A smart board is an interactive whiteboard. It can be connected to one or more laptops, PCs, tablets, or
other electronic devices. Smart boards are extremely useful in a classroom because they can engage students,
provide interactive opportunities that a traditional whiteboard, blackboard or flip chart can't, and can also
develop students' computer skills along with their English skills.

Smart boards also have touch-screen technology so you do not actually need a computer to access the basic
functionality. You can write on a smart board with special pens which are usually provided with the board, and
anything written on the board can be saved for future reference, or printed out. It is great, for example, if you
are doing a brainstorming session or a mind map with your classmates and you want to keep a record of it.

If you don't want to draw with the pens, you can use a keyboard and type onto a programme such as Word,
and have it appear on the screen for everyone to see. This is great if you are doing an exercise with your class
and you want everyone to be able to see the answers during the checking stage. You can also run PowerPoint
presentations on an interactive whiteboard. These can sometimes be great for grammar or vocabulary
presentations and the advantage of them is that students can make contributions.

If you have the Internet access, you can access websites and put them onto a white board. This is great in an
English classroom if you have online quizzes or games you want to use. Students can actually come up to the
board and select their answers. This involves them directly in the board work, which they usually love. You can
also run video clips or sound files from the Internet, or some which are saved on your computer.

In short, a smart board can make the lessons more varied, and can give students a more active role in the
lesson.

28. A smart board is more useful than a traditional board because .
A. it can be connected to more electronic devices

B. it can be used instead of a whiteboard, blackboard or flip chart
C. it provides more interactive opportunities

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or
government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed
outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education
system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large
number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American
education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the
American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools.
That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American
education system is an investment in your future.

Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a

thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the
American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It
is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more international
students than any other country in the world!

35. What is the writer's advice?

A. International students should not invest their future education in the US.

B. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school.

C. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the right
academic choices

D. International students should have a thorough understanding of how the American education system
works before going there to study.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word that best fits each
of the numbered blanks.

When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not (36)______
understand. Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you (37)_____. The strategy you
adopt depends very much upon the degree of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal. If you are the
sort of person who tends to (38) ______ the dictionary frequently, it is worth remembering that every dictionary
has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the
meaning of a word only after meeting it in a diversity of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special
(39) ____ of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a
dictionary, it is usually far safer to (40)______ an English-English dictionary.
