阅读理解。      There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the
students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education
allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they
do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow
them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will
not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is
a good idea to be in an open classroom.
     But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too
few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education.
Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem
getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the
classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this
kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it.
Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom
may have many problems at their schools.
    You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained.

good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The
writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes.
They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many
students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects
if they did not have to.1．Open education allows the students to           .A．grow as the educated

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)       Psychology (心理学) tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks,
especially when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
     Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn"t have the fear to move on.This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don"t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
      In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire to
experiment and take chances.
     Risk taking is a great benefit that allowed our ancestors ( 祖先) to become stronger and stronger day
by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new land. This attitude has become a part of our modem culture.Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous.
      Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. We need to take risks so that we can
finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve
are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they
could not make more money.
     We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn

阅读理解。     With another invention in use, viewers will be also able to watch TV while walking to the office, taking a bus or simply waiting in line for lunch.
     A Beijing-based company named Innofidei Inc. claims to have developed the first mobile TV chip for
the market, which can change hundreds of thousands of mobiles into micro-TVs.
     With this chip, people can receive TV signals on their phones and watch programs without any time or space limitations.
     "As long as the handset terminal (接收终端设备) has a colored screen and a battery, our chip can turn it into a mobile TV," said Meng Fei, director of Innofidei"s business development department. The chip can be placed into a cell phone, a PDA, an MP4, a digital camera or even a laptop. He said that this, together with plans by China"s state broadcaster, would ensure the 2008 Games lives up to its promise as a
"People"s Olympics".
     "Our chips are cheap so that cell phones with them will not be much different in price from regular
phones," Meng said. "CCTV will offer some free channels during the Games, so people can enjoy the
Olympics for free."
     SARFT(国家广播电影电视总局) is planning to build a regional test network in Beijing and hopes to start trials as soon as possible. The goal is to deploy CMMB (部署中国移动多媒体广播) on a national level by the first half of 2008.
     Innofidei is now busy selling their chips to cell phone makers so that the new generation of phones
reaches the market in early 2008.
     "Our invention successfully combines the good points of the two best-selling consumer products in
history-TV sets and cell phones, " said Meng. "In the near future, soccer fans won"t be tearing their hair out because they are stuck in traffic and missing the chance to see their favorite team"s play."
     Local baseball fans, meanwhile, will be able to draw comfort from the knowledge that-both at the
Olympics and afterwards-their teams will be playing on a field designed to help recycle water.1. Which of the following CANNOT be turned into a mobile TV according to the passage?A. A cell phone.
B. A PDA.
C. An MP3.
D. A laptop.2. Which of the following would possibly happen with the invention of the chip?A. Sports fans watch Olympic Games on cell phones in 2008.
B. People watch video CDs on the MP4.
C. A game addict plays 3D games on a PDA.
D. Listening to news broadcast on radio.3. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. we cannot buy a mobile TV before the 2008 Olympic Games.
B. soccer fans will be angry when they miss the chance to see a TV program.
C. the baseball field will play a part in helping recycle water.
D. the invention of the chip successfully combines TV sets and cell phones.4. The best title for this passage would be "_______".A. A new invention for Olympics
B. A new generation of cell phones
C. Watching live games on TV for free
D. People"s Olympics

阅读理解。     Why do we call the sounds of birds, whales and insects songs? Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty, and some mellifluous (动听的) structure that touches us more than any possible
message. Though for many years science has cautioned against hearing too much of what we humans
would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds, the musicality in some sounds is now
starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself.
     Many specific animal sounds express aggression(进攻), warning, or food, but such practical
explanations are tough to apply to the long songs. Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours. The
usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area. But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs, which have many of the elements
related to human music: rhythm, melody (旋律), themes, repeating patterns, organization, variety, interest - all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years. "Birds taught man," wrote Roman poet and philosopher (哲学家) Lucretius, "and taught them songs before their art began."
     What is the scientific value of such sounds? The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to
reach out to nature through music is that though we don"t fully understand it, it is so accessible.
     Music refuses explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, which humans can"t
live without. Finding music in the sound of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers
(边缘) of nature see much closer to us. 1. The underlined phrase "cautioned against" in Paragraph 1 probably means "_____". A. warned against
B. fought against
C. been filled with
D. been satisfied with 2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. We call the songs of birds" sounds because there is beauty that sounds pleasant to the ears.
B. It is believed that birds are singing to attract mates or to warn the limits of their areas.
C. The songs of a bird really carry an emotional message such as "aggression and caring".
D. It is not very long for people to know that birdsong does have something beautiful. 3. By saying "Birds taught man", what did Lucretius mean? A. People teach rhythm, melody, themes, repeating patterns to birds.
B. Birds can teach people how to go on singing a song up to 24 hours.
C. Human music has, in fact, come from the sounds of birds in nature.
D. Humans learned something beautiful from the sounds of many animals4. From the passage we know that music in nature _____. A. can"t be explained at all
B. is very easy to pick up and listen to
C. can"t be understood at all
D. is of no scientific value

阅读理解。     Try imagining what the world will be like in the year 3000. Some serious thinkers are starting to imagine just that.
     Bart: I don"t know that present-day electronic chips are, but some sort of chips - I"d guess maybe
plastic. Our three-pound brain is definitely a wonder, perhaps the greatest wonder of natural biology. In
this coming century, we"ll be re-engineering the brain a piece at a time, first with implants (植入物) and
finally engineering an complete replacement. There"s no question that in the distant future we"ll play the
music of the mind on instruments different from the current ones. So, yes, chips are our destiny (命运).
     Edward: In 3000 perhaps the biggest difference from today is that there will be no more men. Females can have female children, without any need for men. In about ten years, we"ll find the cocktail that women can take to have female children. There"ll be no need for men at all.
     Greg: What is Heaven? Heaven"s a place where you can create worlds at will, and the ideal Heaven is where you run the whole thing yourself. The current means of getting to Heaven involve various
supernatural systems for which, at this point, there"s no scientific evidence. So I think we can reduce
Heaven to an engineering project which we"re doing. The demand for Heaven is great-witness the desire of every human heart, from the people who built the ancient pyramids to modern society, to live beyond one"s given time. Our plan is to change human consciousness from the brain to bits of information in a computer
chip, or some other kind of computational medium, so that just by thinking we"ll be able to create our own personal world. And I think the first stage of Heaven will be the feeling world, and beyond that I think we"d find a higher, more spiritual plane.1. According to Bart, the brain may be the greatest wonder in the future because _____.A. it may weigh as much as 3 pounds
B. it may be driven by plastic chips
C. it may be replaced by robots
D. it may play the music of the mind2. What does Bart refer to by saying "chips are our destiny"?A. Chips are our last choice in the future.
B. Chips are on the way to controlling mind.
C. Chips are the production of future technology.
D. Chips are the implants in the distant future.3. In 3000, what about the population of the world?A. It will be all made up of females.
B. It will be larger than that of present.
C. It will mainly consists of children.
D. It will be reduced by a drink of cocktail.4. According to Greg, Heaven in the future is a place where _____.A. your scientific idea exists
B. you have once traveled
