15.Driving a large truck over mountain roads is not the usual way that a schoolteacher begins her day-especially if she is a preschool teacher.But Mrs Beth Miller does this five days every week.Her unusual schoolhouse on wheels is actually a truck.The back of the truck has been made into a classroom in order to carry the advantages of modern education to remote areas of the state of West Virginia.In many rural areas of this state it is impossible for small children to go to regular schools because of the many hills and valleys of Appalachian Mountains.
The purpose of the schoolhouse on wheels project is to develop basic skills and social behavior in children three to five years of age.This is done through games,exercises,toys and simple handcrafts.The schoolhouse on wheels concept also teaches the young children to recognize 300to 400words on the printed page.This is a great advantage in helping the pupils to learn to read when they begin regular school.In its three-year history the project has helped about 350children in an area made up of five counties,an area of 20,000square kilometers.The schoolhouse on wheels is part of the Appalachian Educational Laboratory,a research effort paid for by the government.Besides the mobile classroom,other parts of the program include lessons by television and visits to the homes of the students.The technique is very effective,and one teacher can do the work of seven in a traditional educational system.As a result the program costs about 50% less than the regular kindergarten.
All these advantages of the schoolhouse on wheels have made both parents and school officials happy.West Virginia plans to increase the program and to include it in the public school system so that more than 4,500preschool children can have this valuable learning experience.

A.walks to begin her work
B.drives a large truck to begin her work
C.drives her car to the school
D.carries the classroom to the school

12.We find that bright children are rarely   held back  by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary,both their knowledge and experience are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides,it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full,not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills,and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms,we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups:This gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate,to share,and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think,to make decisions,to analyze and evaluate,and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments,and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library,and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work:it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

13.Michael became interested in headphones (耳机) in his early teens.He walked the streets day after day with loud music playing directly into his ears.By his early 20s,Michael had lost much of his upper-level hearing.
The Children's Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States,and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.
Noise-caused hearing loss can come about in two ways:from a brief exposure (暴露) to a very loud noise or from long exposure to medium noise.Thus,there is much concern about the lasting effects of MP3players that are turned up loud enough to block out surrounding sound.An MP3player at maximum volume (音量) produces about 105decibels (分贝)-100times as intense (强烈的) as 85decibels,where hearing damage begins.(For every 10decibels,sound intensity increases ten times.)
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health says 110decibels can produce hearing damage after just 1minute and 29seconds of exposure.Noise levels above 85decibels will harm hearing over time.
Special kinds of headphones may not solve the problem.Users may turn up the volume to overcome surrounding noises,damaging the tiny hair cells in the inner ear that send sound energy to the brain.
Once damaged,hair cells can neither be repaired nor replaced.The damage makes it difficult to hear high-pitched (声调高的) sounds,including certain speech sounds and the voices of women and children.Tinnitus (耳鸣),that is,ringing in the ear,can also result.
The League for the Hard of Hearing advises children to take part in more quiet activities,like watching family-centered films,playing educational computer games,drawing and painting,and visiting libraries and museums.

D.tell the main idea of the passage
42.We can learn from Paragraphs3-4thatA.
A.sound intensity will increase 1,000times if decibels increase from 85to 115
B.noise levels lower than 105decibels won't harm your hearing
C.MP3players that produce 90decibels may do no harm to one's hearing
D.110decibels will produce hearing damage in 1minute
43.Which of the following statements about"hair cells"is TRUE?B
A.They can be fixed if they are damaged.

10."There is an out-of-date idea that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says Mr.Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a great change in the middle class,"declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.
       Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce (离婚) rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs.
       Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give security (安全保卫) and moral(道义的) support.Her mother agreed."Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires changes for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the careful balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol (酒精) problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."
       Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children,can end up with a sense of defeat and failure.And aging parents,who should be enjoying some freedom,find themselves stuck with too many things.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work well.
52.According to the author,there was once a trend in the U.S.A.
A.for young adults to leave their parents and live separately
B.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents
C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence
D.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents
53.Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest?B
A.Young adults find housing costs too high.
B.Young adults are not old enough.
C.Young adults look for parental comfort and support.
D.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.
54.The underlined word"hassles"in the passage probably meansD.
A.agreements                                            
B.worries
C.disadvantages                                        
D.quarrels
55.According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children?C
A.They should share the family expenses.
B.Children should leave their parents when they are grown up.
C.Adult children should live away from their parents and visit their parents from time to time.
D.Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble.
56.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to slay with their parents is thatA      
A.there will certainly be inconveniences in even-day life
B.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family going
C.the young adults try to be overprotected by their parents
D.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents.
20.Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform?It's too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50students,so-called child prodigies(奇才),to begin classes on March l,2011.On graduating in 2015,these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,but if the government will not approve the school,the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties,however,have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18,2010more than 1,000students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011and 2020.The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal,the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

