1. A study suggests that dirty air can reduce lung development. Researchers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles published their work in the New England Journal of Medicine.

About one thousand seven hundred children from different communities in Southern California took part in the study. The scientists tested the children every year for eight years, starting at age ten. They say this is the longest study ever done on air pollution and the health of children.

The scientists found that children who lived in areas with the dirtiest air were five times more likely to grow up with weak lungs. Many were using less than eighty percent of normal lung strength to breathe.

The damage from dirty air was as bad as that found in children with parents who smoke. Children with reduced lung power may suffer more severe effects from a common cold, for example.

But the researchers express greater concerns about

long-term effects. They say adults normally begin to lose one percent of their lung power each year after age twenty. The doctors note that weak lung activity is the second leading

cause of early deaths among adults. The first is smoking.

By the time people are eighteen, their lungs are fully developed, or close to it. The doctors say it is impossible to recover from any damage.

Researchers say they are still not sure how air pollution affects lung development. They believe that pollution affects the tiny air spaces where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

Arden Pope is an economics professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Professor Pope wrote a commentary about the study. He noted that air quality in Southern California has improved since the study began in the early nineteen-nineties. Clean-air laws have reduced pollution from vehicles, industry and other causes.

But dirty air is still a problem in areas of California and other places. Professor Pope says continued efforts to improve air quality are likely to provide additional improvements in health.

1. While I was waiting to enter university, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper–a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I lived.

"The school," he said, "is made up one class of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”I should have to teach all the subjects except art he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them in turn at three different . And I was not glad at the thought of teaching maths, a subject at which I wasn’t very at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be enjoying themselves at that time.

Before I had time to ask about my salary, he got up to his . "Now," he said, “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really this school.”

5.简答题(题目数量：2 总分：20.0)

1. If you are like most people, your intelligence changes with the seasons, you are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded that climate and temperature have an effect on your mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer. Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in nature. Fall is the next-best season, then

winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.

Why dose the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking?

What is the main idea of this passage?

答案: 1.Because people tend to be less creative during summer.

2.The central idea of this passage is man’s mental abilities change from season to season

2. Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfolded the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchief, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the

flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.

How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag？

What do we learn about the the federal law?

答案:1.By making laws

2. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US.
