11、ished on July 21, 2009.D. It also includes something about the PSAT/NMSQT.BJessica Westervelt, a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York, created an activity called House Hunters, which was inspired by the popular television show House Hunters International, for her Spanish class about
12、four years ago.Similar to the show,students work in groups, pretending to be real house agents,and look for three houses in Spanish-speaking countries.She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home,chores,travel and vacation. She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate
13、her students interests into the curriculum（课程）.At the time,a group of her students were big fans of the show.The students look for a home for Westervelt to buy to live in,or rent for vacation.She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget.Students work in groups of three,an
14、d each group is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaking country that fits the requirements.The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find.Each group presents their findings to the class,while the other students take notes.The entire activity is done in Spanish,so
15、students get to practice their writing,listening and conversation skills.They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries.Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.Westervelt says,I think any time that you can find
16、a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school,it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them.5.

19、nt.D. Learning should be combined with interest.CA new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.Nobody likes doing the dishes,but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way.According to a new study published in the JournalofPediatrics,
20、washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies(过敏).Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8.They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allerg
21、ies.Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand.So why would kids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis”, which says the reas
22、on kids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs(细菌)like bacteria and viruses. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉)or certain foods.Being exposed to germs, espe
23、cially early in life, is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr.Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden.“You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fa
24、shioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.9. What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?A. It can improve our immune system.B. It is easier than washing by machine.C. It costs less time than washing by machine.D. It might reduce the chance of developing allergies.10. What can
25、we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Our health depends much on our immune system.B. Children in clean environment must have allergies.C. Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.D. Hand-washed dishes are as clean as those washed by machine.11. What do we know about germs from the passage?A. Wi
26、thout germs,people wont get sick.B. There are no germs in clean environment.C. Exposure to germs can improve our immune system.D. Germs like bacteria and viruses do harm to our health.DHalf off usually unaffordable products?Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner?Thats the magic of Groupon,but for some
27、small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death.How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance,but upon further inspection the numbers dont add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a pr
28、oduct or service; then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance,the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50,which,in some cases,is being generous.When you
29、break it down to numbers,a Groupon deal seems disastrous,but its not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers.Yet,does this actually happen?The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the
30、bargain and dont return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated,“I love the deals offered by Groupon!They can really save you so much money.”However,she went on to say that she hadnt returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses,the press
31、ure lies with the responses of their loyal customers,who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years.When you break it down,Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price,but als
32、o that their product or service isnt worth the price theyre charging for.When combining these factors,its no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupons have bad effects on all businesses;however the storm of Groupon is actua
33、lly a disaster for a small business.12. What is good about Groupon?A. It can offer a large discount.B. It helps add up the numbers.C. It can improve the quality of the product.D. It brings small business owners more profit.13. CFHS Junior Angelita Popes statement suggests that .A. small business own

What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. New faces. B. Loyal customers. C. Groupon dealers. D. Small business

52、in shorts.”The British upper are always keen to hold on to tradition,and this also _49_(silent) marks them out from “the rest”.However,as for William and Kate,the _50_(decide) to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue.V.短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)I still remember the
