    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
    注意：每空格1个单词。
    When we think about education and language learning, we are most likely to think of books. Although there are lots of language learning methods, many people still prefer to learn only by using books. So what are the advantages of learning a language from a book?
    Here are its advantages: firstly, you can take language books wherever you go conveniently and you can use them whenever you want. Secondly, they are easy to follow because the courses in them are usually planned for you in strict order starting from the most basic concepts to the more complex. Thirdly, if you are unsure of something, you can continue to work on it as quickly as you like. Lastly, books are likely to have a lot of vocabulary and a lot of topics so you will get great value out of a book with lots of materials in it.
    Using books to study a language has disadvantages, too. All textbooks and dictionaries usually include some kind of pronunciation guide. These are helpful when there is no other way to learn, but this can't help you practice your pronunciation. With an audio method, you can compare your pronunciation to that of a native speaker. Besides, some words are spoken faster in one sentence or slower in another, so the pronunciation of a word may change according to the emotion or feeling you want to convey. Also, books can’t actually help you hear the language with its unique rhythms spoken by native speakers. With an audio language learning method, you will be able to hear and understand the language better.
    Therefore, if you can supplemental（补充）your book with some other language tools, such as audio tapes, internet radio or resources such as music or television, you will have a much better chance of understanding the books' pronunciation guide and using it to get a good grasp of the spoken language.
    Title: One of the Language Learning 81.__________— Using Books
    Themes
    		To get a good grasp of the spoken language, we need to combine language learning books with an audio component
    82.__________
    		*It’s 83. __________ and easy to take books with you. You can use them at anytime.
    *It’s easy to 84. __________ books because they are arranged with the most basic information at the start to the more complicated concepts later on.
    *You can take your time with a book and use it at our own pace.
    *You will get great 85. __________ out of a book which 86. __________ lots of materials in it.
    Disadvantages

    More teachers are starting off the school year with letters to parents and students to introduce themselves and set a tone (基调) for the year．The letters are a good way to start positive communication with parents, several teachers told Education World．
    “I think it’s professional (专业的)，”said Dorothy Peselli, an English teacher at Sparta High School in Sparta, New Jersay, Peselli, who gives out the letters the first day of school, told Education World．“It gives parents an image of you as a professional．If you start communication off in a positive manner, you will have the parents on your side when you need them．”
    In her letter to parents, Peselli encourages them to call or e-mail her with specific concerns about their children．“I want to work as a team to make sure that your child becomes an independent lifelong learner,” Peselli wrote to parents last September．She also telephones the parents of all her students at the beginning of the year．
    Peselli includes with the letter a classroom handbook (手册)listing plans and rules ．And she requires that both parents and students read and sign statements (included in the letter!) that they read the handbook．The student letter also lists needed supplies and gives encouragement．“Please come to class ready to work and learn．This will be an exciting year for all of us,” it says
    Last year, Peselli taught at a different high school and parents there were “shocked”, but appreciative, that she had so much contact with them,“I received roses and a thank-you note from one boy and his mother”．Peselli said．She wished her own children’s teachers would take the time to write notes as well．“I never got a letter home from any of my daughter’s high school teachers．” she said, “It would be nice to know the background of some of the people who are teaching my daughter．”

    Every baby born a decade from now will have its genetic code (基因编码) mapped at birth, the head of the worlds’ leading genome sequencing (基因图谱) company has predicted.
    A complete DNA read – out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.
    This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.
    A baby’s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.
    Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side – effects.
    The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records.
    “Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone – and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.
    “People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.
    As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.
    64．In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about__________.
    A．the significant progress in medicine      
    B．the promise of a leading company
    C．the information of babies’ genes    
    D．the research of medical scientists
    65．Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?
    A．The delaying in discovering DNA.
    B．The risk of developing diseases at birth.
    C．The side – effects of medicine on patients.
    D．The letting out of personal genetic information.
    66．What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean?
    A．Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.
    B．Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.
    C．People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.
    D．people can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.
    67．What’s Dr Flatley’s attitude towards the technology?
    A．Tolerant.   B．Conservative.   C．Positive.   D．Doubtful.

    them. It pumps blood in and out through these doors by changing the size of the rooms so that th
    doors open and shut.
    The heart keeps stream of blood going all round the body and back again to itself. Everywhel the blood stream does two things: supplies the cells with food and oxygen and takes away the waste It is as if the blood kept the little fires in the cells burning and took away the ashes.

