Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. W hen the assigned time was up, asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl s aid after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said a nother.This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Mid dle School in ’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distra ctions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from exp ensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little ev idence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on thei r curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting att ention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and scie nce classes.But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of lear ning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether t here are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument th at boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and scienc e when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “O ne of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for th e adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult wor ld.”61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.B. To show how the students behave in class.C. To show how the two lessons are different.D. To show how the class activities are organized.62. Why does teach students separately?A. Because single-sex classes are popular in .B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classe s.D. Because it is a private and expensive school.63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their stu dy.C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .65. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classesD. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed furt herCEnergy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you t hink so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has b een the dream of American president for decades, and never m ore so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil pric e shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great rec ession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concept s that are rarely though through. What is it we want independen ce from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that o ld from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels c ause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast ar eas of the are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environm ental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy productio n in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficien cy, and when we buy things from places that have lower produc tion costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the is also a large exporter of oil products, sell ing about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to abo ut 90 countries.There is no question that the imports a great deal of energy an d, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. Wh en that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies andhigher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic b enefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world m arket and when we engage in energy trade around the world.66. What does the author say about energy independence for ?A.It sounds very attractive. C.It will bring oil prices down.B.It ensures national security. D.It has long been everyone’s dr eam.67. What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep ’s economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment.68. Why does rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment complete.D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.69. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C. It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the importance of energy conservation.B.To excite Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C.To defend ’s dependence on oil imports.D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are j ust trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are ove rweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic resu lts. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight whe n you stop your weight loss program. This is because such prog rams are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98 %. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only wayto lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercis e.Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion size s, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try us ing a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your mea l for later.You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions i n your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting l ow-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You ca n easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't n ecessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weig ht loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand insteadof running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your ris k of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.Title: 71Ⅰ.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this ye ar—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes . Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates a nd 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans t o spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an ave rage $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the y ear for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in anews release that year after year the trend is the same."It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first ce lebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in , explained that children r elate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in th e family."We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to pow er, business, or money."81. How will 22 percent of Americans celebrate Father's Day?
