I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year. It was because of Ms. Vacirca 36 I truly understood what I was learning. It might not seem 37 a big deal to some, but to me it is. I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 38.
I never really wanted to work for good 39 in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak out of the classroom 40 Ms. Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 41, “ Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch ” It was a nightmare --- she would always 42 me with one foot out the door, it never 43. Even then I just thought of it as a thing I HAD to do. It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school. She would 44 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 45.
Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag, but 46 they knew that she was right and 47 for it. Many of her tests were hard at first, but as the year progressed they were not to me. I knew that it was because of her.
Even outside class, she was 48 as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my (and everyone else’s) life, and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest.
Ms. Vacirca is a sweet with a sense of 49 that you just have to laugh at. When regents were approaching, she was more concerned than ever about everyone doing well. Many of her precious students 50 high, and so she 51 the same from us. Day after day there were students in the classroom 52 problems. When it was time for our big test, I knew I was ready. I walked out of that test with my head 53. I knew that I was a 54 and Ms. Vacirca had made me that way. I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students. I knew that I would 55 her.

The founder of the Montessori method of education for preschool children, Maria Montessori was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Italy. After receiving her degree in 1894 , she worked with subnormal children as a psychiatrist（精神病专家） at the University of Rome. It was there that she pioneered in the education of retarded children（弱智儿童）, especially through the use of an environment that was rich in manipulative materials. The success of Maria’s program with retarded children led her to believe that the same improvement could be made in the normal preschool children. This led her to open the first day care center in Rome. With its success similar institutions were opened in other parts of Europe and in the USA. In the early part of this century, however, interest in the Montessori method declined because of those who argued that education should be more disciplined . But by the late 1950, the Montessori Method experienced a new age, and in the 1960s the American Montessori Society was formed. The main ideas of the Montessori Method are self-motivation（自我推动） and autoeducation（自动教育）. Followers of the method believe that a child will learn naturally if put in an environment with the proper materials. The teacher acts as observer and only does help if help is needed .Educators in this system are trying to reverse （颠倒）the traditional system of an active teacher and a passive class.
56. The author implied（暗示） that Maria Montessori believes that_______.
children need strong discipline
B. teachers should be very active
C. it’s important that teachers instruct children clearly
D.children will learn by themselves

A. teachers B. rules C. materials D. observers

B
The film starts out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.
But there’s a big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school—shooting and killing people.
This is “Elephant”. Filmed in just 20 days, it stars real high school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound of very high quality , the film won the Palmed’Or（金棕榈奖） for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival in France on May 25.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that’s as hard to ignore （忽略）as an elephant in the house . The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone—fun and friendly, or hard and lonely .In many ways, the two boys , who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy’s mother as the serves them cakes and play the piano.
But, there are hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied（欺负） at school .The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn’t blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games .In fact, the film doesn’t offer any reason for why school violence happens .
“I don’t want to explain anything. It’s up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,” said the 51-year-old director.
60. Who made lines for the actors
A. The director B. The actor’s friends.
C .The actors themselves. D. Nobody, for there were not any lines.
61. How many people are killed in the school shootings in the film
A. 2 B. 15 C. 13 D. Not mentioned
62. What can we learn from the name of the movie “elephant”
A. School shooting is a big issue facing the American society
B. School shooting is hard to believe
C. School shooting attracts the audience a lot
D. School shooting is not that serious as people think
63. Why do the two boys carry out the shooting
A. They are bullied at school B. They play violent video games
C. They are not liked by their parents D. They feel angry inside
C
I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court(法庭).
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me .I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him .And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the
insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that they played for time …..and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America. Firstly in a country like America money is everything .It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides
64. The author’s roommate offered to help him because_______
A. He felt sorry for the author B. He thought it was a chance to make some money.
C. He knew the doctor was a very good one D. He wanted the author to have a good lawyer
65.A good doctor is essential for the author to ________
A. be properly treated B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he leaves America D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
66. The underlines word charge in this passage means________
A. be responsible B. accuse C .ask as a price D. claim
67. What conclusion can you draw from the story
A. Going to court is something very common in America
B. One must be very careful while driving a car
C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides
D. Money is more important than other things in the US
D
The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost – saving ticketless flight no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID. Anyone who buys a Northwest E- ticket through the airline’s computer service by June 16 will get an award. Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb.12,2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper loves. American, Northwest, United and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement to $70 from either $60 or $50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E- tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.
68. Why is the new ticketless flight introduced
A .It is cheaper for air travelers B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines
C. It can use computer to plan air traveling D. It helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets

A. sell their tickets for $99 from June to Februry the following year
B. let travelers go to both the US and Canada with the same tickets

