It was the last day of final examinations at a large college. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was ahout to begin. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they graduated(畢業(yè))and found jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had，others of jobs they would get. With four years of college study，they felt ready and able to conquer(征服)the world.
The coming exam，they knew，would be easy. The professor(教授)had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted，but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test.
They walked into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. The students’ smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours passed and the exam came to an end. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. They seemed worried. No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.
She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked，“How many students completed all five questions?”
Not a hand was put up.
‘‘How many of you answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three?Two?”The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One，then. Certainly somebody finished one．”But the class stayed silent. The professor put down the papers.“That is just what I expected，”she said.
“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom. You can’t expect to be an expert(專家)on the day you graduate. You have to learn as you go.”
Then，smiling, she added，“You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just begun.’’
小題1:What does the underlined word“restlessly”mean in the passage?
A．confidentIyB．proudlyC．excitedlyD．nervously
小題2:Why did the professor design the final exam in such a way?
A．To make the students realize that they still had much to learn after graduation.
B．To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice.
C．To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering.
D．To examine whether the students learned what they had been taught in her class.
小題3:What can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Playful JokeB．A Lucky Chance
C．A Strange ProfessorD．A Special Exam

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!”says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote (投票)each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school money, and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
小題1:What's special about the school?
A．There is nobody but students there.
B．All the students are of the same age.
C．There are no classes for the students.
D．There are no rules in the school.
小題2:What do the students do in the school?
A．They learn everything there from the staff members.
B．They grow up there without learning anything.
C．They spend all the time with their parents.
D．They do whatever they are interested in.
小題3:The school seems to believe that children________.
A．learn best when they are doing what they want
B．a(chǎn)re too young to learn anything by themselves
C．can look after themselves without any help
D．can't go to college without any hard work
小題4:The last paragraph wants to tell us that_         .
A．the writer doesn't like the idea of the school
B．the school is quite successful in its work
C．most of the parents don't believe in the school
D．younger students learn better there than older ones
小題5:The underlined word career in the last paragraph most probably means_.
A. family   B. money    C. lifestyle   d. job

In many high schools，there are strict rules about using mobile phones. If your phone rings in class，for example，the teacher will be very angry.
Every mobile phone has a ringtone (鈴聲). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now，there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子鈴聲)”. Using it，students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening. How?
Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older，we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (頻率). As a result，a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it’s_inaudible_to someone 20 or older.
But sometimes，people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone. In class，the student’s phone rang. The 32­year­old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule：no mobile phone in class.”
Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones，a high school student of 17，says，“Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure，but not in class. It’s unfair to the teachers！”
What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters，” says Connie Neeson,44.“Think about it. Yon’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it. However，it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class.”
小題1:Mosquitotone works because ________.
A．it is very loudB．it has no sound
C．it has a beautiful soundD．it uses high frequencies
小題2:The under lined part “it’s_inaudible_to” means “________”．
A．it can’t be seen byB．it can’t be heard by
C．it isn’t popular withD．it isn’t healthy for
小題3:The 32­year­old teacher felt unhappy because the student ________.
A．was late for classB．didn’t do his homework
C．couldn’t answer her questionD．was using a mobile phone in class
小題4:Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone ________.
A．has no bad influenceB．is unfair to the teachers
C．has its advantage and disadvantageD．can’t be used in any public place

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (糞肥), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化糞池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(細菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼氣)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (發(fā)電機).
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
小題1:We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
A．make electricity B．produce fertilizerC．build their farm D．feed the cows
小題2:How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
A．Marie Audet does the workB．The job is done by machine
C．The cows lift the cow wastesD．Bacteria get to work on them
小題3: According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
A．The power of moving water. B．The heat of burning coal.
C．The power of sunlight.D．The heat of the methane gas
小題4:The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
A．reducingB．savingC．recyclingD．changing
小題5: What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
A．To introduce a new way of making electricityB．To explain how a new energy works better
C．To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD．To explain the reasons for green house effect
