218793. (2023•西安六中•高一下一月) How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
For some parents,the Internet can seem like a jungle,filled with danger for their children.But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides,some education,and a few precautions (预防措施),the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (航行)."Kids have to be online.If we tell our kids they can't have access (机会) to the Internet,we're cutting them off from their future,"said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines.Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites,and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go.There are search engines designed just for kids.A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe.The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a"content screener (过滤器)".But this can't be wholly reliable (可靠),and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet.Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing (浏览) the Internet.
A few other tips
?Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things.That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
?Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.
?Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information,especially like address and phone number.
?And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet online over the phone,send them anything,accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

202994. (2017•西安一中•一模) ONE day I saw a TV advertisement.A couple-she in a black dress,he in a super-stylish shirt and tie-was enjoying a candlelit (烛光的) meal accompanied by romantic music.The location?Pizza Hut.I nearly choked on my tea.
"What?!"I laughed to my Chinese friend."Pizza Hut is trying to be all gourmet(美食的)and fashionable?!"My friend looked confused."But Pizza Hut is fashionable,"she said."You go there for a special meal."
In China,chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool.Going to Starbucks,for example,is a status symbol.It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan(见多识广的)enough to be part of globalization."
Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet.Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere are neither fashionable nor gourmet.Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing."I'm hungry!"any longer.In my own case(with regards to McDonald's),a chain is where you are taken on your first"date".Even at the age of 13,I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day.
In the UK,independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.Nowadays,a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"(an independent café) is much cooler than one says"let's go to Starbucks",Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
Of course,there are chain stores all over the UK;you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee.But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do,however,have a confession.After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated to McDonald's.Even so,I would never describe my Big Mac as"haute cuisine."

(1)Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because        
A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE?        
A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B.Branches of Monmouth's café can be found all over the UK.
C.Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the Uk.
D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
(3)What does the underlined word"haute cuisine"in the last paragraph mean?        
A.high-class cookery
B.expensive cookers
C.delicious food
D.a fashionable tradition
(4)What is the main point of the article?        
A.The difference between Chinese food and the western food.
B.The comeback of independent cafes and restaurants in the UK
C.What makes chain restaurants gourmet and fashionable both in China and the UK.
D.The different attitudes towards chain restaurants of Chinese and British people.

202996. (2017•西安一中•一模) The following passage is adapted from the writings of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
Any scientist who is not a pretender will admit the important part that luck plays in scientific discovery.A colleague and I carried out an experiment in which little tissue fragments(组织碎片),which were very difficult to work with,were injected into mice of different DNA strains.If we had been more experienced,we would have injected only white blood cells (which would have been easier to handle) into the mice.We now know that if we had done this,we would not have made the discovery.Obviously,we were lucky,but our scientific training enabled us to recognize the significance of the accident.
It might nevertheless seem as if luck plays a significant role in scientific discovery.However,I would like to challenge this view for the following reasons:we sometimes describe as"lucky"a person who wins a prize in a lottery at long odds;but if we describe such an event as luck,what word shall we use to describe the accidental discovery of a lottery ticket that turns out to be the winning one just on a park bench?
The two cases are quite different.A person who buys a lottery ticket is putting himself or herself in the way of winning a prize.This individual has,so to speak,purchased candidacy(候选资格)for such a turn of events and all the rest is a matter of mathematical probabilities.So it is with scientists.A scientist is anyone who,by observations and experiments conducted,by the literature read,and even by the company kept,puts himself or herself in the way of making a discovery.These individuals,by deliberate action,have enormously enlarged their awareness-their candidacy for good fortune-and will now take into account evidence of a kind that a beginner or a casual observer would probably overlook or misinterpret.
Nearly all successful scientists have emphasized the importance of preparedness of mind,and I want to emphasize that this preparedness of mind is worked for and paid for by a great deal of effort and reflection.If these efforts lead to a discovery,then I think it would be inappropriate to credit such a discovery to luck.

