Classes began very early and ended when it was dark. Students didnt rest on the weekends. They had classes seven days a week, so they didnt have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned to read and write, they used to study Greek poems and historical works. Music was very important, and physical training was also important. Teachers used to hit students who didnt pay attention or were lazy. Girls stayed at home with their mothers and learned how to do housework in the home.In ancient Rome, boys and girls from wealthy families received a bilingual (双语) education. They had to study Greek and Latin. Students usually had classes outside, if the weather was good, or in the teachers house. Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. Thats how “high school” got its name.Education was very important to the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school, but they were kept in different classes. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals, but they memorized (记住) everything because there werent any textbooks. The boys received intensive military training, and the girls learned how to manage the home and the family. There were two kinds of schools: one for children of rich families and another for children of ordinary families. 74.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）:（12分）At the beginning of the twentieth century, traffic in big cities such as New York and London became very busy. Carriages, horses, and bikes rushed in every direction (方向), and then they were 80 by the newest toy of the rich people, the “automobiles (汽车).” In those days, crossing a street used to be a real challenge for people walking. There were no 81 for drivers. The New York Police Department had to create a special group of policemen to control traffic. Police officers stood at crossroads and tried to direct the traffic, but very often they were run over by vehicles (车辆). By 1912, New York City had 38,000 motor vehicles. 82 had to be done about all the traffic on the streets!In 1916, the first traffic tower was 83 in New York, at the crossroads of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. A traffic officer controlled three 500-watt lamps. They were 40 centimeters in diameter, and they were red, yellow, and green. However, at the time, red 84 traffic in all directions had to stop, yellow stopped only east-west traffic, and green stopped only north-south traffic. This was very confusing, so in 1924 the city adopted (采用) the system used in railroads: red for stop, green for go, and yellow for slow. This system became standard all over the world.The first automatic traffic lights came into use in Wolverhampton, England, in 1927. Today computers control traffic lights, and road conditions are much better than they used to be. The only 85 is when there is a power cut. The result is often confusion on the streets because the traffic lights dont work. 80.A) joinedB) seenC) playedD) built81.A) roadsB) rulesC) jobsD) seats82.A) NothingB) EverythingC) AnythingD) Something83.A) put offB) put outC) put upD) put on84.A) stoppedB) controlledC) madeD) meant85.A) chance B) problemC) answerD) advantageC.

It is important to remember that online education is not right for everyone.On your timeOne of the b 86 advantages of online classes is that you are able to enter your classroom when it is convenient for you. Do you work all day? Then you can log on (登录) to your class in the evening or at the weekend. Are you an early riser? You can log on to your class in the early morningh 87 . Your virtual (虚拟的) classroom is open around the clock, seven days a week.The teachers lectureIn an online classroom your teachers lecture is written rather than s 88 . There are several advantages. The online classroom is completely different from the real one. If you cant remember what your teacher said, all you have to do is to reread his or her lecture. In most cases you will be able to get a copy of the lecture. You will be able to review your teachers lecture w 89 even getting online again.Students interactionOnline students may find it d 90 to talk with each other face to face. T 91 discussion forums (论坛) and chat rooms provide some ways for student interaction, they do not provide the social connection of an on-campus class. We have to say, the disadvantages to be an online student are clear. For example, the teachers cant help you face to face. They wont praise your work orally (口头).An advantage is the fact that some students are shy. They are more willing to speak out their ideas on the discussion forum and are usually more l 92 to ask their teacher a question by email. They will feel more comfortable with this online interaction.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:（12分）Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city.
