If someone asks me: “Do you like music?” I’m sure I will answer him or her: “Of course, I do,” because I think music is an important part of our lives.
Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music because it’s so exciting. And my favourite rock band, the “foxy Ladies”(酷妹) is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate Li Lan loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Jane, likes jazz music. She thinks jazz is really cool.
“I like dance music and rock very much,” says my brother, “because they are amazing.”
But my mother thinks rock is boring. “I like some relaxing music,” she says. That’s why she likes country music, I think.

在英语考试结束之后,做好试卷分析是很有必要的。下面读文网小编为大家带来小学五年级英语试卷分析,希望对你有所帮助。
(一)、注重了基础知识的考查。
试卷中能充分体现考查学生基础知识为主要目标的命题原则,坚持依据于课本,但又避免教材中机械的知识,对于一些学生必须掌握的基础知识作为重点考查的内容。(二)、渗透了能力考查的要求。
英语作为语言,是一种交际的工具。小学英语教学根据小学生的年龄特点和语言学习的规律,确立以听、说、读、写能力的培养为主要目标。小学英语教学不仅要教给学生一些最基本的语言知识,而且要教给学生运用语言的方法和能力。本次测试在试卷的问题设计上,不仅突出了对学生听、写能力的考察,而且增加了对学生活用语言能力的考查
(三)、英语教学与学生的生活实际相联系
小学英语的教学内容贴近学生生活,本次测试试题内容同样体现了贴近学生生活的原则,侧重用已学过的英语知识解决实际问题,既源于课本,又高于课本,充分体现了素质教育的内涵,特别是笔试部分的六题中设计的在毛毛虫身上完成乘法题,重视了对学生运用所学
知识分析、解决实际问题的能力,对学生能力进行了全面考查,对教师的教学及学生的后续学习都有一定的导向作用。

英语四级考试正在紧张备考当中,为了帮助同学们复习备考。下面读文网小编为大家带来英语四级真题试卷附答案,欢迎各位同学备考练习。
第一篇
Could youreproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it?
It wouldn’t besurprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because youcouldn’t reproduce it in most of the US either. What does it take to make aSilicon Valley?
It’s the rightpeople. If you could get the right ten thousand people to move from SiliconValley to Buffalo, Buffalo would become Silicon Valley.
You only needtwo kinds of people to create a technology hub (中心):rich people and nerds (痴迷科研的人).
Observationbears this out. Within the US, towns have become startup hubs if and only ifthey have both rich people and nerds. Few startups happen in Miami, forexample, because although it’s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’s notthe kind of place nerds like.
WhereasPittsburg has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people. Thetop US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, andCarnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeley yielded SiliconValley. But what did Carnegie-Mellon yield in Pittsburgh? And whathappened in Ithaca, home of Cornell University, which is also high on the list.
I grew up inPittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I can answer for both. Theweather is terrible, particularly in winter, and there’s no interesting oldcity to make up for it, as there is in Boston. Rich people don’t want to livein Pittsburgh or Ithaca. So while there are plenty of hackers (电脑迷)who could start startups, there’s no one to invest in them.
Do you reallyneed the rich people? Wouldn’t it work to have the government invest the nerds?No, it would not. Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people. Theytend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business. Thishelps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice andconnections as well as money. And the fact that they have a personal stake inthe outcome makes them really pay attention.
56. What do welearn about Silicon Valley from the passage?
A) Its success is hard to copy any where else.
B) It is the biggest technology hub in the US.
C) Its fame in high technology is incomparable.
D) It leads the world in information technology.
57. What makesMiami unfit to produce a Silicon Valley?
A) Lack of incentive for investments.
B) Lack of the right kind of talents.
C) Lack of government support.
D) Lack of famous universities.
58. In that wayis Carnegie-Mellon different from Stanford, Berkeley and MIT?
A) Its location is not as attractive to rich people