(1)The outcome of the experiment described in paragraph one suggests that        
A.luck play an insignificant part in scientific discovery
B.the injection of only while blood cells allowed the two scientists to make their discovery
C.It was difficult to inject little tissue fragments into mice of different DNT strains
D.the scientists concerned in the experiment were able to benefit from luck
(2)The author uses the example of the lottery winner in order to suggest that        
A.blind luck occurs more frequently than people realize
B.luck plays a more important part in most events than people realize
C.luck is not the correct term to use when referring to a significant scientific discovery
D.luck is the best word to be used to describe the accidental discovery in science
(3)The author implies that a scientist achieves"candidacy for good fortune"by        
A.making careful and repeated mathematical calculations
B.depending on feelings rather than on scientific research
C.performing enough experiments to increase the statistical probability of success
D.obtaining knowledge that allows him or her to recognize important evidence
(4)The primary purpose of the passage is to        
A.make a single definition of luck
B.show that scientists discover what they intend to find
C.compare scientific discovery to a lottery game
D.discuss the role of luck in science.

220549. (2016•七十中•高二下二月) No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents.Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.
(1)The first paragraph points out that        
A.India has much more disabled people than Canada
B.the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
C.there are many disabled people in the world
D.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
(2)The key word in Paragraph 4 is        
A.disability
B.barriers
C.prejudice
D.ignorance
(3)Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?        
A.Even the able-bodied many lose some of their body functions when they get older
B.There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK
C.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people
D.There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance
(4)It can be concluded from the passage that        
A.we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
B.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C.we should try our best to prevent disablement
D.the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled.

214836. (2017•长安区一中•高二上期中) When families gather for Christmas dinner,some will stick to formal traditions,that is,their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver bowls.But now in many other homes,this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and informality,with dresses in an informal and ordinary look.For hosts and guests,the change means greater simplicity and comfort.For makers of fine china in Britain,it means economic hard times.
Last week Royal Doulton,the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent,announced that it is removing 1,000 jobs--one-fifth of its total workforce.That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) field.Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.
Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing,the layoffs(失业) in Stoke have their roots in great social changes.A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company"has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend(潮流)"toward informal dining.Families eat together less often,he explained,and more people eat alone,either because they are single or because they want to eat in front of television.Even dinner parties,if they happen at all,have gone informal.In a time of long work hours and busy family schedules,busy hosts insist,rightly,that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a"real"dinner party.Too often,the perfect moment never comes.Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth?Forget it.Clean the silver bowls?Who has time?
Yet the loss of formality has its down side.The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned before at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed.""Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up else-where.Some companies now offer etiquette courses for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.

(1)In many homes nowadays,people tend to        
A.stick to formal traditions when they dine
B.set their tables with the good dishes and silver bowls
C.have dinner informally
D.buy many sets of fine china
(2)Why do people tend to follow the trend towards informal dining?        
A.Family members need more time to relax.
B.Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.
C.People prefer to live a comfortable life.
D.Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.
(3)It can be learned from the passage that'Royal Doulton' is        
A.a store of steel tableware
B.a store of stoneware
C.a store of pottery chain
D.a producer of fine china
(4)The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is        
A.the increased value of the pound
B.the worsening economy in Asia
C.the change in people's way of life
D.the fierce competition at home and abroad.

214863. (2017•高新一中•高一上期中) Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sleeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history.This time,however the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building.Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate.The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theatres in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.He added that the theater's location was also a reason."This used to be the center of town,"he said."Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were abandoned because of financial problems.Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movies.The theater will be missed.

(1)In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?        
A.It made room for new equipment.
B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C.It was done with the help of the audience.
D.It marked the 75th anniversary of The theater.
(2)Why was The Last Picture Show put on?        
A.It was an all-time classic.
B.It was about the history of the town.
C.The audience requested it.
D.The theater owner found it suitable.
(3)What will probably happen to the building?        
A.It will be repaired.
B.It will be turned into a museum.
C.It will be knocked down.
D.It will be sold to the city government.

203517. (2015•西工大附中•八模) Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize,but the smartphone.
   At parties,more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent International Data Corporation study,well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up,keeping it in hand all day.In addition,too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result,they get into car crashes.34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving,and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption.People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
   Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road,many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends,some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend,which sends a message to that friend:the person I am texting is more important than you.In addition,relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
   As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages,smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The quality of this technology is hindering societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact(交流)face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.

