In the center there are volcanoes several thousand feet high, and 90 percent of its arable land is covered with sugarcane.There were no people living on the island before the Dutch landed on it in 1638. The Dutch abandoned it in 1710, and five years later, the French came and succeeded in planting sugarcane there.

Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.“Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.Not that it was easy. Chevaliers first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.The whole school has joined in to help.Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.28What is the text mainly about?AA special educational program. BA best-selling coffee.CGovernment support for schools. DA new type of teacher-student relationship.29The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to_Araise money for school affairs Bdevelop students practical skillsCdo some research on nutrition Dsupply teachers with drinks30How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzmans opinion of the chi tea?AShe met her in the shop. BShe heard her telling others.CShe went to her office to deliver the tea. D She talked to her on the phone.31We know from the text that Ginger Gray _ Amanages the Dixie P1T program in Kenton CountyBteaches at Dixie Heights High SchoolCsees that the drinks meet health standardsDowns the schools coffee shopDA typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but its mostly for show. In reality, its the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesnt have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to becometake immediate action. If youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.32. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To entertain the audience. B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight. D. To trick the lion.33. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices. B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes. D. They have to do something for show34. What is the authors attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Respectful. D. Supportive.35. When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, youre advised to _A. wait for a better chance B. break your old habitsC. make a quick decision D. ask for clear guidance第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady，gradual increases in the length of the runs. _36_ ，buy the bestfitting，bestbuilt running shoes you can find.
