阅读理解。     A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child" s hearing ability is normal.
Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he" s heard at school.
     Why should this be? It" s because he" s not using his heating ability to help him to remember and
understand what he" sheen taught. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by
what they hear. They" ve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember
things by what they see, They" ve got good seeing memories.
     Some children have equally good ability of both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less
fortunate, seem to have poor hearing ~d seeing memories. Most children, I" d say, unwillingly prefer one
method over the other for learning and remembering. But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad
habit and deprives (剥夺) the child of the full use of his natural senses.
     Mrs Allen was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son" s hearing. "But
he never seems to really understand what he hears. That" s what his teachers tell me," she said.
     "My psychological examination of William shows he" s weak in his heating memory ~" I said,"but he has
perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."
     "Our family doctor examined William and he said the boy" s hearing was all right. So, that proves you" re
right on that point." Admitted Mrs Allen."So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you
say, Dr. Dursteln."
     "You can do a lot to improve William" s hearing memory, but it" 11 take time. You must be patient and
not expect results immediately." I cautioned (告戒).
     I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs Allen to come back and see
me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program. 1. Those who have poor hearing memories _______.A. can not hear sounds clearly
B. are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned
C. are poor at learning things by what they have heard
D. have the habit of learning things by what they have heard. 2. The author suggested that Mrs Allen try some ways _______.A. to train her son" s hearing memory
B. to make use of her son" s natural senses
C. to make good use of what her son heard
D. to understand the trouble in which her son was involved 3. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word "incredulous" means ______.A. unbelieving
B. unbelievable
C. satisfying
D. satisfied 4. Which of the following is true? A. Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.
B. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.
C. The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.
D. The author didn" t suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.

阅读理解。     Each term. Andrew Tom receives a term bill, tuition (学费), student center recreation fee, resident activity
fee, health insurance. If only the rest of his expenses were as easy to quantify (确定数量).
    "It" s like you start out the term With plenty of money and then $ 20 for dinner out here and $100 at the
department store there, it" s gone," said Tom, a third-year student."And there are so many daily necessary
things that you don" t think about until you get there and need it."
     From the books to the fashionable clothes, college students say~ the expenses of a college education go
well beyond tuition and a dining hail meal plan. Many say they arrive on campus only to be frightened by
unexpected costs from sports fees to the actual price of a slice of pizza.
     Balancing a job with schoolwork, especially at colleges known for their heavy workloads like Harvard and
MIT, can be tough. So can the pressure that students of- ten feel in order to financially go along with their
friends.
     "When you get dragged along shopping, you"re going to spend money; if you, get dragged to a party and
everyone wants to take a taxi but you are cheap and wantto take a bus, chances are you" 11 end up sharing
the fee for the taxi," said Tom."Iguess you could say no, but no one wants to be the only one eating in the
snack bar while our friends are out to dinner."
     Max Cohen, a biology major at MIT, said he is used to watching fellow students spend $ 40 a night to
have dinner delivered or $ 50 during a night out at a bar. During the school" s recent spring break, friends on
trips for the week posted away messages that read like a world map-Paris, Rome, Tokyo."Meanwhile I
stay at home and work," said Cohen."I didn"t realize when I came here how much money I would spend or
how hard I would have to work to get by."
     It is a lesson some younger students learn quickly. Others, surrounded by credit card offers, go into debt,
or worse, are forced to leave school.
     "A lot of people don" t think twice about how much they spend," said a first year student at M1T,"and you
feel the pressure sometimes to go along with them." 1. What do we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The tuition in the college is very high.
B. Andrew Tom should reduce the budget (预算).
C. It" s easy to quantify how much will be spent each term.
D. The cost of college education is much higher than expected. 2. The underlined word "cheap" in Paragraph 5 means _______.A. inexpensive
B. unwilling to spend money
C. valueless
D. low in price and quality3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Students have to work hard to pay their tuition.
B. Most students have heavy loads in their studies.
C. Many students are under great financial pressure.
D. Students depend on their families for all the expenses. 4. According to the writer, what causes the high costs for college students?A. Lack of budget.
B. The school" s overcharging.
C. The high prices of daily necessary things.
D. Financially going along with each other.

