举一反三
I am sure that everybody in his/her life has used computers.Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere—at home,at school,at work and they certainly make life easier.On the other hand,there are people who can work without them.
Anyway, I believe their presence is a good thing.Life with them seems less difficult and more comfortable.You can use them to choose your meal,to withdraw your money,and also to save your time,because these operations ale all controlled by computers.Therefore,you can hardly imagine the modern world without them;the whole planet seems to be one big computer society.
Nevertheless,problems call often appear in this area,too.To have a computer means you have to be quite rich and have the necessary skills to use it.However, think about questions like,“Are computers available for everyone, for rich and poor people,for people from villages and people from cities? Aren’t they too expensive? Is everyone able to learn how to use them and does everyone have the chance to access and work with them? How could everything in the future be dependent on them?”Therefore,I think our society will be divided into two pans.One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out of society and will actually be left far behind the other group.
Another question that bothers me is,computers are important and they’re good things in our life, but they aren’t everything. They are good as a help at school, quite often as entertainment, especially for young people, as an necessary tool to help in research etc. , but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them, because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything, can’t be human and sympathetic, and every action performed by computer can be interfered(干涉) with could cause these machines to crash or work badly.
In conclusion, I would like to say I am not against computers. I use computers too, but people should be wary all the time.
72.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
①="Paragraph " ②="Paragraph2 " ③="Paragraph" 3 ④Paragraph4 ⑤=Paragraph5
73.By saying“wary”(in the last paragraph),the author is trying to say,“People should ”
A.be strongly for the use of computers because of its convenience
B.be careful with computers that will also cause problems
C.master more necessary computer skills
D.not do something that causes computers to work badly
74.In the third paragraph,the author presents his idea by .
A.asking questions for people to think about
B.giving examples to support his argument
C.raising questions and answering them
D.expressing his opinion directly
75.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to .
A.encourage us to use computers in our society
B.advise us to say no to computers from now on
C.remind us to care about the problems that computers bring
D.inform us that computers has become a necessary part of our life
Teenagers also cause discipline(纪律)problems.As a teacher, I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant.In fact,she had left home to stay with him.So we decided to put her in the school hostel.She refused.When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said:“Why don"t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her,hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders.It did not.The last I heard,she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and on.Could it be that today"s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒惩罚)their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree.I believe it is the parents" duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary.Later when they went abroad,they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined.Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse(虐待).However,my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
小题1:The underlined word“cajole”probably means .
A.persuade | B.scold | C.forgive | D.punish |
A.beat the children every day | B.treat the children in a softer way |
C.leave the children as they are | D.punish the children when necessary |

B.the teacher’s daughter is living with the teacher |
C.the author’s daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline |
D.the author was charged with child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad |
A.Spoil Kids | B.Value Discipline | C.Respect Parent | D.Protect Kids |
Computers might not be clever enough to trick adults into thinking they are intelligent yet, but a new study, led by Javier" Movellan at the University of Califomia San Diego, shows that a giggling (咯咯笑的) robot is clever enough to get toddlers (初学走路者) to treat it as a peer (同龄人).
The researchers stationed a 2-foot-tall robot Called QRIO in a classroom of a dozen toddlers aged between 18 months and two years. QRIO stayed in the middle of the room using its sensors (传感器) to avoid bumping (碰撞) into the kids. It was programmed to giggle when the kids touched its head, to occasionally sit down, and to lie down when its batteries died.
"We expected that after a few hours, the magic was going to disappear," Movellan says. "That"s what was found with earlier robots." But, in fact, the kids remained interested in the robot over several weeks, eventually communicating with QRIO in much the same way they did with other toddlers.
The researchers measured the relationship between the children and the robot in several ways. Firstly, as with other toddlers, they touched QRIO mostly on the arms and hands, rather than on the face or legs. For this age group, "the amount of touching is a good predictor of how you are doing as a social being," Movellan says.
The children helped the robot up when it fell, and when QRIO"s batteries ran out and it lay down, a toddler would come up and cover it with a blanket and say "night, night". However, when QRIO was programmed to spend all its time dancing, the kids quickly lost interest. When the robot went back to its old self, the kids treated it like a peer again.
"The study shows that current technology is very close to being able to produce robots able to develop a special relationship with toddlers," says Movellan. But, he adds, it is not clear yet whether robots can interest older children or adults in the same way.
1. What does the underlined word "stationed" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hid. B. Observed. C. Placed. D. Named.
2. At the beginning of the experiment, researchers .
A. feared that the robot would harm the toddlers
B. programmed the robot to move freely about the classroom
C. expected the robot to communicate with the toddlers
D. thought the toddlers" interest in the robot wouldn"t last long
3. Kids aged between 18 months and two years behave
as social beings by.
A. giggling B: touching C. toddling D. dancing
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Giggling robot becomes one of the kids
B. Giggling robot used as a classroom assistant
C. Giggling robot makes kids more active in class
D. Giggling robot attracts more attention from kids

72 And one of the biggest problems is “crazy” fans who live their idols (偶像) too much. Andy Lau, the Hong Kang superstar, experienced that last year. A fan was so crazy about Andy that she persuaded her parents to spend all their money and travel to Hong Kang to meet him. Andy is a nice man so he met the girl and talked with her for a few minutes.
That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn’t! 73 In despair (绝望), the father jumped into the sea and said it was because Andy Lau had made him poor and had made his daughter a “crazy” fan. It’s a very sad story and it shows what can happen when ordinary people become crazy pop fans.
We like famous persons, and we enjoy listening to them. 74 And some people think that, since they love the pop star, the pop star should love then back.. That’s crazy! 75 They have their own families and friends. Their job is to entertain us, not to love us. So, don’t be a “crazy” fan, be a good fan, and just appreciate the joy, the happiness and the excitement that your favorite pop star bring you.
A.Well, clearly, there are lots of problems. |
B.Sometimes we think we know them as well as we know our closest friends. |
C.It seems like the coolest job in the world. |
D.The family had spent all their money to meet Andy and they had no money to return home. |
F. Pop stars have their own personal lives.
G. In fact, there is no difficulty in becoming a pop star.
