10．In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day．Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game．This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement day（毕业典礼）．Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance．
Several days before Homecoming，students start to decorate the school．There are signs to wish luck to the team，and many other signs to welcome all the graduates．Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation．

7．New research shows that kids from low-income families may be falling behind their peers because an important part of their brains is underdeveloped．
Researchers from MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research compared the brains of 12-and 13-year-olds from rich families with the brains of their peers from lower-income families．They found that one particular area of the brain-the neocortex（新皮质），which plays a key role in memory and learning ability-is thinner in children from lower-income households．
This is a   crucial  part of the brain for young students，who are often tested based on their ability to recall large chunks of information．Children who had a thinner neocortex performed poorly on standardized tests，researchers found．More than 90% of high-income students scored above average on a statewide math and English/Language Arts standardized test，compared with less than 60% of low-income students．Differences in cortical（脑皮层） thickness could account for almost half of the income-achievement gap in this sample，researchers wrote．
"Just as you would expect，there's a real cost not living in a supportive environment．We can see it not only in test scores，in educational attainment，but within the brains of these children，"says psychological scientist John Gabrieli，a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and one of the study's authors．
Since a 2011study published by Stanford University professor Sean Reardon found that the gap between standardized test scores of high-income and low-income students has grown by about 40% since the 1960s，there's been a lot of research aimed at finding links between income and achievement，rather than race alone．The MIT study found low-income children were equally likely to have a thinner neocortex，no matter their races．
Gabrieli and his co-authors can't say exactly why poor children's brains develop differently because there are too many possibilities to count．Their findings do，however，underline the importance of early intervention（干预） to ensure that low-income kids get the tools they need to succeed．

24．What's the function of the first paragraph？D
A．To list some findings．
B．To give some advice．
C．To do some comparisons．

25．What does the underlined word"crucial"in Paragraph 3mean？B
A．Special．       B．Important．
C．Separate．       D．Unknown．
26．What John Gabrieli says in Paragraph 4mainly shows the importance ofD．
A．cognitive ability
B．educational attainment
C．having developed brains
D．living in supportive surroundings
27．What is the main idea of the passage？D
A．Wealthy parents do better in raising children．
B．Differences exist between poor children and rich ones．
C．Poor children study harder due to their financial conditions．
D．Poor children have thinner neocortex than their wealthy peers．

8．Your next car could have two seats，three wheels-two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100miles per hour．Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio．Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side．The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind．
The starting price for the car is just﹩6，800．It has only one door，on the left side，which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs．Having three wheels also makes it cheaper．It has air conditioning，power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio．More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers．Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers （特约经销商）．
Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors．In 2008，tired of high gas prices，he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way．Equally important to him was creating U．S．manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old，unreliable cars．"Whatever matters to you，this can move the needle on it，"he said．
Already，more than 27，000people have reserved one．Paul hopes to make 250，000cars a year by 2016．So far，reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work．Finally，though，he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable．

24．Which of the following shows the design of the Elio？C
