That conversation is a lotmore interesting if you have variety in the classroom,”adds Awuah.56.In Awuah?s opinion,Africa should be changed byA.investing more money for developmentB.developing computer scienceC.training future leaders for developmentD.founding more universities57.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph infers that “_____”.A.Awuah regretted that he had once worked with

InternetCPupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used inlessons,research suggests.They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts,anddisplay higher levels of concentration.Professor Anne Bamford,of the University of the Arts,London,studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries,including the UK.Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks,improving test scores by an average of 17 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons.They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding,increased attention span.more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons.Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film.Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影仪),laptops with good picture capabilities,3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms.But Danny Nicholson,an educationist,said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly.He said,“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting,I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(⼩玩意⼉).There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help,but most of the time,good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective.”In the US,one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1.000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms.And the University of Caledonia.which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin.has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils.Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version.64.What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?A.There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images.B.Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes.C.Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology.D.3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology.65.Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D_____.A.is of no help in classesB.has a bright future in classesC.is more practical than 2D modelsD.may not be affordable for schools66.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.3D technology will replace 2D models in the future.B.Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before.C.Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training.D.3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado.67.The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_____.A.absorbedB.annoyedC.relaxedD. confusedDA new /doc/c4331331844769eae109ed1b.html ernment report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with drug—resistant bacterial infections(感染),and 23,000 of them are dying as a result.The head of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably will grow.Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic(抗⽣素)drugs.Without urgent action to stop that trend,warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report,the miracle drugs to fight them won?t be available in the future.“If we are not careful,the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection.But if we act now,we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines.”The report names a drug—resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病),which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually.Of the number at least 14,000 result in death.Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti—bacterial agents.These can be：doctors prescribing(开药) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed,so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened,not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth.Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans.To limit the spread of resistant infections,experts recommend wider use of routine immunizations(预防),as well as hand—washing in hospitals and other health care facilities.Also,the report urges hand—washing by food handlers?Michael Bell,deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC,said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions.68.What?s the best title of the passage?A.Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the USB.Drug—Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the USC.Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the USD.Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US69.According to Frieden,we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics,or_____.A.we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibioticsB.there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the futureC.we can?t find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the futureD.more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year70.Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually,deaths add upto_____.A.at least 5.6％B.about 25％C.about 1.4％D.at least 2.5％71.One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is that_____.A.people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animalsB.doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patientsC.doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patientsD.patients don?t take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribeEDowning Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player,Andy Murray,will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵⼠头衔)for ending Britain?s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men?s champion title.David Cameron,the British prime minister,who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon.told reporters that he couldn?t t hink of anyone who deserves one more.More news on the knighthood is surely to come.but Murray?s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish.not English.Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland?s first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag.in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory.No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896.Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray?s achievement had been a victory for Britain.“Absolu tely,and for tennis fans everywhere,"Salmond said.“Let everyone enjoy the victory.But you will allow us just the little private thing.Let us wave our national flag.??The Scottish government,headed by Salmond,has announced that Scotland will hold a referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014.Murray,who lives in the London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane,has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue,and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views.But this was,make no mistake,a national moment.Murray?s semifinal victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers.the biggest of the year in Britain.The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million,the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the BBC.Only one name will go on the trophy(奖杯),but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event.Murray,who once had frequent fits of anger during matches,has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group.Murray?s rise to champion has clearly something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the2012 season.“He?s been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him.”Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title,beginning nextmonth,and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(⼲旱) well and truly over.72.The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray?s_____.A.achievementB.knighthoodC.champion titleD.nationality73.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Murray is the first British to have won the singles at Wimbledon.B.Murray?s victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew the biggest audience of the year.C.Murray has won the championship of the United States Open before.D.Murray was born a strong,talented and cool-headed tennis player.74.What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?A.Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain.B.Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held.C.British gover nment?s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon.D.The British people?s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied.75.What does the writer intend to tell us?A.The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray?s victory.B.Scotland is going to gain independence from BritainC.The secret lies behind Murray?s Wimbledon victory.D.Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum.第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第⼀节短⽂填词(共10⼩题；每⼩题1分,满分10分)阅读下⾯短⽂,根据以下提⽰：1)汉语提⽰,2)⾸字母提⽰,3)语境提⽰,在每个空格内填⼊⼀个适当的英语单词。
