阅读理解。　　About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in
school buildings.
　　Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education by working
at home on computers. The center for Education Reform says the United States
has 67 public “cyberschools(网络学校)” and that is about twice as many as
two years ago.
　　The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments
of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money
that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to
know if students are learning well.
　　Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work
at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were
unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by
computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
　　Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more
popular. For example, a new cyberschools called Commonwealth Connections
Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of
Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
　　Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a
computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with
teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when
necessary.
　　Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such
students finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently
met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.1. What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschools?A. They have to take long bus rides to school.
B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C. They receive money from traditional public schools.
D. They do well in traditional school programs.2. What is a problem with cyberschools?A. Their equipment costs a lot of money.

C. It is hard to know students" progress in learning.
D. The students find it hard to make friends.3. Cyberschools are getting popular because _____. A. they are less expensive for students

阅读理解。　　My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single
parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he
pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he
had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In
this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even
begged him. Nothing worked.
　　One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for
help. "Please God, I can"t do anything more for my son. I"m at the end of my
rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
　　I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the
headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say
another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over
Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son, but I just
don"t know what to do. I"ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and
nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands. " For a moment there was silence on
the other and of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your
time",and hung up.
　　Karl"s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades.
Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I
attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were
surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said,
"Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was
me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how
much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud."1. Which of the following has the similar meaning as the underlined word "withdrawn" in the  first paragraph?A. preferred to stay alone at home
B. refused to go to school
C. refused to talk to others
D. began to dislike his mother2. There was silence on the other end of the line because _____.A. the caller was too moved to say anything to the mother
B. the caller waited for the mother to finish speaking
C. the caller didn"t want the mother to continue her talk
D. the caller was unable to help the mother3. Who was it that telephoned Karl"s mother that day?A. The headmaster.
B. The school adviser.
C. Karl himself.
D. The passage doesn’t tell us.4. From the passage we can learn that _____________.A. children in single parent families always have mental problems

阅读理解     The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with suburbs(郊区) to the north. Each day,
about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them
cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.
     Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters(经常往返者). These are the people who travel
under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will
never go by car again.
     The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable "Golden Gate". Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat.
In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar
while they are looking at San Francisco"s famous scene and the nearby hills.
     The trip only takes thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people
feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the "Golden Gate" have already got married.
     Because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan
for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. "A lot of
people don"t want to get the trip faster," said one commuter, "They feel that an hour is just enough to rest."1. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car is not pleasant because ________.A. it takes people 30 minutes
B. the Golden Gate Bridge is very long
C. the bridge is crowded with bikes, cars, buses and trucks all the time
D. most of the car owners can not enjoy the beauty of San Francisco2. In the future, ________.A. larger boats will be used to carry commutes
B. a big coffee shop will be built
C. more and more people will get married on the boat
D. people will all go to work by boat3. Many people don"t like the new idea for a high-speed boat because ________.A. they don"t want to go to work earlier
B. they like to stay on the boat
C. there will be more people on the boat
D. they won"t have enough time to rest