阅读理解。     Vint Cerf, who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television
was approaching its "iPod moment"
     In the same way that people now download their favourite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers
would soon be downloading most of favourite programmes onto their computers."85 percent of all video we
watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it all the time," said Mr. Cerf, who is now the
vice-president of the Google, the world"s largest search engine.
     "You are still going to need live television for certain things-like news, sporting events and emergencies-but
increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod, where you download content to look at later." But some
critics, including some internet service providers, have warned that the Internet will collapse under the strain of millions of people downloading programmes at the same time.
     Broadband companies claim that the service will cause "traffic jams", which will cost millions of pounds to
sort out.
     But Mr. Cerf dismissed the warnings as "scare tactics", saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that
the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it.
     "In the intervening 30ears it"s increased a million times… We"re far from exhausting the capacity," he said.
"It"s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online."
     "I want more Internet," he said. "I want every one of the six billion people on the planet to be able to connect to the Internet." 1. What can we learn from the passage about TV in future?A. The TV will be booming.

阅读理解。     As a Fulbright (富布莱特法案基金) scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from
some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside. At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this
society. I needed to be aggressive (好胜的) to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian
students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
     I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class. The professor didn"t act as an authority (权威),
giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One
linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal (情态) verbs-far more than
I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said:"this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.
It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day." Or," You may find the book I
recommended helpful." Or,"You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting." When
making comments in students"performances, the professor usually said:" It might have been much clearer if
you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester."
     In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students
always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when
foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than
those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why
they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to
use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas. 1. According to the author, American students ______. A. tend to offend others in class
B. show no respect for their teachers in class
C. are more active than Asian students in class
D. are more polite than Asian students in class 2. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.A. argue with their students
B. be more sure about their answers
C. express their ideas more clearly
D. develop their students" own way of thinking3. Which of the following statements best expresses the author"s idea? A. Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.
B. American professors are not responsible since they don"t give students answers.
C. American education produces aggressive students.
D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students" creativity.4. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article? A. Comparison and contrast.
B. Cause and effect.
C. Giving examples.
D. Description. 5. What is the author"s attitude towards education in U.S.? A. Positive
B. Negative (否定的)
C. Neutral (中立的)
D. Unsure

阅读理解。     So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do
for which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It
is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught
directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
     Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function
of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most
efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.
     Learning to read involves all that each individual does not make sense of the world of printed language.
Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public
scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will
aid the child in knowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions."Make learning to read
easily, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
     When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill
them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is
made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. 1. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that____. A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B. students spend endless hours in reading
C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching of reading 2. The teaching of reading will be successful if ____. A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading
D. teachers can make their teaching activities observably 3. The word "scrutiny"(Para.3) most probably means____. A. inquiry
B. observation
C. control
D. suspect 4. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ____. A. children become highly motivated
B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D. reading enriches children"s experience 5. The main idea of the passage is that ____. A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D. reading is more complicated than generally believed

阅读理解。     You never see him, but they"re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast
you"re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand
(承受) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They"re known as the black
box. 　　
     When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean
June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine
(潜水艇) detected the device"s (设备) signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward
determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. 　　
     In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic
information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement
on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965
the box was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane - the area least affected by impact-from
its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that
the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be discovered more easily. 　　
     Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots" conversations, and a
flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help
investigators reconstruct the aircraft"s final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by
a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge force and temperatures up to
2,000℉. When in deep water, they"re also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the
boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep,
but statistics say they"re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years,
only one plane"s black boxes were never recovered. 1. What does the author say about the black box? 　　A. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane. 　　
B. The idea for its design comes from a magic book. 　　
C. Its ability to avoid disasters is unbelievable. 　　
D. It is an inseparable device on an airplane. 2. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner? 　　A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash. 　　
B. The total number of passengers on board. 　　
C. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage. 　　
D. Signals sent by the pilot before the crash.3. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965? 　　A. New materials became available by that time. 　　
B. Too much space was needed for the device. 　　
C. The early models often got damaged in the crash. 　　
D. The early models didn"t provide the needed data. 4. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow? 　　A. To distinguish them from the colour of the plane. 　　
B. To caution people to handle them with care. 　　
C. To make them easily discovered. 　　
D. To meet with international standards. 5. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447? 　　A. There is still a good chance of their being recovered. 　　
B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed. 　　
C. They have stopped sending signals back. 　　
D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
