    A good teacher is many things to many people. In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded (要求) the most discipline (纪律) from their students.
    I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory—in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.
    She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.
    I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.
    小题1:Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?
    A．A patient teacher.B．An honest teacher.
    C．A strict teacher.D．A hard-working teacher.
    小题2:The teacher put up the sign over her classroom door ___.
    A．to remind the students that this room was a laboratory
    B．to advise the students to follow the disciplines
    C．to warn the students not to be careless
    D．to tell the students to work hard in the classroom
    小题3:When the teacher’s arm was broken, she ___.
    A．gave her students the usual amount of homework
    B．gave her students less homework
    C．asked her students to check the homework themselves
    D．gave her students more homework
    小题4:What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?
    A．It makes the students dislike their teachers.
    B．It does good to the students in the long run.
    C．It’s too much for young children.
    D．It does more harm than good to the students.

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:A
    小题4:B

    试题分析：在不同的人看来好教师的概念也是不同的，但是从作者自身的经历来说，他认为严格的老师才是真正的好老师，因为他或者她对学生的影响是终身的。在本文中作者通过回忆自己的一位老师来讲述了他眼中优秀老师的形象。
    小题1:C细节理解题。根据文章第一段the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline  from their students.以及第二段 I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person.可知作者认为对学生要求严格的老师是好老师，答案选C。
    小题2:D推理判断题。从文章第二段“Laboratory—…… not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.可以判断老师认为苦干要比雄辩重要，所以答案选D。
    小题3:A细节理解题。根据文章第三段Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same.可知当老师摔伤胳膊后，仍然给学生留了和平时同样多的作业，所以答案选A。

    (2013·宜春五校联考)Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers.They use robotic systems to milk their cows.Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations.Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
    Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food.As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine.A few minutes later，milking is complete.The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.
    The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day.The cows get to decide when they want to be milked.Cows are milked an average of about three times a day.Some are milked four to six times a day.
    The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system.A computer keeps records on their eating and milking.A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
    The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk.Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
    Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers.She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm.Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
    Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm.Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system.A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot costs 175,000 dollars.The second costs 150,000 dollars.
    Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot.He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
    小题1:From the first paragraph，we can infer ________.
    A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
    B．cows can be raised by robots in the future
    C．robots direct cows into milking stations
    D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
    小题2:Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can ________.
    A．adjust the temperature of milking stations
    B．judge the quality of fresh milk
    C．improve the appetite of cows
    D．keep fresh milk for two weeks
    小题3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
    A．Because young people have no interest in it.
    B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
    C．Because people can't afford to buy it.
    D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
    小题4:According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee per year?
    A．$150,000～$175,000.
    B．over $75,000.
    C．$150,000～$30,000.
    D．$30,000～$35,000.

    What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J．K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.
    A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e­mails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”
    There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere，do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history？” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
    Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting a new Web site.
    Navigate the world in 3­D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom(快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.
    With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
    When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.

    Bad teeth may be painful and it’s getting worse without treatment. They can even ruin your life. Illness of the teeth can find its way into the blood system. This can increase the chances of a heart disease or other illnesses.
    Experts say good care for teeth should start at birth. Mothers’ milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth.
    But dentists say a baby’s mouth and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, give him only water.
    When baby’s teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. Young children often eat toothpaste (牙膏) when they brush, so they should be carefully watched when they brush their teeth.
    Parents often ask what effect thumb sucking (咬手指) might have on their baby’s teeth. Experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four. If it continues, parents should talk to their children’s dentist or doctor.
    Dentists say children should have their first dental visit by the time they are one year old. They say babies should be examined when their first teeth appear usually at around six months.

    New research has revealed that which song drivers listen to can influence how safe they are on the roads.Among the top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones，I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John.Each of the songs has an optimum tempo(最佳节奏) for safe driving，imitating the human heartbeat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute.The Scientist by Coldplay and Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River also appeared in the top 10.
    The study，conducted at London Metropolitan University，also revealed the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously.Unsurprisingly，music that is noisy increases a driver's heart rate，which can be deadly.Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song.Styles of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers.Hip­hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively，speeding up faster than male driver.The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.
    The experiment involved eight people driving 500 miles each using the confused.com MotorMate app，which monitored driving behaviors through GPS technology.
    小题1:What's the main idea of the whole passage?
    A．Songs that drivers prefer to listen to on their way.
    B．A study made by the confused.com MotorMate app.
    C．What kind of songs the drivers should choose to listen to during driving.
    D．Female drivers and male drives have different responses to the same music.
    小题2:The underlined word “monitored” in the last paragraph means________．
    A．controlledB．bannedC．modeledD．showed
    小题3:．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．Tiny Dancer by Elton John appeared in the top 10.

