A

Have you ever imagined walking through a glacier? Be it a yes or no, it is now

a possibility.

On October 10, Travel Alberta, the tourism organization for the province of

Alberta, Canada, traveled to Beijing to promote its new project, “Glacier Skywalk,”at a press conference.

The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to open May 2014.

The new attraction is only minutes away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center, and is already expected to become a new Canadian landmark. The bold concept of walking amid a glacier may seem unrealistic, but a glass corridor extending from the glacier’s cliff will make the experience a reality.

The glass corridor will function as a fully accessible walkway leading to a

glass-floored observation platform 280 meters (918 ft) above the Sunwapta Valley, and will allow visitors to witness the powers of glaciology. From ice-capped mountain peaks to vast glacier-formed valleys, the Glacier Skywalk will provide visitors with a front row seat to some of nature’s most grandeur beauty.

The project will not only become an innovative travel spot, but will also be seen

as an engineering miracle. Its main purpose will be to provide visitors with a brand-new viewing e xperience, in which one can go beyond nature’s edge and immerse themselves in an awe-inspiring trip in one of the world’s most unique ecosystems.

Remember to breathe

“Remember to breathe” is the slogan of Travel Alberta’s global promotional

campaign. Royce Chwin, one of the developers of the project and the Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta, elaborated on the idea in depth at the press conference. “Remember to breathe” is a key statement which serves as a reminder to stop, take a moment, refill your energy, remember to slow down, take in your surroundings, take it all in and to drink in the unique personal experience that you create.”

For city dwellers who have a hectic life schedule for almost 365 days a year,

this idea serves especially as a reminder that life resides in every breath that is inhaled and exhaled, so people should never forget to slow down and enjoy every moment.

China: essential outbound tourism market

As more Chinese travelers embark on foreign trips, many Western countries are

wooi ng Chinese tourists, and Alberta is no exception. “China is extremely important to Canada, we have seen a double-digit 18% growth of Chinese visitors year after year, which is the world’s largest outbound tourism market for Alberta,” said Chwin.

One advant age adding to Canada’s appeal for Chinese tourists is the Approved

Destination Status, a 10-year multiple-entry visa which Chinese travelers can apply for to make their travel much smoother. With more than 82 connecting flights a week between the two countries, traveling to Canada has never been easier.

16. Which of the following about Glacier Skywalk is true?

A. It is promoted by a tourism organization from Beijing.

B. It has no chance to become a new Canadian landmark.

C. It is mainly designed to let visitors have a brand-new experience.

D. It is far away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center.

17. The slogan of travel Alberta’s global promotional campaign “Remember to

breathe” is used to ________.

A. warn tourists of the danger there

B. describe the beauty of Glacier Skywalk

C. indicate the excitement of walking through a glacier

D. remind people to slow down and enjoy every moment

Popcorn at the Movies

Advertising uses repetition to increase consumers’ preference for brands.

Particularly for novel brands, much exposure and repetition is necessary to establish the brand name in the first place. Do you still remember your feeling when you see or hear the names YAHOO or GOOGLE for the first time? Now they are imprinted in your brain. Basic psychological research has already shown that repeatedly perceived(感知) information is easier to be remembered for the brain process.

Recent research has shown that repetition effects actually are originally caused

from the mouth. Each time we come across a pe rson’s or product name, the lips and the tongue automatically simulate(模仿) the pronunciation of that name. This happens without our awareness and without actual mouth movements. During inner speech, the brain attempts to say the novel name. When names are presented repeatedly, this simulation happens repeatedly. However, if this inner speech is disturbed, for instance during chewing gum or whispering another word, the repetition effect vanishes.

An interesting experiment was conducted in movie theaters. 96 participants were

invited to a real movie theater and were presented a block of commercials and a movie later on. Half of the participants received popcorn to eat. For them, the mouth was occupied with chewing the popcorn so the mouth muscles could not engage in inner speech when watching the ads for the novel brands. The other half of the participants only received a small sugar cube, which dissolved quickly in their mouth so that the mouth muscles were free to simulate the pronunciation of the brand names. The participants were invited to the lab one week after the cinema session. They were presented with images of products. Half of these products had been advertised in the cinema session; the other half were completely novel products. Participants were asked to indicate the products that they liked, and their physiological (生理的) responses were measured. Those participants who had only received a sugar cube proved that there was a clear advertising effect. They preferred advertised novel products and also showed positive physiological responses of familiarity for advertised products.

However, those participants who had eaten popcorn while watching the commercials one week before showed no such advertising effect.

