They were just grasshoppers(蚂蚱). But there weremillions of them, which was why dad was so anxious toget rid of them.“They’re totally destroying our beans, ”he toldMom over luncht ime one Saturday. “I’ve been tryingto keep them out of the tomatoes, but I don’t know ifI can make it. ”“Isn’t there something you can do about them? ”Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think there’s a spray(喷雾)or something, ”Dad said. “I’m going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions. ”I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. But what I heard was, “While I’m gone, why don’t you and George come up with your own plan for getting rid of the grasshopp ers? ”And so that’s what we did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I won’t describe our experiments. Let’s just call it“The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter quic kly turned to silence when we saw the look on my Dad’s face.“What are you boys doing? ”he asked.“We’re just sort of helping to get rid of the grasshoppers, ”I said.“This isn’t getting rid of grasshoppers, ”Dad said. “This is killing. ”I was confused. I looked at the insecticide he was carrying. “But aren’t you going to kill grasshoppers with that? ”I asked.“Yes, because it’s something we need to do for the protection of our garden, ”hesaid seriously. “But I’m not going to enjoy it. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution i n office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large co mputers were only used by large, rich companies that could af ford the investment. With the advancement of technology, sm all computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and ex pensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the fiel d of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices ar e now estimated to have a word processor and this percentag e is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for bot h secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot ofdaily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time t o do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manage r’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of a nd money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outs ide office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using wor d processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared tha t if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child i n her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in bother to buy them .Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.1. Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large compu ters because_________.A. these companies had not enough money to buy such expe nsive computersB. these computers could not do the work that small co mputers can do todayC. these computers did not come onto the marketD. these companies did not need to use this new techn ology2. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is __________.A. the saving of time and moneyB. the use of computers in small companiesC. the wide use of word processorsD. the decreasing number of secretaries3. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with t he use of word processors _________.A. some secretaries will lose their jobsB. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC. medical problems related to work with a VDU have incre ased greatlyD. the British companies will make less money4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B. The British companies care much for the health of the pe ople using word processors.C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatl y advanced over the last ten years.D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. safety screens are of poor qualityB. working at a VDU for a long time is good for one’s healthC. more and more British offices will use word processorsD. British companies will need fewer and fewer managers 【参考答案】1—5、ACABC阅读理解。

Now scientists believe that global warmingaffects hibernating animals, causing them to wake upearlier. While this may seem a little concern, it isin fact a significant environmental problem. Theshortened hibernation period could actually lead tosignificant declines in the population of severalspecies.Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, ma rmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hib ernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陈代谢). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have got the amountof sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migr ation patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. ”【文章大意】全球变暖带来的连锁反应是多方面的, 其中之一就是导致一些冬眠动物的冬眠期缩短, 这会给这些动物带来巨大的影响。

Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.Seeing that the scorpion c ould lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”“Yes, you may. ”“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stu ng hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chai n, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However,I am supposed to be a sain t, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love.I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”The man nodded.【文章大意】一个圣徒从河里拯救一只蝎子时, 先后被蜇了两次, 但他仍旧努力把它救了出来。

