Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year, only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidiesfrom their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficulties.Guidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992 Reading ComprehensionCircle the letter that best suits the answer or completes the statement.5.

Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题It's hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalatingtheir battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing 'level even if playing fields,'torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn't drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe's banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for 'a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.' In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don't like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs 'saved' by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawleyagricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we've never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:35. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.36. ( ) It's very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.37. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.38. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one's health.39. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.40. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.41. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia and Brazil.42. ( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.43. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.44. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.for each,20%)The Rich Get Richer and ElectedBy Steven V. RobertsThe representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as thefirst-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based one themembers’ financial reports.Behind this remarkable a swing, the study says, are two main factors: a courtdecision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns,and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it isincreasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mountsuccessful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns,but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.“The lower chamber is going upper class,” said Mark Green, the president of The Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.”The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.Of Assets and MillionairesMembers of Congress must report their assets in broad categories, not exact numbers, so the figures in the study are not precise. But the minimum average wealth of the 43 lawmakers first elected last year was $251,292. Six years earlier, the 74 new members reported an average of only $41,358 in assets. With inflation figured in, the increase was almost 400 percent in real terms.Moreover, financial data on the class of 1978 indicated only one millionaire, William F. Clinger Jr., a Pennsylvania Republican. Last year's newcomers included 15 possible millionaires, more than a third of the entire group. Topping the list was Joseph J. Dioguardi, a Westchester Republican, who listed assets of $1 million to $2.46 million.The main reason for the change, Mr. Green maintains, is the Supreme Court decision of 1976 in the case of Buckley V. Valeo. In that case, the Court ruled that limits mandated by Congress on the amount a candidate could give to his or her own campaign were an unconstitutional abridgment of individual rights. At the same time, the Court upheld limits on amounts contributed by outsiders.“Quite naturally”, Mr. Green said, “this puts a premium on personal wealth.The 43 Representatives newly elected in 1984 spent an average of $459,344; of that, $50,329 was their own money in an average case. Eight of the 43 spent more密封线内不要答题than $100,000 in personal funds but the clear leader was Tommy F. Robinson, an Arkansas Democrat, who contributed $441, 167 to his own campaign. Mr. DioGuardi was next with a personal donation of $210,000.The Senate Puts an even higher premium on wealth. Last year the average candidate for the Senate spent $2 million, and the roster of millionaires in the Senate is steadily growing.The second factor putting a premium on personal wealth, Mr. Green argues, is the rapid rise of political action committees. They tend to favor incumbents with their campaign contributions, and a result, Mr. Green says, is that it takes a wealthy challenger to make a race of things.One apparent effect is the obstacle this poses for women who run for Congress. While women in rapidly rising numbers are capturing local and state offices, their representation on the national level has stayed static. The class of 1984 included only two women: Helen D. Bentley of Maryland and Jan Meyers of Kansas, both Republicans.“It is largely men who control wealth in America,” Mr. Green said, “and if wealth is a major variable in political success, that automatically means more men will run and win.”Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause, the public affairs lobby that , if you're not personally wealthy, and you're not willing to indebt yourself to the PAC's, you face an uphill struggle just to get your message on the table.The authors of the study argue that some form of public financing for campaigns should be instituted. “Competition for public office should be based more upon merit than money,” asserted Gene Karpinski, executive director of the public interest research group.Mr. Wertheimer argues that “members of Congress know they have a national scandal on their hands ” and are willing to consider public financing, or at least a total limit on PAC contributions. But the chances for change in the current system remain decidedly poor.Obviously the current occupants of Capitol Hill have kept their seats under the present rules, which clearly favor incumbents. Accordingly, Mr. Green maintains, Congress is still probably “several scandals away ” from a serious push to change the campaign system.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题(From The New York Times, September 24, 1985)45. Why has the House of Representatives been changing into a rich man's club or a House of Lords?46. In what way did the Court decision favor the wealthy candidates?47. Are women far behind men in getting Congressional offices? Please give an example for your answer.48. What role do political action committees play in a campaign for public office? 49.

