7、)Justin was always prepared. His motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.“ His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents asked him to c
8、lean out his room.“What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?“ his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.“When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of i
9、t as a smaller version of his bedroom-a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant, but when used with a little imagination, might come in handy.Justin had earn
10、ed a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.“Do you think you have something in your ba
11、g that could help me remember my locker code?“ he asked. “I lost the paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and if Im late on the first day itll make me look bad for the rest of the year.“ Kenny looked genuinely worried.“Relax,“ Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened i
12、t. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the code down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.“He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint indentations(印凹痕) on another page in the notebook. Justin held t
13、he pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker code appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.“Thats amazing!“ Kenny said. “I owe you one.“ And he dashed off to open his locker.（分数：10.00）(1).Why is Justins room such a mess?
14、A. He always forgets to clean it.B. He never throws anything away.C. He has no time to clean it.D.

Nazemi, a busin
18、ess professor at Roanoke College in Virginia, took out a hammer and walked towards a young man. He smashed the offending device. Students faces turned white all over the classroom.This episode reflects a growing challenge for American college teachers in, as the New York Times puts it, a “New Class
19、(room) War: Teacher vs. Technology“. Fortunately, the smashed-phone incident had been planned ahead of time to demonstrate teachers anger at inattentive students distracted by high-tech devices.At age 55, Nazemi stands on the far shore of a new sort of generational divide between teacher and student
20、. The divide separates those who want to use technology to grow smarter from those who want to use it to get dumber. Perhaps theres a nicer way to put it. “The baby boomers seem to see technology as information and communication,“ said Michael Bugeja, the author of Interpersonal Divide: the Search f
21、or Community in a Technological Age. “Their children seem to see the same devices as entertainment and socializing.“Bugejas online survey of several hundred students found that a majority had used their cell phones, sent or read e-mail, and logged onto social-network sites during class time. A quart
22、er of the respondents admitted they were taking the survey while sitting in a different class.The Canadian company Smart Technologies makes and sells a program called SynchronEyes. It allows a classroom teacher to monitor every students computer activity and to freeze it at a click. Last year, the c
23、ompany sold more than 10,000 licenses. The biggest problem, said Nancy Knowlton, the companys chief executive officer, is staying ahead of students trying to crack the programs code. “Theres an active discussion on the Web, and were monitoring it.“ Knowlton said. “They keep us on our toes./（分数：10.00

25、2).According to the passage high-tech devices can make youngsters _.A. more intelligentB. more stupidC. study more easilyD. get more information（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).“The baby boomers“ in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _.A. the generation of people like Ali NazemiB. the generation of people like Ali
26、Nazemis studentsC. the very young babiesD. the people who were born in the 1980s（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The biggest problem for the Canadian company Smart Technologies is _.A. students may soon decode their program SynchronEyesB. whether they have the right to allow teachers to monitor studentsC. they
27、must sell the program without the students knowing of itD. they have to discuss whether the SynchronEyes is useful on the Web（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title of this passage is probably _.A. Different Opinions Between Teachers and StudentsB. Classroom Chaos over Gadget UseC. The Development of Cl
28、assroom WarsD. Keep Us on Our Toes（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Headphones used with MP3 digital music players like the iPod may interfere with heart pacemakers(起搏器) and implantable defibrillators(除颤器), U. S. researchers said.The MP3 players themselves posed no threat to pacemakers and
29、 defibrillators, used to normalize heart rhythm. But strong little magnets inside the headphones can confuse the devices if placed within 1. 2 inches of them, the researchers told an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans.Dr. William Maisel of the Medical Device Safety Institute in Boston
30、 led a team that tested eight models of MP3 player headphones in 60 defibrillator and pacemaker patients.They placed the headphones on the patients chests, directly over the devices. The headphones interfered with the heart devices in about a quarter of the patients-14 of the 60-and interference was
31、 twice as likely in those with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker.Another study presented at the meeting showed that cell phones equipped with wireless technology are unlikely to interfere with pacemakers.A pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to speed up or slow heart rhythm. The mag
