Passage 8(2014江苏盐城亭湖区,C)
I love my Blackberry mobile phone—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my comput?er's it holds all of my writing and thoughts.However,I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and tmly com?municate with others.
I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas,because I want students to fully study the materials and discuss with each other in the classroom. I have a rule—no computers,iPads,phones,etc.When students were told my rule,some of them were not happy.
Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative ex?periences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There's a bit of truth to that.I've seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however,I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers, classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all.As I noted above,I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students thoughts and make them depend too much on outside infor?mation for ideas.I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and to make con?nections between the course material and the class discussion.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the envi?ronment that I create.Students realize deep conversation and difficult tasks and they learn at a deeper level—a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won^ ever change my mind about technol?ogy use in my history class,but until I hear a really good reason for the change,I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
1. The writer's rule for his History Matters class is .
A. discussing historical ideas deeply
B. studying and discussing the materials
C. leaving technology out of the classroom
D. making right use of technology in class
2. The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. similar B. unforgettable C. special D. unpleasant
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.
B. The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversa?tions.
C. The writer encourages students to agree with others after discus?sion.
D. Students are unhappy with the writer's way of teaching history.
4. The writer wants to tell us that .
A. technology has different influences in different classes in college
B. technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class
C. history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking
D. it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class

Passage 5 (2015 浙江杭州,C)
Are you shy? If you are,you are not alone.In fact,close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives.These days,shyness is becoming more and more common.Now,scientists are tiying to understand shyness.They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes.They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly.These babies are a little qui?eter and more watchful than other babies.Interestingly,these shy ba?bies usually have shy parents. As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children.They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied (欺侮) by their older brothers and sislers. As a result,they became shy. At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.Growing up alone,they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were bom. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences.InJapan,most people said they were shy.But inIsrael,only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of fail?ure. InJapan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about them?selves.They blame ( 责备) themselves for their failure. InIsrael,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.InIsrael,freedom of opinion and risk-taking are strongly supported.This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness.They suggest trying new things and practicing conversa?tion. And don't forget—if you are shy,you are not the only one.

A. Most little babies are horn shy and quiet.
