Is help on the way? Just the sight of a test booklet makes some kids sweat. For others, it is a blank answer sheet. Then there are the dreaded words, “Take out your Number 2 pencil.” All these fill 10-year-old Chelsea Logo with fear. “I start to tap my pencil on the desk,” says the fifth grader from Toluca Lake Elementary, near Los Angeles, California. “Then I feel the butterflies in my stomach.”Chelsea is not alone. In a recent survey by KisH, more than 70% of kids ages 9 to 13 said they worry about tests. Its no wonder. Across the United States, public schools give more than 250 million standardized tests each year.Why do kids have to take so many tests? The No Child Left Behind(NCLB) law requires that students in grades 3 through 8 be tested each year. The laws goal is for all students to be at grade level by 2020;2020. Students must pass the tests and meet other requirements or their schools may be shut down.US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wants to change NCLB. But that doesnt mean he favors getting rid of tests. Duncan believes tests should be used mainly to evaluate kids strengths and weaknesses. Tests, Duncan says, should not be used to punish kids or their schools for failure. “The goal is to focus on great teaching and learning,” Duncan said.Under NCLB, each state sets its own standards for students to meet. The result, Duncan says, is that states are making the tests easier. To fix this problem, 48 states are now working together to create common standards. “I want to set a high bar for kids,” Duncan says, “so theyll be in great shape to achieve their dreams.”Like them or not, tests are here to stay. So how can you handle test nerves? Schools are teaching students to relax through deep breathing and stretching. In Oakland, California, Principal Zarina Ahmad of Piedmont Avenue Elementary leads her students in a cheer to get them excited about learning.“Kids are under high pressure,” says Ahmad. “There has to be time for kids to be kids. Still, we need tests to help us assess what students have yet to learn.”56. According to the passage, the NCLB law _.A. is focusing on teaching methods in schoolsB. is requiring schools to make the tests more difficultC. is trying to make schools be responsible for studentsD. aims to evaluate kids strengths and weaknesses by means of tests57. We can learn from the passage that Arne Duncan _.A. is strongly against testsB. suggests closing some schoolsC. is concerned about students developmentD. suggests each state set its own standard58. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _.A. its impossible to get rid of testsB. schools have no good way to deal with students stressC. tests help assess what students have to learnD. schools are aware of students; stress caused by testsBCompanies have been tracking our online behavior for almost as long as theres been an Internet, often using our online footsteps whenever we search, browse or buy online. By monitoring the browsing and buying behavior of consumers who visit their websites, stores are able to better target online and e-mail promotions to what consumers are most likely to buy.Tracking technology has advanced so much that almost all our web habits can be monitored. There are a large number of privacy concerns, and several privacy and consumer groups are urging Congress to enact laws on what data can and cant be collected and for how long.A survey of 1,000 consumers released last month by professors from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California-Berkeley found almost 70% were opposed to online behavioral tracking by advertisers, and even more were opposed after they were told how the tracking was done.But the National Retail Federation says that whatever concerns shoppers may have, theyre not avoiding online shopping because of them. In a survey of 2,600 consumers released last week, NRF asked for the primary reasons why shoppers might not be increasing their online spending this year. Privacy concerns and worries about “online tracking” were named by only 0.1% of shoppers, the smallest factor. The cost of shipping, on the other hand, was the biggest concern, with almost 23% citing it.Critics argue that people arent more worried because they dont understand how sweeping the tracking can be, while industry officials argue those who worry often dont recognize the benefits.Victoria Thornton of Dayton, Ohio, says she appreciates getting ads based on what shes searched for online, but she is concerned about “personal information being stored and rerouted.” Her mother feels even more strongly, she says, “The thought of something documenting and then anticipating(预期) my interests upsets me.”Natoli, who has an eBay store, isnt worried. She likes it when Ann Taylor and Victorias Secret suggest other things she might like to buy and has bought more from both stores. And the targeted promotions she gets from booksellers Barnes & Noble and Borders really can resonate(引起反响). She says one of them recently sent her an e-mail saying, “Whats the matter? You dont like books anymore?” It included an offer for $20 off her next purchase.“So of course, I had to order,” she says, laughing.59. We can learn from the two surveys that _.A. most consumers disliked being tracked by advertisersB. few advertisers knew how online tracking was doneC. online spending has increased by 0.1% this yearD. the cost of shipping has dropped by 23% this year60. The underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to _.A. professorsB. advertisersC. concernsD. shoppers61. It can be inferred from the passage that “An Taylor” is _.A. an online storeB. a friend of NatolisC. a booksellerD. an advertiser62. What is the subject discussed in the passage?A. Online searching habits.B. Online behavioral tracking.C. The future of online stores.D. Advantages of online advertising.CIt spins. It grows. Its a huge, floating “garbage patch”, sometimes referred to as the “eighth continent”.Located in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii and measuring roughly twice the size of Texas, this strange mass is home to hundreds of species of sea life and is constantly expanding. Without an official title, it is known as “The Great Pacific Garbage patch”. The island consists almost entirely of man-made trash. It currently weighs approximately 3.5 million tons, 80 percent of which is plastic.The air movement is further trapping the garbage. “With the winds blowing in, its the perfect environment for trapping,” according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle.The garbage is doing what could be irreparable(不可弥补的) harm to sea life, the water its in, and eventually humans.Though plastic can break down into smaller and smaller pieces over time, its original molecular composition wont change. The result is a great amount of fine plastic sand that looks like food. Unfortunately, that cannot be digested, so sea birds or fish can eventually starve to death with a stomach full of plastic, for the plastic sand in a creatures body contains poisonous chemicals.According to Chris Parry of the California Coastal Commission, regrettably little can be done about the patch. “Cleaning it up isnt an optionits just going to get bigger as our dependence on plastics continues,” said Parry. “The long-term solution is to decrease plastic production at home and change our consumption habits.”Cleaning up the patch will likely cost billions of dollars and, as a matter of fact, be more difficult than vacuuming(用真空吸尘器清扫) every inch of the United States. So far, no country has come up with a solution, possibly because no nation wishes to claim responsibility.63. Which of the following is TRUE about the “eighth continent”?A. Its a floating home to lots of wildlife. B. Eighty percent of it is covered with garbage.C. Its an island rising from the bottom of the Pacific. D. Its smaller than California but larger than Hawaii.64. According to paragraph 5, sea birds on the garbage patch may die because _.A. the plastic in their body is poisonousB. they are hunted by humansC. they drink water polluted by plasticD. they cant find food65. To solve the problem, Chris Parry suggests that we _.A. break down plasticB. use something else in place of plasticC. clean up the patchD. call for all the nations to claim responsibility66. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the garbage patch causes no harm to humans currentlyB. no effective measures have been taken to get rid of the garbage patchC. the garbage patch stays the same size in the past several yearsD. dealing with the garbage patch is virtually easyDComrades, I dont think I shall be with you for many months longer, and before I die, I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired. I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall(牲畜棚), and I think I may say I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living. It is about this that I wish to speak to you.What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we
