For the last few years, investors in Chinas coal section have been mining a rich seam(煤层). From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2011, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81%, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy. But as any miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam, the more difficult it is to get value. Chinas coal prices have fallen nearly 10% in the last three months. A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical（周期性的）slowdown brought about by Chinas slowing construction and money tightening, is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices. In 2008, Chinas 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences from a section with 9,000-plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production. Since then, the big have gotten bigger and the small are disappearing. Michael Parker, coal mining analyst at Sanford Bernstein, estimates in 2012 the top 60 miners will account for 80% of output. The assumption has always been that its the very low-cost little mining operations that will go to the wall, pushing prices up. In fact, Mr. Parker argues that its small industrial operations working difficult seams, and with poor access to convey that will be the first to go. The exit of these high-cost means that spot prices will increasingly be set by bigger more efficient producers and that means pressure for prices to stay low. With structural forces against a return to rising coal prices, investors in Chinas black gold should dig a huge stone hit their foot into a hole. 1.

No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their first efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often tied to their childrens success, it can be a painful experience.Figuring out why the fire went out is the first step. Assuming that a kid doesnt suffer from a learning disability, or isnt involved in some family crisis(危机) at home, many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or classmate pressure.“Everything is within the kids control；their intelligence is changeable,”says Lisa Blackwell, a research scientist at Columbia University. More than any teacher or workshop, Blackwell says,“Parents can play a key role in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort and progress rather than emphasizing their “smartness” or praising high performance alone. Most of all, parents should let their kids know that mistakes are a part of learning.”Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids.“These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who arent considered gifted and talented. They destroy their confidence,” says Jeff Howard, a social psychologist. Howard and other educators say its important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities.“The problem of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambition,”says Michael Nakkual, a Harvard education professor. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to free them of the idea that class work is irrelevant, and to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. They need to understand that you have to learn to walk before you can run.72. According to the passage, the parents of kids with no ambition _. A. dont do a very good job on teaching them to walk B. are to blame if the kids do poorly in school C. feel pain because their own ambition is connected to their kids success D. should take part in extracurricular activities with kids73. The underlined part “the fire went out” probably means _. A. the motivation was suddenly lostB. the fear of failure was suddenly gone C. the learning disability was suddenly lostD. the fire was suddenly gone74. All the following can contribute to a sudden lack of ambition EXCEPT _. A. learning disability B. classmate pressure C. emphasis on testing D. extracurricular activities75. What is the most important thing for parents in motivating their kids? A. Punishing kids who dont display ambition. B. Emphasizing smartness and high performance. C. Telling kids that mistakes are a part of learning. D. Praising the effort and progress they have made.【参考答案】7275、CADC【2014高考训练】The reason for going to college has been accepted without question for more than a generation , All high school graduate ought to go , says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become ”better” people , and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont goBut college has never been able to work its magic for everyone, And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious, College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis； college students interfere with each others experiments and writhed false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school, Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out-often encouraged by college administratorsSome observers say the fault is with the young people themselves-they are spoiled and they are expecting too much But thats a criticize of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness, Others blame the state of the world , and they are partly right, Weve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen year-old eitherSome adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school, We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences, Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things-maybe its just the other way around，its just the other way around and intelligent , ambitious happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place, And perhaps all those successful college graduates, would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not, This is heresy(异端邪说)to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better, But contrary evidence is beginning to gradually increase in amount.51What does the author believe according to the passage?

Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people c
