is to _.a. attract people to explore the universe b.make an advertisement for the museumc. encourage adults to bring their children there d. show what is on display in the museumbas kids, my friends and i spent a lot of time out in the woods. “the woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. if i went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “oh, hes out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. its similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” for us ten year olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.we sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. history seemed to be mostly about explorers. our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an italian burial mound.often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. if you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. there were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.it was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. by then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence（青春期）. in march, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and i set out to go exploring. we climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. soon there would be the spring dances on friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.25. the author and his friends were often out in the woods to _.a. spend their free time b. play golf and other sportsc. avoid doing their schoolwork d. keep away from their parents26. what can we infer from paragraph 2?a. the activities in the woods were well planned.b. human history is not the result of exploration. c. exploration should be a systematic activity.d. the author explored in the woods aimlessly.27. the underlined word “skeptical” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.a. calm b. doubtful c. serious d. optimistic28. how does the author feel about his childhood?a. happy but short. b. lonely but memorable.c. boring and meaningless. d. long and unforgettable.c small seating in the economy-class(经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.a report on a long distance flight from the doctors of vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the planes safety tips in case of emergency, and they were the smallest of the group. and 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. the authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.a spokesman for british airways (ba), which is responsible for safety on all british planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a threat（威胁） to passengers. “we dont think it is a safety matter,” he said, “we have high safety standards and all uk aircraft meet them.” in the past month, both british airways and virgin atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. but that space gained is space lost in economy.until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”with an 86-centimeter seat. scheduled airlines such as ba and klm gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable seats. but the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. singapore airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. it announced free wine for economy passengers last september, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres.economy class on scheduled airlines is now often little better than economy on qatar airways. some qatar airways even offer the chance to upgradeat a priceto seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most scheduled airlines.29. what can we learn from the passage?a. scheduled airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.b. doctors from vienna said less space between seats could cause danger.c. spokesman for ba declared that narrow seat space was a threat.d. qatar airways offered larger seats with no more charge.30. what might be the authors attitude towards reducing the space of economy seats?a. neutral. b. sceptical. c. supportive. d. disapproving.31. where does the passage most probably come from?a. a biography. b. a book review. c. a magazine. d. a realistic novel.d when times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. when were hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. we take buses instead of taxis. and we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. with college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.one cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor s degree in three years instead of four. educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. but theres a question: would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? few us universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.i doubt that mainstream north american colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. for one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). in addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.in my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. a college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. it is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it s not a good idea to water down medicine. if we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. we should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. we should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at northeastern university.32the first paragraph serves as a（n） .aexplanation bcomment cdefinition dintroduction33in most us universities, .acollege students are offered the co - op
