17．Thousands of teenagers will be able to transfer to a new wave of"studio schools"at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK．A dozen new-style schools are designed to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs--young people not in education，employment or training．
Under plans，schools will operate longer days and work outside standard academic terms．
Each pupil will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with businesses linked to the school and teenagers will be assigned a personal coach to act as an academic"line manager"．
    The reforms are put forward due to the fears that too many teenagers are now finishing full-time education lacking the skills needed to succeed in the workplace．According to a recent report，more than two-thirds of employers believe school and college leavers lack important"employability skills"such as customer awareness，while 55 per cent say they are unable to manage their time or daily tasks．And the number of NEETs has hit a record high，with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or training place．
The Department for Education will announce the establishment of 12 studio schools--meeting the need of around 3，600 teenagers--in areas such as Liverpool，Stevenage，Stoke-on-Trent and Fulham，west London．Each one，opening in 2012，will be linked to a series of local employers．Under plans，pupils will be able to transfer out of ordinary schools to attend them between the age of 14 and 19．
The Government said all subjects would be taught"through projects，often designed with employers"--with disciplines such as science being linked directly to local engineering firms or hospitals．Schools will operate a longer day to give pupils a better understanding of the demands of the workplace．Along with their studies，pupils will carry out work placements for four hours a week，rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19．They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications linked directly to the needs of local employers．
68．According to the passage，the NEETs are referred to those whoD．
A．often miss classes from school
B．refuse to take any kind of part-time jobs after school
C．depend on their parents to find jobs after they graduate
D．have no jobs without accepting education and work training

A．interesting and lovely cartoons to make study easier
B．chances to get future jobs with expert job training
C．possibilities to make friends without going outside
D．lessons helping them to be admitted to universities
70．What makes the government decide to found studio schools？C
A．The determination to solve the problem of lacking workers．
B．The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect．
C．The worry about educated people lacking working skills．
D．The increasing number of teens who drop out early．
71．What may most probably attract senior high school students at studio school？A
A．They can find suitable jobs earlier with good qualification．
B．They will be admitted to top companies with received training．
C．They needn't go to university thanks to received training here．

16．Sandstorms hit northwest China's Gansu Province and north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region（内蒙古自治区）on the first day of the new century．According to Sun Landong，a meteorologist （气象学家）with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory，visibility（能见度） was less than 100meters in Minqin，a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia，because of sand．When visibility drops to less than 1kilometer，it is called a sandstorm．The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns，such as Baiyin，Wuwei，Jinchang and Lanzhou，the capital city of Gansu Province．Dustladen winds also swept into Beijing．Brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20meters per second，dust first reached the capital's suburbs at 7a．m．，downtown areas at 9a．m..The winds，which died down during the night，brought the temperature down to as low as 8°C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city's airport．
It is quite rare for sandstorms，which are frequent between March and June，to happen in winter，when the earth is frozen．The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year，when they were serious，but Beijing is taking it very seriously．It is reported that Beijing will spend 6billion yuan（725million dollars）in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them．
44．What is the main idea of the passage？B
A．Sandstorms took place in Gansu．
B．Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new century．

A．Because there was little snow this winter．
B．Because a lot of trees have been cut down．
C．Because people took few measures to control them．
D．It is not mentioned in the passage．
46．Which of the following does NOT belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Beijing？D

13．Have your parents ever caught you misbehaving--fighting with peers，coming home late or playing computer games when you were supposed to be doing your homework？How did they react？Did they try to talk to you or just yell at you？
Parents used to rely on physical punishments like pushing or spanking（打屁股）to control their children's behavior，which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore，most parents now choose to simply yell，thinking that language probably won't hurt as much．But is that really so？
Using harsh words such as"lazy"or"stupid"to insult teenagers is just as harmful as hitting，according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh，US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior，"said Professor Ming-Te Wang，leader of the study．"On the contrary，it makes it worse．"
The study's subjects were 976 two-parent families with teenage children．Researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems while questioning parents about how often they had cursed （咒骂）or yelled at their kids．
Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems afterwards，including fighting，stealing，lying as well as symptoms of depression （抑郁）．
"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying to develop their self-identities．When you yell，it makes them feel they are not capable，that they are worthless and useless，"Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout，their teenagers don't listen．"
While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment，it doesn't teach children to behave how parents want them to．What parents need to do is praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids，they should try things like taking away smart phones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back．
67．What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 3 refer to？D
A．Punishing teenagers．
B．Controlling children's behavior．
C．Talking to children．
D．Using harsh words．
68．We can know from Professor Ming-Te Wang's study thatA．
A．kids often shouted at won't change their problem behavior
B．kids are unwilling to listen to whatever parents say
C．parents should make a list of their kids'misbehavior
D．kids from two-parent families get more harsh words
69．Why does harsh words have negative effects on kids？C
A．Because they make kids more sensitive when they grow up．
B．Because they make kids tend to yell or curse others．
C．Because they make kids doubt their values and lose confidence．
D．Because they make kids eager to be praised．
70．The last paragraph is chiefly concerned aboutB．
A．how to praise children's good behavior
B．how to deal with children's misbehavior
C．the importance of stopping harsh yelling
D．the way to encourage children to correct mistakes．
