四、阅读判断
In the United States, children start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they leave secondary(中等的) schools. There are two kinds of schools in the United States: public schools and private(私立的)schools . Most children go to public schools. Their parents do not have to pay for their education because the schools receive money from the government. If a child goes to a private school, his parents have to get enough money for his schooling. Some parents still prefer private schools, though they are much more expensive. Today about half of the high school students go to universities after they finish the secondary school. A student at state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. But many students work while they are studying at universities. In this way they develop good working habits and live by their own hands.
31.Children can go to school at the age of four in the U.S.
32.Most parents prefer to send their children to private schools in America.
33.About fifty percent of high school students can go on to universities after they leave the secondary school today.
34.Lots of American students go to universities by depending on their parents completely (完全地).
35.The passage is mainly about American education.

It was a summer afternoon in the countryside. Wan Bo, a university student, was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river. A little boy riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance. It brought them back to their childhood, warm and happy.
“Why not try to make one by ourselves ” said Wan Bo. “You are good at making things and I am interested in painting.”
“Actions speak louder than words,” Tang Qi said. Then, the two young men began to collect some information about it. During those days, watching videos about carving(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.
Several months later, a wooden rocking horse appeared. They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away. To their surprise, it attracted lots of people’s attention and some even hoped to order one.
The two young men thought it might be a good chance. They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey. According to the result, they made each customer a special rocking horse. These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories, and they soon became popular among the customers.
In the first year of their new hobby, Wan and Tang made thirteen rocking horses. Sometimes, they also repaired rocking horses for people. They made the old ones look new again. Wan and Tang helped those people bring back many happy memories.
Their hobby has now become a successful and busy business.

十一、材料作文
One of my favorite toys is a brown-white bear. I have had it for two years.
Two years ago, my father got a new job in another city so I had to go to a new school. I felt sad because I didn’t want to part with my classmates. One of my best friends named Mona gave the toy bear to me. She said although we couldn’t be together, the toy bear could stay with me instead of her. Her words and the lovely toy bear made me feel better.
Whenever I miss my friends, I will look at the toy bear, and it makes me feel happy and warm.
