    Schools across the country are turning green. So-called green schools are built from recycled and environmentally friendly materials. They are designed to use less energy than traditional school buildings. In the next few years, Southern California alone plans to open 150 green schools. Studies have shown that there are good reasons to go green, including good air quality that cuts down on asthma(哮喘)attacks and airborne germs that can cause illnesses. Students learn better in classrooms that have natural light and ideal temperatures. Green schools have lower energy bills. Go On, Get Green
         Here’s how to save energy and help the environment.
    Light Savers
         Turn off the lights in a room when it is not in use. This bright idea can produce big savings on energy costs. Some schools use sensors that automatically shut off the lights when there is no motion in a room.
    Heat Smart
         Your school’s thermostat(温度调节器)should be set to 78℃in warm weather and 68℃in cooler weather. The temperature can be even farther from the comfort zone at night and on weekends, when no one is using the school building.
     Reuse, Recycle
         Reuse paper, cans, bottles and batteries. Use both sides of notebook paper. Carry a lunch box rather than a paper bag. Recycle whatever you can reuse.
    Don’t Drip(滴水)
         Leaky taps can waste large amounts of water. A small, steady flow can add up to hundreds of gallons a year. Report drips if you see them.
    小题1:What is the best title for the passage?
         
    A．Green Schools.B．Reusing and Recycling.C．Light Savers.D．No Dripping.
    小题2:Some schools are called green schools because ______.
        
    A．they are built from new materialsB．they are painted green
    		C．there are more trees in these schoolsD．they are built from recycled materials

    It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
    It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT(信息技术) bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒体） bloggers.
    When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
    The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
    However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
    1. From the passage we know that________.
    A.56% of the Chinese write blogs
    B. people in US like to read blogs for news
    C. the Chinese share feelings with each other mainly through blogs
    D. the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West
    2. ________wrote more blogs at the very beginning and now have more readers than others.
    A.IT bloggers    B. Media bloggers    C. Normal bloggers   D. US bloggers

    B. Only bloggers express their feelings through the Internet.
    C. All people in the world are listening to the bloggers’ voice.
    D. Media bloggers have more readers because of their popularity.

    第三部分阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。                 
    Scientists in Canada say big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial fishing in the 1950s. The scientists found the populations of large fish like tuna(金枪鱼), swordfish and cod（鳕鱼） have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years.
    The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.
    The scientists say the common method called long line fishing is especially damaging to populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be nearly one hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish.
    Long line fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. But long line fishing boats now might only catch one fish per hundred hooks.
    The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years.
    Ransom Myers and Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with the University of Kiel in Germany. Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete reorganization of ocean life systems. Meyers says the decreased numbers of large fish are not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors. He says not only are there fewer big fish, but also they are smaller than those of the past.
    American government scientists say even with the best efforts to protect fish populations, decreases are to be expected.
    56. Which one can be the best title for the passage?
    A. Discoveries Canadian scientists have made      B. Japan fishing industry
    C. Losses of big fish                          D. Modern fishing methods
    57. When did the researchers begin to survey the decrease of large fish?
    A. in the 1960s      B. in the 1970s       C. in the 1980s              D. in the 1990s
    58. The underlined word “sharp” in Para 3 means _________.
    A. having a fine edge or point that can cut or make a hole in something
    B. sudden or rapid change in something
    C. quick to react or to understand things
    D. loud, sudden and often high in tone
    59. Which of the following statements can show the fact that the populations of large fish have dropped?
    A. Today’s “large” fish are smaller than those of the past.
    B. Long line fishing boats now might catch ten fish for every one hundred hooks.
    C. Fish able to reproduce don’t have the chance to live longer.
    D. Long line fishing boats now might catch one fish for every one hundred hooks
    60. Where is the passage probably taken from?
    A. A story book      B. A business magazine         C. An environmental report      D. An economic survey

