Though it varies from school to school, there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation.The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award. In elementary and middle school, this award is used to recognize academic excellence. This award is also separated into two groups: A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll. It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above(90 in some states) on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students with grades above 85(80 in some states) would receive an A/B Honor Roll. It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all As or As and Bs.In high school, this is changed a bit, but still can be classified as the same type of award. The difference is that instead of using the scale(等级) of 100, they use a grade point average(GPA) based on a 4 point scale. They recognize students with a high GPA as “Honor Students”. If the students keep it up for all four years of high school, then they graduate with honors.Another notable award is the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence. This is given by the Presidents Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States. This award is offered to elementary school, middle school and high school students. To be eligible(有资格的) for this award, middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale. High school students must have a GPA of at least 3. 5. Students must also have a high score on a statewide or national standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher. Usually this award is given at the end of the year. It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.However, many people confuse the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence with another award, the US Presidential Scholars Program. Even though both have the word “President” in the title, they are completely different awards. Where the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence is relatively easy to achieve, the award from the Presidential Scholars Program is not. To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar, a student must be a high school senior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test scores. 体裁：说明文题材：介绍说明主题：美国学校设置的奖项语篇导读：本文主要介绍了美国学校设置的一些奖项以及获得这些奖项需要满足的条件。8If, in most of the schools in the US, a student in Grade 5 wants to get an A Honor Roll, he/she must get all averages of a(n) _.A93B85 C90D80【解析】A细节理解题。根据第二段第四句可知，在美国大多数学校，想要获得A Honor Roll，平均分必须在93分或以上，故选A项。9From the passage we know that the students who _ can graduate with honors.Akeep up the grades of 100 in high school for more than one yearBget averages of 100 in high school for all four years of high schoolCget a high GPA in high school for more than one yearDare recognized as “Honor Students” for all four years of high school【解析】D细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，如果学生能连续四年获得“优秀学生”的称号，就能带着荣誉毕业，故选D项。10If high school students are to win the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence, which of the following statements should be included?AAn average grade of 90 or above on a 100 point scale.BA recommendation from a teacher.CA GPA of at least 3.5 in a national standardized test.DA high school senior with outstanding standardized test scores.【解析】B细节理解题。根据第四段第五、六句可知，B项为条件之一。11The best title for this passage may be “_”AAwards in elementary and middle schoolsBAwards in schools of the United StatesCHow high schools reward their studentsDIts easy to win awards in schools【解析】B主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，本文讲述的是美国学校设置的一些奖项以及获得这些奖项需要满足的条件。B项能概括文章内容，适合做标题，故选B项。.阅读填空(七选五)Raising Confident KidsSelfesteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves.
