    HARTLAND, Wis. (AP) — Lauren Panos was surprised when she walked into her ninth-grade English class in the fall and saw there were no boys.
    Her parents had not told her they had enrolled her in a new all-girls class at Arrowhead High School in Hartland. Panos still isn't sold on the idea.
    "All the girls there, they can talk out of turn," the 14-year-old said. "We are bored of tasks and it's really upsetting."
    More public school systems are looking at separating boys and girls, whether for certain classes or by total schools, after the federal government opened the door last fall. Supporters say separating students by sex helps them learn better and allows boys and girls to explore subjects they may not otherwise take.
    "Boys just make a bigger trouble in the class," Panos' classmate, Alyson Douglas, 15, said “I likes not worrying about boys causing disruptions.”
    Presently, nationwide, at least 253 public schools offer single-sex classes and 51 schools are entirely single sex, according to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education. In1995, just three public schools offered single-sex classes.
    Critics of same-sex classrooms argue that proven methods of improving education should be carried out instead of one that divides boys and girls.
    "Too many schools feel they can carry out a social experiment with students' education with really the weakest of theories," said Emily Martin, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Women's Rights Project.
    Single-sex schools are an "illusionary(错觉的) silver bullet," said Lisa Maatz, director of public policy and government relations for the American Association of University Women. They distract(分散) from real problems and do not offer proven solutions such as lower class sizes and enough funding, she said.
    "I would suggest that for many of our kids and families, especially in Milwaukee, it's a question of choice," Spence said. "We have a series of choices in Milwaukee and I just think this should be one additional choice."
    66．What surprised Lauren Panos was that_______ when she walked into the class.
    A．her classmates were all boys.          B．her classmates were all girls.
    C．the boys were all absent from class.     D．she went into the wrong class.
    67．From what Panos said we can learn that ______.
    A．Panos thinks that the idea is very good for they can talk freely.
    B．Panos doesn’t accept the fact that girls in her class have to finish many tasks.
    C．Panos doesn’t like the idea that boys and girls are in separate classes.
    D．Panos prefers to study in a class in which there are only boys.
    68．The underlined word “disruptions” in the fifth paragraph most probably means ______.
    A．trouble         B．danger   C．interest        D．happiness
    69．Critics don’t support the idea of single-sex schooling mainly because_______.
    A．boys will cause more trouble and girls will hate studying.
    B．single-sex schooling that is not a proven idea can leave out key problems
    C．it doesn’t help students develop fully and healthily
    D．it can excite students to explore the unknown
    70．The passage is probably taken from_________.
    A．a newspaper                   B．a magazine   
    C．a book of education          D．A TV programme

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。
    Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
    In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug－up to 1,000－as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
    Nancy Greig, the museum’s director insists the public payday for roaches isn’t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
    “Absolutely, this wasn’t devised as a joke,” Greig said. “We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.”
    “But we really do need cockroaches.”
    “One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But it’s simple enough to fool them,” Greig said, “and even easier to catch them.” American cockroaches are the most common kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes.
    Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren’t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they don’t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They’re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.
    The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
    There’s more to like about roaches, too. They don’t bite, and they don’t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they’re generally safe to handle.
    56．For what does the museum pay for cockroaches?
    A．For a marketing ploy.                     B． It’s devised to make fun.
    C．People really need them.                   D． For a new exhibit.
    57．The underlined word “fastidious” probably means extremely ________.
    A．clean              B．dirty               C．unpleasant      D．fast      
    58．What do we know about American roaches?
    A．It’s not easy for people in Houston to collect roaches.
    B．They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes
    C．They don’t bite and they are free of disease.
    D．We have reasons to like them.
    59．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
    A．The Houston Museum of Natural Science
    B．A new exhibit
    C．Quarters for cockroaches                       
    D．A cockroach is lovely

    The Maum Sin Yong School says that they are the first in Colorado and the one of only two schools in the US to teach martial arts (武术) to students with mental diseases.
    “They do everything that our regular classes do,” says Rob Hansen, Tae Kwon Do instructor. Hansen teaches the kids how to punch (拳打), kick, and block along with the values of the Korean martial arts. He says that they also learn confidence and how to improve their motor skills. “They’ve learned focus, just to be able to pick one item and pay attention to it.”
    “Tae Kwon Do is pretty fun,” says Christina Hinkle. She was born with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and says she never wants to miss class. “Well, how come? It’s pretty fun.”
    “Ever since she saw Karate Kid, she’s been running around the house, doing kicks and punches,” says Peggy Hinkle, Christina’s mother. Peggy says that her daughter processes information slowly and taking Tae Kwon Do lessons has helped her in all parts of her life. “It gives her a chance to be a regular kid.”
    Wednesday’s class is not a normal class. Instead, it’s a day that all the students have been waiting for. “Today is actually the first day, and I’m actually going to be able to test these guys,” says Hansen. The students would receive their White Belts. However, in order to receive their belts, the students must show off their skills in front of a group of Black Belts.
    “Nervous? No way. I’m so excited,” says Christina just before she displayed what she has learned over the past few months. She and the other students also answered questions about the history of Tae Kwon Do, as well as its philosophy (哲学).
    “To me, it’s just really important for them to actively see that they are learning something,” says Hansen. “That they actually are able to be rewarded for everything that they’ve done in this class.” All the students passed. They received their White Belts.
    “To see the joy in her face was very rewarding,” says Peggy. She videotaped the whole test and hugged her daughter telling her that she’s proud. “Christina feels like she could do anything,” she says.
    Christina says that her next goal is to keep working on her skills so she can move up to a Gold Belt. She says, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe I got the first rank.”
    小题1: The purpose of teaching the students with mental disease Tae Kwon Do is _______.
    A．to help them gain confidence and be skilled at concentration
    B．to enable them to punch and kick the other opponents
    C．to take part in tournament and win prize.
    D．to get rid of their mental diseases and run motorcar
    小题2:Wednesday is the time ________ according to the text.
    A．when the students with mental disease will begin to learn Tae Kwon Do
    B．when Hansen’s students will give a display of what they have learned.
    C．when Hansen’s students will replace their black belts with white belts.
    D．when the parents can see how Hansen teach their children with mental disease.
    小题3: The example of Christina in the passage suggests________.
    A．children are learning Tae Kwon Do with their parents’ company.
    B．Rob Hansen is a strict coach of teaching Tae Kwon Do
    C．children with mental disease are interested in Tae Kwon Do
    D．Tae Kwon Do can cure mental disease.
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Learning Tae Kwon Do is beneficial to children with mental disease both in health and mind.
    B．Any child with mental disease should come to learn Tae Kwon Do.
    C．Parents understand why Rob Hansen teach children with metal disease.
    D．More schools like The Maum Sin Yong School are needed in America.

