    8．Holidays are really important．Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways．
    But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable．Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet．
    For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare．When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year．Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday．For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．
    The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment．The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day．Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support．Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils．During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed．
    While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live．The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning．
    In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council （委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two-week break．We believe this will give real"down time"for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．
    We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities．However，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．
    36．The passage is probably written byD．
    A．an experienced teacher
    B．a working parent
    C．an inspired student
    D．a city council member
    37．The underlined word"they"in the second paragraph refers to"B'．
    A．environments
    B．holidays
    C．wages
    D．benefits
    38．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help studentsC．
    A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
    B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school
    C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
    D．have more school days to receive free school meals
    39．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
    A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
    B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
    C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real"down time"
    D．some school staff will say"No"to the plans for a shorter summer holiday．

    9．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict（有瘾的人），"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me，so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled（有褶皱的）．"Today David wears casual clothes （便装） to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I am working harder than ever．"David says，"and I need to feel comfortable．"
    More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States，the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday．This became known as"casual Friday"．"What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．"said business consultant Maisly Jones．
    Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？"One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．""A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work，"says Owen Black，the owner of a software company，"so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的） dress code．"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Company，85percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）．Only 4percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．"Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，"one person said．"For the same amount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"
    31．David thinks he was"a clothes addict"becauseB．
    A．he disliked cheap clothes
    B．he always kept his suit neat
    C．he often cleaned his office

    32．Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now？A
    A．He feels at ease．
    B．He looks handsome．
    C．He went to a new company．
    D．He can't afford expensive suits．
    33．What can we learn from the text？C
    A．Casual clothes can impress others．
    B．People fought for"Casual Friday"．
    C．"Casual Friday"used to be popular．
    D．"Casual Friday"was given as a prize．
    34．What is the advantage of casual office wear？D
    A．Making workers more easygoing．
    B．Making workers more attractive．
    C．Improving workers ability．
    D．Saving workers'money．
    35．Which does Owen Black probably agree to？C
    A．Comfortable clothes are cheap．
    B．Nobody like conservative clothes．

    20．Special trees that grow faster，fight pollution，produce better wood，and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US．
    When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US 14 million-a-year papaya （木瓜）industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago，work began on creating genetically engineered （转基因的） trees．
    Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus．Since then，more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees．
    Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood．Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil．
    Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms，and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper．
    The Pentagon （五角大楼） even gave the researchers US 500，000this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack．
    So far，the poplar，eucalyptus （杨树与桉树），apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered．All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes （基因组）．
    However，some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results．They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment
    "It could be destructive，"said Jim Diamond，an environmentalist．"Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species．"
    But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
    They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding，so their effect on the environment can be controlled．
    57．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US？C
    A．Trees that worms can't hurt．
    B．Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack．
    C．Trees that can resist wind better．
    D．Genetically engineered trees．
    58．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees？B
    A．They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
    B．Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses．
    C．Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus．
    D．Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees．
    59．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered？A
    A．Papaya．B．Pine．C．Apple．D．Poplar．
    60．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous？BecauseD．
    A．these trees can destroy the balance of nature
    B．everything except trees has been genetically engineered
    C．trees are home to many endangered species
    D．these trees may affect normal trees．
