It is a phenomenon that is a

20、ttracting the attention of some childhood development specialists.Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kesley, then barely 2 years old, held her husbands iPhone. “She pressed the button and it lit up. I just remember her eyes. It was like Whoa!” The paren

21、ts were charmed by their daughters fascination. But then, said Ms. Sykes, “She got serious about the phone.” Kelsey would ask for it. Then shed cry for it. “It was like shed always want the phone.” Ms. Sykes said.Apple, the iPhones designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so simp

22、le and intuitive(直观的) that even technologically confused adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that expert children would follow. Tap a picture on the screen and something happens. What could be more fun? Many iPhones on the market are aimed directly at preschooolers, many of the

23、m labeled “educational,” such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or a square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which broadcasts live video of animals at zoos around the world. There are “flash cards” aimed at teaching children to read and spell, and a “Wheels on the Bus” pro

24、gram that sings the popular songs in the multiple languages. Then theres the new iGo Potty(go to the toilet) program, with automated phone calls reminding toddlers that its time to “go”.Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilt

25、y. They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long advised parents not to let their children watch any TV until they are past their second birthday.Jane M. Healy, an educational psychologist in Vail, Colo. said

26、, “Any parent who thinks a spelling program is educational for that age is missing the whole idea of how the preschool brain grows. What children need at that age is the whole body movements, the skills of playing lots of objects and not some difficult technology. They re not learning to read by lin

27、ing up the letters in the wordcat. Theyre learning to read by understanding language, by listening.”41. The main purpose of Kelsey referred to in the passage is to _.A. show not only adults but children are crazy about iPhonesB. encourage people to buy this toy for their childrenC. advertise for the

The underlined words “its time togo” in Paragraph 3 mean _.A. its time to stop playing the toy B. its time to go to sleepC. its time to go to the washroom D. its time to go home43. The parents asking their young children to play iPhones feel guilty becau

29、se _.A. they know the toy has a negative effect on themB. the children damage the toyC. they are not sure of the real effect of the toyD. they ask their children to watch live video of animals44. In Janes mind, in educating preschoolers parents should _.A. buy this toy for their childrenB. ask their

30、 children to learn a spelling programC. ask their children to play as many toys as possibleD. know how the preschool brain growsBNEWS 1President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy said at the third Africa-EU Summit on Monday that the EU will continue to assume its responsibilities to aid Afri

31、cas full economic growth.Van Rompuy, co-chairman of the summit, said Africa has the worlds greatest potential, however, Africas development to its full potential can not be done through foreign aid alone, but through both domestic growth and more international cooperation, and EU will continue to as

32、sume its responsibilities in this regard.He noted that EU remains committed to increasing its aid spending to reach the collective target of 0.7 percent of gross national income by 2015.NEWS 2APRIL 26 is the World Intellectual Property Day, and international attention is again focused on the global

33、campaign to fight counterfeiting(冒牌货) and copyright violations(违反).Two weeks ago, the US filed complaints against China with the World Trade Organization, alleging that China is not doing enough to protect intellectual property rights(IPR). Other developing countries face similar pressure from devel

34、oped countries over IPR issues.Intellectual property is divided into two categories. One is industrial property, which includes inventions, trademarks and industrial designs. The other is copyrighted property, which includes literary and artistic works.45. Whats the main idea of NEWS 1?A. The third

35、Africa-EU summit. B. EU continues to help Africa.C. Africas economy will grow quickly. D. The worlds greatest potential continent.46. According to Van Rompuy, we can know _.A.

37、The fight against counterfeiting and copyright violations.B. The fight for counterfeiting and copyright violations.C. Americas complaints against China.D. The global campaign to protect intellectual property.CThe U.S. Department of Labor satistics(统计) show that there is an oversupply of college trai

38、ned workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The re

39、sult is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have

40、 more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college students. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situ

41、ation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating(灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers pla

42、y their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollment(入学)

43、 go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them drop out wit

44、hin the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.49. Its implied but not stated in the passage that _.A. many other countries are facing the same problemB. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workersC. fewer students will prefer to go t

45、o college in the future.D. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education50. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?A. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.B. Many parents want their children t

46、o go to college.C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college.D. Every young man and woman wants to go to college.51. By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that _.A. many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB. many p

47、eople who do not have enough money go to collegeC. many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed52. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _.A. every young man and woman should go to collegeB. college educ

48、ation is a bad thingC. people with a college education should receive higher payD. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobsDBlind photography sounds strange. But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the conte

49、mporary art. The show “Sight Unseen” , at the California Museum of the Photography until Aug. 29, includes everything: underwater scenes, landscapes, abstracts and everything else you might expect from a “sighted” photographer.How do the blind take their photographs? Some rely on assistants to set u

50、p and then describe the shots(镜头), and others just point and shoot in the right place, “Just like any good artists.” Says McCulloh, “they have their unique ways of operating.” One participating photographer is Pete Eckert, an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to ph

51、otography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s. He opens the shutter(快门) on his camera and then uses flashlights, lights and candles to paint his scene on film. A former fashion photographer in Chicago, Weston lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disabilit

52、y. His photos are also a star of the show.When do gallery-goers say? “I was very impressed by it. The technique and experience was amazingly different.” says John Hesketh, a printmaker in Anaheim. “You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because theyve worked very hard to prove thei

53、r value.”Beyond the praise, however , the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere. That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show. At the very end of the talk, one attendee, expressed his opinion, “This exhibition is extraordinary and revolution

54、ary for many reasons. I think that by being an artist with disability, you are continuing the work if those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain success and to have a voice. In that way, its so wonderful that your photographs say it all.”53. We can learn from the passage that blind photo

55、graphers _.A. were not born blind B. do jobs related to artC. focus on different subjects D. like photos of destruction54.
