19．Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools．In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state．But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it．
         A charter school might be independent or connected to the local public school system．It might be started by teachers，parents or，in some cases，a profit-making business．It sets up the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured．And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network （GCSN）．The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but also to go further than that．
         The schools teach students to be concerned with community issues （社區(qū)事務(wù)） that affect them and the environment．For example，young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating．Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria．And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need．
         Jim McGrath is president of the GCSN．He says there are about two hundred"green"charter schools across the United States．The plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools．"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child，every adult-has a responsibility that our action，every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in．And that our natural resources are never unlimited．And that if we want a positive earth for future generations，we all need to make commitments to be change agents so that we don't destroy our natural resources，"said Jim McGrath．              
         The GCSN holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota．Supporters of green schools say their goal is to expand the movement across the country．
66．Which of the following is tine of a charter school？D
A．It has more strict school rules．
B．It is built for disabled students．

9．Americans use many expressions with the word"dog"．People in the US love their dogs and treat them well．They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．However，dogs without owners lead a different kind of life．The expression"to lead a dog's life"describes a person who has an unhappy life．
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．That means many people are competing for the same thing，like good jobs．They say that to be successful，they have to work like a dog．This means they have to work very hard．Such hardwork can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．
Some people say，"Every dog has its day．"This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that old people don't like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things．
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways．People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don't want．But mean dogs are often used to guard the property，for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather but we don't want it to rain too hard．We don't want it to rain cats and dogs．
64．A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as"C"．
A．becoming sick as a dog             B．living in a dog-eat-dog world
C．leading a dog's life               D．working like a dog
65．The underlined word"mean"in Paragraph 4 most probably meansB
A．selfish           B．violent       C．wild           D．poor
66．What can we learn from the text？
A．Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old．C
B．It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills．
C．Fierce persons aren't so awful as they appear sometimes．
D．Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement．
67．To support his idea，the author develops the text mainly byD．
A．listing reasons                      B．using idioms
C．making comparisons                   D．giving examples．

10．In general，people talk about two groups of colors：warm colors and cool colors．Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people：people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors．
The warm colors are red，orange and yellow．Where there are warm colors and a lot of light，people usually want to be active．People think that red，for example，is exciting．Sociable people，those who like to be with others，like red．The cool colors are green，blue and violet．These colors，unlike warm colors，are relaxing．Where there are cool colors，people are usually quiet．People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue．
Red may be exciting，but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors．He suggests that a warm color，such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant．People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly．Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly．Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool．
However，almost everyone agrees that red，orange，and yellow are warm and that green，blue，and violet are cool．Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days．Because in the north the sun is higher during summer，the hot summer sunlight appears yellow．

29．Which of the following colors belong to cool colors？A
A．Blue，violet   
B．Yellow，green   
C．Black，blue．
D．Brown，white
30．Which of the following statements is not true？C
A．Sociable people like warm colors．
B．Warm colors can make people excited．
C．People who like to be with others don't like red．
D．Where there are warm colors，people want to be active．
31．Which is the right color for different rooms？B
A．Red or orange for offices．
B．Orange for dining rooms．
C．Blue for bedrooms．
D．Red for studies
32．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？D
A．Two groups of colours            
B．Cool colours
C．Warm colours                   
D．Colours and people．

7．Five teens from Sarasota，F(xiàn)lorida，are making music from garbage．The Garbage-Men band's instruments are made from recycled objects．The guitars are boxes．A horn is made from pipes．The keyboard is formed from old bottles．
The band started about two years ago．Jack Berry decided to make a playable，homemade guitar．After some trial-and-error，he ended up building it from a cereal box，a yardstick and toothpicks．After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray，Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade instruments as a way to promote recycling．"We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin（垃圾箱），"Jack，16，said，"You can actually reuse materials．"
Ollie，15，plays drums made from trash cans．Evan Tucker，15 （bass guitar）； Harrison Paparatto，15 （horns and violin）； and Austin Siegel，15，（keyboard），round out the band．

The band donates the money from sales to charity．They have raised more than $2，500for Heifer International．The organization gives farm animals，seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger．
The band-all tenth graders-tries to play a gig（演奏會）for America's Got Talent．The teens hope to eventually take their show on the road by touring in other states．"Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it's really accessible，"Jack says．Their instruments may be garbage，but their message isn't．

61．Who first had the idea to organize the Garbage-Men band？B
A．Jack Berry  B．Ollie Gray  C．Evan Tucker  D．Harrison Paparatto

