    It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The     __  __ has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by learning situation that has designed for the         children.
    There can be little doubt that         classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these         out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
    Many are concerned that gifted children become         and lose interest in learning. However this concern is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these         simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are talented. Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they         so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an         child.

    Forbes asked a panel of architects and campus designers to nominate their picks for the best-looking campuses in the world. These are their top choices.
    Kenyon College
    Gambier, Ohio, US
    Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Va., design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company, says to be beautiful a campus must have a “signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand.” At Kenyon College, that space is “Middle Path,” a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus’ central artery. More than just a trail, it’s a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon, says the college, both isolated and pastoral, is “a small place to think big thoughts.”
    Oxford University
    Oxford, England
    Teaching within Oxford’s stone walls dates as far back as the 11th century, and the school is considered a paradigm(典范) for all college campuses. With its labyrinth of quads, cloisters, and archways, it evokes elegance and tradition at every turn. “Its monastic roots and the spectacular quality of its buildings make it an architectural wonderland,” says David Mayernik, associate professor at Notre Dame’s School of Architecture.
    Princeton University
    Princeton, N.J., US
    Princeton’s style is pure Collegiate Gothic（学院派哥特式）; most of it executed in gray stone covered in, yes, ivy. As imposing as these old stone structures are, the campus keeps life on a “human scale” by preserving green spaces and walkability.Sinuous footpaths, archways, plazas – all are designed to inspire spontaneous discussion and learning.
    Scripps College
    Claremont, Calif., US
    The total plan of this women’s college, founded in the 1920′s, has always called for artistic connection between buildings and landscape. Together, architect Gordon Kaufmann, in collaboration with landscape architect Edward Huntsman-Trout, created a distinctively Southern Californian blend of Mission Revival-inspired architecture and landscape, which is lovely, evocative and intact. An expert in deciduous trees, Trout planted rows of liquid amber trees to give the students “a sense of autumn” come fall. He also peppered the campus with tulip trees, sycamores, almond and orange trees, as well as rare shrubs.
    Stanford University
    Palo Alto, Calif., US
    New additions like the Science and Engineering Quad manage to gracefully blend modern and technological elements with the timeless, elegant aesthetics of the campus’ early California Mission Revival architecture. The campus also scores big points for its dramatic entrance via Palm Drive, its romantic Spanish red-tile roofs and myriad patches of green.
    Tsinghua University
    Beijing, China
    Forbe’s panel of architects says natural setting plays a big part in assessing a campus’ beauty. In that regard, this campus is blessed: Founded in 1925, Tsinghua sits on the former site of the Qing Dynasty’s royal gardens. Many of Beijing’s most notable historical sites, like the Summer Palace, are close by. The campus is peppered with artificial ponds where stone benches and floating lotus blossoms inspire reflection.
    小题1:In this text, the writer mentioned many best-looking campuses in the world. How many Universities are in America?
    A．Six.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:which school is considered a paradigm for all college campuses.?
    A．Oxford University.B．Stanford University.
    C．Scripps College.D．Princeton University.
    小题3:Which University has the style of pure Collegiate Gothic?
    A．Tsinghua UniversityB．Oxford University
    C．Princeton UniversityD．Kenyon College
    小题4: In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage?
    A．Entertainment.B．Education.C．Culture.D．Health.
    小题5:Why does Tsinghua University enter the list of the best-looking campuses in the world？
    A．because the amber trees give the students “a sense of autumn” come fall.
    B．because the artistic connects between buildings and landscape.
    C．because its natural setting plays a big part.
    D．because it is founded in 1925.

    Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．
    The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．
    But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．
    When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．
    According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．
    However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．
    Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．
    Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired， according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．
    When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．
    Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．
    小题1:If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can         ．
    A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
    B．organize our time around work demands
    C．do whatever our body feels like doing
    D．be sure to be healthy
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm
    B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．
    C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．
    D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．
    小题3:According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true?
    A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．
    B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．
    C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．
    D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．
    小题4:Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us     ．
    A．when we get up in the morning
    B．when we are tired in the evening
    C．when we are full of energy in the late morning
    D．when we are asleep at night
    小题5:Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?
    A．What is natural body rhythm?
    B．Natural body rhythm is good for us．
    C．Something about natural body rhythm．
    D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．

      Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It catalyzed physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life. By opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant form city centers than they were in the premodern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles. Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years – lots that could have housed five to six million people.
    Of course, many were never occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it. Chicago is a prime example of this process. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth.
    小题1:With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?
    [A] Types of mass transportation.
    [B] Instability of urban life.
    [C] How supply and demand determine land use.
    [D] The effect of mass transportation on urban expansion.
    小题2:Why does the author mention both Boston and Chicago?
    [A] To demonstrate positive and negative effects of growth.
    [B] To exemplify cities with and without mass transportation.
    [C] To show mass transportation changed many cities.
    [D] To contrast their rate of growth.
    小题3:According to the passage, what was one disadvantage of residential expansion?
    [A] It was expensive.
    [B] It happened too slowly.
    [C] It was unplanned.
    [D] It created a demand for public transportation.
    小题4:The author mentions Chicago in the second paragraph as an example of a city,
    [A] that is large.
    [B] that is used as a model for land development.
    [C] where the development of land exceeded population growth.
    [D] with an excellent mass transportation system.

    Across the United States, universities and colleges have been looking to become more sustainable (可持续发展的) and more than 600 schools have already planned to become eco-friendly. The EcoDorm, home to 36 students at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, was designed to be sustainable from top to bottom, or in this case, from its rainwater-collection system to its garden. The dormitory is bringing new meaning to the concept of living “green” at college.
    At Warren Wilson College, a biological science school with fewer than 1,000 students, the sustainability drive came from the student body. The EcoDorm concept was presented ten years ago by two students; a planning committee firstly suggested using building materials like corncob. Although the architects disagreed with the idea, they came up with other creative solutions: Wood siding was taken from the trees grown in the school yard that were suffering from a disease, and rainwater was collected in an old railway car and pumped back into the house to clean the toilets.
    All in all, the dorm uses nearly two-thirds less electricity than a similar-sized traditional building would. But even the most sustainable homes need continued efforts from its livers. And in the case of EcoDorm, students live by their words. Most also take advantage of the dorm’s bio-garden, planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. “I didn’t have to worry about paper towels being wasted or feel bad about drying my clothes outside,” Jeremy Lekich, the dorm’s gardener, said. “Basically, it has made my life easier.”
    小题1:We can learn from the text that the EcoDorm in the US     .
    A．offers students the chances to have a natural living at college
    B．was firstly built by two college students
    C．was designed for saving building materials
    D．is only applicable in few schools
    小题2:The second paragraph is mainly about     .
    A．where the EcoDorm was built
    B．when the EcoDorm got its name
    C．what the EcoDorm is made of
    D．how the concept of EcoDorm started
    小题3:What is the advantage of the EcoDorm?
    A．It helps students to enjoy life at college.
    B．It saves a lot of money and energy for the college.
    C．It makes students study harder.
    D．It brings new energy to the college.
    小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
    A．A long-term development calls for students’ efforts.
    B．Students’ ideas should be encouraged at college.
    C．Green living is a new trend at American colleges.
    D．Students can learn to protect the environment through practice.
