17、ces, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used wi

18、ndmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was availa

19、ble to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.

20、 Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.24.From the text we know that windmills .A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply pow

21、er to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered25.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19gh century? A. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity. C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.26.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in

23、of wind power plants. C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.CStudents and Technology in the Classroom I love my Black berryits my little connection to the large world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds al

24、l of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others. On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include

25、a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a ruleno laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. Mos

26、t students assume（假设） that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am antitechnology. Theres no truth in that al all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate

27、 to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside info

28、rmation for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluatio

29、ns reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class,

30、but until I hear a really good reason for the change, Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.28.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with . A. the course materialB. others misuse of technology C. discussion topicsD. the authors

31、class regulations29. The underlined word“engage”in Para. 4 probably means . A. explore B. acceptC. changeD. reject30.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may . A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help stud

32、ents to better understand complex themesD. affect students concentration on course evaluation31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author . A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching history C. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classDCan

33、dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe（方法） for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are int

34、roduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported c

35、oldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signa

36、ls submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have

37、appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy

38、 sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs ca

42、much homework.

The Rand Corporation in California did the other study. The research shows that on

43、ly one in ten high school students spends more than two hours a night on homework.The Brookings report noted(提出) an international math and science study from 1995. 37 However, students in France, Italy, Russia, and South Africa reported they spent at least two times as long on homework.The Rand repo

Different students have different opinions. Students who a

66、re in favour of it make up 30% of all. They think they can know many world-famous great books in a short time. Meanwhile, they can benefit a lot from reading, such as improving the reading ability as well as writing ability. But the other 70% of the students hold a different opinion. Now that they have so many subjects to learn, they wont have time to read the books, which must be a burden. Besides, they cant grasp the essence of the books. For me, I strongly support the school to provide the opportunity to read the great books.
