The report examined the research on online and traditional classroom teaching from 1996 to 2008. Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the studies were in colleges and adult continuing education programs.
Over the 12 years, the report found 99 studies in which there were comparisons of online and classroom performance for the same courses. The result of the Department of Education’ s research showed that usually, students doing some or all of the course online would rank a little higher than the classroom students with little but meaningful difference.
“The importance of the study lies in showing that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than traditional instruction.” said Barbara Means, the study’ s lead author and an educational psychologist at SRI International.
This hardly means that we’ll be saying goodbye to classrooms. But the report does suggest that online education could be set to develop sharply over the next few years.
Until fairly recently, online education totaled to little. That has really changed with the arrival of webbased video, instant (即时的) messaging and teamwork tools.
The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more suitable for individual (个体的) students than is possible in classrooms. That allows more “learning by doing,” which many students find more attractive and useful.
“We are at a turning point in online education,” said Philip R. Regier, the leader of Arizona State University’ s Online and Extended Campus program.
The biggest near-term growth, Mr. Regier predicts, will be in continuing education programs.

Henry had witnessed war and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes ( 火山爆发).
He had reported on serious accidents such as major fires and airline crashes.
He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.
He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.
In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.
Now he was retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him.
One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla(大猩猩) walked in and asked for a table.
Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant.
The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.
Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.
At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.
Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.
The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly then gave Henry fifty dollars.
“Thank you,” Henry said, and then to make conversation, he added, “we don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”
“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”
小题1:According to the story, Henry had________.

| C．very interested in the gorilla | D．scared of the gorilla |
| A．his staff were not brave people | B．Henry didn’t normally serve customers |
| C．the gorilla had eaten there before | D．the gorilla was careful with his money |
But this system, in which brothers and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic(经济的) changes have had far- reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work, he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent(独立的). This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.
小题1: The best title of this passage is ______.
| A．Husband Actually Visitor in Family |
| B．Family System in South India |
| C．Wife Has Important Position in Family |
| D．Economic Relations Affects Family Relationships |
| A．The mother. | B．The mother’s eldest brother. |
| C．The father. | D．The father’s mother. |
| A．his wife | B．his sons and daughters |
| C．his mother, brothers and sisters | D．his wife’s brother |
| A．no families | B．many more families |
| C．very few families | D．not any families |
Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.
The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.
Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy, even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.
The school’s decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles, explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control. Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change.
小题1:What’s the best title of this passage?
| A．Get up early, teenagers! |
| B．Finally, a school understands teenagers. |
| C．Why do teenagers stay up late? |
| D．Difference between teens and adults. |
| A．grades | B．subject s | C．absence | D．classes |
| A．Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle. |
| B．Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am. |
| C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study. |
| D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason. |
| A．The Monkseaton school is satisfied with the result of experiments. |
| B．It is cruel for the teenagers to show up at 9 am. |
| C．The Monkseaton school plans to change the school time forever. |
| D．Teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon. |
One of the speaking rules you need to know might sound strange to most ESL(English as a second language) students, but it is one of the most important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, then you should try to learn English without studying the grammar.
Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native. Remember that only a small fraction(部分) of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules. Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers. I can confidently say this with experience. I am a native English speaker, majored in English Literature, and have been teac
hing English for more than 10 years. However, many of my students know more details about English grammar than I do. When they sometimes ask me about grammar, I can easily look up the definition(定义) and apply it, but I can’t tell them the answer off the top of my head. I often ask my native English friends some grammar questions, and only a few of them know the correct answer. However, they are fluent in English and can read, speak, listen, and communicate effectively.
Do you want to be able to recite the definition of a causative verb(使役动词), or do you want to be able to speak English fluently?
小题1:According to the author, what opinion do most ESL students hold?
| A．Grammar matters a lot only in speaking. |
| B．Grammar doesn’t matter much in speaking. |
| C．Grammar is not important in English learning. |
| D．Grammar is very important in English learning. |
| A．An ESL student. |
| B．A native English teacher. |
| C．A native English student. |
| D．A teacher teaching English natives. |
| A．without consideration |
| B．on purpose |
| C．after thinking |
| D．with difficulty |
| A．Grammar Counts! |
| B．Fluency or Grammar? |
| C．Exams or No Exams? |
| D．No More Grammar! |
We know the argument: Bad parenting, not co-sleeping, is to blame for the dozens of babies’ deaths. Some parents stick to co-sleeping because it helps them bond with their newborns. They say those who give co-sleeping a bad name either had been drinking, used drugs or were too tired to notice that they rolled over on their children.
But, most of the cases did not involve drugs or alcohol. There’s a “but”
here, however. Submitting to a test for drugs or alcohol in these cases is voluntary, so it’s difficult to know with certainty.Organizations like the Black Health Coalition and others have explained the safe way to co-sleep. While we understand those arguments, we also know that mistakes can hap
pen and that it only takes one time for something to go terribly wrong. The risk outweighs the benefit.In all likelihood, parents will continue to co-sleep, and some will do so without ever having an incident, but babies are too vulnerable(易受伤的) for parents to take such chances. Therefore, the best place for babies to sleep is in their own beds, on their backs, with no pillows, blankets or toys. No parent wants a tragedy(悲剧) to occur. The best way to make sure the tragedy doesn’t happen is to allow babies to sleep alone in their own cribs(摇篮).
小题1:According to the author, most of the SIDS cases happened because of ________.

| A．keep the babies healthy |
| B．give co-sleeping a good name |
| C．prevent themselves from drinking |
| D．develop a good relation with their babies |
| A．parents can sleep with babies, but cautiously |
| B．co-sleep helps to bring babies closer to parents |
| C．parents can’t take chances to sleep with their babies |
| D．accidents only happen to those careless parents |
| A．① | B．①② | C．① | D．① |
