Reduce, Reuse and Recycle BThe Internet is playing a more and more important role in schools and other cases. We know schools now are almost all connected to the Internet. But some have more technology，and use it more，than others. For example，some schools use puters for activities like video conferencing(会议) to bring the world into the classroom.And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board，a kind of interactive(互动的)whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations. They connect to a puter and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project videos.Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones. But educators say the most important thing，as always，is the content(内容，容量).Yet technology can have special importance in some cases. Cosmobot is a therapy(治疗)robot. It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.One child who works with it is six-year-old Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia；he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.He works with Carole SemangoSprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therapy for his condition. Here，he uses a set of buttons attached to a puter to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles. Kevins mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed by AnthroTronix. Corinna Lathan started the pany more than ten years ago to work with children with developmental disabilities. Children bee friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions. Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British pany to develop other socially helpful robots. She says they are still considered research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that.24. We can learn from the passage that _Amost schools dont use new technology in teaching nowBthe Internet is now widely used in schools Cthe Internet is as important as textbooks in schools nowDvideo conferencing will bee widespread in the world soon25. What do we know about the Smart Board?AIt is so expensive that most schools cant afford it.BIt is mainly used to project videos in the classroom.CIt can be operated by touch to display documents.DIt can work as long as it is connected to electricity.26. The underlined word “dyspraxia” in Paragraph 5 refers to“_”Alanguage barrierBloss of memoryCvisual damageDmovement disorder 27. According to the passage, the Cosmobot _Ais designed for children to play withBis costly and not user-friendlyChas cured many children nowDhas gained the trust of Kevins mother CWith December 25 approaching, all the shops always have good ideas to promote their products. Broadcasting songs all the time is among them. Endless playing of songs like All I Want for Christmas Is You in shops during the festive season doesnt just drive us mad the songs also make us more careless with our money, the research has warned.While the repeated performance of Jingle Bells may seem like an innocent attempt to raise customers spirits during the nightmare of Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more delicate impact.“Background music or Muzak can be used by marketers to impose（施加影响）cultures such as the mercialization of Christmas onto consumers and influence their behavior,” experts said.Dr Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of London, said，“Festive jingles are forcefed to Christmas shoppers to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control their shopping habits in a way that they might hardly be aware of.”“Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so mon that our freedom to choose disappears.”Dr Bradshaw and Professor Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to control their behavior.It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore they spend more time examining the shelves, for example.Some providers of background music have been known to promote their services by claiming they can boost（增加，宣传）profits by controlling the behavior of customers.“A mon trick is to take a popular current song and record an instrumental version which can be slowed down or sped up at different time of the day to influence behavior in different ways,” Dr Bradshaw said.Background music is often classed as “Muzak” in honour of the Seattlebased pany which began producing its softsounding melodies in the 1930s.28. According to Dr Bradshaw, in what ways does Christmas music influence customers?their mood their inetheir sense of time the sort of products they buyA. B. C. D. 29. Shopkeepers slow down the rhythm of music in shops to _A. help customers find what they really wantB. make customers and sales assistants relaxedC. let customers enjoy the beautiful musicD. let customers spend more time shopping30. What kind of music is now often adapted to influence customers in shops?A. Classical music.B. Folk songs.C. Popular modern songs.D. Jazz music.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Christmas music makes us spend moreB. Christmas “Muzak”C. How to make Christmas musicD. Music makes happy ChristmasDWhy do so many tourists e to Easter Island? Because it has world-famousstone statues（雕像）. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders (柱状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists ing from all over the world. The tourists e to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They e to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades（十年）.Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano（火山）using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped(崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors（胜利者）of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.32. What do we know about Easter Island?A. It is a big island of Chile. B. It is located in North Pacific OceanC. Its early inhabitants were Polynesians D. It was named after a Dutch explorer33. Scientists are still uncertain about _A. why people built the statues B. how people transported the statues C. where people made the statuesD. how many statues there are on the island34. What happened in 1680?A. The islanders started a war against outsiders B. Another 15 statues were put upC. People began to worship the statues D. Many statues were damaged 35.
