They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In return, Georges son, Mike, spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected -much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The familys word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools. He says. It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.（1）The whole exchange program is mainly to_.A . help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB . send students in America to travel in GermanyC . let students learn something about other countriesD . have teenagers learn new languages（2）What did Fred and Mike agree on?A .

A better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB . German schools trained students to be better citizens.C . American schools were not as good as German schoolsD . The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.18. （8分）Now, there is a new-type school in New York, which has no everyday lessons, no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called City-as-School. The name just means the city itself is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work which interest them. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a government office helping the public with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends a week for first-year courses at college.Well, students have to pass Maths and science exams before they enter the “school”. These subjects are not easy to provide inCity-as-School. Teachers watch the progress of the students. The success rate (比率) is high. 80% of the students go to college after the City-as-School.The students like the duty of their work. They have the sense of purpose. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. One of the students, Lizette Martinez, writes I want to say that I do not know where I would be right now if I had never become part of City-as-School. Leaving my regular high school and going to City-as-School was the best decision I have ever made. The way the school works to get you to go out there and learn different fields instead of sitting in a classroom is wonderful. For all those who are in between school and dropping out, go to CAS and it will change your life forever.City-as-School High School is the nations leading (引导) external (外部地) learning or experiential (来自经验的) learning model for high school students.（1）What can we learn aboutCity-as-School?A .

Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creatinga safe self-driving car might be possible.The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.（1）What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?A . direct the way forB . take the place ofC . work better thanD . make use of（2）Cars already have the following features EXCEPT _.A . parking itselfB . controlling its speed in dangerous situationsC . slowing itself down near an objectD . avoiding car accidents one hundred percent（3）Scientists and engineers think that _.A . its possible to make safe self-driven carsB . its a long way for self-driven carsC . there will be no drivers in the futureD . self-driven cars may cause more accidents（4）What does the article mainly talk about?A . Advantages of self-driven cars.B . Different opinions on self-driven cars.C . Possibilities of self-driven cars.D . Googles new technologyself-driven cars.20. （8分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。 According to a recent newspaper article, girls do better than boys at every level of education. So it is hardly surprising that boys are now far more likely（可能的） than girls to go to universities.Eclipsed (黯然失色)Mary Curnock Cook, a leader of the University, is so worried about the future of boys that she wants to see a national effort to solve the problem. If this difference goes on growing, girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university than boys.So what is at the root of this gap（差距）? Are there changes in the nature of universities which have led to the dominance of girls on campus? Are girls simply better at schoolwork these days, and boys less interested?By the time teenagers get to their high school, the number of girls is bigger. So before they sit a single exam, there are probably more girls than boys who are likely to go to university.Waste of time?The average grade for a girl is C+ compared to C for a boy at A-level examinations. But the differences between boys and girls start much earlier on.According to a University of Bristol study, boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to have fallen behind by the time they start school. Primary schools often have more female teachers, and mothers helping out.According to the study, girls and boys often have different attitudes towards schoolwork. The report says: Boys are more likely than girls to regard school as a waste of time. Whats more, boys tend（倾向） to spend over one hour less per week on homework than girls. They are more likely to play computer games and less likely to read outside of school.There are a lot of boys thinking they can get away with the least work and wanting to spend their time doing other more interesting things, says Roger Leighton, the former head teacher of Sydney Russell School. Girls, on the other hand, tend to understand the need to work hard earlier on - they take a longer view.（1）Mary Curnock Cook wants to _. A . find out the cause for the differenceB . find out the number of girls on campusC . see boys work harder than they used toD . see people work together on the problem（2）The underlined word dominance in Paragraph 4 probably refer to _. A . achievement in schoolworkB . position of advantageC . progress in subjectsD . control of attention（3）What can we learn from the passage? A . Boy do better at some levels of education.B . There are changes in the nature of universities.C . Girls spend more time on schoolwork than boys.D . Boys and girls perform similarly in primary school.（4）Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A . Which is more attractive to students?B . What do girls understand better than boys?C . Why do more girls than boys go to university?D . Who is more likely to do a better job in universities?21. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。（B）Hurricanes(飓风) are storms. They can cause terrible waves, wind and rain.
