15、r less D. slowly 三、 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分) A This is a story that happened in Europe in the 17th century. Tulips ( 郁 金 香 ) were introduced into Holland before the 17th century but it did not take long for the flowers to gain popularity among the upper classes. Flowers of such beauty soon beca

16、me symbols of power and the rich tried their best to lay their hands on some to display them in their gardens. When more people learned of the prices that the rich were willing to pay for tulips, they knew they just found a “get-rich-quick” gold mine. By 1634, the whole country was so attracted by t

17、ulips that all other activities almost came to a stop. People were trading in tulips and even buying and selling bulbs (球茎). At that time, one rare bulb cost as much as ten tons of cheese. Many made a fortune in the beginning. As the prices moved in one direction, they only needed to buy low and sel

18、l high, buy high and sell higher. After the gains, confidence rose and many sold away all their property in order to invest more money in tulips, hoping to make more money. The desire was so strong that those who were watching also rushed to the tulip market. Everyone thought that the high demand fo

19、r tulips would continue forever and prices could only go up because more and more people from all over the world would start to like tulips. When the price of tulips was much higher than it should be, few people bought them for planting in their gardens. The real demand for the flowers seemed greate

20、r than it really was. Many people were buying them for speculation (投机), not appreciation. In 1637, for some unknown reasons, a group of people suddenly realised the danger. The prices of tulips began to fall and the market crashed. When confidence was destroyed, it could not be recovered and prices

21、 kept falling. Soon the nobles and the rich became poor. Cries of suffering were heard everywhere in Holland. 31. Why did the upper classes buy tulips in the beginning? A.

24、ecently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be

25、 far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging was increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and ca

26、rdboard. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses en

27、ergy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic

28、bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, wh

46、eporter with British newspaper the Guardian. The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there.

51、 traditional classroom structure, with students all working on the same lesson, is really suited to different learning styles. Twelve-year-old Yuval Kagan looks like hes ready to work at a call center. Hes among 10 students sitting at a long table covered with laptop computers, talking into their he

52、adphones. “Yes,” he says, looking at his computer screen. Yuval is talking to a math teacher. If he has a question, he hits a button called “raise your hand” and the teacher speaks to him. Yuval says he enjoys this form of teaching. “In a lesson with a class, the teacher always has to tell other stu

53、dents to stop talking, but here you can have one-on-one teaching.” That personalized approach is what makes School of One different. Its an after-school math program taking place here at I.S. 228 and two other middle schools. Kids spend part of their time working with online teachers. But teachers c

54、an also set instruction in small groups, where a teacher explains a special math problem. And sometimes they work together, as demonstrated by two boys using colourful blocks to figure out a geometry problem. School of One was first piloted last summer with middle scholars in Chinatown. Assessment t

55、ests showed so much progress that the Department of Education expanded the program. Dominick DAngelo, the principal of I.S. 228, says he wanted his sixth graders to take part because the traditional classroom doesnt serve every child. But School of One is what its name suggests. “A student is workin

56、g at his or her own pace,” says DAngelo. “Not with a group of 30 other students. If they dont get it today, they have to work on it again tomorrow. Theyre not left behind because they cant catch up with the class. Its at their own pace.”Chancellor Joel Klein says, “This kind of approachstudents cent

57、ered, not classroom centeredis going to be a part of the future of Education.” But Daniel Willingham, a professor of Psychology says, “Studies have been done trying to prove that some people learn best visually, however, other people learn best aurally (听觉上). They have shown that theres no benefit in meeting the needs of those learning styles.” He adds, “Its not clear whether considering different styles of learning makes a real difference.” The city has
