9、ls, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most
10、 important element of education-the human connectionhas not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about t
11、heir families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we tall about Shakespeare and persuasive essays, but we also discuss college basketball and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family
12、 vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the vital link between teacher and student that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace.A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he w
13、as a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply : “doesnt matter because Im quitting school anyway.“ Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I
14、 knew he needed to hear my protests and my “value of a high school education“ lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me because I understood his family problems and he knew that I believed in him. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally gra
15、duate because we kept telling him to hang in there. Wed cared about him finishing school.Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational processthe human one.（分数：10.00）(1).The first para
16、graph mainly discusses_.（分数：2.00）A.the variety of modern teaching methodsB.the importance of teacher-parent relationshipsC.the importance of online contact with studentsD.the wide use of modern technology in education(2).According to the text the most important element in education is_.（分数：2.00）A.pe

Many do, whether they warn their workers or not. Last monty the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrat
20、or and a married college president in which the administrator wrote of her love for him, and of her use of drugs and alcohol to deal with her unhappiness. Employers, including The New York Times and Dow Chemical, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail.But the fastest-growing area for Interne
21、t spying is the home. SpectorSoft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers. Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners. “In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify m
22、y boyfriends true personality,“ a message on the companys website declares.What can you expect if someone puts SpectorSofts Spector 2.2 on your computer? It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on
23、you can review them later. A new product, SpectorSofts eBlaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities frequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware.SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flour
24、ishing market. WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the “discontented family member“ market has been finding WinWhatWhere. Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude “key-loggers,“ software that records every keystroke typed on a comput
25、er.Isnt all this spying on loved ones a little creepy? Not to SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler. “If youre in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as Im concerned you deserve to be caught,“ he says. Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that i
26、n a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer. But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden. “Our customers demanded it,“ he says.（分数：10.00）(1).From the text we learn that most companies in the U. S._.（分数：2.00）A.for
27、bid their employees to get online at workB.respect the online privacy of their employeesC.reveal the privacy of their employees publiclyD.monitor the online activities of their employees(2).The future of spyware is the most promising when it comes to_.（分数：2.00）A.standardizing individual online patte
28、rnsB.overseeing personal online behaviorsC.diversifying present online patternsD.regulating various online behaviors(3).Form the text we know that SpectorSofts Spector 2.2 works_.（分数：2.00）A.creativelyB.preciselyC.secretlyD.quickly(4).What might WinWhatWhere do in the future?（分数：2.00）A.Purchase small
29、 software companies.B.Turn its attention to at-home net users.C.Follow the keystrokes of computer users.D.Focus its attention on the business circles.(5).WinWhatWhere Investigator is characterized by its ability_.（分数：2.00）A.to cover its whole functioning upB.to monitor exact online behaviorsC.to rev
30、eal its existence on the computerD.to gather every piece of online information七、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Ameri
31、cans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a continuous forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early
32、colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of th
33、e economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree un known in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as a fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; char coal, a component of gunpowder,
34、 and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore With charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American coloni
35、es had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological innovations
36、and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is a common assumption about the for
37、ests in North America during the colonial period?（分数：2.00）A.Their economic value was little known.B.They contained only a few types of trees.C.They covered almost the entire continent.D.They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard.(2).What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period m
38、entioned in the text?（分数：2.00）A.They were more expensive than American houses.B.They were generally built with imported materials.C.They were usually built from materials other than wood.D.They were typically smaller than homes in North America.(3).Why does the author mention gunpowder in Paragraph
39、3 ?（分数：2.00）A.To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare.B.To give an example of a product made from wood consumption.C.To illustrate some negative aspects of some industrial processes.D.To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies.(4).Why was the use of coke
40、 smelting advantageous according to the text?（分数：2.00）A.It led to advances in technology.B.It stimulated the demand for wood.C.It was less expensive than wood smelting.D.It produced a stronger type of iron than charcoal smelting.(5).What does the text mainly discuss?（分数：2.00）A.The roots of the Indus
41、trial Revolution.B.The advantages of using wood in the colonies.C.The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron.D.The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies.八、Part B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Lee Beaty:Your “Health For Life“ articles give excellent advice on simple lifestyle changes to improve hea
42、lth. Whenever possible, I ride my bicycle to work. While I was a student, I also rode to class. We need to educate motorists about sharing the road with cyclists, and create bike lanes to encourage more people to go from point A to point B while getting some exercise, saving fuel and improving the e
43、nvironment.Roberto Anson:You had a fascinating exploration in your “Health For Life“ articles. Technology often makes us give up responsibility for our health. The United States has the best medical technology but unequal access to care. The point is that, increasingly, only the healthy and well-off
44、 can afford health care. Your advice to skip the heart scan and spend the money on a health club membership shifts the focus from technology to personal responsibility.Fred Leeds:Dr. Nancy Rigottis “Kicking the Habit“is tried, but not necessarily true advice. As a former three-pack-a-day smoker, I t
45、ried these approaches many times with no success until I finally accepted a fundamental truth about myself. Only after I got my mind set to the point where my de sire to quit smoking was stronger than the desire to continue was I able to put the cigarettes down.Bill Wittig:It is well documented that
46、 people with the Type D personality have chemicals in their brains that differ from those of normal people. Many of them never get mental health treatment because they work, have families and by all observable criteria are functioning well. They do not realize their problem. What might prevent the T
47、ype D personality from having a heart attack is some psy chological treatment as well as fish oil. Kristin Linklater:Your magazine tells me that not only must I exercise to avoid heart attacks, but I must be hap py. I must laugh a lot, or my heart will be starved of necessary chemicals. I must have
48、friends and community to support me, or Ill certainly die soon. I tried to take the Type D personality test that will determine whether Im going to die of negativity, but your column headings, “False, Less false, Neutral, Less true, True,“ make it impossible to figure out my behavior. Now match the
49、name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements A You can hardly force yourself to do a thing until you feel like doing it. B Mental health treatment may help prevent some physical problems. C Wed better count more on regular exercise than medical care. D Im not interested in taking any behavior test proposed in magazines. E Cycling is good for health as well as for our surroundings. F To save money and improve health, I quit driving to wor
