    In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.?
    The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.?
    Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.?
    Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.?
    After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.?
    1. In America, the driver’s course mentioned above___________.
    A. is considered as part of the advanced education?
    B. is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license?
    C. is carried on at the same time as other courses?
    D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
    2. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car______________.?
    A. has a sign inside it                                B. has two sets of brakes?
    C. is big enough to hold five persons           D. can’t run very fast
    3. We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.
    A. go out driving for twelve times                     B. spend at least six hours driving?
    C. drive for two hour blocks of time           D. get half an hour driving
    4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver’s license? ?
    A. They must be 16 years of age
    B. They should go to have their driver’s test
    C. They must have their eyes examined
    D. They ought to do well in their driver’s course
    5 In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means______________.?
    A. happily                                                B. successfully           
    C. colorfully                                                D. quickly

    阅读理解下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，指出能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的最佳答案。
    Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about heavens (天堂). But the six planets that he could see with his eyes alone limited man.
    The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.
    Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man did not know much about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered was seen until 1930.
    Before the spectroscopes (分光镜), man didn’t know what kind of gas was in the sun or other stars, without radio telescopes (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noise came from far in space.
    Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the past fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.
    1Thousands of years ago, man watched ____ with his eyes.
    A. the moon       B. the stars         C. the universe    D. all the planets
    2 When the Greeks watched the stars, they could ____ .
    A. know what the stars were made of     B. not see their places in the sky
    C. help themselves study the heavens     D. watch the stars move as the seasons changed
    3Until there were ____ , man knew very little about the moon.
    A. telescopes      B. spectroscopes C. radio telescopes   D. spaceships
    3People didn’t know about Pluto until ____ .
    A. the 1700s      B. 2,000 years ago   C. 1930             D. thousands of years ago
    5____ people began to do research on astronomy.
    A. 50 years ago  B. 90 years ago  C. In the early 1700s      D. Over 2,000 years ago

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    We find that bright children are seldom held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按能力分班) pupils. It does not consider the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have had effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be the bottom of the top grade.
    Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We care much about the development of all the pupils’ abilities to the full, not just their study ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching does good to these aspects of learning.
    In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the chance to learn to work together, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze(分析) an devaluate(评价) and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
    Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual(个人) tasks, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this well. An advanced pupil can do advanced work and it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to achieve this goal.
    56. By “held back” in the first paragraph, the writer means “________”.
    A. made to remain in the same class            B. forced to study in the lower class
    C. drawn away form their studies         D. prevented from advancing
    57. The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
    A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class
    B. advise pair work and group work for classroom activity
    C. offer advice on the proper use of the library
    D. tell us the importance of proper formal classroom teaching
    58. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Pair work.      B. Group work.    C. Mixed-ability teaching    D. Individual tasks.

    Animation(动画) means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.
    Since earliest times, people have always been surprised by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector.
    In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.
    A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.
    Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933.
    But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector.
    64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. People were unable to cause the movement to last or record it in the last century.
    B. Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.
    C. It is impossible to make cartoon characters do what they are designed to do.
    D. In ancient times people were surprised by movement.
    65. According to the passage, Felix the Cat________.
    A. was created by the American cartoonist Felix
    B. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century
    C. was unable to do what natural cats could not do
    D. was created in the United States in the nineteenth century
    66. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A. Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier that Pat Sullivan’s
    B. only professionals can create cartoon characters
    C. Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists
    D. the cartoon industry started in the United States
    67. Which of the following statements best describes the author’s attitude towards cartoon making?
    A. Cartoon making is an easy job. Anyone can do it.
    B. Only trained people can be employed in cartoon making industry.   
    C. Anyone can make cartoons under the instructions of professionals.
    D. Cartoon making is no easy job. You have to spend much time drawing onto the empty film.

    A teenager says he convinced the White House that he was Iceland’ s president and managed to schedule a call with George W.Bush , but was found out before he got to talk to the US president.
    “My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush’s secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening ,” Vifill Atlaso, 16, told Reuters.
    Several Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later---the day of the planned call---and took him in for questioning.
    “They told me the CIA had called the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and asked if the police could try and find out where I received that phone number from,” said Atlason.
    The teenager said he was unable to recall where he had discovered the telephone number of the White House.
    “I know I’v had it on my phone card for at least four years now and that an Icelandic friend gave it to me, but I don’t remember who,”he said.
    At a White House news conference on Monday, Bush’s spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line “that anybody can call”, according to a transcript(记录).
    Jon Buartmarz, Chief Superintendent at Iceland’s national police headquarters, said Icelandic police had not spoken to their US counterparts about the matter. He declinced(拒绝) to say how police were tipped off (通告) about Atlason’s call.
    “As far as we’re concerned, there will not be any further investigation, and I don’t know if the American government is taking any action because of this,”he said.
    1.According to the passage, when did Atlason call the White House ?
    A.On Friday      B. On Saturday     C. On Sunday    D. On Monday
    2.What does the underlined “it ”refer to ?

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
    For most Chinese university students, the US is a favorite destination for further education. But apart from obstacles such as the GRE and TOEFL exams, choosing a good graduate school is no easy task.
    Admission is very competitive for international students, so it is important to apply for a number of institutions to have a reasonable chance of acceptance.
    Since the application to most universities requires a certain fee, Chinese students usually choose seven to 17 universities according to their own financial circumstances.
    Wang Yuwei, a Zhejiang University graduate, sent applications to 15 US universities.
    When the 24-year-old girl began looking for a US graduate school in her senior year, she took time to compare the various schools and find the ones most suiting her needs. Now, studying at the University of Washington, she knows that her hard work paid off.
    “To broaden your chances, at least one third of the applications should be to less selective schools,” said Wang. “Applicants shouldn’t limit their choices to the most famous institutions.”
    Furthermore, one shouldn’t rely on too much on college rankings such as the Gorman Report or US News & World Report’s annual league tables.
    The right school is the one that best meets your own personal needs and interests, rather than someone else’s assessment of an institution’s prestige（声望）.
    “Usually choices are based on one’s personal interests and academic background, but it is important to make sure that your chosen subject is satisfying,” said Wang.  
    1. The author believes that the right school is the one that _____.
    A. has the best location
    B. offers good living conditions
    C. best meets one’s assessment of an institution’s prestige
    D. best meets one’s own personal needs and interests
    2. According to this passage, what can we judge?
    A. To go abroad for further education, you must pass the GRE or TOTEL.
    B. Choosing a good graduate school is a piece of cake.
    C. More and more students will go abroad for their further education.
    D. To get a better chance to go abroad, you’d better apply for a less selective school.
    3. In the passage the writer uses the example of Wang Yuwei to show ______.
    A. you must spend a lot of time comparing the various schools
    B. it is necessary to find the suitable university that meets your personal interests
    C. it isn’t worthwhile to spend time looking for the right university
    D. one’s own financial circumstances is worth considering
    4. What will be continued after this passage?
    A. How hard Chinese students studied in America.
    B. Some advice on how to take care of yourself in America.
    C. Some other things to consider to choose the right school.
    D. The difficulties you will meet with while living in America

    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
    小题3:All of the following are advantages of a green school EXCEPT __________.
    A．the air quality of the school is great
    		B．the temperature is comfortable
    		C．the school has lower energy bills than a traditional school
