III. 完形填空
I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no ___21___ in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to ___22___. Although we lived “in”, ___23___ made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “light out”.
The ___24___ thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or ___25___ class. The new ones always went wild ___26___, but this never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like ___27___; never did we have to ___28___ “stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don’t ___29___ one student who didn’t try his best.
The subject were the same as those in the ___30___ school, but what a difference in the approach(方法)! For example, in botany （植物学）we had ___31___ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few ___32_-_ things about what we had grown. In maths the students built three different kinds of storerooms — small ones ___33___, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a ___34___ time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, figuring out the angles (角度) and so on. I didn’t take ___35___. But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s ___36___!
___37___ I think I am a ___38___ person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big ___39___ between the free school and regular school — the amount of ___40___.

A
In the decade of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem. We humans are destroying the world around us. We are using up all of our natural resources. We must learn to conserve them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren.
There are several major aspects to this problem.
1. Population. Most problems of the environment come from population growth. In 1700 there were 625 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1.6 billion; in 1950, 2.5 billion; and in 1980, 4.4 billion. More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum.
2. Distribution. Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little. Some areas get all their rain during one season. The rest of the year is dry.
3. Petroleum. We are using up the world’s petroleum. We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter. Farmers use petro-chemicals to make the soil rich. They use them to kill insects on those plants. These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there. Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year. Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it. Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents.
4. Poverty. Poor farmers use the same land over and over. The land needs a rest so it will be better next year. However, the farmer must have food every year. Poor people cut down trees for firewood. In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert. However, people need wood to cook their food now. Poor people can’t save the environment for the future.
We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems. However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world. It is a problem for all humans. The people and the nation of the world must work together to conserve the world’s resources. No one controls the future, but we all help make it.
41. We humans are destroying our ___________.
A. environment B. farms
C. areas D. desert
42. Most environment problems come from ________.
A. forests B. population growth
C. too much rain D. poor distribution
43. Good distribution means _______________.
A. having things in the right place at the right time
B. cutting down forests and selling them to other countries
C. building water systems to carry water to farms
D. conserving our natural resource.
44. Poor farmers don’t give their land a rest because ________.
A. they don’t have petrochemicals to kill insects
B. they don’t have enough land to let some of it rest each year
C. they need more water
D. they need firewood
45. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People must work together to save the environment.
B. People have the ability to solve problems.
C. We control the future.
D. We help make the future.

SAN FRANCISCO — The "Reading Wizard " ( 巫师) , an 11-year-old boy, whose offer to read to children without being paid at a local library was refused by libraries, will get to read to younger kids after all.
Mayor Willie Brown last Wednesday ordered San Francisco Public Library officials to allow John O' Connor to read to preschool children to get them interested in books and stop them from watching television and video games.
"I didn't expect this kind of attention. " John said, "It's just shocking."
John has chosen his first book , "The King' s Giraffe" , and made up fliers inviting neighborhood children, aged from three to six, to the Presidio Branch every Wednesday afternoon. He planned to call himself the "Reading Wizard" and wear a special hat, fake glasses and a black coat.
But his idea was refused — on the phone, in person and finally with a letter from Toni Bernardi, the chief of the library ' s children and youth services. Using terms like " age-appropriate material" ( 适龄读物) , she wrote that only library workers are allowed to read to children.
John then went to a member of the city board of supervisors (督导董事会), who advised him to write letters to the library officials. “Our libraries are supposed to turn kids on, turn them off” the creative idea, the sense of civic duty and the caring for others that John clearly showed us.
46. Who is the "Reading Wizard"?
A. Presidio Branch. B. The King's Giraffe.
C. John O' Connor. D. Toni Bernardi.
47. The 11-year-old boy asked librarians at the local library for permission to_______.
A. play video games B. wear something strange
C. design fliers for new books D. read stories to young children '
48. By dressing up as a wizard, the boy probably hoped to _______.
A. put up a performance B. frighten the three-year-old boys
C. get the officials shocked D. attract the children' s attention
49. We can infer that Mayor Willie Brown _______.
A. praised the boy for his new idea
B. received a call from the library for children
C. informed the boy to stop reading to children
D. held a party for John and his friends at the library
50. The underlined sentence in the passage means that our libraries _______.
A. should allow kids to read for younger children
B. should get children interested, not bored
C. should open the door while the children are outside
D. will turn on the lights when kids come in, and turn them off when kids go out

8. C 本题中先行词a dictionary 在定语从句中充当地点状语， 故用where引导。
9. A 本题中考察分词的作用， leaving sb. doing在句中充当rush our of the room 的结果状语。
10. D 本题中要表达“遇雨淋”， 应表达为 “be caught in the rain”, 类似还有be caught in the traffic jam, be caught in the snow。
11. A 本题中bring in为“引进”, bring out 为“引起，导致”, bring up 为“呕吐，培养”，bring on 为to cause to happen “发生，惹来”。
12. B 本题中“give off”意为 “发出，放出”。
13. C 本题中“take up” 意为 “占用”， 而take off 表示“脱下”， take down表示 “取下”， take away 表示 “拿走”， 故答案为 C。

提示说明
作者通过对free school 和 regular school的对比，分析两者的区别，认为自己的选择是正确的，因为他在读写上丝毫不逊色于同龄的其他孩子，相反在思考方面更胜一筹。
24. D 上文中提到我们没有明确规定时间上床休息，熄灯，但是，孩子们还是很自觉，没有一人熬夜，赖床，所以，这很“奇怪”。
26. B 如果有也只是，刚开始时，感觉兴奋，但是“this never last long. ”故答案为B。
38. B 下文中I think better,可知，本题应用比较级，故选答案B。
40. D 既然 “I think better”, 所以，这是两种学校的最大差别。
