21、The Internet can be a great way to connect with people.The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace.More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.
That cyberspace（网络空间）trend is causing problems in school,however.In a recent survey,nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts.Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?
Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully（恐吓）other students.One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.
Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers,and some have suspended（暂缓）students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers.Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes,according to the US Census Bureau.
It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant,“Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”
Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking.They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them.“Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,”Jim Hirsch said,“Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”
Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits.“Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,”explains Hirsch.
【1】Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?
A. At the teacher’s office. B. At the net bar.
C. At the classroom. D. At home.
【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean .
A. some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sites
B. some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sites
C. some educators can’t connect social networking sites easily
D. some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.
B. There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.
C. Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.
D. Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question.
【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Lessons Online? B. Friendship Online?
C. Dangers Online? D. Information Online?

This Year’s Theme
All participants must address how communication or transportation technology has promoted the quality of life for Americans throughout history. To many people, technology means computers, hand-held devices, or vehicles that travel to distant planets. However, technology is also the application of scientific knowledge to solve a problem, touching lives in countless ways.
Individuals or groups may enter one of the following categories:
· Performance
· Documentary
· Essay Writing
Category Requirements
Performance: A dramatic presentation of the topic no more than 10 minutes long. If special clothes are used, they should truly represent a given period.
Documentary: A visual presentation (such as a video, slide show, or computer project) no more than 10 minutes long. A desktop computer, screen, projector, and loudspeakers will be available. Students must provide their presentations on CDs before Friday, March 23.
Essay Writing: An academic paper of 2, 000 to 2, 500 words. No illustrations (图解) are allowed. Please do not include covers. A list of references must be included.

24、We’ve learned bees can understand zero and do basic math. Now a new study shows their tiny insect brains may be able to connect symbols to numbers.
Adrian Dyer, a professor in the RMIT University, said the research showed brains far smaller than humans’ could know numbers. “Humans learn numbers as children, but being able to recognize what numbers really represent needs a certain level of cognitive (认知的) ability,” Dyer says, “Studies have shown primates (灵长类动物) and birds have this ability, but this is the first time we’ve seen this in insects.”
It’s important for humans to do the research. There are 86 billion neurons (神经元) in humans’ brains. Bees only have less than a million. If bees have the ability to learn something difficult to understand like human-made symbolic language, this will open up exciting new paths for future communication between humans and animals.
Studies have shown that a number of animals have been able to learn symbols of numbers, including parrots and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers and could order them correctly. An African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn numbers and could do simple calculation.
Understanding how tiny brains of bees manage information opens paths to technology, which is good for the future design of computing (计算) systems.
【1】What does Adrian Dyer say about the research?
A．The finding of the research is first seen in insects.
B．Humans’ brains are the biggest on the earth.
C．Birds can be as clever as primates.
D．Bees are cleverer than birds.
【2】What do we know about the research?
A．Humans may find a new path to communicate with animals.
B．Bees have more neurons than monkeys.
C．Insects have the ability to communicate with humans.
D．Bees can solve basic math problems.
【3】Who is Alex according to the text?
A．A child.
B．A monkey.
C．An expert.
D．A parrot.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Bees can communicate with other animals.
B．Bees can attach symbols to numbers.
C．Some animals can do math problems.
D．Bees can make communication with humans.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who is five years old, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was bloodhock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, “Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone,” Seeing that there was a flower stall（摊位）at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower? It will make her feel better.” I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed.”
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.”He then turned to me, “You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, “Happy Mother's Day to you, too.”
注意：所续写短文为一段,词数80左右；开头语已为你写好。
After a moment, the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance,
