In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to gethigher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go onto higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need forfuture employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams insteadof bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor RobertSchwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on themostfour-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’svulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher educationwhile also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in NewYork, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The schoolthen helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the jobmarket is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percentfor the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they will become partof this generation of teens who had trouble in land ing a job, ”said Michael, a researcher in the US.1. In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers.A. have enough career-related coursesB. need more career advice from their schoolsC. perform better in exams than German studentsD. can get higher earnings in later years2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely.3. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Arguments about recent US education reform.B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school leavers.”.in Paragraph 6 most probably means“4. The underlined word “daunting”A. discouragingB. interestingC. creativeD. intolerableBIt turns out that nodding off in class may not be such a bad idea after all, as a new study hasshown that going to sleep shortly after learning new material is the best way to remember it.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame inIndiana, nodding off after learning something new is like "telling" the sleeping brain what to remember.Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who habitually slept for at least six hoursper night. Participants were casually selected to study declarative(陈述的), semantically(语义上)related or unrelated word pairs at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or24 ours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to remember facts and events with awareness, and can be broken down into episodic memory(memory for events) and semantic memory(memoryfor facts about the world). People routinely use both types of memory every day—recalling where we parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be addressed.At the 12-hour retest, memory overall was better following a night of sleep compared to aday of wakefulness.At the 24-hour retest, with all subjects having received both a full night of sleep and a fullday of wakefulness, subjects' memories were better when sleep occurred shortly after learning, rather than following a full day of wakefulness."Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What's new about this study is that we tried to shine light on sleep's influence on both types of declarative memory by studying semantically unrelated and related word pairs," Payne said."Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to practise any information you need to remember just before going to bed. In some sense, you may be 'telling' the sleeping brain what to remember. "5. The research led by Jessica Payre tries to _____.A. encourage students to nod off in classB. explain the influence of sleep onmemoryC. show students ways to improve memoryD. introduce students two types ofmemory6. Which of the following can be an example of episodic memory?A. Light travels faster than sound.B. Beijing is the capital of China.C. =3. 1415926…D. Tom attended a friend's party.7. The 24-hour retest shows that subjects' memories were better following _____.A. a full day of sleepB. a full day of wakefulnessC. a sleep shortly after learningD. a night of sleep after learning8. What can we infer from the text?A. Nodding off in class is very uncommon.B. People are better at remembering events than facts.C. Reciting new English words before going to bed may help.D. The longer sleep we have, the better memory we will have.CHawaii is an important trading center and about six million tourists visit there every year. With all that traffic in and out, exotic species(外来物种）have plenty of opportunities to reach the islands. According to biologists, exotic species are the number one threat to the state' s economy, environment, and way of life.The question in Hawaii is, can the invaders be stopped?Quarantines are one way to do this. Quarantine is the process of isolating animals or products. In Hawaii, pet dogs and cats coming into the state remain in a special holding facility for狂犬病）. Many agricultural products are also four months to make sure they don’ t have rabies(quarantined to see if they are carrying insect pests or plant diseases.Inspection is a second way to stop biological invaders. At airports, borders, and shipping ports, inspectors examine passengers and their baggage to see if they are carrying exotic species. The inspectors also destroy fruits, vegetables, or other goods that might be carrying harmful pests or diseases. Specially trained dogs also smell goods in the ship for exotic species.What if an exotic species slips by inspectors? Then efforts are made to control the invader. In Hawaii, government agencies control invaders by setting live traps around wild life shelters and other places. At Haleakala National Park employees have built miles of fences to keep out exotic pigs and goats. For years these animals ate and walked over native rain forest plants, hut the fences have helped reverse(逆转）this damage. Now native plants grow in places that were bare rock only a short time ago.In some cases biological control helps to solve the exotic species problems. It is the scienceof controlling one invader with another. In the early 1900s, several exotic predators(肉食动物）were imported to Hawaii to eat a harmful exotic pest called the sugarcane leafhopper. The insect was destroying 70,000 tons of sugar a year, but the predators brought it under control.The efforts of these scientists and other people are vitally important. In Hawaii alone, 10,000 different species of native plants and animals still need to be protected. Many of these are found nowhere else on earth. By stopping the spread of the biological invaders, we not only protect ourselves, but we also protect the many other native species that make our planet such a special place to live.9. This passage is mainly about ______.A. the methods for preventing exotic speciesB. the effects of exotic invasion on HawaiiC. the problems faced by the Hawaiian economyD. the role of biologists in controlling native species10. Hawaii is at a great risk of invasion by exotic species, because ______.A. many agriculture products grow thereB. regular inspections of animals are uselessC. millions of people go to Hawaii each yearD. biological control efforts have not worked11. Which of the following statements is true?A. Animals and products are put in quarantines before entering Hawaii.B. Trained dogs are used to examine passengers and their baggage.C. Live traps and fences are set to protect exotic pigs and goats.D. Some exotic predators are imported to destroy invaders' food.12. What argument does the author make in the last paragraph?A. Hawaii has the most unknown species of plants on earth.B. Humans have responsibility to control exotic species.C. Scientists make the difference to the species protection.D. Species should be allowed to exist without human interruption.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 5 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
