help checking if there were messages or missed phone calls. I even played games on the phone sometimes."
The school authorities say they feel the ban (禁令) is necessary to keep order in class. They even gave
out an open letter to remind parents not to let their children bring mobile phones to school. More than 96
percent of parents say they welcome the school decision. The school is also being flexible (灵活的) in
implementing the ban. Those students who live far from school are allowed to bring mobile phones to

flights are given plenty of work to keep them 1 . There are also constant communications with people on
the earth. 2 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being 3 .
This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 4 space flights in the
future. Will there be special problem of adjustment (调整) under such 5 ?
Scientists have studied the reactions (反应) of men to one another during long submarine 6 . They have
found that the longer the voyage 7 , the more serious the problem of 8 is. When men are 9 together for
a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily
acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 10 .
Although no one wants to be 11 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy(隐私). When people
are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual
amount of 12 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 13 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why
so much 14 is taken in choosing our astronauts. These men undergo (经历) a long period of 15 and
training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.

Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability. First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one. Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don"t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more"fashionable". Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio. Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook. | |||
1. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ________. | |||

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we"re giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything." | |||
1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____. | |||
A. use for their schoolwork B. access the Internet C. work at home D. connect them to libraries | |||
2. Which of the following is true about Westlake College? | |||
A. All teachers use computers. B. 1500 students have laptops. C. It is an old college in America. D. Students there can do everything. | |||
3. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _____. | |||

For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages. Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that 5% are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life. However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely. Other scientists believe that our search hasn"t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking. | |||
1. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable? | |||
A. 5 billion. B. 10 billion. C. 15 billion. D. 200 billion | |||
2. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _______. | |||
A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets | |||
3. The underlined word "monitor" in the passage means" _______". | |||
A. find B. follow C. check D. form | |||
4. Which of these statements is True based on the information in the passage? | |||
A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy. B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. C. Scientists don"t believe that there might be life on other planets. D. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets. | |||

When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions (解法) to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving (涉及) long rows of figures in one continuous operation (运算). In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given £2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now. Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was "No." From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer. | |||
1. The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems ______. | |||
A. in one operation with few mistakes B. in more than one operation without any mistakes C. in more than one operation with slight mistakes D. in one operation without any mistakes | |||
2. Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______. | |||
A. he was in poor health B. he almost ran out of money C. his co-workers argued with him D. he spent all his money on his bills | |||
3. Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _______. | |||
A. they would agree to his plan B. they would pay for his new idea C. they would support him with money D. they would exhibit his new design | |||
4. From the passage, we can infer that _______. | |||
A. Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge B. Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily C. Babbage always needed support from the government officials D. Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer |
