Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.

Originally from tropical South America, the red fire ant gained entry to the United States through the port of Mobile, Alabama in the late 1930s on cargo ships, but the first colony of the red ants was not found until 1942 by a 13-year-old boy in his backyard.
It immediately began to thrive in the new land and colonies spread quickly throughout the southeastern states. By 1975 the red imported fire ant had colonized over 52 million hectares of the United States. Now, it has infested more than 275 million hectares in the country.
Red imported fire ants build mounds in any type of soil. They also make mounds indoors. Each nest used to have but one queen, but now many mounds are often found with multiple queens. With multiple queens at work, its population increases rapidly. It’s common to find a nest with over 25,000 workers.
Red imported fire ants can cause a number of problems. They construct their colonies on precious farmland, invading crops while searching for insects underground. They also like to make their mounds in sunny areas, heavily infesting lawns and pastures. They can quickly strip fruit trees of their fruit. Small birds such as baby quails are fair game to the expanding colony. They appear to be attracted to electromagnetic fields and attack electrical insulation or wire connections. They can cause electrical shorts, fires, and other damage to electrical equipment. Worst of all, their stings can be fatal to livestock and humans.
45. When was the first nest of the red ant found in the United States?
A. In 1930s. B.In 1942. C.In 1975. D. After 1975.
46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A. Each nest of the red ant has one queen.
B. The red ant was originally found in North America.
C. The red ant can reproduce young ants very quickly.
D. The red ant does not build mounds inside the house.
47. What kinds of problems can the red ant cause?
A.Health, social, and agricultural.
B.Health, social, and environmental.
C.Social, environmental, and agricultural.
D. Health, agricultural, and environmental.
48. What is the purpose of the article?
A.To ask for help to kill the red ant.
B.To urge people to protect the red ant.
C.To provide information about the red ant.
D.To seek help from the government to control the red ant.
C
Bill and Louise Marshall had thought that their daughter wasn’t being challenged intellectually(智力上)in school .The Kleins were angry that their son Robert was being hurt on the playground. Ann Price’s son spent hours every night doing homework that she thought was point-less.
The solution(解决办法)?In the past, these parents might have sent their kids to another school, hoping for an improvement .Now this is changing. They are teaching their children at home ,and they are not alone.
Over 850,000 children are now taught at home in America .Until recently ,it was mostly done by religious fundamentalists(信奉正统派基督教的人)and extreme leftists(极左派)，who didn’t agree with the ideas that were taught in public schools. Now, more and more ,it’s middle-class parents who are teaching their children at home.
These parents all have their own reasons .Some don’t like the problems with public schools and the cost of private schools. Some say that the classroom system is bad for children who are very smart but may have some learning problems, or are just different from other children. Many other parents don’t like the new testing laws. They think that this makes schools merely prepare children for tests rather than educate them..
Some social trends(趋势)have also made home schooling more common .For example more and more middle-class women are leaving their jobs to become stay-at-home mothers. They like spending more time with their children, and they say home schooling is better.
“My son has piano lessons, math club, the soccer team—you name it,” says one mother. “I realized that his time in school was a waste. Now we do that at home, and he learns more in half the time. Taking him out of
school is the best thing I ever did.”
49. Which of the following can you infer from the passage?
A.Fundamentalists and extreme leftists are the major groups who like this kind of schooling.
B.The modern school education tends to be out of date.
C.Parents are more willing to spend their time educating their children than working.
D.Home schooling is the best way to educate children.
50. What is the article mainly talking about?
A. Parents in America come up with a good idea of how to teach their children.
B. Reasons for the prevalence（流行）of home schooling in America.
C. Parents are strict on their children’s learning.
D.Children’s performance in school can-not satisfy their parents.

