18、nders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means that the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight. Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students g

19、et winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools

20、at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states. But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer

21、 learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year. ”Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer vacation than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs tha

22、t can help. But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture,

23、the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”. 26According to the first paragraph the summer learning gap _.

26、students who fall behind after the summer vacation. 29Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”? ABecause they cherished the childrens rights of freedom very much. BBecause they were worried about the quality of the “summer school”. CBecause they wanted their children to be forced

27、to make up the gap. DBecause they couldnt afford the further study during vacation. 30. What would be the best title of this passage? AOpening Summer CampsBForbidding Summer SchoolsCSpreading Year-Round EducationDMinding the Summer Learning Gap(B)(2012北京高二检测)New findings from Queens University biolo

28、gists show that in the plant world, bigger isnt necessarily better. “Until now most of the thinking has suggested that to be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a big plant, ” says Queens Biology professor Lonnie Aarssen. “But our research shows its virtually the other way around. ”Previ

29、ous studies revealed that larger plant species monopolize(垄断) sunlight, water and other resources, limiting the number of smaller plant species that can exist around them. But new research has proven that this is not generally the case in natural vegetation. In the Queens project, PhD student Laura

30、Keating targeted the largest individuals or “host plants” of 16 woody plant species growing in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. The research team calculated the number and the variety of plants that neighboured each large host plant. They then randomly selected plots without host plants and ca

31、lculated the plant species there as well. The research showed that the massive trees have no effect on the number of species with which they coexist. Smaller plants have many advantages over their overbearing neighbours, Professor Aarssen notes. Larger species generate physical space niches under th

32、eir canopies where smaller species thrive. Smaller plants are much more effective than large trees at utilizing available resources. They also produce seeds at a much younger age and a higher rate than their bigger counterparts, and establish much more quicklythus competing with the seedlings of lar

33、ger species. 31Whats the main idea of the text? ASmaller plants may have many advantages over their neighbours. BIn the plant world, the bigger one is better than the smaller one. CTo be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a small plant. DQueens Universitys students made a new research.

34、32The underlined word “this” in Para. 3 refers to the view that _. Alarge and small plants can grow together in harmonyBlarger plant species limit their smaller neighbours growthCsmall plant species have their own advantagesDlarge and small plant species can never coexist33. What can we learn accord

35、ing to the text? ALarger plant species limit the number of smaller ones around them. BSmaller plants can limit the number of plant species around them. CSmaller plants produce seeds at a higher rate than their bigger counterparts. DLarger trees are more effective than small plants at using available

36、 resources. 34Which is the CORRECT order in the Queens project? a. Randomly selected plots without host plants and calculated the plant species. b. Calculated the number and the variety of plants that neighboured each large host plant. c. Selected the largest individuals or “host plants” of 16 woody

(C)Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department of Public Safetys Directors Award in a Tuesday

It ran into an oncoming vehicle, leaving the occupants trapped inside as both v

39、ehicles burst into flames. Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming. He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith, 9, from the wreckage. The girls mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling

40、 with their babysitter, Lisa Bowbin. Beckie Smith still remembered the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene. Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out

41、 the fires. “I was nervous，”Bozeman said, “I dont feel like Im a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation. I hope someone would do the same for me. ”Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries. Mallory Smith broke bot

42、h femurs(股骨), and Megan had neck and back injuries. Bowbin was still recovering from a broken pelvis(骨盆), ankle and foot. The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said. In addition, Bozeman got to meet the accident victim Anthony Russo in hospital

43、after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you”，Bozeman said. Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together. “Whatever the circumstances, Tuesdays ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those wh

44、o put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers，”Beckie Smith said，“Were calling it The Miracle on Highway 6. ”36Whats the main idea of the passage?

82、ersary符合句意。2.【解析】选A。此处“so easily. . . ”为过去分词短语作定语修饰ones。overlook忽视，忽略；satisfy使满意；attend参加，照料；appreciate赏识，感激。结合句意，只有A项合适。此处表达的是“一些我们最容易忽略的人”。3.【解析】选A。句意为: 在你的感激之情活跃而真诚时，把它表达出来吧。while在时候；since既然，因为，用来引导原因状语从句；although虽然，尽管，引导让步状语从句；despite介词，意思是“不管，尽管”。故应选while。4.【解析】选B。add to增加；add up to总计；make up虚构

83、；补足；look for寻找。此处是不定式短语作定语，只有add to合适，表示“说出感谢是如此简单的增加快乐的方式”。5.【解析】选D。此处是一个并列句，后一句省略了also，故前一句中也要使用brightens。句意: 表达感谢不仅能照亮别人的世界，而且也能照亮你的世界。widen(使)变宽；strengthen加强，巩固；clear扫除，清除；结合句意和上下句的结构可以排除这三项。6.【解析】选D。分析句子结构可知，此处的短语必须能与unloved，unappreciated构成并列关系，表达详尽的意义。leave out有“忽视，使不受欢迎”之意，符合要求。wear out(使)精疲力

84、竭；leave behind留下，忘了带；cut out删去，停止，意思都明显不符。7.【解析】选C。根据上下文可知，如果你感到你被冷落，向其他人表示你对他们感兴趣，这或许正是你需要的“良药”。medicine良药，有效的东西，可以比喻为解决问题的方法，符合句意。requirement需求，要求；order命令，顺序；encouragement鼓励；都与句意不符。8.【解析】选B。结合下句中的“有机会的时候把它大声说出来”可知，此处意为“有些时候你不能马上表达自己的感激之情”。safely安全地；immediately立即，马上；carefully小心地，谨慎地；rightly正确地。结合词义

85、和语境可知，答案为immediately。9.【解析】选B。结合语境“我想知道在我们的词汇中是否有表示感谢的词语”可知答案。world世界；vocabulary词汇；knowledge知识；book书。10.【解析】选A。结合上下文语境，此处应是“传递，表达”谢意。communicate传达，传递。连接(connect)、说服(convince)和复制(copy)都不符合文意。11.【解析】选D。set sth. in motion使(某物)运转，开动(机器等)，使(程序等)开始。本句话的意思是: 感谢会产生连锁反应，而这会改变我们周围的人，包括我们自己。transform改变，符合句意和逻辑

86、。12.【解析】选C。结合上句，此处在解释说明原因，说明为什么感谢有如此的力量，故此句句意应是“没人会误解一颗感激之心”。get获得，变成；mislead把带坏；misunderstand误解，误会；misspell拼错。故选C项。13.【解析】选B。universal全体的，普遍的；common常见的；ordinary普通的；usual惯常的。此处解释感谢的特点和作用，即它传递的信息是普遍的、为大众所公认的。故选B项。14.【解析】选A。此处介词与go构成的短语要与句中的barriers搭配。句意为: 它的语言能超越世俗的障碍。go beyond超出，符合语境。go over复习，查看；go

87、 through经历，遭受，均不符合句意。15.【解析】选C。cover覆盖；excite使激动，使兴奋；touch感动；decorate装饰。结合语境，此处应用touch。句意: 它的音乐可以感动苍天。16.【解析】used 因the computer与use是被动关系，故用过去分词短语作定语。 17.【解析】both 由her parents想到用表示两者的both。18.【解析】can 主语the computer是第三人称单数，谓语动词却是原形，因此，此处应该是填情态动词；由句意可知电脑也“能”提问和提醒。另外，从下文the computer can ask him也可得到启示。 19