(1)The purpose of this text is to        
A.call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B.appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C.express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D.advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
(2)The second paragraph is developed        
A.by examples
B.by comparison
C.by time
D.by classification
(3)What's the author's attitude towards making friends by using smartphones?        
A.Neutral.
B.Positive.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Negative.
(4)Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that        
A.parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B.people are more and more narrow-minded
C.people's communication skills are weakened
D.face-to-face communication becomes less important

203407. (2016•西工大附中•七模) Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team,but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabled,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
   Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play,not expecting much.The boy looked around and said, "We're losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the final inning."
   Shay struggled over to the team's bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart.The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted.
   In the bottom of the eighth inning,Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.In the top of the final inning,Shay put on a glove and played in the field.Even though no hits came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field.In the bottom of the final inning,Shay's team scored again.Now,Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
   Surprisingly,Shay was given the bat.Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible.The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed.The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay.As the pitch came in,Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
   The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.Instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,beyond the reach of all teammates.The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, "Shay,run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked.
   Everyone shouted, "Run to second!" Catching his breath,Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head.
   All were screaming, "Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay." Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay,run to third." As Shay rounded third,all were on their feet,crying, "Shay,run home!" Shay ran to home,stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.
   That day,the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter,having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

(1)In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys        
A.believed they were sure to win the game
B.would like to help Shay enjoy the game
C.found Shay was so eager to be a winner
D.felt forced to give Shay another chance
(2)The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head,probably because that boy        
A.was obviously aware of the pitcher's purpose
B.looked forward to winning the game for his team
C.failed to throw the ball to the second baseman
D.saw that Shay already reached second base
(3)Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay's becoming the hero for this team?        
A.The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
B.The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
C.The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
D.One of the opposing players ran to help him.
(4)What do you think is the theme of the story?        
A.The human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.
B.Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.
C.Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
D.The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players.

203361. (2016•西工大附中•八模) The family does not feature heavily in the culture of the Ik of Northern Uganda.In fact,as far as the Ik are concerned,the family means very little.This is because the Ik face a daily struggle to survive in the face of drought,famine and starvation.Anyone who cannot take care of himself or herself is regarded as a useless burden by the Ik and a threat to the survival of the others.So the old are abandoned to die.Sick and disabled children too are abandoned.The Ik attitude is that,as long as you keep the breeding group alive,you can always get more children.
Ik mothers throw their children out of the village compound when they are 3 years old,to defend for themselves.I imagine children must be rather relieved to be thrown out,for in the process of being cared for,he or she is reluctantly carried about in a hide sling(背婴儿带) wherever the mother goes.Whenever the mother is in her field,she loosens the sling and lets the baby to the ground none too slowly,and laughs if it is hurt.Then she goes about her business,leaving the child there,almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off.This sometimes happens.Such behaviour does not endear children to their parents or parents to their children.
Many of you probably reacted to the Ik with some horror and shock.It is very tempting to conclude that these people are primitive,savage and inhuman,and that their concept of the'family' is deeply wrong.However,sociologists argue that it is wrong to simply judge such societies and their family arrangements as unnatural and untypical.We need to understand that such arrangements may have positive functions.In the case of the Ik,with the exceptional circumstances they find themselves in-drought and famine-their family arrangements help ensure the survival of the tribe.
Moreover,some of you may have concluded that British family life and the Ik have some things in common.British family is not universally experienced as positive for all family members.For some members of our own society-for young and old alike-family life may be characterized by violence,abuse and isolation.
The problem with studying the family is that we all think we are experts.This is not surprising,considering that most of us are born in families and socialized into family roles and responsibilities.It is an institution most of us feel very comfortable with and regard as'natural'.For many of us,it is a cornerstone of our social world,a place to which we can retreat and take refuge from the stresses of the outside world.It is the place in which we are loved for who we are,rather than what we are.Family living and family events are probably the most important aspects of our lives.It is no wonder that we tend to hold very fierce,emotional,and perhaps irrational views about family life and how it ought to be organized.Such'taken for granted'views make it very difficult for us to objectively examine family arrangements that differ from our own experience-such as those of the Ik-without making critical judgments.
(1)Which of the following ideas do the Ik hold according to the passage?        
A.The survival of the tribe is what they should strive for.
B.The old are the luxuries they should treasure.
C.Their children should be abandoned when born.

A.Mothers prefer to carry their children here and there.
B.The children are a great burden to their family.

