24、   Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: a plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof , and they later may fall on you , or you may get cancer!

The important thing is not to let fear rule you , but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is OK.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case , fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you , and you have to try to overcome it.

【1】Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if ________.

A.they were given no warning beforehand B.they didn't have any sense of pain at all

C.they had never burnt themselves D.they felt afraid of the fire

【2】A really fearless soldier ________.

A.is of a little use to his army B.is not afraid of battles at all

C.is nothing but a dead soldier D.is easy to get killed in a battle

【3】People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because ________.

A.they are warned of the danger and take quick action

B.they are quick both in mind and in action

C.they are calm in face of danger

D.they have gained much experience

【4】It is implied but not stated that ________.

A.fear is always something helpful

B.too much fear is harmful

C.fear should be used as a servant and guide

D.fear is something strange and particular

25、

Today some people call Amsterdam the "City of Bicycles" because it is a city which is flat and convenient for bicycles.

26、   Today's teens have grown up online. They socialize online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet，they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.

Now William Colglazier，a history teacher at a high school in America，is teaching his students how to think critically about online information and recognize a "fake(假的）news" story. His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack（缺少）ability to reason about the information on the Internet. Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story，and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in“．org"

The good news is that，according to Colglazier，once teens realize they've been duped，they have strong will to tell truth from lies.“But they need some pointers on how to find dependable and persuasive evidence(证据）and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation，”he said. Some of the pointers that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer's motivations(动机），looking past the first page of results in a google search and looking at the second or third page，and going beyond the "About Us" page on a website to find out more about the organization behind the news story.

Colglazier has tips for parents as well. He says it's a good idea for parents to be "friends" with their kids on social media(媒体）to see what stories they are sharing. He also suggests parents watch their teens as they search for something online and ask questions like “Why did you click on that?" and “Do you trust this information?" Those questions can lead kids to form habits of thinking critically about online information.

Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue，a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. “The Internet is both beautiful and ugly"， he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news，the resultscan be frightening.”

【1】When teens read a news story online，they

A.seldom raise doubts about it

B.always share it with their parents

C.usually pay attention to the website

D.often consider it as an advertisement

【2】The word "duped" in Paragraph 3 probably means “ “

A.criticized B.cheated C.challenged D.misunderstood

【3】Colglazier suggests students should

A.make more friends by using social media

B.find background information about a news story

C.mainly look at the first page of results in a search

D.ask parents some questions about online information

【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To explain why teens feel comfortable with the Internet.

B.To encourage teens to search for information online.

C.To guide teens to reason about the news online.

D.To introduce Colglazier's course to more teens.

27、   More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools（工具） as iPads are used in a lot of courses（学科）, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a conversation only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same conversation again and again to understand it.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn, such as listening to stories and watching movies. The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can concentrate on the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored（分类） in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are bad for students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate（分隔） students from each other.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
