You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One 30 The evidence keeps mounting tha
21、t America is no longer a leader when it comes to educating its children. The dangerous situation is exposed with each new report on the data. The National Assessment of Educational Progress shows little improvement over the decades. The achievement gap between the black and the white is as wide as e
22、ver. SAT scores are declining. I am convinced that one of the reasons is that the school day and year are too short. Without additional time, it is virtually impossible for students behind grade level -particularly poor and minority studentsto catch up. Longer school days can lead to fewer crimes co
23、mmitted by young people and a decline in teen pregnancy(怀孕 ). An extended school day gives administrators the ability to ensure children get a well-rounded education. Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education, so children can cover basic subjects like math, E
24、nglish and science. This is hurting children across America. Extending the school day would also help families. In two-parent households, women have increasingly entered the workplace, and in single-parent households, there is even more of a need for the adults to work. That means parents do not ful
25、ly control their own schedule, since they have to scramble to find high-quality after-school options. What happens when children are not engaged in enriching activities is well-documented: crimes committed by youth in the hours immediately after school soar, as do teen pregnancies. These hours can e
26、ither provide an opportunity for children to grow or to get bored and drift into self-destructive behaviour. Meanwhile, our global competitors are keeping students in school longer, giving them a better shot at success. Failing to do our best to educate all of Americas children is a mistake that wil
27、l hurt this country for years to come. 31 Which is the specific proof about the dangerous situation of American education? （ A） The black-white achievement gap is narrow. （ B） SAT scores are falling. （ C） Many schools are sacrificing basic subjects. （ D） School days in America become shorter. 32 Wha
28、ts the advantage of extending the school day? （ A） It can help lower the crimes committed by young people. （ B） It can help improve SAT scores. （ C） It can narrow the black-white achievement gap. （ D） It is not good for social studies. 33 What is hurting children all over the America? （ A） The exten
29、ded school days. （ B） The crimes committed by young people. （ C） The decline in teen pregnancy. （ D） The loss of well-rounded education. 34 Parents cant fully control their own schedule because they._. （ A） must take time to receive arts and physical education （ B） have too much housework to deal wi
30、th （ C） have to find high-quality after-school choices （ D） must give their children basic subjects education at home 35 What will happen if children do not have high-quality after-school activities? （ A） Children will commit crimes in these hours. （ B） Children wont help their parents do housework.

35、 dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered.

36、docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles. Despite the comments, the green-thinking London mayor still seems very positive about things.
