doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.
It"s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills (技能) will improve
and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered (考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot
of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents" care and deal with all kinds of things they haven"t had to
do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean
of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study
well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost
of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in
China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept
training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal (金牌) at the Athens
Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in,consider whether studying abroad is the
right choice (选择). | | 1. From the passage, we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to ______. | A. taste a new life
B. make a lot of money
C. learn about the world
D. learn to look after themselves | | 2. The writer thinks ______ should be considered first before students study abroad. | A. places
B. time
C. money
D. language | | 3. The writer mentions Liu Xiang in the passage in order to tell us that ______. | A. Chinese teachers are better than American ones
B. studying abroad is not the right choice
C. people can also be successful in China if they work hard
D. Liu Xiang was a gold medal winner | | 4. Which of the following is NOT true? | A. Studying abroad will cost students" families a lot of money.
B. Studying abroad will make it easy for students to learn well.
C. Studying abroad will help students to improve language skills.
D. Studying abroad will bring students a lot of difficulties in their life. | | 5. This passage is mainly about ______. | A. the question of studying abroad
B. the dream of studying abroad
C. the choice of studying abroad
D. the story of studying abroad | | 阅读理解。 | Is it time to get MP3?
Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored
in your PC if they"re in the MP3 format (格式).
What is it?
MP3 compressed (压缩) music into small computer files. You may download MP3 music several ways:
Music can be downloaded from websites that have turned wide music libraries into MP3. Once MP3 music
is on your PC s hard drive, you can play it through your computer"s speakers, "burn" it onto blank CDs or
swap (交换) MP3 files with friends using e -mail. | How much?
Software needed to play and turn MP3 music is often free. Compact portable MP3 players start at
around $ 40 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a
dollar. | Advantages (优点)
MP3 turns your home PC into a jukebox (自动唱机). Small MP3 players are the size of a deck of cards,
making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.
Disadvantages
You may find that some websites only allow you to listen but you can"t download music. Others let you
download music but can"t be copied to MP3 players. And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible
to copy songs to a computer. | | 阅读理解。 | Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes? Some students at Winter Park High School just
quickly get up and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course, their teachers and classmates do not see
them because all their class work is on the computer.
The Florida High School, the state"s only on-line school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home
by computers.
"I"m a lot more comfortable at home," said Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old who is taking a computer class
on line. He thinks (A) the school"s computer lab is so noisy that he can"t study well." Home is much better,"
he says.
Students in this first on-line program take classes in math, American government, chemistry, computer, and Web-page design. They also have to go to regular (正规的) school to attend other classes.
When a student is ready to begin in class, he or she (B) _______ the computer, reads the teacher"s
instructions, and begins working on the lesson for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the
teacher? Or the teacher wants to say something about the work a students is doing? The student and the
teacher talk to each other every day through e-mail or by telephone.
Is it easy for students to cheat on tests (考试作弊) when they"re working at home? (C) The teachers have
already thought about this. They make students take their final exams in person in the classroom.
"You see most of the same things on-line that you see in a regular classroom," says teacher Linda Hayes.
If this first on-line program goes well, in three years Florida High School students will be able to take all
their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas (毕业证
书) without having to (D) 走进教室. | 1. 将画线部分（A）改写成 the school"s computer lab is _______ noisy for _______ to study well.

phone, you don"t see the person you are talking with. This may change in the near future.
Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two
people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show to the person you"re calling. They may
have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you"ll
be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your
picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you"ll go to your phone
and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the thing you"re interested in right over the phone. You"ll be
able to shop all over town and never even leave your room! | | 1. Today people can use the phone to talk with others _____. | A. in all the towns

live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily,
we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large
numbers of people to Mars-it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of
light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can
be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants
produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be
dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans
on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in a
large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our
work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is
connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student
will also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be
the same-meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also,
space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably
be very uncomfortable. | | 1. According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live _____. | A. on Mars
B. on the moon
C. under the sea
D. in the sun | | 2. So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship? | A. Two or three days
B. A few months
C. A few days
D. A few years | | 3. In the future, the students on Mars _____. | A. will study mainly through the internet
B. will study mainly in a classroom
C. will meet each other face to face every day
D. needn"t study at all | | 4. Life on Mars will be better than life on the earth because _____. | A. only a few people will live there
B. there will be more space and less work to do
C. there will be much delicious food
D. all students don"t need to do any homework | | 5. According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true? | A. Transport will be much better and faster.
B. We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.
C. On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.
D. Food will be much more tasty. | 最新试题
