The report noted the concerns of business lea

17、ders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part. Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is

18、 the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade students writing more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as

19、e-readers. They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the State of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no differenc

20、e between the computer grades and those given by the human readers. The entrance test commonly used by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreig

21、n Language. Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writing against those already examined. How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do

22、 the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea. But inventors of the progr

23、ams say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.41. From the first paragraph we can conclude that _.A. American students writing ability is being improvedB. American students writing

24、 ability is not satisfactoryC. business leaders and teachers are not worried about American students writingD. all college entrance tests will include a writing part42. What do the teachers think of the computer system? A. They think highly of the computer systems.B. They think that computers cannot

25、 grade writing as well as people.C. They believe that computers can understand a writers idea well.D. They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct students school work43. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers? A. Saving much of teachers time B. Saving a lot of money.

26、C. Being fair and objective D. Appreciating humor and beauty44. According to the passage, which of the following tests has been graded by using the computer systems? A. the GMAT B. The GRE C. the TOEFL D. all of the above45. The best title of this passage might be _.A. Computer-graded Writing B. Hum

27、an-graded WritingC. How to Improve Students Writing D. Advantages of E-readers. BGene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot

28、 topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effecti

29、ve way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well.

30、In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which

31、 is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene resear

32、ch can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world

33、 can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.46. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to ?A gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned babyC. The two diseases

34、 of cancer and heart diseaseD. Hereditary diseases and cancer47. Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B.

Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in y

39、our science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyones reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class w

40、ith him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make

41、 fun of them if they dont go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “ everyones doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong

42、 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 answerjust because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!
