I also love my laptop puter，as it holds all 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 municate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include 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 rule no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume 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 anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate 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 engageplex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information 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 make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations 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, 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.4. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with_.A. the course material B. others misuse oftechnologyC. discussion topics D. the authors class regulations5. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means _.A. explore B. acceptC. change D. reject6. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may _.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand plex themesD. affect students concentration on course evaluation7. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _.A. is quite stubborn B. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D【解析】本文以教师的身份谈到为何不允许学生在课堂上玩ipad、手机等通讯工具，因为technology会影响我们的深入交流。4. 细节理解题。由文章第二段内容可以得出。5. 细节理解题，由I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage plex ideas. 可知technology会影响我们深入的交流。Engage与explore探索意义表述与之对应。6. 推理判断题。结合Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom可推断出作者认为technology会阻止学生的独立思考能力。7. 推理判断题。结合最后一段可得出答案。作者最终坚持她的values technology-free dialogues in his class的观点。CThe Crown Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to man guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bile linked to a generator(发电机).

Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they are in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.12. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _.A. their home forts B. their body shapeC. house buying D. healthy diets13. A home environment in blue can help people _.A. digest food better B. reduce food intakeC. burn more calories D. regain their appetites14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A视频12. B 推理判断题。根据全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知，这篇文章更可能是对那些在乎自己的体型的人有帮助。故选B。13. B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话in one study,可知在蓝色的房间内人吃的相对较少。故选B。14. C 推理判断题。最后一段介绍，要想少吃，要用小碗小勺，前面介绍说到，吃得快，房间暗会增加饮食，放舒缓的音乐有助于减少饮食的速度和进食量。故选C。15. A主旨大意题。根据开头的后文可知，本文就房间的布置给那些想减肥的人士提了一些建议。所以选A可以更好地概括全文。考点：科普类短文阅读第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, dont they?
