Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.29.What does the expression“at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. According to their own timetable. B. Without their teachers help.C. Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents hope.30. From the passage we can learn that_.A. students with iPads have less discussion in classB. students get more fun from learning with iPadsC. iPads help students save time waiting for busesD. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams31. The writer probably agrees that_.A. teachers can take control of students learningB. exam results depend a lot on now technologyC. technology in education has a bright futureD. note-taking is as helpful as video-watchingDOn March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Annes face, clothing and bag.Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Annes case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helens sometimes wild behaviour. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helens books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helens side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled peoples rights until her death on Jun 1, 1968.32. How did Anne come to work at the Kellers home?A. She replied to a job advertisement. B. She was introduced by her family friend.C. she was recommended by her university professor. D. She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.33. What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?A. How intelligent Helen was. B. Helen gave Anne a gift.C. The way Helens parents treated her. D. How forceful（有力的）Helen was.34. Which of the following is NOT true about Helens university studies?A. She was the best student in her class. B. She was able to graduate in three years.C. She was greatly helped by Anne D. She was the first deaf and blind university graduate.35. According to the passage, both Anne and Helen_.A. died in their 60s B. were well educated C. came from rich families D. fought for human rights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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to beat back the homesick bluesWhether you miss your family, your best friend, your bed or your favorite restaurant, homesickness is common for those attending school far from home, no matter what your age. _36_.
