In 1 of eac
16、h of them is a computer running software called Reading Eggs. Some are reading a short story, others 2 sentences with words they are learning. As they complete each task they move through a cartoon map that shows how far they have 3 in reading and writing. Along the way they collect eggs which they
17、can use to buy objects in the game, such as items to 4 their avatar“s apartment. Now and then a child will be taken 5 for scheduled reading periods with one of the two monitoring teachers. The director says this sort of teaching, blending software with human 6 , helps her pupils learn faster. It als
18、o allows teachers at this school to spend more time teaching and less time 7 written work and leading pupils through dull drills of words and numbers. The idea that technology can revolutionize (彻底改变；使革命化) education is not new. In the 20th century almost every new 8 was supposed to have big implicat
19、ions for schools. In many classrooms, computers have been used to improve 9 and keep pupils engaged. But they did not transform learning in the way their boosters predicted. It is wise, therefore, to be skeptical about the claims made for the current wave of innovation. Yet there are also 10 to beli

21、he YearsA. Have you picked out your swimsuit for summer yet? Some kids spend hours shopping for the right look. Others go with whatever Morn or Dad chooses for them. Whatever you wear to the pool or the beach this summer, enjoy the sun and water. And be glad you weren“t around 100 or 200 years ago,
22、when swimsuits were made of itchy wool and looked like Hogwarts robes. (Or maybe you“d like to wear a Hogwarts robe to the beach!) Turn the page to take a peek at the history of the bathing suit. B. In ancient Greece and Rome, men swam for exercise and to train as warriors. They also went to the pub
23、lic baths. Usually, they wore nothing at all. But sometimes they would put on loose-fitting gowns called togas. Women had their own public baths. Some early Roman art shows girls playing sports in what we would call bikinis. But there is no hint that these outfits were used for swimming, which was n
24、ot something women and girls did back then. C. Over time, bathing and swimming became less popular. Before the 1500s, in fact, people in Europe thought that public bathing helped spread the diseases that killed millions and wiped out entire towns during the Middle Ages. It wasn“t until the 17th cent
25、ury that swimming and public bathing spas became popular again. In addition to men, women were able to enjoy these activities, though they had to do so in nightgown like dresses. D. A British fashion report from 1687 described ladies“ “bathing costumes“. The dresses were made of stiff canvas and had
26、 big sleeves. The sleeves filled with water and kept the gowns from clinging and revealing too much. Men wore canvas pants called drawers and vests called waistcoats. A big cover-up E. Back then, showing off one“s body was considered improper. So people covered themselves as much as possible. Men“s
27、one-piece wool swimsuits, the style that replaced drawers and waistcoats, looked like long underwear, with full-length sleeves and legs. Women“s bathing dresses often had high collars and went all the way down to their toes. They also wore bathing caps and long black stockings. F. Women were expecte
28、d to be modest in other ways as well. Some, like Martha Washington, had lead weights sewn into the hems of their bathing gowns so the clothing would not float up. Others took to the water inside covered wooden frames called “bathing machines“. G. This term also was used for small wooden cabins at At
29、lantic Ocean beaches in the early to mid-1800s. The cabins were set on tall wheels. While the bather was inside changing, a horse pulled the machine into the ocean. When the water was high enough, the horse was taken ashore. The bather could then step down from the cabin and into the sea. Few people
30、 ashore saw anything but a head bobbing in the surf. H. Many beaches had separate swim times for men and women. Colored flags were posted to let them know when it was their turn to be in the water. When bloomers bloomed I. Until 1850, men and boys in England often swam naked in lakes, rivers and sea
31、s. When the practice was banned, swimming in one“s underwear became popular. Striped shirts and shorts were the rage for men in the 1870s. Flannel replaced wool and linen as the most popular material for bathing suits. It was thought to be warmer when swimming in the cold sea. J. Women, meanwhile, w
