Take 200 boys, 31 the ages of 12 and 16, investigate their background and environment, and then predict their chances for the future. The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling much data, 32 (conclude) that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in jail. Twenty years later another group of students 33 (give) the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the 34 area. The boys were now men. Some still lived there, many had died, the others had moved away, 35 the researchers finally contacted 180 of the original 200. Their findings showed that only four of the group had ever been sent to jail. Why was it 36 these men, who had lived in a breeding place of crime, had such a 37 (surprise) good record? The researchers were told: “There was a teacher” They finally found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same women. The researchers went to her, now 38 (live) in a house for retired teachers. How had she exerted this remarkable influence on that group of children? Could she give them any reason 39 these boys still remembered her? “No,” she said, “no, I really couldnt.” And then, thinking back over the years, she said musing (沉思) 40 to herself than to her questioners, “I loved those boys” 阅读 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A In western countries , young people sometimes take a “gap year” , a year off between high school and college .Charles Deacon , dean of admissions at Georgetown University in Washington , D. C. says the most common reason is to have a chance to travel . But he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty .Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education . But it can also give students a chance to explore their interests . Students who think they want to be doctors , for example , could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital for a year .Many colleges and universities support gap year projects by permitting students to delay their admission . Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy .The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “ Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation” . It praises the idea of taking time off to step back , think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies .Of course , a gap year is not for everyone . Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college . And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off . Another concern is money . A year off , away from home , can be costly . Holly Bull is the president of the Centre for Interim Programmes . Her company specializes in helping students plan their gap year .

After all, McDonalds Golden Arches span the globe. But no, there is another truly universal fast food, the ultimate（极好的）fast food. Its easy to make, easy to serve, much more varied that the hamburger, can be eaten with the hands, and its delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants. Its been one of Americas favourite foods for over 50 years. It is, of course, the pizza.Its kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”. It gradually evolved over the years, but one things for certainits been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread as plates came from the Greeks. The called them plakuntos and ate them with various simple toppings such as oil, garlic, onions, and herbs. The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it picea. By about 1000 a.d. in the city of Naples, picea had become pizza and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies, and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the world. In 1889, King Umbertoand Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. They invited pizza maker, Raffele Esposito, to make it for them. He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named Pizza Margherita in her honour.Pizza migrated to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World War and raved about that great Italian dish. Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.46.When did pizza become really popular in the United States?A. after 1945B. at the end of nineteenth century C. in 1905D. in 188947.What do the Italian flag and a Pizza Margherita have in common? A. There is a picture of a Pizza Margherita on the flag.B. They have the same colours.C. Both of them represent Italy.D. They are as popular as each other in Italy.48.Which one is the correct timeline of the evolvement of pizza?A. pizza, plakuntos, piceaB. picea, plakuntos, pizzaC. plakuntos, pizza, piceaD. plakuntos, picea, pizza49.Why are Mexico and Peru important in the development of pizza?A. Because pizza was invented in these countries.B. Because the people in these countries are the greatest consumers of pizza in the world.C. Because one kind of toppings was brought to Italy from these countries. D. Because pizza first became popular in these two countries.50.Which one is the best title for the passage?E. McDonalds and PizzaF. The Popularity of Pizza in the United StatesG. Global PizzaH. How to Make PizzaC Even though orbiters have eyed it from space and landers have rumbled across its surface, Mars still has more secrets to reveal. Two findings emerged this week: the possibility of an active glacier far from the planets poles and evidence that sulfur - rather than carbon - was the element driving the planets warmer climate long ago. Both discoveries could force some rethinking about Martian evolution and dynamics - and maybe even provide insights about Earths past.The glacier discovery was announced Wednesday by the European Space Agency (ESA). A high-resolution stereo camera aboard ESAs Mars Express spacecraft spotted the feature in a region called Deuteronilus Mensae, located in the mid-north latitudes of the planet. The Mars Express science team drew the preliminary conclusion that the material in the feature is water ice and that it accumulated as recently as 10,000 years ago, probably from an underground source. Other deposits of water ice have been mapped at the martian poles, but theyre much bigger and are millions of years old. The find is a surprise because the prevailing view is that any water reaching the martian surface from underground quickly evaporates(蒸发)and eventually drifts into space. Yet all of the physical characteristics of the feature are “consistent with that of a glacier,” says geologist and team member Ronald Greeley of Arizona State University in Tempe.Meanwhile, in the 21 December issue of Science, a team from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a possible solution for the curious absence of carbon-based minerals on Mars. A buildup of carbon dioxide in the ancient martian atmosphere supposedly produced enough of a greenhouse effect to allow liquid water to flow for a time on the surface. The problem is that such a process should have deposited ample carbon-containing minerals on the planets surface - something that hasnt been found. So the researchers have come up with a new explanation: Large amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere, the result of early volcanic activity, captured enough heat to allow water to flow. This would explain the plentiful distribution of sulfates among martian minerals.51. The main cause of the warm climate on Mars is _.A. water ice B. carbon C. sulfur D. active glacier52. Which of the following shows that the find of the glacier discovery is a surprise? A. Any water reaching the martian surface will quickly evaporate and drift into space. B. It is known to all water, or of similar physical characteristic cant exist on the Mars. C. There seems to be an active glacier located in the mid-north latitudes of the Mars. D. The water ice accumulated at the martian poles is bigger than what it used to be.53. What can be learned from last paragraph? A. The researchers can clearly explain the reason for the absence of carbon-based minerals on Mars.B. The large amount of carbon dioxide led to greenhouse effect, which allowed the liquid water to flow.C. The sulfur dioxide, which led the water to flow, was produced by the volcano eruption long time ago.D. More than half of the minerals on Mars studied by the researchers at present are related to carbon.54. What is probably the title of the passage?A. The red planet still packs surprises B. The possibility of a glacier on Mars C. The main key to the warmth on Mars D. Water may exist on the mysterious planet55. Where does the passage probably come from? A. Travel & Fashion B. Economy & FinanceC. Animal & Botany D.