Its business culture, which has brought the world “shareholder value ” and “IPOs ”, has been leading commercial thinking in recent years and will continue to do so. But whoever wants to succeed in the US needs to remember the rules of the game.US business is described by the lyrics of the song New York, New York: “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!” Yet a euphoric approach to business is by no means enough. Although business communication in the US is pleasant and easygoing, it is at the same time ruthlessly focused.Communicating is natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, the emphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use of a sense of humour that is more direct than it is in the UK. If you give a talk in America, you should speak in a relaxed way and with plenty of jokes to capture your audience's attention.《英语报刊阅读》试卷(A 卷参考答案)Part Ⅰ Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: (1% for each, 10%) 1、The is the 2、and are3、are4、A is his aPart ⅡRead the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30 %) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%)A:5~9 BDCCD 10~14 CDBDA 15~19 BACDC20~24 DAABA 25~39 BACBD 30~34 ACDBCB:35~39 TFTFT 40~44 FTTFTPart ⅢRead the following passage and answer Questions 45~49 (4% for each,20%) 45.

高考语文 时文阅读精选 虚拟的“23号”素材
一篇题为《坐在路边鼓掌的人》的微博突然之间爆红网络,在微博上,它的转发量近十五万次,评论多达两万多条。
一时之间,“学着做一个路边的人”成了“流行语”,引发众多网民的热议。
《坐在路边鼓掌的人》说的是一个女孩学习成绩很一般,在班里始终徘徊在二十三名左右,因此被叫做“23号”。
但是,她的班主任遇到一件很奇怪的事,有一次语文试卷上有一道附加题:你最欣赏班上哪位同学,请说出理由。
除这个女孩外,全班同学竟然都写上了她的名字。
因为这个女孩“热心助人,守信用,不爱生气,好相处”等等。
女孩的父母曾一度为她中等的学习成绩而纠结,但那一刻,她的父母认为她是“英雄”,女孩却轻轻地说:“妈妈,我不想成为英雄,我想成为坐在路边鼓掌的人。
”一个没有特长、没有远大理想,只想做一名幼儿园老师的女孩,却在网络上“震撼”了成千上万的网友。
成绩一般没关系,但是十二岁的女孩懂得为身边的小弟弟、小妹妹剔蟹剥虾、盛汤揩嘴;没有弹钢琴等特长不要紧,但是在郊游时,她知道跑前跑后照看着食物,把倾斜的饭盒摆好,把松了的瓶盖拧紧,把流出的菜汁擦净;没有当政界要人的远大理想不丢人,长大后她一定会成为贤淑的妻子,温柔的母亲,甚至,热心的同事,和善的邻居。
《坐在路边鼓掌的人》很有可能是杜撰的故事,十二岁的“23号”也很有可能是我们心目中的一个“童话”,但这都没关系,它能被数十万人转发评论,且大多都是抱着“欣赏赞叹佩服”之心,至少说明这样的“童话”故事引起了受众的共鸣,与转发者心底的某种诉求达成了共振。
其实,《坐在路边鼓掌的人》并不是一篇新鲜出炉的文章。
早在2008年,它就在一本杂志上“面世”了,今天突然“火爆”,除了与微博这个新媒体的传播方式有关之外,更重要的是它和当下“主流”的社会心态有关。
这几乎是一个以“成功”为主流价值的社会。
成功或出名,成为很多人唯一的生活目标。
为此,可以牺牲一切,哪怕是良心和道德。
也似乎只有成功,才能证明自己活着的价值。
从当年的“卡耐基”热潮,到现在“成功学”的火爆,成功学大师激情澎湃的演讲,点燃了很多人内心的潜质或者欲望。

