There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3,000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are selfgoverning. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.Governments strongly support charter schools as a way to reorganize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment ofEducational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse in math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand more student progress.24.

Strong dust storms can cause injuries and deaths, so it’s necessary to know what to do when you come across them.Be careful of dust storm warnings. Dust storms are most likely to happen on hot summer days, so listen to the local TV or radio before traveling in hot, dry conditions, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted(预测). Roadside signs may also be able to warn you of dust storm danger.Be prepared. If you are in an area where storms happen often, carry a mask to keepout dust and dirt from your face, and take eye protection to protect your eyes. A supply of water is also necessary.Go beyond the storm. If you see a dust storm from some distance, and you are in a car, you should try to escape from it. Some dust storms can travel at more than 75 miles per hour, but they usually travel much slower. However, it is not advised for you to put yourself in danger by driving at high speed.Stay inside. Do not move about in a storm, as you will not be able to see hidden dangers in your way. So if you’re in a house, stay inside.Protect yourself from flying objects.

Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal”part of society. This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a newlanguage. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language! 32．By “language is their life”, the author means that children .A．can’t live without language B．lead a happy life every dayC．practice a new language a lot D．are taken good care of adults 33．What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?A．They are afraid of being laughed at B．They usually have too many interestsC．They think making mistakes is natural D．They always make all kinds of mistakes34．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?A．The behaviors they have B．The learning attitudesC．The future plans they have made D．The materials they are using 35．According to the author, a new language .A．can never be learned by the old peopleB．can be grasped by the old people easilyC．can be understood only by the old peopleD．can be learned by both the old and the young第二节阅读填空（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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
