    That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in  1 for seventeen years, I had no  2  about my ability to hold their attention and to  3  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
    I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "  4  !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  5  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  6  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps  7  their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
    My students  8  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  9  by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.  10  her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  11  theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  12  for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _13  they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
    It was a long term, and it  14  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise   16  questions and provide enough background so that students could  17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _18_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
    _19 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a  20  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

    SEE a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hit­ting "print" on your computer.
    You might find it hard to believe that you could actually "print" an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to under­stand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
    Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂)and certain metals. The thinner each layer is --- from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair ---  the smoother and finer the object will be.
    This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3-D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
    Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry--- printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC.
    Taken out of the factory and in­troduced to more diverse and com­mon uses, 3-D printing can create just about anything you can think of ---flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell Univer­sity in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3-D printer, accord­ing to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
    However, as 3-D printing becomes more commonplace, it may bring about certain problems --- such as piracy. "Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?" an expert in 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3-D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
    小题1:According to the article, in the future, the 3-D printing technology will ___.
    A．enable people to make better purchases online
    B．be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
    C．change the way we make many products
    D．shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
    小题2:What was the big event happening in the 3-D printing industry last year?
    A．The 3-D printing technology was taken out ofthe factory.
    B．The 3-D printer became more affordable forconsumers.
    C．The 3-D printer was used for medical treatmentfor the first time.
    D．3-D printing technology began to be used invarious fields.
    小题3:How is the last paragraph developed?
    A．By analyzing a cause and an effect.B．By making comparisons.
    C．By giving examples.D．By presenting research findings.
    小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Printing out everythingB．Technology in the future
    C．Online shopping disappearingD．Great demand for 3-D printers

    In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism（反恐怖主义） world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.
    Since the 1960s, the United States and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, to recover inert torpedoes（鱼雷）and to test objects used in Naval exercises.
    Program officials estimate that the sea lions in the Marine Mammal Program have recovered millions of dollars of U.S. Naval torpedoes and instrumentation dropped on the sea floor.
    The U.S. Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring CNN became one of only a handful of media outlets to see firsthand how the program works.
    The program has trained about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar (生物声纳) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35 California sea lions, with superb underwater eyesight.
    Not only do these trained marine mammals track and retrieve millions of dollars in U. S. military equipment, they are also helping to save lives.
    The Navy won't disclose whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively intercepted （阻拦）terrorists attempting to do harm to any U.S. facilities.
    "Either way, it serves as a deterrent（阻碍） effect." says Christian Harris, operations supervisor for the program. The mammals can be deployed（调动） via C-130 cargo aircraft to perform their missions anywhere in the world within 72 hours. They have been used in exercises from Alaska to Hawaii, operating in great temperature and environmental ranges. They also have the capability to operate off vessels.
    Dolphins most recently were deployed in the Iraq war, performing mine detection and clearance operations in the Persian Gulf to ensure safe passage for humanitarian ships delivering aid. Some of these Iraq war "veterans" are now back home, tasked with a new mission: guarding nuclear submarines in their homeports of Bremerton, Washington, and Groton, Connecticut.
    小题1:The underlined word "retrieve" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ________.
    A．find outB．recoverC．saveD．detect
    小题2:Which is NOT the purpose of the Marine Mammal Program?
    A．To detect sea mines and swimmers.
    B．To save lives of people.
    C．To recover inert torpedoes.
    D．To help the U.S. Naval test equipment.
    小题3:What can be inferred according to the text?
    A．These trained marine mammals eat pounds of fish a day.
    B．The U.S. Navy performed the Marine Mammal Program for about 30 years secretly.
    C．These mammals can carry out a task everywhere.
    D．A lot of countries will train dolphins and sea lions for anti-terrorism.
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．The Special Skills of Marine MammalsB．The U.S. Anti-terrorism Program
    C．Exceptional Anti-terrorism MemberD．Trained Marine Mammals