初三英语时文阅读(2009.4.17)(材料一)经济一不景气,三大时尚风向标便不由自主地反映出消费者微妙的心理变化……Three Fashion Indexes amid (在…的包围中) the Depression1. lipstick indicator 口红指数In 2001, when the American economy turned down after the 9/11 attacks (9·11恐怖袭击事件), lipstick sales increased greatly. That trend in discretionary spending is known as the lipstick indicator.In bad economies, lipsticks offer a cheaper compromise (和解,妥协). If a woman longs for a new luxury handbag that is far beyond her budget (预算), choosing a $30 tube of lipstick may feel like a thrifty (节约的) shopping decision. Also, women wear lipstick every day, such instant (迫切的) satisfaction can ease the urge to shop more.2. Hemline index 裙长指数In 1926, a US economist introduced the theory of the hemline index. As the theory goes, the shorter the skirt, the stronger the economy.Applying this theory to the New York autumn/winter 2008 shows (2008年纽约秋冬时装发布会), you will find that hemlines of many famous brands were below the knee! Yes, everyone is struggling duringa recession (衰退). Looking back over the decades, it is easy to see why the connection has been made: a glimpse (瞥) of leg gives a sense of independence and confidence; a sweeping skirt is a sign of modesty (谨慎) and austerity (紧缩).3. Hairstyle index 发型指数Now the len gth of women’s hair is no longer seen as a signal of fashion, but as a barometer (晴雨表) of a nation’s wealth.Japanese researchers have found that when economies are doing well, women wear their hair long; when there is a slump (物价暴跌), they cut it short.“People enjoy fewer material pleasures in periods of recession, so they want more visual pleasures. And there’s more styles among short haircuts than long ones,” said a researcher.(材料二)巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama),步入白宫的道路并不平坦。

微软和索尼两家视频游戏机巨头最近双双推出了升级版的互联网游戏服务来争夺价值300亿美元的市场。
Microsoft brings instant chat to TV screen, through games Microsoft planned to announce today that it will make its Windows Live Messenger service available on its Xbox 360 game consoles, bringing instant messaging from the computer to the television.The move was meant to help Microsoft stay ahead of Sony, its chief rival in the electronic games business, in delivering the richest online experience for game players. It is also an element of Microsoft's overall strategy to connect people across PCs, televisions and mobile devices like cell-phones.More than 200 million people use Windows Live Messenger to chat with friends, family members and colleagues. Separately, more than six million Xbox 360 owners are connected to the company's Xbox Live online community, an enhancement that lets people with broadband Internet connections communicate with one another.In the second week of May, those two worlds will begin to converge. Xbox Live members will be able to link their "gamer-tag" , the online identity they use within the Xbox community, to an existing Windows Live Messenger account. Players will then be able to chat with their instant-messaging contacts using a virtual on-screen keyboard or a USB keyboard plugged into the game machine.Microsoft executives said they hoped to offer voice chat between Xbox and Live Messenger users later this year. "We feel this is a huge step in driving social networking further into the family room by allowing Xbox 360 users to IM directly from their couch," said John Rodman, Microsoft's group manager for the Xbox 360, in a telephone interview last week. "Now you don't have to manage two separate groups of friends online."Microsoft and Sony are battling to dominate the high end of the console gaming market. (Nintendo, by contrast, is appealing largely to families and more budget-conscious players.) In years past, game consoles stood out from one another mostly by their game offerings. But now it appears that top game publishers like Electronic Arts will release most of their biggest games for both the Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.As a result, Microsoft and Sony are attempting to differentiate their game machines with other features, like film playback capabilities and online services.Microsoft has been ahead of Sony in online console game-playing, but last month Sony announced that it was developing a new Internet service called PlayStation Home that could surpass some elements of Xbox Live.