B) Its science department are not nearly as good
C) It does not produce computer hackers and nerds
D) It does not pay much attention to business startups
59. What doesthe author imply about Boston?
A) It has pleasant weather all year round.
B) It produces wealth as well as high-tech
C) It is not likely to attract lots of investor and nerds.
D) It is an old city with many sites of historical interest.
60. What doesthe author say about startup investors?
A) They are especially wise in making investments.
B) They have good connections in the government.
C) They can do more than providing money.
D) They are enough to invest in nerds.
第二篇
It’s nice to have people of like mindaround. Agreeable people boost your confidence and allow you to relax and feelcomfortable. Unfortunately, that comfort can hinder the very learning that canexpand your company and your career.
It’s nice to have people agree, but youneed conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth. If everyone around you hassimilar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias. (偏颇)
Take a look at your own network. Do youcontacts share your point of view on most subjects? It yes, it’s time to shakethings up. As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in whichpeople will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes: Fromconfrontation comes brilliance.
It’s not easy for most people to activelyseek conflict. Many spend their lives trying to avoid arguments. There’s noneed to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do someself-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking. Youmay need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify yourblind spots.
Passionate, energetic debate does notrequire anger and hard feelings to be effective. But it does require moralstrength. Once you have worthing opponents, set some ground rules so everyoneunderstands responsibilities and boundaries. The objective of this debatinggame is not to win but to get to the truth that will allow you to move faster,and better.
Fierce debating can hurt feelings,particularly when strong personalities are involved. Make sure your check inwith your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battlesbeyond the battlefield. Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforcethe idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward acommon goal.
Reword all those involved in the debatesufficiently when the goals are reached. Let your sparring partners (拳击陪练) know how much you appreciate their contribution. The more theyfeel appreciated, the more they’ll be willing to get into the ring next time.
61.What happens when you have like-mindedpeople around you all the while?
A) It will help your companyexpand more rapidly.
B) It will be create a harmoniousworking atmosphere.
C) It may prevent your businessand career from advancing.
D) It may make you fell uncertainabout your own decision.
62.What does the author suggest leaders do?
A) Avoid arguments with businesspartners.
B) Encourage people to disagreeand argue.
C) Build a wide and strongbusiness network.
D) Seek advice from their worthycompetitors.
63.What is the purpose of holding a debate?
A) To find out the truth about anissue.
B) To build up people’s moralstrength.
C) To remove misunderstandings.
D) To look for worthy opponents.
64.What advice does the author give topeople engaged in a fierce debate?
A) They listen carefully to theiropponents’ views.
B) They slow due respect for eachother’s beliefs.
C) They present their viewsclearly and explicitly.
D) They take care not to hurt eachother’s feelings.
65.How should we treat our rivals after asuccessful debate?
A) Try to make peace with them.
B) Try to make up the differences.
C) Invite them to the ring nexttime.

