At a science museum in Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Children’s Museum in New York,you can play an African drum.There are no “Do Not Touch”sign in some other museums in the USA.
More and more museum directors have realized that people learn beat when they can become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,the visitors are encouraged to touch,listen,operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.
The purpose is not only to provide fun,but also help people feel at home in the world of science.If people don’t understand science,they will be afraid of it;and if they are afraid of science,they will not make the best use of it.
One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time.Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population.Many of them are college students or college graduates.They see things in a new and different way.They want art that they can take part in.The same is true of science and history.
The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new,modern museums.In the States and Canada,there are more than 6 000 museums,almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.
53.The directors of the museums have realized______.
A.people learn beat when they look at something.
B.visitors prefer to learn from museums
C.people are interested if they take part
D.the importance of scientific rules
54.Why has the growing population of young people caused the changes in museums?
A.Because they are stronger.
B.Because they have less spare time.
C.Because they are better educated.
D.Because there are more young people.
55.Which of the following is not shown in Paragraph Two?
A.People are encouraged to take part in what they are seeing.
B.People are enjoying themselves fully in modern museums.
C.People will understand better by trying to discover the scientific rules themselves.
D.People should go to a museum to learn something.
The essays are on the new website,“revise.it.”
The website includes an “Essay Lab”designed to make cheating(舞弊)as effective and effortless as possible.
Its homepage announces to surfers(网上冲浪者):“The revise.it Essay Lab is a bank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics.”
“Next time you are asked to write an essay,why not see what we have on the subject—if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in.”
Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo,both 19 and first from Manchester,spent much of their first year as students at the university setting up the website.There is no charge for downloading the essays.
“I have never been very good at essay writing,”Rose admitted.“We don’t see essay bank as a cheating way.It’s a surprising valuable resource.You can learn a lot by reading other people’s work on the subject.”
Among other tips,the website suggests inventing important speeches to give essays extra weight:“Popular people to quote(引用)are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli.”
Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s and Disraeli was a 19th century prime minister.
Teachers are expressing their opinions by e-mail that they are angry about the website that “encourages students to cheat”,but students disagree.
According to Rose:“Exams are a fight.It’s us against them.”

A.students who visit the website“revise.it”are all lazy

C.students are not satisfied with the education system
D.students are too lazy to learn anything
Without TV in my home, I would have time to seek other interests. For example, I love to play the piano and without the fun of TV, I would have more time to practice. At other times, I could paint portraits of my family and friends.
Not only that, but also I could find much more time to socialize with my friends and family if my TV disappeared. At my house, the TV is always on during dinner. Without TV we might have time to tell each other about what happened to us that day. In addition, we could more easily find more time to talk with old friends on the telephone. Thus, social time would increase without TV.
Most importantly, lacking a TV would give me a big increase in the available time for exercise in my life. With extra time, I could make the long journey to Bowen Island and go on an enjoyable hike in the mountains. Another exercise would be to go swimming or to an aerobics(有氧运动) class at Bonsor Community Centre. Watching more TV will only develop my bottom muscle.
Seeking other interests, socializing with friends and family, and exercising frequently would be the benefits of having no TV at my home. Just think how much more time I would have if I got rid of my computer, too!
62. According to the passage, we can infer that the author _________ too much.
A. takes exercise B. plays the piano
C. watches TV D. talks with his family
63. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. we can’t live without TV
B. TV does harm to the author’s life
C. what the author could do without TV
D. why the author dislikes TV
64. The author thinks that he could do the following EXCEPT _____ without TV.
A. playing computers
B. doing outdoor sports
C. make conversations with family and friends
D. doing social activities
65. What’s the most suitable title for the passage?
A. We can’t live without TV. B. TV benefits us a lot.
C. Disadvantages of TV. D. Living without TV.
The program offers, millions of girls a first - hand view of the many career opportunities available in their futures.Now that women make up 46 peroent of the U.S.workforce, girls can find role models in every occupational field-from politics to molecular biology to professional athletics, to name just a few.TOD encourages girls to focus on their abilities and opportunities, not just their appearance.
The NFW developed the project more than a decade ago to address the self - esteem problems that many girls experience when they enter adolescence.At school, boys often receive more encouragement in the classroom, especially in math.science and computer science, the academic fields that tend to lead to the highest salaries.Women receive on average only 73 cents for every dollar that men are paid.and remain vastly underrepresented (数量不足) in top executive positions and technology fields.TOD aims to give girls the confidence and inspiration they need to develop successful careers, particularly in non-traditional fields.
Perhaps because the program had become so widespread and successful, TOD had been criticized for excluding boys.and it was expanded in 2003to include boys.The program’s official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in tenns of gender stereotyped roles."We should also show boys that becoming a child care provider is as acceptable a choice as becoming a police officer or CEO," added Sara K.Gould.executive director of the NFW.
