Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast?
Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast.
This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
小题1:The results of the test show that ______| A．breakfast has great effect on work and studies. | | B．breakfast has much to do with people’s health. | | C．a person will work better if he has simple breakfast | | D．breakfast only affects those who work with their brains . |
小题2:According to the passage, many people think that if you don’t eat breakfast, you will____.| A．do your work badly | B．eat too much for lunch | | C．gain weight | D．lose weight |
小题3:We can infer from the passage that _____| A．one can work better with breakfast. | | B．morning diet will do good to your health. | | C．reducing lunch and supper will help lose weight. | | D．breakfast is more important than lunch and supper. |

In an age dominated （控制的） by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when, if we couldn"t make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（时有时无的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain （统领） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted （进行） and marked online．Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching, will achieve better results．For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning, such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example, in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment, a simple scenario （剧情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work．
小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?| A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach． | | B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials, | | C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today"s world． | | D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning． |
小题2:Which of the following aspects of study doesn"t require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students?| A．Practical sessions． | | B．Tackling the needs of an individual student． | | C．Dealing with more subjective questions． | | D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions． |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______．| A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality | | B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays | | C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past | | D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days |
小题4:Which of the following can be best describe the writer"s attitude towards blended learning?| A．Critical． | B．Objective （客观的） ． | | C．Supportive． | D．Neutral （中立的） ． |

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I"ve been registering scores like that, 23 I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I"m highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don"t such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who 24 the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 25 have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man 26 questions for some intelligence tests．By doing every one of them I"d prove myself a 27 ．In a world where I have to work with my 28 ，I"d do poorly．
Consider my auto—repair man 29 ．He had a habit of telling 30 ．One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man 31 some nails．Having entered a store，he put two fingers together on the counter and made 32 movements with the other hand．The clerk brought him a hammer．He 33 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering．The clerk 34 him some nails．He picked out the right size and left．Well，Doc，the 35 man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors． 36 do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you fool，he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I"ve been 38 that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew 39 I"d catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you"re so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn"t be very 40 ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．

When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, they did it secretly. The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.
The noise about Pearl Harbor, made by Disney，has reached its highest point with its premiere （首次公演） before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
As Ben Affleck is the main star, the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length, it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co－star, Josh Hartnett, both fall in love with the navy nurse, Kate Beckinsale and, of course, there is much human courage and love of country.
It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history. The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.
Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie. It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor．It is said he did nothing, as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities （暴行）. And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan, where it has a theme park.
Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise. A reviewer for Newsweek, who was given an early preview, acknowledged that the 40－minute sequence （连续镜头） showing the attack itself was powerful. The attack comes quite late in the movie, however, and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.
“Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie, ” the reviewer wrote.
小题1:From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to | A．the day the United States was founded | | B．the day people remember their ancestors | | C．a day people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ | | D．a day people remember those who died in wars |
小题2:From the passage we know that Ben Affleck .| A．regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy | | B．may be a very popular movie star | | C．experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident | | D．was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale |
小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?| A．The movie will cause a lot of arguments. | | B．The movie has made the Japanese angry. | | C．The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident. | | D．The movie shows that President Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention. |
小题4:According to the passage, what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?| A．The scenes of the attack leave no impression. | | B．The dialogue in the movie is original and creative. | | C．The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie. | | D．The characters and the love story are less attractive. |
小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?| A．Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor. | | B．The True Fact of Pearl Harbor. | | C．Reviewer：Pearl Harbor is a success. | | D．Attention！Pearl Harbor is arriving. |