高一英语报纸第23期作文
高一英语报纸第23期作文The Importance of Learning English in the Modern WorldIn today's increasingly globalized and interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively in English has become a crucial skill for individuals seeking personal and professional success. As the lingua franca of international business, diplomacy, and academia, English has emerged as the dominant language of global communication, opening doors to a wealth of opportunities for those who have mastered its nuency. This essay will explore the multifaceted benefits of learning English and why it has become an indispensable asset in the modern world.One of the primary advantages of learning English is the enhanced access it provides to a vast array of information and resources. With English being the most widely used language on the internet, a significant portion of online content, including academic journals, news articles, and educational materials, is available in English. This allows individuals proficient in the language to stay informed, conduct research, and expand their knowledge base more efcientlythan those who are limited to resources in their native tongue. Furthermore, the ubiquity of English in the digital age has made it easier for people to connect with others around the world, fostering cross-cultural exchange and collaboration.In the realm of education, the ability to communicate in English has become increasingly important. Many of the world's top universities and research institutions use English as the primary language of instruction, making it essential for students seeking to pursue higher education or participate in international academic programs. By mastering English, students can access a broader range of educational opportunities, engage with a diverse community of scholars, and position themselves for success in a globalized academic landscape.Moreover, the proficiency in English has become a highly sought-after skill in the job market. In an increasingly interconnected global economy, multinational corporations and organizations often require their employees to possess strong English communication skills, whether it's for conducting business negotiations, collaborating with international teams, or interacting with clients and customers from around the world. Individuals fluent in English are more likely to be considered for lucrative job opportunities, enjoy greater career mobility, and command higher salaries compared to their non-English-speaking counterparts.Beyond the professional realm, the ability to speak English can also enhance one's personal and social experiences. Traveling to foreign countries becomes more accessible and enjoyable when one can effectively communicate with locals, navigate unfamiliar environments, and immerse oneself in the local culture. Furthermore, the mastery of English can open up a wealth of cultural and artistic experiences, from appreciating literature and cinema in their original form to engaging with international social networks and online communities.Additionally, learning English can have a positive impact on an individual's cognitive development and overall intellectual growth. Studies have shown that bilingualism, including the ability to speak English as a second language, can enhance cognitive exibility, problem-solving skills, and creative thinking. By exposing the brain to multiple linguistic systems, individuals who are proficient in English can develop a greater capacity for abstract reasoning, multitasking, and adaptability – skills that are highly valued in the modern workplace and in various aspects of life.However, it is important to acknowledge that the dominance of English in the global landscape has also raised concerns about linguistic and cultural homogenization. There are valid arguments that the widespread use of English may lead to the marginalizationof other languages and the erosion of cultural diversity. It is crucial that the learning of English be accompanied by a genuine appreciation and respect for linguistic and cultural pluralism, ensuring that the acquisition of English does not come at the expense of preserving and celebrating the rich linguistic heritage of different regions and communities.In conclusion, the importance of learning English in the modern world cannot be overstated. As the global language of business, education, and communication, proficiency in English opens doors to a wealth of opportunities, from enhanced access to information and resources to increased career prospects and personal growth. While acknowledging the potential risks of linguistic and cultural homogenization, the benefits of mastering English outweigh the drawbacks, making it an invaluable asset for individuals seeking to thrive in the interconnected world of the 21st century. By embracing the learning of English, we can unlock new avenues for personal and professional development, foster cross-cultural understanding, and contribute to the continued progress and prosperity of our globalized society.。

Just a mon block of firewood, one of those thick legs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm.I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter (木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry.As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has e in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise!He tried to find out where that voice had e from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—noone! He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street—and still no one!“Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.”“Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.“Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same faraway little voice.Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin (下巴). “Where did that voice e from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of mon firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling.He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutesnothing; ten minutes—nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on.“Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.1.What did he want to do when he saw the wood?A.To sell it to make money.B.To use it to keep warm.C.To make a leg of a table.D.To treat it as his child.2.The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.A.hit B.fought C.shook D.rose3.How did the man’s feelings change?A.Happy–nervous–surprised.B.Happy–surprised–frightened.C.Frightened–happy–surprised.D.Frightened–surprised–brave.4.Which is the right order of what happened in the story?a.

Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing this desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean, she said sadly to herself.”At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river. ” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “A breeze can fly, but I can’t.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.”Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for the success, you should also change the way you are.6.The little stream planned to reach ________.A.the forest B.the river C.the ocean D.the desert7.At first, the little stream didn’t accept the desert’s advice because ________.A.she failed many times B.she was afraid of the natureC.she wasn’t able to change her nature D.she wouldn’t change the way she was8.From the passage, we know that the stream ________ in the end.A.crossed the desert B.stopped her journeyC.failed to reach the ocean D.disappeared in the air03(2022·江苏·宿迁青华中学九年级阶段练习)根据短文内容,用括号内所给词的正确时态或形式填空使短文完整。

