16、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AShould online learning be encouraged?Editors note: As many parents have tried to give their children a head start, online education services, with their relatively cheap prices, are mushrooming across the world. What do you think? Should this mode of teaching be encouraged?Ted M (UK)On
17、line education is not new. It has been found effective in many countries where access to schools is difficult. It lacks the opportunity for social learning of course, but in most systems there are weekend, summer and winter camps where students can arrange to meet and interact with others as part of
18、 the courses. Such education is valuable for remote learning in inaccessible regions.Linda (China)I find that children today spend less and less time playing outdoors than we did when we were young. We have the technology to enable us to teach students to learn with an amazing variety of resources b
19、ut I do hope not at the expense of losing their childhood.Breathing (Canada)I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. Its about communicating with others, discussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is spread all over the w
20、orld. It has some good results too. But I like face-to-face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.Jimmy (US)It really depends on what kind of learner you are. If you are a self-motivated student and can manage your own time, onli
21、ne learning is for you. So long as you have the ability to learn on your own.Sunny (Australia)Online schools offer students with customized learning and help them gain access to courses that may not be provided in their assigned school. This is one of the primary reasons for the increased demand in
22、online learning. Online learning is providing new options for kids and more choices for parents.26. Which of the following is Lindas opinion on online learning?A. It limits the time children spend playing outdoors.B. It is valuable for learning in remote regions.C. It lacks the opportunity for socia

24、nline learning.D. To present different opinions on online learning. BA plane made a dangerous trip to the South Pole to rescue a sick worker from a U.S. research base.The U.S. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is home to a crew of 48 scientists. A rescue plane flew there on June 21 to rescue a sick
25、worker. Battling subzero temperatures, total darkness, and other dangerous flying conditions, a plane left the South Pole on Wednesday after rescuing a sick worker from a U.S. research base. After the patient and flight crew rest, the plane will make its way to South America, where the patient will
26、receive medical care.The daring rescue mission began last week when two planes flew from Canada to Rothera, a British base on the Antarctic Peninsula. On Tuesday, just one of the planes left Rothera on a nine-to-ten-hour trip to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where the sick worker was locate
27、d.The station is usually unreachable during Antarcticas long, harsh winter, from February to October. Forty-eight people live at the base, including a doctor and a physicians assistant. But when the crew there determined the worker needed medical help that couldnt be provided on site, the emergency
28、rescue mission began.The Twin Otter is the only type of plane capable of flying in Antarcticas subzero winter temperatures. A small crew, including a pilot, copilot, medical worker, and flight engineer, made the 1,500-mile trip from Rothera in a Twin Otter plane. It is the only type of plane capable
29、 of flying in Antarcticas winter cold. It can operate in temperatures as low as -103 Fahrenheit. The temperature in the South Pole on Tuesday was -73F. In such conditions, an aircrafts fuel and even its batteries need to be warmed up before it can take off.The pitch-black sky and the threat of high
30、winds and sudden weather changes make such flights extremely risky and rare. The air and Antarctica are unforgiving environments, Tim Stockings told the Associated Press. He is the operations director at the British Antarctic Survey, in London. “Things can change very quickly down there.This rescue
31、is only the third time an emergency mission has been made to the research base since 1999. The National Science Foundation, which runs the station, has not said who was rescued, or the medical condition of the person. The names of the crewmembers who made the daring flight have not been made public
32、either. But according to Peter West, a National Science Foundation spokesman, the mission “went all according to plan.”29. Why did the plane fly to the South Pole to rescue the worker?A. The worker was trapped in an emergency mission.B. Necessary medical care couldnt be provided there.C. The worker
33、was sick for home at the research base. D. The reason for the flight rescue was not made public.30. During the rescue, the plane had to battle the dangerous flying conditions EXCEPT for _.A. the threat of high winds B. the total darknessC. subzero temperatures D. the lack of fuel31. What is the Twin
34、 Otter?A. A small crew. B. A Type of plane.C. A British Antarctic Survey. D. A National Science Foundation.32.What is the best title of the passage?A. A Well-planned TripB. The Importance of TeamworkC. A Daring RescueD. The Advantage of High-tech CStanding desks. Love em or hate em, there are plenty
35、 of articles to back up whatever opinion you have. On the one hand, studies have shown that standing desks could help reduce your risk of obesity (肥胖)and diabetes (糖尿病). On the other, experts have said standing desks dont help with weight loss and could give you back problems. Now, another study has
36、 come out, this one in favor of standing desks. Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Science Center found that standing desks helped employees get more done during the day. Though the results might not translate for all types of work environments, they should give standing desk supporters a reason to
37、 be pleased. Published last week in the journal IIE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors, the study followed 167 employees in a call center over six months. Seventy-four of them used standing desks, and researchers found that they were 46 percent more productive than those who s
38、at at their desks. The participants employer, a health services company thats not named in the paper, sponsored the study to better understand the returns on the standing desks it had bought for the office. Productivity was determined by the number of successful calls to clients that the health and
39、clinical advisors made per hour. The company earned money for each successful call, during which an advisor checked in on a clients progress in an exercise program, for example, or checked to see that a client was taking proper medication. Employees typically made between 400 and 500 calls a month,
40、and the company wanted them to average around two successful calls each hour. Those who had standing desks met that quota, while those who remained seated averaged 1.5 successful calls per hour, Gregory Garrett, a public health doctoral student and lead author on the study, told The Huffington Post.
41、 If an advisor was unable to reach a client over the phone, that was counted as an unsuccessful call. Interestingly, the people who stood actually made more phone calls than the ones who sat, Garrett said. The results almost seem too good to be true after all, who wouldnt want a nearly 50 percent bo
42、ost in productivity just from using a standing desk? “How do you prove this desk makes me feel happier, and I feel better? Thats not going to pay the bills,” Garrett said. But, he continued, the study shows that standing desks can in fact “affect a companys performance. Thats really significant.”33.
43、 According to the passage, standing desks could result in _.A.obesityB. back problemsC. diabetesD. medication problems34. What does that quota in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.400 and 500 calls a month.B.2 successful calls each hour.C.1.5 successful calls every hour.D.The average number of calls per day.35
44、. It can be concluded from the passage that standing desks _.A. are worthy of much further researchB. can be used in all work environmentsC.can help create a boost in productivityD. are more comfortable than normal desks36. What is the writers attitude towards standing desks?A. Objective.B. Subjecti

Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA.A UK research team recently investigated the genetic role in mosquito attraction by testing the bite appeal of 18 identical (looking the same) and 19 fr
63、aternal (looking different) pairs of female twins.

After testing all 37 twin pairs, scientists found that the identical twins had consistently more similar attraction scores than the fraternal ones didspecifically, 67 per cent of a persons insect appeal had to do with her genes.So whats the deal: does DNA smell bad?

But specific DNA does attract unique species of microbacteria to your bodyand those are what mosquitoes just cant resist.Each of us, right now, is covered with about 100 trillion microbes, outnumbering our human DNA ten to one.
