The school pays a private school in Pennsylvania to provide oneonone guidance consulting to Chinese students in person three times a year, or longdistance help via Skype and email Germantowns administrators also advise the school on its AP curriculum.The popularity of the program reflects the growing number of middleclass families with the desire and finances, to send their sons and daughters abroad to study.“They know that if the students are going to be players on the world stage, they need to think, create and make revolutionary changes in the same way that kids from Western countries do，” said James Connor, head of school at Germantown.Despite the economic recession, Chinese students still view American education as superior.The number of undergraduates from China on US campuses has surged from 8,659 to 74,516 in the last decade, according to the nonprofit Institute of International Education in New York.“Though China is growing in many ways, a US education is still the best，said Heqing Isabelle Huang, 18，who has applied to five schools: Northwestern，Virginia, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Illinois.Her school, the High School Attached to Capital Normal University, was the first public school of its kind in Beijing when it opened in 2008. Now, there are 10 public schools that offer AP courses, said Liang Yuxue, viceprincipal of the school.She said students must still complete a core curriculum for a high school diploma in China, but they can also select among nine AP courses from US history and English literature to calculus (微积分学)and physics.36What is the main purpose of the article?ATo give some advice on how to pass AP exams.BTo introduce the popularity of the AP program in China.CTo promote the AP program at some public schools.DTo tell why many Chinese students prefer studying in America.37According to the article, Germantown Academy_.Aoffers students instructions and advice for freeBprovides longdistance AP classes to studentsCassigns some teachers to work at the High SchoolDhelps the High School improve its AP curriculum38The underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to_.A. increased sharply B. remained steadyC. reduced quickly D. developed slowly39According to Liang Yuxue_.Aall students at her school are required to take nine AP courses in totalBa US education is superior to other countries despite economic declineCbesides a core curriculum，students at her school can take up AP coursesDthe students apply to US colleges hoping to be educated as foreign kids doBThreequarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year, but this booming industry has come at a price. Poisonous smoke rising from open fires, rubbish made up of plastic bottles, packets.its_a_far_cry_from the white sands, clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫), the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.Of its 200 inhabited islands, which are spread across an area of 35, 000 square miles, 99 are good resorts (度假胜地). So many tourists come every year, more than double the local population. Of these tourists, over 100, 000 travel from the UK. The capital，Mal，is four times more densely populated than London.Given these facts, its hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.Years ago, when the tourists left, the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish. Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground. Four miles west of Mal is the countrys dumping ground, Thilafushi. What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes. Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day. The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.Now, since many waste boats, fed up with waiting seven hours or more, directly offload their goods into the sea, the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island. So, the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.40What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem?A. The big local population.B. Too many waste boats.C. The large number of tourists. D. Open fires on the islands.41The underlined part can probably be replaced by“_”A. its quite similar to B. its a long distance fromC. its a loud shout from D. its totally different from42What can we learn from the text?A. It is much more crowded in Mal than in London.B. Another island will be used as a dumping ground.C. No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives.D. Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea.43Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To attract more tourists to the Maldives.B. To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives.C. To call on us to protect the environment.D. To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives.CBursting into the classroom from recess (课间休息) , 15 children take their seats and face the woman they know as Ms. Yang.“What day is it today？”she asks, in Mandarin Chinese(普通话)“Confucius birthday！”the fifth graders shout in Mandarin.“Why do we celebrate Confucius birthday？”“Because hes the greatest teacher in the history of China！”exclaims a brownhaired girl. She is speaking Mandarin.English is rarely heard in Ms. Yangs class at the Chinese American International School (CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.The United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical languages” such as Mandarin.The students at the CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, the USA, does what few other American schools do: it produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the most commonly spoken language in the world.Mandarin Chinese is suddenly hot in American schools.As China becomes the worlds leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the US are scrambling to add Mandarin to their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.“It really is almost unprecedented(史无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with.and to ensure that the US has the ability to conduct trade and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage，”said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL)To develop Chineselanguage programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers，they often hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the US.Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom. It was not an easy adjustment.“In China, students respect their teachers，”he said. Liu found that American students, however, expect an active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures.To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles，the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the US.44Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Understanding Chinese language and culture is helpful to work with the Chinese.B. Chineselanguage programs have met trouble during the development.C. Many other American schools do the same as the CAIS founded 25 years ago.D. A lack of trained Mandarin Chinese teachers is a problem for the programs.45What kind of problem is the most difficult in teaching Chinese in America?A. To adapt themselves to American lifestyles.B. To communicate with American students.C. To get along well with American students.D. To be fit for the cultural differences in teaching styles.46The meaning of the underlined word “scrambling” is similar to_.A. climbingB. rushingC. changing D. beating47It can be learned from the passage that _.A. the students in Ms. Yangs class usually speak ChineseB. there are few American students in Ms. Yangs classC. we celebrate Confucius birthday because hes the greatest history teacherD. in America the students dont respect their teachersDLondon has always been known for its “black fogs”In the winter of 1952, a milky white fog rolled into the city. As the smoke poured into the air, it was so hard to see that people had to walk in front of the buses to guide them. In this way, the most serious air pollution disaster in history began. When it was over, more than 4,000 people had been killed by the thick black smog.New York City has had several Londontype smogs since 1950. Each time, 100 to 400 deaths were caused by the smog. Although these smogs were not as deadly as Londons, New York City has the worst air pollution problem in the United States. In all the killer smogs, factories and homes poured smoke and fumes into the air from the furnaces. The chemical fumes combined with the water droplets in the fog to form harmful substances. These substances caused the illness of those who breathed the polluted air.Usually, such harmful fumes rise into the upper air and are blown away by the wind. But sometimes there is an unusual weather condition called a temperature inversion. A layer of cold air remains near the ground as smoke and fumes pour into it. This is covered by an upper layer of warm air that acts like a lid.It prevents the polluted cooler air from rising.The harmful fumes pile up and make people ill. The smog may be so thick that airports are closed and chains of collisions occur on the highways.Another type of smog occurs in Los Angeles.Here the weather may be clear and sunny.But stinging eyes and dry coughs show that harmful chemicals fill the air.The smog is due to invisible gases，mostly from automobile exhaust.Because these chemicals are changed by the sun high up in the air，it is called photochemical smog.It contains automobile exhaust fumes and nitrogen oxides changed by the suns rays. Added to these are sulfur dioxide and other fumes from factories and oil refineries. Photochemical smog is found in many large cities all over the world.Killer smogs dont happen very often, fortunately. But in Beijing, a combination of automobile exhaust fumes, home furnace smoke, and factory waste gases pours into the air. This may also happen in the suburbs, or out in the country, where large factories have been built. A number of harmful substances have been found in the air there. When these substances are breathed in day after day, the health of the population is affected.48Why do people call this phenomenon “black fog”？A. It is black and dirty.B. It can affect the health.C. It can kill people. D. It is too thick for people to see something.49What can reduce the air pollution according to the passage?A. Water.B. Wind.C. The sun.D. Cold air.50When photochemical smog happens in the city，_.A. many people will be killedB. black smoke may pour into the airC. the weather may be fine D. people have to walk to work第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Communication is a vital key to meaningful and successful interactions (互动) and relationships.
