Last year my sixth-grader daughter ,Elizabeth ,was forced to put up with science .Her education week after week ,contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte” She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fu-sion（核聚變） “—never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means .Eliza—beth did very well (she’s good at memorizing things ). And now she hates science .My eighth-grad-er son ,Ben ,also suffered from science education . Week after week he had to perform lab experiments with answers already known .Ben figured out how to guess the right answers ,so he got good grades .Now he hates science ,too.

       Science can provide an exciting way to develop children’s curiosity .Science education should teach ways to ask questions and week answers .But my children got the mistaken idea in school than science is difficult dull and has no relation to their everyday interests .

       As a physicist ,I am saddened and angered to see “the great science turnoff” I know that science is important in our lives .Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science .What’s gone wrong ?Who is to blame ?

58．We learn from paragraph 1 that           .

A．the writer was proud of Elizabeth and Ben

B．both Elizabeth and Ben could become scientists

C．Elizabeth had to learn much about great scientists

D．Ben was good at trying new ideas in lab experiments

59．The writer thinks that in science education we should first        .

A．get students interested in the subject

B．a(chǎn)nswer students’ questions in delightful ways.

C．smooth out difficulties in lab experiments

D．explain the special terms clearly

60．By writing the text ,the author questions          .

A．the difficulty level of the science texts

B．the way science is taught in school

C．the achievements of famous scientists

D．students’ poor records in science classes

答案  58.B  59.D  60.A

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.

One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘)

My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

41． Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

       A．A childhood Dream.

       A．she could take care of things herself

B．she hoped she would find a boyfriend

       C．she wanted her to be happy and strong

D．she thought education was most important

B．One of the writer’s neighbors.

       C．One of the writer’s classmates.            

D．The writer’s mother.

 MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border(邊界)to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security(安全)rules.
 The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the

Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
    There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
    As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海關(guān))station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally(非法).
    Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home tountry whrough another border checkpoint.
    Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.
59. We learn from the text that Richard Albert is ______.
A. an American living in Township 15
B. a Canadixacan living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station
D. an American working in a Canadian church
60. Albert was fined because he ______.
A. failed to obey traffic rules
B. broke the American security rules
C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D. damaged the gate of the customs office
61. The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means  ______.
A. a drive through the town
B. a race across the fields
C. a roundabout way of traveling
D. a journey in the mountain area
62. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Cross-country Trip
B. A Special Border Pass
C. An Unguarded Border
D. An Expensive Church Visit
