What about you? M: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. If it’s a registered charity then I don’t see there’s really a problem with giving a donation. W: Yeah, I guess so, but I really wonder. There are so many charities in the world, and you wonder really how much money the people actually get, so it’s difficult to really know. M: How about if you’re walking down the street and you see a homeless person asking for money? W: Homeless people? (10) But if it’s a disabled person, I am more willing to give, rather than just the homeless. M: Yeah, I’d agree with you.

Isn’t it terrible? (16) While many parents and teachers complain what a waste of time video games are, they are walking past a historic opportunity. The only thing being wasted here is the true value and potential of these technological devices.(17)Instead of giving negative comments on them, we could be using these high-tech “toys” to create a revolution in education and training. These games take our kids into a 3D world where they learn how to operate a breathtaking range of tools, including attractive vehicles, advanced weapons, and other machines. Take a few minutes to really watch them in one of these games. (18) They pour hours into memorizing elaborate scenes and developing the most sophisticated strategies to accomplish goals and win the game. What happens to our kids after they spend hours of such concentrated communication and sophisticated strategic collaboration in this advanced 3D learning environment? They shut down their machines and head off to school. They must feel like they’re stepping into a time machine—one that takes them backwards. Too often adults see video games as a negative, but that’s only because of our thinking. We tend to think that “automation” means “no more human jobs,” but that’s not true either. (19)No matter what you think, you step into a future where games and education, automation and humanizing, go hand in hand and lead to real solutions in today’s crisis in education and training. And that future could be happening right now.16. What do teachers and parents complain about? 17. What could we do to use the high-tech “toys” instead of criticizing them? 18.

Language classes of the future might come with some physical exercises. (20) It is found that people learn a new language more easily when words are combined with the relative movements. And people learn a new tongue more quickly when words are accompanied by movements. Researchers enrolled 20 volunteers in a six-day course to learn a language designed to explain the study results in an easy way. Half of the teaching materials were taught by using spoken and written instructions and exercises, while the other half was taught with body movements to combine each word. In the teaching process, the learners will be asked to act out. For instance, in teaching “cut”to the learners, the trainer did the movement in cutting things into several pieces, and then the learners followed him and memorized it by doing the gesture. (21) It was resulted that the learners remembered more of the words with movements and used them more readily when creating new sentences. The researchers explained that theacting of the words helps the learners’memory by creating a more complex representation of the word and (22) this can leave a deep impression of the word in learners’ minds. One of the researchers claimed that the method could really speed up foreign language learning in the real language classes of schools.20. What is the fast way to learn a new language introduced in the passage? 21. What was the result of the test according to the passage? 22. How did the researchers explain the results of the test?20．A．To play some word games.B．To accompany words with gestures.C．To have some outdoor exercise.D．To choose classes in the future.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力21．A．The learners could remember few words with movements.B．The learners rarely used the words with movements.C．The learners used the words more readily when creating new sentences.D．The learners liked creating new sentences with old words.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力22．A．The physical workout can arouse learners’ interest in learning languages.B．The method can be impressive in memorizing these words with gestures.C．The method can be harmful to the memory of learners.D．The method is used in many schools around the globe.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力听力原文：Home theaters have the tendency to replace the role of cinema in some cities of the US. (23) Home theaters that use large high-definition television sets and sound systems can provide the typical experience for watching movies at lower prices. So they began to threaten the movie industry’s ticket sales. More and more people are waiting for Hollywood’s new movie discs—so they can experience them in the comfort of their own homes, rather than pay a lot of money at a local cinema with the silver screen. There is nothing new about television’s effect on the cinema. Until recently, though, the competition between the two media was for the viewers’ time. The impact on ticket sales is telling. For the first nine months of 2011, box office receipts in America were down 2.3%, said analysts at SNL Kagan, a finance and media research company based in Virginia. Meanwhile, video rentals from some video websites alone increased 48%. Meanwhile the film industry has made every effort to stop the falling tendency. Nowadays, (24)most of the cinema-goers havemany more choices to watch movies. And if the comments about a film are not compelling enough, they will not go to the cinema. Instead, many are likely to wait until the movie comes out on DVD discs—or watch it from some websites. This is particularly true of people in their twenties and thirties. (25) In order to catch the last straw, the film industry made some 3D movies. However, complaints can also be heard from movie fans because they have to wear special glasses when watching 3D movies. Unfortunately, now television-makers have started to make 3D TV sets.23. Why did the home theaters begin to threaten the ticket sales of movie industry? 24. Why do some cinema-goers have more choices nowadays according to the passage?25. What did the film industry do to change its current situation?23．A．People are willing to stay at home and watch TV.B．People don’t like to go to the cinema nowadays.C．People dislike Hollywood movies nowadays.D．People can watch movies at lower prices at home.正确答案：D 涉及知识点：听力24．A．They have too many films to watch in the cinema.B．They have too many cinemas to go.C．They can watch films on various media.D．Most of them are at early ages.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力25．A．It made some 3D TV programs.B．It made more interesting movies.C．It made some 3D movies.D．It sold tickets at lower prices.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力。

知识模块：听力听力原文：Some American schools pay teachers more if their students improve on tests. (3)Now, there is a growing movement to pay the students, in some cases, even just for coming to class. Schools that pay students can be found in more than one-fourth of the fifty states. Other schools pay students with food or other rewards. Last year, the city schools in Coshocton, Ohio, launched a programme. They wanted to see if paying elementary school students as much as one hundred dollars would help in passing state exams. (4)Now, Eric Bettinger of Case Western Reserve University has reported mixed results. Math scores increased, but only while students were able to get paid. And there was no evidence of higher scores in reading, social studies and science. Officials will decide later this year whether to continue the programme. 3. What should American students do to get paid from schools?4. What’s the result of the programme to pay students?3．A．Give teachers extra help.B．Engage in many activities.C．Show up in class.D．Offer constructive advice.正确答案：C解析：新闻开篇部分提到，现在有些美国学校推出一项新举措：奖励成绩有进步的学生，甚至学生仅仅因为到学校上课就可得到奖励。
