Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle…They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.
小題1:According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_____.
A．listening to skilled people’s advice.
B．a(chǎn)sking older people many questions

The laptop is a machine which can be a mobile office；it can be used to entertain us and people can play computer games on them. One machine can perform many tasks at the same time. As technology grows，the size of the new laptop machines is decreasing. Now laptops are lighter，have smaller screen sizes，and perform better. Smaller screen laptops，which are more convenient to take along with，have been specially designed for professionals. Huge display screen laptops are still used by graphic(繪畫的)designers and those who like playing computer games.
Laptops are advanced machines，and they can be very expensive. When we spend much money on something，we should take good care of it. I know some people who buy a new laptop every year. The reason they do this is that the old one either is broken or has some problems which cannot be fixed. Common problems are the breaking of the screen，the breaking of joints of the laptop，display problems，and keyboard problems.
Different problems will always come up with machines，and they cannot be avoided(避免)．Old machines will always have to be replaced by new ones. However，if we are more careful and handle our laptops with care，they will last for a longer period of time，and they will perform better. This is not a hard thing to do，but it will greatly increase the life and performance of laptops.
小題1:According to the first paragraph，the laptop is a machine which________.
A．is being used by more and more people in the office
B．will take the place of desktops sooner or later
C．is specially designed for people who like playing computer games
D．can be used for both work and entertainment purposes
小題2:The underlined word in the first paragraph means “________”．
A．becoming smaller
B．becoming more important
C．becoming more popular
D．becoming better
小題3:We infer that graphic designers still use huge display screen laptops most probably because________.
A．huge display screen laptops are very cheap
B．small display screen laptops are not on sale yet
C．they can see their drawings more clearly
D．they also want to play computer games
小題4:What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．That laptops can only be used for one year.

United States and Canada are multicultural countries with many national, religious and cultural differences, where people attach great importance to individualism—the uniqueness among people. Teachers value the qualities that make each student special and different. You can see such values through their educational systems. For example, students needn’t memorize lots of information. Instead, they work independently and find answers on their own. There are discussions for children to show their own ideas and opinions.
By contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture in most Asian societies. As a result, Asia’s educational system reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea learn to work together and help one another in assignments. And the teaching methods are often very formal and serious. In class, teachers give lectures while students listen and take notes. Discussion is replaced by reciting rules of information that have been memorized.
These two systems both have advantages and disadvantages. One advantage in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. In addition, students study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The difficult system also prepares students for a society that place emphasis on discipline and self-control. However, while memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students admit forgetting much of the information that they have memorized after exams.
On the other hand, the educational system in North American has an advantage that students learn to think for themselves, which prepares them for a society that values creativity. The disadvantage is that when they graduate from high school, they haven’t recited as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
小題1:People in multicultural countries such as the US or Canada lay more stress on __________.
A．team workB．self-controlC．disciplineD．individualism
小題2:What is the advantage of the educational system in North America？
A．There is not much discussion.
B．Learning to think for themselves
C．Learning much less math and science
D．They haven’t memorized basic rules and facts.
小題3:Which words is most suitable to describe the author's attitude in writing this passage?
A．Supportive B．OppositeC．ObjectiveD．Subjective
小題4:The main idea of this passage is___________.
A．cultural differences in countries such as the United States or Canada
B．comparisons of educational system between North America and Asia
C．there are more advantages of Asian education system of than that of North American
D．there are more disadvantages of Asian education system than that of North American

They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (懸掛) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.
Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡邏) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.
Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.
The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.
Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.
Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.
Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默認(rèn)) setting.
Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.
小題1:According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.
A．had most of their company data stolen
B．depended on wireless computer networks
C．were exposed to drive-by hacking
D．were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking
小題2:Which of the following is NOT considered in the study?
A．The number of computer hacking incidents.
B．The number of wireless computer networks identified.
C．The way in which data are sent and received.
D．The way in which data are hacked and stolen.
小題3:Most wireless network technology has_________.
A．data encryption program
B．password security programs
C．illegal-user detection
D．firewall
小題4:Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________.
A．wireless signal administration
B．changes in user’s awareness
C．users’ psychological health
D．stronger physical walls
小題5:The passage is most likely to be seen in a __________
A．book reviewB．science fictionC．textbookD．computer magazine

The Olympic Games
The ancient Olympic Games was in the year 776BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries, until AD394.
The contemporary Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for 56. 各國(guó)人民和平相處. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream. Among them are many well-known athletes.
57. 中國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)員為奧運(yùn)會(huì)做出了重要貢獻(xiàn)。At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People’s Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years’ absence. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. 58. Deng Yaping is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player in the world. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles.
59. The Chinese led the way at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women’s gymnastics team won the gold medal.
These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts to push the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. 60. Join us in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future.

The Internationa1 Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named ‘Sea Orbiter’, consists of two areas—one above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million—per ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!
小題1:Why can’t ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?
A．Because they can’t stand the high water pressure.
B．Because it’s too cold in deep ocean.
C．Because time for experiments is too limited.
D．Because it’s dangerous to observe the sea life.
小題2:The underlined word “circumvent ” probably means     .
A．fly awayB．go aroundC．travel throughD．move into
小題3:From the fourth paragraph we can learn that     .
A．Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling
B．living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
C．it’s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
D．researchers on Jacques ’ ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
小題4:In Jacques’ opinion, which of the following is not the purpose of the undersea research?
A．To find supply for food in the future.
B．To find supply for medicine in the future.
C．To draw governments’ attention to the construction of the ship.
D．To solve the global warming.
小題5:Which of the fol1owing would be the best title for the text?
A．Sea Orbiter—the ship of the future
B．A new way to explore the deep oceans
C．A great architect—Jacques Rogerie
D．Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter

