Laurence Boswell.B“Hi Dave, how are you today? Just thought Id let you know what Im doing,” the e-mail would read. Or “Sorry youre going. Ive had a good time and that would probably have had something to do with you, so thanks.”In some ways, the relaxed attitude was shocking, says Melville. But it was a sign of how students understanding of their role has changed. “They have a more independent view of the university, and they feel free to comment,” said Melville.A committee, led by Melville, was set up earlier this year to explore the change in students attitudes towards teachers.“This is something being driven by young people,” said Melville. “They live surrounded by different kinds of electronic resources. They use social networking tools and things like Wikipedia. The first group of these students is now at university.”Students do not regard teaching staff in the same way as previous students did. “Because Web 2.0, Google, Wikipedia are all about being able to change things yourself, students expect to be able to do this as well,” said Melville.There have been other changes in the student-teacher relationship. If students choose to study through a social networking group, they are in control. They dont always make staff welcome, and they are free to decide which staff members they allow in. “Almost everybody who gets into using these kinds of technologies, it appears, becomes much shallower in their research,” said Melville.4. Who is Dave most probably in the first paragraph?A. a high school studentB. a university studentC. a teacherD. an online pen friend5. We can find the following changes in the student-teacher relationship EXCEPT _.A. it becomes much more relaxed than beforeB. students are more at ease to commentC. students have the say in choosing teachers to welcome into their social groupD. teachers are no longer regarded as knowledgeable and necessary6. What is the change in attitudes rooted in according to Melville?A. The first group of students at university.B. The electronic resources.C.The society.D. Wikipedia.7. What may be the disadvantages of using the technologies?A. Students have more information resources besides from teachers.B. Technologies keep them from doing deep research.C. Teachers cannot control or influence their students at all.D. Students spend too much time on online games.CSandra Bullock turned 51 last month. But because she looks exactly the same as she did in Miss Congeniality, a movie filmed back in the 20th century, everyone calls her “ageless.” Bullock is just one of a number of stars in their 40s and 50s whove had birthdays recently but have not gotten older, unlike the rest of us in their age group. Halle Berry, for example. One website put a photo of her 20 years ago next to one of the newly 49-year-old Berry and dared us to choose which was which. “This Is What 49 Looks Like,” it said. Seriously, if thats what 49 looks like, I must be 71.However, even a generation ago, famous faces evolved. Look at a picture of Grace Kelly at age 52 in the early 1980s. She looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman. Today shed look old for her age.The goal now is to prevent aging while you are still young, using all the magical nonsurgical options medicine has to offer. Eventually these techniques will become less expensive, and ordinary people of my daughters age will have them. Already anti-aging is starting to be considered maintenance, like coloring your hair. My friends and I find ourselves openly debating techniques that we used to make fun of. Does fat-freezing work? How much time do you have to spend in the gym to keep the body of a 35-year-old after 50? Its all so exhausting. But members of the next generation have it tougher. Theyll have to ask themselves whether they want to spend their youth trying not to get old. Ive already seen “Sexy at 70” headlines. Will everyone be expected to go to their graves looking hot?I also have to wonder what else we are slowing along with age. How do you move on if youre working so hard to stay the same? And besides, if youve known the ache of watching a daughter pack up for college, you know you cant stop the clock. 8. In the authors eyes, Sandra Bullock _.A. doesnt deserve her fameB. doesnt look her age at allC. behaves like a young woman D. looks younger than Halle Berry9. The example of Grace Kelly is given to show _.A. physical beauty never lasts longB. there is no such thing as agelessnessC. peoples attitude towards aging has changedD. stars pay too much attention to their appearance10. Where do the authors concerns about anti-aging techniques lie?A. They expose people to danger.B. They make people feel stressed.C. They are too expensive for ordinary people.D. They encourage comparisons among people.11. Whats the purpose of the text?A. To show the burden of youth. B. To offer tips on how to look hot.C. To advise people to accept aging. D. To comment on some famous stars.DITS always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems like the future of computing is about to change dramatically.Magic Leaps preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the companys chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.12Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company?A. The company keeps updating the media on its progress.B. The company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing.C. The company is working on new technology that could improve the future of computing.D. The companys newly released video is about the interaction between a dragonpet and its user.13. What could a classroom in the future look like, according to Magic Leap?A. A miniature 3D man could take the place of teachers.B. Students could interact with virtual reality animals.C. Students could be encouraged to raise a virtual reality pet on campus.D. The gaming industry could be invited to help students improve their studies.14. How could Magic Leaps technology change the world according to the article?A. It could discourage people from playing a lot of computer games.B. It could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users.C. It could help people improve their ability to interact with others.D. It could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.15. What is Googles attitude toward the technology named “Cinematic Reality”?A. Optimistic. B. Negative.C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有两个选项为多余选项)。For the love of reading The importance of nurturing (培养) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.Read aloud. A six-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds.16 Using texts above the childrens levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.Encourage close reading from the youngest age.17 Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you dont know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas.18Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hiphooray (欢呼)” moments.Honor each childs unique identity.Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. 19 “I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each persons reading choices matter.20A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.A. Make the journey a celebration.B. Hand them a pen when it is necessary.C. We can do this by asking them questions.D. Name what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.E. Young children can read early and should be reading all year.F. It is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words.G. The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.第三部分语言知识与运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后面各题所给的四个选项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。My wood-shop teacher, Mr. August J.