    A teddy bear from Cumbria is launching into space to raise cash for charity(慈善).
    Terence, an experienced traveller who has been to Iraq, will be the guest of honour on aviation(航行) legend Burt Rutan’s Spaceship One when it flies above Earth. The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the cuddly toy will be auctioned off(拍卖) in aid of the North Air Ambulance Appeal(北部空中救护服务中心).
    Spaceship One is the world’s first private spacecraft, and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize. Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Graham Pickering, said “flying officer” Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since.
    He said, “Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft, trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly. When the RAF finally discharge him he will be a very rare bear indeed—we just hope he does not burn up on re-entry to Earth.”
    GNAAS, which needs charitable donations of more than ￡2m a year, has three air ambulances(空中救护机).
    Peter Bond, spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said Terence’s safety was not guaranteed. He said, “This is a new and experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown. During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved.”
    Since May, Terence has spent time with members of 100 Squadron(空军中队) based at RAF Leeming in Basra, Iraq, and at air shows with performing fighter planes.
    Spaceship One will fly 100km (62 miles) above the Earth’s surface, just breaking through the planet’s atmosphere.
    If it repeats the feat(技艺) inside two weeks, it will claim the $10m Ansari X-Prize set up to encourage the private space flight business.
    小题1:Terence is ________.
    A．a real bear living in EnglandB．an experienced astronaut
    C．an air force officerD．a toy bear
    小题2:We can infer that________.
    A．after this space flight, Spaceship One will get the $10m Ansari X-Prize
    B．it is dangerous for a spaceship to re-enter the earth atmosphere
    C．Terence will be very safe on the flight
    D．Spaceship One is just an ordinary plane
    小题3:Which of the following is true of Spaceship One?
    A．Spaceship One is the world’s first spacecraft.
    B．The purpose of its flight is to collect money for the charity.
    C．The purpose of its flight is to compete for a prestigious space travel prize.
    D．Spaceship One has never flown.
    小题4:Which of the following is the best title?
    A．Teddy bear astronaut to lift off B．Spaceship One to lift off

    Believe it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It
    is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education--- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school --- they may choose home schooling.
    However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.
    Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(资源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(课程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.
    小题1:According to American law, _______________. 
    A．all kids shall go to school
    B．all kids must receive education
    C．home schooling parents shall receive continuing education
    D．state schools must give support to home-schooling parents
    小题2: According to the text, most home-schooling parents________________.   
    A．are short of money B．dislike schools
    C．used to work as teachers D．are well-educated
    小题3: Which of the following is NOT true about parents who home school?
    A．They should have enough time.
    B．They should have some skills in teaching.
    C．They must receive special curriculums at the university.
    D．They have to be able to know lesson plans and resources.
    小题4: The underlined phrase “brushing up on” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _____.
    A．reviewingB．changing
    C．choosingD．discussing
    小题5: What can be inferred from the text? 
    A．Home schooled kids learn fewer.
    B．Home schooled kids spend less time studying.
    C．Being a home-schooling parent needs a lot of effort.
    D．Home schooling will replaced school education.

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellow -- it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
    The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body -- even skin protected from the sun.
    "We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement.
    "In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich's team added in their report.
    The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.
    When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich's team wrote.
    Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
    The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin.
    Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.
    66. The best title for this passage would be_______.
    A. The danger of smoking        B. A survey of smokers
    C. Quit smoking for health       D. Smoking causes skin aging
    67.  how wrinkled each person's skin doesn’t relate to_______.
    A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes
    B. the kind and characteristics of skin
    C. how long a person smokes
    D. how long skin is under sunlight
    68. It can be inferred from the study _______.
    A. smoking won’t make skin protected from the sun age
    B. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs
    C. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin
    D. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test
    69. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_____.
    A. it will lower blood supply to skin.
    B. it can make you feel tired
    C. it can make skin come off
    D. it can make blood run faster
    70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A. inform people about the result of the study
    B. advise people to how to protect skin
    C. warn people not to smoke again.
    D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging
