    Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same problems as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests and dropping enrollment（入学注册）. Then the school’s hard-driving headmaster, Delores Bolton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. What’s more, the board provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million.
    Now, an hour before classes start, every seat in the library is taken by students who cannot wait for getting online. Fifth-grade teacher Jen Friday talks about different kinds of birds as students view them at a colorful website. After school, students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework. Since the computer arrived, enrollment is up 20%. Scores on state tests are up 35%.
    Indeed, school systems in rural Maine and New York City also hope to follow Arace Middle School’s example. Governor Angus King had planned using $50 million to buy a laptop for all of Maine’s 17,000 seventh-graders – and for new seventh-graders each fall.
    In the same spirit, the New York City board of education voted on April 12 to create a school Internet portal（入口）, which would make money by selling ads and licensing public school students. Profits（盈利）will also provide e-mail service for the city’s 1.1 million public school students. Profits will be used to buy laptops for each of the school system’s 87,000 fourth-graders. Within nine years, all students in grades 4 and higher will have their own computers.
    Back in Bloomfield, in the meantime, most of the kinks have been worked out. Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized（非法的）websites. But teachers have the ability to keep an eye on where students have been on the Web and to stop them. “That is the worst when they disable you,” says eighth-grade honors student Jamie Bassell. The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine Hypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”
    小题1:The example of Carmen Arace Middle School in the passage is used to ______.
    A．show the problems schools are faced with today
    B．prove that a school without high enrollment can do well
    C．express the importance of computers in modern education
    D．tell that laptops can help improve students’ school performance
    小题2:According to the writer, students in New York City’s public schools will ______.
    A．enjoy e-mail service in the near future
    B．make money by selling ads on websites
    C．all have their own laptops within nine years
    D．become more interested in their studies with laptops
    小题3:The underlined word “kinks” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
    A．plansB．projectsC．problemsD．products
    小题4:From the passage we learn that ______.
    A．a school Internet portal is the key to a laptop program
    B．the laptop program also has a good influence on parents
    C．students slowly accept the fact their online activities controlled
    D．the laptop program in public school is mainly for the eighth-graders

    小题1:D
    小题2:A
    小题3:C
    小题4:B

    试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文主要讲述了一些学校为了改善学生们的在校学习状况，为老师和学生们配备了笔记本电脑，并取得了一些成效，因此一些其它学校也打算在学校中推出类似服务。
    小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一二段描述，可知作者举卡门艾瑞斯中学的例子主要是为了说明笔记本电脑有助于改善学生们的在校表现。故选D。
    小题2:细节理解题。根据短文倒数第二段描述可知，在不久的将来，纽约公立学校的学生将会享受电子邮件服务。故选A。
    小题3:词义猜测题。联系后一句Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized（非法的）websites.描述，可知已经发现了大部分问题。故选C。
    小题4:推理判断题。根据最后一段The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine Hypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”描述，可知这个笔记本电脑项目同样对家长们有好的影响。故选B。

    Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
    Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
    So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
    小题1:Satellites travel _____________.
    A．in spaceB．in the atmosphere
    C．above the groundD．above space
    小题2:Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.
    A．the weather satellites can do it easily
    B．clouds form there
    C．the weather forms there
    D．the pictures can forecast the weather
    小题3:Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
    A．when they have received satellite pictures
    B．after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
    C．before they received satellite pictures
    D．during they study satellite pictures
    小题4:Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.
    A．one dayB．two days
    C．five daysD．seven days or even longer
    小题5:The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.
    A．taking pictures of the atmosphere
    B．receiving pictures of the atmosphere
    C．doing other work in many ways
    D．weather forecasting

    “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
    That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
    All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
    There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them!
    Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
    If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
    小题1:When people buy things in shops, they often _____.
    A．try them on first
    B．keep their right hands on them
    C．ask about them
    D．feel and touch them
    小题2: Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? because ______.
    A．the things are used by people, too
    B．people feel the things too often
    C．people know how to use the things
    D．the things are easy to feel
    小题3: Which of the following is true?
    A．Touching is helping us to see better.
    B．Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.
    C．People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.
    D．Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
    A．Touching by Feeling.

    C．To See Better-Feel
