He tries to keep his little brothers out of trouble, and he calls his mother my first love. To protect him, we cannot tell you his last name, because when he was 12, he was forced to join a gang (帮派) in the rough section of Brooklyn where he grew up. Today, Jay is working and studying as hard as he can to build a full, new life. The gang has not forgiven him for leaving.Jays high school was controlled by a rival gang, and when he was 15, this remarkably bright young man dropped out of school. The following year, one of his gang leaders fled town fearing for his life. Most members shuffled to different chapters. Jay slipped away to another town and bowed out entirely. I was frightened for a while, he said. Theyd never send one person after me. Theyd send a bunch. At 16, Jay was referred to the Adolescent Employment and Education Program, which prepares young people to take the high school equivalency (相等) exam. The program, which is run by the Brooklyn Bureau of Community Service, a beneficiary (受益者) of The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, then finds jobs for its students.This fall, the Neediest Cases Fund also helped Jay with his rent so he could make ends meet with only one job, leaving him time to study for his test. The results are expected any day now. When asked if he thinks he passed, he and the adolescent programs director, Tammy Samms, smile and point out that theyre hoping for a lot more. The kids brilliant, said Ms. Samms. If Jay gets a high enough score, like he has on his practice tests, he can go straight to a four-year college. We wish him the best of luck. 56.

Over four years, total enrollment in language courses has grown 12.9 percent.Spanish remains the most popular subject, with more than 823,000 students enrolled - up 10.3 percent since 2002 and nearly four times higher than No.2 French.But Arabic is the fastest-growing major language, breaking the top 10 for the first time with just under 24,000 enrollments, compared to about 10,600 in 2002.Young people today understand that the world is truly and inevitably smaller, and theyre coming to the study of Arabic with serious, professional goals in mind, a MLA expert said.More than 200 less-common languages - everything from Nepali to Macedonian to Native American languages like Crow and Blackfeet -are now taught on college campuses.Besides growing interest in global affairs, the MLA and other experts point to several factors. Many schools have reinstated (恢复) language requirements after dropping them during the 1960s and 1970s. More students are also arriving with a head start from high school.Emily Pollokoff, a student at Emory University in Atlanta, is typical of the new generation of language learners. The sophomore (大学二年级学生) from Chicago is in her first year of Arabic and second year of Hindi, and plans to start Sanskrit next year.My interest in language comes from just wanting to understand people better,” she said. There are so many ways to connect with people-music, food, smiling. But language being a specifically human phenomenon makes so much possible. 64. The passage mainly tells us _.A. foreign language courses are becoming popular with American college studentsB. Arabic has become the fast-growing major language on American campusesC. why foreign language courses are so popular with American college studentsD. how the Modern Language Association of America carried out the new study65. What method does the author use mostly to explain his opinion?A. Making a definition. B. Making a comparison.C. Citing an example. D. Listing some numbers.66. _ belongs to American language.A. Nepali B. Blackfeet C. Hindi D. Macedonian67. In Emily Pollokoffs opinion, _A. students should learn foreign languages from high schoolB. a college student should learn languages as many as possibleC. language is the most reasonable way to connect with peopleD. all language learners learn languages to understand people betterDWASHINGTON-The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday denied California and 16 other states the right to set their own standards for carbon dioxide emissions (排放) from automobiles.The E. P. A. administrator, Stephen L. Johnson, said the proposed California rules were preempted (抢在之前行动) by federal authority and made moot (争论未决的) by the energy bill signed into law by President Bush on Wednesday Mr. Johnson said California had failed to make a compelling case that it needed authority to write its own standards for greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks to help control global warming.The decision immediately provoked a heated debate over its scientific basis and whether political pressure was applied by the automobile industry to help it escape the proposed California regulations. Officials from the states and numerous environ mental groups swore to sue (控告) to overturn the edict rules.In an evening conference call with reporters, Mr. Johnson defended his agencys decision.The Bush administration is moving forward with a clear national solution, not a confusing patchwork of state rules, he said. I believe this is a better approach than if individual states were to act alone.The 17 states - including New York, New jersey and Connecticut - had waited two years for the Bush administration to issue a ruling on an application to set stricter air quality standards than those adopted by the federal government. The decision technically known as a Clean Air Act waiver, was the first time California was refused permission to carry out its own pollution rules; the federal government had previously granted the state more than 50 waivers.The emissions standards California proposed in 2004 - but never approved by the federal government - would have forced automakers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in new cars and light trucks by 2016, with the cutbacks to begin in 2009 models.68. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. 17 states are not allowed to set their own emission rules for cars.B. 17 states have the right to set their own standards for emissions.C. The proposed California rules are good to help control global warming.D. E. P. A.s decision to deny the proposed California rules, right or wrong69. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?A. Caused. B. Deepened. C. Motivated. D. Cancelled.70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The decision made by E. P. A. depends on its scientific basis.B. Political pressure is the main reason to force the government to deny the rules.C. Officials from the states are not satisfied with the governments decision.D. The states recently urged government to set stricter air quality standards.71. In Stephen L. Johnsons opinion, _.A. the auto industry should be active in the proposed California regulationsB. his agency made a correct decision to deny the proposed California rulesC. the Bush administration doesnt have a clear solution to global warmingD. individual states are better to act alone with an appropriate approachEMost people who enjoy movies do not really care how they are made.
