8.Thinking of cutting classes?It may come with a high price.In the Newberg School District,parents will get a   225fine for their kids'cutting school after letters,phone calls,and parent-teacher conferences don't work.
School officials hope the policy will improve attendance and encourage parents to do a better job of keeping track of their children."In today's world,if you don't go to school,you'll have a hard time getting ahead in life,"Noosha Razavian,a teacher from Newberg High School says."Fining parents if their child cuts school will make sure that today's kids don't end up on a street corner.Not only does this rule keep teens'futures bright,but it also keeps parents responsible for their children."
No parent wants to pay a   225fine.Lori Oberstadt,a mother of two from St.Paul,Minn.,says,"Paying the fine would change my kids'attitudes.There would be consequences for my children if I were to pay that fine,like no Facebook or cell phone."
But others argue that parents shouldn't be held responsible for their children's bad behavior."Parents cannot always watch their children.Many parents have to work or take care of younger children.In the end,students,not their parents,need to be held responsible for their actions,"Cole Boettcher,a father in Newberg says.
In some cases,the school may be partly responsible for the students'absences.If school were more interesting,maybe students would enjoy learning more and want to stay in school."As a taxpayer for public schools,parents expect that the educational programs are interesting enough that the students do not feel bored,"says Abby Saadat,the assistant of Encinitas Union School District in Encinitas,Calif.

16.A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care,which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings.She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company,telling him stories.When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注),she would help massage his arms.The doctor found the patient much improved mentally.The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled.Each time the girl left,the old man would give her some money.The doctor did nothing to interfere,unwilling to offend the old man.A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,"I have deep sympathy for the girl.Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"
But the doctor knew that her family was well off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man,the doctor told her the bad news.She was very sad and burst into tears.Then she handed $ 500to the doctor,saying,"The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty.He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling."Now he got the answer to the puzzle.In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

1.If you're a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care,what kind of people do you have to attend to?C
A.Patients with a lot of money.B.Patients suffering from cancer.
C.Patients without many days left.D.Patients living alone.
2.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.The doctor told the old man the truth.
B.The old man's children were wealthy.
C.The girl's father encouraged her to accept the money.
D.The girl didn't accompany the old man when he died.
3.What is the real reason resulting in the old man's mental improvement?B

3.As you grow older,you'll be faced with some challenging decisions-like whether to cut class or try cigarettes.Making decisions on your own is hard enough,but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder.People who are your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence how you act,to get you to do something,it's called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book,and now everyone's reading it.These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.For example,a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says"no"to peer pressure,but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You've probably had a parent or teacher advising you to"choose your friends wisely."Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.If you choose friends who don't cut class,smoke cigarettes,or lie to their parents,then you probably won't do these things either,even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle,talk to someone you trust.Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two.

29.For whom is the passage most probably written?A

13.Many years ago in a small German town,a Jewish businessman had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a moneylender.The moneylender,who was old and ugly,fancied the businessman's beautiful daughter.So he proposed a bargain.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag.The girl would then have a pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble,she would become the moneylender's wife and he would forgo her father's debt.If she picked the white pebble,she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.But if she refused to pick a pebble,her father would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble-strewn path.As they talked,the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles.The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag.He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.No doubt she was caught in a dilemma.
What would you have done if you were the girl?Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1.The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2.The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose (揭露) the moneylender as a cheat.
3.The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.
The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的) and logical thinking.
Read on.
The girl put her hand into the bag and drew out a pebble.Without looking at it,she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles."Oh,how clumsy of me!"she said."But never mind.If you look into the bag for the one that is left,you'll be able to tell which pebble I picked."Since the remaining pebble was black,it must be assumed that she had picked the white one.And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty,the girl changed what seemed a terrible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

55.The underlined word"forgo"in Paragraph 2may mean"B".

57.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.

20.The environment is everything that surrounds us:plants,animals,buildings,country,air,water---everything that can affect us in any way.The environment of a town,with its buildings and its noise and smells,is a far cry from that of the countryside,with its fields and crops,its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness(辽阔).And the environment differs in different parts of the world.
Ecology is the science of how living things exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment.Where an environment is peaceful,the ecology of an area is in balance.
Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology than any other living things.He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water.He has wasted the earth's natural resources with no thought for the future,and has thought out the cruel ways of killing his fellow men---and every other sort of life at the same time.
Since man has done so much damage,it is up to man to try to put matters right---if it is not already too late.If there is to be any solutions for our ills,that solutions lie in the hands of the young,and the sooner they start doing something about it,the better.
One of the main causes of the earth's troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever increasing speed.At the same time we are using up our natural resources at an ever increasing speed with no hope for replacing them.
For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly growing populations and the position is gradually becoming worse since the areas that were once rich have turned into deserts.
Even at this moment many of the earth's natural treasures are being destroyed,many valuable animals and plants are being killed off,and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to prevent much of the earth's population from hunger.The situation is getting out of hand.Time is running out.But with your help,we may be able to save ourselves.Who cares?

61.What is the main theme of the passage?C
A.Environment    B.Overpopulation    C.Environment protection    D.Ecology and science
62.The environment isD.
A.almost the same in the world          B.different in different towns
C.almost the same in different towns     D.different from place to place
63.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.man can do little to keep the ecological balance
B.the environment in town is worse than that in the countryside
C.to control the population is also a necessary way to keep the ecological balance
D.no one really cares about the earth.
64.The underlined word"upset"is closest in meaning toC?
A.worry     B.pollute        C.break        D.possess
65.It is not clearly stated but implied in the passage thatA.
A.we can do something to save the earth
B.we can grow more food to save ourselves
C.we can do nothing about the natural resources
D.we can not make good use of our time.
17.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.
It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have
disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First,don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if  the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third,see things from your frien's point of view.And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle hange.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

18.Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education.One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere.He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English,French,Math and History at a private school in Manchester.Here is his response:
For me,the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic,but goes against the idea of liberty.We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools.If parents pay taxes,surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school.
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast.Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools.Many state schools are already overburdened; do they really need more pupils?Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated.In the times of economic crisis,should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education?There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools.
It is noted that,in general,private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools.Yet,why do people view this as a bad thing?The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education.This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them!If the private schools did not exist,where would be the impetus for state school improvement?
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results.It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model.Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody,learning from a successful system will.
