17.FLORENCE,Italy-Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt.The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly,but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits,or in some cases,citizenship.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs,such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation,seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants,and some terms are even tougher.The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.
Italy,which has a much weaker tradition of immigration,has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years.In 1990,immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people,or about 2 percent.At the start of this year,foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million,or 7.5 percent,with immigrants'children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.
Cojochru,the Moldovan caregiver,hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住權(quán)) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova,where salaries are among the lowest in Europe.She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.
Italians always"see me as a foreigner,"an outsider,even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently,she said.

28.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A
A.To continue to stay in Italy.B.To teach her children Italian.
C.To find a better job in Italy.D.To better mix with the Italians.
29.Some people worry that the new language requirement mayB.
A.reduce Italy's population quickly    B.cause conflicts among people
C.lead to financial difficulties        D.put pressure on schools
30.What do we know about Cojochru?C
A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.
B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D.She wishes to go back to her home country.

9.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history,comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph.Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before,and can communicate with each other instantly,often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere.But the Internet's tremendous impacts has only just begun.
"Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social,cultural,and political transformations in history,and unlike earlier periods of change,this time the effects are fully global,"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.
Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online.The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals,governments,and institutions like the news media.But if the book has one major shortcoming,it's that authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these changes.
In their book,the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes-and more importantly predicts-how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades.They paint a picture of a world in which individuals,companies,institutions,and governments must deal with two realities,one physical,and one virtual.
At the core of the book is the idea that"technology is neutral,but people aren't."By using this concept as a starting point,the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.pessimist point of view that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society.In an interview with TIME earlier this week,Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet,they're also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online,particularly with respect to personal privacy and state supervision.
25.How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?B
A.They are immeasurable.
B.They are worldwide.
C.They are unpredictable.
D.They are profound.
26.In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?C
A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.
B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.
C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.
D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.
27.What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A
A.People will be dealing with two different realities.
B.People will have equal access to information.
C.People don't have to travel to see the world.
D.People don't have to communicate face to face.
28.What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?D
A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.
B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.
C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.
D.They don't take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.

16.As the leaves change color in autumn,students return to school.As a frost covers the ground each night,we are busy planting vegetables in northern Wisconsin.
Five public school districts in northern Wisconsin recently built high tunnels(隧道)for the winter growing season.The schools'high tunnels,made of metal frame and a plastic covering the raised beds,keep plants warm enough to extend the growing season through the winter and allow an earlier spring planting.Our very short growing season occurs almost entirely during the summer vacation months.This makes the high tunnels necessary in allowing students to gain experience of growing and marketing produce in a cold climate where production at this scale couldn't otherwise happen during the school year.
During the summer,the high tunnels on school grounds still need to remain there.We developed the Agripreneur program(Agriculture+Entrepreneur)to support students'work in the high tunnels during months when students are are on holidays.This program was made possible by a farm and a university.Each summer,a pair of students will be hired from every high school to care for and sell a single crop in exchange for instruction from professional lo-cal farmers,growing experience,and a salary.
The Agripreneur program appeared for its first season during the summer of 2015.Students grew tomatoes that were sold to community members,local restaurants and the school cafeterias(食堂).The program met its goal of increasing the number of local vegetables consumed,both within the region and in school lunches.Sales to school cafeterias will continue through the winter as the high tunnels'change to nutrient root vegetables,all grown by students.
We may live in winter,but with the recent addition of these school high tunnels,our students are able to eat the freshest local vegetables available-even during the coldest months.
 
32.What do we know about the school's high tunnels?A
A.They are actually greenhouses.
B.They are actually metal containers.
C.They are entirely used for planting vegetables in summer.
D.They are mainly used as reading rooms for students.
33.High tunnels are being used in the school districts because ofC.
A.students'interest in planting.
B.the larger need of crops there.
C.the short growing season there.
D.no fresh vegetables available there.
34.The Agripreneur program was created toD.
A.get farmers to produce more crops.
B.check students'work on the high tunnels.
C.get instructions from professional local farmers.
D.help students do their work in the high tunnels in holidays.
35.What can be the best title for the text?D
A.Crops Are Planted in Winter
B.Students Are Becoming Scientists
C.Schools Have the Vegetable Market
D.New Growing Season Begins Under High Tunnels.
