14.Huckleberry Finn,the great character from the Mark Twain book,did not like school.He
preferred floating down the Mississippi River on a raft and looking for adventure.That's why
generations of schoolboys have loved reading Huckleberry Finn:they feel the same way about
school as he did.
For many boys,being forced to sit all day in a school room is like being punished for a crime they did not commit.There are endless hours of boredom spent learning things they have no interest in.That's why many boys do poorly in school and many give up on education altogether.
Ironically(具有諷刺意味的是),the whole idea for schools was invented for boys.If a boy wanted to grow up to be a useful man,he had to be educated.By and by,people realized that educating girls was a good idea,too.And,ironically again,it was discovered that the school
system suits girls just fine;so fine that girls now do much better than boys in school.
No one really knows why that is.Some say that girls mature(發(fā)育成熟)quicker than boys and adapt better to school life.Some also say that the school system and the curriculum(課程) have changed to encourage girls but the needs of boys have been overlooked.
Educators are now trying to find ways to get boys to be more successful in school.There are
suggestions to separate the sexes and teach boys separately.There are also suggestions to change
the curriculum to make it more interesting for boys.
Whatever the changes are,boys still will be boys,and dreams of floating down the Mississippi River will always be an attractive choice to just sitting in a classroom.

2.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is the color of most growing plants,too.
Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe..
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation.In the fifteenth century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed.A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)).By the eighteenth century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east.The greenhorn didn't have the skills that he would need to live in the hard,rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains.The new plants produced much larger crops.The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (農(nóng)業(yè)的) scientists who had green thumbs.
41.According to the passage,a greenhorn meansC now.
A.a(chǎn) young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B.a(chǎn) soldier who has not had any experience in war
C.a(chǎn) person who is new in a job
D.a(chǎn) man who doesn't have the skills to live in the country
42.The meaning of the underlined word"ripe"in the second paragraph isB.
A.未完成的      B.成熟的     C.青澀的      D.老練的
43.Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?A
A.If there weren't the Green Revolution,we would have no rice to eat.
B.The expression"the Green Revolution"appeared several years ago.
C.Because of the Green Revolution,we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D.Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
44.We can know from the passage thatC.
A.a(chǎn)ll growing plants is green
B.green is the most important color in nature
C.a(chǎn) person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D.the expression"a green thumb"has a history of two hundred years
45.The main idea of the passage isD.
A.a(chǎn) greenhorn              B.a(chǎn) green thumb
C.the Green Revolution      D.the word"green"and its story.

19.Today I went to Sam's school in the UK.It was really different from my school in China.
Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts,boys wore grey trousers,and everyone wore the school tie.
Some of Sam's lessons were a bit strange for me.We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson,and there were quite some old words like"thou"and"thee"to mean"you".In history we studied 20th Century China.It was strange hearing a foreign side of history-and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!
Classes were also a lot more relaxed than in China.Teachers were called"sir"or"miss",everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes.It was more like adebate  than a class.A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class.
At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room.Lunch was later than in China-at 1o'clock.We had big plates of pie with carrots.For dessert there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding.
It was good that I'd had an excellent lunch,because at Sam's school Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.
I played my first game of netball-a bit like basketball,but with some differences.Luckily I'd had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.

6.Choose the best topic from A to F according to the meaning of each paragraph.
No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to built the house.But the houses are changing all the time.
(61)D.What will the house of the future look like?Could it have gardens on its walls,or a pool with fish for dinner?Architects (建筑學(xué)家) believe that they may come true one day.The only thing for sure is the houses will be as green as possible in the future.
(62)E.Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf,the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day.The energy can be used to heat water,produce electricity,and even make fresh air for the room.The"root"(根) of the house is deep under the ground.It uses the soil to control the room's temperature.
(63)A.Like a lizard (蜥蜴),changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house.When it's in the bright sun,the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat.During dark days,it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
(64)B.This design is perhaps for the future of food.It has a garden on the outside wall of the house.People can plant tomatoes,carrots and green tea on them.So every morning,you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
(65)C.Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green.Sometimes,the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use.For example,a chimney (煙囪) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney.
A.Learning from the past            B.Meals at home
C.The lizard house                                         D.Houses in the future
E.The tree house                                           F.The history of the houses