    Every baby born a decade from now will have its genetic code (基因编码) mapped at birth, the head of the worlds’ leading genome sequencing (基因图谱) company has predicted.
    A complete DNA read – out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.
    This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.
    A baby’s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.
    Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side – effects.
    The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records.
    “Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone – and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.
    “People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.
    As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.
    64．In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about__________.
    A．the significant progress in medicine      
    B．the promise of a leading company
    C．the information of babies’ genes    
    D．the research of medical scientists
    65．Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?
    A．The delaying in discovering DNA.
    B．The risk of developing diseases at birth.
    C．The side – effects of medicine on patients.
    D．The letting out of personal genetic information.
    66．What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean?
    A．Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.
    B．Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.
    C．People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.
    D．people can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.
    67．What’s Dr Flatley’s attitude towards the technology?
    A．Tolerant.   B．Conservative.   C．Positive.   D．Doubtful.

    .
    Americans are thinking about national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.
    The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to the individual states.
    Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.
    Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left Behind Act.
    Kara Schlosser is communications director for the Council of Chief State School Officers. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.
    Forty-eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states reject the idea. Critics(批评家) say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee(保证) excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the proposal will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal interference or control.
    Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify(合格) for some federal grant money.
    60．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Local Control of Education Standards out of Date
    B．American National Education Standards under Consideration
    C．Education Standards in Each State – Good or Bad
    D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States
    61．Why is local control of education no longer a good idea today?
    A．Because local standards are limited.
    B．Because it is required by the federal government.
    C．Because people today moves among states more often than before.
    D．Because America has never has the same school standards thought the country.
    62．Some people are against the national education standards because__________.
    A．the standards are higher than those of each state
    B．the are nor yet prepared for the new standards
    C．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence
    D．they don’t want the federal government to train their teachers
    63．If a state agrees to accept the motional standards, it will probably get__________.
    A．more students             B．advice on how to improve teaching
    C．better textbooks             D．money from the federal government

    Teachers have long said that success is its own reward. But these days, some students are finding that good grades can bring them cash and luxury gifts.
    In at least a dozen states this school year, students who bring home top marks can expect more than just thankfulness.
    The most ambitious experiment began in September, when seven states—Arkansas, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington—won spots in an Mobil?funded program that, in most cases, pays students $100 for each passing grade on advanced placement(AP) college?prep exams.
    It’s an effort to get low?income and minority students interested in the courses, says Tommie Sue Anthony, president of the Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science. “We still have students who are not sure of the value, who are not willing to take the courses.” she says, “Probably the motivation will make a difference with those students.”
    Gregg Fleisher of the National Math and Science Initiative, which runs the seven?state program, says the effort is modeled on a program adopted by Dallas in the 1995-1996 school year that saw AP course?taking jump obviously. That program is now statewide.
    While many educators would be against offering kids cash for good grades, Fleisher and others say the idea is simple. “It’s an encouragement to get them to basically make the right decision and choose a more strict class.” he says, “This teaches them that if they work at something very hard and have a lot of support, they can do something they didn’t think they could do.”
    An analysis of the Texas program last month by Cornell economist C.Kirabo Jackson found that it linked to a 30% rise in the number of students with high SAT and ACT scores and an 8% rise in college?going students.
    (Notes:1.SAT:美国学术能力评估考试; 2.ACT:美国大学入学考试。)
    51.What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A.Success is its own reward.           B.Success makes a difference.
    C.Good grades deserves gratitude.      D.A new motivation for students.
    52.What’s the purpose of the experiment?
    A.To get relatively poor students interested in their studies.
    B.To help poor students to keep on with education.
    C.To offer poor students luxury gifts on their birthdays.
    D.To make an effort to raise the value of money.
    53.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A.Students who top at college?prep exams get $100.
    B.The program was probably first adopted by Dallas.
    C.The program has been going on half a dozen states this year.
    D.The program didn’t have any effect on student’s achievements.
    54.What is the writer’s attitude toward offering kids cash for good grades?
    A.Favorable.     B.Worried.        C.Opposed.          D.Confident.
    55.According to the passage, the program_______.
    A.makes everything possible            B.encourages students to study harder
    C.helps students choose right classes     D.teaches students to spend money
