The problem for schools is that when it _ 4 _ computers, parents dont always know best. Many schools are yielding to parental impatience and are purchasing hardware _ 5_ sound education al planning so they can say, “OK, weve moved into the computer age.” Teachers found themselves caught in the middle of the problembetween parent pressure a nd _ 6_ educational decisions. Educators do not even agree _ 7 _ how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized e ducational materials _ 8_ research has shown can be taught _ 9 _ with pencil and paper. Even those who believe that all children should h ave access to computers, warn of potential _ 10_ to the very young. The temptation remains strong largely because young children _ 11_ s o well to computers. First graders have been seen willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes. _ 12_ sch ool can afford to go into computing, and that creates _ 13_ another problem: a division between the haves and havenots. Very few parents are agita ting _ 14_ computer instruction in poor school districts, _ 15 _ there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.1. A. items B. toys C. sets D. series2. A.

C) 通过分析本句结构可知此空所在句是一个从句，作主句的原因状语 ，结合选项可知 此空需要动词的过去分词表示“确信、相信”的意思，故选项C为正确答案，因为“be conv inced that”意为“确信、相信”。3. B) 主句中动词为insist时，一般宾语从句应该使用虚拟语气，并且一 般情况下省略should。4. B) 此空前it的使用法在语法上叫“虚义”it，因此它无法和talk abo ut, mention搭 配使用。come to有几种意义分别为“归因是”，“结果是”;“谈到”，“想到”;“总 共”，“共达”等。Turn to意为“转向，指向”等。根据上下文可推断句义为“当谈到计 算机的问题时，”，由此可见此空应选B come to。5. A) 根据句义“许多学校在没有制定良好的教学计划前，就屈从了家长 们的压力购买了电脑。”可判断此空应使用介词without。6. A) 根据上下文可知学校迫于家长的压力不得不购买了电脑，这使得老 师们处 于两难境地，即家长的压力和明智正确的教育方针，故此空选A。clever一般用来指人。7. A) agree on意为“同意”某某观点。Agree with后接人。8. D) that用于此空引导定语从句。9. C) 此句句义为“很多钱被用来购买电脑教学资料，但是研究表明用纸 和笔教学能达到 同样的教学效果。”可知，此空词应使此句构成比较结构，而选项A和B都没有此功能，选项 D意义不符，故选项C为正确答案，just as well原为固定搭配，意为“幸亏，幸而”，但在 此处是省略了第二个as的比较结构。10. C) 根据句意“潜在的危险”可知此空正确答案为选项C。11. C) adapt to意为“适应”。Devote to意为“奉献，献身于”意义 不符。12. B) 根据上下文可推断句义为：不是每个学校都能买得起电脑。故此空 选B。13. D) 此空涉及yet的用法。首先可用排除法排除already, of course, i n addition， 因为他们要么意义不符，要么用法不符。Yet既可作副词也可作连词。作副词时意为“还、 仍然、尚”，常用于否定句中，如 Much remain yet to be done. / He has not yet hear d the good news.有时意为“已经”，常用于疑问句中。作连词时意为“而，然而，可是” 。此空yet符合第一种用法。14. A) “agitate for”意为“鼓动，赞成”。15. D) where用于此空引导非限定性的定语从句。4. Have you ever wondered what our future is like?Practically all people _1_ a desire to predict their future _2_.Most people seem inclined to _3_ this task using causal reasoning.First we _4_ recognize that future circumstances are _5_ caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will _6_ how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy _7_ with a shark.Second,people also learn that such _8_ of cause and effect are probabilistic(可能的) in nature.That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are _9_, but not always.Thus,students learn that studying hard _10_ good grades in most instances,but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more _11_ and provides techniques for dealing _12_ then more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry,we need to _13_ between prediction and understanding.Often,even if we dont understand why,we are willing to act _14_ the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.Whatever the primitive drives _15_ motivate human beings,satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to _16_ future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a _17_ of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns _18_,you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus,human inquiry aims _19_ answering both what and why question,and we pursue these _20_ by observing and figuring out.1.

C) 根据上下文，此空应该为介词，故选项A和B可被排除，因为它们后边 不能直接跟名词短语。根据句义，选项C为正确答案。2. D) 根据语义线索(报纸有一个基本目的就是以最快速度从新闻来源处得到新闻)可知选项D为正确答案。3. C) 根据语义线索选项C know 为正确答案。4. B) 此题涉及other, another 两词的用法。Other可以单独使用也可以和定冠词the一起使用，other一般用来修饰表示不确定所指的复数可数名词，意为“其他”;the other用来指代或修饰特定范围内的第二者或第三者等，不合适。Another一般修饰可数名词单数，不合适One another是相互代词，不能作限定词。综上，根据语法线索，选项B为正确答案。5.

B) 根据句义可知此空应使用意为“通过”的介词。故选项B through 为正确答案。 10. B) 根据上下文可推断此句大概句义为“报纸通过广告维持它们的存在”，故选项B existence“存在”为正确答案。11. C) 根据上下句句义可以推断，报纸不是通过出售其本身所得来维持其生存，而是通过刊登广告的收入来维持其生存，并且对于大多数的报纸来说主要的经费来源是商业广告，而不是出售报纸，因此可以猜测出报纸的售价不能涵盖其制作印刷成本，因此选项C为正确答案。其它三项意义不符。12. A) 根据上句可推断此句的答案只能从A、B两项之间产生。Origin意为“起源，根源”不合适。故选项A source“来源”为正确答案。13. C) 根据此句义“这(报纸对广告商的价值)是以报纸的发行量来衡量” 及上下文可推断此空应填动词的被动形式，故选项C为正确案。14. B) 选项B为ed分词作后置定语。15. D) 根据词汇线索和语义线索可知，此处需要使用介词about，表示“关于社区、国家和世界的信息”。6.
