    Today, there are many chances for those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in one’s career in order to attend school full time.    　　
    Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one’s career and family time. 
    Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible (灵活的) is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from actually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Individual assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.
    Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject, so a student doesn’t need to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence (等同) of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the company or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Supporting distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining (留住) career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education. 　　
    小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part time education?
    A．It requires some break in one’s career. 　　
    B．It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.　　
    C．It affects one’s career.　　
    D．It gives the student less time to share with the family.
    小题2: Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?  　
    A．The student may choose his or her own pace.　
    B．The student may study at his or her convenience.　　
    C．They can pursue their chosen career while studying.　　
    D．Individual assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone and fax machine.

    【试题分析】：短文大意:本文主要通过函授教育和远程教育的比较，来说明远程教育的优点。 　
    小题1:A推断题。问题问及选项中哪个不是业余教育的缺点。依据文章第一段中nearly all require some break in one’s career in order to attend school full time可以看出，参加全日制学习需要中断自己的事业，在第二段中作者又说Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. 业余教育，只需要晚上和周末学习，因此需要中断自己的事业不是部分时间教育的缺点。而其他选项都是文章提及的part time education的不利条件。
    小题2:D细节题。文章提到的优缺点是几种教育方式之间的比较，问题问及哪个选项的内容不是远程教育的优点。前三个选项，A.“学生可以选择自己的进度”，B.“学生可以在他（或她）方便的时候学习”，C.“在学习的同时还可以追求自己的事业”都是文章中提及的与另两种方式比较的优点。在文章第二段最后，作者指出Individual assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. 辅导可以通过定期的航空邮件、电话、传真和电话会议以及因特网等方式进行，作者只是提出了一种可能，实际上是弥补distance education的不足的一个建议，并不是远程教育（函授）的优点。因此选项D符合题意. 　
    小题3:D细节题。选项A、B、C在文章中都没有提及，依据文章最后一段，a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business 一个良好的远程教育计划不仅对个人有好处，而且对那些公司或者商业机构来说也是意义重大。选项D说的也正是这个意思，故为正确选项。  　　
    小题4:C细节题。意为：教授和学生之间的关系是严格地“一对一的”，而这不符合作者意图，参见原文末段，individuality 并不是意指严格地“一对一”。  　　
    小题5:B细节题。注意本题与上题的区别，上一题问及远程教育对公司的好处，本题则是远程教育对职工，也就是个人的好处。同样依据文章最后一段，a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. 远程教育可以帮助雇员提高教育素质和职业技能从而促使事业的发展，正确选项为A。

    It is known to us that computer users are being warned by industry experts to pay attention to secret codes which could be used to record their conversation.
    E-mails, screen savers, and electronic greeting cards can carry a secret code which is able to turn on the computer’s microphone, make a recording, and forward it to someone else without the user’s knowledge.
    In fact any attachments (附件) sent to a computer, whether it is a game of Space Invaders, or a moving picture, can possibly be used to spy (窥探).
    Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because --- although not common --- bugging (窃听) by computer can and has been done.
    Bill Lyons, head of the Internet Security Company Finjan, said, “People in the army have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then computer hackers (黑客) are aware of it. The frightening thing is that there are tools on the Internet which people, using a simple search method, can find, and which will enable them to attach this dangerous code to simple attachments.”
    小题1:What is the advice given in the passage?
    A．Use secret codes to record other people’s conversation.
    B．Be careful when opening an attachment.
    C．Never open any attachments.
    D．Never use secret codes.
    小题2:What worries the experts is that ___ .
    A．nobody seems to believe such things
    B．nobody knows the danger of the code
    C．tools can easily be used to tie dangerous codes to e-mails
    D．effective ways can never be found to deal with the problem.
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．A moving picture cannot be used to spy.
    B．Electronic greeting cards cannot carry a secret code.
    C．A secret code is used to destroy the computer system.

    Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
    The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
    Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
    Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
    小题1:What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?
    A．Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
    B．The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
    C．The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.
    D．Hereditary diseases and cancer.
    小题2:What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
    A．How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
    B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
    C．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
    D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
    小题3:In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
    A．Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
    B．Using gene technology, the scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
    C．Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
    D．Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
    小题4:What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
    A．Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people.

