Friendship Force International provides opportunities to explore new countries and cultures from the inside by bringing people together at the personal level. Through the signature program of home hospitality, local hosts welcome international visitors into their culture, sharing with them meals, conversation, and the best sights and experiences of their region.In a typical Friendship Force program, a local club prepares a series of cultural activities, inviting members from clubs in other countries to come and stay with them in their homes for up to a week.There are many ways to explore the world through Friendship Force. For example, you may:Join a group making a cultural exploration of another country or of another region of your own country.Bring the world to your doorstep by hosting international visitors in your home.Join a cultural travel program formed around common interests such as gardening, hiking, wine and many others.Get involved with a Friendship Force club in your city, or organize one yourself.21. According to the passage above, Friendship Force International will help you.A. know more about the life of the people living in ancient timesB. have a better knowledge of new countries and cultures C. book cheap air tickets and choose hotels onlineD. live and work for a short period of time in other countries22.

The aim of this passage is to.A. argue about the future of Friendship ForceB. explain the reasons for setting up Friendship Force C. introduce the history of Friendship ForceD. attract people to take part in Friendship Force programsBWhile studying social insect behavior, researchers from the Agricultural University of Krakow, Poland, discovered a remarkable example of self-sacrifice in a species of ants found in Brazil. They found that the ants sacrifice themselves in order to avoid a possible threat.When the sun sets, the ants seal up the entrance to their nest, but in doing so a few remain outside to kick sand over the entrance hole until it becomes invisible. These ants then die due to the cold, or get blown away in the wind. This door-sealing activity of these ants represents the first recorded case of insects sacrificing themselves through a preventive procedure. The ants sacrifice their lives every evening even if the nest isnt under attack by enemies. The task takes about 50 minutes and the technique the ants use to kick sand backward over the hole with their hind legs is unique to the chore, strengthening the evidence that this is a premeditatedactivity instead of casual action. Once their task is completed, they usually quickly walk away.In order to learn of the fate of these ants, the researchers placed sheets of thin plywood (胶合板) containing false openings over some real nest entrances. The ants carried on working until they had finished and were then left to wait for the dangers of the night. The researchers found that out of 23 ants working at night, only six survived until morning. The bodies of 10 were recovered, and the other seven were missing, most likely blown away and probably dead. The researchers said that the ants are probably older workers approaching death who are more unimportant than their younger nest mates.24. This passage is mainly about.A. the unselfish behavior of Brazilian ants B. how Brazilian ants find their wayC. when Brazilian ants sacrifice themselvesD. the partnership of the Brazilian ants25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The nightly entrance-closing activity of the ants lasts no more than half an hour.B. For the first time insects are seen sacrificing themselves even when theres no direct threat.C. The ants participating in the door-sealing activity are believed to be young and healthy.D. The ants stuck outside stand a good chance of surviving the dangers of the night.26. The sheets of plywood are used to.A. save the lives of the ants left out in the coldB. store the bodies of the self-sacrificing antsC. know what will happen to the ants remaining outsideD. cover the real nest entrances for protection27. The underlined word premeditated is closest in meaning to .A. abnormal B. random C. planned D. excitingCMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high school curriculum. The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes .They are failing because the academic classes are not sufficient.It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art - there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge - certainly not a good preparation for the real world.28. What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph? A. Not proper B. Too many C. Too boring D. Not enough29. It can be learned that the art can _. A. motivate students in creativity and expression B. make students round-shaped people in future C. provide students with analytical thinking D. prevent students graduating from high school30. In what way dose the author describe the passage? A. Excitedly B .Bitterly C. Humorously D. Mildly31. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Can the high school curriculum go without music and drama? B. Who killed music and drama C. Why is music so important? D. How to prepare for the real world?DNowadays the U.S. Students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting, playing video games, watching TV, and using the media in other ways. “Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal,Sleep Medicine.But the relationship between youths media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and theSleep Medicinemeta-analysis.“Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer Why are school-age children sleeping less?” said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers sleep, he wrote.But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime.Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate（合并）bus routes might help explain U.S. students sleepiness.“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said.32. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Kids benefit a lot from technology. B. Some tips can help kids sleep well. C. Several factors affect kids sleep. D. Several sleep troubles appear at school.33. According to Meilan Zhang, _. A. students are good at using the media B. students sleep is affected by the media C. students use the media during sleeping D. students suffer from technology badly34. Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better? A. Their playing time must be limited. B. Technology is forbidden at home. C. They are allowed to go to school early. D. Parents should be well educated.35. Who are most likely to be interested in the text? A.The officials B. The teachers. C. The parents. D. The researchers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中两项为多余选项。 In late March and April, most US school, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off from school. 36 Some families go on vacation, visiting a new state or even a new country.
