Many ESL (English as a Second Language) students in the United States enroll in (注冊(cè)學(xué)習(xí)) academic preparation programs and are in their late teens or early twenties. This is often a time when students are looking back on childhood in a different way. Their childhood memories and their viewpoint on those memories can be very useful for the production of wonderfully creative writing.
For this project, the students began in class by closing their eyes and trying to return to their childhood years in order to bring early memories to their mind. After imagining for a few minutes, they began to tell each other what they remembered about those years and tried to describe a particular incident that stood out in their memories.
That evening they wrote in their journals about the incident, embellishing (潤(rùn)飾) the story as much as possible. The next day, they read the story to a different partner and got feedback (反饋意見). The partner’s job was to: ask more questions to bring back the writer’s memory; help the writer make sure that past tense verbs were used correctly, focusing on the difference between those things that were still true and needed present tense and those things that belonged specifically to the past. Two days later, students made necessary changes or additions and turned in a typed copy of their story. I then made my own comments about their work and asked them to revise their work. The third draft (稿子) produced some very good work.
小題1:The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
A．show readers the difficulty he had in his work
B．explain his idea of English learning
C．show readers how ESL students live and study
D． tell readers how he taught his ESL students to write
小題2:What did the author ask his students to write about?
A．What they saw around them.
B．Their predictions for the future.
C．Their childhood memories.
D．Their opinions of the United States.
小題3:In what order do the students write their compositions according to the passage?
a. share their writing with their classmates
b. exchange their memories
c. write their stories
d. ask for others’ feedback
e.  make some changes to their compositions and have them typed
f.  corrected by the teacher
g.  recall their stories
A．g-b-c-a-d-e-fB．g-c-a-d-b-f-e
C．e-f-b-c-a-g-dD．d-e-f-g-a-c-b
小題4:A partner may help do the following things EXCEPT _____.
A．make the memory more complete
B．find spelling mistakes
C．check the tense of the verbs
D．give some feedback

The south and east of the Great Lakes is famous for the huge amounts of snow it receives. When the snow starts to fall every year,　people start discussing the phrase “l(fā)ake-effect snow”.
Lake-effect snow which is influenced by the movement of cold air over the relatively warm water of the Great Lakes often comes in late autumn and early winter. Because of the at least 20 degrees’ difference between the lake water and the overrunning air, it’s easy to form huge amounts of snow.
As the cool air crosses the water of Great Lakes, the lowest levels of the atmosphere begin to warm and pick up moisture. This newly warmed atmosphere is lighter than the cold air above it, so it starts rising. As the changed air continues to climb higher and higher, it finally meets much colder atmosphere which changes the moisture into water drops and ice, forming clouds. After this course repeats a number of times, the clouds become heavier and heavier, and then they are changed into snow and fall down.
The most important point that decides the amount of snowfall is the direction of the wind. If the wind runs perpendicularly（垂直地）across the lake, there won’t be plenty of time for clouds to develop. However, if the wind runs in the opposite direction, clouds will form easily. The longer the cold air travels over the lake, the more moisture it is able to produce, which leads to a greater amount of snow.
The largest amount of the lake-effect snow was found across the U.P. of Michigan, the northwestern Pennsylvania and the far southwestern and northwestern New York, which are all along the south or east of the Great Lakes. It has been over 100 inches of snowfall in a winter season.
小題1:The level of the snowfall depends on ________.
A．the size of the lake
B．the direction of the wind
C．the temperature of the lake
D．the strength of the wind
小題2:From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．clouds are easy to produce with the help of the perpendicular wind
B．cold air always falls down and picks up moisture to form clouds
C．the temperature of the lake water is the same as the overrunning air’s above it
D．the longer journey of the cold atmosphere can make a grater amount of snow
小題3:The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the influences of the lake-effect snow for local people
B．the weight between moisture and atmosphere
C．how the phrase “l(fā)ake-effect snow” comes in New York
D．how the lake-effect snow forms around the Great Lakes

Over the past decade, cheating—an act of academic dishonesty—has become more and more common.
The latest statistics shows more than two thirds of high school students admitted cheating on an exam last year, and—even more surprising—often the best students cheat to get to the top of their class—and they don’t think it is wrong. It’s not a big deal. Everybody is doing it.
It is a big deal! Cheating is basically wrong and must be punished.
If students easily get away with it, they might be encouraged to do it again. They won’t realize that this—in the broadest sense—is an attack on our society, which is based on values like honesty and fairness. The present spreading of cheating indicates a loss of those values and cannot be tolerated. An appropriate punishment for cheating incidents would make students aware of their misbehavior.
If no one were punished for cheating, who would ever study for an exam? Tons of papers would be lifted from websites, writing crib sheets would be more important than reviewing the subjects, and highly sophisticated cheating arts would be invented. Knowledge would only exist on the Internet and on cleverly created cheat sheets, but not in the minds of the students—a rather bad precondition to enrich our society wisely and intelligently.
Students have to learn that they have to learn. Only doing what’s right will bring them a feeling of pride and accomplishment and create self-confidence—the building blocks for a successful and satisfying life and a society that keeps its values.
小題1:What is more surprising is that       .
A．cheating is very common in schools
B．over 2/3 of the students cheat last year
C．even the best students cheat on exams
D．teachers are not aware of the problems
小題2:How do they make the students realize their misbehavior?
A．By letting them getting away with it.
B．By telling them what is right.
C．By catching them on the spot.
D．By giving them some punishment.
小題3:How can students create self-confidence?
A．By knowing they have to learn.
B．By doing what is right.
C．By learning the right things.
D．By being punished when cheating.
小題4:What does the underlined word “l(fā)ifted” mean?
A．takenB．removedC．copiedD．written

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment(環(huán)境) clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are the things students often do.
Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember:
Walk, jump, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

Education is not an end , but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable（流行的）to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid --- one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees（學(xué)位）they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be unwilling to do one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion,_________
A．free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
B．a(chǎn)ll the social problems can’t be solved by education
C．education can solve most of the world’s problems
D．free education will help to solve all the problems of society
小題2:The writer wants to prove that _______
A．a(chǎn) farmer is more important than a professor
B．our society needs free education for all
C．our society needs all kinds of jobs
D．work with hands is the most important
小題3:The purpose of education is to ________
A．build a perfect worldB．let everyone receive education
C．choose officials for the countryD．prepare children mainly for their future work
小題4:What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．The type of educationB．The value of education
C．The means of educationD．The system of education
小題5:What can we learn from the text?
A．Work with hands is thought to be shameful in some modern countries.
B．In all modern countries, free education has been fashionable.
C．A perfect nation can solve all the problems of society.
D．A professor is far more important than a farmer.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective(有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze(微風(fēng))touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tried his best to protect natural environment from today on.
小題1:The underlined word”undermined”(in Paragraph 1)means __________.
