Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.Recent studies show that children gain weight more quickly in the summer vacation than when they are in school.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine­month calendar.Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a year round calendar.They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year­round school is ge nerally the same as in a traditional school.
Last year，a study at Ohio State University reported that year­round students did not learn any more than other students.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said “year­round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year〞．
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer vacation than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer the programs that can help. But calling them “summer schools〞 could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，recently wrote about this issue on his blog.
hey said it created an image of children being forced to do work they missed during the school year.
1．Which of the following is the result of the long summer vacation?

Simply by analyzing a drop of blood, a doctor will be able to diagnose a birth defect or even cancer when it is in the early stage; using new technology, a material lighter but much stronger than steel can be produced.
These may sound like dreams at present. But the dreams may soon come true as research findings in laboratories are being turned into products more rapidly in the new century, according to experts participating in the fourth Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Technomart, a technology exhibition and trade fair in Suzhou.
"Most people think nano-technology〔纳米技术〕is too far-fetched to be real. But in fact nano-technology has been applied in a wide range of fields, such as medicine. It is coming into our daily life," said Cheng Jiachong from a Hong Kong-based nano-technology firm.
Nano-technology based on the nanometer, the unit of which is a billionth of a meter, enables scientists to have new concepts of disease diagnosis and treatment on a molecular〔分子〕and atomic scale, Cheng said.
By using nanometer particles, a doctor can separate the fetus cells 〔胚胎细胞〕from the blood of a pregnant woman to see if the development of the fetus is normal. This method is also being used in the early diagnosis of cancer and heart disease, he said.
One of the most significant impacts of nano-technology is at the bio-inorganic materials interface, according to Greg Tegart, executive advisor of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight.
"By combining enzymes 〔酶〕and silicon chips we can produce biosensors. These could be implanted in humans or animals to monitor health and to deliver corrective doses 〔剂量〕of drugs," he told the participants a technology forum during the exhibition.
"Nano-technology could affect the production of nearly every man-made object, from automobiles, tires and computer circuits 〔电路〕, to advanced medicines and tissue replacement, and lead to the invention of objects yet to be imagined," said David Minns, a special advisor to the National Research Council of Canada.
It has been shown that carbon nano-tubes are ten times as strong as steel, with one sixth of the weight, and nano-scale systems have the potential to make supersonic transport cost- effective and to increase computer efficiency by millions of times, he said.
The experts agreed that the APEC technology exhibition and trade fair provided many chances for exchanges of innovative ideas and products.
45. Realization of the dreams mentioned in the first paragraph will mainly base on ________.
A. APEC
B. Chinese scientist
C. the APEC Center for Technology Foresight
D. Nano-technology
46. The length of a nanometer equals to ______.
A. 910- meter
B. 1010- meter
C. 810- meter
D. 7
10- meter 47. We can imply from what David Minns said that _________.
A. Nano-technology could only be used to invent new objects.
B. Nano-technology could be widely used to produce or invent objects.
C. Nano-technology is a money-consuming technology.
D. Nano-technology can not be used to improve the service of Internet.
48. Compared to steel, carbon nano-tubes are ________.
A. stronger and lighter
B. lighter but as strong
C. stronger but as light
D. poor in quality

Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often
long listeners. Most children will“obey〞spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey〞 is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation〔模仿〕leads on to deliberate〔有意的〕imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama〞 as a greetin g for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
51.Before children start speaking________.
A.they need equal amount of listening
B.they need different amounts of listening
C.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D.they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral in structions
52.Children who start speaking late ________.
A.may have problems with their listening
B.probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
ually pay close attention to what they hear
D.often take a long time in learning to listen properly
53.A baby’s first noises are ________.
A.an expression of his moods and feelings
B.an early form of language
C.a sign that he means to tell you something
D.an imitation of the speech of adults
54.The problem of deciding at what p oint a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.
A.is important because words have different meanings for different people
B.is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D.is one that should be completely ignored〔忽略〕because children’s use of words is often
meaningless
55.The speaker implies________.
A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D.even after they have learnt to speak, children stil l enjoy imitating

There are signs of tension，as the G20 Summit prepares to begin its work in London.Some countries are blaming the United States for sparking the economic crisis through the deregulation(撤销管制规定)of its financial scene—a move that sparked an economic recession (经济衰退)．The president says the United States has made mistakes，but so did other countries whose regulatory systems could not keep pace with a changing financial sector.He says it is time to look for solutions.“At this point，I am less interested in identifying blame than in fixing the problem，〞 he said.
France and Germany say the emphasis should be on regulatory reform.French President Nicholas Sarkozy even told an interviewer that he might walk out of the summit，if nations fail to agree on stricter regulation of global financial markets.Brown predicts no walkouts.President Obama says reports of differences are overstated.And，Prime Minister Brown predicts no one will walk away from the summit and its important work.“I am confident President Sarkozy will not be here for the first course of our dinner，but will still be sitting as we complete our dinner this evening，〞 said Mr.Brown.“Never before has the world come together in this way to talk about an economic crisis，〞he said.“Any of the crises we have seen since the Second World