32、ere shifting to bloomersa long skirt worn over loose pants. The skirt“s hem was about three inches above the ankle, which was pretty shocking back then. Gloves, a belt, a cap and rubber shoes completed the outfit. K. As swimming grew more popular among European women, they traded in their skirts for
33、 a less bulky trousers-and-blouse swim garment. American women found that look too manly and kept their skirts for decades more. They also wore toe-length cloaks over their wet suits when crossing the beach. Today: sleeker, baggier L. When they began sharing the beach with men at the turn of the 20t
34、h century, American women wanted more stylish swim attire. And with swimming now an acceptable activity, they wanted their suits to be more functional. So sleeves were shortened, then done away with. Necklines were lowered. Colored braid, ribbons and bows were added. A one-piece “princess“ suit, wit
35、h a separate skirt, was a big hit, as were matching mother-daughter suits. M. Men“s suits were changing, too, but not always for the better. The first modern swim trunks actually made swimming more difficult because they weighed nine pounds when wet and could slip off! Form-fitting suits came along
36、in the 1930s. Swimsuits got smaller. Men removed their tops in 1937. Bikinis followed nine years later. With the arrival of new fabrics such as spandex and lycra, women“s and girls“ suits got sleeker. Men“s and boys“ trunks, meanwhile, got baggier. Suits made for speed N. Timing is everything in com
37、petitive swimming. One one-hundredth of a second can decide who wins a medal at a meet. So swimmers are always looking for ways to cut a sliver off their racing times. O. In the 1990s, swimsuit makers had a bold new idea: high-tech bodysuits. U. S. space engineers even helped with the design and tes
38、ting of some of these suits. They were made of lighter materials such as plastic and rubber, which soaked up less water than woven materials. Some bodysuits had no stitching, which also reduced the water“s “drag“. And their skintight fit kept muscles from tiring as quickly. P. As a result, swimmers
39、went faster. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, more than 90 percent of all swim medals were won by athletes wearing Speedo“s new LZR Racer bodysuit. Baltimore“s Michael Phelps, who won eight gold medals at those Games, said his LZR suit made him “feel like a rocket“ in the pool. Q. Not everyone was happy
40、 with the performance-enhancing suits. Many people felt they favored scientific advances over a swimmer“s natural abilities. In 2010, the sport“s top officials banned full-length suits from major swim events. They put limits on the thickness and type of materials used in suits, as well as their leng
41、th. But that hasn“t stopped researchers. They are now working on new types of goggles and swim caps.（分数：71.00）(1).The advanced high technology designs a swimsuit that can relieve muscle fatigue.（分数：7.10）(2).The lighter materials of swimsuit helped athletes won much gold medals.（分数：7.10）(3).Men and w

45、One(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Trawling (用拖网捕鱼) the seabed for fish is an environmental disaster; it wrecks ecosystems, destroys fish stocks and leaves behind a marine desert. Right? Environment campaigners say so. But there is growing evidence that the effect is sometimes very different, with trawling increasi
46、ng fish stocks from the North Sea to the California coast. A new modeling study may for the first time have demonstrated why. Trawlers attach large nets to a metal beam dragged across the seabed to catch bottom-dwelling fish. Greenpeace compares it to “driving a huge bulldozer through a forest“, lea
47、ving a flat, featureless desert on the seabed. Trawling clearly does remove fish, such as large crustaceans and shellfish, says Daniel van Denderen of the Wageningen Institute for Marine Resources and Ecosystem Studies in the Netherlands. But this is a lucky break for softer, smaller species lurking
48、 in the sandy seabed, such as worms. They survive and, with fewer rivals, flourish. And if, as is often the case, these smaller critters are the main food for fish, then the overall effect is to nurture more marine life. Imants Priede, director of Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen, UK, says the
49、re is growing evidence thatwhile far from universalthe phenomenon is real. “On continental shelves such as the southern North Sea, where shifting sands and gravels are stirred up by strong tidal currents, even trawling more than once a year may be beneficial for some fish stocks,“ he says. In fact, studies going back 20 years have linked persistent trawling with increased fish stocks. The cause of this counter-intuitive finding has remained uncertain. Some have suggested that trawling stirs up
