17、;m Simone Anderson, a student from Grade 11. I'm sitting in the classroom to write you this letter because I really have something to say about the school lunchtime. I understand that school is meant for learning. It is important to have good reading skills and to be able to solve math problems.

18、 But I think school is also important for another reason. It helps people learn to get along with others.It may seem like lunchtime is not important. After all, I spend most lunchtime just talking with my friends. But this activity is more important than it looks.I am learning how to get along with

19、others. I am learning how to solve problems. I am finding out about new things from people, and realizing my mistakes. I am learning how to stand up for myself. I am learning how to say sorry. These are all important skills to learn. My problem is that the time for lunch and our other breaks keep ge

20、tting shorter. I know this is happening so we can spend more time in class learning. But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime. We are learning people skills. It is important that we have enough time to spend with our friends.I hope that you will consider making our lunchtime l

21、onger. A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit (有益于) everybody.Best wishes,Simone Anderson56. Where did Anderson write this letter?A. At his home. B. In the library.C. In the classroom. D. At his friend's home.57. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Students can learn many

22、 skills at lunchtime. B. What important skills Anderson has learned. C. Kids should make good use of their lunchtime. D. How Anderson gets along with his friends. BIf you were to travel back in time to the tenth century, you probably wouldn't be able to understand a sentence that anyone said to

23、you. They'd be speaking Old English. Talking to a tenth-century Englishman, you'd probably only be able to understand a few words like “a” or “the”. Only about one-sixth of today's English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influences. Gradually Old English

24、 turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote in but still the official language of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucer's lifetime, that English was used at the opening of Parliament (议会) for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was

25、 passed, making English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King Henry IV became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English. English was still a language of low status (地位) especially when it came to writing poetry (诗歌). During the 14th century, the

26、 Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such as The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer prov

27、ed poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French. Of course, the English language has continued to change since Chaucer's day. For example, Shakespeare's English is quite different from Chaucer's. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago, “C U L8

28、R” (see you later) was just a set of letters and numbers, but now most people know what it means! 58. What happened during Chaucer's lifetime? A. Old English began to turn into the Middle English. B. English's status was greatly improved. C. English was used only in Parliament. D. English ki

29、ngs usually spoke English.59. Why was Chaucer so great? A. He first used formal English to write. B. He had a big influence on poets like Dante.C. He was a pioneer in writing English poems. D. He encouraged people to read books in French.60. How is the passage developed? A. By space. B. By compariso

30、n.C. By importance.D. By time.CWithout doubt, more and more schoolwork and homework are done online. It might be searching on the Internet for a class project or completing an online lesson. Students spend a lot of their learning time in front of a computer.But, not all students have computers at ho

31、me, which may not be a bad thing. New research shows that there is not much difference in the performance of students who have computers at home and those who do not. Whats more, those with computers at home are often distracted (分心) by them. So some parents often wonder: Do the disadvantages of hav

32、ing children use a computer at home outweigh the advantages?Researchers Fairlie and Robinson once divided students in grade six in a California school into two groups. One group received free computers and discounted Internet services while the other group got nothing. They found that the children w

33、ho got free computers didnt do better academically. It seemed that having a computer at home was a distraction. Children with computers at home were reported to spend a lot more time playing video games and hanging out on social networking websites. On average, they spent about 2.5 more hours a week

34、 in front of a computer compared with the students without computers at home. However, only 40 minutes of that extra time was spent on homework. On the other hand, the children without computers at home could go to the library or use the computers at school. Their activities were probably more close

35、ly monitored in these places.But another researcher, Ariel Kalil, found that home computers made children more social online and in real life. Children who received a free computer communicated with more friends than the students without computers. They also spent more time hanging out with their fr

36、iends in person.But, where were students getting all this extra time? It could be that students were spending less time sleeping, eating or exercising. It could also be that having a computer at home saved students time. For example, they did not have to go from school to a computer lab and then to

37、their houses.Whether having computers at home improve students performance at school or not, not having a computer today is probably difficult. As one teacher said, “We cant hold back our use of technology in the classroom or at home because we have to prepare our children for the world that is wait

38、ing for them.”61. What can we learn from the passage?A. Students were monitored when they used computers at home.B. Most parents believed their children should have a computer at home.C. Some students involved in Fairlie and Robinsons research got a free computer.D. Students with computers at home s

39、pent 2.5 hours playing games every week.62. Ariel Kalil thinks that _.A. having computers at home can improve students sociabilityB. computers at home have nothing to do with students studiesC. students with computers at home spend less time sleepingD. students with more friends spend more time onli

Students with computers at home dont perform better at school.B. Using computers to do homework has become a fashion.C. Parents

41、 should teach students to use computers properly.D. Students spend more time playing video games nowadays.DOn 12th July I had a journey planned that I could hardly believe was beginning. I would leave my familiar surroundings and people to volunteer in rural Northern India doing a job I had little e

42、xperience in with people I had never met.After waving goodbye to my tearful mother and my father who looked at me worriedly and then gave me an encouraging smile, I was a mixed bag of excitement and nerves. All these thoughts running through my head led to a long and sleepless overnight flight. Proj

43、ect work began immediately because there was a class sitting in front of me waiting for someone to give them new knowledge. I had to teach them. I had to prepare lessons and, finally, improve their English language. The pressure (压力) was overwhelming (无法抵抗的), but with all their big brown eyes lookin

44、g at me and faces hungry for knowledge, I realized I had to put myself into this project.I got into my routine (日常事务) fairly quickly. In the morning, I walked 10 minutes up the side of a mountain to reach a local familys home. The classroom was one of their bedrooms. The age range of the class was 5

45、 to 17 and so naturally, the English levels varied dramatically. As I had expected, I was indeed overwhelmed with the limited living conditions, but these children were so happy and greeted me with bright smiles and a “hello maam, how are you?” every time upon my arrival. Soon I was cutting up flash

46、cards, photocopying work sheets and making up games to help with learning. This continued for weeks and I could see their general English conversation improving. I felt so proud of them and myself.When not in lessons, I spent my time preparing lessons, learning to cook or taking part in our regular

47、yoga lessons. My volunteer partners soon became my friends. It was as if I had known them all my life. They told me about the places that they had been to. I was so inspired and was beginning to get the itch (渴望) to travel.In my last week of the project I planned a few art lessons. After giving out

48、many presents pencil cases which were filled with candies and seeing them opening the cases with excitement, I had to say goodbye. I felt such a strange sort of attachment (不舍) to these children. Even though they had seen hundreds of volunteers come and go, somehow I felt their sincerity when I rece

49、ived hugs and heard them say “thank you very much maam, I will miss you.” I cried the whole way back that day. I was going back home while these people would continue to live here day by day getting by depending on charity.65. What did the authors father feel about her journey to India?A. Worried bu

A study has found that self-awarenes

54、s is a common quality of successful leaders and that high self-awareness leads to improved team performance. Whats more, self-awareness allows us to see our weak points and once we know what they are, we can then act accordingly (相应地) to deal with them. As a result, people with high self-awareness a
