并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result,
all students must
36
sixty hours of service learning,
37
they will not receive a diploma.
Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.
38
of service learning
include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.
39
a
service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a
40
about what they
have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many
41
of service learning. Perhaps most importantly,
students are forced to think
42
their own interests and become
43
of the needs of
others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that
44
responsibility, problem-solving,
and working as part of a team.
45
, students can explore possible careers
46
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. 47
there are many benefits,
opponents (反对者) 48
problems with the new requirement. First, they
49
that the
main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is
time-consuming, students spend
50
time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe
that forcing students to work without
51
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
52
to the community, learn new skills,
and explore different careers.
53
, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the
54
to help must come from the heart. I think the best
55
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.

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的)
about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives.
When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the
women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t
understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to
have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the
screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the
relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body
language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally
spent their days with the other women and children in the group,
they developed the ability to
communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to
have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the
facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other
people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation
with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another
two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked
them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of
Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked
to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond
to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive
speech,we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are
usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
56. While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in
order to
.
A. experience the happy time again
B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot
D. remind her of something forgotten
58. What does the author want to tell us most?
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C. Women Love to Talk
D. Men Talk Differently from Women
B
It was the first mow of winter -- an exciting day for every, child but not for most tether. Up
until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some
help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton,
Ontario, had been through first snow days ,many times in her long career, but I think struggled
still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I straggled with my jacket because it didn’t
fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his
ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it
was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said,
“By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots. ” I didn’t realize at the time that this
was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do
an the work. After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then,
