We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defending of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation(声誉), unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.

The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computers.

【1】The word “favoritism” is used to describe the phenomenon that _____.

A. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs

B. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.

C. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets

D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success

【2】What would happen if exams were taken away according to the author?

A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.

B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.

C. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

D. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.

【3】The opponents of the examination system will agree that _____.

A. computers should be selected to take over many jobs

B. jobs should not be assigned(分配)by systematic selection

C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards

D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with

【题目】When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC for the news. However, during the war in Iraq in 2003, many people followed the war from the point of view of an unknown Iraqi citizen who called himself "Salam Pax" (Salam Pax means peace).

Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his website. Pax's online diary was a kind of website known as a "blog". Blogs are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing types of website on the Internet.

A blog differs from a traditional website in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or websites, which can help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs.

There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.

There is another kind of blogging, called "moblogging", short for "mobile blogging".

Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student on the Internet. Many people were shocked by what the student did, and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools.

Many people think that as blogs become common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in.

1Which statement about Salam Pax was true?

A. He worked for CNN.

B. Salam Pax was not his real name.

C. He was famous as a host in BBC.

D. He used a mobile phone for his blog.

2What is the biggest difference between blogs and traditional websites?

A. Blogs use special software.

B. Blogs contain personal information.

C. Blogs are updated much more often.

D. Blogs contain links to other websites.

3According to the passage, in the future it is likely that ________.

A. everyone will have a blog

B. blogging technology will be banned

C. large media companies will be unnecessary

D. people will be able to learn the news from other points of view

4What is the passage mainly about?

A. The war in Iraq. B. New types of media.

C. The history of the Internet. D. The increase of using computers.

【题目】The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much,and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicusbasilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several metres, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”.

But fortunately there is an alternative: corn flour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “nonNewtonian” liquid that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of corn flour.

Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower afterwards!

1What do we know about Basilicusbasilicus from the passage?

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.

C. It can run across water at a certain speed.

D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.

2What is the function of the corn flour according to the passage?

A. To create a thick liquid.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To help the liquid behave normally.

D. To enable the water to move rapidly.

3What is the author's attitude towards the idea of humans' walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is interesting and worth trying.

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Very mobile ears help many animals direct their attention to the rustle of a possible attacker. Researchers say these mobile ears have become a useful communication tool. Their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed.

“We're interested in how they communicate,” said lead researcher Jennifer Wathan.“And being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamental skill from which other more complex skills develop.”

Ms Wathan and her colleague Prof Karen McComb set up a behavioural experiment where 72 individual horses had to use visual clues from another horse in order to choose where to feed. They led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets. On a wall behind this decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horse's head facing either to left or right. In some of the trials, the horses’ ears or eyes were covered.

If the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visible, the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze and its ears were directed. If the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered, the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random.

Like many mammals that are hunted by predators(捕食者), horses can rotate(旋转)their ears through almost 180 degrees - but Ms Wathan said that in our "human-centric" view of the world, we had overlooked the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication.

"It seems there's something in the visual clues----from both the eyes and the ears-----that are really important," she told BBC News. "Horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses, so they're a good species to look at this in." And the more we look at communication across different species, the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills."

【1】Why does a horse rotate its ears?

A. To tell each other where they can go for the buckets.

B. To be curious about what the other horse is thinking.

C. To warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer.

D. To express its hope to build up social relations with others.

【2】Why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment?

A. To help develop horses’ complex skills.

B. To lead other horses to feed themselves.

C. To make the horses in the experiment excited.

D. To provide clues for the horses in the experiment.

【3】Why are ears and eyes important to horses?

A. They can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes.

B. With ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily.

C. With ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses.

D. Horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes.

【4】What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Rotary Ears Serve as Communication Tools.

B. Horses Have More Social Skills than Other Species.

C. Experiments with Horses’ Ears.

D. Fundamental Skills of Horses.