    Electrical devices（仪器）could soon use power make by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking . British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
    The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this , the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg.  The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
    There are several possible uses for the device . Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers（起博器）. It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
    The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year.
    The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
    A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag . But the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
    小题1:The second paragraph mainly talks about       .
    A．who developed the device
    B．how the device works
    C．several possible uses for the devices
    D．how much electricity the device can produce
    小题2:What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?
    A．It is too heavy for the walker to bear
    B．It is too complex for people to use
    C．It is too expensive for most people to afford
    D．It will slow down one’s walking speed.
    小题3:Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome ,this new device       .
    A．produces power without adding more loads to the walker
    B．can produce more power in a much shorter time
    C．needs to be equipped with a battery
    D．can help the walker walk faster
    小题4:From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can       .
    A．help housewives operate the washing machine
    B．make it much easier for us to go online
    C．produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome
    D．be applied to operate heart pacemakers
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．First device powered by walking will soon be on the market
    B．Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers
    C．Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking
    D．Human energy will become a main source of electricity

    About 35 percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears. Many more share a bed with a partner or spouse. Others still co - sleep, alongside children in a family bed.
    But lying with your iPad? A recent survey by marketing agency Rosette found that 68 percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom, more than in any other location. The living room took a close second place, at 63 percent, reports AdAge. com, and only 45 percent of respondents said they use their tablets on the go.
    But bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea, if quality rest is your goal. One of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness, which signals to the brain that it’s time to start speeding up production of the sleep - inducing hormone melatonin. But as the New York Times points out, in our modern world, we are exposed to light long after the sun sets. While any type of light can disturb your sleep, the blue wavelength light given off by cell phones, laptops, tablets and other gadgets is particularly troublesome. Research shows that this blue light causes alertness so decisively that it can actually be used to fight tiredness.
    According to the National Sleep Foundation, 95 percent of Americans use some device, whether it’s a TV, laptop, cell phone or other products, within an hour of killing time. “Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour - making it more difficult to fall asleep,” said Charles Czeisler, Ph. D. , M. D. , chief of the division of sleep medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
    Instead, experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for relaxation, like reading a book, taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses. It’s also a good idea to exercise and lay off the caffeine several hours before bedtime.
    小题1: According to a recent survey, most tablet owners use their iPad ________.
    A．in the living roomB．in the bedroom
    C．in the officeD．on the move
    小题2: What can we know from this passage?
    A．The light from cell phones is harmful
    B．Modern people have trouble falling asleep
    C．Darkness can create a good sleeping environment
    D．Blue light can prevent sleepiness decreasing
    小题3:If we often play with a laptop just before sleep, we’ll be more likely to ________.
    A．dream of itB．stay awakeC．feel sleepyD．become tired

    Do you know mulch? Mulch is a protective cover of material that is spread on top of soil. It is usually made out of organic material, like crop waste. Farmers may keep the remains of corn or other crops on top of the soil. This creates mulch on the soil surface. The plant remains help protect the soil against wind and water damage. Mulching is one of the best things people can do for their plants. It also helps keep the soil from getting dry, and reduces the need for watering plants. It also limits temperature changes in the soil. And it stops unwanted plants, or weeds, from growing.
    Organic mulch improves the condition of soil. As the mulch breaks down, it provides material which keeps the soil from getting hard. This improves the growth of roots and increases the movement of water through the soil. It also improves the ability of the soil to hold water. Organic mulch contains nutrients for plants. It also provides good environment for earthworms and other helpful living things in the soil.
    It is easy to find organic mulch materials. Cut-up leaves and small pieces of tree bark can be used. Grass cuttings are also a good mulch for plants. Mulch from news- papers works well in controlling weeds.
    The best time to add mulch depends on your goal. Mulch provides a thick barrier between the soil and the air. This helps to reduce temperature changes in the soil. As a result, mulched soil will be cooler than other soil in the summer. In winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply as other soil. The best time is after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest weather arrives. Spreading mulch before the ground has frozen may attract small animals searching for a warm place to spend the winter. Delaying the spreading should prevent this problem. The animals will probably find another place to live.
    小题1:The author tells us the following EXCEPT ______.
    A．what mulch is and its advantages
    B．the best time to add mulch
    C．the bad effects of mulch
    D．what can be mulch on the soil surface
    小题2: The following can be used as organic materials to make mulch EXCEPT ______.
    A．tree barksB．plasticC．grass cuttingsD．cut-up leaves
    小题3: The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that organic mulch can ______.
    A．improve the condition of soil
    B．improve the ability of the soil to hold water
    C．provide a good environment for earthworms
    D．improve the growth of roots and increase the movement of water through the soil
    小题4: From the last paragraph, we know ______.
    A．the best time to add mulch is in spring and summer
    B．the best time to add mulch is after the coldest weather arrives
    C．the best time to add mulch is exactly the same time of each year
    D．choosing the best time to add mulch can avoid attracting small animals

