Now,there is a new-type school in New York,which has no everyday lessons,no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called “City-as-School”. The name just means the city itself is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work which interest them. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a government office helping the public with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theater for a day and she spends a week for the first-year courses at college.

   Well,students have to pass Math and Science exams before they enter the “school”. These sub-jects are not easy to provide in “City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress of the students. The sue-cess rate is high. 80% of the students go to college after the “City-as-School,”

    The students like the duty of their work. They have the sense of purpose. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. One of the students,Lizette Martinez,writes UI want to say that I do not know where I would be right now if I had never become a part of City-as-School. Leaving my regular high school and going to City-as-School was the best decision I have ever made. The way the school works to get you to go out there and learn different fields instead of sitting in a classroom is wonderful. For all those who are in between school and dropping out,go to CAS and it will change your life forever.99

       Have you ever wondered?

   1. Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?

   It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference iwS an atmospheric phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) known as the jet (噴射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude (髙度) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.

    2. What would happen if the gravity (地心引力) on Earth was suddenly turned off?

    Suppose we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures (建筑物) float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. The Earth is moving at quite a speed,moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string (細(xì)繩) ，it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. “Switching off” gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.

() 1. What information can we get from the first passage?

   A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.

   B. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.

   C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.

   D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.

() 2. The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “ ”.

   A. send for   B. move quickly   C. come out   D. grow quickly

() 3. It can be inferred that without gravity .

   A. buildings and other structures would float away

   B. trees and buildings would not so easily fly off

   C. something around your head would not float away

   D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space

() 4. Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?

   A. It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York.

   B. The earth is moving at a high speed.

   C. Everything on the earth will float away if there's no gravity.

   D. Everything not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.

() 5. Where can we most probably read this text?

   A. In a research paper. B. In a short story. 

    C. In a travel magazine. D. In a student's book.
