Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

 “My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy,” says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more.

The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,” says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected “official” and “planning group” makes all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”

CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards.

65. The Program is designed to __________.

A. direct kids to build solar collectors   

B. train young scientists for city planning

C. develop children's problem-solving abilities   

D. train kids to be future architects 

66. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ___________.

A. find out kids' creative ideas                           B. discuss with the teacher

C. give children lectures                                    D. help kids with their program

67. Who is the designer of the program?

A. An official.              B. An architect.             C. A teacher.                 D. A scientist.

68. The children feel free in the program because they _____________.

A. can design future buildings themselves           B. have new ideas and rich imagination

C. are given enough time to design models          D. need not worry about making mistakes

Some schools that are not year-round often have summer programs. In many cases, students take summer classes to repeat a subject they failed. This way they get a second chance to succeed. But schools also offer summer classes to students who want to be free of a required class during the next school year.

    Generally, students in these classes want to take fewer subjects during the year because they are involved in a lot of activities. They might be involved in sports or music programs. Or both – and more.

    These summer school students do the same amount of work as if they took the class during the school year. But they do it in a much shorter time, one or two months. They say it makes for a lot of reading and homework and not much time for anything else. Some education experts are worried about high school students who take summer school because of pressure to attend a top university.

     The New York Times recently reported about summer classes at one of the best high schools in the United States. New Trier High School is in Winnetka, Illinois. Almost six hundred students are in school this summer. Only twenty are repeating classes that they failed. The others are in difficult courses like physics and history.

     The students say taking classes like these in the summer means that they can take even more difficult classes next year. They say this shows not only that they are serious about their studies but that they have experienced the most difficult high school program.

     Another place with a lot of students in summer school is Palo Alto, California. The Mercury News reported that about twenty percent of the students in the city schools are in class this summer. That is more than two thousand teenagers.

     A third are in classes they failed before. The others are taking subjects they do not have time for during the normal school year.

     But they are not taking subjects like physics and history. The students in Palo Alto are in classes like creative writing, film studies, literature and cooking.

63. This passage mainly talks about ______.

     A. summer classes in American schools

     B. why American schools offer summer classes

     C. the advantages of American summer school

     D. experts’ anxiety(擔(dān)憂)about American summer school

64. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the students’ attending summer classes in America?

A.Repeating a subject.           

B.Completing a required subject ahead of time.

C.Improving their physical quality     

D.Learning some special skills

65. What’s the biggest difference between the summer classes in New Trier High School and in Palo Alto?

A.There are more students attending classes that they failed before in Palo Alto.

B.Some students in Palo Alto learn some special skills instead of taking physics and history.

C.Some students in Palo Alto take some subjects so that they can join in sports or music programs later.

D.The students’ attitude towards studies in Palo Alto is worse than that in New Trier High School.

66. What can we infer from the passage?

A.American students in schools don’t have any pressure to attend top universities.

B.Summer school students don’t do the same amount of work as they do during the school year.

C. American students attend summer schools in order to relax themselves very much.

D. American students in high schools face great pressure to attend top universities.

第II卷(共45分)

  第四部分：書面表達(dá)(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)

  第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(dá)(共0． 5小題．每小題3分，滿分15分)

  閱讀下面的短文，請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)

Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted（萌芽） in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese（極肥胖的）.

Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China's citizens and economy. "We're seeing a very large proportion（比例） of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren't moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China's childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban(城市的) areas. "In big cities it's a big problem." 

Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China's rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. __________, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary(久坐的) today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.

Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids' food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.

China's childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.
