What is intelligence （智力） anyway? When I was in the army I   21  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22  of 100, scored 160.                             
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not   23  have scored more than 80.   24 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always   25  it.
Well, then suppose my auto-repair man   26  questions for some intelligence test. By every one of them I'd prove myself a   27 . In a world where I have to work with my   28 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man   29 . He had a habit of telling   30 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb（聾�。� man   31   some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made   32  movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He   33  his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk   34  him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the   35 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).   36  do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his   37  and asked for them. I've been   38  that on all my customers today, but I knew   39  I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very   40  .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

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 thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication 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 year 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 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 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 educations 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 give up.
小題1:
some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A．the course materialB．others’ misuse of technology
C．discussion topicsD．the author’s class regulator
小題2:
the underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____
A．exploreB．acceptC．changeD．reject
小題3:
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
小題4:
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

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollyhood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollyhood—more than 800 films a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)
Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!
小題1:What is the main topic of the reading?
A．famous stars in BollywoodB．how Hollywood movies are made
C．the differences between two movie industriesD．the history of movie-making in India
小題2:What is NOT true about Mumbai?
A．It is the movie capital of India.
B．The new name is Bombay.
C．More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
D．It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.
小題3: Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
A．They have spicy stories.B．They show Indian culture.
C．They are much longer than Hollywood films.D．They mix different styles of movies.
小題4: Bollywood movies are cheap to make because ____________________ .
A．they are shorter than Hollywood films.
B．the scripts are written by hand.
C．the movies do not use any special effects.
D．each movie reuses things from other movies.
小題5:Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?
A．Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
B．It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
C．Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
D．Hollywood movies are too violent.

"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．”say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The lowering of the waters’pH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.
Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.
These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超過）anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小1j-%+.'_) impacts．”
However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changes．Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（小行星) may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.
In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing一because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”
小題1:The ocean is becoming more acidic due to＿．
A，the lower water pH value           B．the warming atmosphere
C ．the higher level of COZ in the air     D．the increasing use of oil fuels
小題2:According to Dr Caldeira,＿．
A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
小題3:If the water's acidity level keeps rising,＿．
A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B．the waters’pH value will become higher and higher
C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes
D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before
小題4:Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce＿．
A．the COZ absorbed by the ocean
B．the amount of greenhouse warming
C．the acidity of the ocean
D．the gradul release Of CO2
小題5:The purpose of this passage is to＿．
A．show people the findings of a research team
B．inform people of how acid the ocean is now
C．introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's research
D．warn people of the higher level of COZ

Standardized exam in American public education are being reformed. Over the next four years, hundreds of university professors and testing experts will work together to design new assessment system.
The new tests will be computer-based and will measure higher-order skills ignored by the multiple-choice exams used in all states，including students’ ability to read complex texts, synthesize(合成)information and do research projects．
Because the new tests will be computerized and will be administered several times throughout the school year, they can provide faster feedback(反饋)to teachers．If these plans work out, It’ll turn the current testing system upside down．
One group，led by Florida，will be made up of 25 states and the District of Columbia．The group was awarded $170 million．The other group, whose membership over-laps the first，has31 states and is led by Washington．The group was given $160 million．Twelve of the 44 states are
participating in both groups but are expected eventually to choose one set of tests．
The two groups are supposed to work in a friendly competition，though their plans are very similar．Both groups will produce tests that rely heavily on technology and both groups’ tests will include so-called performance-based tasks，designed to mirror complex，real-world situations．
In performance-based tasks，students are given a problem－they could be told, for example, to suppose they are a mayor who needs to reduce a city’s pollution—and must write about how they would solve the problem．
The new tests could be useful to teachers by giving them information on what their students are learning, but it might also require some mid-course adjustments.
Over the past decade, the federal No Child Left Behind law has emphasized helping low-achieving students improve their basic reading and math by encouraging states to produce tests that measure relatively low-1evel skills. Although the Bush-era law is still on the books, two
years of Obama administration policy have been leading schools in new directions．   
小題1:. . What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Obama’s education policy takes the lead.
B．A computer-based testing system is adopted.
C．American education system has been changed.
D．Experts are reinventing the student testing system.
小題2:.  Why are multiple-choice exams to be given up?
A．Because they are not computer-based.
B．Because they can’t test students’ higher-order skills.
C．Because they can’t provide proper feedback for teachers.
D．Because they can’t test students’ general reading ability.
小題3:.  The underlined part in Para. 4 probably means________.
A．the two groups have some shared members
B．the other group is more demanding than the first
C．the groups have different tasks of their own
D．the other group does better than the first group in the task
小題4:.  According to the passage, performance-based tasks may refer to tasks that______.
A．are related to real-world problems
B．have to be performed in an imaginary world
C．teach us theories through complex problems
D．can only be completed by relying heavily on technology
小題5:. . From the last paragraph, we can infer that_________.
A．the No child Left Behind policy is not helpful
B．the Obama administration’s policy is highly praised
C．the two policies both emphasize math and reading abilities
D．the two policies both emphasize the development of practical skills

