Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.

The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A＆M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences．Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential (潜能).

Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture．And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says．“This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.”

Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes (蚊子)．His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes（基因） of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever．Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.

The agricultural research at A＆M differs from stereotypes（模式化，老一套）．It’s “molecular (分子) science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says．The program broadened students’ knowledge．Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.

At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research．They’re also paid ＄ 600 for their work—another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.

Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.

1.．The research program is mainly designed for ______.

   A．high school advisers from Houston

   B．college students majoring in agriculture

   C．high school students from different places

   D．researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Science

2.．It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas ____.

   A．had little chance to go to college

B．could often take part in the program

   C．found the program useful to their future

   D．showed much interest in their high school experiments

3.．When the program was over, the students ______.

   A．entered that college                               

B．wrote research reports

   C．paid for their research                            

D．found way to make money

4.．The underlined expression “on the cutting edge” in paragraph 5 means “on the most _____ position.”

   A．important       B．favourable    C．astonishing     D．advanced

5.．What would be the best title for the text?

   A．A Program for Agricultural Science Students

   B．A Program for Animal Science Students

   C．A Program for Medical Science Lovers

   D．A Program for Future Science Lovers

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（每小题2分，满分10分）

76    Spanish people drink coca cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.

     I think that Aerican movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.

      77   Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from country of the European Community.

     American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, coca cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product.   78       

     However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people     79      

     On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. 80   

A.  In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our lives every day.

B.  The Spanish people usually go out to eat.

C.  I’ve known coca cola my whole life.

D.  The spanish people normally eat at home

E.  In the past few years, our country has brought in many American movies.

F.  In the past few years,  the government has tried to protect Spanish movies.

G. The influence of America is increasing in my country.
