Teachers e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin boards, and take attendance with a quick movement

12、 of a mouse. Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education-the human connection has 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 histor

13、y, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their 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

14、 and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family 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

15、 English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was 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 I

16、m quitting school anyway.“ Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I 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 m

17、y class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate 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

18、 important link in the educational process the human one. 21 The first paragraph mainly discusses_. （ A） the variety of modern teaching methods （ B） the importance of teacher-parent relationships （ C） the importance of online contact with students （ D） the wide use of modern technology in education

19、22 According to the text the most important element in education is_. （ A） personal link （ B） good instruction （ C） advanced technology （ D） interesting discussion 23 According to the text the writer often talks in class about_. （ A） the arrangement of school parties （ B） the future of studentsjob c

20、hoices （ C） the organization of school sports （ D） the planning of family vacations 24 In the third paragraph the writer indicates how human connection_. （ A） encourages students having difficulty （ B） provides evidence of good teaching （ C） affects the use of modern technology （ D） prevents student

21、s from quitting school 25 The writers attitude toward the direct teacher-student relationship is_. （ A） conservative （ B） doubtful （ C） positive （ D） subjective 25 Companies have the legal right to monitor employeese-mail and instant messaging. Many do, whether they warn their workers or not. Last m

22、onty the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrator 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 Chemica

23、l, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail. But the fastest-growing area for Internet 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 rom

24、antic partners. “In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my 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 webs

25、ite and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on 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 u

26、naware. SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing 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

27、 sell relatively crude “key-loggers,“ software that records every keystroke typed on a computer. 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 y

28、ou deserve to be caught,“ he says. Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that in 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,“

29、 he says. 26 From the text we learn that most companies in the U. S._. （ A） forbid their employees to get online at work （ B） respect the online privacy of their employees （ C） reveal the privacy of their employees publicly （ D） monitor the online activities of their employees 27 The future of spywa

33、 one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans 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 fore

34、st was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early 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 a

35、vailability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the 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 impor

36、tant industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; char coal, a component of gunpowder, 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 Br

37、itain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies 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 a

38、nd besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological innovations 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 th

39、em to cling to charcoal iron. 31 Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests in North America during the colonial period? （ 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 on

40、ly along the Atlantic seaboard. 32 What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period mentioned in the text? （ 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

41、were typically smaller than homes in North America. 33 Why does the author mention gunpowder in Paragraph 3 ? （ 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 pr

42、ocesses. （ D） To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies. 34 Why was the use of coke smelting advantageous according to the text? （ A） It led to advances in technology. （ B） It stimulated the demand for wood. （ C） It was less expensive than wood smelting. （ D） It produce

43、d a stronger type of iron than charcoal smelting. 35 What does the text mainly discuss? （ A） The roots of the Industrial 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.

44、art B Directions: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 35 Lee Beaty: Your “Health For Life“ articles give excellent advice on simple lifestyle changes to improve health. Whenever possible, I ride my bicycle to work

45、. 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 environment. Roberto Anson: You had a fascinating

46、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 can afford health care. Your advice to skip th

47、e 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 tried these approaches many times with no succ

48、ess 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 people with the Type D personality have ch

49、emicals 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 Type 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 exe
