A

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!

The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget (预算，经费), and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.

When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

56. What is the main idea of the article?

A. An unusual school.           B. Children’s hobbies.   

C. A school without teachers  D. Education in the US.

57. What does the school believe?

A. Teachers cannot teach children well.

B. Children learn best when they do what they want to do.

C. Learning is for adults—children should only play.

D. Children should only learn about one thing at a time.

58 What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?

A. They love learning.         

B. They are very naughty.

C. They want to be outside all the time.      

D. They are too young to learn anything.

59. Who has the most power in the school meeting?

A. The older children have more power than the younger children.

B.A child has more power than an adult.

C. The younger children have more power than the older children.

D. Everybody has equal power.

C

The next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. In size it is nearly equal to the area of North and South America. However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (摄氏). There is no air, and no water.

Today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters (临时住所). These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. Finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded.

The main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes (圆顶屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商业的) development and to make discoveries important to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing (制造业). Operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. Therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.

64. The area of the moon is _________.

A. about the same as that of North and South America

B. larger than that of North and South America

C. hardly equal to that of North and South America

D. far smaller than that of North and South America

65. According to this passage, the settlement of the moon ________.

A.will soon be realized

B.can be done under the moon surface

C.is being experimented by many scientists

D. sounds entirely impossible

66. To stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to ________.

A. develop commerce

B. get enough food, oxygen and water

C. make discoveries important

D. explore the possibilities of industrial development

67. Though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for ________.

A. making such things as industrial diamonds  

B. all kinds of manufactured goods

C. medical operations                     

D. commercial development
