解析
试题分析：本文讲述了教育中非常重要但又被人们忽略了的一个方面，即自我发现的艺术。因为我们所有的革新和发现，我们所有的创造力，都出自一个来源：就是能够首先看清那里是什么，不是什么，听清说的是什么，不是什么。这就是教会学生自我发现的重要性所在。
小题1:B形容词辨析。A技术性的；B重要的；C 严肃的；D常见的，共同的。由下文的叙述可知自我发现的艺术是非常重要的。所以B选项正确。
小题2:D动词辨析。A 负担得起；B 告诉；C 重复；D 问。此处用两个相同的how to do结构强调前后的对比，由answer可以判断后面填ask ，D选项正确。句意：我们现在的大学造就的是怎样给答案的学生，而不是怎样提问题的学生。
小题3:C动词辨析。A参加；B 进入；C 离开；D 欣赏，喜欢。从后句with skills for the workplace,可以判断是毕业后去工作岗位，故C选项正确。
小题4:C名词辨析。A 学习；B 工作；C 生活；D 思考。从with no knowledge of how to live可知此处仍然指的是生活，句意：没有怎样生活的知识，或者为什么而生活的知识。C选项正确。
小题5:A名词辨析。A艺术；B 主题；C 主意；D 风格，文体。文章开头提出 the art of self-discovery，自我发现的艺术，倾听的艺术，从内容的平列可知后面应该是服从的艺术，A为正确选项。
小题6:C名词辨析。A听；B 说；C读；D写。从下句True reading is not just passing…可知此处指的是阅读，故C选项正确。
小题7:D名词辨析。A嘴唇；B 胳膊；C 手；D眼睛。从常识可知阅读时目光掠过文字， 所以D 选项正确。
小题8:A动词辨析。A收集；B递送，发布；C 送； D 传递。从常理可知人们阅读的目的是为了获取信息，了解情况。所以A选项正确。阅读不仅仅是目光掠过文字，或者收集信息，或者是理解所读的内容。
小题9:B形容词辨析。A本地的；B有创造性的；C 侦探；D敏感的。从下文内容可知阅读时大脑要对所读到的东西进行加工处理，得到一些新的东西，这是一个创造性的过程，所以B选项正确。
小题10:B名词辨析。A感激，欣赏；B想象力；Ｃ 呈现；D指示。根据常识人们在阅读时，会运用想象力使所读的内容以画面的形式出现在眼前。所以B选项正确。
小题11:A名词辨析。A 行业，散步；B 种类；C 边，面；D物件。All walks of life 是固定短语“各行各业”，所以选A。
小题12:C副词辨析。A一般说来；B 显然；C 实际上；D 故意地。从下文They only read what is。。。判断可知此处指人们尽管专业，但是实际上也没有真正地读眼前的东西。所以C选项正确。
小题13:D副词辨析。A 甚至；B 永远；Ｃ仍然；D已经。从上文可知他们读的仅仅是字面的意思，没有运用想象力创造性的读出新内容来，所以D选项正确。
小题14:B名词辨析。A 主题；B 页；C 科目，话题；D 书。从语境可知作者指的是人们在读这篇文章时，所以B选项正确。
小题15:A名词辨析。A创造力；B可能性；C 程序；D 项目。由上文innovations, our discoveries可以推断此处应该是和革新、发现同类的褒义词，所以A选项正确。 |

Education has an important effect on the mind or physical ability of an individual. It is the process by which society passes its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another.
Various non-traditional education options are now available and continue to flourish（繁荣）. One of the most important uses in education is the use of technology. Teachers are encouraged to use new technological devices in order to strengthen learning among students and meet the needs of various types of learners.
The right to education has been created and recognized by jurisdiction（司法）. Education is the most important concern of the government of India. Recently India has gained world recognition because many students from foreign countries come here to gain higher qualifications.
One has to be educated in order to speed up the growth process in order to influence the economy. Education is indeed a powerful weapon to stop the cut- throat competition that man faces at every period of life. The importance of education in India is progressing with time. Although India has been a great foundation of learning for many years, it still needs to improve not just on the quality of education but also on the number of people being educated.
Education is not just for academic success but also to make a person become a better human being and a better performer in life. Education makes the students able enough, so that they can compete nationally and internationally. To make a student a successful survivor in life, the responsibility lies equally with the schools and the parents too. Selecting a good school is as important as choosing a suitable career option for a child. The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth, it is education that gives us all the power and necessities of making a difference in any field.
People who are not educated have few opportunities to do what they want to do. Educated people become more responsible and informed citizens, and have a voice in politics and society. It allows people to be more productive by encouraging them to play responsible roles in terms of contributing to society.

Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.
We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.
Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years.
Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.
While the possibility of such a project is small, it is not impossible .Even if earth –bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth.
The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars.
小题1:What would be the best title for this passage?| A．Terraforming Mars. | B．Saving the Earth | | C．Travelling to Mars. | D．A Newly-found Place |
小题2:What does the underlined word “altering” mean in the second paragraph?| A．Warming. | B．Changing. | C．Planting. | D．Building |
小题3:According to the passage the main purpose of terraforming Mars is to ________.| A．do some scientific research work | | B．find out its similarity to earth | | C．avoid the dying away of many other species | | D．find on Mars living place for the increasing human beings |
小题4:The main reason for causing many people to consider terraforming Mars is that _______.| A．there are some resemblances between Earth and Mars. | | B．terraforming Mars is theoretically simple | | C．we have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: Earth | | D．the development of science and technology is very rapid |
小题5:What’s the author’s attitude towards the project?| A．Optimistic. | B．Negative | | C．Sceptical（怀疑的） | D．Objective. |

Beautiful cars surrounded by even more beautiful models—it’s no secret why the 2012 Beijing Auto Show was popular．
The exhibition was held between April 23 and May 2．Although renowned companies showed off their top models，it wasn’t just their expensive sports cars that grabbed people’s attention．
Concept cars are a way for designers to test out their ideas on the public with complete freedom．They can try out cars with special features that could not be massively（批量）produced easily．
Designers don’t have to follow industry rules；they don’t even need to worry about whether their cars would be followed on the roads．
At the Beijing Auto Show，the@Ant by Chery was one concept car to draw a lot of attention．China Daily called it‘‘the very definition of a concept car”．
The vehicle is powered by electricity and is capable of driving itself．But the magic doesn’t end there．
The@Ant was inspired by actual ants．According to Car News China，with the help of automated telemetric systems，@Ants are able to“see” other@Ants and compare destination information. If two are heading the same way for a while, the vehicles connect, with one car’s rear (后面的)wheels matching up with the front wheels of another car．Up to 10@Ants can be put together and will automatically connect to form a“train"．This will help save energy while traveling, as well reducing traffic jams.
The car sounds like a great idea．Further research will be needed to turn this concept car into something for the market，but concepts like Cherry’s show how carmakers are working for cleaner and greener vehicles．It’s like what the@Ant motto says，“Exploring future human beings’lifestyles”．
小题1:The concept car is getting popular because .| A．it looks like an ant | | B．it is beautifully designed | | C．it is exhibited as a top model | | D．it conveys a new idea for the future |
小题2:How can the@Ants help save energy while travelling according to the passage?| A．By connecting each other and running together | | B．By driving themselves without man’s control | | C．By comparing their destination information | | D．By reducing traffic jams on the roads |
小题3:What the designers of the concept car need to do at the Auto Show is .| A．to test the safety of the concept car | | B．to follow the rules in the car industry | | C．to show their unique idea of complete freedom | | D．to see if concept cars can be massively produced |
小题4:The best title of the passage is .| A．Concept Cars Are Driving to the Future | | B．The@Ant Draws a Lot of Attention | | C．The@Ant Is a Top Model of Concept Cars | | D．Concept Cars Are Cleaner and Greener |

In the near future，we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets，even when it comes to playing popular games like Fruit Ninja．
The Gaze Group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years．But those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities，and are very expensive．
“After a while，we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way，” says Gaze’s Sune Alstrup Johansen．“where everybody would have this available．"
Johansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company，the Eye Tribe，which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial level．
The technology works with the help of the computing device toward the user’s face． After making sure of the user’s eye movements，the technology is then able to easily find where a person’s eyes are moving，and then allow the eyes to control a cursor（光标）．
“Our software can then determine the location of the eyes and know where you’re looking on the screen to make sure what you’re looking at，“reads an explanation on the Eye Tribe site．
There has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years， particularly in the gaming world．Recently Xbox released the Kinect device，which lets users control their Xbox and play certain games using only their hands，legs and voices． But still，most of these devices have been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use one’s hands to control a mobile device．Johansen said a replaceable filter（滤光器）would be a cheap，convenient way for most consumers．
And even as companies like The Eye Tribe work to create such a product for the average user, making the eye-controlled technology more accessible and less expensive will have similar benefits for physically disabled users.
