On April twenty-second, some American children stayed out of school but they were not punished. They were with their parents. As Faith Lapidus tells us, it was Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.

The Ms. Foundation for Women started the program seventeen years ago, in 1993. At first it was just called Take Our Daughters to Work. Gloria Steinem and other foundation leaders pointed to studies showing that self-image suffers as girls become teenagers. They can lose trust in their abilities and intelligence, especially in areas like science, math and technology. So the Ms. Foundation planned a day for parents in New York City to show girls all the possibilities for them in the professional world. But there was so much interest, the organizers decided to make it national.

At first, girls mostly followed their mom or dad around at work to learn about their jobs. Later, employers and schools began to offer organized activities. But from the beginning there were protests(反对) from parents and others about the exception of boys. So in 2003 the day was renamed Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work.

2007 was the last year that the Ms. Foundation for Women headed the program. Now, the event is run by a twelve-person group called the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation.

The event is connected with Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls.

Carolyn McKecuen is president of the foundation. She says a total of about thirty-three million children and adults are involved in the program. About one-third of the adults work at large companies or nonprofit organizations. Another third are in small businesses. The rest work in education.

Carolyn McKecuen says the numbers from this year's event are not final yet. But early reports suggest that participation was up at least ten percent from last year. And she says the foundation is hoping to find support to expand the program internationally. She says there are lots of requests from other countries for information about how to set up similar programs.

It was called Take Our Daughters to Work at first because ______.

A. girls are considered to be clever than boys

B. girls are considered to be more foolish than boys

C. girls aren’t confident in some areas as they becomes older

D. girls don’t want to learn some science subjects

Why was the day renamed as Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day later?

A. Because some parents were against only girls’ having the chance.

B. Because some parents wouldn’t like to take their daughters to work.

C. Because some employers were against parents’ taking their children to work.

D. Because some schools didn’t want to give any students’ time to leave school.

How many years did the Ms. Foundation for Women head the program?

A. 17 B. 18 C. 14 D. 10

A. April twenty-second is a day for some American children to stay out of school for punishment

B. the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is a national in America

C. Mattel is the president of the foundation whose company makes Barbie dolls

Clean air is made up of only nitrogen, oxygen, and water. As we have industrialized, our cities have grown and traffic has increased. With these development there has come an increase in the number of by-products released into the air, such as particles（细粒）from burning fuels and poisonous gases from chemical reactions. These gases become pollutants.

Air pollution has a bad effect on the earth and our environment. Air pollution can result in acid rain, and it can also lead to the Greenhouse Effect—a condition in which pollution stops radiation from traveling out of the Earth’s atmosphere. This upset to the natural process means that temperatures on Earth may not be maintained within natural ranges. Due to the Greenhouse Effect, temperatures on Earth become warmer, which is known as global warming. What’s worse, air pollution may produce holes in the ozone layer（臭氧层）— this layer of ozone naturally prevents ultra-violet rays （紫外线） from the sun reaching Earth. Holes make it possible for the rays to reach us.

Don’t let all the bad news about air pollution get you down because there are many ways to help fight the air pollution. Every one of us can employ a variety of air pollution solutions. A smoker can give up smoking. While shopping, you can choose organic and natural cleaning products. Driving less and carpool more can also contribute to less pollution. Next time, keep your air-conditioning low. Of course you can plant more trees.

Air pollution is a major problem for our planet. However, as long as we realize how serious the air pollution is and take actions now, everyone can make a difference!

(南昌市南昌二中高三冲刺模拟考试A篇)

It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21^st century．

We’ll know where we came from．Why does the universe exist? To put it another way, why is there something instead of nothing? Since the 1920s, scientists have known the universe is expanding, which means it must have started at a definite time in the past．They even have developed theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution（演变） of the universe．

We’ll crack（破译）the genetic（基因）code and conquer cancer．Thanks to 20^th-century antibiotics, the once dreaded, once incurable disease now can mean nothing more serious than taking some pills．As scientists learn more about the genetic code and the way cells work, many serious diseases ---cancer, for one ---will become less threatening．Using manufactured “therapeutic”（治疗的） viruses, doctors will be able to replace cancer—causing damaged DNA with healthy genes．

We’ll live longer （120 years?）．If the normal aging process is basically an invisible contest in our cells ---a contest between damage to our DNA and our cells’ ability to repair that damage ---then 21st –century progress in genetic medicine may let us control and even reverse the process．

We’ll manage Earth．In the 21st century, we’ll stop talking about the weather but will do something about it．We’ll gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity on the Earth, its climate and its ecosystems（生态系统）．And with that knowledge will come an increasing willingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet．

We’ll have a brain “road map”．This is the real “final frontier” of the 21^st century: The brain is the most complex system we know．It contains about 100 billion neurons, each connected to as many as 1,000 others．

56．In the 20th century, __________ made the serious disease become curable．

A．genetic code B．healthy genes C．antibiotics D．DNA

57．Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?

A．In the 21st century, we will be more willing to manage the working of our planet

B．The brain contains about 1000 billion neurons．

C．The 21st century progress in genetic may let us control the aging process．

D．The universe must have started at a definite time in the past．

58．What’s the main idea of the text?

A．People will live longer and become much stronger in the 21st century．

B．There will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century

C．Science will develop more quickly in the 21st century．

D．People will know more about our world
