三、阅读理解 （ 每小题 4分，共 40 分）
21-25 题：阅读短文，从 A、民C 三个选项中选出一个正确答案，并将答案序号写在题前括号内。 The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten（ 幼儿园）, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support，as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families --a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime.
Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.
Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the state， to expand it to every American child. It later became known that “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line-equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.
Some critics（ 评论家）say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9 to 11 year olds in New Jersey. This report found that
disadvantaged children who had attended pre-school had better literacy（ 读写能力）, language, math and science skills. And two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.
Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-based early education.
21. The kindergarten in other rich countries usually begins than in America.
A. earlier B. later C. slower
22. Which is TRUE about the vocabulary size of the two groups of kids?
A. Poor pre-school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich ones. B. Rich pre-school kids have a larger vocabulary than poor ones. C. There is no obvious difference between the two groups of kids. 23. Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?
A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study. B. Two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.
C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help. 24. The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means ·
A. count B. think about C. choose
25. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
2
A. Secondary Education. B. Pre-school Education. C. Poor Kids’ Education.

A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called “public interest law”（公共利益法）．
我的一位律师朋友致力于为人类服务。她特殊的区域被称为“公益律师”。
Many other lawyers serve only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they get. But what happens to people who need legal （法律上的） help and cannot pay these lawyers’ fees?
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, gets less money than some lawyers, because she is willing to take less money. Her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with bad goods. Others are in unsafe houses. Their cases are called “civil” cases. Still others are criminals (刑事犯罪）, and they go to those public interest lawyers who are in charge of “criminal” cases.
These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice （正义） throughout our society.
( T )21. A person who needs and uses legal help is called a client.
( F )22. Public interest lawyers serve people who can pay high fees only.
