In many high schools,there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class,for example,the teacher will be very angry.
Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now,there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)”. Using it,students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older,we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率). As a result,a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but its_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.
But sometimes,people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class,the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule:no mobile phone in class.”
Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones,a high school student of 17,says,“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure,but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers!”
What do parents think of mosquitotone?“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters,” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However,it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”
小題1:Mosquitotone works because ________.
A.it is very loudB.it has no sound
C.it has a beautiful soundD.it uses high frequencies
小題2:The under lined part “its_inaudible_to” means “________”.
A.it can’t be seen byB.it can’t be heard by
C.it isn’t popular withD.it isn’t healthy for
小題3:The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A.was late for classB.didn’t do his homework
C.couldn’t answer her questionD.was using a mobile phone in class
小題4:Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A.has no bad influenceB.is unfair to the teachers
C.has its advantage and disadvantageD.can’t be used in any public place

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C

小題1:本文第二段倒數(shù)第二句為As we get older,we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率).,所表示的含義為隨著歲數(shù)的變大,我們不能夠聽到高頻率的聲音,故本題選D。
小題2:本文第二段最后一句為As a result,a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but its_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.所表示的含義為兒童能聽到蚊子鈴聲,但是20歲以上就難以聽見,故本題選B。
小題3:本文第三段第二行有兩句為the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. 所表示的含義為學生在課堂上使用手機,老師感到不開心,故本題選D。
小題4:本文最后一句話的含義為蚊子鈴聲有它的好處和不好處,故本題選C。

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation (翻譯)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握)the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實質(zhì)) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
小題1:From the passage we know that __________when we are learning English.
A.we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B.we should look up every word in the dictionary

D.we must read word by word
小題2:The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.
A.difficult to understand different sounds

A.the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of words
B.the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C.sometimes a different order of words has a different meaning
D.if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
小題4:“She only likes apples.”____________.
A.is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B.is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C.means “She likes fruit except apples.”
D.means “She doesn’t like apples.”

The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力). For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot weather. At about 18 °C, people become stronger.
Lower air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 °C.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
小題1:What can influence people’s intelligence according to the first paragraph?
A.Feeling.B.Diet.C.HealthD.Weather.
小題2:Students get worse on exams because ___________.
A.they take exams in hot monthsB.they take exams in cold months
C.they take exams with bad feelingsD.they take exams in windy months
小題3:At a temperature of about 18 °C. people may_________.
A. leave more bags on buses                    B. like to go shopping

小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.A report in 1983 showed that weather can influence intelligence.

Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow(允許)for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on(依靠) Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn’t work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don’t think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.
小題1:In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that ______.
A.doing homework is the first thing you should do at home
B.a(chǎn)fter-school activities can’t affect doing homework
C.parents can help kids with their homework at night

A.students should ask the teacher more questions

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life.
