The best children"s books are very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the who hears the story and the adult who it. Unfortunately, there are in fact books like this, the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as of children"s literature were in fact written for . “Alice"s Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most of this.
Children, left for themselves, often the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or and he will more willingly choose the books in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children"s comics ( 连环画 ), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents .
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the books. So I suppose we"ll just have to compromise（妥协） over that bedtime story.

解析
试题分析：大多数家长都曾经有过给孩子们睡觉前讲故事的经历，并且都意识到选一本适合孩子的书是多么的不容易，儿童读物的作者要么立意过高，超过了孩子们的理解范围，要么只适合读者阅读。在本文中作者就儿童读物问题进行了详细的阐述。
小题1:B动词辨析。A.希望；B. 意识到；C. 告诉；D. 说。根据空后内容how difficult it is to write a 37 children"s book. 可以判断这是父母在给孩子讲故事时的想法，故答案选B。
小题2:D形容词辨析。A.短；B. 长；C. 坏；D.好。父母给孩子讲故事时会有所选择，所以才会意识到找一本适合给孩子讲的好书是很难的，答案选D。
小题3:C形容词辨析。A. 容易；B. 矮； C. 高；D. 困难。根据后面的结果状语从句so that the children can"t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,可以判断有的故事立意太高，超出了孩子们的理解能力，aim high“向高处瞄准，志向高远”，故答案选C。
小题4:C连词辨析。A. 和；B. 但是；C. 或者；D. 所以。由前句内容Either the author has aimed ….可知与后面内容是选择关系，短语either…or“要么……要么，或者……或者”，答案选C。
小题5:B副词辨析。A. 两者都；B. 也不；C. 也；D. 很。根据上文内容可知好的故事书应该适合孩子的年龄和心理特点，再由空后内容very difficult nor very simple可知此处是短语neither….nor “既不……也不”，答案选B。
小题6:A名词辨析。A. 孩子；B.父亲；C. 母亲；D.老师。根据后面的定语从句who hears the story可知此处指听故事的孩子，答案选A。
小题7:D动词辨析。A.听见；B. 买；C. 理解；D. 读。本文讲的是成年人给孩子讲故事，所以修饰the adult的定语从句应该指给孩子讲故事的成年人，答案选D。
小题8:A不定代词辨析。A. 几乎没有；B. 很多；C. 几乎没有； D. 很多 。根据上文内容可知作者认为找一本适合给孩子们讲的故事书不容易，再根据Unfortunately可知此处用否定词，few修饰可数名词，little修饰不可数名词，答案选A。
小题9:C连词辨析。A.但是；B. 然而；C. 所以；D. 因为。从前后句内容可知很少有适合儿童读的故事书，这和下文提出解决这个问题难构成因果关系，答案选C。

核心考点
试题【Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to t】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The system, called driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%--40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue（疲劳）.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
小题1:How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
| A．By sounding a warning. |
| B．By touching the wristband. |
| C．By checking the driving time. |
| D．By pressing the steering wheel. |
| A．about 400 milliseconds | B．below 500 milliseconds |
| C．over 500 milliseconds | D．about 4 minutes |
| A．moves more regularly |
| B．stops working properly |
| C．opens the window for the driver |
| D．sounds more frequently and loudly |
| A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents |
| B．has gone through testing at laboratories |
| C．aims to prevent drivers from sleeping |
| D．has been on sale for 12 months |
Nanotechnology gets its name from the nanometer, which is a billionth of a meter. There are about 600 consumer products already on the market that use nanotechnology. Nanomedicine is also being developed to fight cancer and other fatal diseases.
The Royal Commission found no evidence of harm to health or the environment from nanomaterials, but this “absence of evidence” is not being taken as “evidence of absence”. In other words, just because there are no apparent problems, this is not to say that here is no risk now or in the future. The commission is concerned about the pace at which we are inventing and adopting new nanomaterials, which could result in future problems that we are ill-equipped to understand or even find with current testing methods.
