    We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.
    Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)
    But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.
    I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.
    To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.
    TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.
    Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.
    TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.
    小题1: When the writer says “A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shows his________.
    A．humorB．sympathyC．deep concernD．medical knowledge
    小题2: We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world________.
    A．bad things cause people to break down in the rain
    B．bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
    C．people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
    D．you can’t hear the crack of lightning and see the accompanying flash exactly at the same time
    小题3: On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?
    A．The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
    B．The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.
    C．The news shown is always about someone the person knows.
    D．TV always shows news about famous people.
    小题4: What’s the main idea of this passage?
    A．Life skills can be learned from TV.
    B．What happens in TV is quite different from reality.
    C．Watching TV makes people more creative.
    D．TV plays an important role in society.

    小题1:A推理判断题。根据前后句可以判断，作者是以诙谐幽默的口吻表述电视对我们的教育。故A正确。
    小题2:D推理判断题。根据文章第三段及最后一句And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.可以判断D项正确。故D正确。
    小题3:C细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二句话TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know.得知正确选项为C。故C正确。
    小题4:B主旨大意题。文章作者通过一些事例，主要描写电视与现实生活中的一些事情大不相同。故B正确。

    Eyesight problems are common among all ages and if they are left untreated, they can cause serious headaches or other problems. The good news is that most eyesight problems can easily be sorted out by wearing glasses.
    Regular eye tests are important for everyone. Children and teenagers, under the age of 16 and up to the age of 19 for those full-time education, have the right to have eye tests for free in Britain. As the eye test is free, there’s no excuse for not having a regular eye test. Doctors suggest that it’s better to have an eye test about once a year.
    Wearing glasses isn’t always regarded as all that cool and teens who suddenly need to wear glasses may find it difficult to accept. If they’ve grown up wearing glasses, then they may be more used to it. However, if your eyes are in poor health, not wearing glasses can put even more pressure on your eyes and could make them even worse.
    Thankfully, the days of little choice of glasses frames (框架) for teenagers are gone and there’s now a wide selection of frames. If a teen does need to wear glasses, then it’s good to let him or her choose the type, as he or she will be able to choose something he or she feels comfortable. Don’t forget to be guided by the experts on glasses too.
    小题1: According to the text, teens in the UK ______.
    A．have few eyesight problems
    B．can design their own glasses
    C．change their glasses very often
    D．can check their eyes without paying
    小题2:How often do doctors suggest teens to have an eye test?
    A．Once a month.B．Once every six months.
    C．Once a year.D．Twice a year.
    小题3:It can be learned from the text that teens ______.
    A．find it difficult to buy comfortable glasses
    B．prefer to wear cool glasses at an early age
    C．are advised to wear glasses if their eyesight is poor
    D．think they are much cooler when wearing glasses
    小题4:In the past, teens who wanted to buy glasses ______.
    A．were unable to find the right glasses
    B．only had a few styles to choose from
    C．could not find an expert to ask for advice
    D．were worried about the quality of glasses

    Women work harder than men at university and get better degrees as a result, according to a study at Brunel University.
    The research, which followed 200 students for four years, found that women consistently outperformed men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost identical A-level grades.
    An analysis of the results showed that while 65 percent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 percent of male graduates did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research showed that trend continued at university.
    Fiona Smith, who led the research, said, “The research shows that the difference has something to do with schools in general.”
    “It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion. Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, but they still receive less pay.”
    The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
    Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
    In contrast, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
    Generally, people think that women’s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
    Dr Smith said, “Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated (男性主导的) environment they will encounter at work. Good grades are viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work.”
    “This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education,” he said.
    小题1:The research at Brunel University showed that women ________.
    A．did worse than men both at school and at university
    B．got better grades than men
    C．paid little attention to their courses
    D．often missed classes
    小题2:Which of the following about men is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．They work as hard as women.
    B．They spend as much time on courses as women.
    C．They play a lot more than women.
    D．They consider good grades to be an “insurance policy” for success.
    小题3:We can infer from the results of the research that ________.
    A．women do better both at school and at university
    B．female students are more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors
    C．compared with men, women are in an unfavorable condition in the male-dominated world
    D．it’s easier for women to get rises in pay and promotion
    小题4:The main purpose of the research is to _________.
    A．give the government some advice on higher education
    B．show us some information about higher education
    C．show the sex difference in higher education
    D．make all students work hard and realize the importance of higher education

    Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States，where he’d made millions working as a program manager，Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing．
    What Awuah wanted was to create a university in his native Ghana．a state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders．Awuah moved with his family back to Ghana．There，he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University．
    “Africa needs to have a renaissance(复兴),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to take the risky decision．“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people like me need to be part of the solution；I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this change in Africa‘‘
    Located about an hour's drive from the capital Accra，Ashesi，which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach．Its campus，set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso，was designed to be inspiring for the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there．
    “So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years．When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s，that person is going to be a leader．”
    Today Ashesi，which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year，offers degrees in business，information systems and computer science．There are plans to offer engineering and economics majors in the near future．The school’s graduation rate is between 70％and 90％，according to Awuah．
    In our last freshman class，50％ of the students paid full tuition(学费)，25％were on full scholarships and 25％on partial scholarships ,”he said．“The reason why variety is so important is that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom，”adds Awuah．
    小题1:In Awuah’s opinion，Africa should be changed by

