Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I cant imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businessesprovide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.56. Who thinks that students wont have to go to school?A. Everyone.B. The writer.C. Some people.D. The teachers.57. What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?A. A school with many new computers.B. A school with many new students.C. A school with many new teachers.D. A school connected to the Internet.58. Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?A. Because whole city is connected to the Internet.B. Because everyone can go on the Internet.C. Because getting online is very easy.D. Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet.59. What fact does the passage Not provide? A. Technology will change our way of learning. B. If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology. C. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computersD. On the Internet, you can visit another citys libraries as easily as the people there.BOne day, Soapy Smith and I visited a shelter for badly-treated women located in a deserted section of the city. No one smiled a greeting, and they appeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp (纤弱的小东西) in the background. The staff informed me that she had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent memory. I didnt want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket. As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would come to talk to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didnt reach out to him or encourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.Finally Soapy came to a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a common behavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit. The child did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking. Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped. The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the eye. I held Soapy out to her. She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended (悬挂) from my hands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the childs shoulder. His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapys innocence and trust appeared to arouse those very same qualities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all. 60. The little girl didnt speak any word because _. A. she liked staying silent and still B. she had no friends to talk with C. she had too much hard experience D. the people in the shelter all kept silent 61. What is the correct order of the following events? a. The little girl gave a faint smile. b. Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.c. The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. d. Soapys breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. e. The little girl began to whisper to Soapy. A. c; b; e; d; a B. b; c; d; e; a C. b; c; e; d; a D. c; b; d; e; a 62. The authors purpose of writing the passage is to tell us _. A. a moving story about a lonely girl who hasnt talked for years B. to pay more attention to those children who have been deserted by their parents C. a lot of kind people around us are offering help to those in need D. the heart-to-heart communication between animal and human is powerful63.The best title for this passage may be _. A. Soapy Smith and A Little Girl B. A Great Surprise C. The Language of The Heart D. Human Beings and Animals CMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere inthe world. The courses are flexible normally three to five hours of study a week done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students dont have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UKs answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Courseras partnership, comprising 13 universities. “We already run 50 online masters degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburghs vice-principal. “Its an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? Thats what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, youd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so youve got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they dont carry credits.”Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearns academic lead, goes further: “Weve tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You wont just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each others assignments.”Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "Theres no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.64. MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that _.A. MOOCs are free of charge for anyoneB. MOOCs can be adjusted according to peoples learning paceC. MOOCs provide teachers instructions if you have some difficultyD. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience65. The response to FutureLearn has been thought to be unbelievable mainly because _.A. all the courses on the platform are available to anyone in the worldB. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join itC. the number of people registering in the platform is beyond expectationD. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments 66. What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?A. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.B. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.C. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.D. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to the problems of credits.67. The passage mainly deals with _.A. the various opinions on FutureLearnB. the advantages of online teaching methodsC. the popularity of no-credit coursesD. the appearance of a new learning platformD Now came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the familys only surviving relative lived. It was Sallys relative a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人). As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relatives home and subscribed for the local paper. For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower-pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.“Thirty thousand dollars!”All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally
