出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention
drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, Ialways 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try
out
for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t
have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on
the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41
for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first
started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much
44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction
—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game,
so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and
not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a
team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning
over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the
51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never
had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.
I have gone from “53” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call
attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not
100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though
37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose
38. A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started
39. A. idea B. plan C. belief D. saying
40. A. right B. chance C. ability D. patience
41. A. going B. looking C. cheering D. applying
42. A. point B. half C. rest D. basis
43. A. enjoying B. preparing C. attending D. watching44. A. less B. later C. worse D. further
45. A. committed B. motivated C. embarrassed D. confused
46. A. Interestingly B. Fortunately C. Obviously D. Hopefully
47. A. focus B. act C. rely D. try
48. A. want B. do C. support D. know
49. A. steps B. orders C. rules D. games
50. A. role B. part C. mind D. value
51. A. process B. operation C. movement D. situation
52. A. expressed B. improved C. preserved D. recognized
53. A. dreaming B. playing C. relaxing D. hiding
54. A. by B. for C. with D. to
55. A. lucky B. happy C. sure D. satisfied．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back
then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in
2011, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.
But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband
that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that
they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime
that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at
age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I
heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that
I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided torealize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were
against it.
On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close
to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me
through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t
frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached
13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the
air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What
have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for
about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated
downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view
below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I
was just enjoying it.[来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K]
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other
people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84
years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something
that is possible, make it happen.
56. What happened to the author in 2001?[来源:高考资源网KS5U.COM]
A. She flew an airplane.
B. She entered a competition.
C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.
D. She moved into a retirement community.
57. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .
A. build up her own reputation B. show her admiration for him
C. compare their health condition D. make her argument persuasive
58. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?
A. Excited B. Scared C. Nervous D. Regretful
59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?
A. The beautiful clouds B. The wonderful view
C. The company of Jay D. The one-minute free fallB

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go
anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and
thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to
move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher
education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical
themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and
exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop,
iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of
them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant
experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to
that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I
love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think
there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage
complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow fortoo much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep
within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think
differently and make connections between the course the material and the class
discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the
evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students
realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them
keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my
history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my
plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
63. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____.
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations
64. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ____
A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject
65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____.
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____.
A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class
D
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past
centuries, a new electrical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）system forthe 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of
the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on
the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is
true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity
around.
The 19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to
build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned
land. In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others
remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique
challenges to land management. With the completion or the interstate highway
system, many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed
well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their
direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them, we need
alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move
electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic sport will be sacrificed. Some
species（物种）will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special
accommodations. Deals will be stuck to reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century
development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to
throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good. But is\t is just as likely that
they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the
railroad and the highway.
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institution that control will
shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission
lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct
these new power plants in the West.
67. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard to manage.
D. Land grants went into private hands.
68. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to
the last two paragraphs?
A. The transmission of power. B. The use of money and power.
C. The conservation of solar energy. D. The selection of an ideal place.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A. Cautious B. Approving C. Doubtful D. Disapproving
70. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How the Railways Have Affected the West
B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Public speaking and critical thinking
What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of
being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your
own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and
assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to
see clearly their relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists and
inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it
together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking.
72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of
time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械
的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of yourspeech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and
confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your
thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas you already
have. 73
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As
you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your
ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to
speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of
situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your
skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has
been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized
ideas.
E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the
answer is quite a lot.
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective
thinker in a number of ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see
how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.

Well, we are now looking at ways of making shopping less tiring. You know, a
day at the shops wears people out. And we considered a number of ideas. Carrying
shopping around is very tiring, and we looked at ways to avoid that. We thought of
hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers, but we came up against problems
of space. There just isn’t enough room. We also thought about those moving walk
ways, like the ones you see at the airports. We decided it against then though, because
they require a major redesign of the whole center. What we have actually come up
with is a new technology where you buy what you want and then just leave it on the
shelf. That way, you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day.
When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything
you’ve bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.

M: OK. What does she look like?
W: She has dark brown hair. She’s thin and small for her age.
M: OK. What is she wearing today?

