papers came to jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they saidif he approved of a paperhe would write“all correct”on itthe problem was that he didnt know how to spellso what he really wrote was“ol korekt”after a while，he shortened that term to“ok”the second explanation is based on the place where president van buren was born，kinderhook，new yorkvan bnrens friends organized a club to help him become president they caned the club the old kinderhook club，and anyone who supported van buren was called“ok”56the author a. believes both of the stories bdoesnt

storythe term“ok”was first used _ aby van buren bin a presidential electioncto organize the old kinderhook club dby the members of theold kinderhook club”passage 2 trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most importantin his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire it gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poorwhen the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation even when a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize thisthey cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees so，unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappearthis does not only mean that there will be fewer treesthe results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in， and also bind the soilthis prevents the soil from being washed awaybut where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow when a11 the topsoil is gonenothing remains but worthless desert 61trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can _a. keep him from the hot sunshine benable him to build warshipscmake him draw quick profit from them d .protect him from droughts and floods62its a great pity that _aman is only interested in building empires bman is eager to profit from treescman hasnt

stop cutting down their trees cunless ail people are taught the importance of planting trees dunless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them64the word“bind”in paragraph 5 means“_” ato wash away bto make wet cto make stay together dto improve65. when there is a heavy raintrees can help to prevent floodsas they can. akeep rain from falling down to soft ground b，cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink incprevent the soil from being washed away d .make the topsoil stick passage 3 each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. some call it the summer learning setback（退步）. simply speaking, it means 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 get 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 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 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 than other students. experts say this can be prevented. they note that many schools and local governments offer programs that 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, 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”. 66according to the first paragraph the summer learning gap .a. helps children to gain weightb. leads children to work harderc. improves childrens memoriesd. affects childrens regular studies67compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones .a. perform better and have more learning gainsb. have much less time for relaxation every yearc. have generally the same number of class daysd. hold more classes with more free weeks off68which of the following statements is true?a. students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.b. year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.c. there are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.d. nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation. passage 4is it necessary for a young man to have an apartment as a prerequisite（先决条件） for marriage? housing has become a major obstacle（障碍） for chinese young men hoping to start a family. china may breed a new group of bachelors, men caught in the trap of unaffordable houses.since early 2009, the housing market has once again become a hot pot at boiling point. even with allowance（津贴） and special government policies, home prices in chinas first-tier cities such as beijing and shanghai are riding the crest（波峰）of a rising wave. according to the 2010 china marital status report released on dec 15, 2010, about 70 percent of women interviewed said that housing, a stable income and some savings were the main requirements for marriage.from the report, we can see that housing is given top priority（优先权） and that women see an apartment as essential(必不可少的) to show that the man is responsible and can provide for his family.personality and morals lay outside the top three matrimonial （婚姻的）requirements. some women and their families hold the traditional position and take it for granted that the home issue should be the mans responsibility, which doesnt agree with the contemporary independent spirit of women and gender equality. these marriage values reflect the fact that many women consider marriage another form of social welfare.things may be different overseas. social housing, provided by european authorities, offer the less wealthy people their own piece of real estate. such housing is usually apartments in tall buildings with 10 or more floors on the outskirts of town, whose main advantage is the low rents.for many americans, houses dont pose an obstacle to getting married. they often buy a house after the wedding, because more and more people are reconsidering their real estate worship, and going back to a more rational(理性的) mode of consumption.in japan, renting is the custom for newly married young couples. few young couples can afford to purchase property. up to 67.1 percent of young couples choose to rent. generally speaking, renters account for most people younger than 40 in japan.young people should be fr
