While the leading actor on the stage   34  our attention, we also see the importance of the   35  players and the scenery of the   36  itself.

And it is in the public schools that we find the full   38  of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are   39  to the next generation.
Education in any society is a   40  of the society. We can see in it the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the  41  values of the culture itself. The great  42  in exceptional children shown in public education over the past thirty years   43  the strong feeling in our society that all   44 , whatever their special conditions, have a right to get the chance to fully develop their abilities.
“All man are created equal.” We’ve    45   it many times, but it still has an important meaning for education in a democratic society.   46  the phrase was used by this country’s founders to express equality before the   47 , it has also been explained to mean equality of education.

举一反三
Monitoring global warming usually requires a Ph. D. and enough maths to glaze your eyes. But that Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant track(记录)what climate change is doing to five different plants in Tucson, Arizona and they are only in the second grade.
“We are collecting data because the weather is changing and the plants are blooming,” Ruby explained.
Scores of other students at Borton Primary Magnet School and Sunnyside High School in Tucson are heading outdoors to be part of a new scientific push to figure out how the biological timing of the earth is changing. It’s a research project that the average person, even a kindergartner, can join in.
The National Phenology(生物气候学)Network is calling on volunteers to help track early spring blooms and eventually changes in animals caused by global warming. It’s called Project Budburst. When it was first open to the public last year, thousands of people participated in 26 states.
“All people can contribute to it by tracking the timing of flowering events or leaf-out events for plants and animals in their backyard,” said Phenology Network director Jake Weltzin. He calls the volunteers “citizen-scientists.”
The idea is that tracking flowers blooming—especially lilacs(丁香); which everyday people have helped track for decades—is fairly simple. The Website http://www.Windows.ucar.edu/ citizen_science/budburst/index.html gives directions on what to look for in different parts of the country.
University of Maryland professor David Inouye said it’s so easy to figure out what’s blooming that a lack of special knowledge isn’t a problem.
University of Arizona ecology graduate student Lisa Benton coordinated(协调)the Tucson high school students as they looked at plants five minutes from their high school. Each student has specific guidelines and she’s been happy so far with the data she is getting. For his part, second-grader Francisco said he had fun helping out.
“I like going out in the desert,” he said. “I want to be an Einstein.”
小题1:Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant are monitoring global warming by __________.
A.watching early spring blooms and changes in animals
B.studying the biological timing of earth
C.collecting data of the local weather
D.tracking the early spring blooms of some local plants

A.the study carried out by students is convincing
B.the students still need special training to study climate change
C.it is difficult to study climate change
D.to figure out what’s blooming needs special knowledge
小题4:Who is primary school student joining in the Project Budburst?
A.Lisa Benton.B.David Inouye
C.Francisco Lopez.D.Jake Weltzin.
小题5:We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A.changes in animals caused by global warming happen earlier than those in plants
B.the biological timing of earth is changing because of climate change
C.the effect of climate change in Tucson, Arizona can be hardly noticed
D.all the plants in Tucson, Arizona are blooming earlier because of climate change

When you travel in South America, you’d better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals.
Piranhas(水虎鱼)
Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans, the red-bellied piranha is definitely one of those. Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones. This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly. It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower.
Anacondas(水蟒)
This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares!They have weighed over 230 kilograms. It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world. You certainly don’t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim. It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils(缠绕)around all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies. Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile. They don’t have poison. Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near.
Golden Poisonous Frogs
The golden poison frog might be the most-deadly of the South American animal, which is protected by means of poison. This very small frog, less than 55 mm in length, packs enough punch(效力)to take down a pair of African bull elephants. This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly. It’s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by contacting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered! In intense colors, they normally look attractive to their targets.
小题1:What can we learn about piranhas from the passage?
A.Piranhas are the most dangerous animals.
B.Piranhas like to live in the deep seabed.
C.Piranhas may attack human beings when the water level is low.
D.Piranhas only attack human beings when they cross the river in groups.
小题2:How does an anaconda kill its victim according to the passage?
A.It often uses its poison to kill its victim.
B.It often uses its strength to kill its victim.
C.It kills its victim mainly using its powerful teeth.
D.It kills its victim with the help of other snakes.
小题3:The underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.hide itself by appearing like the surroundings
B.terrify and capture the enemy by making much noise
C.move around to search for delicious food
D.give off harmful gas to kill the targets
小题4:Chicken and dogs are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that ________.
A.no animals can survive the poison of the golden poison frog
B.they like to wander along the path of the golden poison frog
C.the golden poison frog likes eating them most
D.the poison of the golden poison frog is deadly

Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!
The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs
Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.
The Best Jumpers
Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. It is like a person jumping over about 30,48. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length(5.5cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.
The Cryogenic Animal
Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.
小题1:The earliest frogs lived about ________ million years ago.
A.20B.30C.50D.190
小题2:The Gold Frog is one of the ________ frogs on the earth.
A.smallestB.biggestC.strongest D.weakest
小题3:________ can jump over 2m.
A.The Goliath FrogB.The Common Wood Frog

Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other.In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking.
  Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking.Nor are they reading a book.New technology has replaced quiet habits.Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.
  Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(使用月票上下班者). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40, 000 ― yes, 40, 000 “apps” have been designed.
  Commuters love them because they are the perfect time - fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks.Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.
  For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction (消遣) of choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music - iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
  And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work.With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
小题1:Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ________ to their iPhones
A.iShootB.Tube ExitsC.iSteamD.iPod
小题2:People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ________.
A.they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other
B.they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed
C.they feel sleepy because of getting up early
D.they’re busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films
小题3:The underlined word “apps” in the third paragraph means ________.
A.computers
B.programs downloaded for the iPhone
C.computer companies
D.fortune from London commuters
小题4:The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A.London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B.Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40, 000 apps
C.technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time
D.riding a London subway is a must when visiting London

Everybody cheats. Whether it’s the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round, or the shop assistant who doesn’t give the correct change, or the police officer who accepts a bribe (贿赂) – everybody’s at it. Cheats in the nest include the scientist whose research was based on fake data, the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience or win a million pounds, and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn’t really a doctor at all. Everybody cheats; nobody’s playing the game.
Is cheating acceptable, a natural way of surviving and being successful? Or is it something that should be frowned on, and young people discouraged from doing? If it’s the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules?
Take sport for example. The Word Cup was filled with cheating. Whether diving, pretending to be hurt or denying a handball, footballers will do anything for a free – kick or a penalty shot. France striker Henry denied cheating to win the free – kick which led to his side’s second goal in their 3 – 1 victory over Spain. Many footballers, however, are often putting it on. Whatever the nationality there’s one common ploy: the player rolls over holding their leg, ankle or head seeming to be in great pain. As a result a yellow card and / or free – kick is given for the foul and then, a few seconds later, the player is up and about as if nothing had happened ! The ref (裁判) may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren’t. they also see their heroes getting away with it.
Of course it’s not just football. In 1998 the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycling event, was hit by a drug – taking scandal (丑闻). The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Fustian team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned. One rider, Veronique, was banned for 9 months. He claimed: “You have cheats in sport, just as you do in business – there will always be people trying to take a short cut. At least we’re not turning a blind eye to the problem, which other sports are.”
Is it all unavoidable? There’s huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors. It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest at tempt to do the best one can.
Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products. From cut price CDs and DVDs to sportswear, cheap fake products are everywhere. It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films. If parents are doing this, their children will follow.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams. In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet. In another, widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive tested answers. They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams. It doesn’t help that their role models are also cheats. Surely we can’t complain when we’re setting such a bad example.
小题1:According to the passage, in which way can a game show player cheat?
A.By taking an indirect way.B.By gaining aid from a friend.
C.By taking forbidden drugs.D.By selling fake products.
小题2:The phrase “be frowned on”(Paragraph 2) most probably means           .

A.explain why people in almost every field cheat

A.show cheating is a common phenomenon nowadays
