题目内容

Does your school have any problems with discipline(纪律)? What happens when students step out of line?
Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
? Playing truant(逃学) (missing school without permission from parents).
? Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.
? Cheating on exams.
? Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.
? Not doing homework.
? Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
? Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
? Exclusion（开除）: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
? Suspension（停课）: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
? Detention（拘留）: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.
? Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, _________when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home&school contract（契约，合同）, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.

Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8. The computers that use the XP system are not as safe as before.
The "demise" of Windows XP will have the greatest influence on China because it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world. Microsoft's decision to "kill" Windows XP, a product with hundreds of millions of users, has a certain purpose to show its strong position in the operating system market.

At the same time, the "death" of XP has created opportunities for China's IT companies to grow and develop.
In fact, shortly after Microsoft announced the “demise” of XP,some Chinese IT security(安全)providers were willing to offer safe solutions for XP users who do not change into a new system.
Information security is crucial for the IT companies, and the key to safeguarding information is the core technology, which very much depends on innovation(革新).
Although China has some well-known IT companies, it still does not have the core technology to develop an operating system. Many people are always complaining about and criticizing.  Therefore, only by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation can China break the monopoly(垄断)of international IT giants and protect the internet security.

Science and technology are developing quickly. On the one hand they can improve our lives, but on the other hand, they can cause pollution. 小题1:
Air pollution is a serious problem. Factories and heavy traffic give out a lot of smoke and make the air dirty.        小题2:So the government should take action and make everyone keep the air clean.
The main reasons for noise pollution are heavy traffic and road works. 小题3:Therefore, the government should try to make less noise.
Factories put a lot of dirty water and chemicals into the rivers and the sea. They pollute the water. 小题4:      And it also can make sea animals sick. So the government should stop factories doing that.
The main reasons for land pollutions are construction and people. Construction makes much waste and people throw away a lot of rubbish every day. 小题5: People should stop throwing away so much rubbish and start using old things again.
To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake
A news story is not only correct , but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong .
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
小题1:The writer mentions              main factors (因素) to make a news story really great.
A．twoB．threeC．fourD．five.
小题2:According to the writer, newspaper in Nanchang should talk much about news in           
A．NanchangB．Hong Kong.
C．Shanghai.D．Beijing.
小题3:Which of the following is true ?
A．A small mistake can't get a newspaper into trouble.
B．A lot of people like reading about news from last week.
C．The passage doesn't tell us who was the first man to go into space.
D．People are mostly interested in news that happens far away from them.
小题4:The passage mainly talks about                
A．why to be a good reporter.
B．where to find interesting news.
C．when to choose a good newspaper.
D．how to write a great news story
The largest animal ever to live on Earth is the blue whale（鲸鱼）. It weighs(重) about 80 tons-more than 24 big elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A new baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant. Cats won't die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little. A bear can run as fast as a horse.  A new-born panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams.  Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male（雄性） elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female(雌性) elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body. Usually, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though（尽管） they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time.
小题1:How much does a new-born blue whale weigh?
A．About 10 tonsB．As much as a baby elephant
C．About 80 tonsD．About 3 tons
小题2:A bear can run_______people think they can.
A．faster thanB．slower thanC．as fast asD．as slowly as

A．FiveB．SixC．SevenD．Eight
London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal (煤) that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.
小题1:What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
A．There was too much smoke in the sky.
B．There were too many factories in the city.
C．People burnt too much coal in the houses.
D．The city was too big for the cleaners to clean.
小题2:How did the air in London become much cleaner?
A．There was not so much fog in the winter later.
B．A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
C．Many factories in the city were closed.
D．People paid more attention to cleaning their city.
小题3:What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to?
A．Smog.B．Smoke. C．Gas.D．Coal.
小题4:The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of _____ reasons.
A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four
小题5:Which sentence is NOT true?
A．Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.
B．Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
C．Factories made much more pollution in China.
D．The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.
Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.
I don’t remember much about     we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we    write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she could see there were so many mistakes.    no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It worried my mother, so one day she went to    Mrs White and asked her why she     corrected my mistakes.
And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just     to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to lose the interests with red ink(墨水).     and grammar can wait. The wonder of     won’t... ”.Maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that at that moment. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.
I     now and think Mrs White must have been a rather    teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was     . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went    the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the    I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is    to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And    Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.

Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted（预测）in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.
Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.
Increased carbon dioxide（CO2）in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.
“Predicting species’ reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researches of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.
The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated（低估）the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.
“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance — for both leafing and flowering — that results from temperature increases,” the study said.
The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.
Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis（光合作用）to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.
So far, efforts to cut emissions（排放）of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century — a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.
小题1:What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?
A．Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem.
B．The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation.
C．Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.
D．Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
小题2:We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that ______.
A．plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing
B．there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents
C．scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D．the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change
小题3:Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because _______.
A．they can prove the climate change clearly
B．they are very important in the food chains
C．they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D．they are growing and flowering much faster than before
小题4:What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?
A．It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.
B．Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C．It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1990.
D．It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.
The boss of an Australian restaurant is tired of the waste left by customers. He has required them to eat      on their plates or they’ll be fined and won’t be allowed to       next time.
Chef Yukako Ichikawa has introduced a 30 percent discount for customers who eat all the food they have ordered at Wafu, her      restaurant which is not far from Sydney.
"To contribute to      a future which can continue to develop, we require a little       of our guests than most other restaurants," she says and she has put up a list of her rules on the door to the restaurant .
This list includes finishing all dishes ordered which are free of milk, sugar and eggs and the cook and all her workers tell people who don't      their plates to choose       restaurant next time.
"      your meal means that everything is eaten       lemon slices, ginger(生姜) and wasabi," says the menu.
"Please also pay attention to that vegetables and salad on the      are not decorations（装饰品）; they are       of the meal too."
Wafu's strict rules have been      by some but against by some reviewers. Ichikawa insists on it.
"Wafu is not just a restaurant; it is also the      of Yukako's personal qualities ," says a statement on the restaurant's website.
“We not only serve meals and respect the body       prevent waste. We have       to protect the environment and keep the healthy development of our earth.”
