Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production existed in China from around 2500 B.C., although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone revealing the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished by death.At one time silk was reserved only for the Chinese emperor. Gradually, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk came to have industrial uses in ancient China, something that happened in the West only in modern times. Silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, weapons, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money. Farmers paid taxes in both rice and silk. The prices of goods were calculated in lengths of silk just as they had once been calculated in gold. The importance of silk is even reflected in the Chinese language. For example, of the 5000 most mon Chinese characters, around 500 have silk as their “key”.In spite of their secrecy, the Chinese eventually lost their monopoly on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B.C. when immigrants from China arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A.D. It was not until 500 A.D. that silk production came to Europe when travellers smuggled out silkworms in hollow tubes of bamboo. These were used to establish silk industry in Rome (modern-day Italy), although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. The land route in particular had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods silver, gold, jade, porcelain passed along this road. Ideas travelled the Silk Road too. For example the religion of Buddhism was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, exposing many people to the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.11How was China able to keep the secret of silk production?A. It refused to sell its silk to other countries.B. Foreigners were not permitted to enter China.C. The silkworms needed were not able to survive outside China.D. Chinese passing on the secret to foreigners were seriously punished.12Which of the following uses of silk is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. A way of purchasing goods people sold.B. A material used for making different products.C. A method of paying money to the government.D. A valuable gift given to foreigners travelling in China.13In what order did silk production spread throughout the world according to the passage?A. Europe India Korea China.B. China Korea India Europe.C. China India Korea Europe.D. China Europe India Korea.14The underlined phrase “smuggled out” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. quietly traded B. openly removedC. illegally transported D. violently stole15Which of the following is true about the Silk Road?A. It allowed for economic and cultural exchanges between countries.B. It made China the most powerful country in the ancient world.C. It could only be pleted by travellers with access to a boat.D. It was first developed for transferring religious ideas.阅读理解。Ever wonder how this seasons celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But Im not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.Lately Ive been particularly curious as to whether Santas old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santas magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, dont plain to the government about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.Santas yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santas sled forward. To plete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if theyre eating corn, theyd need to eat 16,500 lbs each or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that well leave for another calculation.We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “letting out” some of that corn in the form of methane (甲烷，沼气). A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santas round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!Bad Santa.16 Which aspect does the writer NOT include in her analyses about reindeers influence on environment?A. Distance covered. B. Calories consumed.C. Tons of waste let out. D. Money spent on food.17According to Paragraph 6, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 10 reindeer?A. 1.6. B. 16.C. 12.8. D. 128.18Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?A. Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.B. Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat-eaters.C. Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.D. The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.19Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?A. Humourous and concerned. B. Cheerful and friendly.C. Academic and formal. D. Serious and boring.20Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Is Santa driving clean and green?B. Santa, watch where youre going!C. Santa Claus is ing to town!D. Lets reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated munity with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.21A persons intelligence _A. stays unchanged in a certain environment.B. develops with the change of environmentC is born at the same level as anyone elses.D.is affected by the environment as well as the sort of brain he is born with22What is meant by “he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.”?A He will never fail to develop his intelligenceB.He wont bee so intelligent as he shouldC. He is able to reach a high level of intelligenceD.It is impossible for him to develop intelligence23Which of the following statements is true concerning the twins ?A. The sorts of brain they are born with differ greatlyB. They set up an example for studying the environmentC. They became orphans once they were bornD. They were adopted boys24According to the text , the environment in which the twins were reared differs in the following aspects except _.A.intelligence level of the parents .B.family economic status.C.the age of their parents .D. munity surroundings.阅读下面短文， 从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boys high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, See me after class.“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, Why did I receive a low mark?”“The teacher said, This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You e from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. Theres no way you could ever do it. Then the teacher added, If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to acplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal municationboth written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligencetextbook, pencil, and paperare giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now mon in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help prehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have bee mon in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and prehension through puter-based reading.Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only position but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.Technology enhanced oral munication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to municate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overe the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.puter definitely aided language learning and puter mediated munication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been prehensive studies on the use of
