三、 阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be “last weekend.” Some people go even more often. Why? For one thing, malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, even medical services. So, are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization? Environmental activists would say No! They would go even further and say that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster. They cause consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl (扩大) .
Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last half century. Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation. Only very wealthy people had automobiles. Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn’t produce themselves. If you gazed at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by countryside. Then a massive change occurred.
Automobiles became affordable and people were quick to adopt them. Now ambitious workers could live in the suburbs, the areas just outside cities, which started to grow rapidly. As long as there was lots of cheap land in the suburbs, no one paid much attention to the usage of that land. Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and car dealerships spread out in large, flat buildings. These one–storey buildings and their parking lot took up a great deal space. Well– meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops. In ignorance, no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land would be ruined forever. There was no way to preserve it.
Only in recent years have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into the problems. Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems. The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, and the death of businesses in the old town centers. Many scholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl. Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment.
66. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Weekend Fun     B. Urban Sprawl    C. New Automobiles     D. Isolated Villages
67. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph?
A. Scientists        B. Activists.        C. Farmers.            D. Malls  
68. Who do environmental activists blame for environmental problems?
A. Endangered animals.                 B. Shopping mall owners.
C. Unthinking shoppers.                 D. Ambitious farmers.
69. What do scholars think should be done about urban sprawl?
A. Understand the situations better.        B. Follow customary policies.
C. Start school in shopping malls.         D. Charge polluters a lot of money.
70. What is the scholars’ attitude toward urban sprawl?
A. Respectful.       B. Disapproving.    C. Pessimistic.         D. Doubtful.

22. Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.
Charter schools are self- governing. Certain companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
The government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education unions are against charter schools. One teachers' union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.
The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.
Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress . 
(1)If a company wants to operate a charter school, it must ________. 
A、try new methods of teaching
B、get the government's permission
C、obey the local and state laws
