It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes, The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers? directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.

Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live. Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely. Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order. Like rain to crops, not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends. Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don?t have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it?s work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.

We all hate speed cameras，don?t we？They?re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents；they just make money for the government．They trick us，cost us cold hard cash，disturb us from driving properly and are unfair． Well，here?s a surprising thing：what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives？It?s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what?s happening in France，a country with a historically poor record of road safety．
There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 i n France for example，but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory（强迫的）seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995．
Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time，or 4.9 percent less than 2004．Comparing road deaths to populating in 2005，that?s about 817 per million people compared with Australia?s 806．
And guess what？Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years．
Okey, you know the arguments on the increased traffic safety and cameras. for-income, but in seems in France there?s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.
Traveling on the highways，it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130 km/h speed limit when one few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming There?s even all official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly
Maybe it is because of such transparency by government，rather than the secrecy too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy their life thanks to speed cameras
36．We can learn from the first paragraph that ．
A．speed cameras cost us our lives B．speed cameras help HS drive properly C．most people think speed cameras are good for slowing drivers down
D．most people think speed cameras are used to make money for the government 37．In France, a driver should obey the following rules EXCEPT ． A．blood alcohol limit lowering B．speed limit obeying C．camera location updating D．seat belt wearing
38．The underlined word ??transparency?? in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ． A．honesty B．openness C．innocence D．strictness[来] 39．Now you can seldom see in France ．
A．lunch time last long with drunk people rushing back to office B．people drive at a speed of less than 130 km／h C．drivers drive according to the traffic lights D．police conduct traffic in streets 40．What is the text mainly about？

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?
41. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.
A. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
B. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver C. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration（证明） before they leave without paying
42. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____.
A. are mostly poorly managed B. provide meals for any diners
C. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.
B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. 44. The word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.
A. people who often take taxis B. people who are dishonest
C. people who are worthy of trust D. people who often have meals in big hotels 45. It can be learned that ______________.
A. all the Finns are rich B. Finland has been a good place for cheats（骗子 ） C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level （道德水平） D. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily life III 写作(共两节，满分40分)

Union. First, we saw pictures on the boards which had recorded the terrible phenomena of wasting in the campus.