One of the problems about nanotechnology is that when we make something very small out of a well known material, we may actually change the functionality of that material even if the chemical composition remains the same. Indeed, it is not the particle（颗粒）size that should concern us, but its functionality. Take gold, for example, which is a famously inert (惰性) substance, and valuable because of it. It doesn’t rust or corrode because it doesn’t interact with water or oxygen. However, a particle of gold that is between 2 and 5 nanometers in diameter becomes highly reactive. This is not due to a change in chemical composition, but because of a change in the physical size of the gold particles. How can a change in size result in a change of function? One reason is to do with surface area. Nanoparticles have relatively a much bigger surface area. It is like comparing the surface area of a basketball with the total surface area of many pea-sized balls with the same weight of the single basketball. The pea-sized balls have a surface area many hundreds, indeed thousands of times bigger than the basketball, and this allows them to interact more easily with the environment. It is this increased interactivity that changes their functionality—and makes them potentially more dangerous to health or the environment.
小题1:Why does the writer mention microtechnology in the first paragraph?
| A．to introduce the topic of nanotechnology |
| B．to help us better understand nanotechnology |
| C．to help us know more about microtechnology |
| D．to compare microtechnology with nanotechnology |
| A．gold is valuable because it is an inert substance |
| B．an inert substance like gold doesn’t interact with water or oxygen |
| C．the function of gold is steady because it is an inert substance |
| D．the function of gold changes when made into something very small |
| A．expand surface area →increase interactivity → change functionality→cause possible dangers |
| B．expand surface area → change functionality → increase interactivity →cause possible dangers |
| C．increase interactivity → expand surface area → change functionality→cause possible dangers |
| D．increase interactivity → change functionality → expand surface area→cause possible dangers |
| A．the introduction of nanotechnology and its wide use |
| B．the present use of nanotechnology and its future |
| C．the potential danger nanotechnology may bring us |
| D．the proposal to stop nanotechnology due to the potential danger |
The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools, universities and even people’s homes. It could also be an existing kitchen. The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University. The kitchen could be available for schools and universities, and for the UK market by the June of 2014.
The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market. And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages, including English Italian and Spanish. Finally, versions could be developed for any language cuisine（烹饪法）in the world.
Professor Paul says, “By international standards, the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages—a problem that certainly has an economic influence. We believe that developing skills in a country’s language and its cuisine will help change the trend.”
On a computer fixed into the kitchen, the user first selects the French recipe（菜谱）they want to follow. Digital sensors built into dishes, containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time, the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction, or translate it into English, simply by pressing the touch screen. After cooking, the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer.
All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency（熟练）in understanding French.
Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared. They’re to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais, a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.
小题1:The new kitchen is designed mainly to __________.
| A．increase people’s interest in cooking |
| B．teach people how to cook French dishes |
| C．offer people a new way to learn languages |
| D．help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen |
| A．It has versions in six languages now. |
| B．It is already available for sale in the UK. |
| C．It has received strong support from the EU. |
| D．It can be used only in schools and university. |
| A．it will give him a test on his cooking skills |
| B．it can translate French into another language |
| C．the cooking process will stop if he goes wrong |
| D．he must be careful so as not to make mistakes |
| A．UK students have problems in language learning. |
| B．New technology helps students learning cooking. |
| C．An enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity. |
| D．A Talking Kitchen That Teaches You French. |
1．Digital money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we swipe(刷) our bus pass or use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us even seeing it. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money.
You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it"s hard to live without them. People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, according to the Associated Press, and the US might be next.
2．Bionic(能力超人的)eye
It"s no longer something only in a scifi movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data directly to the brain.
Although the bionic eye that"s out now only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a highresolution(高清晰度的) version could be just a few years away.
3．Selfdriving cars
Everything is going automatic these days—washing machines, ticket selling machines and even cars. Unlike a human driver, a selfdriving car won"t get distracted by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself.
Many vehicle companies are now planning selfdriving cars. “By 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road，” said Jeffrey Miller, professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, US, in Wired magazine.
小题1:The underlined word “distracted” in the article is closest in meaning to “________”．
| A．directed | B．discouraged |
| C．attacked | D．disturbed |
| A．optimistic | B．pessimistic |
| C．doubtful | D．cautious |
| A．Learning Kit | B．Campus Trends |
| C．Entertainment | D．Technology |
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn"t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years" time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
