根据以上提示的部分问卷信息，请你适当增加信息内容，撰文介绍同学们的看法，并对此作出简要评论。

根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

A． How can you select your test location（地址）? B． How many times do you plan to take the test? C． When do you have to hand in your test scores? D． What is the most appropriate test date for you? E． Where do you stand in your high school coursework? F． What are the factors determining your choice of test time? |
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June． However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date． If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers．
2. 
One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area． A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www．actstudent．org． Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information． It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is available free from your school counselor． Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center．
3.
One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school． A number of factors will affect this decision． First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores． Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date． Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open．
4.
Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework． If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory． If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then．
5. 
Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score． In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try． There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year: （i） You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT． （ii）You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework． （iii） You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools．
Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming． Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing． For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity．”
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive（与直觉不符的）, but the basic science is well understood． Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released（释放）into the atmosphere． As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket．
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors（因素） such as changes in solar or volcanic（火山的）activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun． According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes．
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question． As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without． That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty．
1.In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by ．
A． solar activity B． volcanic activity
C． the Earth’s going around the sun D． human activity
2.The text is developed by ．
A． giving typical examples B． following the order of space
C． analysing a theory and arguing it D． comparing and finding differences
3.The underline word “identical” means ．
A． totally different B． exactly the same
C． extremely important D． relatively independent
Finding the right school for your child is a process． You will want to read about the school, talk to any friends who are involved in the school and, most important of all, visit the school．
The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet． We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure（小册子）, the fee structure and an application． The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school．
In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour, which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum（课程）．
This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one． Every school has a different “school climate．” If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each “feels” different． You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not．
●The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds．
●Children must be three years old by August 31st．
●We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine． At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades．
●There are scattered（零散的） openings available throughout the program due to attrition（学生流失）． Once an opening occurs, students spend a day at ICS, part of which includes admission testing．
1.You can NOT get to know about ICS by ．
A． getting an information packet B． taking an admission tour
C． asking friends involved in ICS D． taking an admission test
2.During the Admission Tour, you can ．
A． having a meeting with the children
B． decide on the design of the classrooms
C． talk with the school about the courses
D． choose the weather suitable for study．
3.Which of the following is NOT accepted for ICS when there is no attrition?
A． A boy who will be 3 years old by July．
B． A fifth grader originally studying in ICS．
C． An eighth grader from another school．
D． A fourth grader from another school．
4.The text is intended for ．
