第三部分 阅读理解
A
Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businessesprovide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.
56. Who thinks that students won’t have to go to school?
A. Everyone.B. The writer.C. Some people.D. The teachers.
57. What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?
A. A school with many new computers.
B. A school with many new students.
C. A school with many new teachers.
D. A school connected to the Internet.
58. Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?
A. Because whole city is connected to the Internet.
B. Because everyone can go on the Internet.
C. Because getting online is very easy.
D. Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet.
59. What fact does the passage Not provide?
A. Technology will change our way of learning.
B. If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology.
C. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers
D. On the Internet, you can visit another city’s libraries as easily as the people there.
B
One day, Soapy Smith and I visited a shelter for badly-treated women located in a deserted section of the city. No one smiled a greeting, and they appeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp in the background. The staff informed me that she had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent memory. I didn't want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.
Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket. As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would come to talk to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didn't reach out to him or encourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.
Finally Soapy came to a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a common behavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit.
The child did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.
I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking. Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped.
The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the eye. I held Soapy out to her. She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended from my hands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the child's shoulder. His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.
The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child — something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapy's innocence and trust appeared to arouse those very same qualities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all.
60. The little girl didn't speak any word because ___________.
A. she liked staying silent and still
B. she had no friends to talk with
C. she had too much hard experience
D. the people in the shelter all kept silent
61. What is the correct order of the following events?
a. The little girl gave a faint smile.
b. Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.
c. The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms.
d. Soapy's breathing slowed and he closed his eyes.
e. The little girl began to whisper to Soapy.
A. c; b; e; d; a B. b; c; d; e; a C. b; c; e; d; a D. c; b; d; e; a
62. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to tell us ___________.
A. a moving story about a lonely girl who hasn't talked for years
B. to pay more attention to those children who have been deserted by their parents
C. a lot of kind people around us are offering help to those in need
D. the heart-to-heart communication between animal and human is powerful
63.The best title for this passage may be ___________.
A. Soapy Smith and A Little Girl B. A Great Surprise

MOOCs are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.
The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, comprising 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-principal. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.”
Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.”
Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "There's no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.
64. MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that ___________.
A. MOOCs are free of charge for anyone
B. MOOCs can be adjusted according to people’s learning pace
C. MOOCs provide teachers’ instructions if you have some difficulty
D. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience
65. The response to FutureLearn has been thought to be unbelievable mainly because ___________.
A. all the courses on the platform are available to anyone in the world
B. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join it
C. the number of people registering in the platform is beyond expectation
D. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments
66. What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?
A. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.
B. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.
C. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.
D. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to the problems of credits.
67. The passage mainly deals with ___________.
A. the various opinions on FutureLearn
B. the advantages of online teaching methods
C. the popularity of no-credit courses
D. the appearance of a new learning platform
D
Now came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the family’s only surviving relative lived. It was Sally’s relative — a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors .
As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relative’s home and subscribed for the local paper.
For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower-pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.
“Thirty thousand dollars!”
All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.
There was no romance-reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour — note-making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, it’ll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand we’ll have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap-robe for winter.”
Aleck responded with decision and calmness.
“You can spend a part of it. But the whole of the capital must be put right to work.
“Why, yes. Yes, of course. Have you got it invested yet?”
“No, there’s no hurry about that; I must look around first, and think, er…, I’ve turned it over twice; once in oil and once in wheat.”
“Why, Aleck, it’s splendid! What does it amount to?”
“I think — well, to be on the safe side, about a hundred and eighty thousand clear, though it will probably be more.”
“My! Isn’t it wonderful? Good heaven! Luck has come our way at last, Aleck!”
Then they went up to bed, but they left the candle burning in the sitting room. They did not remember until they were undressed; then Sally was for letting it burn; he said they could afford it, if it was a thousand. But Aleck went down and put it out.
A good job, too; for on her way back she hit on a scheme that would turn the hundred and eighty thousand into half a million before it had had time to get cold.
68. Why would Tilbury like to give all his money to Sally?
A. Because Sally was Tilbury’s only relative alive.
B. Because Tilbury loved Sally and his family deeply.
C. Because Tilbury wanted his money to continue its function.
D. Because Sally and his wife are good at investing.
69. The underlined word “bequest” in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________.
A. a gift of personal property B. a proof of a person’s identity
C. a method of getting money D. a reason for giving money
70. What do we know about Sally and his wife after receiving the letter?
A. They were in deep sorrow and stayed up all night.
B. They cared little about the bequest and lived their life as usual.
C. They paid a visit to Tilbury to confirm the truth of the letter.
D. They had a big ambition to invest the money and make huge profits.
71. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Thrilling News B. Sally’s Distant Relative
C. The $30,000 Bequest D. A Smart Investment

