She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special place for 35 to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. There were several jobs 36 did there, including gift giving and ice-cream 37 . Mum said I would enjoy it, but I expected this was a 38 job.‎ I got in the car and Mum drove to this place. There was a house in the village that ‎ we went into to do our work. I had to put some 39 on the back of a golf cart (高尔夫球车). Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village. ‎ We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving”, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the living room was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up with 40 . I walked out and thought, “That must be painful, unable to jump around.”‎ As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didn’t 41 me. Her mum said she was deaf and only partially (部分地) sighted, so I needed to go and stand in front of her. When I 42 that, she became very excited and made a sign with her hands. Her mum told me this was the sign for “ 43 ”. ‎ ‎ 44 back in the cart, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I 45 I should be more thankful that I don’t have these illnesses — that I was not in the same 46 as these kids. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs.

For more than 40 years, Goodall lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees. ‎ chimpanzee As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses. ‎ When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa. Even though she had never been to college, she got a job with a famous scientist named Louis Leakey. ‎ One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited. ‎ On July 16, 1960, she began her explore (探索). At first, the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with time passing, they got used to her being around.‎ Every day, Jane would follow the chimpanzees, taking notes on their behavior. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool.‎ She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched how mother chimpanzees raised their children. She watched animals get angry and get upset. She wrote everything down so others would understand animals as she did. She learned that if you pay really close attention to animals, you will understand what they are “saying”.‎ ‎50. Jane Goodall grew up in the ____.‎ A. countryside B. city C. town D. college ‎51. Jane learned chimpanzees could ____.‎ A. ride a horse B. follow her C. make a tool D. understand her ‎52.

In school, do you rush from one subject to another?‎ When things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning.‎ Self reflection means slowing down and calming (使平静) yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self reflections only in their mind. Others keep a diary or written notes. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning. ‎ School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier for someone to begin self reflection. Look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as math, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self reflection.‎ Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. ‎ Next, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic. ‎ Self reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self reflection, try it now.‎ ‎53. We do self reflection to ____.‎ A. have more activities and subjects B. make things happen faster and better C. think about what we have learned D. let our brain have a good rest ‎54. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Taking notes is necessary when we do self reflection.‎ B. It’s a good time to do self refection when we finish a unit.‎ C. Self reflection should be done after class in the school.‎ D. It’s easy for us to find answers when we do self reflection.‎ ‎55. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. Self Reflection in Mind or Taking Notes?‎ B. Self Reflection Makes You A Better Learner C. Why Not Try These Steps of Self Reflection?‎ ‎ D. Find A Good Time and Place for Self Reflection ‎ ‎ D ‎ I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.‎ I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.‎ Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.‎ Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.‎ The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.‎ I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.‎ I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.‎ ‎56. The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.‎ A. discussing historical ideas deeply ‎ B. studying and discussing the materials ‎ C. leaving technology out of the classroom D. making right use of technology in class ‎57. The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.‎ A. similar B. unforgettable C. special D. unpleasant ‎58. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.‎ B. The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.‎ C. The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion. ‎ D. Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.‎ ‎59. The writer wants to tell us that ____.‎ A. technology has different influences in different classes in college B. technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class C. history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking ‎ D. it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）‎ ‎ Anna and Robin Strange live in England.

Men and women came to the place hoping to find gold and become rich. One said in his diary, “My dream is to find gold so that I can make a new life.” ‎ People’s dreams did not always come true as they had hoped. Firstly, the trip was very hard to make. People who came from the eastern United States faced a long trip across the country. People who came from Europe found it took six months to travel by ship to San Francisco. It was a dangerous journey.‎ ‎ Then, when they got to California, most people found that mining (采矿) was a hard life. Few people made money by mining for gold.
