分析 本文是鼓勵孩子們利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)可以解決遇到的一切問題，可以利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源參觀這些一些地方，而不是真正坐時光穿梭機，去影院看電影或者是找旅游公司．

解答 56．答案 C．細節(jié)理解題，由第三段最后一句"Whenever you have a question，whenever you have a doubt，search it out．"可知，孩子們可以通過因特網(wǎng)解決問題．故答案選C．
57．答案 A．細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"There is a wealth of information to be found online"網(wǎng)上可以發(fā)現(xiàn)豐富的信息，所以答案選A．
58．答案 D．細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth"在3D的世界里用谷歌地圖瀏覽世界，如果我們要去 Tropical Rainforests就用Google Earth，所以答案選D．
59．答案 D．細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第二段"A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day"可見這篇文章是針對年輕人寫的，所以答案選D．
60．答案 C．推理判斷題，本文寫的是網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代我們可以通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)解決我們所遇到的任何問題，所以本文不可能在文化、健康、或者是旅游欄目上看到這篇文章，Internet World互聯(lián)網(wǎng)世界應(yīng)該是這篇文章的出處，所以答案選C．

點評 首先，對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．
  其次，細讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀文章后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．
  最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性．對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準．

Chadbourne walks with a cane （拐杖），and he is often arm-in-arm with a classmate who is happy to help him down the hallway or on the stairs．His textbooks and exams are in Braille（盲文），and he types his assignments and notes on a BrailleNote，a small computer hooked up to a printer．Because of his disability，he's permitted extra time on exams，but Chadbourne says he doesn't need it，as he completes his tests in the same amount of time as other students．
Teachers at Firestone have been impressed by Chadbourne，whom they say hasn't let his disability stop him from doing anything he wants to do．He's one of the top students in his class and he was on the swim team．

17．Back in the 1860s，a British scientist named Henry Walter Bates noticed something interesting in the animal world：some harmless animals change the color or patterns of their skin to pretend to be deadly．For example，a kind of butterfly，Common Mormon，can change the pattern on its wings so that it looks like another butterfly species，the Common Rose，which is poisonous for birds to eat．
    Bates argued that animals develop this ability to protect themselves from being eaten．This theory had been widely accepted by scientists．But one question remains：how do these animals manage to do that？
    After more than 150 years，scientists are finally able to answer that question-it is all down to a gene called"doublesex"，according to a study published on March 6 in the journal Nature．
    In fact，scientists have long known that genes are responsible for this useful ability．Just like your hair color and the shape of your eyes are determined by your genes，the patterns on a butterfly's wings can be explained similarly．But until the new study，scientists hadn't been able to find out which genes in particular were responsible．
    Encouraged by the development of new technologies for studying genes，scientists at the University of Chicago，US decided to give it another try．They compared the genetic structure of the Common Mormons that changed their wing patterns with those of ones that did not．And all the results pointed to a single gene，"doublesex"．
This was much to the scientists'surprise．They used to expect that something as complex as this would be controlled by many different genes．For example，one gene would control the color of the upper part of the wing，one would do so for the lower part and one would control wing shape．
    However，the"doublesex"gene doesn't quite do everything by itself．Instead，it acts like a switch-it"tells"other genes to change the wing patterns．Isn't that clever？
    Scientists believe that this special ability of the"doublesex"gene was developed throughout the long history of evolution．"The harmless species gains an advantage by resembling something predators （捕食動物） avoid，"Sean Carroll，a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison，US told Nature．"It was obvious evidence for natural selection．"
63．What was newly discovered by scientists at the University of Chicago？D
A．Some animals can change their skin color．
B．Some butterflies can disguise themselves as other species．
C．Genes are responsible for the change in animals'skins．
D．Common Mormons change their skin patterns due to a certain gene．
64．What surprised scientists in the study？C
A．So many genes are involved in the change of patterns．
B．The genetic structure of the butterflies is so complex．
C．A single gene determines the change of patterns．
D．The gene"doublesex"singlehandedly changes the wing patterns．
65．Which of the following is the best title？B
A．A new discovery                  
B．How butterflies stay safe
C．A gene called"doublesex"
D．Natural selection．

7．On countless mornings over the past year，I stood with my son，James，in our driveway，watching our neighbor hurry off to kindergarten．My wife and I wanted to give James the best  education，but that meant we'd have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kid．I asked myself，"Would this trade-off be worth it？"When I look at the research on child development，I think it might not．Where our kids go to school might matter less than most American parents think．
    Social scientists have long tried to determine why some children grow up to be successful．In a 2001 study，Greg Duncan，a professor of education at the University of California，measured the influence that the people in a child's life have on how well the child does in school．Duncan and his team found almost no relationship between how students did on the test and whom they sat beside in class，whom they hung out with after school and who lived in their block．The only meaningful link they found was between siblings （兄弟姐妹） and twins in particular．
     For a long time，scholars thought that a family's income heavily affected how well kids did   in life．But that might not be the case．When Susan Mayer at the University of Chicago looked at the relationship between family income and lifetime achievement，she ran a series of experiments to measure it，finding such outcomes weren't caused by income．She argued that the things that make a difference are relatively inexpensive：the number of books a kid has or how often his family goes to museums．
    Lareau，another scholar began one of the most in-depth observations of American parenting．He concluded that success is much more related to the amount of time parents spend with their children．He said"Many parents I interviewed are anxious about their children's futures．But they have exaggerated（夸大） the sense of the risks involved if they don't give their children'the best'of everything．"
    So at last，we decided to leave things as it were．More time with our kid is the best we can provide．
25．The first paragraph is intended toA
    A．introduce the topic of the passage
    B．confirm the result of a research
    C．stress the importance of good education
    D．support a research on child development
26．From the passage we know that most American parentsC．
    A．spend a lot of time with their children
    B．like to buy a variety of books for their children
    C．think children's achievement largely depends on schools
    D．believe their income cannot afford children's education
27．Who believes children's brothers and sisters may influence their academic performance？B
    A．Lareau．         B．Greg Duncan．    C．Susan Mayer．    D．James．
28．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A
    A．Parents'time matters to children's future．
    B．School education determines children's future．
    C．Family income counts to children's achievements．
    D．Less education means more risks for children's success．
