    Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health，but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects.Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 3～5 times，and occasionally more than 100 times，higher than outdoor levels.These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.
    There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home.These include sources such as oil，gas，coal，wood，and tobacco products，building materials，wet or damp carpet，and furniture made of certain pressed wood products，products for household cleaning and maintenance，personal care，or hobbies，central heating and cooling systems.
    Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure (暴露) or repeated exposures.These include irritation of the eyes，nose，and throat，headaches，dizziness.Such immediate effects are usually short­term and treatable.Sometimes the treatment is simply removing the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution，if it can be identified.
    The likelihood of immediate reactions to indoor air pollutants depends on several factors.Age and pre­existing medical conditions are two important influences.In other cases，whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity，which varies tremendously from person to person.Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures，and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.
    Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral (病毒性的) diseases，so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution.While pollutants commonly found in indoor air are responsible for many harmful effects，there is considerable uncertainty about what concentrations or periods of exposure are necessary to produce specific health problems.People also react very differently to exposure to indoor air pollutants.Therefore，further research is needed to better understand the effects of indoor air pollution and to find efficient ways to protect our health.
    小题1:According to the first paragraph，which of the following is NOT true?
    A．People often fail to notice indoor air pollution.
    B．Indoor air pollution sometimes is more dangerous than outdoor air pollution.
    C．Outdoor air pollution may not be so serious as indoor air pollution.
    D．It is obvious that people have been paying more attention to indoor air pollution.
    小题2:According to the author，which may NOT be the source of indoor air pollution?
    A．Building materials.B．Wet carpet.
    C．Cooling system.D．Refrigerators.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “irritation” in the third paragraph probably mean?
    A．Bad intention.B．Much sensitivity.
    C．Injury.D．Carelessness.
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Reactions of PollutionB．Danger from Home
    C．Pollution ResourcesD．Different Pollutions

    There is no denying that over the years college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt. All high school graduates should go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more, become “better” citizens and be more responsible than those who don’t go.
    But college can never work its magic for everyone. Now with half our high school graduates attending college, those unfit for the pattern are getting more. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition for admission into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.
    Some observers say the fault lies with young people themselves --- they are spoiled and expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation (谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame our society. Both are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.
    Some campus watchers suggest that college may not be the best, the proper or the only place for every young person after finishing high school. It seems that through the rosy (玫瑰的) glow of our own college experiences, we may have been looking at those surveys and statistics upside down. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around. Intelligent, ambitious, happy, quick-learning people are merely those who are attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful even without college education. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to pile up.
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, ______.
    A．people now no longer challenge college education
    B．people have great expectations for college education
    C．the author thinks youngsters should all go to college
    D．people still have a low opinion of college education
    小题2:More young people drop out of college because ______.
    A．they are no longer motivated in their studies
    B．they can start selling shoes and driving taxis
    C．they compete for admission to graduate schools
    D．college administrators encourage them to do so
    小题3:Who does the author think is responsible for campus unhappiness?
    A．young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.
    B．our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.
    C．our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.
    D．young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE about those surveys and statistics?
    A．They prove high school graduates are smarter than college graduates.
    B．They are so convincing that we think of our rosy college experiences.
    C．They may have been misread because of our rosy college experiences.
    D．They prove wrong because they contradict our rosy college experiences.
    小题5:What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?     
    A．It is just the oppositeB．There is no right way
    C．It is the wrong wayD．There’s no other way
    小题6:What is the main purpose of this passage?
    A．To inform young people college education is no longer important now.
    B．To prove college education doesn’t make young people more intelligent.
    C．Toargueagainsttheideathatcollegeisthefirst choiceforallyoungsters.
    D．To tell young people that there’s something wrong with college education.

    Wikipedia: The Online Know-It-All
    If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search for it is Wikipedia. The name “Wikipedia” is from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “quick”. This online encyclopedia (百科全书) is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with Internet access can write, add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors. But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies (技术专家) can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits. Where there are disagreements on how to present facts, editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject.
    Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed encyclopedias, it is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years.
    What’s more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. Since its creation, it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites, attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly. There are more than 77,000 active contributors working on more than 22,000,000 articles in different languages. As of today, there are 4,396,866 articles in English.
    So, if you are looking for some information, why not try Wikipedia? It’s free, multilingual，and informative.  
    小题1:According to the passage, what is Wikipedia?
    A．A free website encyclopedia.B．A computer game.
    C．A free encyclopedia in book form.D．An online university.
    小题2:From the passage we know that ______.
    A．Wikipedia only charges users a small fee
    B．Wikipedia catches a wide audience
    C．incorrect editions might do great harm to Wikipedia
    D．it will take long to update the information on Wikipedia
    小题3:Where can we probably read the passage?
    A．In a story book.B．In a research report.
    C．In a science magazine.D．In a travel brochure.

