Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, betterknown as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of theOld West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With hisfirst wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 tohomestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhapshe was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, afew years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known asCalifornia Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leadingcitizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said. As itturned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville's fortune andwealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store,which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco.『It was his customto “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food andsupplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he wouldget a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number ofyears, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value. Finally one dayin the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”.Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money thatway. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them.“Oh help yourself. One more time won't make any difference,” He said and wenton selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies,in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings.They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After ninedays they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the othertwo men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the“Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1 300 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment. LaterTabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside thetown for $117 000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than thePittsburgh, yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadvillegrew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of thestate.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。Leadvillegot its name for the following reasons EXCEPT .A. because Tabor became itsleading citizenB. because great deposits of lead is expected to be foundthereC. because it could bring good fortune to Tabor2.

It should beremembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation,long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solidshort-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date theoccasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that havebeen completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-termgoals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at atime, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. Asyou complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow andsucceed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desirewill increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. Theymight cover five years or more.

It describes the need for people to continue their educationand training throughout their lives. Lifelong learning is more and moreimportant for everyone because people are now facing different career choicesin changing economies. It is believed lifelong learning is a crucial responseto the challenges of the global knowledge economy.Currently, most universitieshave reacted to the era of lifelong learning by adding new programs and servicesfor adults who seek to combine employment with part-time study. Specialarrangements have been developed for these students but the core activity ofthe university, providing teaching to full-time young undergraduates, oftengoes on much as before.Lifelong learning is both formal and non-formal; and theboundaries between face-to-face teaching and distance education areincreasingly blurred.By making learning possible anytime and anywhere, distanceeducation is a powerful tool for supporting lifelong learning. Technology-basedteaching is creating new educational systems that anyone from anywhere canaccess. The key challenge for universities is to evolve from a teacher-centeredmodel of education to student-centered model. The challenge for governments isthat they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessmentprocedures. 1.The term “lifelong learning” describes the need for people tocontinue their education and training in a certain period of their lives.A.TB.F2.The challenges of the global knowledge economy bring the needs forlifelong learning.A.TB.F3.Lifelong learning is non-formal.

But doctors now saybabies can do that on their first day of life. A baby will smile if his or hermother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care bysmiling to please her mother or other care givers. This is when babies learn toconnect and “talk” with other people. Babies really talk with caregivers bylearning some language skills in the first three years when the place is richwith sounds and sights. Scientists say children should hear the speech andlanguage of other people again and again. The first signs of communicationhappen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying willbring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize thegeneral sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, ababy usually begins to make sounds. By the end of their first year, mostchildren are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understandthe meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children are able to makesimple sentences. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child canunderstand quickly increase. It is at these ages that children begin to understandthe rules of language.1.When do babies begin to learn according todoctors?A.Right after they are born.

Tabor and his second wife, ElizabethMcCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of thelegends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher inVermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagonin 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking,or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. Atany rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining campknown as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became itsleading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.Asit turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville's fortuneand wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a generalstore, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was hiscustom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them withfood and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which hewould get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a numberof years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one dayin the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”.Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money thatway. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them.“Oh help yourself. One more time won't make any difference,” he said and wenton selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth ofsupplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in theirfindings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig.After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares ofthe other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known asthe “Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1，300，000 for Tabor in return for his $17investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillsidejust outside the town for $117，000. This turned out to be even more fabulousthan the Pittsburgh, yielding $35，000 worth of silver per day at one time.Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenantgovernor of the state. 1.Leadville got its name for the following reasonsEXCEPT.A.because Tabor became its leading citizenB.because great deposits oflead is expected to be found thereC.because it could bring good fortune toTabor2.The word “grubstake” in paragraph 2 means.A.to supply miners with foodand suppliesB.to open a general storeC.to supply miners with food and suppliesand in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered3.Tabor made hisfirst fortune.A.by supplying two prospective miners and getting in return aone-third interest in the findingsB.because he was persuaded by the two minersto quit supplyingC.by buying the shares of the other4.The underlying reason forTabor's life career is.A.purely accidentalB.based on the analysis of miner'sbeing very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable miningsiteC.through the help from his second wife5.If this passage is the first partof an article, who might be introduced in the following part?A.Tabor'slife.B.Tabor's second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.C.Other colorful characters.答案:C# V# A# B# B145.- The red dress fits me very much, doesn’tit?-________________.A.

Speakers of English as a second language will soonoutnumber those who speak it as a first language. Around 750 million people arebelieved to speak English as a foreign language. English has an official or aspecial status in 75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion.Thedomination of the English language globally is a sure thing. English is thelanguage of international communications, business, tourism, education,science, computer technology, media and the Internet. British colonialism inthe 19th century and American capitalism and technological progress in the 20thcentury were undoubtedly the main causes for the spread of English throughoutthe world. From the fifteenth century, the British began to sail all over theworld and became explorers, colonists and imperialists. They took the Englishlanguage to many places. For the last hundred years, the USA has played aleading role in most parts of the world. The Hollywood film industry alsoattracted many foreign artists in quest of fame and fortune and the number ofAmerican films produced every year soon flooded the market.However, the futureof English as a global language will depend very largely on the political,economic, demographic and cultural trends in the world. 1.English is spoken asa second language by around 377 million people in the world.A.T B.F2.Speakersof English as a second language are more than those who speak it as a firstlanguage.A.T B.F3.It is not surprising that 70% of all information stored inthe internet is in English.A.

But a big idea in highereducation these days is Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. Someuniversities offer free, non-credit MOOCs available to anyone in the world.Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology started its first MOOC in 2012. Theschool plans to offer many free, non-credit courses through a project calledMITx. Many Chinese universities are beginning to offer free MOOCs now too.Nowadays, MOOCs almost cover every topic, like computer science, technology,mechanics, engineering, languages, etc. Generally speaking, there are no formaleducation requirements for these free online courses. Students watch shortvideos. Then, they take informal, ungraded quizzes after the videos each weekfor certain weeks. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to keep studentsengaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that theyunderstood what was covered. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take thequizzes whenever they want. Students receive homework. They can join onlinegroups to exchange questions and answers about the courses. The teachers holdvirtual office hours to answer questions that the students have posted. Theyalso present their own questions and observations.Some supporters claimed thatthere are things that we can do better in the online format.

Several years ago,people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as anadvantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age tohelp provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost ofliving getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longerconsidered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that they haveonly one child and some do not have any desire to become parents atall.According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, womenaged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to twochildren than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%).However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or morechildren than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, womenwere more likely to have had two children than three or more children – a trendthat was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs.22% in 2006). These days, most families in Australia have two children. But thenumber of women who had given birth to a single child increased progressivelyfrom only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.The U.S. Census Bureau states that thereare approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20%of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。Several years ago, people thought that having big families wasA. uncommon and this was seen as anadvantageB. common and this was seen as a disadvantageC. common and this wasseen as an advantage2.

A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collectleaves and cut grass.“We're trying to help people not spend time on yard work,”said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy theirfree time with their family.”The electric robot can run by itself in rightdirections with the help of two beacons (信号塔) that must be placed in the yard.The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers saidwould stop quickly when it finds pets and people.Owners of the robot will needto regulate the values stored in the robot.
