25. The word “sanitizer” is something to ______________.

Instead of banning kids’ phones, some schools are starting to embrace them.  While more than 80% of U.S. students starting by eight – grade own cell phones, more that half of schools prohibit the use of any mobile devices.   And  yet  a few pioneering administrators are considering a new  approach called BYOT – Bring Your Own Technology. BYOT offers a solution to an old problem.  Instead of outlawing kids’ devices, BYOT policies allow kids to take their phones or tablets to class and use them not just to post stupid photos from Friday night but also to engage with one another in classroom lessons.  A small but growing number of schools are giving it a try.  Some districts have developed BYOT policies that allow kids not only to take their mobile devices to school but also to access school networks.  However, the students are allowed to use the device under a strict rule.  Kids can use devices only with a teacher’s permission; activating a screen during tests can be reasons for getting expelled.

The concern is that schools could run into problems with the supervision of Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which President Bill Clinton signed in 2000.  The law says schools can lose federal funding if they don’t adequately monitor the online activities of minors.  If a student tweets something that is gross and damaging from a locker room, cops could arrive.  BYOT also raises equality issues. It’s true that most kids have cell phones, but they aren’t necessarily carrying smart phones that are capable of running elaborate apps.  Some families can’t afford a cell phone of any type.  School districts can lend devices to students who have less money.

BYOT offers a solution to an old problem.  Instead of outlawing kids’ devices, BYOT policies allow kids to take their phones or tablets to class and use them not just to post stupid photos from Friday night but also to engage with one another in classroom lessons.  A small but growing number of schools are giving it a try.  Some districts have developed BYOT policies that allow kids not only to take their mobile devices to school but also to access school networks.  However, the students are allowed to use the device under a strict rule.  Kids can use devices only with a teacher’s permission; activating a screen during tests can be reasons for getting expelled.

The concern is that schools could run into problems with the supervision of Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which President Bill Clinton signed in 2000.  The law says schools can lose federal funding if they don’t adequately monitor the online activities of minors.  If a student tweets something that is gross and damaging from a locker room, cops could arrive.  BYOT also raises equality issues. It’s true that most kids have cell phones, but they aren’t necessarily carrying smart phones that are capable of running elaborate apps.  Some families can’t afford a cell phone of any type.  School districts can lend devices to students who have less money.

34. What is the most appropriate title of the passage?

Despite being surrounded by water, Australia is the driest continent on the globe.  More than 66 percent of the state of New South Wales (NSW), which has Sydney as its capital, has been declared drought – stricken. It’s not just Sydney that is suffering.  The Murray Darling River—once a seemingly  bottomless  source of water for the nation’s cotton, livestock and rice industries—is now running so critically low, the Australian Government has spent tens of millions of dollars to save the now – fragile river system.

In the last five years, nearly all cities and many rural towns in Australia have implemented strict water restrictions.  In some country towns.  Car washing is banned and you can’t refill a swimming pool without a permit.  At one stage, residents in the capital, Canberra, were forbidden  from watering the lawn or washing windows.  In Sydney, sprinklers are now all but illegal.

Water authorities coupled the tough new measures (which include ways for the public to turn in water – wasters) with softer approaches such as big subsidies for installing water efficient shower – heads and cash – back rebates on water – efficient washing machines and rainwater tanks.

The plan is to secure Sydney’s water supply by 2015 by combining demand management with a desalination plant and water recycle schemes.  In a drought– stricken Australia ,  reducing the water demand is not enough—state government are also looking to desalination to shore up dwindling supplies.

Perth’s desalination plant – the largest outside the Middle East – uses reverse osmosis to extract salt from seawater.  Melbourne,  Brisbane and Adelaide all have similar plants built, under construction or on the drawing board.

39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all.  They cost him a great deal of hard work.  We know how often he rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries.  He always found it hard to satisfy himself.

When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him.  He began to notice a strange humming in his ears.  At first he paid little attention ; but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors.  They gave him the worst news any musician can hear ; he was gradually going deaf.  Beethoven was in despair ; he was sure that he was going to die.

He went away to the country, to a place called Helligenstadt, and from there he wrote a farewell letter to his brothers.  In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him.  “It was impossible  for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am deaf,”  he wrote “How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense  which should have been more perfect in me than in others… I must live like an exile.”  He longed to die, and said to death, “Come when you will, I shall meet you bravely.”

In fact,  Beethoven did something  braver than dying.  He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly.  He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf.  The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before.  Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life.  He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his symphonies the “Eroica” or heroic symphony, “to celebrate the memory of a great man”.  Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous Fifth Symphony, he said, “Thus fate knocks on the door.”