It was born from an embryo (胚胎) carried by a surrogate(代孕) mother,” said Wang Jidong, the CEO of Sinogene."Garlic has been verified(证实的) as a cloned cat by a thirdparty verification organization, and is currently in a good condition."The birth of the kitten is the result of a cloning program that began last August. Chen Dayuan, a researcher from the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the technology developed by the pany has a high success rate: one cloned kitten from four implanted surrogates.It’s rare(罕见的) for cats to be successfully cloned, said Shi Zhensheng, a professor from the Veterinary Medicine College at China Agricultural University. Cats have unique reproductive characteristics, whichmake them difficult to clone.

He or she picks up a book, and you feel like you’re holding the book as well. You can shake hands or give your friend a high five, even though you’re apart.A pair of special gloves might make this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have made gloves that can recreate the sense of touch. They call this haptic device(触觉装置)a “soft skin stretch device” (SSD).The SSD works like this: One user’s gloves create 3D force signals when they touch something. The signals are sent to the other user’s gloves, which vibrate(震动)to create the same force that the first user is experiencing. This allows the second user to experience the same sense of touch.The SSD allows you to feel force, vibration and change. “It is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, one of the researchers who created the gloves.Haptic technology is already being widely used. For example, the track pads(触控板)in laptops use vibration to make it feel like you’re clicking a real mouse. However, it is difficult to recreate the sense of touch in virtual(虚拟的)environments or outside, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead researcher of the SSDproject. The SSD is special because it has a high level of sensitivity(敏感)even when it is used continuously. This makes it feel more practical.The SSD could be used in medical practice. Two doctors in different places could work together during an operation(手术)—one touches the patient’s organs(器官)with the SSD while the other doctor feels the same sensation(感觉)and pletes the operation.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

To solve the problem caused by it in modern working life, he came up with a great idea— the twolegged chair, which is to encourage the user to move at his or her desk.The chair just has two legs and needs the user to balance (平衡)it. Although it looks dangerous, it can stop people from felling while using it. But the chair is a little unfortable, as the user has to keep it balanced. It is also good for other parts of the body, just like an exercise ball(姿势)._________ Most people don’t get much exercise during the day. People watch a lot of TV and work on puters. Many people suffer from spine (脊椎)problems. panies are ing up with new products in our houses to make our lives easier. But trying to offer people an easier life causes lots of health problems.According to Benoit, the design is not about making money in the furniture (家具)market.

The different tastes in the cans can then mix to create tastes similar to those being shown on screen, for example, coffee or pizza.It is an experimental technology, produced by Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan, with its developers expecting a mercial version to cost about £650.Japanese professor Miyashita and 30 students have developed all kinds of taste types. In his version the 10 taste cans spray a mixture of samples on to a roll of hygienic (卫生的) film that is placed over a flat TVscreen.“During the COVID19, this kind of technology can improve the way people connect and municate with the outside world,” said Miyashita.“The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restauranton the other side of the world, even while at home,” he said.Miyashita has also been in talks with panies about using his spray technology for applications like a device that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a piece of toasted bread.14.The passage tells us the invention of _________.A.tasty cans B.TV cook showsC.a film technology D.a lickable TV screen15.Paragraph 3 talks about_________.A.what the device includes B.how the device worksC.what the device is called D.why the device is invented16.The writer uses what Miyashita says to express the _________ of the invention.A.ways B.purpose C.conditions D.importance17.From the passage, we know that the device is _________.A.widely used now B.popular with the JapaneseC.still in experiment D.liked by restaurant owners04(2022·湖北·武汉外国语学校(武汉实验外国语学校)模拟预测)Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from it. Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu (青蒿素).This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach. They went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2, 000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.One remedy, which is 1, 600 years old, uses the sweet wormwood (青蒿) plant to treat malaria. Tu found it effective and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to make drugs. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a lowtemperature method to extract the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out thatqinghaosu was safe. All patients in the tests recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the firstline treatment for malaria remended by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives in China and other countries throughout the world.In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit (荣誉). Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once proudly said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”18.According to the passage, to find an effective drug called qinghaosu is ________.A.impossible B.uneasy C.unexpected D.plicated19.What do we know about the “qinghaosu”?A.It is extracted from the sweet wormwood plant at roomtemperature.B.TuYouyou and her team spent three years finding it out.C.Tu and all her teammates volunteered to test it on themselves.D.It has saved millions of lives around the world.20.The underlined word “approach” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.idea B.way C.discussion D.drug21.We can find that Tu Youyou ________.A.took all the credit by herself B.did a lot and never gave upC.succeeded in curing malaria by accident D.won the Nobel Prize shortly after the success 22.We can infer that the writer’s writing purpose is to ________.A.praise traditional solution in China B.encourage young people to learn medicineC.show how the qinghaosu treats malaria D.make Chinese old remedies more popular05Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat miniprogram called “Clear Plate”. ___23___ a meal, users can open the miniprogram and take a photo of their ___24___ plates.

