17.What are American high schools like?Well,I'm happy to tell you what I know.
    When I started school here,it had already been a week since the school opened.At this school,freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad.I wished I'd known about it earlier.
    Despite the disappointment,however,I gradually adapted to my new life and school.
    There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates,the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.Around the space,there are many lockers for students to leave their books in,so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
    It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra (代数) and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively.For example,my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time.We never know what we will learn.
    Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students'morality more than their academic studies.For example,if you do not finish your homework,you will just be asked to do it later,but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
    I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well,but compared to Chinese students,they can make learning a more joyful experience.I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.

34.What was the writer sad for?B
   A.He was late for school.  B.He missed the trip at the beginning of school.
   C.He didn't know anyone.  D.American students looked down upon him.
35.Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?C
   A.To attend class. B.To share a classroom.
   C.To have fun.     D.To meet teachers.
36.How do teachers in the US teach the students?C
   A.However they want to.                    B.They use bricks.
   C.Some use textbooks; some teach freely.  D.They always teach as required.
37.According to the passage,in American high schools,A.
   A.you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
   B.you'll be punished if you do not finish your homework
   C.students are better at school work than Chinese students
   D.students care much about the grades they get.

分析 :本文讲述的是关于美国中学的情况,并谈了美国学校和中国学校的不同之处.

解答 34.B.细节理解题.根据第二段第三句Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,很遗憾,我错过了那次美妙的旅行,可知,B项正确.
35.C.细节理解题.根据第四段第一句和第四句There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space andhave fun.在教学楼有一个地下室,学生们可以在那里聊天聚会.学生们通常来学校很早,坐在那个地方进行娱乐,可知,C项正确.
36.C.细节理解题.由倒数第三段的内容可知,在美国,一些老师使用课本,一些只是自由教学,故选C.
37.A.细节理解题.由倒数第二段中的"but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out"可知,如果你作弊的话就会警告或者退学,A项正确.

5.Check out our tsunami(海啸) facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction.Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.
Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
 As a tsunami approaches the shore,water may move back from the coast.If it is shallow enough,the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters.If you are in the area,observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.
Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate(撤离)as possible.
When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast),they slow down but increase in height.
An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries.
In March 2011,the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.
The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 meters(131feet)in some areas,wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
The Japanese word"tsunami"literally means"harbour wave".
Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal(潮水的)waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.
25.How many reasons are mentioned in the passage that may cause tsunamis?B
A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
26.which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?B
A.An earthquake takes place.
B.The water marches towards the coast.
C.The water near the shore is pulled back.
D.The water near the shore is very shallow.
27.What can we learn from the passage?D

B.The term"tidal wave"is used more often than"tsunami".
C.Sone nuclear accident happened after Indonesia tsunami.
D.More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami.
28.The passage is developed mainly byA.
A.listing the facts             
B.giving some examples

12.High school students have always spread gossip (传言) in the halls,on the walls and on the phone.Now it's on the Internet,too.On various message boards,kids write about whom they hate,whom they think have fallen in love with each other and record other often hurtful things that may or may not be true.
Sixteen-year-old Jessica remembers once when some kids at her school wrote cruel things about her on the web."They were just making fun of me,"she says.They said she's really ugly,she's this,she's that,blah-blah-blah.
Jessica's 11-year-old sister,Emma,admits she's used the web to write bad things about another girl,though she regrets it now."After a while,you may feel like,how could I have been so mean?Or,why did I do that?"she says.
Experts say gossip on the Internet can be more harmful than the old fashioned kind.It lasts longer and is taken more seriously.And,unlike ugly words on the bathroom wall,there's no way to get rid of it.
If your kids are victims(受害者) of online gossip,Dr.Commanday suggests putting the gossip in to perspective (正确看待)."Point out to them how what's being said on the screen differs from what everyone knows about you as a person,"Dr.Commanday says.
You can also try what worked from Emma:keep your kids off the offensive (冒犯的) website!"When she was using it all the time,her name was there all the time.People were writing things about her,"explains Patti Thrift,Emma's mother,"Since she has no longer had access to that,she's no longer a topic of conversation."

25.From the examples of Jessica's sister,we can learn thatC.
A.ugly girls like to spread gossip online    
B.ugly girls easily become victims of online gossip
C.gossip-makers can regret what they do  
D.online gossip is mainly some jokes on others
26.According to the passage,why is online gossip more hurtful?B
A.It is written words.
B.It cannot be removed easily.
C.It is much uglier.
D.It is easier to believe.
27.The purpose of the passage is toA.
A.give some tips on how to prevent hurt of gossip on the Internet
B.list the difference between the old fashioned gossip and gossip on the Internet
C.advise students to keep away from the Internet
D.introduce different kinds of hurt students might meet with
28.The passage is mainly written forC.
A.experts            B.teachers             C.parents            D.students.
