19.More than half of young black men in the United States do not finish high school.Many grow up without fathers and in neighborhoods with gangs,drugs and violence.Sixty percent of those who drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thirty-five.
Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco,California,twenty-three years ago.Mr.Marshall tries to give boys-and girls-a safe refuge and a chance at a better future.Every week,he has two basic messages for his young students:"Stop the violence"and"Don't do drugs."
Mr.Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college.
He got a lot of horror stories-a lot of his former students ended up dead or in prison for selling drugs,being involved in gangs,and girls ended up getting pregnant(懷孕).
The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year.Two times a week,it offers after-school classes in math,reading,family and life skills,and college preparation.
Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem."That's what these young people get.They develop a street mentality-anger,fear and pain.Then we tell them to follow some new rules for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying alive and free."
But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio.In 1991,Joe Marshall started"Street Soldiers,"a weekly call-in show.Marlena,one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Club,is at Southern University right now,going into her third year.She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega,by listening to"Street Soldiers,"and she said she had learned how to love herself.
The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help students stay in school.Over ninety percent of members who were accepted into college have graduated.
41.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.what problems many young black men are faced with

分析 本文講述了美國(guó)存在的一個(gè)社會(huì)問(wèn)題--有一半多的年輕黑人不能完成學(xué)業(yè),過(guò)早地淪入社會(huì),接觸槍支毒品和暴力.一位中學(xué)教師Mr.Marshall成立Omega Boys Club,幫助美國(guó)黑人重塑人生.

解答 41.D;主旨大意題.文中主要講述的是Omega Boys Club是如何幫助美國(guó)黑人青年重塑人生的,D項(xiàng)最能概括文章大意.
42.A;推理判斷題.倒數(shù)第二段提到Marlena在南方大學(xué)上學(xué),正要進(jìn)入大三.她通過(guò)Omega Boys Club和"Street Soldiers"節(jié)目,已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)了如何自愛(ài),這表明該俱樂(lè)部的做法比較成功.
43.D;細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第二段的前兩句可知,"Street Soldiers"是一個(gè)廣播節(jié)目,故選D項(xiàng).
44.C;正誤判斷題.由第五段的第二句可知該俱樂(lè)部開(kāi)設(shè)基本學(xué)科知識(shí)和生活技能方面的課程,故C項(xiàng)正確.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是社會(huì)文化類閱讀,考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時(shí)要了解文章大意,分析句型,明確關(guān)聯(lián)關(guān)系,結(jié)合上下文判斷找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷,確定答案.

14.Imagine a school where there are no academic requirements,no curriculum,and no tests.Children have total contro1of their education and are free to do what they want all day,every day.Sudbury Valley School in Framingham,Massachusetts has been operating this way since 1968.More than 30schools worldwide have imitated the Sudbury model,and over 200schools identify similarly as"democratic schools."These schools are designed based on the belief that children have an innate curiosity to learn and do best when they direct their own learning.
Sudbury Vallev School admits anyone who wants to enroll(注冊(cè))between the ages of 4and 18.Many parents send their kids from a young age because they believe that kids do best when they learn what they want to learn.Other students come to Sudbury because they had various issues in traditional school systems including rebellion,learning difficulties,and  emotional problems.
Sudbury is administered through a democratic process where every student and staff member has an equal vote.In fact,students outnumber staff 20 to 1.There's no age  segregation(差別);four-year-olds can hang out with teenagers.Many staff members are part time and have rich careers as historians,businessmen,psychologists,artists,among others.
Learning is self-directed and occurs informally through having conversations,starting  projects.reading for enjoyment,and playing games.If students are interested in a particular topic,they work with staff and other students to organize courses and find resources.The  requirement for getting a high school diploma is to write an essay about how they are prepared t0be an adult.95%of students graduate.90%of graduates end up going to college,better than the national average of 66%.
Most graduates say that they benefited from a self-directed education because they were  more motivated than their peers,lacked fear of authority figures,and got a head start in their field of interest.They work hard at doing the things they love to do.

51.From Paragraph 1,we can know thatB.
A.there are curriculums and tests in the school
B.children can control their education freely in the school
C.the school has been a"democratic school"for 50years
D.the school thinks their children lack curiosity
52.Paragraph 2mainly talks aboutD.
A.How parents send their children there
B.When parents send their children there
C.What children do in Sudbury Valley School
D.Why parents send their children there
53.Which of the following shows the school is democratically managed?A
A.Students have the same right as staff in voting.
B.There are as many students as staff members.
C.The students are of the same age.
D.All staff members work part-time.
54.How can the students in Sudbury get their diploma?D
A.By having conversations.     B.By reading for enjoyment.
C.By playing games.            D.By submitting a qualified paper.
55.Most graduates'attitude towards Sudbury Valley School's education might beC.
A.unclear    B.negative    C.positive   D.doubtful.

4.Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV,friend requests,exciting online games and your mobile-or would you easily survive?
Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban (禁令)by unplugging (切斷,撥掉)all forms of media devices for 24hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers."They're reporting withdrawal symptoms (脫癮癥狀),overeating,feeling nervous,lonely and disconnected."
During the 24-hour experiment,three of the experiment's guinea pigs had to bear one intrusion (侵?jǐn)_)from the media:a BBC reporter and cameraman who followed them around for the day.They were asked to write down 100lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote:‘Today,my whole morning routine (常規(guī))was thrown up into the air______.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
And Charlotte Gay wrote:"I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool,it's my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.
So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

45.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?C
A.To ask for information.
B.To entertain the readers.
C.To lead to the topic.
D.To present an idea.
46.About Dr.Roman Gerodimos'experiment,we know thatA.
A.volunteers felt uncomfortable in it
B.three pigs were included in it
C.a(chǎn) BBC reporter discussed the experiment
D.volunteers were allowed to take their laptops
47.The underlined expression"Was thrown up into the air"in the sixth paragraph
meansB.
A.went on normally    B.was completely disturbed
C.turned out perfect  D.was badly designed
48.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?B
A.Surviving without the Media
B.Unplugging Your Life
C.Valuing Social Communication
D.Setting Aside Time for Sleep.
