The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents, who argue that the burden is too great, places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa)is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November."We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared", said Jos Luis Pazos, president of Ceapa. "Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be. It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day. For us, that's an unacceptable situation".Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future. They should be. happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably(难以理解地). The model needs to change because society has changed.Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day, which varies from region to region and school to school, but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm. However, schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments. They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.25.Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?A. To stop school violenceB. To ask for longer school timeC. To say no to heavy homework loadD. To request equal education for their kids26.Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?A. Longer school hours will ensure better gradesB. Happiness is the most important thing for a childC. Huge amounts of homework means a better futureD. The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children27.Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?A. CeapaB. The OECDC. Regional governmentsD. Each individual schoolCGrowing up in Wyoming everyday life was an adventure-I spent my time camping, and exploring mountains. When I was little my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall. I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men. Under her influence I made up my mind to achieve something great. Now I've become famous for sailing, a sport often considered "a man's world".Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport. And generally, there are only two ways to get into it-either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.In the summer of 2008, I went to St. Croix through a college internship(实习) program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs. There I discovered my love for sailing. Then SCA a global hygiene(卫生保健) company, made the decision to support an all-female team and when they began accepting applications, I knew it was the chance of a lifetime. I made it my task to become a part of the team. Even when it seemed like there were no positions left, I never gave up. After a stressful, two-year application process, I finally got the call. I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately. The process was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, but I finally achieved my goal. I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience. Later there was an all-female team competing and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.As women, we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men, because we do. There are plenty of professions, including sailing, in which women are absent or have a minor presence-but that's not because they shouldn't be there. We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions, no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.28.Why does the author mention her mother in Paragraph 1?A. To compare with her motherB. To describe women's strugglesC. To analyze her mother's successD. To show her mother's influence on her29.What does the underlined word "both" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Two traditional ways to become professional sailorsB. Two important persons in the author's lifeC. Two basic stages of being a sailorD. Two famous professional sailors30.What is the correct order of the following events?a. I began training with the sailing teamb. I attended a college internship programc. I took part in competing in an all-female teamd. I discovered my love for sailing as a womanA. b-d-a-cB. d-a-c-bC. a-c-d-bD. a-d-c-b31.Which can best describe the author?A. HumorousB. GenerousC. PessimisticD. DeterminedDThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled(芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, ”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is asmuch about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A. Deciding on a proper sleep positionB. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC. Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyD. Finding a right time to go to sleep33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .A. the y circle around on their bikesB. they use microcomputers without a stopC. they exercise in one place for a long timeD. they watch a movie while pedaling34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .A. their senses stop workingB. they have to stand up straightC. they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD. their brains receive contradictory messages35.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB. how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC. whether they can recover after returning homeD. whether they are able to go back to the station第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
