It's three thirty in the afternoon at Raynham Primary School in London. Students are ready for their after-school math lesson. Thousands of kilometers away, their math tutors are also arriving for class. Each pupil gets an online tutor. The students work on their computer and wear a earphone to talk to their tutor.

Their classroom teacher, Altus, says he has seen an improvement in results. Nine-year-old Samia says she enjoys the online lessons. She says, "It helps me because sometimes when we're doing it in class, I don't hear the teacher very much and I don't understand, but online tutoring is better." Tom Hooper started the company. It offers the online tutoring. The company is called Bright Spark Education.

Children today feel very confident online, so they enjoy their learning. Online tutoring costs between twenty and twenty-five dollars an hour. An online tutor is about half the cost of traditional face-to-face coaching.

Bright Spark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition (附加物) to the regular teaching. The company says its service doesn't threaten(威胁) the teachers' jobs in Britain.

Some parents say they are pleased with the results. But some students still hate math. Even with the latest technology to teach it, math is still not everyone's favorite subject.

26. Why does Samia like to learn online?

A．Because the tutor is only for her.	B．Because it's interesting and cool.
C．Because she can understand the tutor better.	D．Because she likes playing on the computer.

27. How much do you have to pay for learning for two hours online at least?

A．40 dollars.

C．20 dollars.

D．25 dollars.

28. The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

29. What can we learn from the text?

A．Tom Hooper started the company and had a lot of money.

B．All students like math in London.

C．Tutors online are better than the classroom teachers.

30. What's the main idea of the text?

Born in 1983 in Sierra Vista, Arizona, the USA, Jessica had no arms and all the doctors didn't know why. There were many questions at that time about whether Jessica would be able to live a normal life. However, her father had full confidence in his daughter.

With the help of her family, Jessica started to explore the world with her feet. As a child, she started learning to dance. When the first performance arrived, she asked to be put in the back row. Her dance teacher told her there was no back row. Feeling anxious and worried, she began her performance with other students. When she finished, the applause(掌声) from the audience gave her encouragement and the confidence to continue dancing for 14 years.

Jessica's parents eventually met a Taekwondo (跆拳道) coach named Jim Cunningham who was very willing to teach her. As a result, she had been Jim's student for years. At the age of 14, Jessica won her first Black Belt in the International Taekwondo competition.

After graduating from high school, Jessica attended the University of Arizona where she got a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in Psychology.

Jessica's most famous skill was learning how to fly. It took her nearly a whole year to find the right airplane. Later she received the Guinness World Record for being the first person to fly an airplane with only feet.

Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your cell phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can't get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm might cause. It may not sound as serious as other natural disasters, such as earthquakes. But today, a solar storm often puts our society in danger.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares (耀斑): large explosions near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems (系统) that operate our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day last month. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

"Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half the country, maybe more," SolarStormWarning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Experts say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

A．a travel booklet

B．a science book

B．Some developed countries, like the USA, can reduce the solar storm.

C．Solar flare activity is becoming less and less.

D．A solar storm may cause lots of trouble for human beings.

40. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

The Art of Paper

Chen Zijiang is a paper-cutting expert whom I interviewed for my article on Chinese Art. Paper-cutting is something that he learned to do from an early age.

"It is a Chinese folk art with a long history," Mr. Chen told me, "Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs(坟墓).     46    " He added that by the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting had become an important part of everyday life.

    47    They are paper cuts for decoration, for religious purposes(宗教目的) and for design patterns.

Paper cuts for decoration are often seen on windows and gates.    48    They are also used on presents. A present for parents whose child has recently been born might show a paper cut of children, for example. Paper cuts which show the Chinese character for double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings.

Paper cuts for religious purposes are often found in temples.    49    

The third kind of paper cuts are those used to make patterns on clothing. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes.    50    

A．They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck.

B．They are also used as offerings to the dead.

C．Dragons are very popular patterns for these designs.

D．They can date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty.
