Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all children"s education, according to new research. Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling University"s school of education, says that "enforced (强制的) silence " is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children"s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of "enforced silence",-deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment--- can have a significant effect on pupils" concentration and behavior. It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils" academic ability. A study almost a decade ago in London found that children"s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter (杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating. Dr. Lees said, "When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self- confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person"s life and an individual"s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit." Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of "reflective silence" into the timetable. Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute"s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day. |
1. According to Dr. Helen Lees, "enforced silence" _____. |
A. is an effective way of punishment B. does not make much sense in class C. can improve pupils" confidence D. makes pupils more creative |
2. The underlined word, "suppress", in the second paragraph probably means "_____". |
A. prevent B. improve C. apply D. reveal |
3. What can be inferred from the research on school settings? |
A. Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms. B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils. C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate. D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures. |
4. What would be the best title for the text? |
A. Arranging classroom settings benefits studies B. Achieving silence is beneficial for people C. Using enforced silence is effective punishment D. Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance |

The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial (冰川的)activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long. For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds. The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island. |
1. The large number of small islands along the coast of Maine is the result of _______. |
A. the drowning of the Maine coastline B. glacier"s forcing mountains into the sea C. the irregularity of the Maine coastline D. ocean water"s flooding the mountain range |
2. From the passage, we learn that _______. |
A. the coastline of Maine is ten times longer after the Ice Age B. there are more than 2500 islands along the Maine coastline C. Mt. Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretch D. an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt. Desert Island |
3. What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park? |
A. It welcomes all the people, rich or poor. B. It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers. C. It offers visitors both entertainment and education. D. It is a border between the two geographical zones. |
4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? |
A. The past and the present of Maine B. The formation of Maine coastline C. Efforts for preserving national parks D. Tourist attractions on Mt. Desert Island |

Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia (氨). They can also reduce the strong smell of ammonia gas. The trees capture dust, ammonia and smells in their leaves. They can also reduce energy use. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutions from soil and groundwater. Several years ago, people were objecting to the smell of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United States. Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together. Two thousand farms there can each house an average of seventy-five thousand chickens. Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow. But then in the 60s, farms began to use mechanical ventilation (通风) systems. Instead of windows, the mechanical systems used tunnel fans to circulate (使…循环) air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors. Researchers began dealing with the problem in 2000. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by 18%. Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers. The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy. | 1. How did the mechanical ventilation system work? _____________________________________________________ 2. The number of chickens raised on the poultry farms in Delmarva is up to ____________________. 3. The benefits of planting trees around poultry farms are _________________. 4. What is the main topic of the passage? _____________________________________________________ |
