阅读理解。     In the United States, federal law requires public schools to provide special education services for children
with any disability (障碍). But today we look at three private schools that serve only students with learning
disabilities.
     The Hillside School in Pennsylvania accepts up to one hundred and twenty-eight children. The students
aged five to thirteen have disorders with language, writing or working with numbers. They may also have
attention disorders. Hillside administrators say the main goal is to prepare students to learn effectively in a
regular school. Teachers and specialists develop individual learning plans for the students, which is something
a public school may not do. Development director Kathy Greene says most students remain at Hillside for
about three years before leaving for a regular classroom setting.
     "Serving intelligent students with learning differences" is the slogan of the Shelton School in Texas. Its
website says the school has about eight hundred forty students in all twelve grades, and one teacher for every
six students. The Shelton School also says its goal is to prepare students to return to regular classes, although
some do finish high school there. The website says forty-four students graduated from Shelton in 2006. And
it says they received acceptances from a total of seventy-seven colleges and universities.
     Landmark College in Vermont is a college for students with learning difficulties. It offers a two-year
program that prepares students to continue their studies at a four-year school. Each student has an adviser
and an individual learning program. Landmark has international students this year from South America,
Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
     All three schools offer financial aid. Hillside costs about seventeen thousand dollars a year to study in
Hillside,while it costs between ten and twenty-one thousand to study in Shelton, depending on the grade level.
Shelton and Hillside students live at home. It costs about fifty thousand dollars a year to study in Landmark
College, which includes housing. 1. How many classes are there at the Hillside School in Pennsylvania at least?[     ]

阅读理解。     Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe.
     Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away it was
from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the
moon.
     The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the
air reaches only 240 kilometers"away from the earth. But something can fly even where there is no air. That
is a rocket.
     How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will
rush out of the rocket, pushing the rocket up into the sky. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with
men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet much
farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space. 1. What did scientists know about the moon years ago? [     ]
A. The size of the moon.
B. The distance between the earth and the moon.
C. Life on the moon.
D. Both A and B. 2. A plane cannot fly to the moon because _____. [     ]
A. its engine is not powerful enough
B. it cannot fly so high
C. there is no air on the moon
D. the moon is too far away from the earth 3. A rocket is driven by _____. [     ]
A. electricity
B. hot gas inside it
C. atomic energy
D. energy from sunlight 4. Which of the following is NOT true? [     ]
A. Rockets can fly into outer space.
B. Rockets have flown to most of the planets so far.
C. Rockets with men cost more than rockets without men.
D. Rockets without men appeared earlier than rockets with men. 5. Choose the best title for this passage? [     ]
A. The Moon and Planets.
B. Flying to the Moon.
C. How Does a Rocket Fly?
D. Rockets in the Universe.

开放性阅读。     The power of nature Wind, water, fire and ice-these powerful natural forces shaped the land of America
in the past. They are still changing it today.
     The Colorado River slowly cut through stone to make the Grand Canyon.
     Long ago, ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and glaciers (冰川) were moving in Alaska.
     Rains and storms hit the land from time to time. Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes
of wide animals. This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1998.
     Dead volcanic (火山的) mountains such as Haleakala on Moui and Crater Lake in Oregon are beautiful to
look at. There are also several active volcanoes in the US, especially along the Pacific Coast. There are also
many earthquakes in this area. Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes. This was shown
clearly on May 18, 1980. At 8: 32 that morning, Mount St. Helens in Washington State erupted (爆发). The top
of the mountain was blown off.
     Over 60 people-campers, scientists, journalists, and forest workers were killed. Hundreds of square miles
of forests were knocked down. In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid
the sun for many hours. Town and fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty grey ash.
     Scientists knew that Mount St. Helens could erupt soon but no one could say when. And no one expected
the terrible strength of the eruption. Many people were surprised and weren"t ready. Harry R. Truman, 84,
owned a small hotel in Mount St. Helens. Scientists had asked him to leave because the volcano was becoming
dangerous.
     Harry Truman would not leave his home. Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash. A small cross
stands above the place where Harry probably died. Perhaps it is better that he did not see what happened to
Mount St Helens, the once beautiful lake, and the forests.
     But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain. Grass and small plant are beginning to
grow again. Deer and birds have been seen in the area. The land will never be the same as it once was. Perhaps
Mount St. Helens will erupt again but this is all part of nature"s pattern of change, and man has little power to
control it. 根据短文内容，判断下列各句的正(T)误(F)。
(     )1. The Colorado River slowly cut through stone to make the Grand Canyon.
(     )2. Long ago, ice sheets made Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes, and glaciers are not moving in Alaska.
(     )3. Scientists knew exactly when Mount St. Helens would erupt.
(     )4. Harry was finally persuaded to leave his home.
(     )5. Now the land is not the same as it once was.

完形填空。     The U.S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by
publishing a map. This map shows the   1   of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas
of map where earthquakes are   2   likely to break out are called earthquake "belts". The government
is working hard to help   3   the answer to these two questions:
     1. Can we foretell earthquakes?
     2. Can we control earthquakes?
     To answer the first question, scientists are looking very   4   at the most active fault systems in the
country,   5   the San Andress fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth"s
   6  . These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes happen. Scientists look at the
faults   7   changes which might show that an earthquake was   8   to happen. But it will probably be
many years   9   we can foretell earthquakes accurately (精确地). And the control of earthquake is even
  10  away.
     Nevertheless, there have been some interesting  11  in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most
interesting  12  the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000
meters below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number
of earthquakes. Scientists have  13  that the water that was injected into the rocks worked like oil  14
each other. When the water "oiled" the fault, it became slippery and the  15  of an earthquake was released
(释放). Scientists are still  16  at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a  17  between
the injection of the water and the earthquake  18 . They have supposed that it  19  be possible to inject some
20  of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.

Recent America"s Promise Alliance carried out research on national high school graduation rates. It is a private (私人的) group helping children receive services they need to succeed. On Tuesday it held a meeting and made its new report known, saying only about half of all students in the main schools of America"s largest cities finish high school. The report also noted higher rates (比率) of graduation-more than 70%-in the areas around the cities. Researchers carried out this study in the nation"s fifty largest cities. They used a new system of measurement called the cumulative promotion index (累计增长指数) to find graduation rates. That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates. Meanwhile, many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who finish high school. Colin Powell was chairman of this private group when it was formed in 1997. He attended the meeting Tuesday where the report was made. He said studies have shown that the United States must do more to educate the leadets and work force of the future. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke. She said the government will ask states to use the same method when reporting graduation rates. Colin Powell also announced (宣布) the start of a nationwide activity to improve graduation rates. It is to include many meetings to be held in every state over the next two years. The meetings will bring together government leaders,business owners, students, parents and education officials. They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school.