14．Today，in many high schools，teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs，digital cameras．DVD players and laptops．Teachers can e-mail parents，post messages for students on online bulletin（公告，告示） boards，and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse．
Even though we are now living in the digital age，the basic and most important element of education has not changed．Most students still need that one-on-one，teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed．Teenagers need instruction in English，math or history，but they also want personal advice and encouragement．Kids talk with me about their families，their weekend plans，their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems．In my English and journalism class，we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive（富有哲理的） essays，but we also discuss college basketball，the war in Iraq and career choices．Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars，their family vacations，and their newborn baby brothers．This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace．
A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general．Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around，I knew his family life was far from ideal．Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades，he always had the same reply："It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway．"Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way，I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my"value of a high school education"lecture．He needed to hear this speech from me．After he left my class，he struggled through the next two years of school．But，he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there．We'd cared about him finishing school．
Recently，I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant．I told him again how proud I was of him．He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician．I encouraged him to get that training．
Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide，to tutor，to listen，to laugh and to cry with them．Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process-the human one．

41．The first paragraph mainly discussesB．
A．the variety of modern teaching methods
B．the wide use of modern technology in education
C．the importance of teacher-parent relationship
D．the importance of using modern technology
42．The underlined word"compassionate"in Para 5meansC．
A．a(chǎn)mbitious   B．knowledgeable   C．sympathetic   D．generous
43．According to the text，the most important element in education isD．
A．teacher's good instruction   B．a(chǎn)dvanced technology
C．teachers'encouragement       D．personal connection
44．The author states his view of education byA．
A．example   B．description   C．figure   D．comparison．

8．There is no doubt that a common language used throughout the world would do much to bring countries closer to each other．Though it is becoming increasingly easy to move from place to place，our inability to communicate with one another gives rise to numerous misunderstandings and makes real contact between people of differing nationalities impossible．Many attempts have been made to overcome this problem and they have all failed．The fear of foreign influence and domination rules out the universal acceptance of any one of the existing major languages．Aware of this difficulty，many linguists have constructed artificial languages which could have no possible political overtones （暗示）．They have argued that a language of this sort would perform much the same service as Latin did in the Middle Ages．
Although linguists succeeded in making their artificial languages extremely simple so that they would be easy to learn，their efforts seemed   doomed from the start．The reason for this is that there is no real motivation to learn an artificial language．There is nothing to guarantee that everybody is willing to make the effort； there is no assurance that the learner will have any adequate return for his hard work．When people today undertake to learn a foreign language，they are not interested only in speaking it．Mastery of a language makes available to the learner a great deal of worthwhile literature and many current publications．This is the biggest stumbling-block of all for the artificially-constructed tongue．Having no literature of its own，all it can offer is a limited number of translations，which are valueless in themselves．Nor can it acquire any literature；for it would have to be used for a great many generations before this could become possible．Moreover，constant use over a long period would bring into being many'national'dialects and the language would thus defeat its own purpose．
Another serious objection is the fact that a language is shaped by use and not by design．It is a living thing which is forever growing and changing．It takes hundreds of years before it can acquire richness and depth．In an artificial language，however，the meanings of words are rigidly defined．Inflexibility makes for an absence of subtlety （微妙），so that no really fine meaning can be conveyed．Though this quality might be admirable for scientific publications，it greatly slows the formation of any significant literature．Latin was ideal in this respect，for it was a'dead'language with a literature； an artificial one is'dead'from the start．This makes it likely that existing language barriers will remain with us for a very long time．

59．What would be the best title for this passage？C
A．A Solution to Language Barrier
B．Language Barriers In Communication
C．Problems With Artificial Languages
D．Latin，A Dead But Ideal Language
60．What does the underlined word"doomed"in Paragraph 2mean？A
A．defeated       B．a(chǎn)cclaimed     C．disliked     D．welcomed
61．Artificial languages haven't succeeded in overcoming language barriers mainly becauseB．
A．they lack motivation to learners
B．they have no literature of their own
C．they are designed but not shaped in use
D．they will be mixed with national dialects

9．Have you eaten too much over the holidays？You should try fidgetingfor a while．Those around you might not like it，but scratching （moving your nails against a part of your body） and twitching （moving suddenly and quickly when you don't want to） is an important way of burning up calories．
 American researchers have found that some people's squirming （continuously turn your body when nervous） and wigging （move in small movements，especially from side to side） equals several miles of slow running each day．
 The scientists，based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phenix，Arizona，are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim．
  In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels．By the end of the day，some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping，（moving the front part of your foot up and down） finger-drumming （hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard） and other nervous habits．However，others had burned up only 100 calories．
  The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women，but there was no significant difference in men．Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do．
