Today, in many high schools, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers can e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin(公告，告示) boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.
Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids
talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace.
A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply, “It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my “value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there. We’d cared about him finishing school.
Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician. I encouraged him to get that training.
Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process—the human one.
24. The first paragraph mainly talks about __________.
A. the variety of modern teaching methods.
B. the wide use of modern technology in education
C. the importance of teacher-parent relationship.
D. the importance of using modern technology.
25. The underlined word “compassionate” in Para 5 means __________.
A. ambitious B. knowledgeable C. sympathetic D. generous
26. According to the text, the most important element in education is _________.
A. teachers’ good instruction B. advanced technology
C. teachers’ encouragement D. personal connection
27. The author states his view of education by _________.
A. example B. description C. figure D. comparison
C
Every day, people come into contact with thousands of chemicals. These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health. In fact, the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them. We put them on our bodies and even our faces. Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.
By the time you walk out of your front door, you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals. On its own, each chemical seems harmless. But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly. That is the finding of a two-year study by a high-profile（高调的）task force of scientists. The task force was told to
investigate the cancer-causing possibility of chemical mixtures.
Linda Gulliver was one of the 174 scientists on the task force. Their job was to study the cancer-causing potential of 85chemicals. All 85 are said to be common in the environment. Ms. Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential or ability to form dangerous mixtures. Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products.
Working in groups, the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer. Ms. Gulliver’s team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant（恶性的）human cells. She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time. This method leads, she adds, to a long list of supposedly “safe” chemicals. She and her team say that approach needs to change. “We definitely need certain research to find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals, when together, would produce more harmful effects. And at the moment, that is not known. ”
An estimated one in five cancers has been linked to chemical exposure. It may turn out that the cancer-causing villain（恶棍）is not a single chemical at all.
28. What effect may one single chemical have on us according to the text?
A. It may destroy our body. B. It may not cause danger to us.
C. It may let us suffer from cancer. D. It may let our body make a change.
29. What can we learn about Ms. Gulliver’s research?
A. She has found 85 cancer-causing chemicals.
B. She has found reasons for five kinds of cancers.
C. She has found that only one chemical can cause cancer.
D. She is not sure what mixtures of chemicals are more harmful.
30. According to the text, we can infer that the study __________.
A. is just wasting time and money B. is still in need of great efforts
C. will cause panic in public D. will be resisted by the public
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Mixtures of Safe Chemicals May Cause Cancer
B. Being Exposed to One Chemicals Is Dangerous
C. How Mixtures of Safe Chemicals Come into Being?
D. What Is the Real Cause For Cancer?
D
The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated（曝光）and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness（眩晕）, unless he or she is not bothered by heights.
Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.
The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge￡15billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.
Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.
The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London. Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.
32. Who can swim in the Sky Pool?
A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London.
C. People living in Embassy Gardens. D. Those who are not terrified of heights.
33.People lucky enough to swim in the Sky Pool can do the following except _________ .
A. drinking with friends B. experiencing diving and surfing
C. appreciating the London Eye D. sitting in the orange garden
34. What do we know from the text?
A. The pool lies in the centre of London.
B. The pool is 25 metres above the ground.
C. The pool was similar to New York’s modern constructions.
D. The pool is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens.
35. We can infer from the text that_________.
A. the apartments in Embassy Gardens are fairly expensive
B. the new American Embassy has been moved away
C. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy Gardens
D. building the pool is not a complex job

Looking Up
I can still remember the way my tennis shoes looked as I stared down at them, feeling anxious about what was about to take place. It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 41 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 42 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 43 the ball, and missed the easy serves.
Years later I realized how much those moments of 44 had affected me. I began to expect the 45 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough. I grew up staring at my 46 .
All that began to 47 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen, offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 48 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 49 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 50 .
Aunt Karen said that the secret 51 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 52 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 53 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 54 being so self-critical.
So that summer I took her 55 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 56 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 57 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 58 thinking actually works!
By the time school started that fall, I was much more 59 . I went along with people around me with a totally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 60 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled. And do you know what happened? A very nice girl immediately asked me to be in one group!

Dear Mike,
I happened to see a poster at the school gate for a lecture on the cultural differences between China and the United States. The lecture is to be given at 7 on Friday evening in our school hall by Professor Wang Wen from Beijing University，who is an expert in human society and culture. Why don’t you go and attend the lecture? I know you have taken a special interest in traditional Chinese culture, so I think this is a good opportunity for you to develop your understanding of what it is like.
I’m sure you will find the lecture worth listening to.
Yours, Li Hua