    小题3:The university founded by Awuah_____.
    A．came into being 10 years agoB．was named with “beginning”
    C．is located in the capital of GhanD．will be run for 30 years
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A．Ashesi has offered five degrees since it was founded．

    Every electronic gadget (小玩意) needs good memory. A music player stores songs, albums and playlists. A computer holds schoolwork and programs and remembers how far a player has advanced in his or her favorite game. Mobile phones store names, numbers and hundreds of texts.
    Now, scientists in California say they have come up with a way to turn a living cell into a memory device.
    It can store only one tiny bit of information, but it’s a start. In the future, a cell-based gadget might travel through the body and record measurements. The benefit to human health could be big: the right tool, for example, might record the earliest signs of disease.
    Doctors, scientists and other curious people want to know what is happening inside the body, even at levels that can’t be seen by the naked eye. So far, there is no device small enough to travel through the bloodstream.
    If normal machines won’t do the trick, perhaps biology will. Scientists who work in the field of synthetic (合成的) biology are trying to find ways to turn living things into human tools. In the case of the new memory device, bioengineers from Stanford University used the genetic material inside living cells to record information.
    This genetic material consists of DNA. Found in nearly every cell, DNA carries all of the information that keeps a living thing alive.
    In the new experiment, the researchers turned DNA from bacteria(细菌) into a switch. They “flip (翻转)” a small section of DNA. Then, using the same procedure (过程) , the scientists flip the section again—returning it into its normal structure.
    Using these DNA switches, “We can write and erase DNA in a living cell,” bioengineer, Jerome Bonnet, explained to Science News.
    It might take years before his team or others identity whether a DNA-based memory device might be practical. Right now, it takes one hour to complete a flip. That is far too long to be useful. Plus, a flipped section has a very small little memory—less than what a computer uses to remember a single letter.
    “This was an important proof that it was doable,” Bonnet told Science News. “Now we want to build a more complex system, something that other people can use.”
    小题1:What is the aim of listing the electronic things in the first paragraph?
    A．To make the passage more fashionable.
    B．To show how electronic things have memory.
    C．To discuss things in detail.
    D．To make the subject of the text more understandable.
    小题2:What is possible future benefit of the cell-based gadget for people?
    A．To detect disease at the earliest point.
    B．To help improve the memory.
    C．To help people build a body.
    D．To replace many electronic gadgets.
    小题3:What is the object being researched?
    A. The cells of bacteria.         
    B. The DNA of bacteria.
    C. A section of bacteria.         
    C. The nucleus of bacteria.
    小题4:What do we know about a flipped section of DNA?
    A．It has a very small memory.
    B．It can function as a computer.
    C．It has one letter in it.
    D．It takes a day to complete it.

    It should be very clear that we live in a most spectacular（壮观的）time. It’s a time when information is of primary importance. It’s a time when new information technologies are fundamentally transforming the world in every aspect. Among the changes, which have come upon modern society, the ones in education are probably the most obvious and influential. New information technologies are accelerating changes in education, at the same time presenting revolutionary tools with the potential to make education more efficient and more effective than ever.
    The application of new information technologies has remarkably promoted the process of education. Online learning is probably the best case in point. As is often the case with “technology”, online learning may appear to be horrible; it can sound like alphabet soup sometimes. Now let’s see whether you can understand all this. You can participate in CBT at a CLC via the convenience of IDL. What does it all mean? Let me translate: GBT—Computer-Based Training; CLC—Computer Learning Center; IDL—Interactive Distance Learning. Sound complicated? Not really. Online learning is much less complicated than it seems. Students can learn at any time, anywhere, at any speed. They can make their own learning schedules and follow their own paths to suit their lifestyles. In my university, every semester there’re several online courses available, which need no class meetings or paper materials. The only thing I have to do is just to get online regularly as I wish, and download necessary learning materials. Then everything I need to know about the course is only a click away.
    But online learning is not perfect; it’s like the microwave oven: it does some things better, but it is not a complete replacement for the traditional model. The traditional classroom model for education and learning is hard to leave behind. Because humans are social creatures, there’re times when we need to see each other face-to-face for interactive learning. A social and personal connection often builds effective teams, solves problems, and inspires confidence. So one possible solution is to combine online learning with the old traditional classroom learning , which not only makes the learning process faster and cheaper, but also highlights the interactions between teachers and students.
    The bottom line: the Internet is the most important educational tool in the information age and online learning will become a main part of every individual’s learning experience in the future. That’s exactly how we will move knowledge from the ones who have it to the ones who need it faster and cheaper, and that’s how we’re going to survive in the information age.
    小题1:The most suitable title for the passage should be “___________.”
    A．Education in the information age
    B．Advantages and disadvantages of online learning
    C．Online learning vs classroom learning
    D．How to survive in the information age
    小题2:In Paragraph 3 the microwave oven is mentioned as an example to indicate that_________.
    A．online learning needs improving
    B．online learning doesn’t suit everyone
    C．online learning will exist alongside the traditional model
    D．online learning is more advanced than the traditional model
    小题3:Which of the following descriptions about online learning is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．It is more efficient and effective.
    B．It is convenient to both teachers and students.
    C．It stresses interactions between teachers and students.
    D．It is a cheaper way of learning.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that________.
    A．not all the people are in favor of online learning
    B．it is not easy to combine online learning with classroom learning
    C．in the future all the courses will be available online
    D．in a sense our survival in the world depends on online learning
