“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer — “That’s not a problem here.” — Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics （统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
小题1:The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ______.
| A．to express the opinions of many parents |
| B．to choose a right one for their daughter |
| C．to check the cost of college education |
| D．to find a right one near a large city |
______.
| A．receive too many visitors | B．mirror the rest of the nation |
| C．hide the truth of campus crime | D．have too many watchdog groups |
| A．mind | B．admit | C．believe | D．expect |
refers to colleges ______.
| A．that are protected by campus security | B．that report campus crimes by law |
| C．that are free from campus crime | D．the enjoy very good publicity |
| A．Exact campus crime statistics. | B．Crimes on or around campuses. |
| C．Effective solutions to campus crime. | D．concerns about kids’ campus safety. |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:B
小题5:D
解析
小题1:本题考查理解细节信息的能力。由第一段中的最后一句话“…a campus where their daughter would be safe”判断可知，The Mahoneys 夫妇花很长时间考察了很多学校的目的主要是为女儿的安全考虑的。故正确答案为B。
小题2:本题考查理解细节信息的能力。由倒数第二段中的“…but some hold back for fear of bad publicity leaving the honest ones looking dangerous.”得知一些大学因为害怕毁了自己的公众形象，就故意隐瞒了一些事实。hold back 意为“隐瞒、保留……”。
小题3:本题考查根据上下文猜测词义的能力。根据第二段后面的“But when college officials always gave the same answer”—“That’s not a problem here.”和第三段中的“In 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses”可知，大学里的领导都说他们的大学里无犯罪，但在1999年美国教育部就公布了在大学内外就发生了近400,000起严重犯罪，两句内容前后矛盾，故猜出buy 的意思是believe (相信)。
小题4:本题考查根据文章细节进行推理判断的能力。根据倒数第二段中的“Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous”可得知，根据法律大学要上报发现在他们校园里的犯罪行为，但一些大学因为害怕自己的公众形象被毁，就故意隐瞒不报，只剩下了一些老老实实的大学把发生在自己的校园的犯罪上报。故正确答案为B。
小题5:本题考查概括主旨大意的能力。整篇文章都在围绕一个“concern”来写。从第二段的“The safely issue is a big one”和最后一段中的“…to help concerned parents”都可判断出正确答案为D。

If you are familiar with this 37 , you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and 38 when you are bored. Now scientists have 39 a reason why this is the case.
Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 40 according to how we focus on a task. When we are 41 , we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains 42 the clock is ticking more slowly.
In an experiment 43 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 44 researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to 45 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then 46 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that 47 was more active when the volunteers paid 48 subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is 49 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 50 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 51 , time passes without us really 52 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 53 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 54 , time seems to drag.
Next time you feel bored 55 , perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!

While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had 1 finding the keyhole. When I 2 to open the door, I 3 around the wall for a light switch. I found a plate where a switch was 4 installed... but no switch!

Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world"s largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children"s Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid"s Yards – the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
"Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club."
"We try to tell kids that it"s not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult."
1. Kids F.A.C.E is _____.
A. a program to help students with writing

D. She joined the National Park Service.
3. Kid’s Yards is _____.

D. an entertainment park for kids.
4. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?

C. Kids F.A.C.E members are from the U.S.
D. Kids are urged to save natural resources.
Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes(代用品)for many of them through our research programs.
Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.
小题1:What is the best title for the passage?
| A．The definition of technology | B．Modern technology |
| C．The application of technology | D．The development of technology |
| A．Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living. |
| B．The three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. |
| C．Technology is the response to our needs. |
| D．The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology. |
| A．higher quality of life | B．medical technology |
| C．modern farming machinery | D．technological substitute |
