A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new school-issued ipads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts. Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called " one-to-one " programs.At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $ 500 ipads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren' t yet available. Larkin said of textbooks, n but they* re pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered11.But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure （设施）,repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informaticsd言息、学） professor said, ' I think people will like it.I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said, "We' re always using technology at home, then when you' re at school if s textbooks. So it's a good way to put all of that together. n Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students1 use.And the nation's textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum specifically for ipads. Jay Dickey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers* schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay. nI think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally. n 1、The first paragraph is mainly aboutA. a program to promote ipads marketing in new school yearB a program to spread electronic learning in new school yearC. a plan of how to use ipads in the coming school educationD. a plan of how to oppose IT technique in the coming school teaching2、What's the problem for ipads to be used in schools at present?A. Some students wouldn't like to have ipads in schools.B , The ipads are too expensive for school students to buy.C. Most experts oppose the idea that ipads replace paper textbooks.D. The ipads may be unavailable for some traditional courses.3、The underlined sentence in the passage implies thatA. traditional textbooks are behind the times before they are printedB. traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before deliveredC. contents of traditional textbooks can't be renewed in time as electronic ones doD. the ipads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks4、From the passage we can draw conclusion thatA. more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic onesB , textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their ownC. it is impossible for the ipads to be widely used in schools in the futureD. electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school yearText 2World Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve them so they do not go the way of the mammoth （猛3马象）.World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand's Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.Currently, the demand for ivory （象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world's elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animals' well-being.The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent （巨大的） mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificentmammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training” elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to get a bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life.1、What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?A , To collect donations for elephants.B.

Catching and raising elephants in the cages.C. Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations.D. Attracting elephants to live together with human beings.Text 3I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled （贝占标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that T even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.

She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma*s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. "In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad - but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot fbr someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, "of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma*s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma's abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, "There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma." Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!1、What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.B.
