题目内容

13.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
   By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power."
   Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea right now.Just start with anything,and create an explanation.For example,start with"I'll learn chess,"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week."Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this,you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
   Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you're half-way there.
   Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

1.Having a great collection of books at home doesn't really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance or it can be just to impress people around you by the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand,there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books,because some of them are quite expensive,but who usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot,or just borrow books to home.
From my point of view,literature is very important in our life. For example,reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to make compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science,even if you don't work in this domain,or you can express your opinion about a political aspect,just because you have read something connected to that.
Secondly,literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination,and to leave the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago,dream of being in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes,we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.
In conclusion,I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture,to express ourselves correctly,to have a rich vocabulary,to be able to interfere in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.

B. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hours
C. what we read can be useful in our daily life
D. we can make friends with people in the stories
74. The underline word"erudite"in Paragraph 4 probably means"A".
A. learned        B. enthusiastic      C. smart         D. creative

18.Leading experts on the Internet,technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.
The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on"the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity"---and some had a rosier outlook than others.
"The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,"said Hal,Google's chief economist."Enabling that person----and the millions like him or her---will have a strong effect on the development of the human race."
Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed:"When every person on this planet can communicate two-way with every other person on this planet,the power of nation-states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear."
Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear ) could monitor more than just steps,predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts---or do more than just monitor:"We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis."
Microsoft Reaearch's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic(悲观):"By making so much activity visible,it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending,difficult task.
And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect:"Only the well-off (and well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy,"warned one expert.
"Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together,in one big awful step?Possibly,"admitted Harvard"s Doctor Searls.:"But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages----the ability to share knowledge---to a degree higher than ever before."

36.As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity,some of the experts areB.
A.Realistic
B.Optimistic
C.Doubtful
D.Careful
37.According to Hal,in the future,those who will influence the development of human race areB.
A.Google's economists
B.Chinese and Indian
C.The educated persons
D.World leading experts
38.People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according toD.
A.The development of communication skills
B.The suggestions made by computer experts
C.The prediction made by the home computers
D.The data recorded by the computers worn on body
39.The underlined word"this"in paragraph 6refers toC.
A.The visible activities mentioned above
B.The way we thought they ought to behave
C.The way people really behave in life
D.The rule people ought to obey in life
40.Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraphA?
A.Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.
B.Development of the Internet and human beings.
C.Knowledge and civilization of human beings.
D.Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.
5.Dear Mom,Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner,and some of us are already complaining about summer's end.But parents have a special reason to do so.The end of summer means the start of school.And these days,planning a young child's schedule is a big challenge.The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child's day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available.Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend.In the name of"enrichment,"three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch.One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis.Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time.What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had.The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families.And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
David Elkind,an expert on children,suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better.Parents hope that early music lessons,for example will build a child's confidence.The truth,however,is that any time children are asked to do too much,too soon,they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.
A child's time does not have to be planned to be meaningful.Remember the lazy days of summer?Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it's time to come home for dinner.However,with the majority of mothers working,fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.
Come September,children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten,only to attend an after-school program until 6P.M.,when a working mom or dad comes to take them home.That's too much for a five-year old.Finances,of course,do limit some parents.But let's be honest with ourselves-our own busy schedules,whatever they involve,are no excuse for burdening a young child's.

67.The author holds that it's a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly becauseC.
A.a child's schedule is too complex
B.activities suitable for kids are limited
C.parents are stuck in numerous choices
D.children always say no to parents'advice
68.What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2implies thatC.
A.children love to stay at school
B.they are popular with children
C.children dislike after-school classes
D.after-school classes are of poor quality
69.According to the author,what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes?D
A.Parents want to make up for their own regrets.
B.After-school classes develop children's potential.
C.Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children.
D.After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.
70.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?C
A.For children's benefits,the earlier the better.
B.Children's spare time should be carefully designed.
C.Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past.
D.Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason..
