Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes (雪花) falling. Ever wanted

to hold them in

your hands? They are always lost when they meet your hands. Well, this is not just a

problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bebtley, too. In the 1870s, Wilson

Bebtley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in Bentley.

His family

lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard.

Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home.

Bentley didn’t

go to school until he was 14. he was a quiet boy, and loved reading his

books.

But it was his mother’s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other

boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying things like

drops of water,

flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes .For the next two years,

young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals

(晶体) under his microscope.

The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But

there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all.

How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.

The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn’t agree. He

thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do

was farming.

But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take picturs

of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever

photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,”

Bentley said later.

For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals.

Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.

Change is a natural part of language development. The words you like

to use are probably a little different from those that your grandparents used when they were young. A study carried out by a British company f ound that the use of e-mail has had a bad influence(影响) of written English.

According to the research, computer users today are too busy to hit the “shift”buttons on their keyboards —e-mails are often written in lower case, that is to say, with no capital letters(大写字母) for names o r the beginning o sentences. Spelling mistakes are generally accepted even in

formal e-mails. And nouns are often used as verb (e.g. Please bookmark

this site) .

With the development of the Internet, e-mail and mobile phone messages, a new language has developed within just a few years —we call it Weblish. The latest Oxford English Dictionary has included many n ew words showing the changes in our communication culture.

While some language experts care about the future of English and want to do something, John Simpon, chief editor of the dictionary says, “The standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing

and communication, which means a faster development of language change.

There are a large number of words that either come from the Internet or

have been given new meanings by the Internet.”

65. According to the research, people often write e-mails in lower case

to ________ .

A. save time

B. show kindness

C. make fun

D. be different

66. The second paragraph mainly tells us _________ .

A. the mistakes found in English e-mails

B. the side effects of the use of e-mail

C. the changes in English used in e-mails

D. the reason why people use e-mails

67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Spelling mistakes are not allowed in today’s e-mails.

B. The Internet develops new words as well as new meanings to some o ld

words.

C. Weblish is only used in e-mails.

D. We cannot find Weblish in a dictionary at present.

68. According to the passage, John Simpson probably agrees that ________ .

A. the use of e-mail stops the development of language

B. mistakes in e-mails are very important to English

C. everyone should learn to write e-mails in Weblish

D. the Internet has brought great changes to English

Few people hate homework more than Alfie Kohn, author of The Homework Myth. There is a hot discussion across the country: does homework r eally improve school results? A growing number of educators say no.

“We always think it is worth it,” says Kohn, “and homework will improve their school results and give them good study skills, but the

research(研究) shows it is just not so. No study has ever found any

academic benefit(学业上的成效) of assigning(布置) homework before kids are in high school. and even in high school the case is very weak.”

But how could hours of reading, writing and solving math problems not

help kids to learn? We asked tenth graders at the Galloway School, in

Atlanta.

“ I learn everything that I need to in class,” says 16-year-old Matt Ritchie. “And it is really unnecessary to do homework. It is just boring.”

“If I listen in class and take good notes, I usually do well on tests,”explains his classmate Paige Solomon, “So I don’t think it is

helpful—if anything, it just makes me kind of fearful of going to that

class.”

“I’m usually in a bad mood when I have a lot of homework,” says 16-year-old Carter Parder, “because I stay up later. And then I’m g roggy the next day.”

According to Kohn, even if kids learn a little through homework, the

cost is too high. Homework may kill a student’s interest in learning.

If kids seem t o be sinking(陷入) under a mountain of work, parents should intervene(干涉). Most adults wouldn’t want to work eight hours a day,

and then come home to hours of extra work. Kids are no different.

73. According to the passage, we know that Alfie Kohn _______ .

A. is a high school teacher.

B. is an expert in language study.

C. does deep research into homework

D. is a great novel writer.

74. Which of the following is TRUE a ccording to the passage?

A. Most people think homework is of great help to students.

B. Kohn is the first person to prove homework is unimportant.

C. Kohn thinks homework is helpful for college students.

D. Parents should pay much attention to the homework of their children.

75. The underlined word “groggy” in Paragraph 6 means “_______”

A. uninterested

B. happy

C. sleepy

D. clear-minded

76. The passage was written mainly to _________ .

A. introduce the book The Homework Myth

B. point out the importance of homework

C. show doing homework is a waste of time

D. show there is no need to assign homework

Bells sound. Lighted messages a ppear. Men a nd women work at computers. They talk on the telephone. At times they shout and run around.

This noisy place is a stock exchange (证券交易所). Here expert salespeople called brokers buy and sell shares of companies. The shares

are known as stocks. People who own stock in a company own part of that company.

People pay brokers to buy and sell stocks for them. If a company earns money, its stock increases in value. If the company does not earn money, the stock decreases in value. Brokers and investors carefully watch for

any changes on the Big Board. That is the name given to a list of stocks

sold on the New York Stock Exchange.

Investors(投资者) and brokers watch the Big Board to see if the stock

market is a bull market or a bear market. In a bear market, prices go down.

In a bull market, prices go up.

Investors in a bear market promise to sell a stock in the future at a

set price. But the investor does not own the stock yet. He or she waits

to buy it when the price drops.

The meaning of a bear market is thought to come from an old story about a man who sold the skin of a bear before he caught the bear. An English dictionary of the sixteen hundreds said, to sell a bear is to sell what

one has not.

Word e xperts dispute the beginnings of the word bull in the stock market. But some s ay it came f rom the long connection of the two animals –bulls and bears – in sports that were popular years ago in England.

Investors always care about the possibility of a company failing. In

the modern world, a company that does not earn enough profit is said to

go belly up. A company t hat goes belly up dies like a fish. Fish turn over on their backs when they die. So they are stomach, or belly, up.

Stock market investors do not want that to happen to a company. They

want a company whose stock they own to earn more profit than expected.

This would sharply increase the value of the stock. Investors are hoping for a windfall(横财).

77. The first paragraph is written for the purpose of ________.

A. making readers interested in buying stocks

B. telling readers the place is so busy

C. telling readers people in the stock exchange are busy

D. attracting readers’ attention to the topic of the passage

78. A fresher of a stock market probably turns to a (n) _______ for advice.

A. company

B. investor

C. broker

D. word expert

79. John bought his stock from a company w hich has gone belly up this year.

We can infer _________ .

A. John would lose money this year

B. John would earn money this year

C. the stock market is a bear market

D. the stock market is a bull market

80. The reason why investors pay attention to the company w hose s tock they

own is that _______ .

A. the company belongs to them

B. the company earns much money

C. they work for the company

D. they are financially connected with the company

always confident. Instead of being afraid of making mistakes or being laughed at,

you have to overcome your shyness and catch every opportunity to speak English both in and after class as much a s possible, as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. What’s more important, you should turn to teacher for help, which will let you make great progress by asking your teacher the learning methods. With the development

of new technology, computer makes it possible to make friends with the native

speakers through the internet, and you should make the most of it.

As long as you keep on speaking English, you are sure to improve your spoken

English.

yours,
