This way they can ensure their safety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the childrens timeThey want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the childrens results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results. When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he cant probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanationsAt home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesnt understand as many times as he considers proper. And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socializeKeeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the childs character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so its best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends 51 The writers purpose in writing the text is to _ A teach parents the ways to keep their children safeB show solutions to developing childrens characterC explain the main reason for violence acts in schoolsD analyze an education problem and give opinions52 Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A Advantages and Disadvantages of Private ClassesB Which Is Better, School Study or Home Study? CWho is to Blame, Parents or Schools? D The Relationship between Teachers and Children 53 What does “a crystal ball” in the passage refer to?A A toy that can be used for entertainment BA round object that is made of crystalC A safe and comfortable environment D An obstacle that is hard to overcome 54 We can infer from the passage that _ A violence TV programs have bad effects on childrens behaviorB the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at schoolC children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrongD there are too many students in class for a teacher to teachBThe website “Farmers Only.com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine oclock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You dont have to be a farmer to be on “FarmersOnly.com” But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of Americas heartland”You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the states. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. Last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website. Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed at nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, “singlesinag.org”, says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation as far away as France.55.Jerry Miller started “FarmersOnly.com” in order to _.

It provides dating servicesC. Only farmers can become its membersD. Farmers in France cant benefit from it.58. The author of the text intends to _. A. advertise for the two websitesB. encourage social activitiesC. introduce two websitesD. urge readers to help farmersCWhat do you think of straight-A students? Everyone knows about such studentsWe see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the NerdsThey get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a bookThey are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sportsThen, how do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High SchoolShe also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics societyFor two years she has maintained As in every subjectMelendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in AlbuquerqueHe played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television stationBeing a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight As in his regular classes, plus bonus points for As in two college-level coursesHow do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains arent the only answerTop grades dont always go to the brightest students, declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving studentsKnowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的） abilities counts for moreMuch moreIn fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower IQFor them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get downHard work isnt the whole story, eitherIts not how long you sit there with the books open, said one of the many-A students we interviewedIts what you do while youre sittingIndeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmatesThe kids at the top of the class get here by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn59The underlined word nerds can probably refer to_Aborn leaders crazy about social activitiesBsuccessful top students popular with their peersCstudents with certain learning difficultiesD dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills60Some students become super-achievers mainly because_Athey are born cleverer than othersBthey work longer hours at study Cthey make the most use of their abilitiesDthey know the shortcut to success61What will be talked about after the last paragraph?AThe techniques to be better learnersBThe role IQ plays in learning wellCThe interviews with more studentsDThe achievements top students make62What can we infer from the passage?AIQ is more important than hard work in studyBStudents with average IQ can become super-achieversCTop students certainly achieve all-around developments.DThe brightest students can never get low gradesDTHINK twice before you throw something out as “junk” because it may be of great value. In fact, scientists made the same mistake with DNA years ago, and now they are trying to get it right. What is DNA? We often say that it is a kind of acid that contains our genes. But the truth is that genes only make up 1 to 2 percent of our DNA, which led scientists to believe that the rest of it is useless. However, instead of doing nothing, junk DNA, as it is called, turned out to be playing an important part in our body. If genes are like light bulbs, then junk DNA acts as switches. They control which genes are used in a cell and how active they are. For example, they can determine whether a cell becomes a liver cell or a neuron. The study, published in the journal Nature on September 5, started in 2003, and 442 scientists from 30 labs around the world were involved, according to Reuters. It is considered the biggest breakthrough in genomics in a decade because it might help scientists find the cause of certain diseases. But now scientists realize that most of the changes occur not in the genes themselves, but in the “junk” part of the DNA. They are able to keep track of how and why the switches change and then figure out new treatments and drugs. It has long been known that many complicated diseases, such as cancer, are caused by tiny changes in DNA. “Our former understanding of DNA was like getting a picture of Earth from space,” Eric Lander from the Broad Institute, US, told The New York Times. You know the planet is there, but you cannot see exactly what its like on the surface. But now with the new study results, “you can follow the roads and see the traffic circulation. Thats exactly the same way we will use this data in cancer research,” explained Mark Rubin from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.63.What does the underlined phrase “get it right” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Discovering new types of DNA. B. Recognizing the importance of junk DNA. C. Understanding the role genes play in DNA. D. Telling useful DNA from useless one.64. The author explains how different parts of DNA work by _. a. introducing a general theory b. making a metaphor (比喻) c. giving examples d. displaying research data A. ac B. bc C. ad D. cd65. The results of the study mentioned in the article show that _. A. cancer is caused by tiny changes in genes themselves B. the study of junk DNA is less important than the study of genes C. junk DNA is very important for the functioning of our cells D. changes in junk DNA do not affect genes66. Which of the following statements might Mark Rubin agree with? A. The battle against cancer will be won within a few years. B. The finding of junk DNA is far from enough in the fight against cancer. C. The finding of junk DNA throws light on how we might cure cancer. D. Scientists can make new treatments and drugs that could change our genes.EIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place Asians are immigrating（移民） to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever beforeMost Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the WestIn Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to universityStudents must first pass the strict national examinationHowever, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can goAs a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to universityThe problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the EastAlso, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homesBecause of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the WestTherefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problemBecause these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from schoolTo be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English wellAlso, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhereWhat these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education67.
