(2024·銀川二中高考模擬) Parents on South Australia's Aboriginal (澳大利亞土著的) lands may lose some of their financial aid if they do not send their children to school. The new rules draw wide concern.
Mundine is Prime Minister Tony Abbott's top advisor on issues concerning Aboriginals, native Australians. “Now, I know the government needs some necessary measures but I think punishing the parents is really the last choice.” Mr. Mundine says the situation can be changed if the tribal leaders support education. “We need to work with parents and communities because we are making a huge cultural change here.” But other officials say they believe the threat of stopping aid will force families to take education more seriously.
The State of South Australia says it has special programs for Aboriginal children. The students work with their parents and teachers first to develop a personal learning plan and the public schools provide special workers to work individually with Aboriginal students. At the age of seven, Aboriginal students can join a program called Enter for Success designed to attract students to school. The students can choose which high school to attend and receive support in reaching the goals on their individual learning plans.
The State of Western Australia also has special programs for Aboriginal and other ethnic (種族的) groups. The state operates a program called Focus Schools which centers on basic skills like reading, writing and counting. 67% of these public focus schools serve the students in 79 very rural areas. Most of them are primary schools. The Focus Schools program also includes 118 coaches working with students in 134 schools.

(2024·南寧第二次適應性考試)Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions. Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world. __1__. Here is a short list of main reasons trees are necessary for improving our living conditions.
●Trees produce oxygen
__2__. A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter (過濾器) that cleans the air we breathe. Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants.
●Trees clean the soil
The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. __3__. Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and so on.
●Trees are carbon sinks
To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. __4__. This locking-up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas.
●__5__
Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.
A．We could not exist as we do if there were no trees
B．Trees help clean the sky
C．A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces
D．Trees control noise pollution
E．Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world
F．The modern human community has other more practical reasons to admire and honor trees
G．Trees can either store harmful pollutants or change the pollutants into less harmful forms
答案：1～5 FAGCD

He jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and __5__ him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what __6__ are you doing？” Then he went on, “Didn't you know that brick you threw is going to __7__ a lot of money. Why did you do it？”
“Please, sir. Please, I'm sorry. I didn't know __8__ else to do！” begged the youngster.
