A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Sweden called Sweden Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896.
Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor. He made two important inventions, so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man in large part of his life. Nobel died at the age of sixty-three. When he died, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievement in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and the promotion(促进)of the world peace.
The first Nobel Prize were given on December 10th,1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Many famous people all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Albert Einstein was one of them.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money---about $40，000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It might be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement. In 1972, for example, not a Nobel Prize was given. It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the prize or not.

举一反三
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don"t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don"t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
小题1:According to this passage, .
| A．one can choose his color preference |
| B．one is born with his color preference |
| C．one’s color preference is changeable |
| D．one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly |
| A．one"s color preference shows one"s character |
| B．you can brighten your life with wonderful colors |
| C．psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference |
| D．one"s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings |
| A．yellow | B．red | C．green | D．black |
A 7.0 magnitude（级）earthquake killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Then an 8.8 magnitude quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. 1 It’s not. The problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say.
2 They’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t stand up to earth quakes, scientists believe.
And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all the time.
On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9. So far this year there have been 40 earthquakes—more than in most years for that time period. But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely due to building standards, 3 Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the world’s big cities.
Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit by earthquakes. 4 “If you have a problem feeding yourself, you’re not really going to worry about earthquakes,” said Paul.
The earthquakes made everyone start to think 5 “People are paying attention to the violent planet we’re always lived on. Come back an another six moths if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again,” said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.
| A．But it won’t last. B．More people are moving into big cities. C．Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do. D．There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes. E．Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground. F．While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t. G．But developing nations with growing populations don’t pay attention to earthquake preparedness. |

Some people are pessimistic(悲观的)when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earths resources. We will have made our seas so dirty that we will not be able to eat fish from them. There will be so many people in the world that we will have to use all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.
Other people have a different idea about the future. In their view, the city of the future will be a huge pyramid-shaped(金字塔形的) building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will live there, and there will also be schools, shops in it.
In a hundred years’ time, people will not need to use oil. They will heat their homes with power from the sun.
Think of space. Perhaps a station will be set up on the moon; people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. They may even spend their holidays in space, travelling from planet to planet.
What an interesting picture!
Many people don"t think about the future. “I don"t care. I’ll be dead. ”they say. But it is our duty to care because the world of a hundred years’ time will be the world of our children’s and their children after them.
小题1:How many viewpoints are discussed here about the future?
| A．Two | B．Three | C．Four | D．Five |
| A．have to use power from the sea |
| B．have to live on the moon |
| C．be able to grow food on the sea |
| D．find it difficult to live on the earth |
| A．On the moon | B．On the sea | C．In pyramids | D．On other planets |
| A．with those who look at the bright side of the future |
| B．with those who take a pessimistic view about the future |
| C．with those who won’t trouble their heads about the future |
| D．to none of these viewpoints |
Enter a typical high school, and the first thing you see is the front office， where the principal dwells and grades are stored. The front office also reinforces familiar hierarchy(等级制度): principal at the top, teachers in the middle, kids on the bottom, sitting with hands folded at their desks.
Now, imagine a school where the organizational structure is completely flat. At the New Country School in Henderson, Minn, there is no front office. Visitors are immediately embraced by an airy atrium that is the centerpiece of this one-room schoolhouse. And all around the room, 124 students sit at desks — real office desks — working at their own personal computers on their own projects.
When Dee Thomas and her colleagues got together 15 years ago to design a new high school, they knew there was one thing that had to go: The bell. "You don"t go into your job in the morning and say, "OK, for the first 45 minutes of my job, I"m going to do the math part." And then a bell goes off, and you do the social history part of your job. You don"t do that," Thomas said.
There are no teachers at New Country. Every few weeks, students must present projects they"ve been working on to the rest of the school community. To prepare for their presentations, they gather at tables in the middle of the school atrium and present their work to their "advisers."
Kids at New Country test better than their peers on the state tests and on the pre-college ACT. The school sends 90 percent of its graduates to college. But that doesn"t tell the whole story. New Country struggles to keep its seniors from leaving. The school"s senior project is demanding — 300 hours of work.
But for some students, New Country offers a rare alternative, a choice they can"t find anywhere else. And the school is constantly visited by educators from around the world looking for new ideas. That"s the foundation of efforts to reform American high schools today — that there"s a need to experiment with an institution that is failing millions of students
小题1:The author mentioned the typical high school in the first paragraph ___________.
A. to tell us what the typical high school is like in USA.
B. to present a sharp contrast with the experimental school, New Country.
C. to introduce the topic, New Country, of the passage.
D. to call on students to register in the typical high school
小题2:The following statements about New Country are all true except________.
| A．New Country students sit in an open environment that looks a lot like a typical office. |
| B．Students consult with "advisers", who "teach" in the traditional sense. |
| C．No bells in New Country, students choose how to spend their time. |
| D．No traditional classes, students work on projects they select themselves. |
| A．high test scores | B．alternative |
| C．comfortable conditions | D．teaching methods |
| A．experimental school gets rid of classes and teachers. |
| B．typical high school and experimental School. |
| C．new schools in future in America. |
| D．education reform in America. |
