Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the
following passage:
The first year of school
in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins
between the ages
of five and six. Among rich
countries such a late start is very strange.
President Obama believes it
is an economic and
social problem; his education secretary goes as
far as to say that it is
wrong
youngsters
from poor families enter kindergarten well behind
those from rich families—a
disadvantage that
usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households
on welfare knew 525 words
by the age of three,
while the children of professionals had mastered
1,116.

a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a

poverty line—equal to an income of $$47,000 for a
family of four.
(77) Some critics say that
sending children to school at the age of four does
not work. The
evidence suggests otherwise. For
example, on March 20th new results were announced
from a
study of .l in New Jersey. This report
found that disadvantaged children who had
attended had better literacy (读写能力),
language, maths and science skills. And two
years of garten were better than one.
Some studies also follow the effects of early
learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on
crime rates and other factors that may
eventually burden society. Critics have singled
out a
government scheme called Head Start,
created in 1965, which provides poor households
with a
range of services including early
education.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following

company from devising a plan to send four
people to the Red Planet within the next few
years.
(78) This project, called Mars One,
aims to send a small group of people to Mars in

For a mission, all the technology exists.
Yet
the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will
be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite
Mars
One's thorough planning, there are a number of
challenges that may prevent the mission
from
ever taking place. (79) The biggest road block
could be the mission's huge cost ($$6 billion).
However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One
will be able to fund the project by selling the
broadcast rights for the mission and
subsequent experiences living on the planet.
Those broadcast rights will also play
a part in helping to select the people who will be
sent
to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will
hold a selection process similar to a reality
show.
Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million
applications from people around the world. In
additon to
the cost, several other potential
problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.
“It’s even more challenging to send people
there with life support, with food, with air, with
all the other things like books,
entertainment, means of communication and of
providing for their
own resources for a long
stay on Mars,

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following
passage:
When the United States
Congress created Yellowstone National Park in

to set aside a place where
Americans could enjoy the beauty of nature for
years to come. Now,
142 years later, there are
hundreds of national parks across the country, and

changing the way people

officer at Yellowstone
National Park. He says cell phone service at
Yellowstone is available in
parts of the park
with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy
for visitors to share photos of
their trip on
social networking sites and to stay in touch with
friends and family members. (80) If
a nark
visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it

download applications that provide information
about plants and animals in the park can enrich a
visitor's experience.

phones disturb people's enjoyment of our national
parks. In their view, cell
phone towers are an
eyesore, and they'd rather hear the sound of birds
than the ring of an
incoming call. Can you
