We know schools now are almost all connected to the Internet. But some have more technology，and use it more，than others. For example，some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing (会议) to bring the world into the classroom.And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board，a kind of interactive (互动的) whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations. They connect to a computer and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project videos.Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones. But educators say the most important thing，as always，is the content (内容，容量).Yet technology can have special importance in some cases. Cosmobot is a therapy (治疗) robot. It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.One child who works with it is six-year-old Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia；he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.He works with Carole SemangoSprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therapy for his condition. Here，he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles. Kevins mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed by AnthroTronix. Corinna Lathan started the company more than ten years ago to work with children with developmental disabilities. Children become friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions. Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially helpful robots. She says they are still considered research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that.24. We can learn from the passage that _A. most schools dont use new technology in teaching nowB. the Internet is now widely used in schoolsC. the Internet is as important as textbooks in schools nowD. video conferencing will become widespread in the world soon25. What do we know about the Smart Board?A. It is so expensive that most schools cant afford it.B. It is mainly used to project videos in the classroom.C. It can be operated by touch to display documents.D. It can work as long as it is connected to electricity.26. The underlined word “dyspraxia” in Paragraph 5 refers to“_”A. language barrier B. loss of memoryC. visual damage D. movement disorder27. According to the passage, the Cosmobot _A. is designed for children to play withB. is costly and not user-friendlyC. has cured many children nowD. has gained the trust of Kevins mother【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D【解析】试题分析：本文主要讲述美国的科技应用的情况，学校几乎都连接了互联网，一些学校使用电脑进行视频会议，将整个世界带到课堂，一些教师使用iPod和手机等设备教学来尝试创新的方法。文章还讲述了技术起到非常特殊的作用，像治疗机器人Cosmobot。24. 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句The Internet is playing a more and more important role in schools and other cases. We know schools now are almost all connected to the Internet.可知，现在，学校几乎都连接了互联网，互联网现在在学校里被广泛使用。故选B。25. 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句They connect to a computer and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project videos.可知，Smart Board与电脑相连接，可以通过触摸来操作，可以用于文件或书写或播放视频。故选C.26. 词句猜测题。根据下文he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue可知，Kevin有运动口和舌有一定的困难，因此推断Kevin患有发育性运动障碍。故画线词dyspraxia指的是：运动障碍。故选D。27. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句Kevins mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.可知，Kevin的妈妈认为这种机器人有镇定作用，帮助她的儿子与朋友更好地相处。因此推断Cosmobot机器人赢得了Kevin的母亲的信任。故选D。【名师点睛】.CWith December 25 approaching, all the shops always have good ideas to promote their products. Broadcasting songs all the time is among them. Endless playing of songs like All I Want for Christmas Is You in shops during the festive season doesnt just drive us mad the songs also make us more careless with our money, the research has warned.While the repeated performance of Jingle Bells may seem like an innocent attempt to raise customers spirits during the nightmare of Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more delicate impact.“Background music or Muzak can be used by marketers to impose（施加影响）cultures such as the commercialization of Christmas onto consumers and influence their behavior,” experts said.Dr Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of London, said，“Festive jingles are forcefed to Christmas shoppers to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control their shopping habits in a way that they might hardly be aware of.”“Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.”Dr Bradshaw and Professor Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to control their behavior.It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore they spend more time examining the shelves, for example.Some providers of background music have been known to promote their services by claiming they can boost（增加，宣传）profits by controlling the behavior of customers.“A common trick is to take a popular current song and record an instrumental version which can be slowed down or sped up at different time of the day to influence behavior in different ways,” Dr Bradshaw said.Background music is often classed as “Muzak” in honour of the Seattlebased company which began producing its softsounding melodies in the 1930s.28. According to Dr Bradshaw, in what ways does Christmas music influence customers?their mood their incometheir sense of time the sort of products they buyA. B. C. D. 29. Shopkeepers slow down the rhythm of music in shops to _A. help customers find what they really wantB. make customers and sales assistants relaxedC. let customers enjoy the beautiful musicD. let customers spend more time shopping30. What kind of music is now often adapted to influence customers in shops?A. Classical music. B. Folk songs.C. Popular modern songs. D. Jazz music.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Christmas music makes us spend moreB. Christmas “Muzak”C. How to make Christmas musicD. Music makes happy Christmas【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A【解析】试题分析：文章介绍了一项研究发现，商店里面播放的圣诞音乐可以影响人们的情绪，对时间的感觉和他们买的东西的种类。如果店主放慢音乐的节奏可以让顾客花更多时间购物，最终的目的是让顾客多花钱。28. 细节题：从文章第四段的句子：Festive jingles are force-fed to Christmas shoppers in a bid to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy.可知Dr. Bradshaw认为圣诞音乐会影响人们的情绪，对时间的感觉和他们买的东西的种类。选B29. 细节题：从文章第七段的句子：It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore spend more time examining the shelves, for example.可知店主放慢音乐的节奏是为了让顾客花更多时间购物，选A31. 标题确定题：从第一段的句子： the songs also make us more careless with our money, research has warned. 可知圣诞音乐会让我们花更多的钱，选D。考点：考查社会现象类短文DWhy do so many tourists come to Easter Island? Because it has world-famous stone statues（雕像）. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders (柱状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades（十年）.Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano（火山）using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped (崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors（胜利者）of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.32. What do we know about Easter Island?A. It is a big island of Chile.B. It is located in North Pacific OceanC. Its early inhabitants were PolynesiansD. It was named after a Dutch explorer33. Scientists are still uncertain about _A. why people built the statuesB. how people transported the statuesC. where people made the statuesD. how many statues there are on the island34. What happened in 1680?A. The islanders started a war against outsidersB. Another 15 statues were put upC. People began to worship the statuesD. Many statues were damaged35. The purpose of the text is to _A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuade【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A【解析】本文在告诉人们一些有关Easter Island的事宜。32. D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.可知Easter Island早期的居民是Polynesians。33. C细节理解题。根据第三段中How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.可知科学家们现在仍然不知道雕像是怎样运输的。故选C。34. A细节理解题。根据第四段中In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.在1680年很多雕像被毁。故选A。35. C目的意图题。纵观全文，特别是通过第一段Easter Islands large and mysterious stone statues（雕像） have made it world famous. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders(柱状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world.可知这篇文章在告诉人们一些Easter Island的有关事宜。由此可知答案为C。第二节：七选五（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。Good jobs for SportsIf sports are something that appeals to you, it stands to reason that you would do well in them.