All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day.If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July. If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.5. We learn from the passage that ______.A. a single adult had better visit the Magic Kingdo m on a school dayB. children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year’s DayC. Disney World theme parks have the same opening and closing timesD. the Magic Kingdom was the earliest theme park in the world6. If you want to have dinner in the Walt Disney World, you can ______.A. see the guide to Disney World tickets to reserve a tableB. use 1-407-WDW-DINE to reserve about 3 months in advanceC. make a call to reserve a table for dinner in advanceD. go to Cinderella’s Roy al Tab l e or the Liberty Tree Tavern at any time you like7. Which of the following is TRUE according to passage?A. Disney World theme parks will be closed on Christmas Day.B. The only way to get Walt Disney World tickets is to buy them online.C. The Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic Hours every day.D. Visitors have to reach the Magic Kingdom by tram and then boat.CThe origins of the apple tree are in Asia. We know that 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient Jericho, a city near the Jordan River. In some parts of the ancient world apples could only be afforded by royalty (王室成员) and their courts, and were a popular dessert as long ago as 4,500 years. Now the apple is the most popular fruit in the world.You probably know that there’s a tradition for students to bring shiny apples to their favorite teachers. But why?No one knows for sure. The idea of "an apple for the teacher" has been with us since the late 1800s. Perhaps the custom grew out of the fact that apples are ripe (成熟的) in September, when the school year usually begins. In earlier times, students, particularly those in rural areas, could pick apples from trees on their way to school. They were easy gifts for children to give.However, the lovely practice took on a dark note if the other children thought the gift-giver was trying to buy the teacher into giving him or her better grades. "Apple polisher" came to mean someone who tries to please a superior (上级) in return for special treatment. It was a popular college slang (俚语) term in the 1920s, but the term isn’t used much any more.It’s true that apples can be very attractive. The apple is America’s favorite fruit, as shown in the phrase, "as American as Mom and apple pie".After all, wh o ever says, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away" or "You’re the banana of my eye"? And who brings a banana to his or her teacher? Nobody.8. What do we learn about the apple from the passage?A. It has been popular worldwide since 8,500 years ago.B. It has been a popular dessert for about 4,500 years.C. The origins of the apple tree are in America.D. Everyone could enjoy this fruit in the ancient world.9.Why did students give their teachers apples?10. A. Apples were ripe when the school year began.B. Apples were the most popular fruit.C Apples were expensive enough as gifts.D. Teachers liked to get apples from students.10. Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase "apple polisher"?A. It is used to praise someone for his / her performance.B. It is still as popular nowadays as before.C. It may mean something good or bad, depending on the situation.D. It refers to someone who wants to please a leader.11. What do we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Apples are related to mothers in America.B .Apple is a popular word, and used in many phrases.C. Apples are attractive because of many stories.D. Nobody wants to use the word banana.DOne of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律). Generally, English people are polite and always want to please others. On the other hand, they don’t like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.We often hear of the English "reserve"(矜持). On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sittin g together, often there won’t be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. That wouldn’t be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too.The English value privacy (隐私) very much. An Englishman’s house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors’. An Englishman’s house is his castle.Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people —the Scottish dress. Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume —the kilt. This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.12. When the English are in a dangerous situation they usually _______.A. laugh at other peopleB. behave very bravelyC. hide their emotionsD. run away immediately13. In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York to ________.A. explain what a personal question isB. show the bad manners of AmericansC. show that English people are not very politeD. show the reserve of the English14. What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraph?A. It’s long and just like a skirt.B. It’s worn by both men and women.C. It’s made of a special type of cloth in Scotland.D. It’s a traditional costume all over Great Britain.15. What can we learn about the English from the passage?A. They are not very confident.B. A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe.C. They usually don’t respect others’ priv acy.D. They prefer a house with a garden to a flat.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。

For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship(实习). In some countries, scho ols have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools e ncourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they w ill become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in l anding a job, ”said Michael, a researcher in the US.【文章大意】文章通过与德国中学情况的比较, 说明在美国中学里很缺乏有关职业生涯的基本课程。

They were just grasshoppers(蚂蚱). But there weremillions of them, which was why dad was so anxious toget rid of them.“They’re totally destroying our beans, ”he toldMom over luncht ime one Saturday. “I’ve been tryingto keep t hem out of the tomatoes, but I don’t know ifI can make it. ”“Isn’t there something you can do about them? ”Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think there’s a spray(喷雾)or something, ”Da d said. “I’m going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions. ”I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. But what I heard was, “While I’m gone, why don’t you and George come up with your own plan for getting rid of the grassho ppers? ”And so that’s what we did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I won’t describe our experiments. Let’s just call it“The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter qu ickly turned to silence when we saw the look on my Dad’s face.“What are you boys doing? ”he asked.“We’re just sort of helping to get rid of the grasshoppers, ”I said.“This isn’t getting rid of grasshoppers, ”Dad said. “This is killing. ”I was confused. I looked at the insectici de he was carrying. “But aren’t you going to kill grasshoppers with that? ”I asked.“Yes, because it’s something we need to do for the protection of our garden, ”hesaid seriously. “But I’m not going to enjoy it. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

