24、Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They say 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 how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked(链接) to libraries, museums, science centres, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local(本地的) stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up Web sites 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 go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway 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】Who thinks that students don't have to learn at school?

A. Everyone.     B. The writer.

C. Some people.   D. The teachers.

【2】What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?

A. A school with many new computers.

B. A school with many new students.

C. A school with many new teachers.

D. A school which is linked to the Internet.

【3】Older people ________.

A. never go on the Internet

B. go on the Internet more often than younger ones

C. use the Internet as much as younger ones

D. go on the Internet less often than younger ones

【4】What the writer thinks is that ______.

A. schools are still necessary

B. more schools should be built

C. there should be fewer schools

D. more computers are needed in schools

【5】Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A. Technology will change our way of learning.

B. If you are a student, you can set up Web sites to show new technology.

C. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.

D. On the Internet, you can visit another city's library as easily as the people there.

27、To let the cat out of the bag

A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. It reminds us of an interesting phrase, i.e. “to let the cat out of the bag”. In meaning it is the same as “to tell the secret”. And there is an old interesting story about it.

Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, most of the time they would throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman asked to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.

Now when someone lets out a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from.

【1】The woman wanted to buy ________.

A．a cloth bag

B．a chicken

C．a black cat

D．a bag and a chicken

【2】Why did the farmers put cats into their cloth bags instead of chickens?

A．Because the farmers liked cats.

B．Because people liked cats.

C．Because cats were cheaper than chickens.

D．Because cats were easy to find.

【3】John “lets the cat out of the bag” means that he ________.

A．makes everyone know a secret

B．puts the cats away from the bag

C．buys a cat in the bag

D．sells the cat in the bag

When I told my classmates about that, they were all surprised that I have a close 【3】 (关系) with Australia. However, I was so embarrassed (尴尬的) when they asked me some questions about Australia. They asked me whether there were thousands of 【4】 (羊) in my great­grandfather's home town and whether I had seen kangaroos there. At that time, I 【5】 (憎恨) myself very much. In fact, I have never been to Australia and we have no 【6】 (亲戚) there now.
