12、s and multi-media websites.Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technologygood old paperthat has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media websites m

13、ay seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped (炒作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries th

14、at Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for students that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Web-linked, e-learning environment and while its true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential

15、benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects.In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight probl

16、em, and the shocking costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I cant help but wonder what parallels exi

This was a world in the midst of the Lit

21、tle Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16 century? For sta

22、rters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot. Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s, Earths climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions. Other studies predict that ongoing climat

23、e change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 200. Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the1800s, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times. Either way, tool-wielding humans alte

24、r their environment and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed.Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale. In other words, well become a s

Furthermore, theyll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate.Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s, and this pace will likely conti

26、nue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moores Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the wo

Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs a

32、ll over the globeand Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years agosuperconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the ele

33、ctrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conduc

The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curi

It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269 with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientis

36、ts, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of expe

41、ary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王权) as Emperor of Fra

42、nce in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other va

43、luable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century BCand were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the

44、 nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese pal

45、ace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasnt troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening h

46、is tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conquerors anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green mounta

47、ins of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.1、What did the author do for the visit to Elba?AHe did research on its past.BHe arranged transportation.CHe planned bicycling routes.DHe booked accommodation.2、Who might be the e

49、Elba.BTerrible living conditions on Elba.CNapoleons ambition to regain power.DHardship of Napoleons return to France.25（10分） The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tast

50、efully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Ec

51、onomist?Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artif

52、icial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider so

53、me of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (ok

54、ay, thats not at all surprising).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual in

55、come of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the wome

56、ns liberation movementcontinue to enjoy themselves in the fanciful tales?Im not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (e

57、arly 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were al

58、so very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peersthat is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens an

59、d expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get los

60、t in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,_.1、What is the function of the opening paragraph?ATo summarize the whole passage.BTo prove the authors argument.CTo lead in the main topic of the passage.DTo raise problems that will be solved later.2、What does the underlined
