He moved back east and spent nine years lobbying (游说） to create Alaska’s first national park. When to VisitTo avoid the crowds, visit in June, but keep in mind that there are up to 21 hours of sunlight in Alaska in summer. If it seems like a bit much for your taste, try visiting in late August or September. If you visit to climb Mount McKinley, May and early June are the best times to climb. Major AttractionsIt is difficult not to see Denali’s largest attraction towering 20,320 feet high. Mount McKinley can even be seen up to 70 miles away on a clear day. If you brave the climb to the top, you will be rewarded with charming views of the Alaska Range. Sable Pass is a prime spot to view grizzly bears. Closed to off-road foot traffic, the area is popular for bears feeding on berries, roots, and even occasionally on other mammals. Beginning at just below the summit of Mount McKinley, Muldrow Glacier flows 35 miles through a gorge and across the tundra. Twice in the last hundred years, the Muldrow has surged (涌动）， most recently in the winter of 1956-1957. AccommodationFive campgrounds are located within the park, and many are open from late spring to early fall.Note: reservations are strongly recommended during summer. Riley Creek campground is open all year round, and all but two (Sanctuary and Wonder Lake) offer RV(可供居住的大篷车） sites. Also within the park are a few lodges (旅馆）—North Face Lodge, Denali Backcountry Lodge and Kentishna Roadhouse. 2. Charles Sheladon spent nine years lobbying to create Alaska’s first national park in order to . A. provide a place for people to enjoy nature B.obtain some benefits C.protect the natural landscape D.make good use of the land 3. What can you see in the park, according to the passage? ①Mount McKinley ②bears ③various mammals ④Sable Pass ⑤Toklat River ⑥Muldrow Glacier A.①②③④⑤⑥ B.①②③④⑥ C.①②③⑤⑥ D.①②④⑤⑥ 23.Which of the following offers RV sites? A.Riley Creek campground. B.Wonder Lake campground. C.North Face Lodge. D.Kentishna Roadhouse. BA machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water. Since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1000 people have drunk others’ “sweat” in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water. The device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water. The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR. “It uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),” he told the BBC. “We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces
depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful.” The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations. “People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,” Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.” 24．Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine? A. It takes too long for the machine to produce water. B. The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited. C. It costs a large amount of money to build the machine. D. The water processed by the machine is not clean enough. 25．UNICEF is mentioned in the text to . A. show how the sweat machine works B. explain why the sweat machine was invented C. show the importance of the United Nations D. tell us who invented the sweat machine 26．What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine? A. It could only be used in summer. B. It did not work at all. C. It was not worth popularizing. D. The water it produced tasted sweet. 27．The text is written mainly to tell us that . A. a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is invented B. 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water C. a better solution to purifying dirty water is discovered D. the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is produced CIs beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer
on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a disadvantage. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes. 28． In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness . A. makes women look more honest and capable B. strengthens the manly qualities required C. often enables women to succeed quickly D. is of no importance to women 29．Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness . A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men B. has as little effect on men as on women C. affects men and women alike D. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women 30．According to the passage, people’s views on beauty are often . A. practical B. one – sided C. old fashioned D. supportive 31． The passage is mainly about . A. the advantages of being attractive B. the disadvantages of being attractive
C. equal rights for women D. the importance of appearance DAccording to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies. Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left. There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. 32．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Left-handed people are better at speaking B. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains C. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people D. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies 33．Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”? A. valuable B. not typical C. not balanced D. negative 34．What can be inferred from the passage? A. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society B. This is an equal society for the left-handed people
C. Most great geniuses are left-handed D. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled 35． What’s the best title for the passage? A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed? B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones? C. Why are some people left-handed? D. Are left-handed people equally treated in society? 三、阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I learned to do wood work when I was very young.

This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education. Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson
plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics. Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-à-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties. Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加 强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading. Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions. Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation. Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks.
