children’s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ competence.
    小题1:The underlined phrase “keep parents apprised of” (Line 1, Para. 2) probably means to let parents         .
    A．judgeB．knowC．designD．develop
    小题2:What is the purpose of the schools’ informal tea and interviews?
    A．To improve the relationship between teacher and parents.
    B．To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
    C．To report students’ misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
    D．To help develop good communication between school and home.
    小题3:Why does the author provide all example in Paragraph 4？
    A．To help parents to know the importance of home activities.
    B．To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
    C．To prove parents all non professional advisors.
    D．To advice parents to teach kids math at home.
    小题4:From the passage we learn that the author      .
    A．thinks teachers should do better as professionals
    B．is worried about children’s performance at home
    C．is satisfied with the present state of school education
    D．believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted@m

    Technology has utterly transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.
    According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study reveals, for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
    From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls sustain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships.
    On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy(治疗) center. As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist(临床医学家). After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their SUV, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones.
    But, alas, not to each other.
    51. What does the passage lead you to believe?
    A. Americans are more socially connected today.
    B. Americans are more socially isolated today.
    C. Technology plays a bigger role in American society.
    D. Americans don’t make good use of technology.
    52. Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans?
    A. Age.              B. Education.                C. Skin color.               D. Sex.
    53. The author himself _______.
    A. has a wider range of friends because of technology
    B. has failed to take advantage of technology
    C. can only find true friendship through the Internet
    D. can’t make true friends in actual life
    54. What is true about the mother and son in the passage?
    A. They came for therapy in the same car.
    B. They were quite close to each other.
    C. There was not much communication between them.
    D. They preferred talking to each other on cell phones.
    55. The author probably feels ________ with the mother and son.
    A. puzzled         B. disappointed       C. amused                 D. surprised

    The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting（插入）flexible needles （针）into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.
    To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.
    Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist（手腕）, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
    A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas（然而，反之） the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.
    1．Acupuncture is a kind of _______.
    A. medical needles          B. medical equipment
    C. medical technique        D. medical examination
    2. To perform the acupuncture skillfully, one _______.
    A. has to learn how to insert the needles accurately in the right place
    B. should insert the needles where the pain is to be prevented
    C. needs to be trained for a short period of time
    D. must use fewer needles than in the past
    3. According to the 3rd paragraph, we can infer _______.
    A. people must insert a needle in the wrist to prevent the pain in the mouth
    B. people come to realize the shortcomings of the acupuncture
    C. people are convinced to use the acupuncture to cure diseases
    D. people need to make deeper research into the acupuncture
    4.Nowadays, more and more people prefer having acupuncture because _______.
    A. acupuncture has no side effects after the operation
    B. acupuncture costs them less than having chemicals
    C. chemicals usually cause many more deaths
    D. they want to protect the traditional Chinese medicine
    5. The author of the passage tends to be ________ acupuncture.
    A. strongly against      B. in favor of     C. doubtful about      D. uninterested in

    D
    　　Beyond two or three days，the world’s best weather forecasts are doubtful, and beyond six or seven they are worthless.
    　　The Butterfly Effect is the reason. For small pieces of weather—to a global forecaster，small can mean thunder—storms and blizzards（暴风雪）—any prediction becomes worse rapidly. Errors and uncertainties increase，from dust devils and storms up to continent-size eddies（旋涡）that only satellites can see.
    　　The modern weather models work with net-like points sixty miles apart，and even so，some starting data have to be guessed，since ground stations and satellites cannot see everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors placed one foot apart，rising at one-foot intervals all the way to the top of the atmosphere. Suppose every sensor gives perfectly accurate readings of temperature，pressure，humidity（温度）, and any other data a weatherman would want. Exactly at noon a powerful computer takes all the data and calculates what will happen at each point at 12.01, then 12.02，then 12.03…the computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton will have sun or rain one month away. At noon the spaces between the sensors will hide fluctuations（波动）that the computer will not know about. By 12.01，those fluctuations will already have created small errors one foot away. Soon the errors will have added to the ten-foot scale，and so on up to the size of the globe.
    63．A weather forecast ____________ in the world.
    A．is reliable within one or two days
    B．is doubtful beyond 24 hours
    C．becomes useless beyond two or three days
    D．is still worthwhile in seven days
    64．Usually there is a weather sub-station____________.
    A．in every city 　　　　　　　　　　B．every 60 miles
    C．between two cities 　　　　　　　 D．every one foot
    65．Which of the following statements is true？
    A．People have not placed sensors one foot apart in the atmosphere.
    B．Scientists have already put sensors one foot apart in the world.
    C．Every sensor gives perfectly accurate data a weatherman wants.
    D．Ground weather stations and satellites can see every place on earth.
    66．Our computer will not be able to know about fluctuations because ____________.
    A．the sensors are not good enough
    B．they are hidden by the spaces between the sensors
    C．they are too far away
    D．they move very fast

