The paperwork took five months. Says Eric "We not only had to produce a marriage certificate but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stablerelationship!"

Home schooling is legal throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, Hong Kong, and South Africa. Home schooling is most popular in Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Home schooling is legally accepted in all 50 slates of the US, but each state has its own laws about it. Currently, it is estimated (估计) that over one million families teach their children at home. Most of these families include a breadwinner and a stay-at-home parent who docs most of the teaching, although there are single parent families and double career families.Home schooling education models range from unschooling to traditional classroom schooling. Unschooling is based on interest-based learning in which the child expresses interest in a particular subject, and the parents take steps to provide the materials for that subject.In some places, the home school group shares in hiring a professional teacher to teach a particular subject. The group may also arrange field trips and sports activities with local private schools. These activities are intended to provide social skills for the students.Home school families take advantage of technology and the Internet to supplement (补充) traditional teaching. Some home school families enroll (注册) their children in an online school or course as a supplement to their own teaching.Some home school families teach their children through high school graduation. Others teach their children until they feel they are mature (成熟) enough to live independently.In America colleges do recognize a home school diploma (文凭) , but most are more interested in high school transcripts （成绩报告单）and SAT and ACT scores. There are currently over 800 colleges that accept home-schooled graduates including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.64. A home school is a school where ___.A. parents provide social skills for their childrenB. children needn't take any testsC. parents teach their children at homeD. children can go home every day65. In most of the home school families, .A. one parent goes to work and the other stays at homeB. one parent is a worker and the other is a teacherC. both of the parents slay at homeD. both of the parents go to work66. In the education model of unschooling, .A. children are taught in traditional waysB. children don't need any textbooksC. special attention is paid to children's interestD. everything is decided by children's parents67. We can know from the passage that .A. home schooling is only popular in developed countriesB. children in a home school have no contacts with other studentsC. a home school diploma is not accepted by colleges in AmericaD. some children in a home school also take courses onlineDAs China's women's gymnastics team enjoyed the glory of winning the country's first team Olympic gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games, the young gymnasts took the opportunity to remind the world that they are old enough to compete.Weeks before the Beijing Games, some international media raised questions about the ages of some of the members of China's gymnastics team, particularly He Kexin and Jiang Y uyuan. They said the girls might be younger than 16, the minimum age for the Olympics. But the Chinese Gymnastics Association quickly provided copies of the gymnasts' ID cards and passports, proving they are indeed old enough to compete.In the final, He Kexin gave a clean performance on her favorite uneven bars (高低杠), earning the second highest score, after falling from the bars during qualification. "Although I fell down in the qualification, I became more confident today to make up for my mistake, and I finally made it," She sai d. It was a great moment for head coach Lu Shanzhen. “Our team made history today and proved to the world that we are the best," the coach said. "The gold medal is not only for the gymnastics team, but also for the whole Chinese delegation at the Beijing G ames.”The coach owed the team's success to a series of reforms. The Chinese team used to train a lot, but competed less, which led to poor results in international competitions. To improve their ability to compete and to strengthen their psychological power, the Chinese team sent more team members to compete abroad, so they could bring a competitive spirit back to the team. All six gymnasts in the Olympic team final were selected from fierce competition, and they proved themselves today.68. Before the Beijing Games started, some international media doubted whether .A. Chinese women gymnasts could win the team gold medalB. He Kexin would fall from the bars during qualificationC. Chinese women gymnasts could make history at the Beijing GamesD. some Chinese women gymnasts were old enough for the Games69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The international media's doubts proved to be true.B. He Kexin's fall in the qualification had no bad effect on her performance in the finalcompetition.C. Chinese women gymnasts' success at the Beijing Games proved that the reforms did work.D. Each team is made up of 6 members to compete for the team gold medal in womengymnastics.70. In the opinion of Lu Shanzhen, the key to achieving success for athletes is to .A. practice harder than everB. experience more competitions abroadC. have strong psychological powerD. have a competitive spirit71. The main purpose of the text is to .A. tell a storyB. provide evidenceC. give a reportD. compare opinionsERats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose (果酱) seem to age faster than other rats—and the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said Monday.Fructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt. But while its sweet taste is popular, the sugar could cause wrinkles（皱纹）, the researchers said. Dr. Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats. Writing in the Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen (胶原蛋白) of their skin and bones. Collagen basically holds the body together. The loss of collagen is what causes deep wrinkles in older people.The process affected, Werman's team said, is known as “cross-linking （交叉相连）”. "Too much cross-linking makes the skin stiff (僵硬的), and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin," Werman said in a statement. He said the same could be true of people, although this has not been shown. "Americans are eating more and more processed foods such as baked goods, canned fruits, jams and dairy products that contain fructose," Werman said. Other studies have shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes (糖尿病).The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person might eat in a day, which is standard in such experiments. The rats were fed 12. 5 grams of fructose per kg of weight every day for a year.72. In the experiments, if a rat was 0. 25 kg, it may have been fed about grams offructose every day for a year.A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 673. Why do older people have deep wrinkles according to the passage?A. They don't drink enough water every day.B. They don't take enough exercise every day.C. Collagen in their body is lost.D. Their daily foods do not contain enough fructose.74. What can we learn from the passage?A. The fructose-fed rats only showed changes in the collagen of their skin.B. Too much cross-linking makes the skin soft.C. The amount of sugar the rats ate was larger than an ordinary adult might eat in a day.D. It hasn't been shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes.75. The best title for the passage should be " ".A. Sugar—it could reduce collagenB. Collagen—it could age youC. Collagen—it could cause wrinklesD. Sugar—it could age you第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) ’第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Small talk is a good way to kill time and making friends. 76 _______.If you travel to other countries, do you know how to say 77 _______.to start small talk to local people? 78 _______.In Britain, the best topic is the weather.
