Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.
The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.
To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.
There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.
One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個(gè)人的) projects without being bothered (打擾). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.
Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!
小題1:What is the idea behind the special school?
A．The children are creative.
B．All the students need to be taught.
C．All the students must be successful.
D．All the students must have high grades.
小題2:From the passage we can infer (推斷) that        in the special schools.

小題4:Paragraph 5 mainly tells us that       .              
A．the school doesn’t have grades

小題2:C 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到The idea behind the special school is that children are creative.這個(gè)學(xué)校為那些有創(chuàng)造力的學(xué)習(xí)準(zhǔn)備的，所以推斷出C項(xiàng)。
小題3:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段提到The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (個(gè)人的) projects without being bothered (打擾)這個(gè)地方是一個(gè)安靜的地方，在這，學(xué)生能集中注意力到個(gè)人的項(xiàng)目上而且不被打擾，所以選A項(xiàng)。
小題4:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中提到主要介紹五個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)域，沒(méi)有提到分?jǐn)?shù)，也沒(méi)有提到聰明的學(xué)生，而D項(xiàng)沒(méi)有教室不是這段的內(nèi)容，所以選C項(xiàng)。

According to a new survey . Students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (搶劫) on the way to and from school. Now in some big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No 25 Middle School gives young students advice on how to deal with danger:
If you are robbed
Keep calm. lf you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
If you are in a traffic accident.
If a car hits you. You should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don't know how badly you are hurt
If it is raining hard and there is lighting. (閃電)
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
When there is a fire.
Run away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.
If someone is drowning(溺水)
If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.

There are seven continents﹙洲﹚in the world. Among them, Antarctica﹙南極洲﹚is the most special one. It is a world of snow and ice all year round. China has sent many scientists there. They try to find resources﹙資源﹚under the icy land and study climate change and sea biology.
What do they eat?
Scientists don’t have many choices on what they eat. About 60% their food is frozen food. It is easy to heat﹙加熱﹚。Meat is common on the menu, while vegetables are not usual. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, people often eat dried and canned vegetables.
How do they sleep?
In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this time, Antarctica faces the sun and gets sunlight 24 hours of the day. In order to get some sleep,scientists cover the window with black cloth to make “night”.
How do they work?
People can wear warm clothes to be against the cold weather, but they can do little with the strong wind. Sometimes, the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away.
So there are ropes﹙繩索﹚that connect some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep balance in strong winds.
How do they keep in touch with others?
There are no cables or Internet on the frozen continent. So mobiles and computers don’t work there. Scientists usually use two-way radios to communicate at work. If they want to say hello to family and friends, they can use the satellite phones.
小題1:What do scientists do in Antarctica?
A．They mostly study on the animals and plants there.
B．They mostly find resources and study climate change and sea biology.
C．They mostly find different kinds of lives under the ice and study them.

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
小題1:We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A．we think about our eyes
B．we cannot see clearly
C．we wear glasses
D．we have to do much reading
小題2:According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A．tailorB．doctorC．guardD．painter
小題3:People who are farsighted ________ .
A．cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B．can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C．have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D．have the same problem as the nearsighted people
小題4:To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A．with wide open eyes
B．with half shut or narrowed eyes
C．straight at it
D．in a slightly different direction
