　　Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.

　　6. More than 215 million people call America “home” because_______.

　　A. they buy their houses there

　　B. they settle there now

　　A. Advantages and Disadvantages.

　　C. Home for the People.

　　D. “Side-by-side” Living Style in America.

　　6. 选B。推理判断题。从However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by setters from other lands可知以美国为家的人主要是已经定居在美国，即答案选B。

　　7. 选B。推理判断题。从They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by side” has both advantages and disadvantages (他们在某些方面融入美国社会，但他们同时也保留自己民族的文化和风俗)可知答案B正确。

　　8. 选B。事实细节题。从In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits可知答案B正确。

　　9. 选D。推理判断题。从文章最后对多种文化并存优点的分析，可推知这种局面使生活在那里的异国人可以自由选择生活方式，使生活丰富有色彩，故答案选D。

　　When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year.

　　Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.”

　　Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.

　　When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns even win national honors.

　　As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts them to come back to school day after day.

　　6. The underlined word” daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means _________.

　　A．discouraging

　　B．interesting

　　C．creative

　　D．unbearable

　　When Peterson began her teaching career, ____________.

　　A．music was a focus of learning in most schools

　　Saturday, October 7th, was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya. Two weeks earlier, her father, a retired official in the department of foreign affairs, had died of a heart attack as he emerged from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya’s mother, Raisa Mazepa, in the hospital. She had just been diagnosed (诊断)with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband’s funeral. “Your father will forgive me, because he knows that I have always loved him,” she told Anna and her sister, Elena Kudimova, the day he was buried. A week later, she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief.

　　Politkovskaya was supposed to spend the day at the hospital, but her twenty-six-year-old daughter, who was pregnant, had just moved into Politkovskaya’s apartment, on Lesnaya Street, while her own place was being prepared for the baby. “Anna had so much on her mind,” Elena Kudimova told me when we met in London, before Christmas. “And she was trying to finish her article.” Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and, like most of her work, the piece focused on the terror that can be seen all over the southern republic of Chechnya. This time, she had been trying to report repeated cruel acts done by people faithful to the Prime Minister, Ramzan Kadyrov, who are in favour of Russia. In the past seven years, Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime; many had been collected in her book “A Small Corner of Hell: reports from Chechnya.” Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield, and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery, and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians—and almost no other reporters—cared to think about.

　　16. Politkovskaya’s father died of ______.

　　A. tiredness

　　B. a heart disease

　　C. an attack

　　D. an accident

　　17. From the text we know that Raisa Mazepa ______.

　　A. didn’t love her husband

　　B. didn’t attend her husband’s funeral

　　C. was having an operation the day her husband was buried

　　D. was too sad to attend her husband抯 funeral

　　18 . The underlined word “emerged” most likely means ______.

　　A. came out

　　B. went into

　　C. disappeared

　　D. left for

　　19. How many family members of Anna are mentioned in the passage?

　　A. Three.

　　B. Four

　　C. Five

　　D. Six

　　20. Which of the following words can best describe Politkovskaya’s character?

　　A. Curious

　　B. easy-going

　　C. careless

　　D. responsible
