【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Freshmen are always fearful when learning they are to live with a roommate of a different race assigned by the computer casually. They are full of worry at the uncertainties. Now several studies have found that sharing a room with a man of another race is a mixture of hope and fear. It decreases prejudice and forces students to make friends with those of different races, meanwhile causes more conflicts.
An Ohio State University study found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success at college. Sam Boakye — the only black student on his freshman year floor — said “if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove like a good score in study.”
However, researchers also observed problems in this case. According to two recent studies, compared with two white roommates, roommates of different races may experience such big conflicts that one has to move out and live separately.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. In her opinion, this may be the first time that some of these students have lived with someone of a different race.
At Penn, students are not asked to mention race when applying for their housing. In this way, students are thrown together randomly.
“In the past two years, I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students,” said one Penn resident advisor (RA). To give a better picture, she added that some conflicts provided more multicultural acceptance, but some showed unpleasant differences. Besides, these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said it was unscientific to conclude from any one of the above studies, saying scientists must study more students' background characteristics.

【題目】Disposing (處理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes 【1】 (increase) difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot 【2】 a dump site (垃圾場(chǎng)). People 【3】 (transport) household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Regularly some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The 【4】(pleasant) sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills (制造廠), and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted 【5】(remaining) into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices 【6】(accept) to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, 【7】 are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. The land is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. A long distance dump has been a common practice, 【8】 once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. 【9】(aware) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
【10】(recycle) efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C或D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Teens don't want to be seen with their parents, much less talk to them or do anything with them. That's what we hear all the time. I don't believe it. Oh, sure, when my daughter and my son were in their teens, they wanted to spend most of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times planned when we enjoyed being alone with each other, when we connected deeply, and when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.
I recall how delighted my 14-year-old daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her for a date to see a movie. It was a bittersweet Italian movie, Cinema Paradiso, and I wanted this story to give her a sense of how I grew up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple and where everyone knew one another. I wanted her to know how her father had been brought up and shaped.
We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie. She was attached to the movie. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood. We made a memory that night.
From our living room window, I saw my 13-year-old son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered from asthma (哮喘) and allergies, he could never have a dog, a faithful friend that he wanted so much. Every pet he owned—lizards, fish, or snakes—had died.
I was at his side as we searched for the best gravesite (墓地). We dug the grave, said our goodbyes and then he cried. He cried hard and he asked me why every pet he had owned died so soon. I could feel his heart break against my chest. I just held him close. He let me hold his aching soul. He needed me while he was confused. Share your heart with your teens. Show them repeatedly that you know and love who they really are. There are tender memories waiting to be made.

the primary schools, are better in smaller villages. The classes are smaller and some say there will be more positive influence on their children and that their social life will be more fulfilling and nurturing.
