A
Dear Jenny,
How's it going? Are you busy with your study these days? I'm back at school for nearly four weeks.
I'm very happy to tell you about great changes taking place in our school this term. First of all, the school asks us to "clear our plates (光盘)" when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to (过去常常) buy more than what we could eat. That's a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we buy. We must also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we need to turn off the lights when we leave the classroom. And our school opens up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class has a small garden and our class decides to grow some tomatoes and beans(豆类) in our free time. I think that'll be very interesting. Maybe I can send you some beans we grow next time. What's more, we have only two classes in the afternoon so we have more time for after-school activities(活动). After school, we often go to the streets near our school and ask people to follow the traffic rules (交通规则).
I think we are having a different school life now! Please write back soon and tell me more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei

B
Today men have reached the top of the world's highest mountains. But for many, many years, even people living among the mountains did not climb them. Indeed, people believed that men could not climb mountains.
For a long time, mountains were thought to be the home of evil(凶恶的) spirits. People believed dragons lived on the mountainsides. They thought these dragons would gobble up anyone coming near.
When men began to climb mountains, the air high on a mountain was very, very cold. The climber could fall into deep cracks(裂缝). Strong winds and terrible storms could sweep a man off the mountainside.
At first, men did not have proper things to climb high mountains. They did not have ice axes(斧), ropes or the right kind of clothing.
Later, men could not reach the top of the highest peaks(山峰) for another reason. As a man climbed higher, the air became thinner. There was less O2 to breathe(呼吸). Above 18,000 feet, a climber had to stop every few steps to catch his breath. His heart beat faster and his blood became thicker. Above 25,000, a climber would begin to see things that were not here. He could no longer think clearly about what he had to do.
60. This passage mainly tells us about  .
A. the dangers of climbing high mountains
B. people living in mountains
C. the evil spirits and dragons living on mountains
D. the proper equipment needed to climb mountains
61. It's difficult for men to get to the top of the highest peaks mainly because  .
A. they are not tall enough
B. they can't breathe easily there
C. they are afraid of spirits and dragons
D. they are sure to fall into cracks
62. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “gobble up” means  .
A. eat up very fast B. play with
C. get out of D. argue with
C
My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.
If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favourite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie,you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys,you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my
house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?''
63. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to develop a new system B. The function of the PIN
C. A home for the future D. Easy life for the future
64. What's the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?
A. To let readers know why his ideas are new
B. To let readers know how special his house is
C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console
D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are
65. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because  .
A. it has been controlled by computers
B. you can make a telephone call anywhere
C. it has your favourite music following you
D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
66. What is we writer most likely to be according to the passage?
A. An IT expert(专家) B. A famous doctor
C. A hard-working professor D. A well-known teacher
D
Students and Technology in the Classroom

I love my blackberry(黑莓手机)—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Although I love the technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others.
On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration(专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I'm sticking to my
