(时间:120分钟 总分:150分)
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分60分) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
We don’t know how dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ferent our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
1. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050
A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
2. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, which of the following will happen in 2050
A. The relationsh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ip between people will be more important than today.
B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How people will communicate in the year 2050
B. What our life will be like in the year 2050
C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050
D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050
B
Sixth-grader Ivory Kel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly finished up an English assignment at the blackboard. Then ... Ping! Ping! He felt something hitting his head. The 12-year-old knew just who was dissing him. He turned around and shouted at DeAngela Byrd. DeAngela claimed she was innocent. Then she called Ivory a “guinea pig.” “Hosemouth!” he shouted back. Their teacher, Linda Mann, didn’t send them to the principal. She didn’t even make them stand in the hall. Instead, she sent them to work things out in a small storage room. The room is Glengarry Elementary’s mediation center (调解中心).
Mediation in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )school is a way to solve conflicts without having teachers punish students. Kids called mediators are trained to listen to classmates accused of misbehaving or fighting. Without taking sides, the mediators help troubled kids come up with their own solutions. It usually takes no more than 15 minutes.
At Glengarry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 30 students from third through sixth grades are trained to settle fights. After calmly discussing the attack and name calling with sixth-grade mediators, Michael Reese and Tracie Thacker, Ivory and DeAngela signed a promise “not to mess with each other.”
Many U.S. elementar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y schools are starting to give kids more responsibility for discipline. In the past 10 years, one-tenth of the nation’s 86,000 public schools have started programs to resolve conflicts, mostly in middle or high schools. But educators want to begin more mediation programs sooner. They say elementary-age kids are even better at talking about their feelings and deciding on a fair solution than older kids are! When a teacher or principal is not involved, “kids talk more freely,” says Glengarry Principal Loraine Johnson.
So far, mediation s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eems to work well. In one survey of 115 Ohio elementary schools with mediation programs, two out of three noted a decrease in fights, and more than half said fewer kids were being sent to the principal’s office. In New Mexico, reports of bad behavior in elementary schools have dropped 85% since mediation programs began.
4. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “dissing” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. attempting B. insulting C. laughing at D. helping
5. Students trained in the mediation ______.
A. are neutral, never taking sides
B. provide a solution for the troubled kids
C. accuse students of misbehaving or fighting
D. decide on the punishment for misbehaving students
6. Which of the following statements is false
A. Teachers are not mediators and won’t give judgments.
B. Mediation programs in schools seem to reduce misbehavior.
C. Elementary-age c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hildren are able to solve conflicts among schoolmates.
D. Mediation prog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rams encourage students to work with teachers to solve conflicts.
7. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Don’t Mess with Each Other B. A Drop in Misbehavior
C. Keep the Grownup ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s Out of It D. Stricter Discipline Promotes Behavior
C

Envirothon
The Envirothon prog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ram focuses on natural resources knowledge and exposes students to diverse environmental issues, ecosystems, and topography (地形学). The ecology field competition for five-member middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, current environmental issues and aquatics (水上运动). Students work and learn in middle school clubs ·and can compete at local and state level.
Future Problem Solvers
Future Problem Solver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s is an academic club that uses a six-step process to solve problems that may happen in the future. Students who like to “think outside the box” may like this club. Teams made up of four students read future scenes and write up solutions in a booklet using the six-step process. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition.
Builders Club
Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. The members learn by doing, and they learn organization, teamwork, and leadership.