Chinese tradition says a different animal represents each new year of the 12-year Chinese Zodiac(黃道十二宮) cycle. According to the Chinese calendar, the year you were born may determine your personality. Every year of this cycle is represented by an animal, and legend has it that people born under that animal have certain personality traits. Here are some of them:
Dragon
The Real Thing: The mythical dragon is a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture. One of the most popular figures in Chinese art, the dragon is believed to be a combination of nine animals, including a frog, a tiger, an eagle, and a fish.
Born a Dragon: You go out of your way to help your friends, who often seek you out for advice. Your outgoing personality helps you get along with many types of people.
Snake
The Real Thing: Snakes have great instincts. Some “play dead” to fool predators（捕食者）, and most sense prey by detecting ground vibration（震動）. They can take more than an hour to swallow a meal, and they become inactive for up to two weeks before they shed their skin.
Born a Snake: You rely on yourself before asking others their opinions. At times you want to take a break from the action. It’s not that you are lazy---sometimes you just like to think.
Pig
The Real Thing: Domesticated（馴養(yǎng)）pigs have been helping human for about 9,000 years. Incredibly intelligent, a pig shows its smarts by rolling in mud and sticking its snout in dirt. Why? The mud keeps it cool, and rooting in the dirt provides important vitamins.
Born a Pig: Smart and caring, you live to help other people. You have great taste and love to wallow in the nicer things in life.
Rat
The Real Thing: Most rats are highly adaptable. They can live just about anywhere and eat about anything. Before brown rats leave their underground burrows, these clever creatures send one rat ahead to make sure danger doesn’t exist outside.
Born a Rat: You welcome challenges and enjoy learning about new things. Funny and smart, you are generous and will protect your pack of friends. 
______
The Real Thing: The largest of the big cats, they hunt alone. They secretly move towards prey, then leap and attack when the time seems right. Dinner still escapes most of the time.
Born a _____: You are a natural leader but often like to do things by yourself. (That’s how you stay in charge!) You believe in fighting for what’s right, even if you’ll lose in the end.
小題1:  According to the description of the last animal, we can choose _____ to fill in the blanks. 
A．TigerB．Lion C．OxD．Monkey
小題2:   The underlined word “snout” probably means _____.
A．backB．noseC．headD．tail

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial(種族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.   　　
After World War II city residents became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.
　　Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人員) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
This population shift(轉變) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is for sure：many dying cities are alive again.
小題1:What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A．They are alive.B．They are hopeless.
C．They are similarD．They are different.
小題2:Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A．Because older American cities were dying.
B．Because they were richer and needed more space.
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
小題3:According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ___________. 
A．are faced with housing problems
B．are faced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
小題4:We can conclude from the text that ____________.
A．American cities are changing for the worse
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities
