In a class this past December, after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”

“I can’t read my own handwriting,” the young woman explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”

That remark started a class-wide discussion about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, reasons extended(扩展) beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the way in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.

Yet the use of cameras may be convenient, it does raise questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?

Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than just recording necessary information—it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned method, but just because a method has a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down engages a student’s brain in listening, visual, and kinesthetic(触觉的) learning. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin to memorize, to process and combine it, helping learning new knowledge.

Taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it lacks some of the necessary mental activities that taking notes employs. So can the two be equally effective?

25. The woman apologized in the class because she_________.

A. took a picture of the board   B. missed the teachers’ directions

C. had the bad handwriting     D. disturbed other students’ learning

26. According to the passage, which of the following may NOT explain students’ unwillingness to take notes?

A. They believe smart phones are much safer for storing notes.

B. They want to listen more attentively in class.

C. They lack proper techniques for taking notes. 

D. They want to have the exact version of the notes on the board.

27. According to the passage, taking notes by hand__________.

A. requires students to think independently  

B. seems unsuitable for students to learn new ideas

C. proves to be an old and useless learning method

D. helps students actively participate in learning

28. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The traditional way of note-taking should be replaced.

B. Note-taking by hand is not out of date.

C. A modern way of note-taking is catching on.

D. A picture is worth a thousand words.

 Our team was ahead during the first half, but we _____ in the last ten minutes.

You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes. But now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.

The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately. Frankfurt-based IT consultant, Daniel Kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising money to put his ￡43sticker into production.

Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen, having set it up with key information, such as their phone number. The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that, when touched by a traffic policeman, will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine. The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone, which will appear on the sticker’s screen.

The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way, a German law. The law states: an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle. It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car. 

Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way. A spokesman said, “In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket. However, a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning. ”

So far, Mr. Kalliontzis has raised just over￡2,362of his￡39,381goal. If he manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped in June 2015. But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages, because anyone could touch the smart sticker.

8. The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________． 

A. explain how a smart car sticker works     B. advise drivers to buy a car sticker

C. show the importance of a sensor          D. tell drivers how to park a car

9. We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________.

A. car owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticket

B. smart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in Germany

C. traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car

D. the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers

10.The underlined word “discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”.

A. trouble        B. pressure       C. freedom       D. opportunity

11. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Daniel Kalliontzis -a great inventor     B. Environment-friendly car stickers

C. Parking systems in Europe            D. End of the parking ticket

I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new   41  , and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.    42    he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his   43    .

So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely   44    for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.   45    me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he  46    me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had   47    spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the  48   I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.

I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,   49   what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without    50    knowing it? What I finally came to    51    was one day, several months before, when some students were     52    reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke    53    , and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the    54    one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the    55    of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,   56  more, and became happy. And it was all because he   57  to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed    58    was the one who took the last seat that day.

It taught me the most    59   lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came    60    and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

In many businesses，computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible and do not make mistakes. As the banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.”And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their trade is “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation(诱惑). Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they have no conscience and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.

    Computer criminals don't use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it, but simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City Bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion. No one noticed the theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error and then replaced the missing money from someone else's account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.

    Some employees use the computer's power to get revenge on their bosses they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than professional life. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she rubbed out all the company's computerized records.

Most computer criminals have been common workers. Now the police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer works. ”

51. Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible?

A. They are fast, flexible and accurate to run every program.

B. They usually function normally.

C. They have no sense of what is right or wrong.

D. They have no reason to steal money.

52. The author uses the case of the head teller to show______.

A. how computer criminals do evil things

B. how hard it is to find a computer criminal

C. computers lack conscience

D. computer crime can involve a big sum of money

53. The head teller was found guilty of stealing______.

A. after the police examined the illegal gambling operation documents.

B. when the police broke up an illegal gambling operation.

C. after he was questioned in the unusual balance of an account.

D. when he was caught transmitting money from one account from another.

54. Why did the computer-tape librarian erase all the company's computerized records?

A. She might think it was right to revenge any injustice in personal life.

B. She might think the employer was wrong to fire her for personal problems.

C. The company carelessly gave her enough time to do the erasing.

D. The company always interfered with its employees’ personal life.

55. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Minor employees are supposed to be responsible for economic criminals.

B. Of all crimes, computer theft is the “tip of the iceberg”.

C. There are more computer crimes committed by computer masters.

D. Computer crimes are all poorly done.

 “The really big concern over the last decade，” according to Dr. David Whitehead, “is the relative loss of opportunities for children to engage in child­led play.” That's true. One of the exhausting aspects of modern parenting is that everything, even doing nothing, has to be purposeful. Now that “parenting” has become a verb—a state of doing, rather than simply being—it can feel unnatural to leave your children to their own devices. Yet it creates spaces in which good things can happen. The psychology lecturer is responding to a survey showing that 80 percent of parents of small children feel under pressure to fill their days with “structured” activities. This, says Dr. Whitehead, is a mistake. Leaving your children to play on their own or with their peers enables them to develop “self­regulation abilities”， which in turn leads to better academic achievement.

One afternoon last autumn, sitting on a bench doing no parenting at all, I suddenly felt I was getting the hang of it.

That afternoon, my sister and I took our children to the park. We had lots to talk about, so we sat down on a bench and drove the children away. After briefly complaining, the cousins wandered off and started jumping into puddles(水洼)．

They jumped and jumped, and then one of them kicked some muddy water at the others. My sister and I, deep in conversation, didn't notice this. So my nephew became more adventurous. He scooped up a handful of mud and threw it on my son's head. My son caught his breath happily wiped the mud out of his eyes, and threw one back. My nephew, who has a talent for naming things, puffed out his tiny chest and roared：“Let's play Muddikins！”

The rules of Muddikins are simple. You run around throwing mud at each other until everyone is so thickly coated that you can no longer be sure which child is whose. Nothing is learnt from it; nobody is improved. It is pure fun, of the sort that can only happen when parents drop the reins(缰绳). They_did_it. “Whoa, that's so cool，” said one. “I wish my mum was like you.”

29．What is stressed in Paragraph 1?

A．Child­led play matters in the development of children.

B．Parents' concern over their children is unnecessary.

C．Children's activities should be well organized.

D．Parenting is everything in a family.

30．What does the author think of the behavior of the children in the puddles?

A．Amazing.        B．Troublesome.  C．Adventurous.     D．Worthwhile.

31．By saying “They did it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ________.

A．The reins were dropped   

B．She failed to distinguish her child

C．The children learned from the Muddikins

D．She confirmed Dr. David Whitehead's theory

32．The text is mainly about the relationship between ______.

A．parents and children             B．individual and group

C．play and acquisition             D．theory and practice

 Don’t let anyone or anything discourage you ________ hanging on ________ your studies.

  A. with; to                B. from; with               C. from; to                  D. by; about

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk. I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had. Be bold and brave---and mighty(强大的) forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short（未达到） in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into (跳入)deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹) — and stopped him cold.(毫无准备地)”

Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off (富有)than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
