第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Quality after-school programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and other high-risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime, drug use, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting the following fields of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage（剂量）matters ―young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, skill building meaningful involvement, expression suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment, encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs have promising future, how they are designed and run matters.
36. Quality after-school programs can not help the students ___________ .
A. have fewer attendances
B. improve academic performance
C. have high scores on tests
D. decrease high-risk teen behavior
37. According to the passage, a good after-school program is usually determined by _______.
a. its unique opportunities
b. safe and fair environments
c. work staff characteristics
d. students’ willingness and family backgrounds
A. a, b, c, d B. a, b, c C. a, c, d D. b, c, d
38. The main intention of the writer is to __________.
A. present the problems with quality after-school programs
B. warn school leaders of quality after-school programs
C. compare quality after-school programs with bad ones
D. give an introduction of quality after-school programs
39. The attitude of the writer towards after-school programs is that of __________.
A. caution B. compromise C. support D. disapproval
40. Which of the following structures suits the passage best?
B
“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives ― the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do ― as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read ― sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
41. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The
C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper
42. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV
43. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.
44. From the passage, we can infer _______.
A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of newspaper
D. the writer believe some media will die out
45. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _______.
A. depend on B. compete with
C. fight with D. kill off
C
History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi，a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.
Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.
Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.
46. The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams
B. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep
C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems
D. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses
47. The first paragraph is mainly organized by _________.
A. classifying types of experiments
B. summarizing the work of one researcher
C. comparing and exploring historical cases
D. telling in time order about one man’s research
48. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________.
A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad idea
C. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea
49. The author probably thinks that _________.
A. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment
B. dreaming is of very little value to most people
C. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas
D. college students should not try out dream experiments
50. The author seems to be in favor of __________ according to the passage.
A. seeking creative solutions B. avoiding scientific experiments
C. nervous feelings before dreams D. becoming a famous scientist

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
Grasslands need time to recover when cattle and other animals graze on them. Moving animals from one grassland to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing.
Experts say rotational grazing is good for both the land and animals, and it can save a lot of money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticides by reducing the growth of weeds. It can also limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting natural fertilizer, animal droppings, do the job. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.
Rotational grazing is useful because letting animals feed continually in the same areas can require expensive replanting. Animals tend to eat the best plants first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, they are continuously replaced by worse plants.
Experts say that while rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning and that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas. Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less than five centimeters. The pasture should then be kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.
Experts also say that sheep and goats require special preparations. They may need stronger and higher fences compared with other animals. While they eat the grass, they may need to be protected from other animals that might attack them. In conclusion, if rotational grazing is done properly, it can help to protect the environment and allow farmers to profit at the same time. Why not give it a try?
