19、te an environment thats student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief official of the Madison County School District.Getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. Madison County saved $200,000 by not including lockers in the new high school, McGehee said.It is also
20、 believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. ”Lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said Mike Nelson, founder of a safety- training group. Nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.However, Andrew
21、 Booth, a 10th-grader at Gemantown High, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “It can make your book bag really heavy”, he said. The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)” to carry to school each day.He said some teachers have shelves at the back of th
22、e classroom on which students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students dont have to carry books from home.New York architect Peter Lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give students a “sense of space” “If you are
23、 carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms,” he said.Lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opportunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a school

27、ce.D. Put shelves at the back of the classroom for students to leave their bags.DFrom July to October every year, about a quarter of the worlds blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carryi
28、ng cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales paths and the ships travel lines overlap (重叠 ), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the worlds blue whales. Only about 10,000
29、of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California.
30、 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hasting
31、s, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates
32、mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the worlds la
33、rgest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/ 小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.32. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_.A. people intend to illegally hu
34、nt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area33. Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the worlds blue whales?A. Because
35、the number of the blue whales is so small.B. Because other blue whales will be scared away.C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.34. According to Sean Hastings, its inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is dec
36、reasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the worlds blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.35. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Meas
37、ures to protect the blue whales.C. The worlds largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.第 二 节 (共 5 小 题 ;每 小 题 2 分 ,满 分 10 分 )根 据 短 文 内 容 ,从 短 文 后 的 选 项 中 选 出 能 填 入 空 白 处 的 最 佳 选 项 。 选 项 中 有 两 项 为 多 余 选项 。Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives.
