But it is we parents (29)__________ seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner (30)__________ I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom,(31)__________(cry). I said, "What are you doing, my dear?" She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I'm not pretty?

Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, __41__cross the world inside a day, while puters operate at __42__ speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new puter boasts of saving __43__ seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the __44__ feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, speeding too long at puters results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may send harmful radiation into our brains, a __45__ we do not like to think about.However , what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to __46__ activities that we find it difficulty to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the __47__ of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might __48__ a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they __49__ with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern __50__ has freed people from that primitive(原古的)existence.III. Reading prehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. It’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, __51__, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most mon __52__ language learners make and how to correct them. Not listening enough There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __53__ a ―silent period‖. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language. Listening is the municative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __54__ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __55__ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible. A single method Some learners are most fortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __56__ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use __57__ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __58__ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __59__ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __60__ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps. __61__ It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __62__ or insecurity hinder（阻碍）all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often plain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too __63__ making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would __64__ them.The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors __65__ they bee deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve. 51. A. however B. moreover C. furthermore D. therefore52. A. successes B. wonders C. mistakes D. contributions53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. If you like to walk, keep walking-on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. Besides, snowboarding is just great fun.Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing, then. Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be ― shorter, lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner. These newer skis ― along with another type of equipment called skiboards, which are even shorter than skis ― help you control your speed and body movements.Consider testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards？Check with your local sports shops or the rental places at the ski mountains about sample programs.You could also try sledding. Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill. If you prefer ice to snow, think hockey or figure skating.Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists ― or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods. Snowshoes are smaller, lighter, and better than ever. If you want to try them out, you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores.Whatever sport you choose, don’t rely on a friend for instruction. You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors are for ― to help newers start out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.Above all, if you want to progress, invest your time in learning the basic skills thoroughly. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, or skater will be built on these first skills. 66. How many different types of sports are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?A. Six. B. Five. C. Four. D. Three.68. What can we learn from the passage?A. Runners and cyclists cannot train because of the wet or slippery roads in winter.B. Downhill skiing used to be more difficult to learn because of the old-fashioned skis.C. People can rent snowshoes for a day at their local sports shops or the rental places.D. In general, first skills are more important in skiing than in snowboarding or skating.69. What does the sentence “You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate?” imply?A. Don’t let an inexperienced doctor perform an operation on you when injured.B. You may have a brain operation if you ski or skate with a newer.C. Instructors can give better advice on skiing and skating than your friends do.D. It’s dangerous to have an inexpert person teach you to ski or skate.70.Who are the most likely readers of the passage?A. High school students. B. Physical educators.C. Winter sports lovers. D. Professional athletes(B) New Zealand Education~ pulsory Educationpulsory education starts at age and ends at age 16.The day children turn 5,they are expected to start school. They can leave school as soon as they reach 16.~ Class Size The maximum number of students in a class is 30 students.~ Classrooms Students from year 0—8 stay in the same classroom for most subjects and move to other classrooms only for specific subjects. Even when they move from one classroom to another, they mostly stay together as a class. In year 9, students take some courses with their homeroom class and some optional classes with students from different classes. Starting from year 10, students no longer stay in the same classroom most of the time nor do they move around with their classes. They go to different classes based on their own choice and abilities.~ Term DatesA school year starts in January and ends in December. There are four terms in a year. Each term is about 10 weeks. ~ Class Schedule School starts at around 8:30 and ends at 15:15. There are only five periods a day and a period is about an hour long. In the morning, around 10:30, there will be a 20—30 minute interval when students and staff have morning tea. Students usually have some snacks during this time, and staff gathers in the staff room to drink coffee and eat some snacks. There is a lunch period at around 12:40 for about an hour.~ TeachersIn New Zealand, teachers have to teach students of different year level at the same time. Most teachers teach students from at least three to four different year levels. In addition, quite a number of teachers teach more than one subject. This is mainly due to the fact that many courses are optional.70. This passage is most probably taken from _____. A. an educational booklet B. a school website C. a traveling guide D.an academic report71. When you are in your 10th school year, you may _____. A. stay with your classmates in the same classroom for all the subjects B. choose and take some optional courses with your homeroom class C. have both required and optional classes with the same classmates D. choose different classes based on your own choice and abilities72.

Students have a 20—30 minute interval between each period in New Zealand D. Most teachers in New Zealand teach one subject for at least three to four years. (C) Will young people in the future get the same kind of higher education as they do today? Perhaps no Bill Gates, for one, thinks the idea of a college education is on the way out. “Five years from now on the Web of free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world, said the 55-year-old Microsoft chairman at the Techonomy conference in california. US, last month. “It will be better than any single university.” he continued. Gates points out the high expense of cllege tuition fees and argues that textbooks are of lower quality than resources available online. Online technology is the only way to reform education and to expand it, Gates claims although he certainly has an interest in its increased use. Google has now scanned and made available online 7 million books and Wikipedia is the world’s largest ever encyclopedia(百科全书). Changes such as these are altering the way people share information. “suddenly, it is possible to imagine a new model of education using online resources to serve more students, more cheaply than ever before.” Anya Kamentetz wrote, in an article for the magazine Fast pany. The author thinks that traditional universities will find themselves on the wrong side of history, along with print newspapers and record stores. A Professor of Brigham Young University in US, agrees.” if universities can’t find the will to innovate and adapt to changes in the world around them, universities will be irrelevant by xx. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology put coursework online for free in xx. Today, there are a great many educational websites, offering video and audio lectures by the best professors in their fields for free. With more university course materials available on the Web, education is changing fast. “The old model of education is no longer sustainable(可持续的). The university of the future can’t be far away,” Kamenetz concluded. But there are worries. “I see a problem with online lectures. Learners have access to games, blogs and other sites at a click of a button. Those are more fun than a lecture. Being in a classroom at least makes them more focused on the lecture,” said one student in Wuhan. Gates also mented that students would need to be as hard-working as ever: “ Well, provided they’re self-motivated learners.”74. pared with college education today, online resources _________.A are inexpensive and allow a course to bine a wide range of subjects.B allow students to learn and play at the same time.C are of better quality and meet students’ needs better.D emphasize the improvement of students’ practical skills.75. The underlined word “irrelevant” in paragraph 6 could be replaced by_______.A in a fine condition B beside the pointC behind the times D no longer existent76. Which of the following is TRUE of Gates’ idea of higher education?A Universities will still be essential in the near future.B A university education on its own will not be enough in the future.C Online universities will definitely replace place-based universities.D College students need to work hard if they are to make full use of online resources.77. What’s the best title of the passage?A Present Education Mode B Future Online EducationC Ongoing College Innovation D Valuable Web Resources （D） MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere inthe world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation. The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in xx, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, prising 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-principal. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in petition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.” Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.” Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOC。
