Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can ensure theirsafety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation inschools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students.
The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children's time. They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher.
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children's results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.
When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can't probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn't understand as many times as he considers proper.
And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to.
·13·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/

However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child's character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child.
All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it's best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.
24. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to___________
A.teach parents the ways to keep their children safe
B.show solutions to developing children's character
C.explain the main reason for violence acts in schools
D.analyze an education problem and give opinions
25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Classes
B.Who is to Blame, Parents or Schools?
C.Which is Better, School Study or Home Study?
D.The Relationship between Teachers and Children
26.What does "a crystal ball" in the passage refer to?
A.A toy that can be used for entertainment.
B. A safe and comfortable environment.
C. A round object that is made of crystal.
D. An obstacle that is hard to overcome.
27.We call infer from the passage that .
A.violence TV programs have bad effects on children's behavior
B.the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school
C.children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong
D.there are too many students in class for a teacher to teach
C
A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology finds that older and younger people have varying preferences about what they would want a personal robot to look like. And they change their minds based on what the robot is supposed to do.
Participants were shown a series of photos portraying either robotic, human or mixed human-robot faces and were asked to select the one that they would prefer for their robot’s appearance. Most college-aged adults in the study preferred a robotic appearance. However nearly 60 percent of older adults said they would want a robot with a human face, and only 6 percent of them chose one with a mixed
·13·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
human-robot appearance. But the preferences in both are groups were different when participants were told the robot was assisting with personal care, chores, social interaction or for helping to make decisions.
Preferences were less strong for helping with chores, although the majority of older and younger participants chose a robot with a robotic face. But for decision-making tasks, such as getting advice for where to invest money, younger participants tended to select a mixed human-robot appearance. A robotic face was their least favored choice for this task. Older adults generally preferred a human face.
Personal care tasks such as bathing provoked the most divisive preferences within both age groups. Those who chose a human face did so because they associated the robot with human-like care capabilities—such as nursing and trustworthy traits(特点). Many others didn’t want anything looking like a human to bathe them due to the private nature of the task.
In the final category, assistance with social tasks, both age groups preferred a human face.
Based on this early research, Prakash, a researcher who led the study says that if a robot is designed to help only with a specific task, its appearance should be decided by the features of the task. For instance, if the robot is designed to specifically assist the user with critical decisions, the robot should be given an intelligent look instead of a funny one. Prakash plans to expand the study to other age groups and more diverse educational backgrounds.
28. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. participants B. college-aged adults. C. older adults. D. robots.
29. While getting advice about the money from robots, the older may choose ________.
A. a robotic appearance B. a human face C. a mixed human-robot look. D. a funny appearance.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The younger didn’t like a robot with a human face to bathe them.
B. The older preferred to hire a nurse to bathe them instead of a robot.
C. The choice of the robots’ look is mainly related to the age.
D. There will be a further study on the choice of the robot’s look.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
B. The preferences while choosing a face of a robot.
C. How to select the appearance of a robot.
D. The development of the robot.

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as
·13·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite s. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
32. The author expected the train trip to be________ .
A. adventurous B. pleasant C. exciting D. dull
33. What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?
A. The friendly country people. B. The mountains along the way.
C. The crowds of people in the streets. D. The simple lunch served on the train.
34. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word "relish" in the second paragraph?
A. choose B. enjoy C. prepare for D. carry on
35. What can we learn from the story?
A. Comfort in traveling by train. B. Pleasure of living in the country.
C. Reading gives people delight. D. Smiles brighten people up.

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.

However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way.___37___ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.

Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!___39___
___40___ Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
A. Peers can have a good effect on one another.
B. Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers.
C. Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble.

Dear Jack,
Thanks for your e-mail. I’m glad to tell you something about China’s Spring Festival.
As you know, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, just like Christmas in the west. It falls on the last day of lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival. Before the festival comes, people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the new year. On New Year’s Eve, people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while eating delicious food. During the festival,
·13·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/

people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their s and friends. As a teenager, I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get lucky money from my parents and s and enjoy myself with my friends as well.
How do you like the Spring Festival? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
