1. Fifty million public school children in America (1) a new school year. The number is a record high. Yet, at the same time, school systems in many areas are facing budget problems. The (2) economy is not the only cause. Another reason has to do with increased prices for food and fuel. They mean (3)

costs for school meals and bus transportation.

The United States will spend more than five hundred billion dollars (4) public education for the coming school year. The federal government helps (5), but the responsibility for education is

mostly on state and local governments.

Two major sources of money for public schools are property taxes and sales taxes. A slowdown in consumer spending, the engine of the economy, means fewer goods to tax. And the

collapse of the housing market means less money to collect in (6) taxes.

A report in July from the National Conference of State Legislatures said thirty-one of the fifty states were having budget problems. And the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (7) school officials in at least eleven states have cut or proposed cuts in education.

Florida, for example, has cut school aid by about two percent (8) student. State officials say tax collections are low and lottery sales have fallen by one hundred million dollars. Florida and many other states use money from sales of lottery tickets to help pay for education.

Around the country, the economic slowdown has added to the numbers of children (9) free or reduced price lunches at school. In other words, (10) of the same economic problems that have hit school budgets have also hit family budgets. （20分） (1) 1 （2分）A.is starting B.are starting C.is started D.are started ★标准答案：B

2. at will man be like in future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now on? We can only make a (1), of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now on (2), men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may imagine that man will continue to grow (3).

Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity (能量). As time (4) on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and eventually we shall need (5) ones! This is (6) to bring about a physical change too. The head, in particular, the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow (7).

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as (8), are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great (9) in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes (性别) are likely to be bald (秃头的)!

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, (10) all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. （20分） (1) 1 （2分）A.guess B.game C.idea D.picture
