11.Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rues that Sovem tradi-tional public schools.In the Uruted States the rules for charter schools difFer from state to state. But in Seneral these schools havegreater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
    The"charter'is a perfarmance contract.It establishes thegoals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured. Forty-seven million students attend traditional public schools.But more than a million students attend charter schools:
    And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but toalso go further than that.The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environ-ment. For example,youg children grow crops in a school garden and leam about healthy eat-ing.Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria.And local schoois share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
    Jim McGrath is president.of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about 200"green"charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include tradi-tional public schools as well as private schools.
    Jim McGrath:"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child,every adult-has a reaponsibility that their action,every action we make has an effect on the earth  that we live in. And that our natuntl resources are not unlimited. And that if we want a positive earth for future generations,we all need to make comnutments to be agents of change so that we don't destroy our natural resources.
    The Green Clarter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Min-nesota.It will include companies and orgaizations like Waste Management and the Uruted States Green Brulding Council. We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.

1.None of our early ancestors could digest milk as adults because their bodies never had to----milk drinking simply wasn't an option.As people began to extract milk from animals,though,some people developed the ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives.
Scientists now know of a milk-related mutation ( 变异) in our genes--the chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodies.People who have a mutated form of one particular gene can drink milk just fine.People without the mutation tend to get sick from milk.
To figure out where,and possibly why,milk drinking started,some scientists have been looking at who has the milk-digesting mutation today.Patterns are striking.
Most adults in Northern and Central Europe are able to digest milk--and they do.Cheese and butter and other dairy products are popular in countries such as Sweden,Denmark,Germany and England.Because European settlers dominated North America,most people here can handle milk just fine,as well.That may explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the United States.
In much of Africa,Asia and South America,on the other hand,people tend to avoid dairy products because they lead to diarrhea (腹泻) and other stomach problems.(That's why you won't typically find cheese on the menu at a Chinese,Japanese or Ethiopian restaurant.) Native
Americans are also unable to digest milk.
Based on these genetic patterns,scientists have long thought that-milk drinking started inNorthern Europe,where dairy is an institution and the milk-digesting mutation is everywhere.
A recent study painted a different picture.With a computer medal,Thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milk-drinking mutation,farming and other related factor.Working backward,the scientists concluded that the first milk-thinkers lived in Central Europe around what's now Hungary about 7,500years ago.The practice didn't start farther north,as scientists had thought before.

66.Which of the following is the proper order of events according to the passage?C
a.Their children were able to digest milk as adults.
b.They got sick from the milk.
c.Some people got a mutation in their genes.
d.Some people tried drinking milk from animals.
e.Some people started to drink milk from animals on a regular basis.
A.c→d→b→e→a     B.d→e→b→c→a    C.d→b→e→c→a     D.e→d→b→c→a
67.Most people in the USA can digest milk becauseB.
A.they have strong stomachs                  B.their ancestors were Europeans
C.that's where milk drinking stinted        D.farmers raise a lot of cows there

C.North American Indians were able to digest milk.

70.The main focus of the scientists'research wasD.
A.mutation of human genes                B.development of the human stomach
C.why milk drinking started              D.where milk drinking first started.
8.It might have been a really bad stressful day,feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us.My husband was the first to shift his consciousness.He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone,piling massive amounts of snow.Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's quest to embrace the opportunity the winter presented.Maintaining less than desirable attitudes,we reluctantly put on our snow gear(用具) and headed outside.It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided.Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created.He was eleven feet high,twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families.There he stood,our glorious,gigantic (巨人般的) snowman.
People drove by and smiled.Some even stopped to enjoy his existence.The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed.
With the passing of time,the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably.In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week,I decided to check my email before going to bed.I found a curious message that contained the subject line:enjoy the snowman.I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it.The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said:…your neighbor looks on in disbelief!I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells,along with sights of spring.The energy displayed in Mr.Snowman or Ms,is filled with vigor and joyous energy.You and your family keep it up,as this is what the world needs now.Love sweet love.More power to you and your loved ones,keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day.I'd like to agree that it was.The message seems clear.Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them.The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.

66.How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first?B
A.By having a busy day.   B.By staying at home.
C.By building a snowman.  D.By visiting neighbors.
67.The reason for her husband to make a snowman was thatC.
A.he had to please his neighbors
B.he was better at it than others
C.he wanted to cheer himself up
D.he must get the last chance before spring
68.From the passage we can know that the snowmanB.
A.was built only by the author's family
B.was surprisingly big in size
C.made people more forgiving
D.made building snowman popular
69.Which of the following statements on the email is not true?B
A.It was probably form a neighbor who didn't build the snowman that day
B.It was mainly written to share joys for the coming of spring
C.The writer of the email encouraged the author to keep being vigorous and joyous.
D.The author was deeply touched and inspired by its words.
70.According to the author,D.
A.there are many chances in our life
B.choices are more practical than possibilities
C.we must have our own ideas about our decision
D.we can determine our way of life through our choice.
5.Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited.Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
If fact,it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a spouse,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cup or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-21st century is the equal of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries(dividing line) are healthy,and that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like.In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think.Like it or not,increasingly  we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is:Does that matter?
When opinion polls(民意测验)ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing it.a survey found an overwhelming(very large)pessimism about privacy,with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away,and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort t protect their privacy.Few people turn down a tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cent-off coupon(优惠券).
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes.It's like health; when you have it,you don't notice it.Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.

63.What would psychologists advise on the relationship between friends?C
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other
C.There should be a distance even between friends
D.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
64.Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?B
A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology
C.There are always people who are curious about other's affairs
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities
65.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?D
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
66.According to the passage,privacy is like health becauseD.
A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.its importance is rarely understood
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.people don't value it until they lose it.
