For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example. They want the city to draw special lanes for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow the traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park-the largest place of open ground in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
小题1:In New York, a group of bike riders ________.
| A．are keeping practicing for health |
| B．have no cars of their own |

| A．they will make cars and buses run slowly |
| B．they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks |
| C．they will make the city more beautiful |
| D．the lanes will prevent accidents |
| A．so that everyone is disappointed |
| B．because there are different opinions |
| C．because most people travel by train |
| D．because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough |
| A．so that Bike for a Better City is pleased |

For this project, the students began in class by closing their eyes and trying to return to their childhood years in order to bring early memories to their mind. After imagining for a few minutes, they began to tell each other what they remembered about those years and tried to describe a particular incident that stood out in their memories.
That evening they wrote in their journals about the incident, embellishing (润饰) the story as much as possible. The next day, they read the story to a different partner and got feedback (反馈意见). The partner’s job was to: ask more questions to bring back the writer’s memory; help the writer make sure that past tense verbs were used correctly, focusing on the difference between those things that were still true and needed present tense and those things that belonged specifically to the past. Two days later, students made necessary changes or additions and turned in a typed copy of their story. I then made my own comments about their work and asked them to revise their work. The third draft (稿子) produced some very good work.
小题1:The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
| A．show readers the difficulty he had in his work |

f. corrected by the teacher
g. recall their stories
| A．g-b-c-a-d-e-f | B．g-c-a-d-b-f-e |
| C．e-f-b-c-a-g-d | D．d-e-f-g-a-c-b |
| A．make the memory more complete |

Besides, it is rather unusual to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. And advanced pupil can do advanced work. It doesn’t matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to obtain this goal.
小题1:By “held back” (the underlined part of the first sentence) the author means “______”.
| A．drawn to their studies | B．prevented from advancing |
| C．made to remain in the same class | D．forced to study in the lower class |
| A．total personality | B．intellectual ability |
| C．personal qualities | D．communicative skills |
| A．Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities. |
| B．Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities. |
| C．Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others. |
| D．Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be good organizers. |
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:
“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”
Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?
“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it ?
The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”
And , from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.
And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.
小题1:From Paragraph 2, we can know that______ .
| A．people got tired of living in the same place |
| B．people gradually got used to living in cities |
| C．people tended to settle down after learning farming |
| D．people spent a long time in learning to keep animals |
| A．shocking | B．ridiculous | C．puzzling | D．reasonable |
| A．People eat young fish for its delicious taste. |
| B．Foresters leave the place where wood is not available. |
| C．Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left. |
| D．People use recycled materials as much as possible. |
| A．mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about |
| B．it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way |
| C．it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind |
| D．in the beginning men were nomads. |
Jiu-jitsu, as judo is sometimes called, means "muscle science" in Japanese. The student of judo needs to learn a lot about the body, its bones and muscles. Judo uses a number of "falls", "holds" and "throws". Someone who does not know judo cannot defend himself against them. If you know judo you can defend yourself against a person who is stronger than you. You had better not practice judo on your friends unless they can fall without hurting themselves! Being strong is one thing, but using the body wisely is another. In judo, you use the other person"s body to help you. You "throw" him to the ground and "hold" him there, so that he cannot move. Of course, it takes time and practice, but knowing judo is useful. In a violent world you ought to be able to defend yourself.
小题1:According to passage, in fact "judo" is ______.
| A．the same as "Jiu-jitsu" | B．a kind of fighting |
| C． a kind of muscle science | D．is helpful to a strong man |
| A． The number of violence and crime is increasing every year. |
| B．Because many people carry guns. |
| C．Because there too many films. |
| D．Because people are not able to defend themselves. |
| A．The woman held the man over her head. |
| B．The woman was heavier than the man. |
| C．The woman was able to defend herself. |
| D．The woman attacked the man from behind. |
| A．will be good at muscle science. |
| B．will be able to avoid being attacked from his back. |
| C．may defeat any strong person. |
| D．can help himself by using the other person"s body |
| A．How to defend oneself | B．Violence in films |
| C．How to practise judo | D．Something about judo |
Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.
To their surprise, though, the insects weren"t passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.
Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn"t always go with the flow. If breezes weren"t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(补偿, 弥补). Many migrating birds do the same thing.
The study also found that butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help farmers decide when to spray their crops.
小题1:What"s the main idea of the text?
| A．Insects migrate with the seasons. |
| B．The wind helps insects greatly in migrating. |
| C．Windsurfing insects have real direction. |
| D．Scientists have trouble in observing insects. |
| A．insects always waited for their favorable winds |
| B．insects chose the winds they wanted to ride |
| C．insects were just blown about by the wind |
| D．insects positioned themselves in the winds |
| A．the little creatures can fly very fast |
| B．their flight is long and high above ground |
| C．the wind"s direction is hard to forecast |
| D．they have no regular migrating courses |
| A．increase insects in number |
| B．instruct farmers when to spray their crops |
| C．prevent climate warming |
| D．help protect insects |
