Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons，research suggests．They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentration．
Professor Anne Bamford，of the University of the Arts，London， studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the UK．Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons．They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿動作) to answer the test questions successfully．
The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding，increased attention span．more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons．
Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film．Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影儀)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(動作) into classrooms．
But Danny Nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly．He said，“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting， I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意兒)．There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help，but most of the time，good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective．”
In the US，one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1．000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms．And the University of Caledonia．which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin．has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils．Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version．
【小題1】What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?

A．There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images．
B．Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes．
C．Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology．
D．3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology．
【小題2】Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D_____.
A．is of no help in classes
B．has a bright future in classes
C．is more practical than 2D models
D．may not be affordable for schools
【小題3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．3D technology will replace 2D models in the future．
B．Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before．
C．Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training．
D．3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado．
【小題4】The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_____.
A．a(chǎn)bsorbed B．a(chǎn)nnoyed
C．relaxed D．confused


【小題1】B
【小題2】D
【小題3】D
【小題4】A

解析試題分析：本文講述了3D影響在教學(xué)中的應(yīng)用，雖然有人提出反對意見，但研究表明了3D用于教學(xué)的有效性，提高了教學(xué)效果：提高了學(xué)生的記憶效果、理解能力和接受能力，而且在美國的科羅拉多州的一個學(xué)校已經(jīng)投入使用。
【小題1】推理題：根據(jù)文章前三段內(nèi)容可知3D用于教學(xué)中的有效性，可提高教學(xué)效果。故選B。

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities (設(shè)施)for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes (樣品); they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),” Mark. McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
【小題1】How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?

A．They lost balance in excitement. B．they showed strong disbelief.
C．they expressed little interest. D．they burst into cheers.
【小題2】Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A．Assessment－Prototype－Design－Construction.
B．Assessment－Design－Prototype－Construction.
C．Design－Assessment－Prototype－Construction.
D．Design－Prototype－Assessment－Construction.
【小題3】What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?
A．The large size. B．Limited facilities.
C．The desert climate. D．Poor natural resources.
【小題4】What dose Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?
A．They are questionable. B．They are out of date.
C．They are advanced. D．They are practical.

Australia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.
The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid­2012.
As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit(押金)required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.
Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.
“This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas,” says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group(EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.
However, in the past few years, many of Wang’s student clients(客戶)could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.
A 22­year­old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.
“According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents,” Li says.
She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans.“ I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China,” she says.
Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.
【小題1】What’s the main idea of the passage? 

A．Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.
B．Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.
C．Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.
D．More students will work in Australia after their graduation.
【小題2】Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?
A．The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.
B．The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.
C．Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.
D．After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.
【小題3】After the new regulations are passed, ________.
A．more students will come to Australia to work
B．more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia
C．the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students
D．more Chinese students will choose to further their education in Australia
【小題4】 How much can Li’s parents save according to the new regulations?
A．550,000 yuan B．140,000 yuan C．410,000 yuan D．86,850 yuan
【小題5】Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?

I got tired of living the life that everybody told me I “should” be living, so one day I decided to start living life in my own ways. Frustrated（挫�。﹚ith my job, I came home, put on my shoes, and just started running. It felt so good to be free. That first day I ended up running 30 miles without stopping. Yes, I had rediscovered my old passion ( 酷愛的事物) — and it felt so good that I set a goal to support myself and my family from my running alone.
I trained hard every day. Since I wanted to be the best I could be, I knew I would have to set some clear goals for myself. A couple of my goals were: run a 135-mile ultra-marathon(超級馬拉松) across Death Valley, win the Badwater Ultra-Marathon, and run a marathon to the South Pole.
I had no idea how I was going to achieve these goals, but they certainly encouraged me to work hard. Today, I am really grateful to say that I have achieved all of them. Shortly after completing these goals, I set another goal: to run fifty marathons, in fifty states, in fifty days. Nobody had done anything like this before. To be honest, I was not quite sure if I could. But there was only one way to find out…so I just started training and preparing to give it my best try.
I completed that goal one year ago, and it felt great! But for me, life is not all about achieving goals. Sure, it feels good to succeed, but the greatest reward for me was learning more about myself and what I was able to do.
Only by stepping out into the unknown and stretching(使傾注全力) ourselves can we really discover what our true potential(潛能) is。
【小題1】Which played an important role in the author’s success?

There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.
In the school, administrative assistants greet students at the start of the day and answer a large quantity of questions. When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office.
Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.
Custodians (管理員) are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools. They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (復(fù)雜的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.
【小題1】The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A．emphasize the role teachers play in a school
B．highlight the contributions of other staff at school besides teachers.
C．tell us who make the greatest contributions to a school
D．explain what contributes to the success of a student
【小題2】If an assistant remembers a student’s name, the student will feel that _________.
A．he is paid particular attention to B．he is special
C．he has done something wrong D．he has made progress in study
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE about cafeteria workers?
A．It’s enough for them to cook for the students.
B．It’s hard for them to interact with the students.
C．They have the most interaction with students at school.
D．They can also meet the emotional needs of the students.
【小題4】How does the author feel about the staff mentioned in the text?
A．Disappointed. B．Dissatisfied. C．Appreciative. D．Doubtful.

When did you last go outside for sports? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指紋簽到機(jī)) to manage students’ records. However, some students still try to skip(不參加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.
Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food delivery to laundry, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.
In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.
“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules, sports are often the last thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.
But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplaceable(不能替代的) “education” for students. Sports are not only a way for students to train their body, but also an important way to learn responsibility, teamwork and devotion.
【小題1】The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely used
B．some college students have poor memories
C．students cannot skip morning running any more
D．the problem of students skipping sports is serious
【小題2】According to Cheng Jie, college students ________.
A．love sports more than anything else
B．prefer Internet games to sports
C．enjoy sleeping late in the morning
D．a(chǎn)re too busy with study to do any sports

A．sports play an important role in students’ over-round development
B．the most important goal for students to do sports is to keep healthy
C．universities should take tough measures in student management
D．the spirit of responsibility can be developed in more than one way

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we are educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
【小題1】The writer of this passage thinks that________.

A．free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
B．free education can solve all of the world’s problems
C．free education won’t help to solve social problems
D．a(chǎn)ll the social problems can’t be solved by free education
【小題2】The writer wants to prove that ___________.
A．a(chǎn) farmer is more important than a professor
B．our society needs all kinds of jobs
C．our society needs free education for all
D．people with university degrees earn more money
【小題3】According to the passage, ____________.
A．work with hands is low work
B．work with hands is dirty and shameful
C．work with hands is the most important
D．we can’t regard work with hands as low work
【小題4】The purpose of education is ___________.
A．to prepare children for their future life
B．to let everyone receive education
C．to choose a system of education
D．to prepare children for well-paid jobs
