they receive their elementary (初等) and high school education by workin
g at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public "cyberschools", and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they
live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They
also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.These
people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say
learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve
children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

technical services.Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their
computers when necessary.

are being changed into outdoor art.So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been
painted.Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures
of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP)．Its work
makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud.The program began
as part of Philadelphia"s AntiGraffiti Network.Jane Golden is the MAP"s artistic director."
When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word:
hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops.Some onetime
graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP"s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区)．
When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop
a message.Some messages have been "Safe Streets","Love and Care" and "Peace Walk"
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week.Last year, the workers
painted 140 murals.
"The making of a mural enters people"s collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant
moment in neighborhood history." says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a
widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the
Silk Road.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from
about 1,000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk
was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route
back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The official origin of EastWest commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC
when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wudi retur
ned from a dangerous secret mission (使命) acrossthe western desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far
as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place
known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient
times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between
the ancient world"s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes
for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon
fin
ding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the
Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the
early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the
Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
B. continued
C. doubled
D. combined
B. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
C. historical research often achieves fascinating results
D. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
B. extended human migration into eastern Asia
C. began a million years ago
D. primarily benefited the Egyptians
B. he discovered the Silk Road
C. he helped establish EastWest trade
D. he travelled as far as Afghanistan
the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to
preserve our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after
important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent help, they would have
money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage
Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to maintain and restore the most important places from our history.
However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge(巨石阵) in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals.
There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Stone experts say that if
guards patrolled the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more
television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is
education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.

D. traffic
B. Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television cameras
C. People enter the sites and cause damage to the buildings
D. They collect as much money as they can to preserve the buildings

D. To make people know more about the value of historic sites

Kong Zi，also called Confucius(551479 B．C.)，and Socrates(469399 B．C.)lived only a
hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is
interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas，
and how these ideas in turn，shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China.
The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek citystates were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike
Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus，Socrates was able to be
more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom，and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had
more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the
individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had
more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class
should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern.For Confucius,
however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than 
political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
B．Confucius had much influence on Socrates" ideas．
C．The societies were influenced by the philosophers" ideas．
D．There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece．
B．the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C．the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D．people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
B．Potential．
C．Knowledge．
D．Community．
B．comparison and contrast
C．cause and effect
D．definition and classification
