(A)
In a class this past December, after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”
“I can‟t read read my own handwriting,”my own handwriting,” the young woman 
explained. “It‟s b est if I take best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”
That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn‟t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to 
record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively. 
Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking? 
Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information —it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesn‟t mean it‟s out of of date. date. date. Writing Writing things things down down down engages engages engages a a a student‟s student‟s student‟s br br brain ain ain in in in listening, listening, listening, visual, visual, visual, and and kinesthetic (触觉的)

A. had the bad handwriting 
B. miss ed the teachers‟ directions
C. took a picture of the board 
D. disturbed other students‟ learning
67. According to the passage, which of the following may NOT explain students‟ reluctance to take notes? 
A. They lack proper techniques for taking notes. 
B. They want to listen more attentively in class. 
C. They believe smart phones are much safer for storing notes. 
D. They want to have the exact version of the notes on the board.

A. requires students to think independently

C. proves to be an old and useless learning method 
D. seems unsuitable for students to learn new ideas 
69. What is the main idea of this passage? 
A. The traditional way of note-taking should be replaced. 
B. A modern way of note-taking is catching on. 
C. Note-taking by hand is not out of date.

themselves. I imagine children must be rather relieved to be thrown out, for in the process of being cared for, he or she is reluctantly carried about in a hide sling (背婴儿带) wherever the mother goes. Whenever the
mother is in her field, she loosens the sling and lets the baby to the ground none too slowly, and laughs if it is hurt. Then she goes about her business, leaving the child there, almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off. This sometimes happens. Such behaviour does not endear children to their
parents or parents to their children.

Several years back, when I was CEO at Autodesk, there was a very senior-level woman who was very smart and well-spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, “You need to tell her.” He said, “Oh, no way.”
So I called her in and frankly stated what I thought was happening. I told her, “You‟re not getting the respect you deserve.” I said, “Go and get a personal shopper. Just say, …I‟m a senior businessp erson and need 
help dressing appropriately‟”. She came back, and honest to God, it was a different person. She said she felt really good. And her promotion went way up. 
Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I‟d try to answer it honest ly. And that was 
rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening. Questions:
11. Why did the speaker have a talk with the senior-level woman? 
12. What made the speaker popular with the managers? 
13. What is the passage mainly about? 
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news. Agricultural experts say crop variety is important to feed the increasing population of our planet. They say having a large variety of plants also helps to protect against possible crop diseases and future crises. 
Hundreds of thousands of different plants now exist. But many experts say the number has decreased sharply during the past century. 
One of the world's largest seed conservation projects has predicted further losses. Experts warn that up to one hundred thousand plant species could permanently disappear. The rich collection of genes that decide their qualities would disappear with them. 
Many experts blame climate change and loss of normal growth area for damaging plant life. They say human activities and poorly planned, overly heavy use of land also are responsible.

agriculture. Some experts say the use of modern commercial farming methods saved millions of people from starvation. Farmers planted, watered, and fertilized their crops with the help of machines. They treated their fields with chemicals to control insects and diseases. Harvests grew larger and higher quality, but another result was that some traditional crops were lost. 
A not-for-profit group based in USA was established in 1975 to save and share high quality seeds. It also works to educate people about the need for genetic variety. 
Questions:
14. Why is crop variety important? 
15. Which of the following is not the cause of the damage to plant life? 
16. Besides saving seeds, what action is being taken to prevent the loss of crop variety?