18. Why does the author mention Yahoo and Google in Paragraph One?

A. To remind readers of brand names.

B. To prove the influence of repetition.

C. To compare the effects of two brands.

D. To draw readers’ attention to the research.

19. What does the underlined word “vanish” probably mean?

A. Disappear.

B. Improve.

C. Reduce.

D. Occur.

20. One week after the cinema session, the participants who ate sugar cube ________.

A. held positive attitude toward movies

B. showed preference for advertisements

C. tended to choose the advertised products

D. felt familiar with the commercials and the movies

21. Where is the passage likely to have been taken from?

A. A psychological report.

B. An entertainment website.

C. A commercial advertisement.

D. A popular science magazine.

Is this happening in your neighborhood? Children, notebook computers stuck under

their arms, await the yellow bus for the trip to middle school. On the surface, the question of computers in schools is a no-brainer. It would be strange to insist that today’s technology shouldn’t be used to make the classroom experience more individualized, more effective, more immediate, more exciting. Computers have been in schools more than 20 years—and probably even done some good.

But the idea of a personal computer as a necessary daily tool for every American

grammar school pupil is altogether a different thing. Be aware of the seemingly attractive vision of 10-year-olds doing most of their work—and homework—on a computer. It is another illusory silver bullet that promises to solve all of society’s ills through technology. Regardless of whether parents or taxpayers buy the machinery, it’s bad policy.

Determining the proper role of computers in schools is too important to be left

to computer suppliers and educators. An educated public with clear and realistic expectations needs to help determine the right track for technology.

Educators forever seem to seek the ultimate in teaching tools. They are always

preoccupied with innovation—junior high school, new math, whole language, open classrooms, and mastery learning, to name a few. Some ideas turned out well and over time have earned permanent positions in our education systems. Other reflected change for changes’ sake and wound up in the trash bin, where they belong.

Exactly what is to be solved with computers in schools? Are we looking to improve

instructional capacity and flexibility? Are we trying to make teachers and aids more productive by letting students take advantage of programmed learning tools? This all sounds good, and much has been accomplished with computer-assisted instruction.

But that’s not the same as making the computer a symbol of well-tempered

educational policy. There’s danger in the message that a child is not fully educated if he or she can’t surf the World Wide Web skillf ully, move around in Windows or the Founder, use a word processing program, or program in Logo or Basic.

These skills can be learned outside the classroom. Worse, the time it takes

students to acquire them is time stolen from the teaching schedule—and that’s a bad trade.

And what kind of computers should be purchased? We’re not talking brand names.

Most school systems don’t have the money to replace PCs or Macs on the two-to-three-year cycle that shifting technologies demand. On the other hand, $2500—the cost of just one computer—invested in books for the school library produces wealth that has, shall we say, a longer shelf life.

And who changes the factory culture of schoolrooms to allow computers to be more

effective? And who teaches the teachers? These are the really tough issues—the ones that more hardware won’t solve.

Children are best served when schools contribute to shaping the solid foundations

on which their future will be built. The student who can read with curiosity and understanding, who has mastered basic mathematical concepts, who can evaluate ideas critically, is the one schools should aim to produce.

22. A “no-brainer” in the third sentence of the first paragraph probably means ________.

A. something that is taken for granted

B. an idea that is brainless and foolish

C. a proposal that is not worthy of serious consideration

D. a machine that can never take the place of human brain

23. According to the author, teaching computer in the school classroom is bad practice

because ________.

A. the computer is too expensive a luxury for school pupils

B. the pupils are not intelligently mature enough to master the skills

C. it takes too much time which might have been spent on regular courses

D. the pupils can learn nothing from computer-assisted instruction

24. In the last paragraph the author implies that ________.

A. computer skills contribute nothing to a proper education

B. computer teaching is an essential part of an education

C. the fundamental purpose of an education is being ignored

D. teachers should be taught how to teach computer skills

The First Hello

The man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to

the tea stall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth—a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local

and STD allowded.

No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had

taken the entire day. After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.

Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon

the sound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.

When the man had finished, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat

behind his steaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.

“You are our guest here.”

So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.

They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the

children pressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, “Hello.”

“Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner

broke into a smile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.

“It’s a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.

“It is.” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over

a small chit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”

The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others

around him read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.

The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He

knew he had to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.

“Oh, you can’t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month

and inaugurate it.”

No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month

more did not really matter.

25. In the story, fitting a working telephone booth __________.

A. was a process that had already taken 12 months

B. was in the charge of the headman

C. was finished more than a year ago

D. was an artistic challenge for a local painter

26. A misspelled word on the booth __________.

A. was a joke shared by the painter and the local people

B. made the painter miss his tea break

C. went unnoticed by the local people

D. kept everyone occupied for an entire day

27. When the man from the telephone department arrived, __________.

A. the hot afternoon was filled with quiet expectation

B. there was a sudden rush of activity in the village

C. he was greeted like a regular customer

D. he learned about the village while having a nice drink

28. What can be inferred from the story?

A. The man from the telephone department had a mentally demanding job.

B. Only the minister had the authority to make the first call.

C. It was a distant village free from modern technology.

D. Few of the local children went to school for education.

29. The examples of the children, the teashop owner, the men waiting for the bus,

the women and the shepherds are given to illustrate __________.

A. the local people’s curiosity for the new thing

B. the ignorance of the local people

C. the local people’s enthusiasm for English learning

D. the popularity of the man from the telephone department

30. What words can be used to best describe the local people?
