    My Experience in a Free School
    At first I couldn't believe it! There were no __26  in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to __27  . Although we all lived “in”, __28  made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
    The __29 thing was that practically all the students went to class, __30  very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or _31 class.

I don't __36 one student who didn't try his best.
    The subjects were the same as those in __37school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)!

In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms small ones __42 ,but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a __43 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, __44  the angles(角度) and so on. I didn't take __45 .I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's __46!
    __47 I think I am a __48  person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think  better. That's probably a real big __49   between the free school and regular school—the amount of __50.

    Few people would question the value of taking part in sports for young people．With proper training，supervision，protective equipment and techniques，and an proper emphasis on winning，sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interest in being active and fit .Without such measures，childhood sports can lead to injuries and even paralysis or death．
    Even in the best conditions，no activity can be risk—free．But most serious hazards are preventable．Cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets；hockey players by wearing masks；basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards；baseball players by wearing batting helmets．
    Besides，risks to individual players can often be found，and thus prevented，through a properly performed medical exam before a child plays．For accidents that may not be preventable，having an emergency plan and first-aid equipment，and someone trained to use the equipment，can be lifesaving．
    Still，each year，according to the American College of Sports Medicine，more than 775,000 children under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries，nearly half of them preventable．An estimated 300,000 athletes experience exercise—related head illnesses each year，and almost all of them should have been avoided．
    Further，from half to three—fourths of sports-related concussions（脑震荡） are never even diagnosed；the injured are often sent back in to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain—damaging concussion．To help reduce these risks, the National Center for Sports Safety, with the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, offers a three-hour online safety course for coaches for $28 at www.SportsSafety.org.
    1．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．All the accidents can be prevented．
    B．All the accidents cannot be prevented．
    C．Lives can be saved so long as there is proper equipment．
    D．Lives cannot be saved even if there is proper equipment．
    2．What does the underlined word “hazards”(in paragraph 2)mean?
    A．mistakes          B．diseases           C．dangers            D．situations
    3．It is implied in the passage that        ．
    A．prevention of injuries is not paid enough attention to
    B．children under 14 are more easily hurt in sports
    C．most head illnesses are related with exercise
    D．none of the head illnesses should have happened
    4．What can coaches mainly learn from the online safety course?
    A．How to cure brain-damaging concussion．
    B．How to diagnose brain-damaging concussion．
    C．How to predict the possibility of brain damage．
    D．How to deal with the injured properly．

    At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents（文件）because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
    It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.
    Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers
    Does all this mean environmental concerns （环境问题） have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling （回收利用）,”said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
    72.   The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ___________.
    A.    the rapid development of small businesses    B. the opening up of new markets
    C.    the printing of high quality copies               D. the increased use of the Internet
    73.   Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ______.
    A.    to encourage printing more quality documents
    B.    to develop new printers using recycled paper
    C.    to find new materials for making paper
    D.    to plant more fast-growing trees
    74.   Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ___________.
    A.    people are concerned about the environment
    B.    printers in many offices are working overtime
    C.    small companies need more hard copies
    D.    they see a growing market for printers
    75.   What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Computers and Printers                                B. E-mail and the Business World
    C. Internet Revolution and Environment                D. Modern Technology and New Markets

    When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor——a position equal to university president in America.
    Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel(人员) tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
    The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularlly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
    Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators (管理人员), and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
    In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
    Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective(视角) on established practices.
    小题1:What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?
    A．Institution worldwide are hiring administrators from the US.
    B．A lot of activists are being hired as administrators
    C．American universities are enrolling more international students.
    D．University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.
    小题2: What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?
    A．The political correctness.B．Their ability to raise funds.
    C．Their fame in academic circles.D．Their administrative experience.
    小题3: What do we learn about European universities from the passage?
    A．The tuitions(学费) they charge h ave been rising considerably.
    B．Their operation is under strict government control.
    C．They are strengthening their position by globalization.
    D．Most of their money comes from the government.
    小题4:In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?
    A．They can improve the university’s image.
    B．They will bring with them more international personnel.
    C．They will view a lot of things from a new angle.
    D．They can set up new academic subjects.

    本文介绍了美国著名的生物学家Edward Wilson 的著作The Future of Life中的一些有关如何开发、利用和保护自然资源的情况。
    Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources(资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.
    Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Van the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?
    Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.
    At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.
    小题1: We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______
    A．the environment for plants
    B．the biodiversity of our earth
    C．the wastes of natural resources
    D．the importance of human values
    小题2:How many species are most important to our present food supply?
    A．Twenty.B．Eighty.C．One hundredD．Ten thousand.
    小题3:Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______.
    A．learn how to farm scientifically
    B．build homes for some dying species
    C．make it clear what to eat
    D．use more species for food
    小题4: We can infer that the text is _______
    A．a description of natural resources
    B．a research report
    C．a book review
    D．an introduction to a scientist.

    The earth's biosphere (the surface layer of the planet and the surrounding atmosphere) provides the land, air, water, and energy necessary to sustain life. This life-support system is a complex, interdependent one in which energy from the sun is changed into food for humans. The entire system depends on the sun, reasonably moderate temperature, and enough supplies of oxygen, pure water, and fertile soil.
    Since the earth's creation millions of years ago, the ecosystem has worked as an interdependent system relatively undisturbed by outside forces. But recently, especially since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have begun to disturb the balance of nature. Natural resources have been severely depleted (消耗) (forests have been destroyed, fertile land worn away, water polluted, and minerals used up), and the life-support system of air, water, and land has been poisoned by a variety of waste products and chemicals.
    The degree of these problems was noted in a report by the U.N. Developing Council on Environmental Quality. This report predicted that if present trends continue, the world will be more crowded and polluted and less stable ecologically and politically than the world we live in now.
    The twin problems of resource shortages and pollution are caused by three social forces.  First, the tremendous increase in population growth constantly increases the demand for food, energy, and other products. As the current population continues to increase, the stress on an already overburdened environment will be increased．A second source of the problem is the concentration of people in urban areas, where the ecosystem simply cannot absorb their waste products. Finally, environmental problems are worsened as more and more nations move toward modem development: an increased reliance on modern technology. As these nations become more technological, they will consume more energy, deplete more natural resources, and create more waste products than the biosphere can absorb.
    小题1:The life-support system is composed of _____.
    A．air, water and landB．the earth, the sun and energy
    C．food, land and energyD．food, energy and the sun
    小题2:The life-support system _____.
    A．change energy from the sun into food for humans
    B．depends on the sun for enough supplies of air, water and land
    C．exists in the surface layer of the earth and the surrounding atmosphere
    D．is a complex but independent system
    小题3:The life-support system has been badly damaged by _____.
    A．natural forcesB．human activitiesC．social movements D．political changes
    小题4:The passage mainly talks about _____.
    A．the effects of Industrial Revolution on human beings
    B．the importance of life-support system to human beings
    C．the significance of balance of nature
    D．the destruction of life-support system and its causes
