12．After decades of skimpy（小而暴露的）skirts and sleeveless tops on game days，some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class．
In Lake County，F(xiàn)lorida，cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops，according to a district memo．Principals at two of Lake's eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all．
Michelle Thomas，a cheerleader at Leesburg High School，was disappointed when she learned she couldn't wear her outfit to school on game days．
"It shows that we're a team just like all the other sports．"She said．
But the school administrators didn't agree．"During the educational portion of the day，they have to meet the dress code just like every other student，"said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender，who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code．
Bare midriffs（露腰裝） are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association，but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts．Sheila Noone，a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands，says the outfits haven't become more revealing over the last 10 years．She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick．
"Cheerleading is athletic，"Noone said．"There's a lot of jumping so you won't want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch．"
Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news，but say they'll follow the rules．Even male cheerleaders，whose pants and tops meet dress codes，chose not to wear their outfits to show unity．
"I understand，because they are kind of short，"said Holly Bishop，14，a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader，about her miniskirt．"It would've been really，really cool to wear them to school．"
66．According to the new dress codes for cheerleaders in some American schools，D．
A．bare midriffs are banned
B．cheerleading miniskirts are banned
C．cheerleader uniforms have switched from skirts to trousers
D．cheerleaders have to make their uniforms less revealing．
67．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？A
A．School administrators believe cheerleader uniforms do not match school dress codes．
B．Most cheerleaders show understanding of the new dress codes．
C．Sheila Noone believes that cheerleading miniskirts are not revealing．
D．School administrators don't take cheerleading seriously．
68．Some cheerleaders are not happy about the news becauseB．
A．they hate the dress codes that other sports have 
B．they consider their uniforms special and cool
C．they want to wear revealing clothes
D．they will have to buy new uniforms
69．What is the main point of the article？D
A．Stricter dress codes for cheerleaders meet opposition．
B．Positive reactions to stricter dress codes for cheerleaders
C．American schools encourage unity in dress codes．
D．Changes in dress codes for cheerleaders in American high schools．
70．What does the underlined word"hamper"in paragraph 7 mean？C
A．protect      B．miss    C．prevent    D．help．

分析 文章主要介紹了美國部分高中對于學生啦啦隊服裝的要求發(fā)生了改變，即禁止學生穿著暴露的啦啦隊服裝進課堂．

解答 DABDC
66：D 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二行的to wear long shorts or trousers…和第四段第三行的says the outfits haven't become more revealing over the last 10 years可知，拉拉隊長的服裝規(guī)范變得更嚴了．故選D．
67：A 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news…可知，大部分學生對新規(guī)不理解，B錯；Noone表示拉拉隊服符合加油所需，而不是說拉拉隊服太暴露，C錯；D項說學校對拉拉隊不夠重視，是錯誤的．根據(jù)第五段But the school administrators did not agree…可知，學校管理層認為拉拉隊長應該和其他學生一樣，遵守校服規(guī)范．故選A．
68：B 根據(jù)最后一段的about her miniskirt．"It would have been really，really cool to wear them to school可知，拉拉隊長認為穿拉拉隊隊服去學校很酷，很與眾不同．故選B．
69．D 綜觀全文，文章主要介紹了美國部分高中對于學生啦啦隊服裝的要求發(fā)生了改變，即禁止學生穿著暴露的啦啦隊服裝進課堂．故答案為D
70．C 詞義猜測題 根據(jù)There's a lot of jumping so you won't want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch．"可知，此處hamper的意思是妨礙，阻礙，故答案為C

20．An American educational expert，F(xiàn)rederick M．Hess says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world．
    This summer，50 million kids will spend much time talking online，watching TV，plsying video games and asking older brothers or sisters to take them to the supermarket．They will also be putting their academic futures at risk．
    During much of the 20th century，many Americans worked in factories that did not need a college degree but still offered a high salary．Also，in the 19th century，there was no air condition．And poor hygiene（衛(wèi)生）meant that crowded schools had health risks．
    Things have changed．For today's students，academic skills are key to future success..many nations don't give kids an American-style summer vacation．They offer no more than seven consecutive（連續(xù)的）weeks of vacation．Most American school districts offer up to 13 weeks．To compete in global marketplace，Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors．
    Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families．In the 1960s，more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home mum．Now，two-thirds of American children live families where every adult works．For these families，summer vacation can be more burden than break．Someone must watch the kids．
    But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement．Scientist have found that disadvantaged students lose important ground in the summertime．
    A school year can allow time-limited teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons．Schools would have more time for sports，languages，music and the arts．

