Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with   36  problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very   37  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   38  diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that she does not want to   41 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   43  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   44  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46  that my sister might read it!
The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   48 about her in my diary, she would never know!   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   50  read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.”  52  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   53  respond and tell her how much they   54  her. Blogs help people   55  in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers’ union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government’s delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.
小題1:If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must                    .
A．try new methods of teachingB．prove its management ability
C．obey the local and state lawsD．get the government’s permission
小題2:Charter schools are independent because                       .
A．they make greater progressB．their class size is smaller
C．they enjoy more freedomD．they oppose traditional ways
小題3:What’s the government’s attitude toward charter schools?
A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Subjective.D．Optimistic.
小題4:What can we learn from the text?
A．More students choose to attend charter schools.
B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C．Students in charter schools are well educated.
D．People have different opinions about charter schools.
小題5:It can be inferred from the text that                       .
A．charter schools are part of the education system
B．one-on-one attention should be paid to students
C．the number of charter schools will be limited
D．charter schools are all privately financed

Science has told us too much about the moon that it is fairly easy to imagine what it would be like to get there. It is certainly not a friendly place. Since there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. There is not much variety of scenery either. For mile after mile there are only flat plains of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky. If you step out of the mountain shadow, it means moving from the severe cold into intense (強烈的) heat. These extreme temperatures continually break rocks away from the surface of the mountains. The moon is also a very silent world, for sound waves can only travel through air. But beyond the broken horizon, you see a friendly sight. Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars. From this distance, it looks like an immense (巨大的) blue, green and brown ball.
小題1:The moon is an unfriendly place because                   .
A．there is no air, no water, no life, no sceneryB．the sun and stars shine in the sky

Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
Who do we help?
The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(預(yù)算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery(文具) to medical provision, cupboards to dinning sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
How do we operate?
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(貨運)，we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff works on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
·Factories·Manufacturers ·Hospitals ·Hotels ·Householders
·Offices ·Other Charities ·Transport Companies ·Educational Institutions
One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
What can I do?
We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate them.
·Clothing categorization ·Sewing ·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling
·Driving ·Book categorization ·Household goods categorization ·Office work
·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping ·Fund- raising
·Stationery categorization ·Medical categorization
Where to find us?
All volunteer work is done at out warehouse:
Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building
Our warehouse hours: Tues.-Sat. 10:00am-5:30pm
Postal address: 16 Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, HK
Office details: Ph: 2984 9309, 2740 9657
小題1:Crossroads International is            .
A．a(chǎn) welfare agencyB．a(chǎn) place to store goods donated
C．a(chǎn)n organization to collect goods for those who need them
D．a(chǎn)n organization run by the government
小題2: People in poor areas can’t get help from the Crossroads if they need            .
A．toys and booksB．furniture and computers
C．fresh water and foodD．clothes and washing machines
小題3: Which of the following is not the choice if you decide to offer help?

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
小題1:According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to ________.
A．strike them on the bottomB．try to help them do the right thing
C．teach them what to doD．take them to court
小題2: Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?
A．It teaches the child to hit others when they offend（使人不快） him or her.
B．The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
C．Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
D．It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.
小題3:Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude towards spanking?
A．favorableB．indifferentC．interestedD．unfavorable
小題4:From this passage, we can conclude that ________.
A．Good children always do the right thing.
B．Parents should try their best to avoid spanking their children.
C．Parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong.
D．Children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked.

Growing up the daughter of an outstanding educator, Andrea Peterson knew at a young age that
she wanted to serve others. It was with this mindset that she started to take a degree in medicine. However ,while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.
In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized（復(fù)興） the music programs at both the
elementary and high school levels, to the extent that an additional music teacher was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county ,state ,and national music competitions, and won a lot of prizes for the district.
Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction—it serves as a vehicle to other areas .
"Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program ,where she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math ,and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.
One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes is the creation and performance of a musical, In the activity students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff, and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.
小題1:At the beginning, Andrea Peterson planned to work as a (n)       .
A．teacherB．doctorC．educatorD．musician
小題2:The 2nd paragraph mainly tells about     .
A．Andrea Peterson’s life at Granite Falls
B．county, state and national music competitions

D．Andrea Peterson’s contributions to Granite Falls’ music programs
小題3:Which of the following is NOT a benefit the students get from Andrea Peterson’s class?
A．Music talent development.B．Increased self-confidence.

It happened one morning 20 years ago. A British scientist Alec Jeffrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patterns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual. His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law. But the professor of genetics at the University of Leicester, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world.
The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern. The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict(證明…有罪) murderers and to clear people who are wrongly accused. It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child.
Jeffrey said he and his colleagues made the discovery by accident while tracking genetic variations(變異). But, within six months of the discovery, genetic fingerprinting had been used in an immigration case, to prove that an African boy really was his parents’ son.·In 1986, it was used for the first time in a British criminal case: It cleared one suspect after being accused of two murders and helped convict another man.
DNA testing is now very common. In Britain, a national criminal database established in 1995 now contains 2.5 million DNA samples. The U.S. and Canada are developing similar systems. But there are fears about the stored DNA samples and how they could be used to harm a person’s privacy. That includes a person’s medical history, racial origin or psychological profile. “There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a person’s paternity(父子關(guān)系) or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said.
DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity. Still, it is considered a reasonably reliable system for determining the things it is used for. Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals’ DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion.
小題1:According to the text, DNA testing can NOT be used in _______ .
A．doing criminal investigationsB．deciding faraily law
C．clearmg wrongly accused people D．telling twins apart
小題2:DNA samples are not popular with all the people because _______ .
A．the government in Britain establishes a criminal database
B．the US and Canada develop similar systems
C．DNA samples can be used to harm a person’s privacy
D．DNA testing is too expensive and dangerous now
小題3:Where will you most probably find this article?
A．In a guidebook. B．In a storybook.
C．In a science fiction. D．In a scientific magazine.
小題4:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Discovery of DNA testing by JefferyB．Practice of DNA testing in court
C．DNA testing in the present situationD．Benefits and side effects of DNA testing

By 2050
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.
Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.
Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there is equipment that connects directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.
Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones(克隆) of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?
小題1:
According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.
A．reading newspapers on a computer

A．there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050
B．few diseases will attack people by 2050
C．equipment is connected directly to the brain to help people hear today
D．medical technology will be more effective by 2050
