Though it varies from school to school, there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation.The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award. In elementary and middle school, this award is used to recognize academic excellence. This award is also separated into two groups: A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll. It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states) on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students with grades above 85 (80 in some states) would receive an A/B Honor Roll. It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all As or As and Bs.In high school, this is changed a bit, but still can be classified as the same type of award.The difference is that instead of using the scale(等级) of 100, they use a grade point average(GPA) based on a 4 point scale. They recognize students with a high GPA as “Honor Students”If the students keep it up for all four years of high school, then they graduate with honors.Another notable award is the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence. This is given by the Presidents Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States. This award is offered to elementary school，middle school and high school students. To be eligible(有资格的) for this award, middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale. High school students must have a GPA of at least must also have a high score on a statewide or national standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher. Usually this award is given at the end of the year. It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.However, many people confuse the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence with another award, the US Presidential Scholars Program. Even though both have the word“President” in the title, they are completely different awards. Where the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence is relatively easy to achieve, the award from the Presidential Scholars Program is not. To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar, a student must be a high school senior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test scores.1If, in most of the schools in the US, a student in Grade 5 wants to get an A Honor Roll, he/she must get all averages of a(n) _A93B85 C90 D802From the passage we know that the students who _ can graduate with honors.Akeep up the grades of 100 in high school for more than one yearBget averages of 100 in high school for all four years of high schoolCget a high GPA in high school for more than one yearDare recognized as “Honor Students” for all four years of high school3If high school students are to win the Presidents Award for Educational Excellence, which of the following statements should be included?AAn average grade of 90 or above on a 100 point scale.BA recommendation from a teacher.CA GPA of at least 3.5 in a national standardized test.DA high school senior with outstanding standardized test scores.4The best title for this passage may be “_”AAwards in elementary and middle schoolsBAwards in schools of the United StatesCHow high schools reward their studentsDIts easy to win awards in schools.完形填空(2015大庆质量检测二)I believe different people have experienced different adolescence.I must admit I was still an angry _1_ in my first year of college.My _2_ was that my parents didnt please me at all.Our finances were _3_，so I chose to go to a(n) _4_ college and take a bus to classes every day.One day I had a(n) _5_ fight with my father.We both exploded into shouts.I _6_ out of the house and missed my bus to school.I rushed all the way to school.As I _7_ across the campus toward my class，I suddenly realized I didnt have the _8_ that was due：a thought card.My professor asked us to _9_ an index card with our names and the dates every Tuesday._10_ what was on the rest of the card，we could write a thought，a question or something else.Now，outside the door，ten minutes later，I took an index card._11_ to write something on it，I could only think about the _12_ Id just had with my dad.I wrote “I am the son of an idiot！”，then _13_ into the room，and handed it to our professor.Next day，our professor _14_ the thought cards and I _15_ he wrote，“What does the son of an idiot do with the rest of his life？” The professors innocentseeming question _16_ me to the issue：Whose problem is it？_17_，my thinking began to shift.I realized that I had created a life _18_ I was not a central figure!