I came to study in the a year ago. Yet I did not know the re al American society until I was injured in a car accident becau se after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.After the accident , my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day . But t he next day , he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had d one . I was astonished . He had good reason to charge me , h e said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury , I’d have to have a good lawyer . And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor , it was only fair tha t I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor , I h ad to wait about 50 minutes . He would see two or three patie nts at the same time ,and often stop treating one so as to see another . Yet he charged me $115 each time . The final exami nation report consisted of ten lines , and it cost me $215. My l awyer was all smiles the first time we met . But after that he avoided seeing me at all . He knew very well the other party wa s responsible for the accident , yet he hardly did anything . He simply waited to collect his money . He was so irresponsible t hat I decided to dismiss him . And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving . Knowing that ,they played for time,… and I left without getting a cent. My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like money is everything . It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality . Secondly ,foreigne rs are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about , we should see both its good and bad sides .1. The author’s roommate offered to help him because ______ ____.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer2. A good doctor is essential for the author to__________ .A. be properly treatedB. talk with the person responsible for the accidentC. recover before he leavesD. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury3. The underlined word “ charge “ in this passage means ____ _______.A. be responsibleB. accuseC. ask as a priceD. claim4. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very ___ ________.A. friendlyB. greedyC. professionalD. busy5. What conclusion can you draw from the story ?A. Going to court is something very common in .B. One must be very careful while driving a car .C. there are more bad sides in than good sides .D. Money is more important than other things in the .【参考答案】1—5、BDCBD【2015高考复习】阅读理解Two things I really believe in—saving money and saving the planet，and it's even better when I can do something that accomplish es both at the same time.Rainwater harvesting is just such a thing.In the near future，rainwater harvesting will be as common as twelveyearold girls carrying cell phones.Many countries already rely heavily on rainwater.Bermuda，for example，every building on the small island collects the rainwater from it s roof and stores it for later use.However，America_is_just_slightly_behind_the_curve.There are many ways you can begin harvesting rainwater and most of them are easy and e rain barrels to co llect the water that would run off of your roof.You'd be surpris ed how fast a fiftygallon barrel will fill with free，usable water.New building construction offers some good way s to gather rainwater，and the cost of installation is usually offset by reduced usage very quickly.Roof drains can be piped into underground tanks ，where a pump can draw it up as needed.The rainwater can even be treated to make it drinkable...but w ait—there's more！If that rainwater were not collected，but allowed to run over your lawn，into the street and eventually to a stormwater treatment facilit y，it would pick up all sorts of pollutants on its journey—fertilizers and pesticides from the grass，motor oil，antifreeze and such from the roads，and who knows what else.Depending on where you live，the stormwater may be piped to a treatment plant or it may ru n in natural channels to allow nature to remove the pollutants. Either way，the treatment of stormwater is costly.If you reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from your home or office，you reduce the need for treatment.Water is rapidly becoming one of our most precious resources and it is not as abundant as you may think.In the year 2000，the United States used approximately 326 billion gallons of fre sh water per day.20．What does the underlined sentence “ is just slightly behin d the curve” mean?A．Americans don't show interest in harvesting rainwater.B．There is no need for Americans to harvest rainwater.C．Harvesting rainwater in is not that common.D．Americans can't collect rainwater from the roof correctly.答案 C [句意理解题。

Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。

“Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papade ros held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing f rom my eyes that I was.“I will answer your question.”Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the si ze of a quarter. And what he said went like this:“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I foun d the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had be en wrecked in that place.I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, b y scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play withit as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could refle ct light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that thi s was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nev ertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark plac es of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the mea ning of my life.”1. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos _________ _ at first.A. laughed at his foolishnessB. wasn’t sure of t he answerC. doubted his seriousnessD. wasn’t interest ed at all2. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?A. He found it on the road and made it round.B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present.C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing.D. He put the broken pieces together and made it.3. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys.B. Because it could shine the places where the sun coul d n’t reach.C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant t o him.4. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most proba bly means _____ .A. symbolB. sourceC. lightD. purpose5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passag e?A. A Special Game in the ChildhoodB. A Broken Piece of MirrorC. Dr. Papaderos’ ExperienceD. The Meaning of Life【参考答案】1—5、CABAD。

Once, the Paiter-Surui tribe(部落)lived a happy life in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. But after the tribe’s first me eting with Westerners several decades ago, they were nearly wiped out; diseases brought by outsiders reduced the Surui’s numbers from 5, 000 to about 250.Today, some 1, 300 tribe people live in 23 villages across 600, 000 acres. Though they are as likely to wear T-shirts and jeans as feathered headdresses, the Surui are determined to preserve and protect the tribal culture of their homeland. Now they are under threat again, from illegal logging and deforestation(滥伐), but this time it’s different. The Surui have put aside their bows and arrows and taken up a new weapon: the Internet.The tribe people learned to use the Web from their leader, Chief Almir Narayamoga. “We decided to use computers and technology to br ing attention to our situation, ”says Narayamoga, 36. The first in his tribe to attend college, Chief Narayamoga learned how to use computers at the Federal University of Goiás in Goiânia, a city of 1. 2 million. In 2007, he fled the Surui homeland after his fight against loggers who placed a $100, 000 reward on his head. He traveled to the United States and paid a visit to Google headquarters in California. He came armed with a big idea.Narayamoga’s visit to Google was considered a great success. And Go ogle sent teams to the Amazon to train the Surui in using computers, cameras, and smart phones to photograph logging sites, which could be pinpointed using GPS technology and then uploaded to Google Earth. The Surui have now mapped the entire reserve and recorded the biodiversity and the rainforest within it.【文章大意】本文主要讲了巴西土著居民正在利用因特网让世人知道他们的处境, 并开始保护他们的家园。

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a r egistered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimpse into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.【文章大意】运动员的成长不仅需要锻炼, 还需要营养, 合理膳食也至关重要。

Increa sed use of the Internet and mobile pho nes is undermining pupils’ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it wasclaimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almostsix in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directlyfrom websites for homework tasks withoutproperly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptablepractice,even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsessio n(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils’school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in ess ays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。
