17．The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France．Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year．January is the only quiet month nowadays．As well as summer holiday-makers，there are day trippers and coach traffic，not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles．Some ferries carry cars and their passengers，while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network．
The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind．The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day．Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station．
Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon，according to one ferryboat captain．The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic．This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe．There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time，and they all pass through a"choke point"which is only fifteen miles （twenty-five kilometers） wide．The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic．
68．The passage is mainly concerned withC．
A．the English Channel                 
B．the weather on the Channel
C．cross-channel ferries                   
D．what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
69．The word hazard is closest in meaning toB．
A．trouble              B．danger           C．enemy            D．problem
70．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．if there is a gale warning from the BBC，the ferries will stop operating．
B．the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
C．ferries are busiest in the afternoon
D．the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day
71．Where does this passage most probably appear？C
A．In a dictionary．
B．In a novel．
C．In a transportation magazine．
D．In a geography textbook．

分析 這是一篇說明文．作者介紹了英吉利海峽之間的輪渡．

解答 CBAC
68．C   主旨大意題．本文主要介紹了英吉利海峽之間的輪渡，因此C為正確答案．
69  B   詞義猜測題．從后一句"The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day． Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station"中的warning判斷，harzard表示"危險"．所以選B．
70   A  推理判斷題．從warning 可推斷是有危險，輪渡當然要停止工作；根據(jù)第一段"Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year． January is the only quiet month nowadays．"可知B錯誤；選項C文章沒有提到；選項D文章中有明確的表述，不能作為推理題的答案．
71  C   主旨大意題．文章主要介紹了英吉利海峽的輪渡．和交通運輸有關，所以選擇C．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

2．Americans are thinking about national education standards recen1y developed by teachers and other education experts．The National Governors Association （NGA） and the Council of Chief State School Officers （CCSSO） led the effort．
The United States，unlike other nations，has never had the same school standards across the country．What is the reason？Education is not discussed in the Consti1ution．That document limits the responsibilities of the federa1government．Other responsibilities，like education，fall to each state．
Loca1control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago．Peop1e stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn．But today，people move to different   cities．And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago．
Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live．They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student sores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act．
Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO．She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work．
Forty--eight states have a1ready shown approval for the standards．Two states refuse to accept the idea．Critics（批評家） say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee（保證） excellence for all．Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards wi11hurt their students because the state standards are even higher．Others say the change will be too costly，requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers．Still others fear federal control．
Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach．They also say the federal government is not forcing accep1ance．However，approving the standards will help states qua1ify（合格） for some federal grant money．

60．What would be the best title for the passage？B
A．Local Control of Education Standards out of Date
B．American National Education Standards under Consideration
C．Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad．
D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States
61．Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today？C
A．Because local standards are limited．
B．Because it is required by the federal government．
C．Because people today moves among states more often than before．
D．Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country．
62．Some people are against the nationa1education standards becauseC
A．the standards are higher than those of each state
B．they are not yet prepared for the new standards
C．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence
D．they don't want the federal government to train their teachers
63．If a state agrees to accept the national standards，it will probab1y getD．
A．more students  
B．a(chǎn)dvice on how to improve teaching 
C．better textbooks 
D．money from the federal government．

"Climate change woes are our shared challenges but the root lies in the historical emissions by the developed countries，"said Zeng，as president of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges，which organized the weekend climate change summit．
Zeng expected the forum to work as a platform for different countries to communicate their positions freely before the Bonn climate change negotiation in June and the Cancun conference at the end of this year．

D．We ought to cooperate to control the climate．

B．Because the developing countries have not set any goal of slowing down climate change．
C．Because there are mounting uncertainties ahead for the climate change negotiations．
D．Because agreements were already made at the Copenhagen Summit last December．
