"That young woman who just waited on me," he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, "had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (现金出纳机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins." I understood Mike's concern. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative (有创造力的). The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them. It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book. It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy – reading books. Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination. 11.We can see from the passage that the author believes ________. A. information technology is being overused B. modern technology helps us to do things we don't even understand C. reading benefits children more than anything else D. electronics has no place in the classroom 正确答案：C 12.What solution does the author suggest to our children's problem? A. Get them off TV and computer games. B. Turn off all electronic equipment at school. C. Teach them how to learn from video games. D. Give them freedom in the use of computers. 正确答案：A 题目解析： 细节推理题。从第二段中第三句“Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play.”（电子游戏占据了活跃想象游戏的太多空间）可以推理出作者建议让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏，所以正确答案为A“让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏”。 13.For children to be interested in reading, they must ________. A. have an imaginative mind B. be given the right books C. turn off their television sets D. have a large enough vocabulary 正确答案：A 14.What is Mike's concern? A. People now rely too much on information technology. B. Many restaurants now do not provide good service. C. Modern technology feeds us too much information. D. We are creating people who can't think for themselves. 正确答案：D 15.What is the problem with the employee of the fast food restaurant? A. She does not know how to operate the cash register. B. She is unable to solve simple math problems. C. She lacks coins for customers' change. D. She does not know how to count coins 正确答案：B ________________________________________ Passage The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other’s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication. What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as a brake on twins’ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically 6 months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family – a one- parent family for example – where there is little stimulation for children anyway. Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and are thus at severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers. 16.The writer mentions all of the items listed below except ______. A. twins can help each other B. twins share each other’s emotion C. twins are able to understand each other in a private language D. twins communicate less with their parents 正确答案：A 17.The author probably feels that the twins’ problems ______. A. cannot be solved because the solution is very cruel B. can be solved because twins will be separated C. can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environment D. can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often 正确答案：C 18.What’s the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development? A. They can only understand their own private language. B. They communicate less with outsiders than non-twins. C. There is little stimulation for them. D. Adults don’t like to talk with them. 正确答案：B 19.“An underprivileged family” (Para. 2) may refer to ______. A. the family where the parents are divorced B. the family which is in poor condition C. the family where the parents are less educational D. all of the above 正确答案：D 20.Many people don’t know that _____. A. twins understand each other to talk B. twins are slow to learn to talk C. twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other children D. there exists thought communication between twins 正确答案：B ________________________________________ Passage In most lectures, several main ideas are presented. These are the concepts the lecturer wants the students to remember. Often the lecture has a general idea that serves as an “umbrella” covering the other main concepts. The students’ job, then, is to pick out the main concepts, including the “umbrella” idea. Lecturers usually begin with an introduction. Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea are briefly presented in the introduction; often they are not. Next comes the body of the lecture. It is here that the several main concepts are always presented. The final part of a lecture, the conclusion, is traditionally a summary of the main concepts. This is also the place where the “umbrella” idea can most easily re repeated, restated, or even introduced for the first time. When a lecture is well organized, with a clear-cut beginning, middle, and end, the main ideas are usually easy to pick out. When a lecture is not well organized, getting the gist (要点) of what is being said is quite difficult. Some lecturers are “long-winded”, taking a long time to come to the point. Others ramble on (杂乱无章地漫谈) and never seem to come to the point at all. 21.What is the main idea of this passage? A. A successful lecture. B. The usage of a lecture C. The organization of a lecture. D. What can we get from a lecture? 正确答案：C 22.Which of the following is a well-organized lecture? A. Those that ramble on the points. B. Those that don’t come to the point at all. C. Those that have a clear-cut beginning, middle and end. D. Those that are “long-winded”. 正确答案：C 23.What are the parts that a lecture normally has? A. Conclusion, main body and introduction. B. Main body, conclusion and introduction. C. Introduction, main body and conclusion D. Introduction, conclusion and main body. 正确答案：C 24.In a lecture, what is the students’ main job? A. To give an “umbrella” to the lecture. B. To pick out the main concepts. C. To answer questions. D. To find the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea. 正确答案：D 25.What does the underlined part “umbrella” refer to? A. A cover of something B. The general idea C. The main concepts. D. An instrument to protect people from the rain 正确答案：B ________________________________________ 第三部分 词汇和结构 此部分共有20个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 26.The prisoner has been _______ of many privileges that average citizens enjoy.
