26、 NEW YORK—Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men--about two-thirds of both genders(性别)--yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.
American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it's just, 'Give me the facts',” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. “For women, it's 'Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem? ' It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two-thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68 per cent of the male respondents(调查对象), and 66 per cent of the female participants－a statistically insignificant difference given the study's margin of sampling error (误差幅度) of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61 per cent vs. 57 per cent.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
【1】Where can we read the passage?
A.A daily paper. B.A magazine. C.An advertisement. D.A survey.
【2】In which way do men use the Internet as much as women do?
A.Checking the sports information. B.Downloading music.
C.Taking a class. D.Getting travel information.
【3】Which is Deborah Fallows' opinion?
A.Men care about facts while women don't care about facts.
B.Men pay more attention to the result while women the process.
C.Men don't like to communicate with people while women like to connect with people.
D.Men are cold while women are enthusiastic.

28、A favorite dish for purple sea urchins(海胆) living off the coast of California is kelp(巨藻). The problem is, those kelp forests are shrinking rapidly and that’s hurting the oceanic ecosystem. So a group of scientists carried out an experiment to see if these sea urchins can themselves become a dish.
Just off the coast, three divers get ready to jump in. They’re students from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. The task: Count purple sea urchins. Their professor, Luke Gardner expects they’ll find plenty of urchins. And that’s not a good thing. “What they do is they just eat everything in sight,” Gardner says. These purple creatures are eating up California’s kelp forests, which provide food and shelter for numerous sea animals.
The problem began around 2014. That’s when Gardner says warmer ocean temperatures began affecting the reproduction of kelp. It’s also when a disease killed off sunflower sea stars, a killer of purple sea urchins. Therefore, the purple sea urchin population grows very fast.
The divers bring Gardner quite a lot of purple sea urchins. What’s inside is the part we eat, the uni (海胆黄) —a type of delicious food in Japanese cuisine. “The problem with these purple sea urchins is that when you open them up, sometimes there’s nothing in there. And they might be a little smaller compared to market-sized urchins,” says Gardner.
Then, it is time for the taste test. The class crowds into the kitchen of the restaurant Aubergine. Here, chef Justin Cogley serves uni from around the world. He opens up the purple sea urchins, taking the orange uni out and prepares it on a fried potato. “Honestly, it’s rich and buttery,” Cogley says. His conclusion? He’ll serve it.
It’s a tasty end to the project. But this could be just the beginning. A company called Urchinomics has been selling its human-raised urchins in Japan. Now, it is working to secure a site in California. It’s all in an effort to save the state’s kelp forests and help the thousands of animals that depend on them.
【1】What is the scientists’ experiment about?
A．Turning purple sea urchins into a dish.
B．Finding new food for purple sea urchins.
C．Discovering the causes of a poor ecosystem.
D．Studying the ecosystem of the coast of California.
【2】How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A．By presenting research findings.
B．By following time order.
C．By analyzing causes.
D．By making comparisons.
【3】According to Gardner, what’s a problem with purple sea urchins?
A．Their uni tastes like bad butter.
B．They don’t all have uni inside.
C．They can’t be raised by humans.
D．Their size is beyond the market standard.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Save California’s Kelp by Eating Purple Sea Urchins.
B．A Scientist’s Cooking Dream Comes True in California.
C．Kelp Forests Suffer Because of Japanese Cuisine.
D．Clean Up the Sea by Restoring Kelp Forests.
29、 Pre-school teacher Rosa Ramirez has a special way of asking her students to line up for playtime outside. “Pueden pararse si llevan puesto algo de color amarillo, como una abeja,” she tells them. In English, Ramirez would say, “You can stand up if you are wearing yellow—like a bee.” But this is the half of the school day in which she teaches completely in Spanish.
Students are not confused by her language choice. Most of the four-year-olds wearing yellow stand up as instructed. The pre-school bilingual program at Gates Street Early Education Center in Lincoln Heights is part of a growing number of bilingual education models in California and across the country. Many of them are designed to serve students from Spanish-speaking families, as well as students from other cultures, under growing evidence that learning two languages can help people from all backgrounds become stronger students.
About 3.8 million students in U.S. schools are native Spanish speakers who are not good at English. They make up a large part of about five million students nationwide identified as English language learners. English language learners are the fastest-growing population in schools and the lowest-performing, as judged by achievement tests and graduation rates. Sixty-seven percent of students with limited English skills graduated from high school after four years in 2016, compared with 84% of all students.
Language experts recommend how to improve the situation: more high-quality, long-term bilingual programs can close the achievement gap between English learners and native English Speakers after five to six years, according to research.
The programs can be hard to put into practice. Problems include a debate over the best way to teach English learners, shortages of bilingual teachers, and even the fact that bilingual programs often grow fastest in areas where upper-income parents ask for them. That’s good for children who participate, but it worries people who want to see language-minority students have equal access.
“If we can make children feel more ready and more accepted, then we’ve gone a long way to making them ready to learn, ” says Tara Fortune, an expert in children education.
【1】How do the pre-school children react after hearing Rosa Ramirez's words?
A.They all stand up and try to catch bees.
B.Most children in yellow stand up as she asks.
C.They are all happy to wear new yellow clothes.
D.A large number of the children are confused.
【2】What is the purpose of bilingual education models in America?
A.To help students from other cultures study.
B.To help students learn as many languages as they can.
C.To make English popular among students abroad.
D.To make students from other backgrounds physically stronger.
【3】What is the situation of students who are native Spanish speakers, according to the passage?
A.They make up a small share of English language learners.
B.Sixteen percent of them fail to graduate every year on average.
C.They perform relatively poorly in studies.
D.84% of them can graduate with good scores.
【4】What is the bilingual program like?
A.It is not accepted by rich families from other cultures.
B.It is not a good thing if it lasts for the whole life of students.
C.It is common in schools with students from different backgrounds.
D.It is hard to introduce especially with language-minority students.