    Read a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.
    You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.
    Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”
    When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!
    Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability. After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts.
    And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.
    小题1:According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?
    A．They needn’t read unless the exams come.
    B．They should read books about intelligence.
    C．They must read about politics when their major is medicine.
    D．They should read as wide as possible.
    小题2:The underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
    A．interested B．many-sidedC．contentD．confident
    小题3:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Increase your ability for reading
    B．Read wide and improve your vocabulary
    C．Reading improves your intelligence
    D．Reading makes you a leader tomorrow
    小题4:What is the benefit of knowing more words?
    A．You will get used to referring to the dictionary when meeting with new words.
    B．You will have less difficulty expressing your opinions.
    C．Vocabulary will improve your creativity.
    D．You can pass your exams with ease.

    Parents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
    I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said. "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him."
    He hasn't forgotten them. He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them. She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
    Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don't like your dress; it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
    "Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
    小题1:This text is most probably written by _______.
    A．a headmaster of a middle school
    B．a specialist in teenager studies
    C．a parent with teenage children
    D．a doctor for mental health problems
    小题2:The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as _______.
    A．lazyB．quietC．unusual　　　　　D．rude
    小题3:From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _______.
    A．pay no attention to them
    B．feel helpless to do much about them
    C．are too busy to look after them
    D．have come to hate them
    小题4:What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
    A．Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
    B．Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
    C．Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
    D．Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

    A group of senior high school students are playing outside on a basketball court. They are shouting with excitement. And they all have the same dream. They wish to play in the NBA, just like Huston Rocket’s Yao Ming. “Someday, there will be more Chinese players like Yao in the NBA,” said 15-year-old Xie Tao, a senior 1 boy at Shanghai No. 2 Middle School. Xie always watches Yao playing on TV. “He is a great player. He makes me proud to be Chinese,” he said.

    In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, all of us need to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved the most effective.
    The scientific literature evaluating these techniques goes back to decades and across thousands of articles. It’s far too extensive and complex for the average parent, teacher or employer to look through. Fortunately, a team of five leading psychologists have done the job for us.
    Professor John Dunlosky and other psychologists closely examined 10 learning strategies and rated each from high to low utility(实用) on the basis of the evidence they’ve gathered. Here’s part of their conclusions:
    In contrast to familiar practices, the effective learning strategies with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the lab. Take distributed practice, for example. This strategy involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon. Cramming (死记硬背）information at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from your memory. It’s much more effective to look through the material at intervals over time.
    And the longer you want to remember the information, whether it’s two weeks or two years, the longer the intervals should be.
    The second learning strategy that is highly recommended by Dunlosky is practice testing. Yes, more tests---but there not for a grade. Research shows that the mere act of calling information to mind strengthens that knowledge and aids in future retrieval (检索). While practice testing is not a common strategy---despite the strong evidence supporting it ---there is one familiar approach that captures its benefits: using flash cards. And now flash cards can be presented in digital form. Both distributed practice and practice testing were rated as having “high utility” by Dunlosky.
    小题1:How did the psychologists study and rate the learning strategies?
    A．By analyzing the materials gathered in the past years.
    B．By asking some students questions about their study.
    C．By doing some experiments on the objects in the lab.
    D．By asking parents and teachers to look through the articles.
    小题2:The underlined word “extensive” in Para.2 means _____.
    A．small in amount
    B．easy or quick to do
    C．more than is needed
    D．dealing with a lot of information
    小题3:About distributed practice and practice testing, it’s true that _____.
    A．many students have benefited a lot from them
    B．they were first put forward by John Dunlosky
    C．only a small number of experts know about them
    D．psychologists are studying whether they are effective
    小题4:The strategy of distributed practice shows that ______.
    A．we should not study for long hours every day
    B．reviewing what we have studied is of little help
    C．the shorter the interval is, the better we’ll study
    D．doing repetition at intervals is the best way
    小题5:The evidence shows that the strategy of practice testing ______.
    A．is a way to use flash cards to help study
    B．is mainly used to help us remember well
    C．helps know about students’ grades in time
    D．is a way widely used to strengthen memory