21. Experiments of this kind in both the U.S. and Europe well before the Second
World War.
A. have conducted B. have been conducted
C. had conducted D. had been conducted
【考点】F5：过去完成时的被动语态．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：在第二次世界大战之前这种实验已经在美国和欧洲都进行的
很好了．
【解答】答案：D．通过时间状语"before the Second World War"可判断是过去的
过去，所以用过去完成时态；另外，Experiments与conduct之间是被动关系，
所以本题要用过去完成时的被动语态．
【点评】考查这类考点时，要注意句中的时间状语，以确定用什么时态，然后
判断相关名词和动词之间的关系，是主动关系用主动语态，如果是被动关系，
而且动词是及物动词，则用被动语态．22. Barbara Jones offers to her fans is honesty and happiness.
A. Which B. What C. That D. Whom
【考点】58：连接代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】Barbara所能提供给她的粉丝的是诚实和快乐．
【解答】答案：B．主要考查连接代词，主语从句等考点的理解．Barbara Jones
offers to her fans 是主语从句，在句中作主语，offer sb sth 给某人某物=offer sth
to sb，从句中缺少宾语，所以用连接代词 what．在主语从句中that只能做连词，
不充当任何成分，代词 what 在句中作 offer 的宾语，指代后面的 honesty and
happiness．
【点评】在选择名词性从句的连接词时，要注意分析从句的句子成分，如果不
缺任何成分，也没有任何疑问，则用 that，如果缺少某个成分，根据需要选择
恰当的连接词．
23.Tom in the library every night over the last three months.
A. works B. worked
C. have been working D. had been working
【考点】EA：现在完成进行时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：在过去的三个月里，Tom每晚都在图书馆里工作．
【解答】答案C．句中时间状语over the last three months 通常与现在完成时连
用，所以排除A、B和D选项．此处强调"Tom每晚在图书馆工作"这个动作从
过去的三个月就开始一直持续到现在，还有可能会持续下去，因此用现在完成
进行时，故选C．
【点评】.本题考查时态的用法．解答此类题目的关键是要读懂句意，分析上下
文的语境，判断时态，锁定答案．
24.—I don’t really like James. Why did you invite him?
—Don’t worry. He come. He said he wasn’t certain what his plans were.[A. must not B. need not C. would not D. might not
【考点】A6：情态动词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣﹣我真的不喜欢Jams，你为什么邀请他？
﹣﹣别担心，他可能不来，他说他不确定自己的计划是什么．
【解答】答案 D． mustn't"禁止，不允许"；needn't"没必要，不需要"；
wouldn't"不愿意"；might not"可能不"，根据句意，他还不确定自己的计划，说
明"不确定性"，他可能不来，故选D．
【点评】本题考查情态动词的用法，结合具体的语境，选择正确选项．
25. It’s important for the figures regularly.
A. to be updated B. to have been updated
C. to update D. to have updated
【考点】B8：不定式的被动式．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：经常更新数据是很重要的．
【解答】答案：A．分析句子结构可知，动词 update（更新）的逻辑主语是the
figures（数据），它们之间构成动宾关系，the figures应该是被update，所以应
该用被动式，排除C、D；再根据句子中的副词regularly可知，此处应该用动词
不定式的一般式的被动式，即to be updated，故A正确．
【点评】本题考查的是不定式的被动式．做题时，先找不定式的逻辑主语，看
它们之间是主动还是被动关系，确定语态；然后再看不定式所表示的动作跟主
句的谓语动词之间的先后关系，确定时态．
26. Mary was much kinder to Jack than she was to the others, , of course, made all
the others upset.
A. who B. which C. what D. that
【考点】59：关系代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】玛丽对杰克比对其他人好得多，这一点使得其他人很沮丧．
【解答】答案B．选项A．who如果先行词是人时可以用，这里不是修饰句子中的人的，所以不可用；选项B的which是关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，
指Mary was much kinder to Jack than she was to the others 整件事，代替先行句，
要求用逗号隔开．选项C what不能引导定语从句；选项D that可以引导定语从
句，有逗号是不可以用的，所以应该选择B．
【点评】做这类题目，要首先分析句子的成分，然后结合句意及选项的用法、
意义做出选择．
27. —That must have been a long trip.
—Yeah, it us a whole week to get there.
A. takes B. has taken C. took D. was taking
【考点】E2：一般过去时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣﹣那一定是很长的旅程．﹣﹣是的，我们花了一周时间才到．
【解答】答案 C． must have done"表示对过去情况的判断"，所以 it ___us a
whole week to get there．是在陈述过去的一个事实，要用过去时．故选C．
【点评】本题是中档题，考查一般过去时，"that must have been a long trip"是本
题的突破点，说明是过去发生的事情，因此时态的题目要结合上下文的语境．
28. —Where are the children? The dinner’s going to be completely ruined.
—I wish they always late.
A. weren’t B. hadn’t been C. wouldn’t be D. wouldn’t have been
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣﹣孩子们在哪？这顿饭就要被毁掉了．
﹣﹣我希望他们不要总是迟到．
【解答】答案A．wish后面接的宾语从句用虚拟语气．如果与现在事实相反，
用一般过去时，be要变成were；如果与过去事实相反，用过去完成时，如果与
将来事实相反用would/could/might+V原形．根据句意，我希望他们不要总是迟
到，是与现在的事实相反，故选A．
【点评】本题考查wish的虚拟语气，需要掌握wish与现在，过去，将来虚拟时的具体用法．
29. volleyball is her main focus, she’s also great at basketball.
A. Since B. Once C. Unless D. While
【考点】92：从属连词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】尽管排球是她的主要兴趣所在，但她还擅长篮球．
【解答】答案D．选项A Since"自从"；选项B once"一旦"选项C unless"除非"；
选项 D while"虽然，尽管"．根据句意，可知应该选择D．
【点评】做这类题目，应该结合句意以及选项的意义、用法做出选择．
30. Maybe if I science, and not literature then, I would be able to give you more
help.
A. studied B. would study C. had studied D. was studying
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：如果那时我学的是科学而不是文学的话，那么我就可以给你提
供更多的帮助．
【解答】答案C．本题考查的是错综虚拟语气，从句与过去的事实相反，所以
用had done，主句与现在的事实相反，用would+动词原形．故选C．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气，要结合具体的语境选择出正确选项．
31. The shocking news made me realize terrible problems we would face.
A. what B. how C. that D. why
【考点】58：连接代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：这条令人震惊的消息让我意识到我们将面临多么可怕的问题．
【解答】答案：A．本题考查感叹句作宾语从句．感叹句中 what 所修饰的中心
词是名词或名词短语，how 所修饰的中心词是形容词或副词．此题中空格处后
面部分的中心词是名词 problems，所以用 what．
【点评】分析句子结构可知，动词 realize 后的宾语从句中，结构为"感叹词what+adj．+n．+陈述句的语序，如果用how，句子需要作改动：…how terrible
the problems were．
32. —Bob has gone to California.
—Oh, can you tell me when he ?
A. has left B. left C. is leaving D. would leave
【考点】E2：一般过去时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣鲍勃已经去了加利福利亚﹣﹣哦，你能告诉我他什么时候走
的？
【解答】答案B．根据句意，他已经去了加利福利亚，说明"走"这个动作已经
是过去了．结合语境可知tell后面的宾语从句强调的是过去的某个动作，所以
用一般过去时态．故选B．
【点评】本题考查的是一般过去时，要根据对话内容了解具体的语境选择出正
确答案．
33. Sit down, Emma. You will only make yourself more tired, on you feet.
A. to keep B. keeping C. having kept D. to have kept
【考点】B3：现在分词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：Emma，你坐下，老这么站着你会累的．
【解答】答案B．分析句子结构可知，"You will only make yourself more tired"是
主句，逗号之后应该是非谓语动词形式．主句中的主语"you"与"keep on your
feet"是主动关系，因此应该用现在分词，排除 A和D项．C项是现在分词的完
成式，表示"一直站着"这个动作发生在"使自己累"动作之前，在本题中用现在
分词一般式做伴随状语，表示动作与主句动作同时发生，因此 B项符合，故选
B．
【点评】本题考查非谓动词用法．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析句子结构，
判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主
动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．

菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：多亏了政府不断努力去提高就业率，就业率在大城市持续增长．
【解答】答案C．them指代上文出现的复数名词；those指代可数名词复数形式；
it指代上文出现的同一事物；that指代不同数名词或者可数名词单数，后面必须
有定语修饰．根据句意：本题的it指代上文的the employment rate．故选C．

出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention
drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I
always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try
out
for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t
have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on
the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41
for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first
started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much
44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction
—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game,
so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and
not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a
team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning
over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the
51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never
had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.
I have gone from “53” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call
attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not
100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back
then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in
2011, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.
But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband
that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that
they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime
that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at
age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I
heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced thatI was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided to
realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were
against it.
On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close
to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me
through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t
frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached
13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the
air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What
have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for
about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated
downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view
below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I
was just enjoying it.[来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K]
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other
people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84
years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something
that is possible, make it happen.
56. What happened to the author in 2001?[来源:高考资源网KS5U.COM]
A. She flew an airplane.
B. She entered a competition.
C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.
D. She moved into a retirement community.

C. compare their health condition D. make her argument persuasive
58. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?
A. The beautiful clouds B. The wonderful viewC. The company of Jay D. The one-minute free fall

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go
anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and
thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to
move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher
education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical
themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and
exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop,
iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of
them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant
experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to
that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I
love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think
there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage
complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for
too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep
within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think
differently and make connections between the course the material and the class
discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the
evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students
realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them
keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my
history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my
plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
64. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____.
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations
64. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ____
A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject
65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____.A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____.
A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

D
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past
centuries, a new electrical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）system for
the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of
the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on
the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is
true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity
around.
The 19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to
build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned
land. In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others
remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique
challenges to land management. With the completion or the interstate highway
system, many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed
well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their
direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them, we need
alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move
electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic sport will be sacrificed. Some
species（物种）will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special
accommodations. Deals will be stuck to reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st centurydevelopment of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to
throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good. But is\t is just as likely that
they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the
railroad and the highway.
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institution that control will
shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission
lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct
these new power plants in the West.
68. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard to manage.
D. Land grants went into private hands.
68. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to
the last two paragraphs?
A. The transmission of power. B. The use of money and power.
C. The conservation of solar energy. D. The selection of an ideal place.
69. What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A. Cautious B. Approving C. Doubtful D. Disapproving
70. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How the Railways Have Affected the West
B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Public speaking and critical thinking
What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of
being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your
own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and
assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to
see clearly their relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists and
inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it
together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking.
72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of
time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械
的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your
speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and
confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your
thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas you already
have. 73
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As
you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your
ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to
speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of
situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your
skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has
been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized
ideas.
E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the
answer is quite a lot.
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective
thinker in a number of ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see
how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.【考点】O5：科教类阅读．
