     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. Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?
A. They don"t really talk.
B. They use the computer language.
C. Laptops have speakers.
D. None of the above reasons is correct.
3. 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.
4. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _____.
A. attend lectures on information technology
B. travel around the world
C. get information from around the world
D. have free laptops
5. What can we infer (推断)from the passage?
A. The program is successful
B. The program is not workable.
C. The program is too expensive.
D. We don"t know the result yet.

     Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This
kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for
years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
     The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears
quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result
of a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.
Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually
does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type,
chronic (长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who
experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many
chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
     Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy
and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart
disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can
be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
1. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
A. Talk to friends.
B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor.
D. Ask your teachers for guidance.
2. "It" in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _____.
A. temporary loneliness
B. situational loneliness
C. a new place
D. sleeplessness
3. The topic of the 4 paragraph is that_______.
A. one problem of loneliness is a person"s social contacts
B. we depend on various people for different reasons
C. lonely people don"t have many social problems
D. lonely people don"t have many friends
4. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D. Such people are harmful to society.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Three kinds of loneliness
B. Loneliness and Diseases
C. Loneliness and Social Contacts
D. Chronic Loneliness

     The term home schooling means educating children at home or in places other than a normal setting such
as a public or private school. There are many reasons why parents choose home schooling for their children.
Some parents are   1    with the quality of education in the public schools. Others do not want their children
to have to worry about "peer pressure", or social pressure from friends. They say it may have a(n)   2   effect
on the child"s studies. These parents   3   this type of pressure will lead to bad behavior such as smoking,
drinking alcohol, and taking drugs.
     Bullying (欺负) from other students is another concern. Still other parents choose this type of   4   for
religious reasons. Whatever the    5   may be, it is evident that more and more children are being taken out
of normal schools every year.    6  , many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home
schooling against public schooling.
     What then is the future of education? Will this new model of schooling replace normal schools? Will
computers and the Internet   7   our classrooms and teachers? As the debate continues, so do the questions
about what home schoolers are studying at home. How can parents ensure that their children are prepared 
  8    for college? How are home schoolers assessed to make sure they are getting the same educational
standards that school students must have?
     Finally, there are questions regarding the children"s emotional development. Are they too   9   their
fellow students? Are they   10   the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of
students? As with any debatable issue, the answers to these questions are neither simple nor one-sided.

     In some children who go blind, certain parts of the brain that normally control vision appear to switch jobs
and focus instead on sound, a new study has found. 
     The study, by researchers at the University of Montreal, involved 7 adults who could see and 12 adults who had lost their vision when they were children. Each participant sat in a room with 16 loudspeakers at different
locations. The room was designed so that there were no echoes. During the experiment, the speakers irregularly produced sounds. Participants had to point to where the sounds were coming from. Meanwhile, the researchers monitored blood flow in the brains of the participants to see which brain structures were working during the
task.
      The results showed that five of the blind participants were very good at pointing to where sounds were
coming from. In these people, blood flow increased in the visual cortex- an area at the back of the right side of
the brain. This part of the brain is usually associated with vision.
     The other seven blind participants showed no increase in activity in the visual cortex. These people didn"t
do very well at picking out where sounds were coming from. Now, the researchers are looking at whether these people have gained an enhanced sense of touch instead of sound to replace their lost vision.
     The scientists say that their study shows how adaptable parts of the brain can be.
1. The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to find whether _____.
A. blind children can regain their sight
B. blind people have a better sense of sound
C. the sense of touch is better among blind people
D. blood flow in the brains of blind people is slower
2. The participants of the experiment were asked _____.
A. to tell the difference between 16 sounds
B. to take down the time each sound lasted
C. to identify the direction the sound came from
D. to detect the number of the loudspeakers.
3. During the experiment, blood flow in the brains of the participants was measured in order to _____.
A. learn about the way they react to echoes
B. look for the way of enhancing hearing ability
C. find which parts of the brain were functioning
D. expose the relationship between seeing and touching
4. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Most blind people have a well-developed sense of touch.
B. People go blind because of the breakdown of their visual cortex.
C. Most blind people have a better sense of sound than normal people.
D. Human brains can adjust themselves after the loss of a certain function.

     An ancient Egyptian mummy thought to be that of Pharaoh Ramses I (法老一世) has returned home after
more than 140 years in North American museums. The body was carried off the plane in Cairo in a box
covered in Egypt"s flag.
     The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled
3,000 years ago. The US museum acquired it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is
thought to have bought it from Egyptian gave robbers in 1860.The mummy was welcomed back home with
songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.

with the body and said it would be moved next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt."We are not
100% sure that mummy is that of Ramses I," said Mr. Hawass."But we are 100% sure that it is of a king."
     Atlanta"s Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech
scanning equipment indicated it was likely to be that of Ramses I. The museum website said it had been
acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum. It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the
Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had came across a tomb filled with royal
mummies at a site near Luxor.