60.Over 1,000students and parents visited the school becauseA.
A.they believe that the school will have a bright future
B.they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C.the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully
D.they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions
61.The trouble the students in the school may have is thatC.
A.the government will have no voice in the school
B.they won't receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C.other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D.they will not learn how to be competitive
62.What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?D
A.It is another kind of diploma mill.
B.It's impossible for the school to be competitive.
C.It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D.Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.
63.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.University of New Style.       B.China's Education Reform.
C.Modeling Hong Kong University. D.Authorized or Not?
7.Students at the Hogook Middle School in South Korea have a unique homework:going online to message boards and write positive,cheerful comments.Teachers and other adults hope those comments will discourage others from leaving vicious(恶意的)and negative remarks.This is one of the activities in a nationwide program called the Sunfull Movement.
Online attacks are an increasing problem in South Korea.The  National Police Agency receives tens of thousands of complaints every year,but there is not much that can be done to stop it,since attackers seldom use their real names.In the worst cases,authorities say cyber-bullies(网络攻击)have pressured some people to take their own lives.That is why the Sunfull Movement's founder,Min Byoung'chul,a professor at Kunkuk University,began the program three years ago.
Min says research indicates ninety percent of the attackers are under the age of 30."Young kids,they're stressed out because of schoolwork.They have to prepare for their college entrance examinations and they just write whatever they feel.That's one of the ways to blow off their discontent and stress."explained Min.
Student Kim Hee-joo,15,says she writes thank-you messages to friends,family and teachers on her school's homepage.And when she sees people making bad comments about famous people,she leaves nice messages,because when people see positive comments they are more likely to stop saying bad things and change their attitude.
Teacher Kim Eun-young says Koreans do not really say"Thank you"or"I love you"to friends or parents.But being not face-to-face,they feel more comfortable saying those kinds of things.She also says violence at the school,both online and offline,has decreased and students and teachers get along much better now.

68.What's the aim of the Sunfull Movement?B
A.To teach students how to make comments on the Internet•
B.To stop cyber-bullying and create a positive atmosphere on the Internet•
C.To offer students suggestions on letting off their discontent and stress•
D.To serve as a model for other nations by gaining experience.
69.It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatD•
A.People in South Korea tends to express themselves frankly
B.Koreans sometimes are not polite to their friends or parents
C.Students and teachers don't get along well in Korean schools
D.Changes have taken place since the school began the program
70.The best title of this passage probably isA.
A.Battle Cyber-Bullying with Positive Comments
B.Keep Away from Negative Remarks Online
C.Students in South Korea Face Much Pressure
D.A Remarkable Concern in South Korea.
4.Why are so many people so afraid of failure?Quite simple because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth.We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed.One way is to lower standards.A mother describes her child's hastily made table as"Perfect!"even though it doesn't stand still.Another way is to shift(转移)blame.If John fails science,his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure prevention is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world.The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything,no one can win all the time and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win.A child who's not invited to a birthday party,who doesn't make the honour roll on the baseball team,feels terrible,of course.But parents should not offer a quick comfort,prize or say"It doesn't matter."because it does.The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable.It hurts grownups and children alike.But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it.Step one is to ask"Why did it fail?Don't blame someone else.Ask yourself what you did wrong,how you can improve.If someone else can help,don't be shy about inquiring.Success,which encourages repetition of old behaviour,is not nearly as good a teacher as failure.You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one,from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second.Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking,a change of direction.After twelve years of studying ballet,a friend of mine applied for a professional company.She asked.That ballet master shook his head."You will never be a dancer,"he said,"you haven't the body for it."
In such cases,the way to use failure is to take stock bravely asking"What have I left?What else can I do?"My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center,a field where she's both able and useful.Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose.Often there is recovery of energy-a way to find new possibilities.

B.the reason why we don't know how to fail
C.the reason why so many people are afraid of failure

B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Failure is far from a good teacher like success.

A.failure is the recovery of energy
B.failure makes one free to do something dangerous
C.failure should be forgotten in our life
D.failure is likely to do us good in life.
