However, teens of today place too great an importance on material property. They spend an average of several hours a day watching television, listening to stereos, playing on the computer, playing video games, and talking on the telephone. Families no longer watch television together and there is great lack of communication. Materialism is evident when an otherwise intelligent teenager drives their parents crazy, and into debt, when misusing communication equipment. Teens judge and admire other teens for what they own and have, rather than for what they are or what they can do. They no longer care about values, like honesty, integrity(正直), freedom, talent, quality and other values and morals.
However, good or bad, communication devices are here to stay. It is up to us, as parents, to stop our beloved teenagers from misusing and abusing our communication equipment and devices. We need to avoid the problems they present and to make the most of their opportunities they possess and hold for us all.

It is easy to say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
小题1:By using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in intelligence that writer wants to prove _ .
| A．intelligence can be developed by environment |
| B．intelligence is given at birth |
| C．intelligence can be developed by experience |
| D．education plays an important part in the development of education |
| A．his family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligence |
| B．he can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birth |
| C．his family is rich and provides him with various healthy food |
| D．these surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of their intelligence |
| A．choose two persons who are relative |
| B．take out two different persons |
| C．choose two persons with different intelligence |
| D．pick any two persons |
| A．Birth and Environment | B．Intelligence |
| C．The Answer to a Question | D．Intelligence and Education |
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive (连续的) fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently (因此), for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated (孤立的) words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
小题1:The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
| A．one’s familiarity with the text |
| B．one’s purpose in reading |
| C．the length of a group of words |
| D．lighting and tiredness |
| A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation |
| B．requires a reader to see words more quickly |
| C．demands an deeply-participating mind |
| D．demands more mind than eyes |
| A．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted. |
| B．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words. |
| C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading. |
| D．The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words. |
| A．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time. |
| B．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training. |
| C．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading. |
| D．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text. |
| A．critical (批评的) | B．neutral (中立的) |
| C． pessimistic （悲观的 ） | D．optimistic |
Homes have entire roofs made of solar materials, rooms are kept warm by wallpaper, and people go to and from work in electric and hydrogen( 氢) cars.
Oil is still being found in the North Sea, but it’s not now only used to keep aircraft flying. And a new 500---mile underwater link with Iceland has been built to catch heat from the hot springs. There’s still a role for king coal—but the black diamonds are now environment---friendly.
People will be able to import the electricity they need and export any excess(超过的量) they make through rooftop windmills(风车). New technology will store electricity better and provide it on demand. Heat exchangers will provide heating and hot water.
Harmful carbon dioxide waste is being piped offshore to St Fergus and from there into some of the remaining oil—producing fields to be stored safely without entering the atmosphere. Gas remains the preferred energy source of industry and is now shipped in liquid form. But hydrogen is imported through pipelines from France and from a geothermal (地热的) plant in Iceland.
Hydrogen—fuelled cars have become popular. Electric bikes are common in cities using the new urban two—wheel network. Electric vehicles have become common, and their performances have been improved because of the developments in electrical drive technology like high—temperature super conducting motors. Many people leave their vehicles in a giant park where they can be recharged from the national electrical system . Oilseed rape (油菜) is widely grown to fuel some motors .
小题1:What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 mean ?
| A．The hot springs | B．Oil | C．Coal | D．Oil and coal |
| A．Oil and coal |
| B．Hydrogen and gas |
| C．Electricity and gas |
| D．Solar energy and wind |
| A．windmills | B．electric bikes |
| C．hydrogen—fuelled cars | D．aircraft |
| A．life will be better and better |
| B．the energy will become cleaner and cleaner |
| C．people will use some new sources of energy |
| D．people will pay more attention to the environment |
The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.
The scientists say the common method called longline fishing is especially damaging to populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be close to one-hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.
Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one-hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.
Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with Boris Worm of Dalhousie and the University of Kiel in Germany. Mister Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete re-organization of ocean life systems. Mister Meyers says the decreased number of large fish is not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors(祖先). He says not only are there fewer big fish, they are smaller than those of the past.
American government scientists say even with the best efforts to protect fish populations, decreases are to be expected.
小题1:Where is the passage probably taken from?
| A．A story book. |
| B．A business magazine. |
| C．An environment report. |
| D．An economic survey. |
| A．longline fishing method is used |
| B．sea water is getting polluted |
| C．mankind destroys the environment |
| D．governments don’t make the best efforts |
| A．Today’s “large”fish are smaller than those of the past. |
| B．Longline boats now might catch fewer fish every one-hundred hooks. |
| C．Fish even able to reproduce don’t have the chance to live longer. |
| D．Japanese boats could catch about ten fish for every 100 hooks. |
| A．Discoveries Canadian Scientists Have Made |
| B．Japanese Fishing Industry |
| C．Losses of Big Fish |
| D．Modern Fishing Methods |
| A．In the 1960s. | B．In the 1970s. | C．In the 1980s. | D．In the 1990s. |
