25、卡上将该项涂黑。A Being raised on the edges of the great Okefenokee Swamp（沼泽）has its advantages. For me, one of these was having a father who knew the swamp and taught me to respect it and enjoy it. He had lived as a child along the edges of the swamp for several years. As a result of his efforts, I learned

26、 to hunt along its edges and to both fish and camp within its environs（周 围地区）. On at least two occasions I have canoed（乘独木舟）all the way through the Okefenokee camping overnight for 23 nights each trip. I have sought to teach my children not to fear the swamp and its mysteries, but instead to learn h

27、ow to enjoy it. As a part of that I have been sure to teach my sons about how to go camping in it. In the early part of this year, I was able to introduce my youngest son, now in college, the beauty of the great swamp. By planning ahead and achieving a camping permit from the headquarters office of

28、the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge, we were able to paddle in about 6 miles and camp overnight at the Coffee Bay shelter along the canal. It was a good family outing for those who were physically capable of paddling a canoe for medium distance. The camping was on a hard surface and that could make for s

29、ome uncomfortable sleeping for some people; however, the novelty（新奇）of it and the opportunities to see many types of birds and other wildlife made it worthwhile. The Park Service did a good job of posting highly visible trail markers as well, for those of us who might be afraid of making a wrong tur

30、n in such a broad watery and overgrown region. Those who would like to try such a trip should begin the process 3 4 weeks in advance by calling the office to make a reservation for a camping spot along one of the many trails marked out through the swamp, and the information should be learned about a

31、t their Internet website. 51. What is the main benefit for the author when he lived on the swamp? A. He watched a lot of rare birds that lived there. B. He learned hunting, fishing and camping there. C. He enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery there. D. He experienced some adventurous trips there. 5

32、2. The author planned the spring camping mainly to _. A. have a good spring holiday in the great swamp B. have an unforgettable sleep outside his home C. let his youngest son know the beauty of the swamp D. learn to control or paddle a canoe along the canal 53. Visitors should call the office 3 - 4

33、weeks in advance _. A. because they need to book their camping place B. in order that they will not lose their way in the great swamp C. so that the headquarters office will give them a permit D. so that they can know more information about the great swamp 54. We can learn from this passage that _.

34、A. the author and his family paddled a canoe for the longest distances B. the author and his son had some comfortable sleep in the camp spot C. the authors father was an experienced teacher on the knowledge of the swamp D. the author thinks the great Okefenokee Swamp is not scaring but mysterious 55

35、. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. The beauty of the great Okefenokee Swamp. B. How to protect the great Okefenokee Swamp C. How to survive in the great Okefenokee Swamp D. Camping and canoeing within the Okefenokee SwampB There is no denying that digital technology has the power to benefit ed

36、ucation, improve learning and introduce new and creative ways. However, with over 1.4 billion spent by schools on technology over the past year alone, researchers say this technology isnt being used to its full potential and promise. As we know, classrooms worldwide are being equipped with advanced

37、technology. However, all too often they are being used without a strong understanding of how to attain their educational power. Teachers just use them to support traditional teaching methods rather than considering new ways of teaching with them. It has also been reported that in spite of the billio

38、ns being invested by schools, test scores in reading and math have become unsuccessful since 2005 without any evidence that this huge investment is making a difference. In other words, schools are spending billions on technology but with very little proof that this approach is improving students bas

39、ic learning. Teachers say that for the past decade, technology has been prioritized(优先) above teaching, and they are really concerned about the problem and some schools unwise measures. Schools should only invest in technology when they have a very clear understanding of what they need, what it can

40、do, and what it will achieve. Students say how valuable they find the technology they have access to within school. Not only does it help them find new ways to enjoy subjects that are traditionally boring, but its also preparing them for college and work life in ways that would never be measured by

41、traditional tests anyway. To conclude, computer-based technology is a method, not an end. It is a tool that can be used to achieve instructional goals, but is not a goal in itself. Large-scale educational reform will never be easy, but it could be much less difficult if we let go of our out-date vie

42、ws of teaching, schooling and society. By carefully balancing technological investments with teaching and curriculum investments we will start to prepare our children for the challenges in the real world. 56. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us? A. The benefits of modern technology. B. T

43、eachers misusing modern technology. C. The popularity of modern technology. D. The relationship between education and modern technology. 57. What is implied in the result of the test in reading and math? A. The schools efforts to use the technology turned out a failure. B. The governments investment

44、 has improved the students abilities. C. Modern technology shouldnt be combined with traditional methods. D. The students in the classroom have been troubled by modern technology. 58. How do the teachers feel about the schools actions according to the passage? A. Satisfied. B. Confused. C. Worried.

