Going to school from 8 am until 5 pm may sound terrible，but Sydney Shaw，a seventh grader at the Alain Locke Charter Academy on Chicago's West Side，has come to like it—as well as the extra 20 or so days that she's in class every year．“I'm sure every kid at this school says bad things about the schedule sometimes，”says Sydney, who was at school on Columbus Day, when most Chicago schools had a holiday．“But we all know it's for our benefit.”

Finding ways to give kids more classroom time，through longer hours，a longer school year，or both，is getting more attention．“If you want to look at schools where the achievement gap is narrowing, they're saying they couldn't do it without the added time，”says Jennifer Davis．“Even when you get good teachers into schools，you also need more time．”

According to studies, low-income students fall back more than two months in their reading skills over summer vacations．“It's over the summer months that poor kids fall behind，”says Karl Alexander，a sociologist．“If you have parents who themselves didn't succeed at school and aren't highly educated，kids aren't going to get those skills at home．”

Schools are asked to take a full year to plan how to best use the extra time—a process involving teachers，principals，students and parents．They are given outside support to help them base their plans on the best available analyses of student needs．It's still early，but officials are already seeing stronger test scores and a narrowing achievement gap．

But some critics are worried．“We risk producing something that's very expensive and time-consuming, and that will give educators a lot of trouble，”says Frederick Hess．“Before we spend all that extra money，I'd much rather see if we can figure out how to get 50 percent more instructional time out of the current school day．”

1.From the first paragraph，we learn that ．

A．the longer schedule is harmful to kid's health

B．all Chicago students had a holiday on Columbus Day

C．Sydney Shaw supports the added time

D．few kids are bored with the lack of holidays

2.Low-income students fall behind in summer because ．

A．no good teachers are willing to teach them

B．they can't get help from their parents

C．their parents are unwilling to hire private teachers

D．they themselves have no desire to learn

3.Some people are worried about adding school hours mainly because ．

A．it will have a bad effect on the kids’ futures

B．the current school day has been too busy

C．no one supports the idea

D．it will be costly and time-consuming

4.The text is mainly about ．

A．whether a longer school day will help narrow the achievement gap

B．how students have benefited from additional school hours

C．why the achievement gap among students needs to be narrowed

D．what causes the achievement gap among students

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed — no examination is perfect — but to have no tests or examination would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them — a form of favouritism will replace equality at the moment. The bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.

The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.

1. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that .

A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.

B．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets.

C．children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs.

D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success.

2.. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?

A．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.

B．There would be more opportunities and excellence.

C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.

D．Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

3.. The opponents of the examination system will agree that .

A．jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection

B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs.

C．special classes are necessary to keep the school standards

D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with

4.. The passage mainly focuses on .

A．schools and certificates	B．examination and equality
C．opportunity and employment	D．standards and reputation

Erica David lives in Pinedale,Wyoming，USA，where winter can bring temperatures of below 35 degrees Fahrenheit，howling winds，and a lot of snow．So it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth grade．

Now a junior in high school，Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments，and is well on her way to becoming a snow expert．She started with a basic question：Could snow fences be built to work better?

Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts（雪堆）from covering areas like roads of train tracks，or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts（融化）．“Also，I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow，”says Erica，who raises goats，sheep，and pigs．

Before she could test fence designs，Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments. “I tested flour, sugar, and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder , ”she explains.

Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories, present findings to judges, and meet other researchers. Erica’s many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where students from around the world present their science research.

But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use. She has come up with an improved snow fence design, and this year she’s helping think out how to provide water supply to native plants, which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields.

“Science fairs are an amazing experience,”says Erica. “Just pick your true feeling and go for it. ”

72. What does the passage suggest to us?

A. Science fairs are held for high school students in America.

B. Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America.

C. The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow.

D. The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow.

73. In Erica’s hometown, snow fences may play a part in ________.

a. reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals

b. supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields

c. making up for the lack of water resource.

d. keeping the traffic smooth

A. a,b,c B. a,b,d C. b,c,d D. a,c,d

74. Science fairs are attractive to students because they ________.

A. can have their research put into practical use

B. can have their scientific ideas tested out

C. are allowed to help protect the local wildlife

D. can learn about the most advanced technology

75. Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Erica’s experiment?

A. Flour. B. Sugar. C. Salt. D. Dishwasher powder.

Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备).

The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate (不充足的) water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition (前提) for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.

Consider these facts:

The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.

Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.

Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-born diseases.

Here are three ways you can help:

(1) Write Congress

Current US foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.

(2) Donate to a project with a faith-based organizations

Many US religious groups already donate to water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply a single project by a US organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.

(3) Support nonprofit water organizations

Many US-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects on drinking water and sanitation. Some organizations are large, others small, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.

1.The passage is probably written for .

A. Americans B. people in developing countries

C. religious leaders D. nonprofit water organizations

2.What is the problem that the facts exposed?

A. Inequality between men and women.

B. Many people have no access to clean drinking water.

C. Less effort has been made to improve the basic sanitation.

D. Children suffer most from the lack of basic sanitation.

3.The purpose of the passage is to arouse people to .

A. help the developing countries

B. help solve the water shortage and sanitation problem

C. support nonprofit water organizations

D. help get rid of water-related diseases around the world

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A. From Water Shortage and Sanitation to Poverty

B. Developing World, A Place Needs Help

C. Water Shortage and Sanitation, What Can We Do?

D. Water Shortage and Sanitation

第一节（共18小题；每小题2分，满分36分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called Beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.

At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused Beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.

Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.

41. The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin

C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice

A. spend his holiday

B. find ways to grow better crops

C. do some research about the island

D. help the Javanese with their illness

43. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?

A. To eat them. B. To carry out his experiments.

C. To give the Javanese a surprise. D. To make money by selling them.

44. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ____.

A. eat more rice B. eat more meat

C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills

45. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Beri was caused by chickens

B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins

C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful

D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ
