The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 1 sixty hours of service learning, 2 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 3 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 5 about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 6 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 7 their own interests and become 8 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 9 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 10 , students can explore possible careers 11 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 12 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 13 problems with the new requirement. First, they 14 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 15 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 16 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 17 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.18 , I don’t believe you should force people to help others – the 19 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 20 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark——alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump——convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn't. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.
The recall may hurt Symbion Inc., maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won't end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned mode is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection. Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient's chest. The first sample products aren't expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they'll work---and that America's overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (开支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation's health.
11. According to the passage, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart proved to be _____.
A. a technical failure B. a technical wonder
C. a good life-saver D. an effective means to treat heart disease
12. From the passage we know that Symbion Inc. _____.
A. has been banned by the government from producing artificial hearts
B. will review the effects of artificial hearts before designing new models
C. may continue to work on new models of reliable artificial hearts
D. can make new models of artificial hearts available on the market in 10 to 20 years
13. The new models of artificial hearts are expected _____.
A. to have a working life of 10 or 20 years B. to be set fully in the patient's chest
C. to be equipped with an external power source D. to create a new passage for infection
 14. The word "them" in Line 7, Para. 2 refers to _____.
A. doctors who treat heart diseases B. makers of artificial hearts
C. America's health-care programs D. new models of artificial hearts 
15. Some people feel that _____.
A. artificial hearts are seldom effective
B. the country should not spend so much money on artificial hearts
C. the country is not spending enough money on artificial hearts
D. America's health-care programs are not doing enough for the nation's health

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win­win situation all around.”
They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three­year waiting list.
George C．Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.
本文叙述了由于生活费用增高，加上经济下降，越来越多的人开头自己种菜，并且现在人们开车少了，旅游少了，有更多的时间来种菜，削减生活费用。
1. What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A．chickens B．tomatoes
C．gardens D．people
答案：A。词义猜想题。由上文的a chicken house(鸡舍)可知，它的居民应当是小鸡，故A项正确。
2．Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?
A．More Americans are doing it for fun. B．The price of oil is lower than before.
C．There's a growing need for fruits. D．The cost of living is on the rise.
答案：D。细节理解题。由短文其次段第一句话可知，由于生活费增高，经济下降，越来越多的人们开头自己种菜。故D项正确。
3．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Family Food Planning B．Banking on Gardening
C．A Belt­tightening Move D．Gardening as a Hobby
答案：B。主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了由于生活费用增高，经济下降，迫使人们自己种菜来削减开支。A项意为：家庭食物方案；B项：依靠种菜；C项：紧缩腰带运动；D项：把种菜当做爱好。

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题（第61-- 65题）．。请从以下选项（A、B、C、 D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．An apple a day keeps the doctor away．
B．Taking a swim after eating will threat your life,
C．Eating more carrots improves your health．
D．Going out in the cold with wet hair causes sickness．
E．Lightning never strikes the same place twice．
F．More crime occurs during a full moon．
Old Wives' Tales Proven Untrue
We all grew up with sayings that were intended to frighten us into being good or convince us to eat better．Looking back, some of these childhood proverbs don’t even make much sense．（Ever hear the claim that swallowed gum stays in your stomach for seven years? Uh-huh, sure．）However, there are quite a few out there that people still believe in．That's why we decided to investigate some common old wives' tales to see how they hold up under scientific scrutiny．From the moon's affect on crimes to the true causes of colds, this list is sure to surprise even the most enlightened among you．
61．
False: Countless kids were scared into thinking that if they went back in the water less than 60 minutes after eating, they would suddenly cramp up （the muscles get suddenly tightened） and drown．But according to MayoClinic．com, it's perfectly safe to swim after you eat a light meal or snack． The site does recommend taking a short break after eating a big meal, however, not because of cramping, but due to extreme lack of energy． As is known to us all, after eating, more of our blood goes to help the digestive system．
62．
Partially True: This saying has been around since before the discovery of an apple's vital nutrients: Vitamin C and polyphenols．Regardless, the core of the matter is that while this fruit will help keep you well, it's not always enough to keep you out of the medical danger zone; When you're ill, your body requires nutrients from all the different types of food in a well-balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, yogurt, protein and, of course, chicken soup．Only one kind of specific fruit or food can not solve all the problems．
63．
False: According to the National Weather Service, lightning can strike the same place numerous times, especially if it's a tall, pointed and isolated object． For example, the EmPire State Building, a skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, New York City, USA, which was for long the tallest building in the world, 'is hit an average of 25 times a year． That is the reason why it was once used as a lightning laboratory． Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the thunderstorm and laughs at two inches of rubber!
64．
False: Neither wet nor dry hair significantly increases your chances of getting sick．WebM D.com says colds are solely caused when viruses are passed from one person to another, so you should be more concerned with how often you wash your hands, not your hair． A proper way to keep healthy is to develop good personal habits of life．Prevention is always the best cure, better than any drug and treatment．
65．
False: Many interesting things are thought to increase during a full moon emergency room visits, accidents, ability to have babies, werewolves．Almost all these phenomena are attributed to the Lunar Effect, which tries to link unusual, unbelievable, or unacceptable behavior and the phases of the moon． However, according to myth-buster and syndicated columnist, Cecil Adams, there is no truth at all behind the theory．
