They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups。 In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outes was due to the social and selfregulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11. Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outes in delinquency.（1）Fast Track was intended for children whowere randomly chosen from their schoolshad some problems with academic learningC. wisheswere considered to have criminal trouble in the future（2）What can be learned about the intervention in Paragraph 2?

Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers，maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle. The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the bination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蝕) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, bined with the existence of lightercolored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.（1）What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs? A.B.They are ancient lines in caves.They are huge markings in a desert（2）How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive? A.B.C.D.Because of the wind at ground level.Because of the existence of soft soil.C.D.Nonstop.Everlasting.Reallife.Highend.【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了出現(xiàn)在秘魯南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地畫The Nazca Lines，其神奇之處及形成原因。根據(jù)第一段中的“The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地畫) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.”及對(duì)The Nazca Lines圖案和發(fā)現(xiàn)過程的具體介紹，可知the Nazca Lines是出現(xiàn)在秘魯南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地畫，故選D。根據(jù)第二段中的“Who built them and what was their purpose?