    Teachers have long said that success is its own reward. But these days, some students are finding that good grades can bring them cash and luxury gifts.
    In at least a dozen states this school year, students who bring home top marks can expect more than just thankfulness.
    The most ambitious experiment began in September, when seven states—Arkansas, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington—won spots in an Mobil?funded program that, in most cases, pays students $100 for each passing grade on advanced placement(AP) college?prep exams.
    It’s an effort to get low?income and minority students interested in the courses, says Tommie Sue Anthony, president of the Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science. “We still have students who are not sure of the value, who are not willing to take the courses.” she says, “Probably the motivation will make a difference with those students.”
    Gregg Fleisher of the National Math and Science Initiative, which runs the seven?state program, says the effort is modeled on a program adopted by Dallas in the 1995-1996 school year that saw AP course?taking jump obviously. That program is now statewide.
    While many educators would be against offering kids cash for good grades, Fleisher and others say the idea is simple. “It’s an encouragement to get them to basically make the right decision and choose a more strict class.” he says, “This teaches them that if they work at something very hard and have a lot of support, they can do something they didn’t think they could do.”
    An analysis of the Texas program last month by Cornell economist C.Kirabo Jackson found that it linked to a 30% rise in the number of students with high SAT and ACT scores and an 8% rise in college?going students.
    (Notes:1.SAT:美国学术能力评估考试; 2.ACT:美国大学入学考试。)
    51.What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A.Success is its own reward.           B.Success makes a difference.
    C.Good grades deserves gratitude.      D.A new motivation for students.
    52.What’s the purpose of the experiment?
    A.To get relatively poor students interested in their studies.
    B.To help poor students to keep on with education.
    C.To offer poor students luxury gifts on their birthdays.
    D.To make an effort to raise the value of money.
    53.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A.Students who top at college?prep exams get $100.
    B.The program was probably first adopted by Dallas.
    C.The program has been going on half a dozen states this year.
    D.The program didn’t have any effect on student’s achievements.
    54.What is the writer’s attitude toward offering kids cash for good grades?
    A.Favorable.     B.Worried.        C.Opposed.          D.Confident.
    55.According to the passage, the program_______.
    A.makes everything possible            B.encourages students to study harder
    C.helps students choose right classes     D.teaches students to spend money

    The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie．
    The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths backed by the Mayan calendar．It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X---or Nibiru---heads toward or collides with the Earth．
    Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’s existence, but the US space agency condemned such stories as an “Internet hoax”．“There is no factual basis for these claims,” NASA said in a question-and-anwser posting on this website．“If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye．Obviously, it does not exist．Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted．“After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years,” added NASA．
    There is another planet, Eris, floating in space．But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA．
    Earlier theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar．
    NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward．
    And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible（unimportant）”, NASA said．
    “And while comets and asteroids （小行星） have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare,” NASA noted．The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago, resulting in the end of dinosaurs．
    “We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs,” the space agency said．
    49．______ played a key role in the spread of the rumors．
    A．A new book               B．The Internet and a new Hollywood movie
    C．NASA                   D．An Indian calendar
    50．We can infer that ______．
    A．people didn’t take the rumor seriously
    B．Planet X --- or Nibiru does exist
    C．astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten years
    D．the rumor caused a panic among some people
    51．NASA thinks that Eris ______．
    A．might have a threat to the Earth     B．doesn’t have any threat to the Earth
    C．is too far away to be visible       D．is similar to our planet, where life might exist
    52．Which of the following is the best title?
    A．New Hollywood movie 2012
    B．December 21, 2012, Not the end of the world
    C．End of the ancient Mayan calendar

