24、Jessica Westervelt,a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York,created an activity called “House Hunters”,which was inspired by the popular television show “House Hunters International”,for her Spanish class about four years ago.Similar to the show,students work in groups,pretending to be

25、 real house agents,and look for three houses in Spanish-speaking countries.She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home,chores,travel and vacation.She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students interests into the curriculum.At the time,a group of her student

27、y that fits the requirements.The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find.Each group presents their findings to the class,while the other students take notes.The entire activity is done in Spanish,so students get to practice their writing,listening and conversation skills.They

28、also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries.Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.Westervelt says,“I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school,it

32、h of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during t

33、heir lives the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist（经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the gove

34、rnment repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available, In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to

35、 pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are cau

36、sing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace substitution of machines for humans has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs, Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how

37、 frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise, There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the stor

38、y. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher re

39、al incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those w

40、ith higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce peoples fears.1、What is the function of the second paragraph?ATo explain the importance of developing new technology.BTo g

41、ive historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.CTo argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.DTo show how technology affected employment in the past.2、How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?AConfusing BReliableCStable DVariable3、Acco

43、age consumption.4、What is the authors opinion about the introduction of new technology?AIt does not have an effect on most peoples jobs.BIts danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.CIt usually leads to a significant increase in employment.DIts benefits are usually not worth the intr

44、oduction.25（10分）JOHANNESBURGThey say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made

We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick,
