    When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
    I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
    Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I  would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
    Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
    I would like to say ’"thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
    小题1:When did the story probably happen?
    A．On Christmas Day. B．Before Christmas Day,
    C．On New Year’s Day. D．After New Year’s Day.
    小题2:Why did the writer want to say ’’thank you" to the woman?
    A．Because she bought Mark a nice present.
    B．Because she always paid money for others.
    C．Because she collected clothes for the homeless.
    D．Because she taught Mark to help people in need.
    小题3:What’s the best title for this passage?
    A．A big supermarket B．A kind woman
    C．A happy family D．A wonderful gift

    小题1:B
    小题1:D
    小题1:D

    小题1: 根据The third Saturday in December，十二月的第三个星期，可知这是圣诞节前夕，故选B。
    小题1:这个故事那个女人不仅帮助这个小孩度过难关，还教会了孩子一个做人的道理，所以他的父亲要谢谢她。故选D，因为它教会马克帮助那些需要帮助的人。
    小题1:四个选项分别表示大超市、好心的女人、幸福之家和精美的礼物。从文章中心意思来看，这不仅仅指的是圣诞节礼物，学会如何做人更是一份更加精美的礼物，所以选D。

    Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
    Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
    Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
    The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers’ union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.
    The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government’s delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.
    Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.
    小题1:If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must                    .
    A．try new methods of teachingB．prove its management ability
    C．obey the local and state lawsD．get the government’s permission
    小题2:Charter schools are independent because                       .
    A．they make greater progressB．their class size is smaller
    C．they enjoy more freedomD．they oppose traditional ways
    小题3:What’s the government’s attitude toward charter schools?
    A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Subjective.D．Optimistic.
    小题4:What can we learn from the text?
    A．More students choose to attend charter schools.
    B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
    C．Students in charter schools are well educated.
    D．People have different opinions about charter schools.
    小题5:It can be inferred from the text that                       .
    A．charter schools are part of the education system
    B．one-on-one attention should be paid to students
    C．the number of charter schools will be limited
    D．charter schools are all privately financed

    Forty-two of the fifty American states offered some kind of public online learning this past school year．One state，Michigan，now requires all students to have an online learning experience before they finish high school．Even the idea of a school has changed since the rise ofthe Internet in the 1990s．
    A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University says eighteen states have full-time virtual schools．There are no buildings．All classes are online．
    Florida started the first statewide public virtual school in the United States in 1997．Today，the Florida Virtual School offers more man ninety courses．56,000 students were enrolled as of December．Almost sixty percent were female．The school's website says each student was enrolled in an average of two classes．

    So how good are virtual schools? Studies have shown mixed results, as a new report from Indiana University notes．For example, students at Florida Virtual School earned higher grades than those taking the same courses the traditional way．And they scored higher on a statewide
    test．But virtual school students in Kansas and Colorado had lower test scores or performed at a lower level than traditional learners．Studies also find that virtual schools may not save much in operating costs．

    In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air form car engines.
    For several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(车道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike 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 bike lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow 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 open ground in New York— is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only.

    A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the BritishMedicalJournal.
    Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
    Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
    Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
    Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
    Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
    But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It_ is_ like _the _chicken  _and _egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”
    小题1: What’s the result of the research mentioned in the text?
    A．Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
    B．Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
    C．Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
    D．Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
    小题2:It was found in the research that________.
    A．most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out
    B．vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians
    C．female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
    D．vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
    A．Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.
    B．The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
    C．The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.
    D．The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
    小题4:What’ s the best title for the text?
    A．Get more IQ points!
    B．Be a vegetarian, please!
    C．Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
    D．A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian

    Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623, when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today intellectual property rights are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.
    In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recoding of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.
    小题1:According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to _______.
    A．those creating music, art and literature
    B．novelists
    C．those not receiving financial reward for their work
    D．engineers and inventors
    小题2:What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?
    A．It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.
    B．It sells songs and films.
    C．It makes IP rights harder to protect.
    D．It prevents the production of artwork.
    小题3:According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?
    A．Intellectual property rights.B．Free downloading.
    C．The Internet.D．The large number of songs, films and books.
    小题4:A possible title for this passage could be _______.
    A．IP Rights and Our Attitudes　B．Ways to Protect Your IP Rights
    C．The Present and the Future of IP rightsD．A History of IP Rights
