    16．California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative．"Starting this fall with high school math and science，we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks．"That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June，talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online．He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense．
    California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles．Digital ones can offer the latest information．They lighten the load of school bags．They save paper and trees，and make learning more fun and interactive．And above all，he said，they help schools with their finances．
    The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems．More than six million students attend California public schools．
    Earlier this year，California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools．These had to meet at least 90% of the state's learning requirements．Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them．Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation，a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years．The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them．The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family．
    California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks．Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves．Susan Martimo，a California Department of Education official，says she does not expect widespread use right away．Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them，but only in addition to their traditional books．
    School administrators point out that the texts may be free online，but students need a way to access them．Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader．Schools could print out copies，but that would not help the environment．Also，there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively．

    36．The Digital Textbook InitiativeD．
    A．will probably take effect in six years
    B．covers all the high school subjects
    C．has been approved by all states
    D．is advocated by California state governor
    37．Digital textbooks are most meaningful in that they are toA．
    A．help save money                  
    B．benefit the environment
    C．provide interesting materials    
    D．reduce students'heavy burden
    38．Which of the following is TRUE of the CK 12 Foundation？D
    A．It publishes all the books for students free of charge                   
    B．It provides money to write and edit all the textbooks in the USA
    C．It is organized and supported by Khosla Family                   
    D．It offers digital math and science materials for high schools
    39．According to Susan Martimo，digital textbooks willC．
    A．come into fashion from now on
    B．soon replace traditional ones
    C．first be adopted by well-equipped schools
    D．surely be approved by school districts
    40．It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB．
    A．schools are reluctant to print out copies
    B．the program is not easy to carry out
    C．students have no access to the computers
    D．teachers fail to use the textbooks effectively．

    分析 这篇文章是关于由加州州长提出并推行电子书的项目及实施这项项目的难处．

    解答 36-40  DADCB
    36．答案 D   根据第一段中的"That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June，talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online．He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense．"可知，电子书由加州州长提出并推行．故选D．
    37．答案 A  根据第二段中的"And above all，he said，they help schools with their finances．"可知，最主要的是电子书能够省钱，因此A选项是正确．而干扰项D项意为：可以减轻学生沉重的负担．由第二段第三句"They lighten the load of school bags．"可知，指的是重量上的减轻，电子书本代替传统的书本，使得学生的书包变轻了，并非指精神负担．B、C两项并不是最重要的．故选A．
    38．答案 D   根据第四段中的"Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation，a nonprofit group"可知，A项说法错误；根据文章大意可知，是加利福尼亚州提倡数字教科书而不是整个美国，故B项错误；根据第四段最后一句"The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family．"可知，C项说法错误．根据第四段第一句中"California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools"可知，CK 12基金会为高中提供电子版的数学和科学素材，D项说法正确．故选D．
    39．答案 C 根据倒数第二段最后一句"Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them…"可知，设施条件好的学校会首先使用数字教材．故选C．
    40．答案B 根据最后一段可知，学校管理层指出尽管电子教科书可以免费在线获取，但并非每一个人都有电脑或者电子阅读器．学校能够打印出一些，但是这对环境又有不利影响．同时，使用电子书也是一笔花费．由此可推断出这个项目的实施并不是一件很容易的事．故选B．

    7．Hi guys!I'm Lucy the Ladybird and while I'm very much of a lady，I'm not actually a bird but a glowing red beetle（甲虫） with decorative black spots．
        I'm a friendly little bug，to be honest，and simply like to be close with my pals as long as they handle me very gently．I don't bite humans but I do sink my teeth into mean beasts like aphids （蚜虫） which，unlike me，are very harmful to all the plants．I milk the aphids just like people do with cows and I milk them dry of all the sap （汁） they have got from your poor plants．I'm a real gardeners'friend and love helping out around the place by pollinating flowers，tidying up plants'fallen leaves and helping to turn them into nice rich fertilizer to feed everything both above and below the soil，and naturally，being so attractive to look at，we are perfect living garden decorations．
       One thing I can not tolerate is all that poisonous pollution from vehicles，garbage burning and other un-environmentally friendly acts that occur in the cities every single minute of the day and night．Pollution of any kind really chokes me to death，so these days，I only live in clean countryside areas，particularly cool ones where it rains and everything grows fresh and green from spring right through to autumn．In winter，when the weather is too cold for me to bear，then I find a nice place to sleep until the snow has gone and I can come back out to play．
       Oh!I almost forgot to tell you that although I am not a bird I do have wings and can fly for short distances．So if you pick me up and let me run up and down your hands and arms，then please don't frighten me by screaming if I suddenly secede to take off!
    21．What threatens Lucy the Ladybird most？C
    A．Heavy rains．B．Cold weather．C．Air pollution．D．Aphids．
    22．From the second paragraph we can learn that Lucy thinksD．
    A．ladybirds are the best living things in the garden
    B．ladybirds are the most honest living things in the garden
    C．the garden is a perfect place for ladybirds to live in
    D．ladybirds add beauty to the garden naturally
    23．What do we know about the ladybird？A
    A．It belongs to the insect family
    B．It does harm to all growing plants．
    C．It lives on the liquid of plants
    D．It can fly a long distance．
    24．How many aspects about the ladybirds are talked about in the passage？C
    a．its appearance      b．its influence on plants
    c．its habitat         d．its food         e．the origin of its name 
    A.2          B.3                C.4                D.5．