    FRANCE has destroyed the hopes of those who had planned to take refuge（避难）in one of the few places on Earth which some believe will be spared when the world ends on December 21 ．Local officials banned access to the Pic de Bugarach，a mountain in the southwest where rumor has it that the hilltop will open on the last day and aliens will appear with spaceships to save nearby humans.
    Eric Freysselinard，the state’s top representative in the area，said he was blocking access to the mountain for public safety reasons to avoid a rush of New Age fanatics(盲信者），sight-seers and media crews. Believers say the world will end on December 21，2012，the end date of the ancient Mayan calendar，and they see Bugarach as one of a few sacred mountains sheltered from the cataclysm(大灾难）．
    Mr Freysselinard said the 100 police and firefighters will also control approaches to the tiny village of the same name at the foot of the mountain，and if too many people turn up，they will block access there too.“We are expecting a few people who believe in this end of the world，but in extremely limited numbers，” he said in the. nearby city of Carcassonne.“We are expecting greater numbers of people who are just curious，but in numbers we cannot determine. Above all，we are expecting lots of journalists，”he said.
    Films，documentaries and websites have promoted the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar predicts that doomsday is on December 21．The culture ministry in Guatemala-where half the population are of Mayan descent-is hosting a massive event in the capital just in case the world actually does end，while tour groups are promoting doomsday-themed getaways.

    Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by the shark (鲨鱼).
    Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms. Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure. If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.
    Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
    She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.
    Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
    Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
    “I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
    It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
    At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
    In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal (潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic (模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
    She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
    小题1:The passage is most probably taken from _______.
    A．a short-story collection
    B．a popular science magazine

    D．Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.
    小题3:Lauren Smith conducted her research by _______.
    A．removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system
    B．measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
    C．recording sharks’ body temperature
    D．monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．A popular way of forecasting weather.
    B．A new research effort in predicting storms.
    C．Biologists’ interest in the secrets of sharks.
    D．Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific research.

    Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
    Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.
    The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
    The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
    The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
    Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
    Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars. The second cost 150 000.
    Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we can infer________.
    A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
    B．cows can be raised by robots in the future
    C．robots direct cows into milking stations
    D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
    小题2:Besides milking cows, the robotic system also can ________.
    A．adjust the temperature of milking stations
    B．judge the quality of fresh milk
    C．improve the appetite of cows
    D．keep fresh milk for two weeks
    小题3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
    A．Because young people have no interest in it.
    B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
    C．Because people can’t afford to buy it.
    D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
    小题4:According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee?
    A．150, 000-170, 000.B．750, 000.C．150, 000 -30, 000.D．30, 000- 32, 000
    小题5:The best title for the passage may be_______.
    A．Letting robot milk your cowB．Milking cows by hand
    C．Improving the quality of milkD．Drinking fresh milk every day

    Because of the change in the American public school system over the last several years, now many parents choose to home-school their children. There are many reasons behind this. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
    For some parents, they have religious (宗教的) reasons for home-schooling. The public school system does not have religious teachings, so these parents want to put religion into the children’s daily school activities. This might include teaching religion-based courses rather than coursework that is taught in public schools.
    For some parents, they do not feel that their local school system offers their children the best learning opportunities. So they want to take matters into their own hands. This may be because the local school has low educational standards (标准) or for some other reason the parents think it necessary to take their children out of the system. Sometimes the parents just feel the children will get a better education at home.
    Some parents may not be rich enough to send their children to a private school, so the next best thing in their eyes is home-schooling. Thus they can teach their children what they like.
    One should remember that the laws about home-schooling vary from state to state. In some states, the parents are required to hand in monthly attendance records (出席记录) to their local school system. What’s more, most states require state testing at certain periods such as the CRCT.
    小题1:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _______.   
    A．advise parents to home-school their children
    B．explain why some parents choose to home-school their children
    C．tell us the advantages and disadvantages of home-schooling
    D．praise home-schooling and private schools
    小题2:Paragraph 3 tells us that some parents choose home-schooling because ______.
    A．school teachers are not strict with their children
    B．their children don’t do well in their studies at school
    C．their children don’t like going to school
    D．they are not satisfied with the school education
    小题3:What does the underlined word “vary” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．IncreaseB．ChangeC．SpreadD．Keep
    小题4:How many reasons for home-schooling are mentioned in the passage?
    A．2B．4 C．3D．5