These days we are all conditioned to accept newness, whatever it costs. Very soon, there is no doubt that Apple's tablet (平板電腦) will seem as a vital tool of modern living to us as sewing machine did to our grandparents. At least, it will until someone produces an even smarter, thinner and more essential tablet, which, if recent history is any guide, will be in approximately six months' time. Turn your back for a moment and you find that every electronic item in your possession is as old as a tombstone. Why should you care if people laugh just because you use an old mobile phone? But try getting the thing repaired when it goes wrong. It's like walking into a pub and asking for an orange juice. You will be made to feel like some sort of time-traveler from the 1970s. "Why not buy a new one?" you will get asked.
And so the mountain of electrical rubbish grows. An average British person was believed to get rid of quite a number of electronic goods in a lifetime. They weighed three tons, stood 7 feet high, and included five fridges, six microwaves, seven PCs, six TVs, 12 kettles, 35 mobile phones and so on. Even then, the calculation seemed to be conservative. Only 35 mobiles in a lifetime? The huge number of electronic items now regularly thrown away by British families is clearly one big problem. But this has other consequences. It contributes greatly to the uneasy feeling that modem technology is going by faster than we can keep up. By the time I've learnt how to use a tool it's already broken or lost. I've lost count of the number of TV remote-controls that I've bought, mislaid and replaced without working out what most of the buttons did.
And the technology changes so unbelievably fast. It was less than years ago that I spotted an energetic businessman friend pulling what seemed to be either a large container or a small nuclear bomb on wheels through a railway station. I asked. "What have you got in there? Your money or your wife?" "Neither," he replied, with the satisfied look of a man who knew he was keeping pace with the latest technology, no matter how ridiculous he looked. "This is what everyone will have soon—even you. It's called a mobile telephone."
I don't feel sorry for the pace of change. On the contrary, I'm amazed by those high-tech designers who can somehow fit a camera, music-player, computer and phone into a plastic box no bigger than a packet of cigarette. If those geniuses could also find a way to keep the underground trains running on the first snowy day of winter, they would be making real progress for human beings. What I do regret, however, is that so many household items fall behind so soon. My parents bought a wooden wireless radio in 1947, the year they were married. In 1973, the year I went to university, it was still working. It sat in the kitchen like an old friend—which, in a way, it was. It certainly spoke to us more than we spoke to each other on some mornings. When my mum replaced it with a new-style radio that could also play cassette-tapes, I felt a real sense of loss.
Such is the over-excited change of 21st-century technology that there's no time to satisfy our emotional needs. Even if Apple's new products turn out to be the most significant tablets I very much doubt if they will resist this trend.
小題1:When you try getting an old mobile phone repaired, ____.
A．you are travelling through timeB．you are thought to be out of date
C．you will find everything wrongD．you have got to buy a new one
小題2:Throwing away so much electronic rubbish makes the writer feel quite _____.

小題5:Which of the following is conveyed in the passage?
A．The fast pace of change brings us no good.
B．We have to keep up with new technology.
C．Household items should be upgraded quickly.
D．We should hold on for new technology to last.

By 2050
Futurologists（未來(lái)學(xué)家）predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels（頻道）will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.
Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.
Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big computers prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices（設(shè)備）that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.
Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones（克�。﹐f animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?
小題1:According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.
A．reading newspapers on a computer
B．making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again

A．can work 24 hours a day
B．often ask for more pay
C．a(chǎn)re not clever enough
D．a(chǎn)re often late for work
小題3:From Paragraph 5 we can infer that __________.
A．there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050
B．few diseases will attack people by 2050
C．devices are connected directly to the brain to help people hear
D．medical technology will be more effective by 2050
小題4:What is the author’s attitude towards the cloning technology?
A．The author does not support the use of cloning technology.
B．The author thinks human cloning is impossible.
C．The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.
D．The author is quite excited about human cloning.

Not everyone goes to university after high school graduation. Some work, others join the army and an increasing number worldwide are taking a “gap year” to travel or do community service in their own countries or abroad. They are studying sharks off the Australian coast, building schools in Mexico and learning Spanish or Italian.
The concept of a gap year may not be new, but the recent surge (涌現(xiàn)) of interest certainly is.  Some students are putting off admissions. Others, who don’t get into the college of their choice, are taking a year to explore new frontiers before reapplying.
Students are choosing to take a breather; they are thinking. They are not sure what they are going to do. They are going and exploring some of their interests. They are getting experience they can take to the school they finally go to.
It is an idea actively encouraged by colleges. Princeton University has just launched a “bridge year” program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad, starting in 2009. And the Harvard has spent the last 30 years urging incoming students to take a gap year.
“Many speak of their year away as a ‘life-changing’ experience or a ‘turning point’” says Harvard admissions director Marlin Lewis. “Many come to college with new opinions about their academic plans, their extracurricular interests and the career possibilities they observed in their year away.”
小題1:The reasons why some take a gap year are the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．they hate studying
B．they don’t know what to do
C．they want to get experience
D．they want to know their real interests
小題2:A student won’t ________ in a gap year.
A．travelB．join the army
C．do community serviceD．learn a foreign language
小題3:After a gap year, one would probably _________.
A．take another year off
B．earn a lot of money
C．be refused by his college
D．have new ideas about their future career
小題4:From the passage we know that ________.
A．more and more students will take a gap year
B．fewer and fewer colleges will encourage his students to take a gap year
C．the gap year can only give one some experience about society
D．nobody will change his own interests after the gap year
