Quality after-school programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes
and other high-risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students
who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved
grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame.
After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime,
drug use, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar
youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting the following fields of
development: physical, mental and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming
is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that _____, it is important to note
that not all programs are equal. First, dosage (时量) matters-young people who attend the most hours over
the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-
school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices.
Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for
youth. They should provide opportunities for positive rela- tionships, skill building, meaningful involvement,
expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff char-acteristics make an important difference in the quality
of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environments, encourage
personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs
have promising future, how they are designed and run matters. |

It"s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年)-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can
make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important
to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you"ll still be there for
him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems,such as drug use
or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something,
don"t insist he tell you what"s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he"ll clam up. Instead, let
him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you"re always there for him
when he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager"s priyacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in
on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family"s
telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an
equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls,
but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone
that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job. |

It is hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling. Attaching radio
devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they were able to track a
particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy"s formerly top
secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the
cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built
over the decades to.track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely
observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies. Other scientists
have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global
temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way
a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient"s chest to a doctor"s ear. This focusing
is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often
travel thousands of miles. |
| 1. The underwater listening system was originally designed ____. |
| [ ] |
A. to trace and locate enemy ships
B. to observe deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communications network |
| 2. The deep-sea listening system makes use of ____. |
| [ ] |
A. the ability of sounds to travel at high speed
B. the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water
C. the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sounds
D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water |
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
| [ ] |
A. New radio devices are developed for tracking blue whales.
B. Blue whales are no longer endangered with the help of the new system.
C. Opinions differ on the use of military technology.
D. Military technology has great potential in civilian use. |
| 4. Which of the following is TRUE about the US Navy underwater listening network? |
| [ ] |
A. It is now partly available to civilian scientists.
B. It is a must in protecting endangered species.
C. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
D. It became useless to the military after the cold war. |
| 5. What"s the passage chiefly about? |
| [ ] |
A. An effort to protect an endangered marine species.
B. The civilian use of a military detecting system.
C. The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon.
D. A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales. |

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.
The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (远程控制器) and a radio signal from a control center miles away
will make sure that once the thief turns the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro-processor and
memory and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded (编码的) cell phone signal will tell
the control center to block the vehicle"s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime
has changed," says Martyr Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a
person how to steal a car, using a minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won"t allow them to start unless
they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have
helped to achieve a 31% drop in vehicle crime since 1997.
But determined thieves are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner"s
keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 meters without the driver conforming (一致) the ID, the system will send a signal to
an operation center that it has been stolen. The 100-meter minimum avoids false alarm be- cause of some
possible errors of the GPS signal.
Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep the police
informed of the vehicle"s movements via the car"s GPS unit. |
| 1. What"s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to the car? |
| [ ] |
A. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
B. To order the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D. To send a radio signal to inform the car owner of the theft. |
| 2. The underlined sentence "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" suggests that ____. |
| [ ] |
A. it takes less time for the car thief to do the stealing
B. many self-prepared too]s can be used for car theft
C. the theft becomes more difficult because of modern technology
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old |
| 3. ____ is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal. |
| [ ] |
A. A micro-processor
B. A special ID code
C. A special cell phone
D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver |
| 4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-meter minimum before sending an alarm to the operation center? |
| [ ] |
A. To leave time for the operation center to give an alarm.
B. To keep the police informed of the car"s movement.
C. To give the driver time to contact the operation center.
D. To allow for possible mistakes in the GPS system. |
| 5. What will the operation center do first after receiving an alarm? |
| [ ] |
A. Start the tracking system.
B. Stop the engine.
C. Contact the owner.
D. Locate the missing car. |

The Moon
Three hundred and eighty thousand kilometres away from the earth, the moon is man"s closest neighbor
in the universe. Its surface is as large as Asia. Though so far away, the moon has a strong influence on the
ecological balance on the earth. For example, partly because of the moon"s gravity, our seas and oceans have
tides.
Nearly forty years ago, man"s dream of reaching the moon was realized when American astronaut Neil
Armstrong stepped onto the moon"s surface. As Armstrong said, it was a small step for a man, but a giant
leap for mankind. Just think of the past when our forebears could hardly find enough to keep alive!
Understanding the moon is of great significance. Since there is no water and no air there, the moon is an
ideal place from which to observe the universe. A huge astronomical telescope has been installed on the moon.
And the moon"s solar energy can be used more fully than the earth"s. Finally there are the moon"s rich mineral
resources. It is no exaggeration to say that the moon is a mini-earth in terms of mineral resources.
Maybe it won"t be long before man can benefit from the development of the moon"s resources. |
| 1. Which of the following is correct according to the passage? |
| [ ] |
A. The moon has hardly any influence on anything on the earth because it is too far away from us.
B. Tides in the seas and oceans are partly caused by the moon"s gravity.
C. The moon"s surface is the same as that of Asia.
D. The ecological balance depends on the moon. |
| 2. What Armstrong said shows that _____. |
| [ ] |
A. he made only one step on the moon"s surface and he believed that man would make more in the future
B. his step on the moon was not big enough
C. his step on the moon marked man"s entrance to a new era (时代) of the moon"s research
D. anyone could leave bigger and more steps on the moon than he did |
3. "Just think of the past when our forebears could hardly find enough to keep alive!" What does this sentence
really mean? |
| [ ] |
A. Our forefathers had to labor themselves to find the insufficient food so as to live on,but we now can go to
the moon to open a new world!
B. Just think that our ancestors (祖先) were working so hard, while we are leading so happy a life!
C. Every time when we think of our hardworking forebears,we can"t help feeling shamed of ourselves. How
lazy we are!
D. If you have landed on the moon,you will certainly think of your forefathers, who did a lot in the development
of science. |
| 4. All the following statements show the great significance of the moon except _____. |
| [ ] |
A. you can more easily observe the universe on the moon
B. the moon is rich in mineral resources
C. a huge astronomical telescope is more easily installed on the moon than on the earth
D. you can more fully use the solar energy on the moon than on the earth |
| 5. What conclusion can you draw after reading this passage? |
| [ ] |
A. The further research of the moon is of great importance.
B. The moon is a likely place to have a lot of diamonds.
C. It is no exaggeration to say that the moon is full of gold and silver as well as all kinds of treasures which
the earth has.
D. The development of the moon"s resources will benefit man, but we shall wait a long time. |