职称英语考试正在紧张备考复习中,为了帮助大家备考复习,下面读文网小编为大家带来职称英语考试试卷附答案,供各位考生备考复习。
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
Human Space Exploration
While scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving aheadwith plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles (航天飞机) on space station missions by 2012 and respond quickly to space station emergencies.
The space agency released the first set of mission needs and requirements several days agofor orbital space plane ( 轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of fourto and from the International Space Station.
Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter (轨道航天飞机) will besafer, cheaper and require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transportfour crew members by 2012 —— though it would be available for rescue missions by 2010. NASAsays the craft should be able to transport injured or ill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.
The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term prioritiesof space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia and its sevenmember crew on February 1, 2003.
Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working foryears on a successor to the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议),was divided last year into two parts -- one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on aspace station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.
The program's managers say NASA officials have told them not to alter Space Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.
U.S. President George W. Bush asked Congress for about US $1 billion for Space LaunchInitiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane andNext Generation Launch Technology.
NASA plans to design the new space craft to_______.
A.control the International Space Station
B.carry astronauts to the International Space Station
C.transport equipment to the International Space Station
D.train astronauts in space flights
32、 Besides its main mission, the orbiter would also be used as_______.
A.a medical research center

Why Are America's Kids So Stressed
I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happieror unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any ofthese statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, Iwas struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious thanchildren in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit ahigher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physicalisolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among otherthings -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.
At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. Nochild is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individualsagainst stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs andcomputers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-facerelationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties andprovide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have toruin your life.
The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are_______.
A.surprising
B.confusing
C.illogical
D.questionable
37、 What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back"?
A.It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D.It's impossible to forget the past.
38、 According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago_______.
A.were less isolated physically
B.were probably less self-centered
C.probably suffered less from anxiety
D.were considered less individualistic
39、 The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is_______. A.to provide them with a safer environment B.to lower their, expectations for them C.to get them more involved socially D.to set a good model for them to follow 40、 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A.Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with. B.Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated. C.Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.
D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.
Clone Farm
Factory farming could soon enter a new era of mass production. Companies in the US aredeveloping the technology needed to "clone" chickens on a massive scale. Once a chicken withdesirable traits has been bred or genetically engineered tens of thousands of eggs, which willhatch into identical copies, could roll off the production lines every hour. Billions of clonescould be produced each year to supply chicken farms with birds that all grow at the same rate,have the same amount of meat and taste the same.
This, at least, is the vision of the US's National Institute of Science and Technology,which has given Origen, Therapeutics of Burlingame, California, and Embrex of North CarolinaUSD 4. 7 million to help fund research. The prospect has alarmed animal welfare groups, whofear it could increase the suffering of farm birds.
That's unlikely to put off the poultry industry, however, which wants disease-resistant birds that grow faster on less food. "Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reducedinputs to get there", says Mike Fitzgerald of Origen. To meet this demand, Origen aims to"create an animal that is effectively cloned", he says. Normal cloning doesn't work in birdsbecause eggs can't be removed and implanted. Instead, the company is trying to bulk-growembryonic stem cells taken from fertilized eggs as soon as they're laid. "The trick is to culturethe cells without them starting to distinguish, so they remain pluripotent", says Fitzgerald. Using a long-established technique, these donor ceils will then be injected into the embryoof a freshly laid, fertilized recipient egg, forming a chick that is a "chimera". Strictly speakinga chimera isn't a clone, because it contains cells from both donor and recipient. But Fitzgeraldsays it will be enough, say, 95 percent of a chicken's body develops from donor cells. "In thepoultry world, it doesn't matter if it's not 100 percent," he says.
Another challenge for Origen is to scale up production. To do this, it has teamed up with"Embrex, which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up to 50, 000 eggs an hour.Embrex is now trying to modify the machines to locate the embryo and inject the cells intoprecisely the right spot without killing it.
In future, Origen imagines freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken. If orderscome in for a particular strain, millions of eggs could be produced in months or even weeks. Atpresent, maintaining all the varieties the market might call for is too expensive for breeders, andit takes years to breed enough chickens to produce the billions of eggs that farmers need.
Which statement is the best description of the new era of factory farming according to the first paragraph?
A.Eggs are all genetically engineered.
B.Thousands of eggs are produced every hour,
C.Cloned chickens are bulk-produced with the same growth rate, weight and taste.
D.Identical eggs can be hatched on the production lines.
42、 Which institution has offered USD 4. 7 million to fund the research?
A.The US's National Institute of Science and Technology.
B.Origen Therapeutics of Burlingame, California.
C.Embrex of North Carolina.
D.Animal welfare groups.
43、 In the third paragraph, by saying " Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reduced inputs to get there" Mike Fitzgerald means that he wishes
A.chickens' quality could be maintained but with less investment
B.chickens' taste could be improved but at less costs
C.chickens' growth rate could be quickened but with less inputs
D.chickens could grow to the same weight but with less feed
44、 Which of the following statements about Origen and Embrex is correct according to the fifth paragraph?
A.Origen and Embrex will jointly invent machines to increase production.
B.Origen wants to purchase an efficient donor cell-injecting machine.
C.Origen has joined hands with Embrex in producing cell-injecting machines.
D.Origen is the leading company in producing embryo-locating machines.
45、 The technology of freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken can do all the following EXCEPT that
A.farmers can order certain strains of chicken only
B.Origen can supply all the strains of chicken the market might need
C.chicken farmers order certain strains of chicken for economic reasons
D.chicken farmers can be supplied with whatever they need

英语听力是英语学习中比较重要的一部分,也是过去被忽视的一部分。那么初中英语听力要怎么学习呢?下面读文网小编为大家带来初中英语听力学习方法技巧,希望对你有所帮助!
它讲究的是方法和效率。首先,我们要学会泛听和精听的结合。在我们听力练习的计划中要适当的安排泛听和精听,针对不同的题型我们也要采取不同的听的方式。例如,对于会考到细节题的短文,我们要精听;对于考主题的文章我们就泛听。当然,“策略”还包括许多学习的小窍门。比如我们在听短文时,心里要怀着“what, who, which, when, where, why, how”,也就是七个“W”来听,就能很快掌握大意。
最后还要强调一下发音。听力考试中总会有辨音题。总的来说,这个题型不难,但如果我们的发音不正确就会出错。千万别忽视发音问题,自己最好将一些容易混淆的音标对比进行练习,把相应的单词总结出来。初中英语中听力的学习非常重要