While most financial advisers prioritize their clients’ futur es, there are some who direct their clients towards bad investments in return for backdoor payments and hidden fees. That’s why earlier this week the President announced that he is calling on the Department of Labor to update rules to protect families from conflicts of interest by requiring financial advisers to put their clients’ best interest before their own profits.The President emphasized his promise to keep fighting for this policy and for others that benefit millions of working and middle class Americans.Hi everybody. In America, we believe that a lifetime of hard work and responsibility should be rewarded with a shot at a secure, dignified retirement. It’s one of the critical components of middle-class life – and this week, I took new steps to protect it.Six years after the crisis that shook a lot of people’s faith in a secure retirement, our economy is steadily growing. Last year was the best year for job growth since the 1990s. All told, over the past five years, the private sector has added nearly 12 million new jobs. And since I took office, the stock market has more than doubled, replenishing the 401(k)s of millions of families.But while we’ve come a long way, we’ve got more work to do to make sure that our recovery reaches more Americans, not just those at the top. That’s what middle-class economics is all about—the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everybody does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.That last part—making sure everyone plays by the same set of rules—is why we passed historic Wall Street Reform and a Credit Card Bill of Rights. It’s why we created a new consumer watchdog agency. And it’s why we’re taking new action to protect hardworking families’ retireme nt security. If you’re working hard and putting away money, you should have the peace of mind that the financial advice you’re getting is sound and that your investments are protected.But right now, there are no rules of the road. Many financial advisers put their clients’ interest first –but some financial advisers get backdoor payments and hidden fees in exchange for steering people into bad investments. All told, bad advice that results from these conflicts of interest costs middle-class and working families about $17 billion every year.This week, I called on the Department of Labor to change that – to update the rules and require that retirement advisers put the best interests of their clients above their own financial interests. Middle-class families cannot afford to lose their hard earned savings after a lifetime of work. They deserve to be treated with fairness and respect. And that’s what this rule would do.While many financial advisers support these basic safeguards to prevent abuse, I know some special interests will fight this with everything they’ve got.But while we welcome differentp erspectives and ideas on how to move forward, what I won’t accept is the notion that there’s nothing we can do to make sure that hard-working, responsible Americans who scrimp and save can retire with security and dignity.We’re going to keep pushing for this rule, because it’s the right thing to do for our workers and for our country. The strength of our economy rests on whether hard-working families can not only share in America’s success, but can also contribute to America’s success.And that’s what I wil l never stop fighting for –an economy where everyone who works hard has the chance to get ahead.Text 2Planet of the phonesThe smartphone is ubiquitous, addictive and transformative THE dawn of the planet of the smartphones came in January 2007, when St eve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, in front of a rapt audience of Apple acolytes, brandished a slab of plastic, metal and silicon not much bigger tha n a Kit Kat. “This will change everything,” he promised. For once there was no hyperbole. Just eight years later Apple’s iPhone exemplifies the early 21st century’s defining technology.Smartphones matter partly because of their ubiquity. They have become the fastest-selling gadgets in history, outstripping the growth of the simple mobile phones that preceded them. They outsell personal computers four to one. T oday about half the adult population owns a smartphone; by 2020, 80% will. Smartphones have also penetrated every aspect of daily life. The average American is buried in one for over two hours every day. Asked which media they would miss most, British teenagers pick mobile devices over TV sets, PCs and games consoles. Nearly 80%of smartphone-owners check messages, news or other services within 15 minutes of getting up. About 10% admit to having used the gadget during sex.The bedroom is just the beginning. Smartphones are more than a convenient route online, rather as cars are more