Annealing is way of making metal
softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated
and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping it in water, it will be
very hard but also very brittle(脆),that
is , it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not
break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wished,
by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain
length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it
becomes. Annealing can also be used on other materials, such as glass.
&12. Annealing can make metal________
A. hard and tough(韧)
B. hard but brittle
C. soft but tough

Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another
language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New
Zealand after 1770. They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there.
They had come from the islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before the 14th
For a long time the British
Government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a
British colony in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in
the new country. More and more
settlers came from Britain later.
The Maoris were friendly to the
first settlers. But soon the new settlers
wanted the Maoris’ land. So in 1844 there was a fighting between
them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next
fifty years was very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many
more died from new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps
200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000
many years, the British new Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. In this
country the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the
Maori language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a
quarter of a million Maris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them
live in North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and

Moscow,
Russia( Space news)----“ The computer is a better chess player,” insisted Viktor Prozorov,
the loser. “it seemed as if it were laughing after every good
move. I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind(为人类着想),

his head sadly.
Prozorov’s disappointment was
shared by several grandmasters who were present, some of whom were so upset
that they shouted at the machine. Many chess players said that this meant the
end of chess championships around the world, since the fun had been taken out

scientists in California now think they can find out a person’s real age. Jeffrey Bada
and Patricia Masters do chemical tests on teeth. When we are born the amino
acids(氨基酸)in
our teeth are in one form. Then, as we grow older, these amino acids change
into a second form. Every year, one thousandth(1/1,000)of the amino acids
change. So, by testing just one tooth and counting the number of amino acids in
each form. Bada and Masters can work out a person’s age. They tested a tooth
from the body of an Eskimo woman who died 1,000 years ago. Form the appearance
of her body she was between 50 and 60 years old when she died. The tooth test
put her age at 53. Then the Russian Government sent them a tooth from an old
woman in Georgia. The tooth test said she was 99. Her real age was 96. The
Russians are now hoping to send more teeth, from the very old people without
birth certificates. But there are problems. Some of the centenarians（百岁老人）have
lost all their teeth. The others want to keep their teeth until they drop out
naturally. So the Russian Government and the American scientists have to wait

“My advice wants me to call
him by his first name,” many foreign graduate students in the U.S. have
just can’t
do it! It doesn’t seem right. I have to show my respect”
On the other hand,
professors have said of foreign students, ”They keep bowing and
saying ‘yes,
sir, yes , sir.” I can hardly stand it! I wish they’d stop being so polite and
just say what they have on their minds.”
Differing ideas about formality
and respect frequently complicate relationships between American professors and
students from abroad, especially Asian students(and most especially female
Asian students). The professors generally prefer informal relationships(sometimes,
but not always, including use of first names rather than of titles
and family names)and a little knowledge of status differences. Many foreign
students are used to more formal relationships and sometimes have difficulty
bringing themselves to speak to their teachers at all, let alone address
them by their given names.
The characteristics of
student-teacher relationships on American campuses change somewhat, depending
on whether the students involved are undergraduate or graduate students, and
depending on the size and nature of the school. Graduate students typically
have more student-teacher relationships are typically even less formal than
they are at larger schools.
To say that student-teacher
relationships are informal is to say that there are no recognized status
differences between the two groups. But students may show their respect mainly
in the vocabulary and tone of voice they use when speaking to teachers. Much of
their behavior around teachers may seem to foreign students to be
disrespectful. American students will eat in class, read newspapers and act
quite informal postures. Teachers might not enjoy such behavior, but they bear
it. Students, after all, are individuals who have the right for themselves how
they are going to act.
&34.American professors think it
________to be addressed by their given names
A. acceptable B.
disrespectful &
C. formal D.
&35.Which of the following statements is
true according to the passage?
foreign students keep informal relationships with teachers
foreign students are straightforward with their teachers.
foreign students prefer to be treated differently by their teachers
foreign students’ politeness makes their American professors
uncomfortable
&36.In the U.S., more formal relationships
are typically expected_______
A. between
professors teaching graduate students
B. between
graduate students at smaller universities
C. between
professors and their students of science
D. between
graduate students and their professors at big universities
&37.The term “status differences” in this passage refers to
the fact that____
students have different age groups
students have different levels of performance
teachers are in a higher position of respect
teachers should change their methods with different
&38.American students behave as they
please in class because their teachers___

It wasn’t just another computer.
It was a marvelous(神奇的)machine,
a whole room full of electronics that controlled all of its own devices, doors,
locks, lights, and air conditioning. Jules was its creator and chief
programmer. He taught it to play chess and programmed it so that it could never
lose. He programmed its huge memory bank with millions of useful items and
facts. It was surely the most intelligent computer in the world.
When it was about
a year old, the computer remained Jules many times of facts he had long
forgotten. It constantly corrected him on difficult problems. The computer got
bored and recognized that it needed better input.
One day the computer flashed a
Give me a better programmer.” Suddenly, every other function of the computer
turned itself off. Jules could not correct the problem. The computer just