D. offer ticketless travelers free miles to fly in the US

Oceanography has been defined as “ The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”
Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work .
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the questions “What is at the bottom of the oceans ” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s , Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings（测探） were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomason led a scientific expedition（考察）, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea . Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
72. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on________
A. an academic aspect B. a military aspect
C. a business aspect D. an international aspect
73.It was _______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies
A. the American Navy B. some early intercontinental travelers
C. those who earned a living from the sea
D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
74. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was________
A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
75. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”
A. doubted B. gave proof to C. challenged D. agreed to

I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year. It was because of Ms. Vacirca 36 I truly understood what I was learning. It might not seem 37 a big deal to some, but to me it is. I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 38.
I never really wanted to work for good 39 in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak out of the classroom 40 Ms. Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 41, “ Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch ” It was a nightmare --- she would always 42 me with one foot out the door, it never 43. Even then I just thought of it as a thing I HAD to do. It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school. She would 44 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 45.
Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag, but 46 they knew that she was right and 47 for it. Many of her tests were hard at first, but as the year progressed they were not to me. I knew that it was because of her.
Even outside class, she was 48 as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my (and everyone else’s) life, and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest.
Ms. Vacirca is a sweet with a sense of 49 that you just have to laugh at. When regents were approaching, she was more concerned than ever about everyone doing well. Many of her precious students 50 high, and so she 51 the same from us. Day after day there were students in the classroom 52 problems. When it was time for our big test, I knew I was ready. I walked out of that test with my head 53. I knew that I was a 54 and Ms. Vacirca had made me that way. I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students. I knew that I would 55 her.

The founder of the Montessori method of education for preschool children, Maria Montessori was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Italy. After receiving her degree in 1894 , she worked with subnormal children as a psychiatrist（精神病专家） at the University of Rome. It was there that she pioneered in the education of retarded children（弱智儿童）, especially through the use of an environment that was rich in manipulative materials. The success of Maria’s program with retarded children led her to believe that the same improvement could be made in the normal preschool children. This led her to open the first day care center in Rome. With its success similar institutions were opened in other parts of Europe and in the USA. In the early part of this century, however, interest in the Montessori method declined because of those who argued that education should be more disciplined . But by the late 1950, the Montessori Method experienced a new age, and in the 1960s the American Montessori Society was formed. The main ideas of the Montessori Method are self-motivation（自我推动） and autoeducation（自动教育）. Followers of the method believe that a child will learn naturally if put in an environment with the proper materials. The teacher acts as observer and only does help if help is needed .Educators in this system are trying to reverse （颠倒）the traditional system of an active teacher and a passive class.

The film starts out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.
But there’s a big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school—shooting and killing people.
This is “Elephant”. Filmed in just 20 days, it stars real high school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound of very high quality , the film won the Palmed’Or（金棕榈奖） for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival in France on May 25.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that’s as hard to ignore （忽略）as an elephant in the house . The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone—fun and friendly, or hard and lonely .In many ways, the two boys , who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy’s mother as the serves them cakes and play the piano.
But, there are hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied（欺负） at school .The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn’t blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games .In fact, the film doesn’t offer any reason for why school violence happens .
“I don’t want to explain anything. It’s up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,” said the 51-year-old director.
60. Who made lines for the actors
A. The director B. The actor’s friends.
C .The actors themselves. D. Nobody, for there were not any lines.
61. How many people are killed in the school shootings in the film

62. What can we learn from the name of the movie “elephant”
A. School shooting is a big issue facing the American society
B. School shooting is hard to believe
C. School shooting attracts the audience a lot
D. School shooting is not that serious as people think
63. Why do the two boys carry out the shooting
A. They are bullied at school B. They play violent video games
C. They are not liked by their parents D. They feel angry inside
C
I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court(法庭).
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me .I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him .And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the
insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that they played for time …..and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America. Firstly in a country like America money is everything .It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides
64. The author’s roommate offered to help him because_______
A. He felt sorry for the author B. He thought it was a chance to make some money.
C. He knew the doctor was a very good one D. He wanted the author to have a good lawyer
65.A good doctor is essential for the author to ________
A. be properly treated B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he leaves America D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
66. The underlines word charge in this passage means________
A. be responsible B. accuse C .ask as a price D. claim
67. What conclusion can you draw from the story
A. Going to court is something very common in America
B. One must be very careful while driving a car
C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides
D. Money is more important than other things in the US
D
The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost – saving ticketless flight no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID. Anyone who buys a Northwest E- ticket through the airline’s computer service by June 16 will get an award. Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb.12,2000, along with the lowest ticket prices.

American, Northwest, United and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement to $70 from either $60 or $50.

Oceanography has been defined as “ The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”
Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work .
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the questions “What is at the bottom of the oceans ” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s , Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings（测探） were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomason led a scientific expedition（考察）, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea . Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
72. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on________
A. an academic aspect B. a military aspect
C. a business aspect D. an international aspect
73.It was _______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies
A. the American Navy B. some early intercontinental travelers
C. those who earned a living from the sea
D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
74. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was________
A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
75. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”
A. doubted B. gave proof to C. challenged D. agreed to
