Researchers found that compared with teens who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking．The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12,000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal．
"Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were belier off than kids who watched a lot of TV," said study co author professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina．
Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children's behavior．But beyond this issue, Gordon-Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV "miss opportunities" to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers benefit from．
That doesn't mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team． The study found that some activities like skating and skateboarding——which adults sometimes frown upon——were also related to better self respect and less risk taking．
That skaters were better behaved than TV watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon-Larsen．Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities oppose building skating parks．But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, "it's a shame," said Gordon-Larsen．
Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage iii the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active．
【小題1】From the passage we know that          .

A．physically active kids get into less trouble
B．more skating parks are being built
C．kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot
D．kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs
【小題2】If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to ____
A．get into the habit of smoking or drinking
B．develop teamwork spirit
C．have risky behaviors
D．fail in the schoolwork
【小題3】This passage is mainly written to ___     ．
A．offer some information to teachers and parents
B．persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV
C．urge the public to help children be active
D．show the author's concern about children's growth
【小題4】What does the underlined sentence "which adults sometimes frown upon" in the 4th paragraph mean?
A．Some adults don't understand the sports．
B．Some adults are impatient with kids．
C．Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboarding.
D．Some adults think them related to bad behaviors.
【小題5】It can be inferred from the passage that          .
A．kids are not expected to be active by some parents
B．professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist
C．skateboarding is popular in schools and communities
D．kids are not encouraged to join the football team

Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns. Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”. But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed. “Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid,” Fujiyama says. “And I had a second chance.”

During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance.

Today, his organization, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need.

He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. “When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up,” he says. “I knew I had to keep fighting.” He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. “She’s dynamite,.” He says. “When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything.” Since 2006, the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.

Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organization. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full time to coordinate（協(xié)調(diào)）the group’s building efforts on the ground.

Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them didn’t have access to clean water or health care, and they didn’t have a school. Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”. The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.

1. At the beginning of his organization, ________.

  A. Fujiyama was supported by many friends     B. things didn’t go on smoothly

C. Fujiyama had little idea of Honduras         D. many famous people joined in

2. We can infer that Fujiyama is a _______ man.

  A. diligent         B. mean           C. sympathetic        D. cheerful

3. The underlined word “siblings’ ” can be replaced by __________.

  A. brothers’        B. brother and sister’s        C. friends’        D. couple’s

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

  A. Help the people in need

B. Students lend a hand in America

C. Fujiyama helps build “Sunshine Village”

D. Fujiyama gives poor people in Honduras a second chance

III 閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Valentine’s Day has its origins in the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia, a yearly festival held on Feb. 15 to help keep dangerous wolves away from townspeople and their crops. On the eve of the festival, Feb. 14, the young women of the town would write their names on small pieces of paper, put them in a jar, and every young man would pick out a name at random. The pair would then be partners for the rest of the festival.

It was 270 B.C. when St. Valentine stood up for love, after Roman Emperor Claudius II forbade Roman soldiers to get engaged or married, believing that married men would rather stay at home than go to war. The priest named Valentine, in defiance(對(duì)抗) of Claudius’ orders, secretly married young couples, and on Feb. 14, was punished for his “crime”, thereby becoming the patron saint（守護(hù)神） of lovers.

Besides this story, there are some old beliefs about this day:

During the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that birds chose their mates each year on Feb. 14.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin fly overhead on Valentine’s Day, it meant she would marry a sailor; if she saw a sparrow, she’d marry a millionaire.

If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will know how many children you will have.

And some charming Valentine’s Day Customs.

In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on Feb. 14.

Heart, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations, which meant “you unlock my heart!”

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They’d wear these names on their sleeves for one week—hence the term “to wear your heart on your sleeve”.

41.According to the story, Valentine was originally the name of a ________.

A. lover     B. priest     C. ruler     D. feast

42.   The Roman emperor forbade soldiers to get married because he thought        .

A. married soldiers are not loyal to the country

B. married soldiers are less willing to fight

C. there was no time for soldiers to get married

D. marriage is a crime

43. Why was the priest punished?

He didn’t join the army.

He helped people escape from being sent to the battle field.

He married couples despite the prohibition from the ruler.

He openly defied the ruler’s order to end his marriage.

44. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?

Feb. 14 and 15 were originally a time for keeping wolves.

People used to believe that birds chose mates on Valentine’s Day.

People believed that the birds they saw on Valentine’s Day predicted what         kind of person they would marry.

D. The Welsh used to give out wooden spoons on Feb.14.

45. If you wear your heart on your sleeve, you _________________.

A. openly express your feelings or emotions to others.

B. hardly take your feelings or emotions very seriously.

C. officially announce that you have been married

D. proudly show your choice of sleeve pattern
