21、To most of us，school means classes，teachers，schedules，grades，and tests.But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts，school is very different.

Firstly，there are no lessons.All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want.There are no teachers—only “staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want to learn anyway.“You do not need to say to a three year­old，‘Go explore your environment.'You can't stop them！” says Daniel Greenberg，a founder of the school.“But if you make children do what you want all day，they will lose all taste for learning.”

At Sudbury Valley School，you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees or just run around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!

The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules.Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four­year­olds.They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget，and even which staff they want and do not want any more.

When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would never work.But today，the school has 200 students，and 80%of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today.One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

【1】What is the main topic of the article?

A．An unusual school.

B．Children's hobbies.

C．A school without rules.

D．Education in the US.

【2】What does the school believe?

A．Teachers cannot teach children Well.

B．Children learn best when they do what they want to do.

C．Learning is for adults—children should only play.

D．Children should only learn about one thing at a time.

【3】What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-­year-­olds?

A．They love learning.

B．They are very naughty.

C．They want to be outside all the time.

D．They are too young to learn anything.

【4】Who has the most power in the school meetings?

A．The older children have more power than the younger children.

B．A child has more power than an adult.

C．The younger children have more power than the older children.

D．Everybody has equal power.

22、Can people in developing countries benefit from free trade? I quite think so. The most common advantage of free trade is fewer or no barriers between countries. This allows a freer flow of labor and goods between member countries. As free trade agreements become more common around the world, the positive influence on developing countries has been considered as one of the greatest successes of them. There are several advantages for developing countries that take part in free trade.

As developed countries are able to move their operations into developing countries, new job opportunities open up for local workers. Increased levels of employment lead to a higher standard of living and more consumer purchasing. This finally does good to the country's economy and may help to develop locally-owned businesses. As locally-owned businesses develop, more local people can find jobs there.

Child labor exists in developing countries for many reasons, but one of the main reasons is lack of technology. Free trade allows companies to spend more money on equipment and pay higher wages to adult workers. With higher family incomes, children are able to attend school rather than work.

Not only does free trade allow foreign-owned companies to establish themselves in developing countries, it also allows native companies to sell products to foreign markets. This is particularly true for small businesses in developing countries. These companies no longer have to worry about barriers to market entry and can sell their products freely.

An increase in employment levels and incomes in developing countries can lead to better medical care there. The final result is an increase in the average life span and a drop in infant deaths.

As is shown above, we can say that free trade really benefits developing countries.

【1】What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Positive advantages.

B．Developing countries.

C．Free trade agreements.

D．Barriers between countries.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, free trade allows developing countries to have ________.

A．more higher-skilled jobs

B．higher employment rates

C．higher market competitiveness

D．more foreign-owned companies

【3】If developing countries take part in free trade, children there ________.

A．don't have to work

B．can receive higher wages

C．don't have to attend school

D．can learn more about new technologies

【4】What does the writer mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 4?

A．Small businesses can get more skilled employees.

B．Free trade provides small businesses with new markets.

C．Foreign-owned companies can sell their products to developing countries.

D．Free trade can lead to greater competition between foreign and local companies.

24、Everyone has done experiments in high school laboratories，but have you ever thought about designing a satellite to explore space？

On Nov．19，a team of students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in the US awed peers and even scientists by successfully launching a satellite．

The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record   setting．28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in Virginia，CNN reported． It took the students seven years to build．

The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Sat，which is named after their school．It is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 0．89 kilograms，according to Orbital Sciences，a company which developed the rocket and supported the students’ project．It can be controlled with a smartphone．

Like most satellites，TJ3Sat can send and receive datA． The small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (合成器)，which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio waves，said Orbital officials．In this case，anyone can give it a try via the project’s website (school website) by submitting (提交) a text．The texts that get approved will be sent to the satellite，changed to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves．

“I can say ‘Go Colonials’on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the world，in India，someone can hear‘Go Colonials’over the radio，”the team explains on the website．

The satellite will stay in space for at least three months．

School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare time．Later it became a research project for a select group of seniors．

At a time when American students are busy with SATs，the launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiosities，Glazer said．

“It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,” Andrew Petro，program executive (主管) for small spacecraft technology at NASA，said in a statement．“I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraft．The idea here is that they really can do that．”

【1】The underlined word “awed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____．

A. influenced

B. amazed

C. delighted

D. inspired

B. Besides TJ3Sat，28 other small satellites were built by the students．

C. TJ3Sat can receive text messages that the students send into space，which can be changed to voice messages and broadcast back to Earth．

D. TJ3Sat is expected to stay in orbit for the next year，sending out messages together with information about its position in space．

【3】According to the article，the launch of the satellite _______．

A. is evidence of the advance of spacecraft technology

26、读后续写

“What a lovely place for a summer vacation, said my friend Allison, as we stood on the cliffs of the coast. I nodded as my eyes rested on the lighthouse of a cliff （悬崖）connected to the mainland. Suddenly I heard a voice, ＜4Good morning,“ Turning around, I saw Allison's sister, ten-year-old Jenny. "What do you want to do? We have the whole day free,” she shouted.

“What about rowing our boat to the lighthouse?” I suggested.

The idea was met with favor and we went down the rest of the way to the beach. There our boat lay pulled up on the beach. Allison and Jenny quickly got into the boat as I pushed it into the calm waters.

We set out at a slow speed towards the lighthouse. We were about one-fourth of a mile away from the lighthouse when, to my surprise, a huge black cloud was forming out at the sea and rapidly heading for our way. We looked and my heart almost stopped beating. I began rowing for the shore at a speed which would have won my race I ever entered.

Big waves danced on the sea which I had seen so calm an hour before.

“Better put our life jackets on!” Allison advised.

Jenny quickly reached under her seat and pulled out three life jackets. She put one on, and then handed another two to Allison and me. Rowing quickly, I couldn't stop to put mine on. Jenny did the task. I tried my best to row, but with waves crashing against the boat, it was no easy task.

“Do you think we will turn over?^^ cried Allison's voice above the wind.

How I wanted to say no. Instead, I told the truth, t4We might, so prepare to swim for it.”

Jenny didn't say anything, but I knew she was frightened. Suddenly she cried out, “A big wave is coming!”

注意：

1.续写词数应为150词左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Allison tried to turn the boat so we would hit the wave head on, but it was in vain.
