Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed in their pajamas(睡衣) and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer. The Florida high school, the states only on-line school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer. “Im a lot more comfortable at home,” says Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old boy who is taking a computer class on-line. He thinks the schools computer lab is so noisy that he cant study well. “Home is much better,” he says.Students in this first on-line program take classes in Algebra（代数）, American government, chemistry, computer, economics, and Web-page design. They also have to go to a regular school to attend other classes.When a student is ready to begin a class, he or she turns on the computer, reads the teachers instructions, and begins working on the lesson for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the teacher? Or the teacher wants to say something about the work a student is doing? The student and the teacher talk to each other every day through e-mail or he or she calls the teacher. For example, when Luke opened his daily e-mail from the teacher, it contained (包含) her instructions for the days computer lesson. When he finished, he e-mailed the work back to her for grading.Is it easy for students to cheat on tests when theyre working at home? The teachers have already thought about this. They make students take their final exams in person in the classroom.“You see most of the same things on-line that you see in a regular classroom,” says teacher Linda Hayes. “You get to know the students on-line.”If this first on-line program goes well, in three years Florida high school students will be able to take all their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas (毕业证书) without having to set foot in a classroom.8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The students take some of their classes on-line.B. The teacher can correct the students work through e-mail.C. The students have to go to their classrooms to take final exams.D. The teacher can know the students better on-line than in a classroom.9. What does the underlined phrase “in person” mean according to the passage?A. themselves B. on-line C. by others D. through e-mails10. What might happen in three years in Florida?A. Students can take some of their classes on-line.B. Computers will be widely used by students at school.C. Students will be able to finish their high school education at home.D. Students sometimes have to go to their classrooms to get their diplomas.11. Whats the passage mainly about?A. Its helpful to talk to the teacher through e-mail every day.B. Its possible for the students to take classes by computer.C. Its more comfortable to study at home than at school.D. Its easy for the students to cheat on tests at home.14、完形填空阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 It happened some years ago on a hot summer day in Florida. A little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake 1 his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his clothes as he went. He2 into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (钝吻鳄) was swimming toward the bank. His mother, in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water and shouted to him as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became 3 and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. But it was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator 4 him, too. From the bank, the mother got hold of the boy by the arms just as the alligator caught his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but she loved her son so much that she wont let go. A farmer happened to 5by, heard her cries, 6from his car and shot the alligator. 7, after weeks in the hospital, the boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal, and on his arms, were deep scratches（抓痕）where his mothers fingernails dug into his flesh（肉）in her effort（努力）to 8 him. A newspaper reporter interviewed the boy after the accident. Asked 9 he would show him his scars, the boy lifted his trouser-legs. And then, with obvious10, he said to the reporter, “But look at the scars on my arms. I have them because my mom wouldnt let go.” We also have scars, not from an alligator, or anything quite so dramatic, but the scars of a / an 11 past. Some of the scars have caused us great sadness, but some have shown us how much people love us because 12 refuse to let go. During our struggle, they have been there holding on to us and their love is greatly appreciated (感激). 1. A. behindB. far away fromC. between D. in front of 2. A. walkedB. flew C. ran D. swam 3.

Every NBA superstar was successful because of one thing: his skill at shooting.Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Allen Iverson, Larry Bird, Lebron James, and every other great player, are all great shooters. Surely they have great athletic skills, but so do a lot of other guys. However, their skills at putting the ball in the basket are what makes them different from others.Being able to shoot a basketball is almost a license(许可证) to becoming super successful and having lots of fun playing basketball. If you want to become a better basketball player, practice your shooting. Learn how to shoot the ball correctly. Learn how to catch and release the ball. Learn by watching the professionals and learning from coaches. I promise it will be the most important basketball skill you ever learn!Practicing only 20 minutes every day will help you more than spending two hours once a week. With consistency(连贯性), familiarity will start to develop. What you worked on yesterday will come easier tomorrow and even easier the day after that. When there is a large space between practice times or workout sessions, it is much more difficult to pick up where you left off. You often have to re-learn what you already know. This wastes valuable time, when you could be making progress. Remember that a little bit of practice today, makes success not too far away!9. Lebron James became a good basketball player because _.A. he trains hard B. he is very strongC. his skills at shooting are excellent D. he plays in the NBA team10. The writer advises the basketball player to practise _.A. runningB. shooting C. fighting D. getting along well with others11. The writer thinks its better for players to _.A. practice every day B. practice once a weekC. practice from morning to nightD. practice when they want to12.

For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it. ”“Why pick on my family? ” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes? ” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners. ” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now, ” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank into a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessicas put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. ” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy, ” she thought.7.

People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁症); those who worry a lot have anxiety.But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didnt accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment. How to tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (强度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反应) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger dont disappear over time.Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages peoples lives. “It interferes (干扰) with peoples relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,” says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds. Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someones level of competence (竞争) whether on the job or as a parent or partner helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings. 12. A person who _ most possibly has disordered anger in the experts opinion?A. cant get out of anger quicklyB. is dissatisfied with relationshipsC. has high blood pressureD. is worried about his job13. What does the underlined word Consequences mean?A. Responses. B. Effects. C. Reasons. D. Feelings. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Anger is an secondary emotion that makes people sad and stressed.B. Anger was recognized as an illness by most doctors in the pas