than engines on wheels and clocks are not merely a means to count the hours. Much as the car and the clock did in their time, so today the smartphone is poised to enrich lives, reshape entire industries and transform societies—and in ways that Snapchatting teenagers cannot begin to imagine.Phono sapiensThe transformative power of smartphones comes from their size and connectivity. Size makes them the first truly personal computers. The phone takes the processing power of yesterday’s supercomputers—even the most basic model has access to more number-crunching capacity than NASA had when it put men on the Moon in 1969—and applies it to ordinary human interactions. Because transmitting data is cheap this power is available on the move. Since 2005 the cost of delivering one megabyte wirelessly has dropped from $8 to a few cents. It is still falling. The boring old PC sitting on your desk does not know much about you. But phones travel around with you—they know where you are, what websites you visit, whom you talk to, even how healthy you are.The combination of size and connectivity means that this knowledge can be shared and aggregated, bridging the realms of bits and atoms in ways that are both professional and personal. Uber connects available drivers to nearby fares at cheaper prices; Tinder puts people intouch with potential dates. In future, your phone mightrecommend a career c hange or book a doctor’s appointment to treat your heart murmur before you know anything is amiss.As with all technologies, this future conjures up a host of worries. Some, such as “text neck” (hunching over a smartphone stresses the spine) are surely transient. Others, such as dependency—smartphone users exhibit “nomophobia” when they happen to find themselves empty-handed—are a measure of utility as much as addiction. After all, people also hate to be without their wheels or their watch.The greater fear is over privacy. The smartphone turns the person next to you into a potential publisher of your most private or embarrassing moments. Many app vendors, who know a great deal about you, sell data without proper disclosure; mobile-privacy policies routinely rival “Hamlet” for length. And if leaked documents are correct, GCHQ, Britain’s signals-intelligence agency, has managed to hack a big vendor of SIM cards in order to be able to listen in to people’s calls. If spooks in democracies are doing this sort of thing, you can be sure that those in authoritarian regimes will, too. Smartphones will give dictators unprecedented scope to spy on and corral their unwilling subjects.The naked appYet three benefits weigh against these threats to privacy. For a start, the autocrats will not have it all their own way. Smartphones are the vehicle for bringing billions more people online. The cheapest of them now sell for less than $40, and prices are likely to fall even further. The same phones that allow governments to spy on their citizens also record the brutality of officials and spread information and dissenting opinions. They feed the demand for autonomy and help protest movements tocoalesce. A device that hands so much power to the individual has the potential to challenge authoritarianism.The second benefit is all those personal data which companies are so keen on. Conventional social sciences have been hampered by the limited data sets they could collect. Smartphones are digital census-takers, creating a more detailed view of society than has ever existed before and doing so in real time. Governed by suitable regulations, anonymised personal data can be used, among many other things, to optimise traffic flows, prevent crime and fight epidemics.The third windfall is economic. Some studies find that in developing countries every ten extra mobile phones per 100 people increase the rate of growth of GDP-per-person by more than one percentage point—by, say, drawing people into the banking system. Smartphones will remake entire industries, at unheard-of speed. Uber is a household name, operating in 55 countries, but has yet to celebrate its fifth birthday. WhatsApp was founded in 2009, and already handles 10 billion more messages a day than the SMS global text-messaging system. The phone is a platform, so startups can cheaply create an app to test an idea—and then rapidly go global if people like it. That is why it will unleash creativity on a planetary scale.By their nature, seminal technologies ask hard questions of society, especially as people adapt to them. Smartphones are no different. If citizens aren’t protected from prying eyes, some will suffer and others turn their backs. Societies will have to develop new norms and companies learn how to balance privacy and profit. Governments will have to define what is acceptable. But in eight short years smartphones have changed the world—and they have hardly begun.。