    Having spent two and a half years in China over several visits, I don’t remember ever going through a phase we in the United States call “cultural shock”. This period of difficulty in adjusting to a new culture would probably have set in during my semester at Peking University. Of course, this is not to say that I didn’t notice any differences between the American and Chinese cultures upon my arrival at Peking University, I did notice the differences. Looking back, I remember one of the first differences I noticed: Chinese universities are surrounded by walls.
    To an American, this is one of the most striking aspects of a Chinese university which immediately sets it apart from an American campus. Having grown up in the United States, I had never seen a university surrounded by high, cement(水泥) walls. My idea of a university, based on having seen scores of them in different states of the U.S., was a place of life and learning, an inseparable part of the community in which it was located, open not only to the students of the school itself, but also fully accessible to students from other schools and to the broader public.
    My idea of a university was that it was a center of cultural life, a resource for the entire community. In all my twenty-one years, it had never occurred to me that a school would have a wall around it. Walls enclose and separate; schools expand and integrate(合并). The very idea seemed fundamentally incompatible. I asked a Chinese friend if all Chinese universities have walls around them. “You know, I have never really thought about it. I guess so. I guess all Chinese schools have walls around them, not just universities.” “Why?” I asked, “What’s the point?” “I don’t know. To protect us, I suppose.”  “From whom?” “I don’t know. Don’t you have walls around your schools in the United States?” I thought carefully before answering. “No, I’ve never seen or heard of a university encircled by a wall.” My Chinese friend seemed puzzled. Walls around schools came to strike me as more than just an architectural difference between the United States and China. As China continues to open up to the outside world, these walls seem increasingly out of place.
    小题1:The author felt strange about Chinese culture when he ___________.
    A．studied in Peking University
    B．talked with his friends about the walls
    C．experienced the “cultural shock” at his arrival
    D．spent two and a half years in China over several visits
    小题2:In the author’s opinion, a university is a place ___________.
    A．where only students can come to study
    B．which is similar everywhere in the world
    C．that should be surrounded by high cement walls
    D．that is an inseparable part of and a resource for the community
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A．The two ideas are fundamental.
    B．The two ideas are basically different.
    C．The two ideas about “school” and “wall” are suitable.
    D．The two ideas about “school” and “wall” are conflicting.
    小题4:What did the author’s friend feel about the walls around universities?
    A．He thought it a good idea to have walls encircling schools.
    B．He was shocked that American universities are not enclosed.
    C．He thought they were necessary to protect students from being hurt.
    D．He thought the difference between two countries is only architectural styles.
    小题5:We can infer from the passage that the author thinks _____________.
    A．walls are really useful in the universities
    B．he can never really understand the Chinese culture
    C．Chinese universities should work as public scenic spots
    D．walls around the universities are inappropriate in an open China

    The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).
    Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.
    The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
    During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
    This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.
    The engineering firm of Ove  Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned building, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.
    小题1:What’s the meaning of “complex” in the second paragraph? 
    A．Something that is difficult to understand.
    B．A group of buildings together in one place.
    C．A group of things that are connected.
    D．A mental state that is not normal.
    小题2:How is fresh air from outside drawn out?
    A．By fans.B．Via ceiling vents.
    C．Through chimneys.D．Via ceiling vents and through chimneys.
    小题3:What is NOT the factor that makes Eastgate Building work well?
    A．Skies without clouds.
    B．Little dampness.
    C．Daily rapid temperature changes
    D．Seasonal rapid temperature changes.
    小题4:In general, how is the daily temperature of the building?
    A．It changes in a certain range with some exception.
    B．It changes from one extreme to another.
    C．It remains the same without any exception.
    D．It is hard to endure.
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners.
    B．How air-conditioning works.
    C．Fans make Eastgate Building’s temperature comfortable.
    D．How Eastgate Building’s temperature control system works.

    Jerry Morris died on 28 October 2009. He was 99 years old. You have probably never heard of him. He was a professor of public health. More than 50 years ago he produced one of the most famous epidemiological (流行病学) papers of the 20th century.
    His study showed that bus conductors were much less likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers. Why? Because the conductors spent their working day walking. It seems obvious now but in the middle of the last century doctors were puzzled by the rising numbers of people who got heart diseases. Jerry Morris found one of the main causes: a sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle. He started exercising for a few minutes each day and lived until his 100th year.
    If you wish to protect your heart, you have to do more than wander in the garden. The exercise needs to be reasonable. Jogging is not for everyone and a round trip to the gym takes a couple of hours, plus the monthly membership fee is only good value if you visit regularly. The answer is simple: walk.
    A half-hour purposeful walk five times a week will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and strokes. Older people sometimes feel they have left it too late. But it is never too late to start and there are no upper age limits. Start gently. Take your time: a 15-minute flat walk in the nearest park, four or five times a week. Within a month or so, you are already beginning to protect your heart. Build the walks up. When you can comfortably walk for half an hour in the park, go further: try following rivers and canals.
    Regular walkers have their own natural gymnasium. There is no membership fee, just some of the finest scenery in the world. Great Britain is the walker’s gym. When you have followed the rivers and canals, and are enjoying walking for a couple of hours, head for the coast. Once again, build it up slowly. When you are comfortable with long coastal walks, you can think of our national parks.
    小题1:Jerry Morris is mentioned in the first paragraph mainly to __________.
    A．make his epidemiological message known to the public
    B．praise his research into ways of improving public health
    C．introduce the topic of doing exercise and keeping healthy
    D．give an example of a person who lives a healthy and long life
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that __________.
    A．bus conductors are more likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers.
    B．doctors in the 1950s knew why heart diseases kept happening to people.
    C．walking is better than doing sports in a gym because it saves time and money.
    D．British people love walking because they have free gymnasium with finest scenery.
    小题3:What suggestion does the writer give about walking?
    A．Parks are the best place for walking.
    B．Starters should not push themselves too hard.
    C．A two-quarter walk a day is suitable for starters.
    D．People of old age might not be fit enough to start walking.
    小题4:What might be the best title for this passage?
    A．Long Life Comes from Walking
    B．Walking Helps Cure Heart Disease
    C．A Walk a Day Keeps the Doctors away
    D．An Hour’s Walk in Nature is Worth Two in the Gym
