Think about the different ways that people use wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
24.From the text we know that windmills .
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
25.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19gh century?
A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity.
C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.
26.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that .
A. wind power is cleaner
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
27.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The advantages of wind power.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.

Students and Technology in the Classroom
6
I love my Black berry—it’s my little connection to the large world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate 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 laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume（假设） that my 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 antitechnology. There’s no truth in that al all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can 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 conversations 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 dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations 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 sweet to give up.
28.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with .
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations
29. The underlined word“engage”in Para. 4 probably means .
A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject
30.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
31.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
D
Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe（方法） for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
32.The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. early B. painfully C. quickly D. smoothly
33.Some cats and dogs may fight when .
A. they are cold to each other
B. they look away from each other
C. they misunderstand each other’s signals
D. they are introduced at an early age
34.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They eat and sleep together.
B. They observe each other’s behaviors.
C. They learn to speak each other’s language.
D. They know something from each other’s voices.

35.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to live in harmony.
B. We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.
第二节 短文七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
American students often say their teachers give them too much homework. Now, reports by two research organizations show that in the United States this argument is generally not true.
36 It shows that the average student does less than one hour of schoolwork at home a night. The Rand Corporation in California did the other study. The research shows that only one in ten high school students spends more than two hours a night on homework.
The Brookings report noted(提出) an international math and science study from 1995.
37 However, students in France, Italy, Russia, and South Africa reported they spent at least two times as long on homework.
The Rand report examined American homework levels during the second half of the 20th century. Brian Gill helped write the report. 38 That happened during the early 1960s. Americans were not happy when the Soviet Union became the first country to reach space. There was great concern about improving education.
Not just children protest(抗议) about homework. 39 Others want their children to have time for sports, music lessons and other activities after school. 40 This can contribute to(有助于) the balanced and further development of children.
A. He suggests 10 minutes per grade level.
B. Some busy parents say their jobs leave them little time to help.
C. The United States was near last among 20 countries in homework.
D. He said there was only one time when homework sharply increased.
E. The Brookings Institution, in Washington, D.C., wrote one of the reports.
F. At the same time, some educators say schools need to give more meaningful homework.
G.. Only about 25% of high school students completed more than 2 hours of homework
daily.

Recently word came that our school is planning to open a new subject, known as Appreciation of British and American Literature. Different students have different opinions.
Students who are in favour of it make up 30% of all. They think they can know many world-famous great books in a short time. Meanwhile, they can benefit a lot from reading, such as improving the reading ability as well as writing ability.
But the other 70% of the students hold a different opinion. Now that they have so many subjects to learn, they won’t have time to read the books, which must be a burden. Besides, they can’t grasp the essence of the books.
For me, I strongly support the school to provide the opportunity to read the great books.
