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-taking, 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 different kinds of fields
of development: physical development, mental development 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 after-school programs can make
a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage 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, skill building meaningful
involvement, expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in
the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment,
encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school
programs have a promising future, how they are designed and run matters. Title: Quality After-school Programs

阅读理解。    Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write
poorly, because they make many mistakes.
    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every
new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language
dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of
English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has
many translations in English.
    The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000
words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea
and understand new words from the context (上下文). Then they read again and use the dictionary to look
up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not
sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think
a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary. 1. The writer thinks that _____. [     ]
A. choose a good dictionary, and you"ll be successful in learning English
B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
D. using dictionaries very often can"t help to improve writing 2. When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in the reading? [     ]
A. After the first reading
B. At the end of the reading
C. During the first reading
D. At the beginning of the reading 3. This passage mainly tells us _____. [     ]
A. that students shouldn"t use small two-language dictionaries
B. that the small two-language dictionaries are very useful
C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries
D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it 4. Which is not mentioned in this passage? [     ]
A. How to make good use of a dictionary.
B. How to improve spoken English.
C. When to use a dictionary.
D. How to practise reading fast.

阅读理解。      Every student wants to learn English well, but how can we learn it well? It"s a good topic for English
learners. Here are some good methods, which can help you improve your English quickly.
     First of all, you must have correct attitude. Please love English, not hate it. And you don"t feel shy when
you say or speak English. Remember one sentence: Put your face in your pocket.

laugh at others. We"d better listen, speak, read and write more. You can go to English corner, talk with
foreigners or talk with your friends. If you have time, listen to the radio or English program. Listening to this
good material can help you improve your listening and understanding. And then, you can read English books,
newspapers or novels. They are wonderful. You can use the internet, chat with net-friends or write E-mails,
dairies …Through these ways, you can get more for your English.

阅读理解。    Every year landslides (山崩) cause 25 to 50 deaths and $2 billion in damage in the United States. And in
December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize (加固)
mountainsides using steel bars (钢筋) can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and
loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑) from the work. "It"s a quite dangerous job," says Giorgio Pezzuto of
D" Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called
Roboclimber.
    "The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,"
says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that
the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor (人工). The robot, a large radio-controlled four-
legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill (钻) holes
and insert (插入) steel bars there. Testing should begin in May. 1. The underlined word "event" refers to _____. [     ]
A. earthquake
B. debris
C. dust
D. landslide 2. The purpose in writing this text is _____. [     ]
A. to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides is
B. to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous job
C. to show people how to use a new robot
D. to introduce a new robot that can be used to stabilize mountainsides 3. What does the robot look like? [     ]
A. human being
B. spider
C. steel bar
D. a drill 4. The biggest advantage of this product is that _____. [     ]
A. it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor
B. it can climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there
C. it can do the stabilizing job without human beings near
D. it is like a spider

阅读理解。    The classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the military
examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the
smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in
a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.
     The effects of family size on intelligence (智力) may be explained by what a house full of children does
to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases
the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to
sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to
play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts (交往) with an adult alone, the child
learns more and therefore intelligence is increased. Researchers have also found that parents often expect more
from their first-born, which motivates (激发) such children to seek a higher standard.
     Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be
examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large
families come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order,
may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations (基因突变) within families
that also explain the cause of differences.
     If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more
conforming (墨守陈规) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (brothers and/or sisters).
Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such factors as birth order, the order in
which boys and girls are born into a family, the number of years that separate siblings probably have an effect
on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships. 1. The underlined word "subjects" in the 1st paragraph means _____. [     ]
A. branches of knowledge
B. persons chosen to be studied in experiments
C. citizens of a country
D. things talked about in a conversation, discussion or book 2. According to the research, usually the elder in a two-child family is _____. [     ]
A. cleverer than the younger
B. no cleverer than the younger
C. less clever than the younger
D. as clever as the younger 3. Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard? [     ]
A. They are more likely to obey others.
B. Their parents spend less time with other children.
C. They are more conforming.
D. Their parents expect more from them.. 4. The best title for this passage would be _____. [     ]
A. Family Size and IQ
B. Boys Cleverer Than Girls?
C. The Development of Intelligence
D. Factors Influencing IQ