When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other’s broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s, researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts to pick up signals from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal.
However, 1940s’ technology was just at the beginning. The “mobile phones” were huge boxes. They had to be moved by car.
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention was complete, he tested it by calling a rival scientist to announce his success. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public.
They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service or text message. It’s the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax . Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important.
Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.
Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: ‘‘‘That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.’
72.The article is intended to_______.
A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones
B. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones
C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones
D. predict the applications of mobile phones
73.What’s the CORRECT time order about the development of communication?
a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell
b. “mobile phones” with very large boxes
c. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper
d. mobiles with cameras, GPS and Internet access
A. a, c, b, d B. b, a,, c, d C. a, c, d, b D. a, b, c, d
74.The last sentence of the whole passage ‘‘That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.” May probably means________.
A. That’s great! But I’m very busy right now. Will call you tonight
B. It’s eight now. I’m very busy. Will call you tonight
C. That’s great! But I’m busy writing now. Will call you at two tonight
D. “8” is great! But I’m very busy right now. Will call it “U” tonight
75.What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph?
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Kind. D. Worried.

As we all know, the “ transport during the Spring Festival period” has been a hot phrase all through the China land.
The volume of passenger traffic reaches its climax before and after the Spring Festival. Especially, the number of those who decide to go back to their hometown by train is increasing rapidly, so it promotes the short of the tickets of passenger train. Luckily, the Ministry of Railways has come up with solutions. For instance, it arranges extra trains during the peak time for passenger transport as well as opens 24-hour ticket sales windows for passengers in order to ease the traffic pressure. Moreover, it helps to deliver train tickets to the doorsteps, providing convenience for passengers.
One thing that has to be mentioned this year is about start of selling tickets on-line this year. For one thing, it to some degree shortens the time of purchasing tickets. However, most of the passengers are migrant workers returning home for Spring Festival. They are not familiar with the process of buying tickets and as a result cannot buy the tickets on time. What is worse, many computers selling tickets broke down under too much pressure of operation. Therefore, many people blame such a method in that it doesn’t suit nowadays’ situation.

Although it is as crowded as usual during the “transport during the Spring Festival period”, many solutions have been raised. But this year, with another problem of buying tickets on-line appearing, many are dissatisfied.
Last year, I, together with my parents, went to our hometown by train. At that time, you can imagine how crowded it was in the railway station and how difficult it was for us to buy a ticket. Worse still, it was raining and we had to wait in queue patiently for our turn to buy tickets. This year, things are much better. We can buy tickets through Internet. However, some other problems appear.
Reasons for the problems of buying tickets on-line are divided. For migrant workers, lacking the knowledge of handling computers has trapped them into trouble. Also, the ticket-selling system is not advanced enough to cope with difficult situations.
To solve the problem, I suggest that not only should the Ministry of Railways update or better the ticket-selling system regularly but also provide more convenient and easy ways for migrant workers to buy tickets. As for migrant workers, they can learn to purchase their tickets on-line with the help of Internet or co-workers. Choosing other means of transportation to return back is also available.

Last year, I, together with my parents, went to our hometown by train. At that time, you can imagine how crowded it was in the railway station and how difficult it was for us to buy a ticket. Worse still, it was raining and we had to wait in queue patiently for our turn to buy tickets. This year, things are much better. We can buy tickets through Internet. However, some other problems appear.
Reasons for the problems of buying tickets on-line are divided. For migrant workers, lacking the knowledge of handling computers has trapped them into trouble. Also, the ticket-selling system is not advanced enough to cope with difficult situations.
To solve the problem, I suggest that not only should the Ministry of Railways update or better the ticket-selling system regularly but also provide more convenient and easy ways for migrant workers to buy tickets. As for migrant workers, they can learn to purchase their tickets on-line with the help of Internet or co-workers. Choosing other means of transportation to return back is also available.
