Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2  that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was what I 5.       
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(協(xié)調(diào)人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 8 out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 9this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(誘惑) to 10my native language, I asked not to be 11with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 13 .      
I left France with many 14 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 15 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends16 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 17 seem so different, but end up being so18 The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people 19to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Last spring, members of Alaska’s Troop 34, based in Fairbanks, trudged (跋涉) out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state’s Take a Kid Trapping program. In many parts of the state, beavers (海貍)are pests and need to be controlled.
The 10-to-12-year-old girls found out where beavers lived, set traps, and skinned the two animals they caught. The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur. They also want to cook beaver meat.
Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state’s beaver population. But animal-rights activists say trapping is cruel. They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks.
Beavers aren’t only causing a problem in Alaska. Residents in Sampson County, N.C. , have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there.
County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than $ 50,000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program. The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass  they trapped.
Many local residents say that the program didn’t work because there were too few trappers. That’s why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area’s beaver population.
The county will rely on its own beaver-trapping program. It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas. The county will pay $10 for every beaver carcass.
Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance? For beavers to survive, they need lots of water. Water provides the large rodent (嚙齒動(dòng)物)with a place to hide from meat – eating animals. Beavers also store food underwater for the winter. When there’s not enough water in a particular area, beavers get busy building dams.
Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects. Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects.
59.What is Alaska’s Troop 34?
A.A team of the Boy Scouts.     B.An army.
C.A team of the Girl Scouts.     D.A sports team.
60.Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers?
A.To fulfill their task.        B.To sell them for money.
C.To get enough fur.   D.To exchange them for mittens and hats.
61.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there.
B.The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success.
C.The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County.
D.More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County.
62.Local residents hate beavers because they can ___________.
A.cause damage to dams
B.block up canals with heavy objects.
C.do great harm to construction projects.
D.badly damage the environment and cause floods.

Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.
The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes— they are failing because the “ academic” classes are not sufficient.
It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art— there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge — certainly not a good preparation for the real world.
【小題1】Music and drama are not included in the high-school curriculum mainly because________.

A.the school committee pays no attention to them
B.the school is afraid of losing financial support
C.the students are not interested in both of them
D.the state standardized test is more important.
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test
B.students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons
C.The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts
D.Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’s school system.
【小題3】We can learn that music and art can ________.
A.make students round-shaped people in future
B.provide students with analytical thinking
C.motivate students in creativity and expression
D.prevent students graduating from high school
【小題4】The best title of the passage can be ________.
A.Who Killed Music and Drama?
B.Can Curriculum Go Without Music?
C.Why is Music So Important?
D.How To Prepare For the Real World?

Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate (失業(yè)率) to 7.6 percent. But not all of those fired workers are sitting at home, reading the job advertisements and waiting for the phone to ring. Thousands of people are returning to school, making public colleges and universities among the few bright places in the disappointing US economy.
At a time when many Americans have had their work hours cut or have even lost their jobs, Sherian Huddleston is working overtime. She works at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) where she oversees (監(jiān)督) the enrollment (注冊(cè)) of new students. The university’s population grew by 800 students this term —an increase of 4 percent over last spring’s enrollment. Huddleston says seeing the enrollment rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of work," she points out, "they will ask 'What else can I do?’ or 'What other careers can I follow?’ They will often return to school if they have not completed a degree before."
Older returning students aren’t the only ones increasing the enrollment at MTSU. Huddleston says she’s also seeing an increase in student transfers (轉(zhuǎn)移). "Students who went out of state, or even within the state, to more expensive schools are transferring to public schools to make use of the lower cost of going to school here," she explains.
【小題1】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.The Falling American Economy
B.College Enrollment up in a Down Economy
C.Colleges Have More Students Than Before
D.Going to College Is No Longer Difficult
【小題2】According to the passage, many students return to school ______.
A.to make more moneyB.to read job advertisements
C.to complete a degreeD.to ask their schoolmates for help
【小題3】Many students are transferring to public schools mainly because ______.
A.public schools provide better education
B.public schools offer better jobs to their students
C.they don’t want to be influenced by the falling economy
D.the cost of public schools is lower and they can save money
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE about Sherian Huddleston?
A.She is working more hours than before because of the worsening economy.
B.She is a student of Middle Tennessee State University.
C.She disagrees with those who are returning to school.
D.She is surprised to see the enrollment go up.

Many Chinese kids, known as "left-behind" children, hardly ever see their parents, because their parents are migrant workers.

      Li Ling, 11, is a left-behind child. Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years, while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong. She was reunited with her parents last Spring Festival. As the number of migrant workers in China increases, the number of left-behind children is rising fast. Li is one of the 61. 02 million left-behind children under 17. They account for 37. 7 percent of rural children and 21. 88 percent of all Chinese children

     The large number of left-behind children has already become a social issue. If left unsolved, it will cause serious problems, Wang Zhenyao, director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute, told China Daily. The education level of adults supervising(監(jiān)管) these children is generally not that high. They can only take care of the children's personal safety and daily living, being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs. Meanwhile, the absence of parental support will make some left-behind children lack self-confidence. They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers. Others may even become "problem youths".

     To solve this problem, the government is taking action. For instance, 30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are. However, Wang suggested that the country do more, such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns. He also said that a well-balanced child welfare system is needed. "These children are the future of the nation, so they deserve our loving care and protection," Wang said.

1.Left-behind kids hardly see their parents because _______.

A. they are poor and in rural areas

B. they are brought up by their grandparents

C. their parents are making a living in other cities

D. their parents don't go back home on Spring Festival

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Li Ling hasn't seen her parents for about 10 years.

B. Left-behind children have become problem youths.

C. There are 61. 02 million left-behind children in China.

D. Much remains to be done to settle the left-behind kids issue.

3.The purpose of the passage is _______.

A. to criticize the migrant workers who leave their children at home

B. to focus on the present situation of the left-behind children

C. to worry about the present situation of left-behind children

D. to call on the government to educate the migrant workers

4.In which column of a newspaper can we most probably find this passage?

A. Education.   B. Society.       C. Entertainment.     D. Employment.

I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 71  It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.

72  In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.

I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 73  I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.

This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.

74  He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.

75  Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.

A.I couldn’t help but wonder.

B.All of them went away at once.

C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.

D.Everybody became angry with the old man.

E.But no one knew what they could or should do.

F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.

G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.
