The cash register (现金出纳机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldnt figure out how to count out the coins.“ I understood Mikes concern. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative (有创造力的). The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids cant tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we dont, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, lets concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy reading books. Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination. 6. What is the problem with the employee of the fast food restaurant? A. She does not know how to operate the cash register. B. She is unable to solve simple math problems. C. She lacks coins for customers. D. She does not know how to count coins. 正确答案：B题目解析：细节推断题。从第一段中“she couldnt figure out how to count out the coins”（她不能解决如何去点硬币的数目的问题）可以推断出她不能解决好简单的数学问题，所以正确答案为 B“她不能解决简单的数学问题” 。7. What is Mikes concern? A. People now rely too much on information technology. B. Many restaurants now do not provide good service. C. Modern technology feeds us too much information. D. We are creating people who can. 正确答案：D题目解析：推断题。第一段中都在说借助电子工具不去自己思考，在最后一段里也提到了“Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves.”（学生们必须被教导不要通过运用电脑程序去死记，而要去独自思考和得出结论）所以只有 D 准确,正确答案为 D“我们正在创造那些不能独自思考的人 ”。8. For children to be interested in reading, they must _. A. have an imaginative mind B. be given the right books C. turn off their television sets D. have a large enough vocabulary 正确答案：A题目解析：细节推断题。从第二段最后一句“They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.”（孩子们对电视和电影是如此的依赖，以至于他们不能运用他们自己的想象力去对读物感兴趣）可以推断出来正确答案为 A“由于孩子们对阅读感兴趣，他们一定具有富有想象力的思维”。9. What solution does the author suggest to our childrens problem? A. Get them off TV and computer games. B. Turn off all electronic equipment at school. C. Teach them how to learn from video games. D. Give them freedom in the use of computers. 正确答案：A电大复习资料题目解析：细节推理题。从第二段中第三句“Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play.”（电子游戏占据了活跃想象游戏的太多空间）可以推理出作者建议让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏，所以正确答案为 A“让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏” 。10.We can see from the passage that the author believes _. A. information technology is being overused B. modern technology helps us to do things we dont even understand C. reading benefits children more than anything else D. electronics has no place in the classroom 正确答案：C题目解析：细节推断题。在最后一段中“lets concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy reading books.”（让我们把注意力集中在那些老式的好的文学读物上来吧）可以推断出作者的用意，所以正确答案为 C“我们从这篇文章里看出来，作者认为阅读对于孩子们来说比任何其他事情都有益”。Even the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are overwatered(浇水过多). Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted(盆栽的) plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall (降临)the plants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither (枯萎)away if they dont get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem. A plant that has been slightly underwatered so that it droops strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the overwatered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the underwatered plantbut with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away. 11. From the text we can infer a horticulturist is a person engaged in _. A. growing plants B. raising birds C. cutting plants D. studying the death cause of plants 正确答案：A题目解析： horticulturis 园艺家，根据这个单词和文章讲的种花技巧可以明白 ,正确答案选 A。12. What does a new gardener usually decide to do to keep their potted plants alive? A. Underwatering the plants. B. Fertilizing the pot soil. C. Overwatering the plants. D.

According to the text, which of the following plants might die without recovery? A. Plants with their lower leaves yellowing. B. Overwatered plants. C. Underwatered plants. D. Plants with worms. 正确答案：B题目解析：由文章可以看出讲的是关于植物浇水过多的问题，并没有提到虫的问题，排除答案 D，答案 A 是浇水过多的表现，也排除，由“Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves”可以看出浇水过多会逐渐使植物死掉而且表现不明显，正确答案选 B。14. A withered plant might be rescued because _. A. it doesnt alive B. it is repeatedly overwatered C. it gives visible signal of dying D. it dies slowly 正确答案：C题目解析：由文章“slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves”可以看出枯萎的植物说明已经濒临死亡，需要进行救助，正确答案选 C。15.

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚), he discovered the channel which is now called Magellans Strait. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, men were dying of starvation. While
