16.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.

51.If a private company wants to operate a charter school,it mustC.
A.try new methods of teaching
B.prove its management ability
C.get the government's permission
D.obey the local and state laws
52.Charter schools are independent becauseB.
A.they make greater progress
B.they enjoy more freedom
C.their class size is smaller
D.they oppose traditional ways
53.What's the government's attitude toward charter schools?D
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.  
C.Subjective.  
D.Supportive.
54.What can we learn from the text?A
A.People have different opinions about charter schools.
B.Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C.Students in charter schools are well educated.
D.More students choose to attend charter schools.
55.It can be interred from the text thatD.
A.charter schools are all privately financed
B.one-on-one attention should be paid to students
C.the number of charter schools will be limited
D.charter schools are part of the public education system.

17.As the population of the planet increases,so does the number of homes,businesses,parking lots,schools,airports and roadways.All these structures require electricity to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and streets safe.The problem is that researchers have found that all this light has a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well,so please take care.
Less than 10 years ago I drove to a less populated section of my town,lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower(流星雨).The area was short of buildings and street lights.If I did that today,I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower,but I would be surely run over by a car.
Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as CO2 Pollution.If you have ever taken a flight at night,you must remember the view of colored lights all around--it's beautiful but wasteful.How extensive this phenomenon is around the world!
Additionally,electricity needs to be created,and the process of creating that electricity will cause pollution by giving off greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
Apart from humans,it has been proved that wildlife is also suffering from light pollution.Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lit buildings,as they are confused which direction they should go in by the light.It has been long known that tiny sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
Fortunately,light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.We should not only pay more attention to light pollution,but also reduce light pollution by avoiding using unnecessary lighting.
56.The story given in Paragraph 2 is toD.
    A.describe the past beauty of the town
    B.show the advantage of a smaller population
    C.a(chǎn)nalyze the changes of lights in town
    D.prove the disadvantage of light pollution
57.The birds and tiny sea turtles die or get lost,becauseD.
    A.they are unable to see clearly at night
    B.their eyes are destroyed by right light
    C.electric lights prevent them from heading
    D.the light created by people misleads them
58.What would be the best title for the passage?B
    A.The Causes of Lights                B.Take care of Light pollution
    C.Ways of Reducing Light Pollution      D.The New Finding on Light.

4.Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay,Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere.But polar bears like it that way.They spend summers on the tundra (苔原) around Churchill.In the fall,they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form.Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals--their favorite food.October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times.From tundra vehicles,visitors to Churchill observe the bears.Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities.Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears'migration route to view the vigorous creatures.These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements.
Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year,there is growing concern about the animals'future.Because the earth is getting warmer,the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring.As a result,polar bears have less time to hunt for seals.Polar bears can also find smaller animals,bird eggs and berries on land,but this kind of food is not sufficient to support the animals.
Polar bears are also affected by plastic and chemicals that get into the ocean.A research project carried out in northern Europe has found high concentrations of both plastic and chemicals in the tissue of polar bears.These materials and substances can damage the animals'internal organs,especially when the animals are not yet mature.Many people are researching polar bear health.Their goal is to gather the information that is needed to help save these animals.

66.What does this article imply about Churchill?A
A.It's located in a very remote area.
B.It's attracting fewer tourists now.
C.It's surrounded by smaller towns.
D.It's dependent on the oil industry.
67.What does this article explain about polar bears?B
A.The ways in which they threaten people
B.The most important elements of their diets
C.The mating behavior that they exhibit
D.The time of year when they give birth
68.How is the polar bears'seal winter hunting season changing?D
A.It's starting earlier.
B.It's becoming colder.
C.It's finishing later.
D.It's getting shorter.
69.What can we learn about polar bears from this article?C
A.How they avoid traffic accidents
B.How they learn good habits from one another
C.How they're endangered by pollution
D.How they find a hiding place during bad weather.

8.Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell.Recent studies have found,among other things,that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.
The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain.According to Conrad King,the researcher who carried out the review,"more than any other senses,the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings.This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter."
Smell,which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes,has always been the least understood of our senses.Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000distinct smells.Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000genes (基因),which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome.Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense.These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000olfactory (嗅覺) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.
According to one study in the research review,smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users.They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads.The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry,and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.
In contrast,the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers'impatience.Similarly,the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.
However,the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person.A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others.They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them.The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.

63.What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?C
A.The category of food smells.
B.The logical part of human brain.
C.The nature of human olfactory system.
D.The relationship between food and feelings.
64.Which of the following can help people concentrate?C
A.Bread.  B.Fruits.  C.Coffee.  D.Fast food.
65.What do we know from the last paragraph?C
A.Some people can recognize up to 50smells.
B.Every person has a different pattern of genes.
C.Different people are sensitive to different smells.
D.There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.
66.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.Logic and behaviour.
B.Smell and its influence.
C.Sense ability and food tastes.
D.Olfactory genes and its system.
