There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名单). The school has a long and distinguished history, and it is also one of the oldest charities in the country, providing scholarships to pupils and organizing a Charity of the Term.‎ The curriculum(课程) at King's is based on strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring and tutorial system, and a wideranging cocurricular programme. However, it is continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques are adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills.‎ The curriculum is divided into three units: the Lower‎ ‎School(Year 9 ), an introductory year; the Middle School(Years 10 and 11 ), working to GCSEs; and the Sixth Form(Years 12 and 13), taking AS and A levels.‎ Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 2009—2011; Middle School Academic Guide 2010—2012; Sixth Form Guide 2009—2011 and Sixth Form Guide 2010—2012.‎ Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels. The wellstocked library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week. ICT facilities (including the Internet) are available for all and the whole school(studies within the houses as well as classrooms) is extensively networked.‎ Pupils are offered extensive career advice throughout their time at King's. Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year. The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London.‎ Director of Studies: Geoff Cocksworth: grc @ kingsschool.co.uk Examinations Officer: Elaine McDowell: eam @ kingsschool. co. uk.‎ Click here for more information.‎ ‎11．The best title of the passage might be ________．‎ A．The King's School B．The Curriculum in ‎Britain C．New Teaching Techniques D．British Education System ‎12．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A．The King's School, Canterbury is a famous high school in Britain.‎ B．The curriculum at King's is best in traditional and modern education.‎ C．All pupils of the school go to university immediately after they graduate.‎ D．Pupils' dormitories as well as classrooms are provided with network.‎ ‎13．The following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT that________．‎ A．the King's School focuses on pupils' individual development B．pupils in the King's School who pass GCSEs will go to university C．pupils in the King's School have an easy access to the school library D．pupils in the King's School receive good education ‎14．The passage is probably taken from a ________．‎ A．handbook B．website C．magazine D．newspaper B The average temperature around the world is rising. People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming.‎ The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(气候学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone down—by up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)—from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid air often releases its moisture through rainfall.‎ So where did the extra moisture in the air come from？Changnon points to farms in the region. As plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn and soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past.‎ The second study, like Changnon's, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to another possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers‎ ‎University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the group's findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area in the region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air.‎ These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the first step toward understanding a change in the weather.‎ ‎15．What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to?‎ A．Lower temperatures and more rainfall.‎ B．Higher temperatures and higher humidity.‎ C．Making a record both in the past and now.‎ D．The two periods of the 40year investigation.‎ ‎16．Which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest?‎ A．Scientists' research and farmers' attention.‎ B．Less farmland and more plants.‎ C．More plants and irrigation practices.‎ D．Natural reservoirs and underground rivers.‎ ‎17．The studies show that in America's Midwest，________．‎ A．the average temperature is getting higher and higher B．more and more farmland has been deserted C．the amount of rain is closely related to the temperature D．summers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past ‎18．According to the passage, irrigating more and more plants means ________．‎ A．making more space for farms and buildings B．making more and more water into the air, and thus causing more rain C．more farms depending on watersaving systems D．using plants to change the climate Ⅲ.完成句子 ‎19．An order came that all the vehicles having seven or fewer seats __________________________________________ on the highway during the eightday holiday.
