future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities and alien languages. according to a survey published last week by the u.s. internet service provider american online( aol), only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school; the rest believe they will use jet packs, and hover boards( 滑板) as everyday transport. all the participants of the survey are teenagers born into the internet age. the study is to show how the first cyber generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology. most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. the 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects. more than one in two believe hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity. another third think jet packs will be popular. nearly 30 percent think playing football and bike-riding will remain popular. when it comes to the curriculum, they think future generations will be learning about robot building( 63 percent), alien languages( 47 percent) celebrities( 26 percent) and rnb music( 22 percent). children will wear virtual reality helmets to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted in their head will send relevant information into the brain. matt whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues of aol, said: “ the kids seem very aware of the liberation qualities of technology.”title ( 1 )_schoolchanges in the way of ( 2 )_ traveling at present, most students walk to school. in the future, students will use jet packs, and hover boards.changes in the

revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). with the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.in discussion of technological changes, the internet gets most of the attention these days. but the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. how long can humans live? human brains were known to decide the final death. cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. but the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. so metime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( the medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.it is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.64.according to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by .a、accidents and war b、diseases and aging c、accidents and aging d、heart disease and war65. in the author s opinion,

performance，decrease youth crimes and other high-risk behaviors，and help young people grow into healthy，successful adults. the effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits，higher rates of homework completion，improved grades，and higher scores on achievement tests. they also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. after-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. various studies show decreased rates of crime，drug use，and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar youth who do not. finally，after-school programs play an important role in supporting the following fields of development：physical development，mental development and social development. thus，one can safely say that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society. although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make a positive difference，it is important to note that not all programs are equal. first，dosage mattersyoung people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. next，after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. finally，program qualities matter. after-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. they should provide opportunities for positive relationships，skill building, meaningful involvement(参与)，expression，suggestion，service，and work. staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. the adults should treat youth as partners，create safe and fair environments，encourage personalized(个性化的) involvement，and actively create learning opportunities. in short，although after-school programs have a promising future，how they are designed and run matters. title：quality after-school programsaims(71)_ academic performancedecreasing youth crimes and other high-risk

parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. the generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyones winner.” and their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. as a result, stanford university professor carol dweck, phd, calls them “the overpraised generation.”dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. heres how they work:a fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic youre a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. the fixed mind-set believes its sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. when things get difficult, its quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.on the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. because the ego (自尊) isnt on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. when faced with a difficulty, its quick to rethink, change and try again. in fact, it enjoys this experience.we are all born with growth mind-sets. (otherwise, we wouldnt be able to live in the world.) but parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. dwecks book, mind-set: the new psychology of success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. but she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.【文章大意】本文是一篇科学调查报告。斯坦福大学教授dweck经过40年的调查研究认为人们对待失败有两种不同的思维模式，这两种思维模式对我们如何对待失败有很大的影响。第一种是有固定思维模式的人，他们认为才能是天生的，成功不需要努力而失败是耻辱。他们逃避未来的困难。第二种是具有成长思维模式的人，他们认为才能不是天生的，努力和学习使一切成为可能。向失败学习并把它看作成长的经历。57. what does the author think about the present generation?a. they dont do well at school.b. they are often misunderstood.c. they are eager to win in sports.d. they are given too much praise.【答案】d【解析】根据第一段中的“professor carol dweck, phd, calls them “the overpraised generation.”可知：他们被表扬的太多了。【考点定位】考查作者观点和看法。58. a fixed mind-set person is probably one who _ .a. doesnt want to work hardb. cares a lot about personal safetyc. cannot share
