Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”

解析
试题分析:本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。窗体顶端
小题1:第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes). 就是他们的决定,即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人,给他们以关爱。答案选C。
小题2:根据第3段中的 woman所说的话:…for the first time I feel respected(尊重). 我们可以推断出:乞丐们有太长的时间没人关心了。故答案为B。
小题3:在第6段中有这样一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B选项中Amazed 的同义表达就是surprised,所以答案为B。
小题4:本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。这些流浪汉和乞丐们都感到十分的意外和温暖,我们由此可推断他们应该是长期given no enough care(被忽视的)原因。这样我们就可以排除A、B、C三项,最后正确答案为D。

举一反三
Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.deduring the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.
The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.
The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying(威吓) their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.
“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.
小题1:Many teachers are opposed to the website because_____.
A.their privacy has been violated | B.they are afraid of being assessed |
C.their evaluations are unfair | D.the results are not satisfying |
A.get the students to know their teachers better |
B.conduct a survey on teachers’ performance |
C.help the teachers to improve their teaching |
D.change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions |
A.he intended to help his colleague |
B.there was some disadvantage of the website |
C.his colleagues were more popular than him |
D.he wanted to know how he was evaluated |
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance(增强)the moral and emotional development of my students.
One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation(法规), or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence(雄辩)and command of the language.
小题1:What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage students to keep a journal every day. |
B.To analyze students’ problems in learning languages. |
C.To stress the importance of writing in language learning. |
D.To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing. |
A.writing opportunity | B.large house |
C.large vocabulary | D.emotional life |
A.It is beneficial to students’ future career. |
B.It can make students more emotional. |
C.It is helpful to students’ homework. |
D.It can enlarge students’ vocabulary. |
There’s a catch, of course: You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all.
Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere.
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.
Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication (迹象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
小题1:The underlined part “a catch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “_____”.
A.a rare challenge | B.a desirable plan | C.an efficient device | D.a hidden problem |
A.Internet connection has not been popular in most cities. |
B.Internet service providers care about rural(农村的)customers. |
C.Computer is popular in developing countries. |
D.It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas. |
A.make TV and telephone available everywhere |
B.bring great change to people’s everyday life |
C.make it possible for more people to use the Internet |
D.bring faster Internet connections to users |
A.The broadband connection’s getting faster. |
B.More and more Internet users. |
C.more and more Internet connections. |
D.The rapid progress in cell phone technology. |
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s (早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (***) are protecting the brain, including estrogen (雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”
小题1:How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A.Some researchers have told them. |
B.Many women say so. |
C.They know it by experimenting on rats. |
D.They know it through their own experience. |
A.Baby rats. | B.Animals. | C.Old rats. | D.Grown-up rats. |
A.Estrogen. | B.The hormones of pregnancy. |
C.More exercise. | D.Taking care of children. |
A.The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans. |
B.The experiments on the rats are very important for animals. |
C.The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans. |
D.The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals. |
What does a computer virus do? It targets electronic objects that are programmed. The virus spreads through connections between these electronic objects. For virus spreading experts, e-mail is a favorite method of sending their destructive (破坏性的) weapon.
But scientists warn that this is not the worst that can happen. There is more. People are also connected through phones. The next virus may actually target mobile phones, especially those that are programmed to do many tasks apart from just communicating. It would then be easy for a virus to infect those programs and create major disorder.
For example, these virus may have the power to record your phone conversations and make others hear them. They create problems with your electronic money accounts, or they could create a mountain of telephone bills for calls you never made. And that would be a disaster. A report on this was published in the New Scientist recently.
One way out would be to have simpler phones with not so many different functions. This would mean there would mean there would be fewer programs for the virus to attack. But mobile phone producers are in a fix. People on longer want an electronic item to perform just one task. They want more and more functions added. That would mean more software programs to make the mobile phone perform all those functions. And that means the possibility of more viruses.
小题1:It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.computer viruses are not so as destructive as mobile phone viruses |
B.people should be careful when receiving e-mails |
C.people find it difficult to use electronic equipment correctly |
D.having electronic money accounts brings people a lot of convenience |
A.You can’t hear the person who answers the phone clearly |
B.You can’t send e-mails with your mobile phone |
C.your phone bill increases for unknown reasons |
D.You can hear other people’s phone conversations |
A.Mobile phone producers have made no progress. |
B.Mobile phone producers are proud of their products. |
C.Mobile phone producers are faced with a difficult situation. |
D.Mobile phone producers refused to fight against virus. |
A.Government officials | B.Virus spreading experts |
C.Electronic scientists | D.Mobile phone users |
