classes for math, science, english and social studies.the aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart. what they really want to do is to take that top

rush.morgan fleet, a senior at boonsboro high, likes being in the academy. she says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom. she believes this difference seems to prevent

the area and reserves of its forests and was listed as one of the 15 countries preserving the most area of forests by the united nations environment program .reserved man made forests in china totaled 53.84 million hectares(公顷), the forest coverage rate being 18.21 percent . from 1998 to 2001, the central government invested 42.7 billion yuan in central and western china to protect vegetation ( 植被 ),support local farmers financially and promote projects for transforming farmland back to forests and grassland .in 2003 ,the regulations on transforming farmlands back to forest went into official force .the project to reforest farmland has been carried out all over the country .by 2004 ,13.33 million hectares of farmland had been reforested throughout china .another effective measure of forest protection is the natural forest conservation program started in 1998 that stipulated a nationwide end to the cutting of trees in natural forests . as stipulated by the a research report on chinas sustainable ( 可持续的 ) .development strategy on forestry, chinas forest coverage rate is expected to reach 28 percent by 2050 with an added area of 110 million hectares of planted forest .desertification is one of the most severe environmental problems facing china .the area of desertification, which is 2.62 million sq km or about 27 percent of chinas land area, is far beyond the nations total farmland. today, although desertification has been controlled in some areas，it still is expanding at a rate of more than 3,000 sq km every year .the state forestry administration has carried our a nationwide sand control program, which has three stages : the first stage aims to get basic control of desertification by 2010; the second stage aims to reduce the area of desertification every year until 2030; and the third phase aims to raise the nations forest coverage and bring all desertification sources under effective control by the year 2050.31we can infer from the second paragraph that .alaws made to protect the natural forests were not so effectivebthe governments measures to enlarge forest coverage workedcmeasures of protecting forest were not taken in east china dthe cutting of trees in natural forests was legal before 199832the underlined word “ stipulated ”in paragraph two means .aincreased bcontrolledcreducedddemanded33we know from the third

africa every year, but when zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the us, the government politely paid no. “we dont know whether the food is safe,” said zambias commerce, trade and industry minister dipak patel. his worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about americas genetically modified（gm,转基因的）cropsjust last week, eu（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import gm sweet corn from the us ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting. at one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other but when gm techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature. this means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other speciesthey can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk. at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. but there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways. some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced cropspeople in china are also getting worried about gm foods. more than 70 percent of the countrys soybean oil is produced from imported gm soybeans. meanwhile, an investigation last november found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were gm products. the government has begun to introduce a marking system for gm goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them. 36. which is the best title for the passage ? a. gm foods in china b. advantages of gm foods c. the techniques of gm foods d. gm foods, a health risk?37. why has zambia refused the american free maize? a. they worry about the safety of gm foodsb. they decide to follow eu members advice c. their problem of starvation is not serious d. they are too proud to accept free offer38. it has been proved that _. a. gm techniques can increase the production of crops b. gm food is better than naturally produced foods c. only related plans could be crossed with each other d. gm foods are harmful to peoples health 39. which of the following statement is true? a. there is no gm foods in china. b. some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from gm foods. c. chinas government doesnt do anything about gm foods. d. only zambia worries about the safety of gm foods.40. whats the authors attitude towards gm foods? a. supportive. b. doubtful. c. neutral. d. critical.d all parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that its hard to let go of your children. that balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. revolutions are led by the young.good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers basic beliefs. schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used. governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. and they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. the rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. they are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about he lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they dont follow what is expected of them. but the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.41by saying “revolutions are led by the young”, the author indicates that young people are more .aconventionalbcreative c. realistic dheartbreaking42from the second paragraph we know .athe voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the governmentbschools encourage parents to question their education methodscmovement is satisfied with the new leaders attack on the policiesd