    All too often, a choice that seems sustainable(可持续的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇) for fuel from corn. Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea. 
    One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land –including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.
    You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental(环境的) costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.
    小题1:What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?
    A．The growing demand for energy to make ethanol
    B．The increasing carbon dioxide in the air
    C．The greater need for farmland
    D．The big change in weather.
    小题2:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “           ” 
    A．the energy benefitB．the forest loss
    C．climate changeD．burning ethanol
    小题3:The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is           . 
    A．impracticalB．acceptableC．admirableD．useless
    小题4:What does the author mainly discuss in the text? 
    A．TechnologyB．Sustainability
    C．Ethanol energyD．Environmental protection

    Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affect sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
    Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
    Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.
    A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.
    Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
    Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
    小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
    A．The man-made noises.
    B．The noises made by themselves.
    C．The sound of earthquakes.
    D．The sound of the ice-breaking.
    小题2:As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?
    A．They are deaf to noises.
    B．Noises at a certain level may hurt them.
    C．They are easily confused by noises.
    D．Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.
    小题3: We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would______.
    A．prevent them from doing their research work
    B．benefit them a lot in their research work
    C．do good to their health
    D．increase the industrial output
    小题4:According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
    A．They will try their best to decrease noise.
    B．They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.
    C．They will study the effect of different noises.
    D．They will protect animals from harmful noises.

    Many parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is otfen the very thing that closes a youngster’s ears and mouth, One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age……”Eighteen –year –old Kelly calls lectures “Long , one-side discussions in which I don’t say much.”
    Kids reflexively（条件反射地）shout down in the face of a lecture , Their eyes glaze over（呆滞）,and they don’t register any incoming information , Listen to 13-year –old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad, “First, they scream, Then comes the“We’re so disappointed’ speech , Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins , After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back’”.
    Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial, But many of our expert parents, like Bobby , a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on cliches（陈词滥调）to justify our actions, we weaken our position.
    Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them, Therefore ,good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language:‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions（监护）”。
    Betty, who lives in Missouri ,uses and indirect approach, “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about, My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information, Then they never think I’m preaching（布道）”.
    This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving , Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed”, She would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash, Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation, She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions—especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is to       
    A．compare two ways of parents’ communicating with their kids
    B．give parents advice on how to communicate with their kids
    C．explain why kids won’t listen to their parents
    D．introduce kids’ reaction to the communication between them and their parents
    小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT right?
    A．Kids won’t listen to their parents because they think what their parents say is boring
    B．Many kids think they have no right to express their own opinions
    C．Some kids think their parents should apologize when they are wrong
    D．Kids don’t like any discussion at all.
    小题3:What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?
    A．独白B．对话C．插话D．讨论
    小题4:Which of the following topic may appeal to kids?
    A．Parents own experience
    B．Kids possible life in the future
    C．Something related to kids’ present life
    D．What parents have done to their own parents
    小题5:In order to make kids follow their advice, parents should       
    A．tell their kids to listen carefully
    B．set out their warnings directly
    C．list out as many examples as possible
    D．arouse kids’ desire to express themselves