    A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigationsystems powered by the sun can pro-duce more food and money for villagers． The study-in Benin found that solar - powered pumpsare effective in 8upplying water, especially during the long dry season．
    Sub - Saharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security． The United Na-tions Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more"than one biillion of the world' s peo-ple faced hunger last year．Around 265 million of them live'south of the Sahara Desert:  Lack of  rainfallis one oftheir main causes offood shortages．．
    Jennifer Bumey from Stanford University in Califomia led the study．The research team helped build three solar - powered drip irrigation -（滴灌） ,systems in northem Benin． Between 30 and 35 women used each system to pump water from the ground or a stream．Each woman was responsible for farming her own 120 sqrurre meters of land． They also farmed other land  collectively．
    The solar - powered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two tons of vegetables per montb． During the first year, the women．kept a monthly average of almost rune kilograms of vegetables for home use．They sold the surplus produce at local markets． The eamings greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine months． Peo- ple in the'two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more servingsof yegetables per day．But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider effect．
    The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional methods like carrying water in buckets． The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also  increased, though not as much．The researchers note that only four percent of the croplamd in sub - Saharan Africa is irrigated． Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first． But    the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline,  diesel  or kerosene． And solar power is environmentally friendly．
    66．Food security in Sub - Saharan Africa is insufficient mainly because of
    A．lack of rainfall         B．limitation of farmland
    C． a small crop variety   D．little sunlight
    67．From the third paragraph we know that _______．
    A．water is wasted by using the system
    B． the farmers imgate the land together
    C． all farmers use irrigation systems in northem Benin
    D． the solar - powered systems take up more manpower
    68．The underlined word "surplus" in the 4th paragraph most probably means_______
    A．special             B．unnecessary      C．extra      D．abandoned
    69．Usinf．solar power to pump water has advantages EXCEPT that
    A．solar energy has higher cost at first
    B．solar power helps to protect environment
    C．solar power helps farmers increase eanungs
    D． solar energy can be more economical in the long run
    70．What can be the best title for the text?
    A．Manpower affects rainfallin Africa

    Could we "terraform" Mars —that is, change its frozen, thin-aired surface into something more friendly and Earthlike? Should we? The first question has a clear answer: Yes, we probably could．Spacecraft, including the ones now exploring Mars, have found evidence that it was warm in its youth, with rivers flowing into vast seas．And right here on Earth, we've learned how to warm a planet: just add greenhouse gases to its atmosphere．Much of the CO2 that once warmed Mars is probably still there, in frozen dirt and polar ice caps, and so is the water．
    Most of the work in terraforming, says NASA scientist Chris Mackay, would be done by life itself． "You don't build Mars," Mackay says．"You just warm it up and throw some seeds．" Powerful greenhouse gases could be produced from elements in dirt and air on Mars and blown into the atmosphere; by warming the planet, they would release the frozen CO2, which would quicken the warming and increase atmospheric pressure to the point where liquid water could flow．Meanwhile, says botanist James Graham of the University of Wisconsin, human settlers could seed the red rock with a succession （系列） of ecosystems ?first bacteria and lichens （地衣）, which survive in Antarctica, later mosses （苔藓）, and after one thousand years or so, redwoods．Getting breathable oxygen levels out of those forests, though, could take thousands of years．
    However, Mars is in no immediate danger．Some space scientists recently recommended going to the moon or an asteroid （小行星） first, and pointed out the space agency lacks the funds to go anywhere．It didn't estimate the cost of gardening a dead planet．
    72．What is the most essential to make Mars fit for living?
    A．Turn ice into flowing water．          B．Clean the dirty atmosphere．
    C．Make the atmosphere more suitable．    D．Go to the moon or an asteroid first．
    73．What does the author think of the idea ofterraforming Mars?
    A．We could do it．                            B．We couldn't do it．
    C．We should do it．                           D．We shouldn't do it．
    74．In the botanist's opinion, man needs to __________.
    A．enable Mars to clean its atmosphere
    B．build a greenhouse on Mars
    C．send some people to settle on Mars
    D．cultivate ecosystems from lower to higher life form
    75．What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Making Mars the New Earth．           B．A Good Way to Change the Universe
    C．Humans' Great Power．                     D．Terrible Science and Technology．