45、D. Angry. 59. What is the students attitude towards the modern technology? A. It is a waste of time. B. It is valuable and helpful. C. It makes them feel relaxed. D. It helps in traditional tests. 60. Which of the following suggestions does the author agree with? A. Modern technology should be an ai

46、m rather than a way. B. The government should stop investing in modern technology. C. Teaching should be the only way to help children grow up. D. Teaching investment should keep up with the investment in technology.C Many of us are quick to blame others for how we feel: “He makes me so mad!” or “Sh

47、e really hurt my feelings.” But did someone really “make me angry” or are we feeling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us? The difference between the two is in who the responsible party is for the way we feel. If we blame others for our feelings we will

48、 eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation （报复）may be, and we will explain that it was their fault, not ours. “They were driving me mad”. When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is, no one con

49、trols our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to “push our buttons” then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our “buttons.” We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can “push them.” Ultimately, the switch for our bu

50、ttons is inside us not on the outside. While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control, like the weather or a flight thats two hours late, how we act and respond to other peoples behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control. If someone is “m

51、aking us” so mad, for example, that we get angry, we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. my suggestion is taking time before you get angry, and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单） of the past. An inventory can show you how much of yo

52、ur past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment. When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences, we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons

53、so that they are no longer left out in public for everyone to push at will. 61. What result will appear if we blame others for our emotions? A. We consider others to be correct. B. We consider ourselves to be correct. C. We consider we were driving ourselves mad. D. We consider they were driving the

54、mselves mad. 62. Whats the authors attitude towards feelings? A. We should blame others for the way we feel. B. We should enable others to control our feelings. C. We should let others know our daily life clearly. D. We should control personal feelings ourselves. 63. According to the author, which c

55、an always be under our control? A. The weather conditions. B. The delay of a flight. C. Other peoples feelings. D. Our own behavior. 64. Which proverb best suits the authors advice in Paragraph 5? A. A burden of ones choice is not felt. B. A friend is easier lost than found. C. Think twice before ac

56、ting. D. A good beginning is half done. 65. What does the underlined phrase “push our buttons” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Force us to do a good job. B. Make us angry. C. Take off our buttons. D. Let us down.D Should girls go to school only with other girls? Is it better for boys to attend all-

57、boy schools? Educators at school for girls in Washington D.C. believe children in classes of the same sex do better, but other experts say there is no real evidence to support that idea. They believe there are other more important things that make a school effective. Excel Academy is the first all-g

58、irl school in Washington, D.C. that is independently operated and supported by taxpayers. It was established in 2007 and opened its doors in 2008. The Excel Academy provides free education to children from families without much money. It serves more than 600 girls from preschool, the youngest childr

59、en to grade five. Three meals are served each day. One of its students is 10-year-old Anyreah, who attended kindergarten in a classroom with boys. She says boys have different interests from girls. Shes now at Excel for the following five years. “They would like to tell me that I can do it. They mak

60、e me feel like Im loved and that Im the smarter person in the world.” Kaye Savage established the school. She says that when boys and girls are taught together, the teachers teach for the boys. She says boys are a little louder and much more active than the girls, which makes girls second-class citi

61、zens in their own classrooms and schools. But Galen Sherwin at the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU, disagrees. She says the evidence, in her words, is not really there to support claims that same sex classrooms produce better results. Similarities between boys and girls are much greater and

62、 more relevant than any differences. Certainly any differences that exist are not relevant from an educational viewpoint, Sherwin said. Elaine Weiss is an education expert. She believes other considerations besides same sex classes have a bigger effect on children success in school. She says everyth

63、ing that happens in childrens early development is important. “some of the early gap should be dealt with before kids get to kindergarten The classes should be relatively small, so that teachers can have a one-on-one conversation and interaction with students. And after-school opportunities should b

69、n American homes. And homes are responsible for about one fourth of the nations total energy use. But there are surprisingly simple ways to deeply cut energy use, its effect on the environment and its cost. David Peabody and his team at Peabody Architects design passive homes.

70、solar or wind energy equipment. But they are extremely energy efficient. They cut heating and cooling costs by about ninety percent.
