【題目】閱讀理解。

To most people, noise pollution is a jet flying over their heads. For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial, Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn't admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.

On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn't even stand seeing them in a film.

Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.

She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels (分貝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.

The court hasn't made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.

Life in 2060

Let us suppose it is now about A．D. 2060. Let's make believe (假裝；虛構(gòu)) it is about 45 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are airconditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (繼承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

【1】When was the passage written?

A．In about A．D. 2060. B．In about 1960.

C．In about 2014. D．In about 2015.

【2】According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A．D. 2060?

A．Many other animals. B．Many tourists.

C．Many plants. D．A sea.

【3】What will people eat then according to the passage?

A．Biscuits in pill form. B．Foods in pill form.

C．Foods in water form. D．Foods in gas form.

【4】The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.

A．the crops are getting better

B．there are more pests

C．there are fewer people

D．there is less water

【題目】Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.

Charter schools are self governing. Certain 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 that govern traditional public schools. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.

The government strongly supports charter schools as a way to reorganize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education unions are against charter schools. One teachers' union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.

The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.

Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress .

【1】If a company wants to operate a charter school, it must ________.

A. try new methods of teaching

B. get the government's permission

C. obey the local and state laws

D. prove its management ability

【2】What's the government's attitude toward charter schools?

A. Doubtful. B. Unclear.

C. Satisfied. D. Supportive.

【3】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.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A. Charter schools in America B. Public schools in America

C. The government in America D. Education in America

【題目】語法填空。

As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope 【1】 (tie) to their front leg. No chains, no cages. 【2】_was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break 【3】from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt 【4】 (get) away. “Well，”_【5】 trainer said, “when they are very young and much 【6】 (small), we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe the rope 【7】 still hold them, so they never try to run free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but _【8】 they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life 【9】 (hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something, 【10】 (simple) because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.