The Port of Shanghai, a hub（中心）of water-land transport and trade on China’s coast since the Song Dynasty early in mid-twelfth century, is the biggest port on China’s mainland for international shipping. The annual cargo throughput(吞吐量) of the port hit another record high of 176 million tons in 1993. The volume of International containers has reached the historical highest point.
52. ____________________________________
By now the Port of Shanghai has established maritime trade relations with more than 400 ports in over 160 countries and regions in the world, with 21 international regular lines starting from the port on over 100 voyages per month directly to North America, Europe, Australia, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean as well as Southeast and Northeast Asia and so on.
53. ____________________________________
Following the continuous and steady new growth in China’s national economy, the Port of Shanghai has, over the six years from 1988 to 1993, made an investment of RMB￥2.3 billion in capital construction and renovation(革新), and updated a large number of handling machines. Both cargo throughput(吞吐量) capacity and handling efficiency of the port have increased remarkably.
54. ____________________________________
Today, the port has become one of the hot spots that attract both attention and investment from other parts of China and the whole world. During his visit in Shanghai in the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping expressed his hope that Shanghai would show some changes every year. Taking this as its objective, the Port of Shanghai has been quickening the steps in its operational and commercial activities as well as construction of deep-water port areas.
55. ____________________________________
The four marginal berths of Waigaoqiao New Port Area have been largely completed and put into operation. Construction of the Luojing Coal Terminal was started at the end of 1993. Grain Silos with a capacity of 80,000 tons and a modern communication building for water traffic are both showing signs of completion. Construction of coastal, domestic and international passenger terminals has substantially entered its initial stage. The deep water port area at Jinshanzui shall open a new chapter in the history of the Port of Shanghai.

Education in China today has been developing rapidly. Most children start school by the age of seven. They spend five or six years in a primary school and three or four years in a junior middle school, which are compulsory education. The students don' t need to take exams before they enter a junior middle school.
After graduation, some study in a professional school for two or three years before work. Most of them attend a senior middle school tot thee years. Students have to pass a series of examinations before, entering a university. Now about 50% of the students can go to university. The university life lasts two or five years, and part of the cost is provided by their families, lint they can get support from the university. After they graduate, they can go and find jobs.
Though great changes have taken place in the education system of China, it still can't meet the needs of the society.

Red imported fire ants build mounds in any type of soil. They also make mounds indoors. Each nest used to have but one queen, but now many mounds are often found with multiple queens. With multiple queens at work, its population increases rapidly. It’s common to find a nest with over 25,000 workers.
Red imported fire ants can cause a number of problems. They construct their colonies on precious farmland, invading crops while searching for insects underground. They also like to make their mounds in sunny areas, heavily infesting lawns and pastures. They can quickly strip fruit trees of their fruit. Small birds such as baby quails are fair game to the expanding colony. They appear to be attracted to electromagnetic fields and attack electrical insulation or wire connections. They can cause electrical shorts, fires, and other damage to electrical equipment. Worst of all, their stings can be fatal to livestock and humans.

Bill and Louise Marshall had thought that their daughter wasn’t being challenged intellectually(智力上)in school .The Kleins were angry that their son Robert was being hurt on the playground. Ann Price’s son spent hours every night doing homework that she thought was point-less.
The solution(解决办法)?In the past, these parents might have sent their kids to another school, hoping for an improvement .Now this is changing. They are teaching their children at home ,and they are not alone.
Over 850,000 children are now taught at home in America .Until recently ,it was mostly done by religious fundamentalists(信奉正统派基督教的人)and extreme leftists(极左派)，who didn’t agree with the ideas that were taught in public schools. Now, more and more ,it’s middle-class parents who are teaching their children at home.
These parents all have their own reasons .Some don’t like the problems with public schools and the cost of private schools. Some say that the classroom system is bad for children who are very smart but may have some learning problems, or are just different from other children. Many other parents don’t like the new testing laws. They think that this makes schools merely prepare children for tests rather than educate them..

“My son has piano lessons, math club, the soccer team—you name it,” says one mother. “I realized that his time in school was a waste. Now we do that at home, and he learns more in half the time. Taking him out of

Education in China today has been developing rapidly. Most children start school by the age of seven. They spend five or six years in a primary school and three or four years in a junior middle school, which are compulsory education. The students don' t need to take exams before they enter a junior middle school.
After graduation, some study in a professional school for two or three years before work. Most of them attend a senior middle school tot thee years. Students have to pass a series of examinations before, entering a university. Now about 50% of the students can go to university. The university life lasts two or five years, and part of the cost is provided by their families, lint they can get support from the university. After they graduate, they can go and find jobs.
Though great changes have taken place in the education system of China, it still can't meet the needs of the society.
