Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime and drug-taking among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting different kinds of fields of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage matters - young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, meaningful involvement, expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment, encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs have a promising future, how they are designed and run matters.21. The effects of quality after-school programs are the following except _.A. improved academic performanceB. decreased high-risk teen behaviorsC. safe and fair environmentD. supporting different kinds of fields of development22. Which kind of students can benefit more from the after-school programs?A. Those who attend occasionallyB. Those who attend a short period of timeC. Those who need help mostD. Those who like to play often23. The passage is probably intended for _. A. students B. teachers C. workers D. government officialsBFor those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest（制服）of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured(忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent “processed (被加工)” at a modern airport. People are conveyed (输送) like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure (离开) and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airline. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing - or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding freely across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.24.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1 ? A. Travel by plane has sped up the growth of villages. B. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams. C. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short. D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.25. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because_ A. they pay less for the tickets B. they dont have to waste time being “processed” C. they can enjoy higher speed of travel D. they feel safer during the travel26. What does the last sentence of the passage mean? A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel. B. They needed the clock to tell the time. C. They preferred travelling on horseback. D. They could travel with their master.27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Air travel benefits people and industries. B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel. C. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost. D. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.CIn many countries, when cows are killed for meat, the heads are put in the waste. That is because many people do not believe meat from a cow head should be eaten. But in South Africa, some people have a strong desire for cow head meat. Many people are selling and eating it in Johannesburg. VOA recently visited a cow-head processing factory in the city.In South Africa, the meat is called “skop.” The men who eat it say it is less costly than other meats and more tasty.Some meat sellers in Johannesburg recently learned how to prepare cow heads for their customers. They remove the skin from the head. Then they use an axe to separate the meat from the bones.William Mahlangu works at a cow head processing factory. Up to 150 cow heads are processed there each day.“This meat is delicious, its tender and its very, very nice meat for men. Even in, even in the old days, like our grandfathers, if they slaughter a cow, the cow head was only for men.”Much of the skop meat is sold to sellers who sell food on the street. But at the factory, they also cook the meat for customers. Then they put the meat on a large table, not on plates. They put hot sauce on it, and a starch called “uPhuthu.”Kenneth Ayudo is a Nigerian food shop owner living in Johannesburg. He says in Nigeria people even eat the skin after they roast it over a fire to remove the hair. Then they wash the skin like a piece of cloth.“Its the way it tastes and there is too much demand for it everywhere now because anyone that eat it wants to eat it again.”Peter Antill goes to a skop restaurant every day. “One thing I can tell you guys is that this is the best you will ever taste in the city Johannesburg.” Because of worries about mad cow disease, which causes the brain to waste, few people in western countries eat cow brains or organs such as livers or kidneys. But South Africas government says mad cow disease has never been found in cows in the country.28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Cows popular in South Africa B. Skop meat popular in South Africa C. Special food in South Africa D. Worries about mad cow disease29. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “slaughter” ?A. raise B. catch C. kill D. fight30. Why do people waste the cow brains according to the passage?A. Because they believe in GodB. Because they have a lot to eatC. Because they dont like them.D. Because they are afraid of getting diseases.其次节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) According to sociologists, every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification (阶层). Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society. _31_ A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. _32_ Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. _33_ For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class. _34_ To our knowledge, there arent too many people who arent millionaires in the U.S. Senate! Status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. _35_A. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.B. Class means a persons economic position in society.C. Managers in big companies all belong to upper class, though.D. Interestingly, a surgeon earning 500,000 a year and a bus driver earning 50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!E. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class.F. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however.G. People with high status have a lot of control over others.三 完形填空 (每小题1分，满分15分) One day a professor was crossing a river in a boat. To pass the time he started talking to the boatman. He told him his several 36 in education. The boatman was 37 listening to the professor since he didnt understand what he was saying to him. After having said many things, the professor got 38 of speaking. He asked the boatman, “Now tell me something about you. Have you ever studied the science of grammar?” “No, I havent.” “Then youve wasted half of your 39. How much education have you got?” “Im not educated much.

It is you who have wasted your life by not learning to swim, because youre going to drown(淹死) in this water.” And he 47 into the water to save himself. Its 48 how we spend our lives and what we value. Only that education is valuable which is useful on the occasion.
