【題目】Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.

Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.

But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “ Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year. ”

Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.

But calling them “ summer school ” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild , said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “ summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “ summer camp”,“ extra time” and “hands-on learning”.

【1】According to the first paragraph, the summer learning gap __________.

A. helps children to gain weight

B. leads children to work harder

C. improves children's memories

D. affects children's regular studies

【2】Compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones __________.

A. perform better and have more learning gains

B. have much less time for relaxation every year

C. have generally the same number of class days

D. hold more classes with more free weeks off

【3】Which of the following statements is true?

A. Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.

B. Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.

C. There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.

D. Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation.

【4】Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”？

A. They cherish the children's rights of freedom very much.

B. They are worried about the quality of the “summer school".

C. They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.

D. They can't afford the further study during the vacation.

【5】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Opening Summer Camps

【題目】Goldie's Secret

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air(樣子) of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous(以前的) owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless（焦躁不安的）. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

【1】 How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic.

C. Annoyed. D. Upset.

【2】 In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .

A.I felt worried B. was angry

C. ate a little D. sat by the fire

【3】Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .

A. saw her puppies

B. heard familiar barking

C. wanted to leave the author

D. found her way to her old home

【4】The passage is organized in order of .

A. time B. effectiveness（效果）

C. importance D. complexity（復(fù)雜性）

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】The orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge-probably the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed bridge in the world-are visible from almost every point of elevation in San Francisco.

The only cleft （穿過）in Northern California's 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52 months to design and build. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive （龐大的）suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the world's longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, and was designed to with-stand （經(jīng)受�。�winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft. Handsome on a clear day, the bridge takes on an eerie （陰森森的）quality when the thick white fogs pour in and hide it almost completely.

You can either drive or walk across. The drive is the more thrilling of the two options as you race under the bridge's towers, but the half-hour walk across it really gives you time to take in its enormous size and absorb the views of the city behind you and the head-lands of Northern California straight ahead. Pause at the midway point and consider the seven or so suicides （自殺）a month who choose this spot，260ft up, as their jumping-off spot. Monitors of such events speculate that victims always face the city before they leap. In 1995，when the suicide toll from the bridge had reached almost 1000，police kept the figures quiet to avoid a rush of would-be suicides going for the dubious （令人懷疑的）distinction of being the thousandth person to leap.

Perhaps the best loved symbol of San Francisco, in 1987 the Golden Gate proved an auspicious （幸運(yùn)的）place for a sunrise party when crowds gathered to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Some quarter of a million people turned up （a third of the city's entire population）；the winds were strong and the huge numbers caused the bridge to buckle, but fortunately not to break.

【1】The underlined word "buckle" here means __________.

A.collapse B. crash

C. bend D. shake

【2】The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in __________.

A. 1922 B. 1995

C. 1937 D. 1959

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The Golden Gate is the longest bridge in the world.

B. So far about 1000 people killed themselves from the Golden Gate.

C. It took the workers 52 months to build the Golden Gate.

D. San Francisco had a population of about 750，000 in 1987.

【4】If you want to enjoy the views of San Francisco from the bridge, you'd better cross the bridge __________.

A. by train B. on foot

C. by car D. by ship

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(擔(dān)任考試委員會(huì)主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.

Then the professor asked about the cure (藥劑) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.

“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”

“A full spoon”, answered the student.

“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.” said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

“I’m sorry, sir.” said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”

【1】【改編】Why were the students afraid of the professor ?_________.

A.Because they often angered and disappointed him

B. Because he often misunderstood them and give them bad markers

C. Because their answers often astonished him

D. Because their answers seldom satisfied him

【2】Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ______.

A. his last answer was satisfying

B. he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark

C. he had made a mistake

D. he had not done well in the exam

【3】Which of the following is Not true?

A. The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon.

B. The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.

C. Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.

D. If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time.
