13、vote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khans voice is heard every day on the net - by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube

14、-lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his “Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a youn

15、g cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khans help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in their head. Youre looking at it and it feels like someones over your shoulder talking i

16、n your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person - he immediately connected to the students there.The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted h

17、igh school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are good, but they cant teach at a speed thats perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actual

18、ly getting a deeper understanding of it.”Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short is better. “Education researchersnow tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain swit

19、ches off,” he said.For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says hes ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.26.

26、 markets. This is because the Internet will keep customers everywhere informed on what is available anywhere in the world, and at what price. This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers. At present, this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowl

27、edge and learning :doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants chemical engineers.

28、s and they are knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with their brains, but their manual work is based on a substantial amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through formal education ,not through an apprenticeship（学徒期）. They a

29、re not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see themselves as “professionals”, just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and political force in the 21th century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant socialand pe

30、rhaps also politicalforce over the next decades.31.The chief reason for keen （激烈的）competition in the knowledge society is that _.A. organizations and individuals are easily influenced by informationB. customers keep track of new products worldwideC. anyone can have access to knowledge anytime and an

35、proached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew hed been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“Im disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, si

36、r. Please forgive me. Its the first time Ive ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old mans sympathy.Mr Carrs brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Lets see what the police have to say. But first Ill call your mother and let her know her son is hea

37、ding to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins fin

38、ally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“Hes been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carrs arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cau

39、se him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The womans calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I dont want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and Ill let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higginss hand.Mrs. Higgi

40、ns thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mothers actions. “She was smoot

41、h!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mothers face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him w

42、ant to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face.

43、stolen anything.B. Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.C. Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.D. Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.37.

From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred _.A. was no longer a youth B. felt proud of his motherC. wanted his mother to be happy D. felt guilty and regretful for his deedD One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation is a blank stare that

46、asks the question, Since I dont live there, what does it have to do with me? The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain tha

47、t you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things)

48、 live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable. Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia,

49、 while the Amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. Many scientists strongly believe that deforest

50、ation contributes to the greenhouse effect - or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.

51、5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 2

52、0 years too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.41. The underlined word synthetics probably means .

53、e how to avoid the tropical deforestation B. persuade people to buy something synthetic C. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests D. let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation43. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The forests are losing

54、 their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.学* B. Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests. C. Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products. D. High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.44. The authors attitude towards the tropical deforestation is

55、. A. puzzling B. cold C. supporting D. opposed45. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Tropical Forests B. the value of Tropical Forests C. Tropical Forests and Our Life D. The Greenhouse Effects W 第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A，B，C，D，E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并
