26、Lockers(储物柜)have been the symbol of American high school for decades. But walk down any hallway of the new Germantown High School in Madison County, Mississippi, and you won’t spot a single locker.

New technology such as e-books, interactive(互动的)assignments and Web-based learning is making lockers in

American high school a thing of the past.

Officials from schools that have listed several benefits: less noise, less delay and an increased sense of safety.

“It’s all to create an environment that’s student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief official of the Madison County School District.

Getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. Madison County saved $200,000 by not including lockers in the new high school, McGehee said.

It is also believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. ”Lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said Mike Nelson, founder of a safety- training group. Nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.

However, Andrew Booth, a 10th-grader at Gemantown High, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “It can make your book bag really heavy”, he said. The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)” to carry to school each day.

He said some teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students don’t have to carry books from home.

New York architect Peter Lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give students a “sense of space” “If you are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms,” he said.

Lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opportunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a school with just rows of lockers-there’s nowhere for learning opportunities in that”, he said.

【1】What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The trend of getting rid of lockers in US high schools.

B. The influence of new technology on some US high schools.

C. The history and development of lockers in US high schools.

D. The advantages and disadvantages of lockers in US high schools.

【2】What is not the advantage of getting rid of lockers?

A. Saving money.

B. Making less noise.

C. Preventing school violence.

D. Making book bags heavy.

【3】What is Andrew Booth’s attitude to removing lockers?

A. Complaining

B. Approving.

C. Ignorant.

D. Favorable.

【4】What does Lippman suggest schools that have removed lockers should do?

A. Give students as much freedom as possible in the classroom.

B. Provide students with an extra set of textbooks in the classroom.

C. Make more learning opportunities for students in the new free space.

D. Put shelves at the back of the classroom for students to leave their bags.

27、You never played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight!

 Like many other teenage boys, Jones loves sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight in trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer.

 Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks’ playing the game, he has lost another 10!

 A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study.

 The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals.

 In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.

 Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination (协调能力), and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games.

 The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such to dance away your extra weight?

【1】The underlined part is trying to tell us _____.

A. the study involves many insurance companies

B. the study is only an insurance company’s business

C. the study is less important than the insurance company’s money

D. it’s not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study

【2】It can be inferred that _____.

A. the government thinks highly of the dance game

B. in West Virginia, more than 25 % of the adults were too fat

C. a teacher is a failure in using the video game in her classes

D. the US Education Department isn’t interested in the game

【3】The most suitable title of the passage is _____.

A. Dance Away Your Weight 

B. Play the Video Dance Game

C. Solve the Problem of Obesity

D. Cut the Cost of Obesity Claims

28、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

We’ve all heard about the power of positive thinking, but a recent study found that people who think they’re getting fit actually get more positive benefits from activity, according to a Reuters Health article.

  The study examined hotel housekeepers over a period of four weeks. Some of the housekeepers were told that their work duties gave them enough activity to meet the Surgeon General’s health guidelines (准则). Another group of housekeepers were told nothing. After four weeks, the housekeepers who believed their work activity counted as exercise lost weight and body fat, and their blood pressure went down.

The results of this study suggest that it’s important to understand and believe in the positive benefits of your activity. So here are a few things to think about the next time you exercise:

  Just thirty minutes of quick walking each day can greatly reduce your risk of a heart attack. Even your housework ― like yard work and house cleaning ― can help you burn calories and increase your fitness levels.

  Weight bearing activity just a few times a week can build bone density (密度) and reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis (骨质疏松).

  Three 10-minute workouts（锻炼） throughout the day are just as good to your health as one long workout.

  Moderate (适度的) amounts of exercise have been linked to lower rates of heart disease, stroke and even cancer.

Strength training can help make daily activities like carrying bags or laundry feel easier.

Regular exercise will reduce stress, keep you in a good mood and improve the quality of your sleep.

【1】The main purpose of this passage is to _____.

A. encourage people to think they will get fit in different activities

B. tell people how to finish the work duties better

C. tell people how to lose weight

D. advise people to do more housework

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A.  thought is more important than activity

B. housekeepers lead a happier life than workers

C. positive thinking does good to our health

D. if one wants to get fit, think more

【3】The housekeepers who were told their work would keep them fit _____.

A. found it hard to finish their work on time  

B.  lost weight and enjoyed better health

C.  had little sense of humor  

D. gained weight after the work

【4】Which of the following is NOT the suggested things to think about when you exercise?

A. Housework helps burn calories.

B. Regular exercise leads to better sleep.

C. Weight bearing activity does good to people.

D. Walking a dog reduces the chance of a heart disease.

29、Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures .The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today ,however ,perform quite a different role .Unlike most art museums ,the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public .These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.

 People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something ,while the second tells you the success of a sale.

 One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits .Unlike the average art museum visitors ,design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled .This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do ,and how design has improved the quality of our lives .Art museum exhibits ,on the other hand ,would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding.

 In recent years ,several new design museums have opened their door ,Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas .London’s Design Museum ,for example ,shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins .The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums ,and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.

【1】Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they.

A．show more technologically advanced products

B．help increase the sales of products

C．show why the products have sold well

D．attract more people than store windows do

【2】The author believes that most design museum visitors .

A．do not admire mass-produced products

B．are puzzled with technological exhibits

C．dislike exhibits in art museums

D．know the exhibits very well

【3】The choices open to design museums .

A．are not as strict as those to art museums

B．are not aimed to interest the public

C．may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors

D．often contain precious exhibits