3.School systems(制度)are different from country to country.
    Unlike us,students in Singapore.where I am studying,have a flexible (靈活) timetable.My friend Amanda is a science student.She chose Chinese literature and language,chemistry and economics.She also has to attend general paper (理解與寫作課),project work,math and PE lesson.On Friday,Amanda only has one PE,one general paper and one economics lesson.On Thursday,however,she has six lessons."Gloomy (郁悶的) Thursday"she said humorously.
    Lunchtimes are not fixed either.On Tuesday,Amanda has lunch at 10:30 am because she has a PE class at noon.On Thursday since the first four lessons take up the whole morning and the noon,she has lunch at 1:00 pm.The different lunchtimes solve the problem of long queues (排隊(duì)) in the student canteen.
    In Singapore students have different lessons in different classrooms while in China we have the same classroom for nearly every lesson.Walking in the school,you always see students rushing toward the next classroom,with their schoolbags on their shoulders.Sometimes the ten-minute-break seems to be too short.I remember on the first day that no sooner had Amanda and I arrived in the classroom than the bell rang.No time to go to the washroom or for snacks.
    And another discovery surprised me.Students are allowed in use calculators (計(jì)算器)in math exams!The students in Singapore calculate everything using calculators.They even use a calculator to find out the sum (總和) of 200 and 300!
    The two school systems have their advantages and disadvantages.I hope the schools in different countries can learn from each other and the world's education make progress.
56.Amanda chose studies all the following subjects exceptC.
A.chemistry        B.general paper      C.physics         D.economics
57.Why does Amanda have lunch at 10:30?BecauseB.
A.the first four lessons take up the whole morning and the noon

C.she is very hungry
D.both A and C
58.Sometimes the writer thinks thatC
A.there are not enough breaks in the day.     B.breaks are too long.
C.breaks are too short.        D.students eat too many snacks.
59.According to the passage,how do students in Singapore find the sum of 200 and 300?D
A.Ask other students                      B.Ask teachers
C.Do the sum themselves                  D.Use a calculator.
60.The passage says thatB.

C.in China we have different classrooms for each lesson.
D.the two school systems are different but equally good.

4.Are you worried about your teachers making too many red marks on your homework paper?Don't feel bad.Sooner or later,those red marks may become a thing of the past.
In Australia,teachers have been asked to stop using a red pen to mark students'work.Education experts say that it's not good for students'mental (心理的) health.
30schools in Australia will carry out a kit (成套方案) this month.The"Good Mental Health Rocks"kit was made to help teachers care about the mental well-being of their students.It offers a list of strategies(策略) by experts.One of them says:Don't mark in a red pen; use a different color.The kit suggests that social and mental well-being has something to do with young people's schooling.
There are also some different ideas about the kit in Australia.Some people think it is not necessary.But Health Minister Stephen Robertson said youth suicide (自殺) was a serious problem."If mental health experts think that teachers should consider those strategies,then I'll support them,"he said."It is not a matter for jokes,this is serious."According to some Australian mental health groups,the largest number of people with mental illness is aged between 18and 24years.

52.What can we learn about red marks according to the first paragraph?B
A.Students like red marks on their homework.
B.The more red marks,the more mistakes.
C.Teachers hate making red marks.
D.Red marks was once stopped in the past.
53.Why are some teachers not allowed to use red marks on their students'work in Australia?A
A.Because red marks may bring students mental problems.
B.Because red means perfect.
C.Because only education experts can use red pens.
D.Because red pens are made of blood.
54.In the sentence"One of them says:…"them refers toC.
A.experts      B.students        C.strategies       D.teachers
55.What is Stephen Robertson's idea about the kit?D
A.He thinks it unnecessary.
B.He thinks it's helpful for mental illness.
C.He thinks it's just a joke.
D.He thinks it's necessary for students'mental health.
