Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can’t imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.
【1】In the writer’s opinion, .
A. more schools should be built
B. schools are necessary
C. schools are not necessary
D. there should be fewer schools
【2】What does “a new kind of school” mean?

26、 Have you ever been on a student exchange program? How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions.
Ellen
I spent 8 days in Germany when I was studying for my Level A. I went to school every day, and spent the evenings with a family. It was great because I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was paying more attention to communicating in the language, instead of speaking perfectly correct German. I was really glad that people could understand what I was saying. I’d certainly introduce it to other students studying languages.
Frank
I went on an exchange with my class for a week in Japan. Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I had much trouble listening and speaking. So, what I thought most meaningful was that I had no choice but to use everyday language skills, rather than the language from books. If I had the opportunity, I’d certainly take part in another language exchange.
Alice
I took part in a French exchange. It lasted two weeks and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. I’m quite a shy person, so in the first few days, I was kind of nervous, but then it was fine. I love French and my French has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident person. It felt great to be able to talk with French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their end-of-year exams.
【1】How long did Frank stay in Japan?
A.A week B.Eight days. C.Two weeks. D.Half a year.
【2】What did Alice think about her exchange?
A.It developed her listening skills. B.It made her more confident.
C.It taught her exam skills. D.It took too much of her time.
【3】All three people would most likely describe their exchange as .
A.tiring B.exciting C.boring D.helpful
【4】Who will be interested in the passage above?
A.Students who are learning a foreign language.
B.Students who want to work as teachers later.
C.Students who are interested in traveling abroad.
D.Students who are not doing well in their studies.
27、The First Lady’s Travel Journal: Touring the Forbidden City March 21, 2014
After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing.
For more than 2,000 years (up until 1912), China was ruled by emperors who descended (传递) from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home.
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms.
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll (闲逛) through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces.
The Forbidden City is too large to fully experience in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace (交泰殿) has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons. The Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿) is where the emperor watched birthday celebrations and coronation (加冕) ceremonies from his Dragon Throne (龙椅). And then there are the Imperial Gardens (御花园), where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress (柏树) trees.
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything. But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place.
【1】The writer visited The Forbidden City with _______.
A. her daughters B. her husband
C. her mother D. her mother and two daughters
【2】The Forbidden City is a _______.
A. city B. palace
C. village D. garden
【3】The Forbidden City was used as _______ for nearly 500 years until 1912.
A. a museum
B. the emperor’s short-lived home
C. a place of interest for public
D. the emperor’s home
【4】What does the word “highlights” mean in the passage?
A.景观亮点 B.聚光灯
C. 光亮 D. 最大的部分
【5】 According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that _______.
A. They had enough time to visit every room
B. The Forbidden City was used as a museum till 1925
C. The first lady enjoyed all of the art and history in this wonderful place
D. There are more than 1,000 buildings and less than 10,000 rooms
