There is no doubt that we’re living in the middle of an information explosion. We are surrounded by a sea of information provided by mobile phones,computers,and TVs,which we struggle to deal with.
What should we do to fight this information overload? Firstly,there’s no need for us to get news from a hundred different sources,especially when most of them cover the same topics every now and then. So choose just one of them. Secondly,we should focus only on what’s valuable for us and say no to the junk information. In short,we should be the master of information instead of its slave.

Finally,in the summer before eighth grade,my bar mitzvah arrived. I gave a speech,and lots of people donated on the spot. I felt so 55 and excited.
Then I sent an e-mail to everyone I knew and who my parents knew,letting them know how to donate. I have to admit,I was seriously 56 . Few people donated and even fewer passed along my 57 . I realized: This is going to be way 58 than I thought. But I was 59 . So I kept sending e-mails and talking about my project to 60 the message.
The Archimedes Alliance eventually raised $40,101.60,which we donated to the charity that got the most votes.

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners) . It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.
Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state,setting off a fierce new debate.
A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo's proposal (提議) .
Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York's prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.
“You pay $60,000 for a prison cell for a year，”Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years,and that5 s $600,000. Right now,chances are almost half. Once he's set free,he's going to come right back."
Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $5,000 a year per person. He argues ,“It's a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison."
But even some members of the governor's own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell,whose upstate district includes three state prisons,says taxpayers just won't stand for inmates getting a free college education,while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids,college fees.
“That is the vast majority of feedback(反饋) that I'm also getting from my constituents (選民） she says. “You know, ‘ Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law? ’ ”
“I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes,who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994,President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.
Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time,by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.
“It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State."
32. The underlined word “rehabilitate” probably means “ ”. ,
A. let people know more about prisoners
B. help someone have a normal life again
C. allow prisoners to experience the world
D. encourage someone to help other people
33. What is the debate about?
A. Lawmakers,rights in New York.
B. College classes for New York's citizens.
C. Higher education in New York's prisons.
D. Punishments given to New York's criminals.
34. Cuomo does the calculations to prove .
A. almost half of prisoners are likely to come back into prison
B. college classes for inmates can save taxpayers’ money
C. the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise
D. it is very difficult to reduce the number of inmates
35. Most of Russell's constituents believe Cuomo's proposal .
A. is unfair to middle-class families
B. will benefit citizens obeying laws
C. will be useless for improving prisons
D. is based on most taxpayers’ feedback

Skiing is a winter sport that involves the use of skis. 36 Skiers attach them to their shoes or boots and use them to get over snow,often down a mountain slope. Nordic skiing and Alpine skiing are major events of the Winter Olympic Games.
Nordic skiing started in Norway and other countries of northern Europe. Nordic skiing events include cross-country racing and ski jumping.37 A cross-country skier must be able to ski uphill,downhill,and across flat areas. In a ski-jumping competition the skier gets down a steep ramp(斜坡) that curves upward at the end. The skier leaps off the end and tried to “fly” as far as possible and then land on his or her feet. The skier who leaps the farthest and has the best style is the winner. 38
Alpine skiing started in the Alps of central Europe. Alpine events include downhill and slalom racing. Downhill racing is the fastest and most dangerous of all skiing events. The skier goes down a long,steep course that may have large bumps (隆起物) .Along the course are gates formed by single poles or pairs of poles. 39 The winner is the skier who completes the course in the shortest time. Slalom racing is similar to downhill racing. However,a slalom course is shorter and more winding than a downhill course. 40
A. It requires the skier to make high-speed turns.
B. Cross-country skiing takes place on open,hilly land.
C. The skier must ski between them and stay on the course.
D. Skis are long,mostly flat pieces of metal,wood,or plastic.
E. The skier races over and around large bumps of snow called moguls.
F. They are allowed to touch gates with their bodies as long as their skis stay on the course.
G. The event called the Nordic combined includes a ski-jumping race and a cross-country race.

Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best. Similarly,students’ performance varies in what types of test they are given. Therefore,it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested. However,this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material. Teachers are already very busy,creating tests,grading,coming up with interesting lesson plans,teaching classes,not to mention holding parent teacher conferences,and creating new tests would only add to their burden.
Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways. For instance,how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book? Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay. But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn’t write a critical essay about something in it.
This is not to say,however,that students should be graded in the same manner every time. This would be equally unfair as again,different students test better when assessed by different methods. Therefore,teachers need to be sure to give essay tests,multiple choice tests,as well as other multi-media(多媒體） projects to assess their students,just not over the same material. This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they’ re not good at. For instance,a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project. Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities. As such,students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit. If a student is a strong essay writer,they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade. This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren’ t as accomplished.
28. We know from Paragraph 1 that if students could choose how they are tested,teachers would .
A. have more work
B. lose their authority C. change their lesson plans
D. prepare more testing materials
29. What does the underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Possibility. B. Difficulty.
C. Approach. D. Hesitation.
30. The author writes the last paragraph in order to.
A. draw a conclusion B. offer suggestions
C. predict the future D. prove his point
31. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A textbook.
B. An announcement.
C. A news report.
D. An education magazine.

I didn't go to Colorado to ski. I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.
Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning,we sat in a small classroom and our instructor,Robert,told us what to expect. The course,he explained,was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us,” Robert assured the class, “you’11 be fine."
On a snowy day when I was 4,I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day,but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed,I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the half-mile to school in the morning.
That first morning in Colorado,after we left the classroom and headed out to the track,my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina,it's your turn." I was lightheaded. I carefUlly did what I was instructed to do but when I turned,I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice,my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop,I sat rigid,trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely,wasn,t I? I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.
For the rest of the class,I continued practising,and I got better enough so that a week later,when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground,I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this,” I told myself. And I did.
24. In the classroom,Robert intended to help participants to .
A. know each other
B. build up confidence
C. learn about the course
D. put theory into practice
25. The accident made the author afraid to .
A. have kids in her car B. drive on snowy days
C. drive long distances D. be in a car by herself
26. What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?
A. Mixed. B. Puzzled.
C. Thankful. D. Regretful.
27. What do we know about the class?
A. It's tiring. B. It's helpful.
C. It's expensive. D. It's interesting.
