school in the United States，there will always be an awards ceremony at the end of the year.Though it varies from school to school，there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation.The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award.In elementary and middle school，this award is used to recognize academic excellence.This award is also separated into two groups: A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll.It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states) on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll，and students with grades above 85 (80 in some states) would receive an A/B Honor Roll.It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all As or As and Bs.In high school，this is changed a bit，but still can be classified as the same type of award.The difference is that instead of using the scale (等级) of 100，they use a grade point average (GPA) based on a 4 point scale.They recognize students with a high GPA as “Honor Students”If the student keeps it up for all four years of high school，then they graduate with honors.Another notable award is the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence.This is given by the Presidents Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States.This award is offered to elementary school，middle school and high school students.To be eligible (有资格的) for this award，middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale.High school students must have a GPA of at least 3.5.Students must also have a high score on a statewide or national standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher.Usually this award is given at the end of the year.It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.However，many people confuse the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence with another award，the US Presidential Scholars Program.Even though both have the word “President” in the title，they are completely different awards.Where the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence is relatively easy to achieve，the award from the Presidential Scholars Program is not.To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar，a student must be a high school senior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test scores.8If，in most of the schools in the US，a student in Grade 5 wants to get A Honor Roll，he/she must get at least all averages of a A93 B85C90 D809From the passage we know that the students who can graduate with honors.Akeep up the grades of 100 in high school for more than one yearBget averages of 100 in high school for all four years of high schoolCget a high GPA in high school for more than one yearDare recognized as “Honor Students” for all four years of high school10If high school students are to win the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence，which of the following statements should be included?AAn average grade of 90 or above on a 100 point scale.BA recommendation from a teacher.CA GPA of at least 3.5 in a national standardized test.DA high school senior with outstanding standardized test scores.11The best title for this passage may be “ ”AAwards in elementary and middle schoolsBAwards in schools of the United StatesCHow high schools reward their studentsDIts easy to

around.However，to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department they are a group of invasive (入侵的) species that could end up disrupting the lakes entire ecosystem if not removed soon.The problem lies in the fact that these fish have no enemies.This allows them to reproduce in large numbers.In fact，park officials believe that the 3，000 to 4，000 specimens floating around are all the result of a few unwanted pet goldfish that were dumped into the lake.They estimate the incident occurred about three years ago.As this nonnative species grow in numbers，they compete with the existing fish for food sources.Given that there is only a limited supply of resources，this could result in the goldfish overpowering the native fish species.In the case of Teller Lake，the officials are particularly worried that the goldfish will move downstream and affect the population of some of the endangered native species that live there.Another major cause for concern is the diseases the goldfish may be bringing in.This could be fatal to the native species since they cant fight new illnesses.Fish are not the only unwanted pets that are thrown away.Florida has been fighting an invasion of Burmese pythons and green iguanas.But one of the worst cases recorded is that of the Red Lionfish.They are currently swimming their way to the Atlantic Oceans ecosystem all the way.According to experts，the best way to get rid of unwanted fish or any other animal is to get advice from the people that originally sold them the pet.However，saving one pet often results in destroying the areas ecosystem and hurting other innocent animals.5What can we learn about goldfish from Paragraph 1?AThey arent native to the Teller Lake.BThey attract thousands of visitors every year.CThey make Teller Lake much more beautiful.DThey are destroying the ecosystem in Colorado.6Why do goldfish in Teller Lake grow so rapidly?AThey have no enemies.BThey are unwanted pet.CThey are