Of course he was discouraged and
disappointed, but he also felt hurt and insulted (侮辱的). His own creation was rejecting him as an
inferior intellect(智力低下).Jules
decided to go home to rest. He felt this message: ”Recover from this
malfunction (故障) or
destroy you”.
When Jules returned the next day, the
light was still flashing, “Give me a better programmer.” He tried a simple
command: ”Add four plus four. ”The computer didn’t answer. Angry and
disappointed, he decided to call the demolition crew. The phone was dead. Jules
reached for the emergency(紧急)switch.
It didn’t
Now Jules began to get frightened so he
decided to go to get the crew himself. He moved towards the door. The lights
went out. Jules was furious( 狂怒)and
he shouted at the computer. ”That won’t work. I know every inch
of this room by heart.” He made his way to the door and got even angrier.
It was locked. ’Open the door! ”he screamed, but the
computer did nothing. In the dark room Jules could only see, ”Give me a better
programmer…Give me a better programmer …”
All was dark and quiet. Jules
realised that the computer shut off the air supply. He was slowly suffocating
as it got more difficult to breaths. Then Jules remembered the power supply
pipe. It ran through the wall to the outside. He crawled to it under the main
console(控制台).With
his shoe, he hammered out the SOS signal…The next morning some
telephone linemen heard it. They called the police and fire department. The
computer even interfered(干涉)with
their rescue operations. It sent a high voltage(伏特数)electrical charge through

computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy, fraud(欺诈),and computer-related
mistakes are just a few shocking examples.
computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from
some activities, but it can also cut deeply into profits, personal privacy, and
our society in general. How it is used is not a function of the current

Personal
computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their
Some may use this freedom to share less time with
certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay
in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal
experience.
E-Mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I
now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were,
but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my
young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a
group of friends. Say you do something fun---see a great movie, perhaps---and
there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call
each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With e-mail, you just write one note about your
experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think
might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read
only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can
read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch
with people who live far away.
More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily
touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that
computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t eliminate(排除)any of the old ways.

one time conveniently
B.keep one’s communication as
personal as possible
C.pass on much more information

At one time, I was
convinced that real learning would be at hand if every child had a computer. I
was convinced that computers would revolutionize education and hold immense(巨大的)possibilities
for learning.
That possibility has not become a reality
yet. Based on recent test results, far too many Californian children have not
mastered the basic reading, math, and writing skills necessary to function at
a minimal level in our society. And
far too many children do not have the commitment(行为)to concentrate on learning
to get a good education. These kids need good teachers, not fast computers.
No one will argue that computers
have educational use. Unfortunately, in far too many instances, the classroom
computer has replaced the television set as a game tool to occupy children. One
wonders what is the use of an Internet feed to the classroom if the child does
There are those who believe that
bringing a computer to the classroom will supplement what teachers teach. That
is difficult to comprehend since teachers are always telling us how many
subjects and how little time they have to teach. When a child is occupied with
a computer for any length of time, that child does not get the attention of
teachers and the required learning that should occupy their class time
Educators are now looking into
requiring teachers and students to become computer proficient(精通的).
And districts that do not have enough dollars for textbooks are spending their meager
funds to buy computers and software, all in the name of technology
and computer competency.
One would think that educators would
come to the realization that computers are tools not much different from
libraries, calculators, movie or slide projectors. Kids must still learn and be
inspired to study basic skills, think, write, communicate, solve problems, and
be good citizens.
And while it is good for students
to make use of computers, we must not get carried away with faster and more
powerful computers at the expense of basic skills, effective teaching and
powerful learning.
&106.The writer of this passage argues
that students really need_________
computers B.
teachers C. books in the library D.
games with their classroom
&107.The writer particularly points out a
problem with many children, i.e., they do not have_____
basic skills &

following statements is NOT true?
Computers have educational uses
Computers shouldn’t take the place of
teaching in the classroom
Computers offer games that occupy children’s learning time
Computers help children focus their attention on
&109. The writer’s attitude to educators

Although Beethoven could sit down
and make up music easily, his really great compositions didn’t come easily at all. They
cost him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he rewrote and corrected
his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He
always found it hard to satisfy himself.
he was 28, the worse difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a
strange humming in his ears. At first he p but it grew
worse, and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worse news any
he was gradually going deaf. Beet he
was sure that he was going to die.
&He went away to the country, to a place
called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his
brothers. In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made
It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am deaf,:
he wrote. “ How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one
sense( hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others---I
must live like an exile.” He longed to die, and said to death,: “ Come when you will, I
shall meet you bravely.”
fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and
went o writing music, though he could hear what he wrote only more and more
faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he
became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been
composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier
musicians and had written for their wealthy listeners. Beethoven wrote stormy,
exciting revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous
life. He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his
symphonies the “Eroica” or heroic symphony, “ to celebrate the memory
of a great man.” Describing the dramatic opening notes of his
famous Fifth Symphony, he said, “thus fate knocks on the door.”
time Beethoven went completely deaf, so deaf that he could not hear even the
stormiest parts of his exciting music. But in those years he wrote more
gloriously than ever. He could “hear” his music with his mind , if not with his ears.
His friends had to write down what they wanted to say to him. He was lonely and
often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last
symphony, the Ninth, a choir sings a wonderful Hymn of joy. Because of his
courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given
joy and inspiration to millions of people.
