I have always believed that reading books can expand the mind, touch the heart, and enrich the soul.

They can also cause your imagination to do some funny things at times. I can remember several years

ago reading a book where the hero went through several tragedies and at one point in the midst of his

pain and torment cried out:

“

Where is Love?

”

. At that moment in my imagination I leapt into the story,

grabbed him by the arm and told him:

“

It

’

s everywhere! It

’

s everywhere!

”

Love is everywhere. You just

have to open your heart to see it.

For me it is there every time I watch the dawn break upon a new day. It is there every time a brisk

winter breeze blows across my face. It is there in the first flower of Spring. It is there in the green grass of

Summer. It is there in the last leaf of Fall. It is there every time my handicapped(

残疾的

) sons give me a

hug. It is there every time my daughter laughs at one of my dumb jokes. It is there in the adoring eyes of

my old beagle and my new puppy. It is there in the purring cat that naps on my chest. It is there in the

smile of the clerk behind the counter. It is there in the old man who opens a door for me. It is there when

I read a letter from a friend. It is there every time I pray. It is there in everything I write and every act of

kindness I do.

The Bible tells us that

“

God is Love.

”

And since God is without beginning or end, then so is love. It

fills all of His creation. It fills us as well every time we open our hearts and souls to it. Don

’

t shut out love

then. Don

’

t live your life in pain. Open your heart instead. Share your love instead. You will find that the

more love you give away, the more love you will have. You will find that

the more love you share, the

more God

’

s love will surround you. You will find that when you live your life in love, you will find love

everywhere.

21. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A. Love Is Everywhere

B. God Creates Love

C. Love Enriches Life

D. Love Is Giving

22. The second paragraph mainly tells us that love lies in ________.

A. nature

B. every detail of our life

C. our family

’

s companion

D. our attitude to life

23. The attitude the author holds to life is _________.

A. negative

Smith called in some architects in Palm some years ago and asked them what it would take to design

a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student

learning.

“

I think half of them fell off their chairs,

”

Smith says.

Smith manages school

facilities

for his county, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By

2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Smith needs

73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary

school

prototypes

（样品）

; they plan to construct their schools starting in 2012. The district will then

assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new

buildings.

Green schools are appearing all over, but in Smith

’

s county, which stands out for its vastness, such

aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go

against the realities of a desert climate.

“

One of the biggest challenges is getting the right

site

orientation

（朝向）

,

”

Mark, a director at SH Architecture, says. His company recently completed a

high school in Palm.

“

You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect

and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.

”

Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green- design competitions has

doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings.

“

I don

’

t believe in the new green religion,

”

Smith says.

“

Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I

’

m interested in those that work.

”

But

he wouldn

’

t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy

systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power.

“

You never know

what

’

s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,

”

he says.

28. How did the architects react to Smith

’

s design requirements?

A. They lost balance in excitement

B. They expressed little interest

C. They showed strong disbelief

D. They burst into cheers

29. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?

A. Design--- Prototype

—

Assessment--- Construction

B. Assessment---Prototype---Design--- Construction

C. Assessment---Design--- Prototype

—

Construction

D. Design---Assessment---Prototype---Construction

30. ______ makes it different to build green schools in Smith

’

s country.

A. The large size

B. Limited facilities

C. Poor natural resources

D. The desert climate

31. What does Smith think of the ideas of green schools?

A. Out of date

B. Questionable

C. Advanced

D. Practical

When it comes to the influence the digital age has on this generation of American teenagers, there has

been a good one and a not-so-good one, teachers say. More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey.

Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a

“

mostly positive

”

effect on their students

’

research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies

distract students than to help them academically.

”

And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are

creating an

“

easily distracted generation with short attention spans.

”

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is a vice

director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research

tools are helping students learn more and faster.

“

Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways

to make some of learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help

them become creative of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers.

”

But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of

the information they find on the Internet. Judy says these students haven

’

t developed the skills to

determine the quality of online information.

”

It

’

s something that really has to be taught and paid attention

to. Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the

information you have.

”

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to

quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their

students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do

not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done

by others, instead of using their own abilities.

32. The next mainly tells us ________.

A. all the students use digital tools

B. the Internet is playing a key role

C. teachers encourage using digital tools

D. digital tools bring about benefits and problems

33. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means_______.

A. students do not have the right digital tools

B. students do not always have access to the Internet

C. students haven

’

t the ability to adjust themselves

D. students can

’

t judge online information properly

34. Some students don

’

t tend to work hard because ________.

A. they can get answers on the Internet quickly

B. printed books and libraries around aren

’

t enough

C. the Internet can

’

t make students concentrate

D. they can copy each others

’

work without being punished
