The first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the senior period is called “senior high school”American students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. American children have no difficulty going to senior high school because of the free education system. But things are different if they want to go to special schools.American high school students take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. Sometimes some of them complain that the progress is too slow and they do not learn much. This is because students of all levels of ability study in the same class. Students with low marks at the end of a school year are also often allowed to go on to the next grade. Many children who dont want to go to universities are sent to high schools in central cities. Fighting or some other kind of bad behavior is often seen in these schools. As a result, children who want to go to universities are often sent to suburban high schools, where most students aim at going to universities and the atmosphere is quite different there. Like what happens in China, some children from rich families study in private schools.18When can American students enjoy free education?AUntil 16 years old.BUntil 18 years old.CUntil 20 years old.19What makes the progress in high school slow?AThat most subjects are difficult.BThat the time for study is too little every day.CThat students of all levels study in the same class.20Where do children go if they want to go to universities?AHigh schools in central cities.BSuburban high schools.CHigh schools opened by universities.答案:15 BBCAA610 BCCBA1115 ABBBA1620 ACBCB第二部分:閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。AAnousheh Ansari is an engineer, a founding member of several tech companies, and if thats not impressive enough, shes also an astronaut. Shes the first Iranian to venture (冒險(xiǎn)) into space, the first female private space explorer, and the fourth selffunded person to go into space. Going into space has been a childhood dream for Anousheh. When she was 16 she moved to the US and studied engineering. Later, she started Telecom Technologies Inc., which provided network solutions for telecommunications companies. When she sold the company in 2000, she became involved with the X PRIZE foundation.Anousheh and her family helped sponsor (贊助) the Ansari X PRIZE of $10 million to encourage private companies to develop reusable spacecraft that would fly to the edge of space. 26 teams from 11 countries signed up. The winning spacecraft was Spaceship One, which became the model that Virgin Galactic is based on.Following the success of the Ansari X PRIZE, she began research for the next competition. But this time, it would be an orbital flight X PRIZE. She signed up as a backup astronaut with Space Adventures in Russia, an independent space exploration company to learn more about space flight. Three weeks before she was to go back home, one of the primary astronauts had an illness and couldnt go. She was asked to fill in for him. At the International Space Station, Anousheh became the first astronaut to blog from space. Her blog received a lot of attention as she documented what it was like to live in space and do simple tasks like brushing her teeth and hair. Anousheh described this experience as one of the most magical moments of her life. As an Iranian woman, she hopes her story will inspire other women of the Middle East to give themselves freedom and not to let society, friends or family hold them back from doing what they want to do. Theres nothing theyre not supposed to do or cannot do. 語篇解讀:本文是一篇人物傳記,介紹來自伊朗的第一個女性自費(fèi)太空探險(xiǎn)家Anousheh Ansari。21From the first paragraph, we can learn that Anousheh Ansari _.

To me, this happened and was only two feet away from me.Locating my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.First he walked to his youngest son (maybe 6 years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each others face, I heard the father say, “Its so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly, “Me too, Dad!”Then the man stood up, gazed into the eyes of his oldest son (maybe 9 or 10) and while cupping his sons face in his hands said, “Youre already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or oneandahalfyear old) was squirming (扭動) excitedly in her mothers arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said,“Hi, baby girl!” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, “Ive saved the best for last!” and went to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed, “I love you so much!” They stared into each others eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands.For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldnt possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally attentive I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arms length away from me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask,“Wow! How long have you two been married?”“Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wifes face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. “Two whole days!”Two days? I was stunned. I had assumed hed been gone for at least several weeks if not months. I know my expression betrayed me. “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!”The man suddenly stopped smiling.He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person, “Dont hope, friend . decide!” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”With that, he and his family turned and walked away together. I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied,“My future!”語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過講述自己在機(jī)場看到一家人在分別兩天重逢后的親密場景及男主人對作者所說的話,表達(dá)了這次事件對自己的震撼,并下定決心拿出更多的愛給自己的家人。25Which word could best describe the baby girl?AQuiet.BInnocent.CNaughty.

The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.One of the advantages of the product is that it wont disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.Stop the Snoring (打鼾)Heres a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when youre snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper wont cause any damage to your body.Get Your True ColorsPhotoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring on screen to use as a color in your program. Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (感應(yīng)器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color.Keep It FreshMore high technology products are showing up in the kitchen. A new Bagel dome (圓頂形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time. The product, which is able to remove air, works for bread rolls, cakes and other perishables.