64．Before the 20th century，a long summer vacation mightC．
    A．cause career failure for Americans   B．reduce income for Americans
    C．reduce health risks for students     D．cause loss in global market for America
65．We can know that an American-style summer vacationC．
    A．lasts no more than two months    B．lasts less than three months
    C．lasts as long as three months    D．lasts as long as four months
66．According to the text，who will benefit from a long school year？A
    A．American students，teachers and parents．
    B．American students，parents and shop owners．
    C．American students，parents and international competitors．
    D．American students，teachers and international competitors．
67．How many reasons did the writer give to support his/her opinion？D

7．An African-born British scientist received an environment research prize for show-ing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants．Lucy King's work proved that beehive（峰房）"fences"can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields．The animals are scared of bees，which can bite them inside their long noses，and flee when they hear buzzing（蜂鳴聲）．
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge，while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations．Working in Kenya，Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees．Afterwards，they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger．They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence，keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food．
 A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them，disturbing the bees．Later，the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts--who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey．
As Africa's population grows，competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious，and there are fatalities on both sides．The same is true in parts of Asia．Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict．
Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa--and perhaps，eventually，in Asia．

61．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the same asC
A．intelligent solution to an age-old challenge．
B．confirmation of the importance of bees to people
C．competition for space between people and elephants    
D．way of preserving the world's largest land animal
62．Which of the following orders of events correctly shows how Dr King's project works？B
①Beehive fences are built around a Farm．
②Elephants hear the buzzing and run away．
③Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives．
④Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences．
A．①→②→③→④B．①→④→③→②
C．④→③→②→①D．①→②→④→③
63．Dr King's solution is described as"intelligent"becauseD．
A．it successfully keeps elephants out of African farmers'fields
B．the fences Were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts
C．more than 90% of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees
D．it protects crops．produces honey and preserves the dephant at the same time
64．The underlined word"fatalities"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA．
A deaths    B．communities    C．population    D．fences
65．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Dr king was born in Britain．
B．Most elephants scare bees．
C．The technique has proved to work well in Asia，too．
D．Conflicts between people and elephants are rather serious．

4．TOKYO-Lonely astronauts on the International Space Station （ISS） may soon be getting a robot friend from Japan．
Japan's space agency is considering putting a talking humanoid （有人的特點的） robot on the ISS to watch the work while astronauts are asleep，monitor their health and stress levels and communicate to Earth through the micro-blogging site Twitter．
Japan's space agency JAXA announced this week that it is looking at a plan to send a humanoid robot to the space station in 2013 that could communicate with the ground through Twitter-primarily feeding photos，rather than original ideas-and provide astronauts with"comfort and companionship"．
Following up on US NASA's"Robonaut"R-2 program，which is set for launch on the Discovery shuttle next week，the Japanese robot would be part of a larger effort to create and refine robots that can be used by the elderly，JAXA said in a statement．
Japan is one of the leading countries in robotics and has a rapidly aging society with one of the world's longest life expectancies．
Improving robot communication capabilities could help elderly people on Earth by providing a nonintrusive （無干擾的） means of monitoring the robot owner's health and vital signs and sending information to emergency responders if there is an abnormality，JAXA said．
"We are thinking in terms of a very human-like robot that would have facial expressions and be able to talk with the astronauts，"said JAXA's Satoshi Sano．
The robot was being developed with the advertising and communications giant Dentsu Inc and a team at Tokyo University．
The NASA project has a human-like head，hands and arms and uses the same tools as station crew members．The"Robonaut"called R-2 is intended to carry out maintenance tasks in the station's Destiny lab．
NASA says it hopes that humanoid robots could one day stand in for astronauts during spacewalks or perform tasks too difficult or dangerous for humans．
For now，the﹩2.5 million NASA robot is limited to activities within the lab．

60．According to the passage，a humanoid robot，put on the ISS，shall carry out the tasks exceptD．
A．take care of the ISS sometimes 
B．keep an eye on the health of the astronauts
C．keep in contact with Earth
D．get a friend for astronauts from Japan
61．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage？A
A．The robot program will eventually benefit the elderly．
B．R-2 program is in the charge of Japan's JAXA．
C．NASA is planning to communicate with the space station through Twitter．
D．Japan has the largest number of elderly people．
62．From the passage we can knowB．
A．many Japanese universities joined in the robot program
B．future astronauts will become less lonely and more comfortable with the help of the robot
C．robots could completely take the place of human astronauts in the future
D．the robot program，having cost﹩2.5 million，can carry out all tasks．
