no. there have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. here the whole city is connected to the internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. the schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. because everyone can go on the internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. how will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? it is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the internet.61. who thinks that students wont have to go to school?a. everyone.b. the writer.c. some people.d. the teachers.62. what does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?a. a school with many new computers.b. a school with many new students.c. a school with many new teachers.d. a school connected to the internet.63. what the writer thinks is that_.a. schools are still necessaryb. more schools should be builtc. there should be fewer schoolsd. more computers are needed in schools64. why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?a. because whole city is connected to the internet.b. because everyone can go on the internet.c. because getting online is very easy.d. because scientists could give talks through the internet.65. what fact does the passage not provide?a. technology will change our way of learning.b. if you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology.c. the schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.d. on the internet, you can visit another citys libraries as easily as the people there.cmy teachers suggested that i see a speech specialist (专家) in school.i never really gave much thought to my speech. if other people understood what i was saying, then that was good enough. i didnt mind repeating myself many times.before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what i thought of having good speech. i told her i thought it was not important.“well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they dont know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? nice meeting you, bye,” she said.maybe good speech was important. i took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.after she tested me, she told me that i spoke too fast, and didnt give enough eye contact (眼神交流). i learned that when i made eye contact with someone, it meant that i was talking to that person, and i could also see what he or she thought about what i was saying.when my first speech class started, i found that i had been speaking too fast to be understood. every time i spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. at first, i got stopped after almost every other sentence. after a while, i felt my speech slow down. i wasnt sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.speech is an important skill to have. if you do have good speech, thats a good thing, but if you dont have it, it is never too late to improve. 66. the article is probably taken from . a. a newspaper b. an advertisement c. a detective story d. a science book67. what did the writer think of having good speech before the classes?a. it was very useful. b. it was nothing important.c. it was impossible. d. it was good for interviewing.68. what were the writers problems when he was speaking?a. he spoke too quickly. b. he never stopped once he started talking.c. he seldom kept eye contact with people. d. he didnt give others time to ask questions.a. a, b b. b, c c. a, c d. b, d69. from the sentence “but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself,” we know that _.a. the writers friends couldnt understand him b. the writer still couldnt make eye contactc. the writer improved a lot d. the writer didnt slow down70. through the passage, the writer wants to tell us that _.a. seeing a speech specialist is necessary b. speech is an important skill to havec. good speech can help you make friends d. good speech gets good affectdwhen i was a child i never said, when i grow up, i want to be a ceo, but here i am. when i look back on my career, i realize the road to becoming a ceo isnt a straight, clear path. in fact, no two paths are the same. but whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. as this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a ceo may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. and every ceo take risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. i grew up in minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. i went to georgetown university and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. and i always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客). im only 29, so its been a quick ride to ceo. out of college, i worked for aol as a product manager, then moved to revolution health and ran the consumer product team. in mid-2007 i left revolution health and started livingsocial with several other workmates, where i became a ceo. career advice: dont figure out where you want to work, or even what industry youd like to work at. figure out what makes you do so. what gives you a really big rush? answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. also, just because youre graduating, dont stop learning. read more books than you did in college. if you do, and theyre not, youre really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do. 71. what can we know from the first paragraph?a. the writer hasnt achieved his childhood ambition. b. the writer thinks there is some easy way to become a ceo. c. the writer had an ambition of becoming a ceo in his childhood. d. the writer believes success stories of ceos can be beneficial(有益的) to everybody. 72. according to the writer, successful ceos should _. a. try not to take risksb. stay in the same businessc. have a strong sense of creativityd. save every possible penny73. what can we know about the writer from the passage?a. he started livingsocial when he was still a student of georgetown university. b. he used to run the consumer product team for aol. c. his business activities at college ended up in more failure than success. d. his father had far-reaching influence on him. 74. what does the underlined phrase “figure out”