32、net, however, could make it deliver a signal no matter what the heart rate is, the researchers said.An implantable defibrillator signals the heart to normalize its rhythm if it gets too fast or slow. A magnet could de-activate it, making it ignore an abnormal heart rhythm instead of delivering an el
33、ectrical shock to normalize it.The devices usually go back to working the right way after the headphones are removed, the researchers said.“The main message here is: its fine for patients to use their headphones normally, meaning they can listen to music and keep the headphones in their ears. But wh
34、at they should not do is put the headphones near their device,“ Maisel said in a telephone interview.So that means people with pacemakers or defibrillators should not place the headphones in a shirt pocket or coat pocket near the chest when they are not being used, and should not place them over the
35、ir chest or have others who are wearing headphones rest their head on the patients chest, Maisel said.（分数：10.00）(1).How can MP3 digital music players hinder pacemakers and defibrillators?A. MP3 players can interfere with heart, pacemakers and defibrillators.B. The magnets inside the headphones can i
36、nterfere with pacemakers and defibrillators.C. The loud music beats pose a threat to pacemakers and defibrillators.D. MP3 players are placed too close to pacemakers and defibrillators.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Dr. William Maisels tests showed thatA. headphones had interference with the heart devices in e
37、very patientB. half of the models of MP3 player headphones had interference with heart devicesC. headphones had much stronger interference with a defibrillator than with a pacemakerD. headphones had much stronger interference with a pacemaker than with a defibrillator（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The magnets
38、 inside the headphones can cause problems by _.A. sending out electrical shock to damage heartsB. sending out signals to make hearts beat too slowC. sending out signals to make hearts beat too fastD. making the heart devices malfunction（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).People with pacemakers or defibrillators sh
39、ould _.A. never use MP3 digital music playersB. not use MP3 headphonesC. not use the headphones near their heartsD. put the headphones in a pocket when they are not being used（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The writers purpose in writing this article is to _.A. report a scientific researchB. warn people not to
40、 use modern gadgetsC. compare different headphone productsD. inform people of the safe use of MP3 players（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)From the goose that laid the golden egg to the race between the tortoise and the hare, Aesops fables are known for teaching moral lessons rather than l
41、iterally being true. But a new study says at least one such tale might really have happened.Its the fable about a thirsty crow(乌鸦). The bird comes across a jar with the water level too low for him to reach. The crow raises the water level by dropping stones into the jar. The moral tells: Little by l
42、ittle does the trick, or in other retellings, necessity is the mother of invention.Now, scientists report that some relatives of crows called rooks used the same stone-dropping strategy to get at a floating worm. Results of experiments with three birds were published online by the journbal Current B
43、iology.Rooks, like crows, had already been shown to use tools in previous experiments. Christopher Bird of Cambridge University and a colleague exposed the rooks to a 6-inch-tall clear plastic tube containing water, with a worm on its surface. The birds used the stone-dropping trick naturally and ap
44、peared to estimate how many stones they would need. They learned quickly that larger stones work better.In an accompanying commentary, Alex Taylor and Russell Gray of the University of Auckland in New Zealand noted that in an earlier experiment, the same birds had dropped a single stone into a tube
45、to get food released at the bottom. So maybe they were just following that strategy again when they saw the tube in the new experiment, the scientists suggested. But Birds paper argued theres more to it: The rooks dropped multiple stones rather than just one before reaching for the worm, and they re
46、ached for it at the top of the tube rather than trying to reach the food at the bottom.The researchers also said Aesops crow might have actually been a rook, since both kinds of birds were called crows in the past.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main idea of this passage?A. Animals are smarter than we hav
47、e expected.B. Aesops fables tell real morals.C. Necessity is the mother of invention.D. Some of Aesops fables may be true.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Aesops fables have been popular for such a long time because they _.A. tell us the truth of natureB. tell us interesting stories of animalsC. are teachings o
48、f lifeD. are scientific literature（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the experiments, in order to eat the worm floating on the water surface, the rooks _.A. found a way to raise the water levelB. broke the tube with larger stonesC. counted how many stones they would needD. cooperated peacefully（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D
49、.(4).According to Alex Taylor and Russell Gray, it seems that rooks _.A. tend to follow the others strategyB. can remember their former strategyC. can change strategy in different situationsD. seldom use the same strategy in experiments（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the passage, crows and rooks _.A. are the same kind of birds with different namesB. are very different in behaviorC. had the same name in the pastD. were both used in the experiments（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.十、Part Vocabula
