No notebooks，no textbooks，no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens，which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment. A“paperless classroom”is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students dont do any handwriting in this class. Instead，they use palm size，or speciallydesigned computers.The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every students personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information on any subject theyre studying from maths to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida，US，described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan(阿富汗) over one year ago.“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps(难民营)，”she said.“Using a book thats three or four years old is impossible.”And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee，US，students take tests on their own computers.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book. A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky US said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers，”she said. But，with all this technology，theres always the risk that the machines will break_down.So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hitech students.56What does the part of the last but one sentence in the first paragraph，“run out of ink at the critical moment” mean?APens may not write well at the critical moment.BPens get lost easily，so you may not find them at the critical moment.CPens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.DPens use ink，while pencils dont.57In a paperless classroom, what is a must?APens.BComputers. CInformation. DTexts.58The high school teacher，Judy Herrell，used the example of her class to show that_.Athe Web could take them everywhereBthe Web taught them a lotCthe Web is a good tool for informationDthe Web，better than the textbooks，can give the latest and comprehensive(全面的) information59The paperless classrooms will do good to _ most.Astudents Bteachers Ctrees Dcomputers60What does the phrase in the last paragraph，“break down”，mean?ABreak into pieces. BStop working.CFall down. DLose control.BAngry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede(踩踏) at“Love Parade 2010”，a music festival in Germany，killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturdays tragedy in the western city of Duisburg.“This was a very sad day，”Merkel said.“We must do everything we can to ensure that something like this never happens again.”Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel，the only entrance to the Love Parade festival，from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded.The panic began as festivalgoers began to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other.The dead included eight foreigners，from Australia，Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain.More than 340 people were injured.After the panic，a lot of emergency vehicles，including helicopters，could be seen parked on the highway leading to the festival site，carrying away the injured people.The festival itself，however，went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.“The event was a real mess，”Patrick Guenter，a 22yearold baker，said.“Although the festival was full，they kept letting people in，” he added.“It seems the organisers didnt plan the route.The road was very narrow，and no one knew what was going on.”said Taggart BowenGaddy,20, an American from Philadelphia.Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event，which attracted up to 1.4 million people.The authorities had only given organisers permission for 250,000 people to attend.“I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade.The city is too small and narrow for such events.It is a pity that.” German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the Bild.The chief organiser，Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again，“out of respect for the victims and their families”First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall，the Love Parade is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe.It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.61How many Germans were killed in the stampede at“Love Parade 2010 ”？A19. B8. C11. D15.62How did the German Chancellor Angela Merkel feel about the tragedy?AVery disappointed. BAngry and surprised.CVery puzzled. DTouched.63According to Patrick Guenter and Taggart BowenGaddy，_.Athe event was wellorganizedBthe performance was wonderfulCDuisburg was suitable for the Love ParadeDthe organisation was very bad64We can infer that_.ARainer Wendts warning went unnoticedBRainer Wendt was a chief organizer of Love Parade 2010CRainer Wendt is a music loverDDuisburg is a famous holiday destination65We learn from the passage that_.Athe Love Parade has been canceled foreverBthe Love Parade is a very popular sport eventCthe festival was ended shortly after the panicDthe Love Parade has a history of over 30 yearsCEvery people has their own way of saying things, their own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot，especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous songMood Indigoabout the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song：“You arent blue till youve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day.The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations. 66. If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it_.Aa white day Ba black day Ca red dayDa green day67. Suppose a Mr Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink, this means all his children are_.Alucky and wealthy Bgentle and modestCfit and healthy Dcreative and energetic68.

So，a few years ago，I wrote my own textbookCompared to most other public speaking books，mine is half the number of pages，and one-third the priceThat is，$30 instead of $90When I wrote a second edition last year，students only had to buy the 35 new pages. For only $700，they had almost a new book. Now my loose-leaf textbook enjoys great popularity among the studentsMaybe in the future more writers and publishers will try it” 71What did DrJason say about students at college?A.
