A. adapt B. natives C. identities D. cost-saving E. alert F. instead G. established H. practically I. route J. enrolled K. significant Officials at Boston College have made what may be a critical decision: they’ve stopped giving out new email accounts to incoming students. The officials realized that the students had already established digital__41_ _ by the time they entered college, so the new email address were just not being used, but, 42 , the college will offer forwarding(转发) services.

Starting next year, freshman 43 at Boston College won’t be given an actual email account complete with login and inbox, just an email address. This address, in the format of johnsmith@bc.edu will simply forward mail to the students already_ 44 inbox, be it Gmail, Windows Live Mail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, or whatever else they may be using.

The college reached a smart decision after first looking into outsourcing（外包）their email to the cloud. While the Boston College decision may have been made for 45 reasons more than anything, we can easily imagine this as being the start of a new trend.

Can you even imagine a U.S. college students who didn’t have an email address of their own by the time they were a freshmen? It’s 46 unheard of Today’s students are digital 47 immersed(浸润) in technology form the day they were born. It simply doesn’t make sense to give them yet another account to manage when they enter college.

By going this 48 , there are still some challenges to overcome, though. For example, a student who changes their email carrier will probably forget to 49 the institution to the change and could then miss out on 50 messages from the university with regard to their courses, scholarship, safety information, ect. In the end, we think the decision Boston College made could easily be the start of a new trend. We’re sure students like it, too.

debate over net neutrality. That is the idea that all content on the Web should be treated equally. Internet service providers want to be able to charge more for heavy Internet traffic or users who want 42 services. The Federal Communications Commission regulates telephone, cable and satellite communications. But its power to regulate Internet service has been questioned in the courts. The new proposal calls for rules barring service providers from preventing users from sending and receiving 43 information of any kind. Users also could not be prevented from 44 any application, service or device they choose to the Web. And broadband Internet providers would be 45 from discriminating against（歧视） content and would have to be open about their policies. Supporters of net neutrality criticized the proposal for not 46 wireless providers. Wireless broadband is among the fastest growing parts of the Internet. Others oppose the 47 of a \"two-tiered\"（两极分化的） system on the Internet in which some content gets a fast lane and other content goes slowly. But Daniel Brenner says such a system already exists. Daniel Brenner is a partner at the law firm Hogan Lovells in Washington. He says service providers want to be able to charge more because they build networks out to their customers across the country. Such companies are the so-called \"last mile\" providers. But, the Internet is really a network of networks which exchange traffic all the time and compete with each other. And not all networks reach the last mile to a customer's door. Paul Kouroupas of Global Crossing says his company wants to make sure 48 between service providers are honored on all networks. That way, a service promised by Global Crossing on its fiber optic network will be 49 all the way to a customer's door — even if another company carries the service that last mile. The Verizon-Google proposal offers 50 for a debate that is not likely to end soon. Daniel Brenner says the FCC needs clearer guidelines from Congress. And that's the VOA Special English Economics Report, written by Mario Ritter. I'm Steve Ember. 【答案】41.H 42.F 43.K 44.G 45.D 46.A 47.B 48.I 49.C 50.E Three【浦东新区】 Section B

This anxiety can 41 itself in physical symptoms like nausea or sweaty palms, or in emotional symptoms like panic and irritability. Often, individuals will become nervous long before the exam date because they feel 42 by the amount of material they must master. The first step in 43 this anxiety is realizing that test anxiety is a natural reaction, and that it can be 44 . In order to regain control over anxiety, one should break the exam 45 into smaller sections. It will seem much easier to master a series of small subjects than to handle a huge subject all at once.

Test-takers should make a study schedule weeks or months ahead of the exam, and give themselves a small amount to learn each period. When the exam day 46 arrives, anxiety will be reduced by the feeling of preparedness. Apart from that, anxiety can be lessened in a few easy ways. First, avoid having any excessively stimulating foods, such as those 47 caffeine or sugar, on the day of the exam.

This direct exposure to the people's views did not 41 produce accurate knowledge of public opinions. It did, however, give political leaders ___42 in their public support. Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas 43 each other seven times in the summer and autumn of 1858, two years before they became presidential nominees (总统候选人). Their debates took place before 44 in cornfields and courthouse squares. A century later most presidential debates, although seen by millions, take place before a few reporters and the technicians in television studios. The public's response cannot be 45 firsthand. This distance between leaders and followers is one of the difficult problems of modern democracy. The media provide information to millions of people, but they are not yet so 46 at providing leaders with feedback from the public. Is government by acclamation (欢呼、欢迎) possible when the scale of communication is so large and impersonal? To make up for the 47 in their ability to experience public opinions for themselves, leaders have turned to science, in particular the science of opinion polling (调查). It is no secret that politicians and public officials make 48 use of public-opinion polls to help them decide whether to run for office, what policies to support, how to vote on important issues and types of 49 to make in their campaigns. President Lydon Johnson was famous for carrying the latest Gallup and Roper poll results in his pocket, and it is widely believed that he began to 50 from politics because the polls reported losses in public support. All recent presidents and other major political figures have worked closely with polls.

The Amish are best known for their simple way of life. They are easily recognized by their 42 Clothing. The men wear wide-brimmed black hats, collarless black coats, and black trousers. These homemade clothes are fastened with 44 and eyes instead of with buttons or zippers. Those who are strict 44 of Amish customs do not wear neckties or belts.

Often called the Plain People, the Amish live in simple homes without mirrors, pictures, curtains and carpets. Somehow they manage to get along without radios, telephones, and electric lights. They do not own cars, 49 to travel by horse. The Amish are excellent farmers, yet they refused to buy tractors or other modern farm machinery. They work the land with horse-drawn plows.

Because the Amish are largely self-sufficient and fairly 50 from other communities, they have resisted social change.

In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming 43 , confident learners. Finally, students become more 44 as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English.

Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who 45 on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems 46 , and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students 47 to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the 48 judge of their progress.

Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental 49 with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to 50 new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.
