题目内容

14.Apple has entered the textbook market.The tech giant(科技巨头)introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform(平台).They are digital books in many subjects taking in science,maths,history and geography.
   Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction with (连接)major textbook publishers.The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.
   Apple says it offers a"new textbook experience"and suggests its iBoo ks textbooks are"the next chapter in learning".It sounds like good news for pupils and students.Think of it.No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks.Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad.No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.
   Of course there's a catch.You need to own an iPad and as you know,it is not cheap.You also need to buy digital textbooks,mostly priced each at 14.99(94.74yuan)orless.Textbookpublishingwasworth 8.7 billion in the US alone last year.And the rest,as they say,is history.Will Apple revolutionize(进行革命)learning?Will digital books take over completely in education?That remains to be seen.
32.What is the best title of the text?A
A.Apple Enters New Market

2.The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use,according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC).The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放)by 80percent by 2050,part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero carbon by 2016.But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own-though extremely important-is not enough to achieve such reductions:the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率),which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
"Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,"explains Katy Janda,a UKERC senior researcher,"consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design."In other words,old habits die hard,even in the best designed eco home.
Another part of the problem is information.Households and bill payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy use habits.Without specific information,it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices.Feedback (反馈) facilities,like smart meters and energy monitors,could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面),suggesting that individuals'behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted-whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器),for example.
Janda argues that education is the key.She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.

29.As to energy use,the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of
B.
A.zero carbon homes                 
B.the behaviour of building users
C.sustainable building design        
D.the reduction of carbon emissions
30.The underlined word"which"in Paragraph 2refers to"D".
A.the waysB.their homes   C.developments D.existing efforts
31.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?A
A.The importance of changing building users'habits.
B.The necessity of making a careful building design.
C.The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D.The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
32.The information gap in energy useA.
A.can be bridged by feedback facilities
B.affects the study on energy monitors
C.brings about problems for smart meters
D.will be caused by building users'old habits.
9.Nikenson's dad died when he was 3,and his mom often couldn't afford his school fees,so he got kicked out of school sometimes.But Nikenson would steal back onto the school grounds and stand outside the open classroom windows to listen,day after day.He studied on his own,keeping pace so that when his mom earned a few dollars,he could enter class again.
Against all difficulties,Nikenson graduated from high school this year,first in his class,with straight A's,and was elected class president.Nikenson is a reminder of the basic saying of life today:gift is universal,but opportunity is not.
Fortunately,with the help of some American people,Nikenson is now receiving a university education.He's benefiting from a program started by Bohan,a young American who was teaching in a Haitian high school.Bohan asked his family and friends to help other Haitians go to college.The program grew and became the Haitian Education and Leadership Program,or HELP,sending hundreds of young men and women to Haitian universities.
"Education works,"Bohan said simply."Good education works for everybody,everywhere.It worked for you,for me,and it works for Haitians.""Over time,I've concluded that education may be the single best way to help people help themselves,whether in America or abroad.Yet,as a nation,we don't put enough money in education.So,in this holiday season,I'd suggest a moment to raise a glass and celebrate those who spread the gift of education."
One clever new high school graduate,Elice,was working as a worker in a village and earning just﹩50a month.HELP sent him to college to study industrial engineering,and he just graduated and found a job at a European company as an engineer for﹩1,500a month.
"The only difference is his access to education,"said Bohan.

21.Why was Nikenson not allowed to enter class sometimes?C
A.Because his father died at an early age.
B.Because he often stole something in the school.
C.Because his family was too poor to afford school fees.
D.Because he liked standing outside the open classroom windows.
22.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably meansA.
A.chances are also important to gifted people
B.wise people can succeed in everything they do
C.gift is more necessary than opportunity
D.in life people with gift don't need opportunity
23.What's the purpose of Bohan starting HELP?D
A.To collect money for poor Americans.
B.To build more high schools in Haiti.
C.To send poor American students to study abroad.
D.To help Haitians receive a university education.
24.According to the passage,Bohan thinksB.
A.everyone should work for good education
B.education can make a big difference in life
C.more people will spread the gift of education soon
D.Elice ought to be one of the HELP's members.
3.Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have,but one cannot take good health for granted.It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy.There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape:eat right food,get enough sleep,and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health.Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of"fuel"(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat.Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质),like meat,fish,eggs and nuts.Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals.However,don't overeat.It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important.If you don't get enough sleep,you feel tired and easily get angry.You have no energy.Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night.If you do,your body will feel strong and refreshed,and your mind will be sharp.
Finally,get plenty of exercise.Exercise firms the body,strengthens the muscles,and prevents you from gaining weight.It also improves your heart and lungs.If you follow a regular exercise program,you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good.Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes:basketball,swimming,bicycling,running and so on are good examples.Sports are not only good for your body,but they are enjoyable and interesting,too.
If everybody,were to eat the right foods,get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly,the world would be a happier and healthier place.We would all live to be much older and wiser.
34.In order to keep good health,C.
A.we should eat a lot of sweets
B.one needs a large amount of fat
C.people should eat according to the foods nutrition
D.we must try to sleep now and then

A.can keep healthy                 
B.is no good for you
C.gets you more energy           
D.will keep your personality
36.The title of the article should beC.
