countrys school system completely digital. the plan is to get rid of textbooks and replace them with digital learning materials stored in a central database, which students would get into with pcs. though some digital education programs have been tried in the u.s. and other countries, few can match the south korean plan. while it will certainly be interesting to spread out, a completely paperless school system will surely stand for other countries to follow. perhaps the digital learning revolution will have its start in seoul. the digital developments have improved our personal lives. it was a matter of time before they would finally have an effect on other fields. its an exciting time in education-whether youre a ceo setting plans for growth, an it expert making new technology decisions or an educator giving lively courses. all of us are connected by the movement of a more digital campus. todays generation has integrated web-based technology into their daily lives. expectations are forming: lively content-anytime, anywhere and on any equipment. and those expectations arent just for fun-theyre spreading into the educational space as well. expanding our digital footprint isnt just an excitement-its a necessity. and ceos and it experts arent the only ones feeling the pressure to improve-educators are as well. more and more studies report a change from teaching to learning-moving away from giving lectures of facts to encouraging skills of self-study, analysis and learning paths ; from courses built using a single textbook to numbers of available publisher materials ; and from dull content to lively digital advantages that connect the learners, providing real-time response. students arent the only ones benefiting from this change. educators can now easily build lively online courses while increasing student outcomes.45. why does the author take the south koreans decision for example? a. to introduce digital educations role and value. b. to prove even a small country has a great dream. c. to call on all the countries to carry out digital education. d. to persuade american government to carry out digital education.46. what can we learn from the second paragraph? a. digital developments have nothing to do with our daily life. b. ceos and it experts have more pressure to make work plans. c. educators should use digital techniques to make classes exciting. d. digital education will sooner or later be carried out across the world.47. the underlined word integrated is closest in meaning to _ a. direct b. advise c. combine d. admit48. the use of digital technology in education is _ a. a success for teachers and students to make friends b. a revolution of teaching to learning with many advantages c. an advance to attract more students to learn it knowledge d. an improvement in making more companies to support schoolscburns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. they can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. if you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help. first-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. the skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home. second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. in these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. severe pain and swelling also occur. second-degree burns require medical treatment. third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. if nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. these burns require emergency medical attention. follow these steps when treating minor burns at home 1) if the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain. seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.). 2) if the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately. 3) remove all clothing to stop further burning. if the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it. 4) cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters. 5) monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly. 49. the underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “_”.a. they can be dangerous if you dont treat them seriouslyb. they range from slight burns to deadly onesc. they seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyd. they usually cause deaths if not treated properly50. burns are divided into different degrees according to _.a. what kind of treatment they needb. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedc. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isd. which layer of skin is burned51. from the passage we learn that _. a. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentb. first-degree burns dont require medical treatmentc. burns without pains can be treated at homed. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is52. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. you shouldnt cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeb. you shouldnt move the person unless you know how to do first aidc. you shouldnt run cool water over the burn if the skin is brokend. you shouldnt place any wet towels on the burned area dfarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. one important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. farmers plant them in lines around their fields. windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. they also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. they are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.there have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of west africa, for example. they found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection. however, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. if the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. these motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. for this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line. there should be at least two lines in each windbreak. one line should be large trees. the second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.53.what is a windbreak according to the passage?a. a windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.b. a windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.c. a windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.d. a windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.54.when can windbreaks be most effective?a. the trees are planted one by one.b. the trees and plants grow in a line.c. the trees grow as high as they can.d. windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.55.which of the following statements is not true? a. a windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation. b. a windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat. c. one line of trees is enough for soil protection. d. locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.第二节 七选五（满分10分）everyone knows that the frenchmen are romantic, the italians are fashionable and the germans are serious. are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? and if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?at least one group of people is certain that it can. a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the uk found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public. britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. it has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 56 jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the uk is its home.scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea. they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 57 those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others but at the cost of losing their own. two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.58 . but there is also opposite evidence. the organization for economic cooperation and development recently reported that the uk is now the worlds fourth largest economy. that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe. so the british people are not lazy, either.“it is not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper, a professor of management at the university of manchester