D.Many children should be left at the mercy of fierce animals in the field.
(3)According to the author,both British family life and that of the Ik        
A.endear family members
B.ensure longevity
C.experience ups and downs
D.contain negative elements
(4)All of the following statements support"family is the cornerstone"EXCEPT that        
A.we pour our bad mood upon our family members
B.we find we love and are loved in the family

203303. (2016•西工大附中•十模) If you never read the classic F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby,now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation.Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film,it would be,as Fox News says in its review,"It's just like the book".
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was"either to find a visual equivalent(相等物) for Fitzgerald's elegant essay--the open secret of the book's staying power--or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的) strengths,"a Time magazine review says.He tries it both ways,with varying degrees of success.
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work,The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism,resistance to change,social change,and excess,creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Nick,the narrator,moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy.His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio),who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War.Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University,but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns more about Gatsby,every detail about him seems questionable,except his love for Daisy.Though Daisy is married,Gatsby still adores her as his"golden girl."They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer.Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war.However,she married Tom,a classmate of Nick.Having obtained a great fortune,Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
"All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film,even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue,"US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review."The cast is beautiful as is the script,and the scenes are a visual feast,"Taroli adds.
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm."He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen,"David Denby,a film critic for The New Yorker,says in his review.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film."Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original,"the Fox News review says.
For example,in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film,the first party scene,Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself,while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue (composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924)is played in the background.
(1)What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?        
A.He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B.He made the film more powerful than the book.
C.He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.
D.He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.
(2)What is Taroli's attitude towards the film?        
A.Favorable.
B.Sceptical.
C.Amazed.
D.Unconcerned.
(3)What are the characteristics of Gatsby?        
A.Faithful and warm-hearted.
B.Charming and professional.
C.Selfish and stubborn.
D.Mysterious and devoted.
(4)Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph?        
A.Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B.Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
C.Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D.Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.

203320. (2016•西工大附中•七模) Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S.D.,so commuting(经常往返) to class isn't the problem.But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.
So Steele,a full-time senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system's online offerings.He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people,"he says.But now,he sets his own schedule.
At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses,according to a recent survey by the Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and two-thirds of colleges offering"face-to-face"courses also offer online ones.But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students.
At some schools,online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students.A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.
Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and"face-to-face"credits.Motives range from lifestyle to adapting to a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses.
Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year.As many as 9,000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.
"Business is really about providing choices to their customers,and that's really what we want to do,"said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.
Many schools,such as Washington State and Arizona State,let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course.They say students with legitimate academic needs-a conflict with another class,a course they need to graduate that is full-often get permission,though they still must take some key classes in person.
(1)What is the purpose of the passage?        
A.To introduce Steele to us,who prefers online courses.
B.To tell us about the development of campus courses.
C.To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.
D.To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.
(2)We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele        
A.lives far from the campus B.knows none of his classmates
C.wants to have his own lifestyle D.doesn't get good marks
(3)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?        
A.The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.
B.It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.
C.About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.
D.Different colleges have different policies about online courses.
(4)From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage,we can tell        
A.business is the most popular major in universities
B.collegeould provide more majors for students
C.where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D.why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students.

214700. (2017•西安中学•高三上期中) Owls and LarksLarks are most likely to be healthy,wealthy and wise,according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand,
researchers say.They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes.'Larks' or'morning people',however,often acquired better exam results,possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning,or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning.School
performance and inductive(归纳 的) intelligence,or problem solving,were measured
and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account.The resultowed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning,which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance.They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically.Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking,more admired occupations and better incomes.
Famous night owls include President Obama,Charles Darwin,Winston Churchill,Keith Richards and Elvis Presley.George W Bush,who is regularly in bed by 10pm,Thomas Edison,Napoleon,Condoleezza Rice who wakes at 4.30am,and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks.Jim Horne,professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University,said:"Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types,the poets,artists and inventors,while the morning types are the deducers
(推断者),as are often seen with civil servants and accountants."A previous study of US
Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking to solve problems than larks.

203284. (2016•华清中学•二模) Teens don't understand the big fuss (小题大做).As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren't around,and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online,chatting with friends.So what?
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated (孤寂),less skillful at person-to-person relationships,and perhaps numb (麻木) to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world."And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,"said Sherry Turkle.
Another researcher,Robert Kraut,said he's worried about the"opportunity costs"(机会成本) of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week,showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation."Chatting online may be better than watching television,but it's worse than hanging out (闲逛) with real friends,"he said.
Today's teens,however,don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives."School is busy and full of pressure.There's almost no time to just hang out,"said Parker Rice,17."Talking online just kills time."
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date,or breaking up,can be easier in message form,though they don't want to do so.But they insist there's no harm.
