New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen  to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.
However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

What does the expression“at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.According to their own timetable.
B.Without their teachers’ help.
C.Because of their wonderful goals.
D.Against their parents’ hope.

From the passage we can learn that____.

A.students with iPads have less discussion in class
B.students get more fun from learning with iPads
C.iPads help students save time waiting for buses
D.iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

The writer probably agrees that____.

A.teachers can take control of students’ learning
B.exam results depend a lot on now technology
C.technology in education has a bright future
D.note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

B
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn around and ,sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “ six sense” really exists,  Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting.  The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
What’s the aim of the two experiments for?

A.Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
B.Explain when people can have a sixth sense
C.Show how people act while being watched in the lab.
D.Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.

What does parapsychologists say that humans have to sense?

A.a natural ability B.a natural staring ability
C.a strange thinking D.a looking feeling

The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means­­­­______.

A.value B.result
C.performance D.connection

In the second experiment, the subjects           .

A.could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
B.couldn’t tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t
C.couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.
D.could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.

What can we learn from the passage?

A.People are born with a sixth sense.
B.The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
C.The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D.People have a sixth sense in all places.

C
Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:
The first one - that I must work in an area I like - is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work  must lead me to solve some  new  and  hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with  a great  sense  of  satisfaction  that  thousands  of  people  have  become  better  persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable  persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people   _.

A.solve fewer problems B.choose a good life
C.be good family members D.provide hard things

The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because   _.

A.he has to bring out his best
B.it can make him more creative
C.he will have to work another day
D.it is possible for him to live better

The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means"   ".

A.trained B.praised C.accepted D.paid

The writer wants to tell us that everyone should   _.

A.become a knowledgeable person
B.join the army to become a better person
C.make preparations to find a satisfying job
D.help young people to choose an interesting job

What is the best title for the passage?

A.My Job Choice B.My Favorite Job
C.My Comfortable Life D.My Sense of Satisfaction

( A )
56. A"Gap Year" is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills. It's very popular in foreign countries.
57. Although you don't have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
58. A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn't always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
59. There's a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it's not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
60. Imagine an admission officer trying to admit(录取) only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However, one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?
Choose the best topic from A to F according to the meaning of the passage.

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. "That's an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
The Spring Festival is more meaningful for Chinese people.
The saying means the place where you live looks better than other places.
Foreign culture can't replace Chinese culture.
Some people worry that young Chinese ignore Chinese culture.
This passage mentioned three Chinese festivals.

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds(秒) before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?

A.To cross a road slowly.
B.To follow the basic traffic rules.
C.To wait for the traffic light to turn green.
D.To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.A CCTV news program.
B.A research group at Tongji University.
C.A post on Sina Weibo.
D.A daily newspaper.

How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?

A.About five minutes.
B.Less than one minute.
C.Less than one and a half minutes.
D.More than ten minutes.

Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

A.Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
B.Because there are too many people on the road.
C.Because the red light lasts too long.
D.Because people have less patience.

The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.

A.punish the jaywalkers
B.reduce (减少) the time of red lights
C.ignore the traffic rules
D.call on people to obey the traffic rules

C
Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if (要是……又怎样) their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.
________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.

A.A parent
B.A teacher
C.Either a teacher or a parent
D.Neither a teacher nor a parent

【浙江省台州市2015年中考英语试题】阅读理解(本题有15小题,每小题2分,共计30分)
阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The question comes from the Bible(圣经). In the Bible, Cain kills his brother Abel. When God asks Cain where Abel is, he replies, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” by which he means, “Am I responsible (有责任心的) for my brother—his safety and health?” The answer, of course, is “Yes, you are.”
This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies. And also it is basic to what we call “civil(文明的) society”. China is now working on building a civil society and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering. They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation. This is something new in China, but it is not new in other countries.
In the Canadian province of Ontario, high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering. In some American states, the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours. These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations, helping the poor, the sick and the old. They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment. And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.
Some of you may be thinking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a lot. How can I find the time?” In fact, if you finish it in three years, you only need to do the work about three class hours a month. And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that “being your brother’s keeper” makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.
A Shanghai high school student should finish         class hours of volunteer work before graduation.

A.thirty B.forty C.sixty D.one hundred

The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to “       ”.

A.building a civil society B.reading the Bible
C.doing the volunteer work D.playing more sports

According to the writer, “being your brother’s keeper” means “       ”.

A.being a good school student
B.being responsible for others
C.taking good care of your brother
D.doing volunteer work with your brother

The main purpose of the writing is to         .

A.tell students where to do volunteer work
B.give advice on how to be a good volunteer
C.encourage students to do more volunteer work
D.introduce volunteer work in different countries

【浙江省台州市2015年中考英语试题】阅读理解(本题有15小题,每小题2分,共计30分)
阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The Vine That Ate the South
Kudzu is a fast-growing vine(蔓生植物) that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn’t know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path(路径).
In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.
In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil(土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.
The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they can not get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons(毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.
Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.
We can learn from the passage that         .

A.kudzu mostly grows in the northern America
B.kudzu was brought to Japan from America
C.kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weather
D.American government has never supported to plant kudzu

The underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “       ”.

A. not easily broken B.widely used
C.hard to grow D.important to one’s health

The last paragraph is mostly about         .

A. how quickly the vine grows
B.how people use the vine
C.why people want to kill the vine
D.why people eat the vine

The writer uses the title “The Vine That Ate the South” most probably to         .

A.let readers know kudzu is a vine
B.interest readers in a way
C.tell readers the vine is a kind of food
D.get readers to realize the passage is serious