    In most situations, light helps us see. But when it comes to looking at the night sky, light is actually a kind of pollution. It prevents our view of some of life’s most striking sights: stars, planets, and even galaxies.
    “When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars. I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,” says Robert gent, “Now in most big cities kids can’t see the stars like I did.”
    Normally, about 2,500 individual stars are visible to the naked eye without using any special equipment. But because of light pollution, you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities. Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy (星系) with the naked eye. Those people live far away from the lights of big cities, office building, and shopping malls.
    Fortunately, there’s an inexpensive and useful way. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky, and use lower brightness levels, we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night skies. Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night, making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.
    Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife. Migrating (迁移) birds sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness, flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion. Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won’t approach bright lights. Too much light at night may even affect human health. For all these reasons, researchers are working on ways to use light only when and where they are truly needed. Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.
    小题1:According to the text, using our naked eyes, ______________.
    A．people in remote areas can see more stars than those in big cities
    B．over one third Americans can see our own galaxy
    C．about one in three Americans in big cities can see our own galaxy
    D．Americans can only see 200 to 300 stars
    小题2:Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly to _________.
    A．save the electricityB．make sure of cities’ safety
    C．let you count the number of starsD．avoid much light pollution
    小题3:In how many ways will the light pollution do harm?
    A．OneB．TwoC．ThreeD．Four
    小题4:The underlined word “exhaustion” in the last paragraph means “_________”.
    A．air pollutionB．tirednessC．breathD．brightness

    Educators and explorers Will Steger, John Stetson, Elizabeth Andre and Abby Fenton joined four Inuit hunters on a 1,200-mile, four-month-long dog-seld expedition (考察队) across the Canadian Arctic’s Baffin Island.
    The expedition is travelling with four Inuit dog teams over traditional hunting paths, up frozen rivers, through steep-sided bays, over glaciers and ice caps, and across the sea ice to reach some of the most remote Inuit village of the world.
    The travelers wake up early around 6 a. m . During the course of the day they are able to travel about 17 miles. They hope to be able to travel 25 miles or 30 miles per day. They manage their body temperature by adding or taking off layers depending on their level activity.
    Team member Elizabeth Andre had to leave the expedition because of frostbite(冻伤) . She was disappointed to miss part of the expedition, but leaving the field was the right decision to protect her fingers from any more damage. She will rejoin the expedition in Pangnirtung, the next village. Elizabeth feels how tough the weather condition can be in the Arctic. She is beginning to appreciate how much skill and knowledge of the environment the Inuit people have.
    The expedition team plan to eat a combination of country foods from Iglulik, fresh meat hunted on the trail, and dried food packed out from Steger’s homeland in Minnesota.
    The expedition members have already begun to notice the effects of global warming. Theo, a native Inuit traveling with the team, points out that “Looking at what we saw today －we saw that there haven’t been caribou(驯鹿) tracks for a long time. Usually, you look out of your window in Iqaluit and you see them. Now numbers are down”. Theo was born in an igloo(冰屋)and has lived in Inuit for most of his life.
    49. The main purpose of the expedition is to_______.
    A. experience the hard life of Inuit
    B. appreciate the beautiful environment of Inuit village
    C. do some research about the Inuit’s life style
    D. explore the effects of global warming
    50.          of the expedition team members didn't miss any part of the expedition.
    A. Four       B. Six       C. Seven      D. Eight
    51. The author gives an example of the caribou to show that_______.
    A. global warming has had bad effects on the environment there
    B. caribous are dying out because of the cold weather
    C. the Inuit hunters have killed too many wild animals
    D. good measures haven’t been taken to protect wild animals
    52. From the text we can learn that_______.
    A. the expedition team will walk across the Arctic
    B. the expedition members only eat their packed food
    C. the final stop for the expedition team is Pangnirtung
    D. traveling to Inuit villages needs skill and knowledge of the environment.

    When the research on the effect of electric fields on E．coli was begun in 1962, it was essential that a biologist–specifically, a microbiologist–contributed to the project．She does not want her name used because she did not become a scientific researcher for fame, but rather for the challenge of putting pieces of a scientific puzzle together．
    As a girl, she was inspired by the work of great scientists: she read the story of the cure of malaria in the Panama Canal; she also read a biography of Madame Curie．These accounts inspired her to pursue a career in scientific research．After high school, she worked for the Michigan Department of Health, where she did research in biology and microbiology．There, her colleagues saw her talent and encouraged her to pursue science as a career．She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University in 1948 in medical technology．
    When she began working at Michigan State in the early 1960s,
    she was balancing the demands of scientific research with the needs
    of her family．At that time both of her children were in school．She
    would work in the lab in the morning while they were at school,
    go home to see them at lunch, return to the lab for the afternoon, go
    home for dinner, and return to the lab in the evening, if necessary．
    At that time, there were fewer women scientists working than
    there are today, but she encountered several in her career．At the
    Michigan Department of Health, many of her colleagues were women and, consequently, she did not feel isolated because of her gender–nor did she feel that she was treated differently because she was a woman．      
    While working at Michigan State, she also felt that she was treated with respect by her peers．Her colleagues, among them doctors and Ph．D．chemists, all treated her as an equal．On the whole, she believes that there is not a great deal of difference between men and women in science．
    56．Why does the woman scientist refuse to let out her name?
    A．Because she is a shy lady．
    B．Because she doesn’t mind her fame．    
    C．Because she never takes pride in her research．
    D．Because she never works for her fame．
    57．What is the noble lady scientist really interested in?
    A．The life stories of other women scientists．
    B．Biology and microbiology．
