the first day of classes at a high school in virginia.he talked about personal responsibility，and used himself as an example of someone who overcame difficulties.“my father left my family when i was two years old，and i was raised by a single mother who had to work and struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnt always able to give us things the other kids had.there were times when i missed having a father in my life.there were times when i was lonely and felt like i didnt fit in，” said president obama.but he told students that problems in their own lives should not stop them from learning.“theres no excuse for talking back to your teacher，or cutting class or dropping out of school.theres no excuse for not trying.”this was not the first presidential speech to students.ronald reagan spoke from the white house in 1988.and george hw.bush spoke from a school in washington in 1991.but many conservatives (保守者)criticized plans for the speech.some called it “socialized education” or federal interference(干预) in local schools.others feared it would be too political.some schools decided not to show the speech.but the white house released(发布) the text on monday，and that calmed a lot of critics.on sunday，on the cbs program “face the nation”，untied states secretary of education arne duncan said 30 percent of students do not graduate from high school.he called the dropout rate

one of the most important tree species in the american west，providing food and shelter for hundreds of wildlife species including songbirds，squirrels and rabbits.pinyon seeds are often used to make sweets.but a new research suggests that manmade noise may threaten the future of the pinyon.jays(松鸦) are important spreaders of pinyon seeds.each fall，a single bird picks up thousands of seeds and then hides them in various places.throughout the winter，when other food becomes short，the birds feast on hidden seeds.but some seeds never get recovered.instead，they come out and form the next generation of trees.the researchers conducted their study in a woodland of new mexico.they spread 20 seeds under each of 12 pinyonssix in quiet spots and six in loud areas.every day for three days，the team came back to each tree to see how many seeds had been eaten and to replenish(补充) some.they found quieter areas of the woodland were more likely to have jays and four times more with pinyon seedlings than loud regions.meanwhile，the mice that lived in the louder environments ate more seeds there，destroying them in the digestive process.the results suggest noise might influence the ability of pinyons to survive from generation to generation.the influence of the noise could be felt for many years to come since pinyons live for decades.fewer seedlings in noisy areas might eventually mean fewer mature trees，because the trees are so slowgrowing.meanwhile，a lower thickness of pinyons would mean less critical(极重要的) habitat for the hundreds of species that depend on them for survival.【文章大意】美国西部有一种叫做食松的树种。食松为数百种野生动物提供了食物和栖息地，同时它的种子还可以用来制作甜食。但是一项最新的研究表明，人造噪音或许会威胁到食松的生长。5jays are important to the pinyon for the reason that _athey dont feed on pinyon seedsbthey prevent the seeds being eatenctheir waste can make the land richdthey are actually tree planters in a way解析：选d。推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句“jays(松鸦) are important spreaders of pinyon seeds.”以及该段的最后两句“but some seeds never get recovered.instead，they come out and form the next generation of trees.”可知，从某种意义上说，松鸦是食松的种植者。所以d项正确。6what animals might not be threatened by noise according to the passage?asquirrels.bmice.cjays. drabbits.解析：选b。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“they found quieter areas of the woodland were more likely to have jays and four times more with pinyon seedlings than loud regions.meanwhile，the mice that lived in the louder environments ate more seeds there.”可知，在比较安静的地区更可能有松鸦和更多的食松幼苗。与此同时，生活在噪音较大的环境中的老鼠却会吃更多的种子。由此可推知，老鼠可能不会受到噪音的威胁。7the research in the passage shows _amice prefer to live in a loud environmentbquiet places are good for pinyons to growcjays hide pinyon seeds in quiet placesdnoisy places are good for pinyons to grow解析：选b。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“they found quieter areas of the woodland were more likely to have jays and four times more with pinyon seedlings than loud regions.”可知，安静的环境更适合食松的生长。所以答案为b项。文中提到噪音大的环境不会对老鼠有太大影响，而没有说老鼠更喜欢生活在噪音大的环境里，所以a项不正确；文中提到松鸦会把食松种子藏在不同的地方，而没有说是安静的地方，所以c项不正确。8what can be the best title for the passage?athe effect of noise on the pinyonba useful plant，the pinyoncmice，the enemy of the pinyondjays，the enemy of the pinyon解析：选a。标题判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要谈及了噪音对食松生长的影响。第一段的最后一句是本文的主题句，也为解答该题提供了依据。故选a。.语法填空woman：what seems to be the problem，officer?policeman：i stopped you 1._ we are looking for a 2._ (steal) car that

strange一些奇怪的事情。疑问句中用anything。答案：anything7解析：考查定语从句。who引导定语从句修饰someone。答案：who8解析：考查副词。修饰形容词fast，要用副词。答案：really9解析：考查非谓语动词。和前面的driving并列，现在分词作定语修饰someone。答案：making10解析：考查非谓语动词。“形容词动词不定式”，不定式作原因状语，因为trouble发生在情绪sorry之前，故用不定式的完成时。答案：to
