My Experience in a Free School
At first I couldn’t believe it! There were no 26 in rows; no bells rang; no
one had to go to 27 . Although we all lived “in”, 28 made us go to bed
at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 29 thing was that practically all the students went to class, 30 very few people
stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 31 class. The new ones
always went wild 32 , but this never lasted long. The 33 took some getting used
to. Our teachers treated us like 34 ; never did we have to 35 “stand up”, “sit
down”, “speak out”. I don‘t 36 one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 37 school, but what a difference in the approach
（方式）！For example, in botany（植物学）we had 38 classes in the spring or fall, but
instead we 39 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. 40 in winter we
each studied a few 41 things about what we had grown. In math the students built
three different kinds of storerooms - small ones 42 , but usable. They did this
instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 43 time too, designing
everything, drawing the blueprints, 44 the angles（角度）and so on. I didn‘t take
45 . I can’t stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That‘s 46 !
47 I think I am a 48 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write

The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English
Channel(海峡), 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English
coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total
population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have
long been known for the fine breeds(品种)of cattle that are raised on them and named
after them.
In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of
France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the
islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War
II, when the Germans held the islands for five years.
Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered English,
their customs are more French than English.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His
family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his
name.
“J.C.” ,he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State
University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year
student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the
Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His
back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and
out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that
he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the
record book.
The stage was set for Owens‘ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year,
and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（体育的）but also
political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands
with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his
own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four
years before his death.
Owens‘ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by
looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,
motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered（烦扰）me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I
had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals(奖牌)changed his life. “They have kept me alive
over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies
hard.”
55. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________.
A. he went to Ohio State University
B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”
D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
56. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________.
A. hurt himself in the back
B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed
D. had to give up some events
57. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time
because __________.
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D. he didn‘t talk to the US president on the phone
58. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals
__________.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
59. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

C. Making a Living as a Sportsman
D. How to Be a Successful Athlete?

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
Fish have ears. Really. They‘re quite small and have no opening to the outside world
carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university
professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.
As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium
carbonate(碳酸钙).By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings,
Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths
no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted,
giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree.
Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new
direction. They‘re examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring.
The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in
which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the
water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which
determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.
Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before
entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are
spending their time at any given stage of history.
In tne case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his
assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the
coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.
This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the
whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his
technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.
63. What can we learn about fish ears from the text?
A. They are small soft rings.
B. They are not seen from the outside.
C. They are openings only on food fish.
D. They are not used to receive sound.
64. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?
A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.
B. Trees also have otoliths.
C. Their growth rings are very small.
D. They both have growth rings.
65. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?
A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.
B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.
C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.
D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.
66. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?
A. They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings.
B. They want to know where they can find fish.
C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.
D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching
their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward
cost-saving ticketless flight- no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID(带照
片的身份证). Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline‘s computer service
by June 16 will get an award(奖励). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a
friend for $99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the
lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless
crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United,
and last week， US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement(替换)to $70
from either $60 or $50 . The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to
push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and
tracking a missing ticket.
67. Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?
A. It is cheaper for air travelers.
B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines.
C. It can use computer to plan air traveling.
D. It helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets.
68. To encourage people to take ticketless flights, the airlines ___________.
A. sell their tickets for $99 from June to February the following year
B. let travelers go to both the US and Canada with the same tickets
C. allow each traveler to have an extra $99 ticket for a friend of theirs
D. offer ticketless travelers free miles to fly in the US
69. Who are the paper lovers mentioned in the text?
A. People who like to have paper airplane tickets.
B. People who love paper products of various kinds.
C. People who travel with paper on a plane.
D. People who have lost their ticket and buy a second one.
70. The airline companies say that they have raised the lost-ticket replacement price in
order to ____________.
A. attract travelers to take ticketless flights
B. punish those who insist on using paper tickets
C. do better than other airline companies
D. pay for the work to deal with lost tickets
