On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.The kids came into the first period. They walked in, there were no desks. They looked around and said, Ms Cochran, wheres our desks? And she said, You cant have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”They thought, Well, maybe its our grades.”No, she said. Maybe its our behavior. And she told them, No, its not even your behavior. Second period, the same thing. Third period. By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochrans class to find out about this crazy teacher. The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom. she said, Now Im going to tell you. Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And by the time they had finished placing those desks; those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks. Martha said, You dont have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but its up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and dont ever forget it! 56.

Because kids didnt need any desks at her classes. D. Because the desks were all broken.57. Who give kids to have a chance to get education? A. Teachers. B. The headmaster. C. Kids themselves. D.

We use electricity, gas and oil to light and heat our buildings and run our cars. The demand for power is growing. But we may not need to build new power plants for or find more oil. The best way to increase our supply of energy is to be more efficient.Did you know that when you leave your video-game console on, it consumes more electricity than two refrigerators? Or that those funny-looking, twisty bulbs use 75 less power than traditional light bulbs? We have the tools to save money, reduce pollution and even help our planet, simply by wasting less energy.As President, Barack Obama plans to make energy efficiency in American a major goal. He has pledged to cut 15% of all energy used by the Federal Government. In a speech, he called for 75% of government office buildings to be updated for better efficiency. He pointed out that energy-efficient buildings and homes will save consumers billions of dollars on energy bills. An extra benefit, he added, will be a cleaner, safer planet.Gas, coal and oil are called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have been the worlds main source of energy for hundreds of years. But burning them releases dirty gases, which cause pollution.There are two main ways to save energy. The first is to use more efficient machines. Hybrid cars use less gas. New appliances are designed to use less electricity. Todays refrigerators are three times more efficient than those before 1973. Laptop computers consume much less energy than desktop computers.The second is to use machines more productively. According to the US Department of Energy, in the average home, 75 of the electricity used to power electronic equipment is standby power (备用电源) . That means power flowing to plugged-in appliances whether or not they are being used.Homeowners can avoid wasting power by pulling the plug on appliances when they are not in use. Efficiency experts argue that todays best techniques could cut US oil and gas use in half, and reduce our electricity use by three-fourths.59. The underlined word pledged in Paragraph 3 probably means _ .A. promised B. wondered C. reminded D. attempted60. By referring to Obamas plan, the author mainly intended to say that _. A. the US government office buildings have wasted the most energy B. Obama has decided to take the lead to cut down the use of electricityC. it is time for the US to shoulder the responsibility for a cleaner planetD. the US is determined to improve energy efficiency in the whole America61. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. to build new power plants or find more oil is no longer usefulB. burning fossil fuels can lead to a growing demand for powerC. everyone can make a difference by wasting less energyD. most of the electricity is wasted with appliances plugged-in62. What would be the best title for the text?A. The worlds largest consumer of energy. B. The worlds energy efficiency movement.C. We need to find new energy. D. We have to be more energy efficient.C.Hearst Castle is a palatial(宫殿式) park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark.

It looks, feels and weighs like your typical leather purse. Thats where the similarities end: this bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings and remind you, just as youre about to leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you take an umbrella. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf. Surely, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices, part of next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty (耐磨损的) cycle. As a result, these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on their stomachs. Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years, Nanda expects it will cost around $ 150, which is the price of an average leather purse.Heres how the bag works: You place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that youve forgotten to take your wallet. In turn, sensors on your purses handles will notify the computer that youve picked up the purse and are ready to go. Already, these new kinds of wearable devices are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring - and even, increasingly, for consumers at large. Indeed, more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years - making for a booming market for wearable computers that dont look like something out of science fiction.67. Which of the following describes a wearable computer?A. It can be washed in washing machines. B. It is much heavier than a leather purse. C. It can download songs from the Internet. D. It is made of clothes conducting electricity.68. According to the passage, the new wearable computers _. A. require users to operate on the stomach B. pick up the signals through wires and chips C. are being applied in some different areas nowD. are smarter but more expensive than the old ones69. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The new wearable computers have become fashionable.B. People would like to learn more about the new computers.C. New wearable computers promise to sell well in the future.D. The idea of the purse-like computers comes from science fiction.70. The purpose of the passage is to _A. introduce a new kind of computer B. explain the functions of computers C. compare different types of computers D. show how high technology affects our life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。选项中有两项为多于选项。E.