    4．When students arrive on campus with their parents，both parties often assume that the college will function in loco parentis（处在父母位置），watching over its young charges，providing assistance when needed．Colleges and universities present themselves as supportive learning communities-as extended families，in a way．And indeed，for many students they become a home away from home．Ideally，the college nurtures（养育）its students，guiding them toward adulthood．
    Lifelong friendships are formed，teachers become guides，and the academic experience is enriched by social interaction．For some students，however，the picture is less beautiful．For a significant number，the challenges can become overwhelming（压力过大）．
    In reality，administrators at American colleges and universities are often forced to focus as much on the new generation of students．Public institutions in particular are often faced with tough choices about which student support services to fund．Private colleges are feeling the pinch（棘手）as well．Although tuition and fees can increase as much as 6.6percent in a single year，as they did in 2007，the high cost of doing business at public and private institutions means that students are not necessarily receiving more support in return for increased tuition and fees．To compound the problem，students may be reluctant to seek help even when they desperately need it．
    Just as colleges are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges being posed by today's students，students themselves are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges posed by college life．Although they arrive on campus with high expectations，some students struggle with shyness or perfectionism，learning disabilities or eating disorders•Still others experience failed relationships； some suffer from acute loneliness，or mental illness．
    Unfortunately，higher education is sometimes more of an information delivery system than a
    responsive，collaborative（合作的）process．We have created cities of youth in which students can pass through unnoticed，their voices rarely heard，and their faces rarely seen．As class size grows in response to budget cuts，it becomes even less likely that troubled students，or even severely disturbed，will be noticed．When they are not，the results can be tragic．
    As a teacher of creative writing who has worked with many overwhelmed students，I have found that there are ways to communicate more effectively．Most students have stories they want to share，and students in trouble can be desperate to find someone who will listen to them．Parents，as their children's primary listeners，have a key role to play．Some young people are unable to find their own way out of the dark，and a meaningful dialogue can become a light for them to see by．That is not to say that writing can be used to identify mental illness； rather，I think some of the approaches writing teachers use to enter into a reflective dialogue with students can be adopted by parents and students who want to learn more about each other．Having witnessed what can happen when a student communicates with himself，I believe this kind of responsive，one-on-one communication is more important than ever．Students in creative writing classes may have no idea that they have revealed so much about themselves because，for them，writing is like speaking inside the pages of a journal．In fact，all of us who write reveal more than we imagine．This is one of the reasons why writing，even more than speaking，can provide us with important insights into ourselves and others．
    Many of us don't know our students as well as we should，yet it can be easier than we imagine to begin these necessary dialogues．

    1．When a magazine for high school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years，they said：Machines would be run by solar power．Buildings would rotate（旋转）so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat．Walls would"give light"and"change color with the push of a button．"Food would be replaced by pills．School would be taught by electrical impulse（电脉冲）while we sleep．Cars would have radar（雷达）．Does this sound like the year 2000？Actually，this article was written in 1958and the question was，"what will life be like in 1978？
    The future is much too important to simply guess about，the way the high school students did，so experts are regularly asked to predict accuately．By carefully studying the present，skilled businessmen，scientists，and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen．But can they？One expert on Cities wrote：Cities of the future would not be crowded，but would have space for farms and fields．People would travel to work in"airbuses"，large all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200passengers．When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar．The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents"almost unheard of"．Does that sound familiar？If the expert had been accurate it would，because he was writing in 1957．His subject was"The city of 1982"．
    If the professionals sometimes sound like high school students，it's probably because future study is still a new field．But economic forecasting，or predicting what the economy will do，has been around for a long time．It should be accuate，and generally it is．But there have been some big mistakes in the field，too．In early 1929，most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market．In October of that year，the stock market had its worst losses ever，ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers．
    One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant error．In 1957，H．J．Rand of the Rad corporation was asked about the year 2000，"Only one thing is certain，"he answered．"Children born today will have reached the age of 43．"

    36．How many examples does the author offer to describe the future lifeB？
    A．Three          
    B．Four           
    C．Five           
    D．Six
    37．The high school students'answers to"What would life be like in 1978？"soundB．
    A．accurate        
    B．imaginative     
    C．correct         
    D．foolish
    38．In the second paragraph，the writer gives examples to showD．
    A．predicting about the future can be done in a humorous way
    B．no predictions are based on careful research
    C．experts are always better than others in figuring out what the future will be like
    D．forecasting the future is not an easy job even for experts in this field
    39．From the third paragraph we can learn thatC．
    A．economy forecasting is rather a new field
    B．experts began economy forecasting in 1929
    C．the predictions about economic situation caused the investors to lose lots of money
    D．good，accurate forecasting helped the stock market overcome the difficulties
    40．H．J．Rand's prediction about the year 2000shows thatB．
    A．it is easy to figure out in advance what will happen
    B．it is difficult to figure out in advance what will happen
    C．only professionals can figure out in advance what will happen
    D．very few professionals figure out in advance what will happen．
