I have known Ting for a long time. She was a friend of mine in high school. Ting used to see me as her best friend in my class because, as she said, it was easy to be friends with me. Therefore, when we had time in school, she often came to me and we would talk about many things. Though I didn’t have special feelings about this friend, I was fine with this because I didn’t see the reason why I should say “no” to a friend I didn’t hate.

But there was a while when she came to me, and usually said nothing meaningful. I started to feel tired and then tried not to meet her. After that she never came to me. Though guilty, I started to feel free about my life and never thought of anything about her feeling.

After a month or two, I heard from other friends that Ting’s father had passed away six months before. I was so shocked! Then I suddenly realized why Ting had often come to me but said nothing special. She needed my company (陪伴). I felt so bad about myself that I went to find her the next day. But I onlyfound that she had moved away to another place.

At that time, I found myself so selfish that I only thought of myself but didn’t even try to ask a friend what happened in her life.

Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.

The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.

To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.

There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.

One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (个人的) projects without being bothered (打扰). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.

Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!

33. What is the idea behind the school?

   A. The children are creative.            B. All the students need to be taught.

   C. All the students must be successful.      D. All the students must have high grades.

34. From the passage we can infer (推断) that       .

   A. students are bored in the school         

B. students are tired in the school

   C. students learn freely in the school    

D. students learn from their teachers in the school

35. “The Cave is a secluded place ….” The word “secluded” probably means “      ” in Chinese.

   A. 清静的       B. 固定的           C. 预定的           D. 混合的

36. Paragraph 5 mainly tells us that       .

   A. the school doesn’t have grades           B. the school has clever students

   C. the school has five learning areas       D. the school doesn’t have classrooms

In today’s Internet age, the need for online games continues to grow. There are online computer game centers in many cities and towns throughout Asia. Facing the pressures of school and life, people like to relax in the virtual (虚拟的) world, expecting a diversion from these problems.

He did this to continue playing an online game. Such problems, however, don’t just happen in South Korea. They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well.

What kinds of people develop online game addiction? What does the problem look like? Dr. SueHuei Chen, a clinical psychologist (临床心理学家), researches Internet addiction. She discovered some signs of at-risk persons such as lacking friendships or good social skills. They feel it so necessary to play online games that they could give up things such as school or family. They feel the need to spend more and more time online. And they become unhappy if anyone tries to stop their online game playing.

Make sure to control your online game playing. If you don’t control it, it can get control of you.

Hearst Castle (城堡) in San Simeon, California, is now one of the most famous buildings in the world. The Great castle has 58 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, a theater, and a zoo! It was designed by a female architect(女建筑师) named Julia Morgan, who worked on it for more than 20 years. Hearst Castle is her most famous work, but she also built more than 800 other buildings.

Julia Morgan was born in 1872 in San Francisco, California. After finishing high school, Morgan went to the University of California at Berkeley.

In 1919, a very rich American named William Randolph Hearst hired Morgan to design a castle. He wrote Morgan hundreds of letters full of instructions, and he often changed his mind. Sometimes he told her to build something, then he told her to take it down and rebuild it in another place. But Morgan paid careful attention to Hearst’s requests and wasn’t afraid of hard work. She would climb ladders to check the work herself. From 1919 until 1947, she traveled 200 miles from San Francisco to San Simeon three weekends a month.

In 1946, Morgan closed her office and traveled for the rest of her life. she died in 1957. Her buildings still influence architects today.

Your parents always tell you that a good education is the key to a successful future. For those of you who have graduated from high school, the promise you made to finish your schooling has been completed. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn’t sound too attractive; so what are your choices? Let’s see, Choice 1—You can live with your parents and basically do nothing. Or Choice 2—You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we’ll just suppose that they aren’t related.

Okay, so Choice 2 is obviously going to be more productive (有效的). You will finally be entering the real world. What would be a good place to start? Well, hopefully high school helped to give you some sort of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you won’t like. Gaining knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be good by helping you in your search to find the job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to research jobs and get some hands on work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in providing you with some valued experience. Internships (见习) or volunteering are usually a good place to start.

If you are ready to begin a job after high school, you will clearly be saving money from college cost and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the workforce is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to school and get a degree. Besides, a college degree will usually mean higher pay.

Two different   62	Ø  The first choice is that you do nothing, just   63   with your parents. Ø  The second choice is that you could go out to   64  .
The   65   of starting work	Ø  Speaking with other people for   66   about the job you may be interested in. Ø  Getting knowledge in work can be good to help you find an   67   job.  Ø  Internships or volunteering are a good   68  .
The   69   to begin a job after high school	Ø  One is that you will not   70   for college cost clearly. Ø  Another is that jumping into the workforce is sometimes the only way to help you   71   sure if you are really ready to work.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为72—81的相应位置上。
