Imagine if Spideman came down from the ceiling to save Yao Ming or Shaquille O’Neal every time they injured their ligaments (韧带) on court. Though this 1 will have to remain a daydream, spider silk may really be able to cure their 2 , scientists say.Thought to be the strongest 3 fiber on the planet, spider silk could be used to rebuild 4 ligaments, Randolph Lewis at the University of Wyoming in Laramine has been 5 the idea.Spider silk has interested scientists for centuries. A(n) 6 European folk story at least 2,000 years old tells of the possible medical 7 of spider webs.It said they could help in fighting infections, stopping 8 and healing wounds.Researches have found no 9 so far that spider webs can kill germs. But studies on animals have shown that spider silk helps 10 the rejection of medical implants. So Lewis’ lab and others are changing spider silk into fibers that they hope might be 11 in medicine.Researchers have found that spider webs could be used to rebuild ligaments 12 in one of the world’s common knee injuries. “We’re also 13 spider silk in artificial tendons(腱).” Lewis said.Scientists are also 14 spider silk to be used for stitching up (缝合)wounds which will help them 15 without scarring (伤痕).1.

Most of the students might consider 18 (celebrate) the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. But Douglas, a different boy, made 19 (expect) kind of picture. In his paper was just an empty hand. His abstract image captured the 20 (imagine) of his peers. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers posses turkeys. 21 suggested a police officer, because the police protect people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself. When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, and asked him 22 hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, "It's yours, teacher." She recalled the times she 23 (take) his hand and gone outside. How often had she said, "Let's do this together." The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teaching 24 (parent) and friendship, and how much it means to Douglas. They might not always say thanks, but they'll remember the hand 25 reaches out.II. 阅读 (共两节，满分50分)第—节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ARecently, a new study suggests that staying positive through the cold season could be the best defense against getting sick.In an experiment that exposed health volunteers to a cold of flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny emotion were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal “Psychosomatic Medicine”, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help ward off(防止) the common cold and other ill-nesses.“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus”, explained Dr. Sheldom Cohen of Carinegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.” And when they do get a cold, they may experience their illness as less serious.Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible(易受影响的) to catching a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality qualities, physical health and “emotional style.”Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile(敌意的) had a negative style.Afterwards, the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Over the next six days the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneeze they had. Cohen and his colleagues found that positive emotions really have the big effect of fighting virus.26. The results of the experiments by researchers suggest that _______.A. people in excellent spirits are more immune to illness than those in poor spirits.B. the emotional quality itself has the greatest effect of fighting virus.C. people with a positive emotional style seemed more likely to get ill.D. positive emotional people and negative people responses similarly to the virus27. Dr. Sheldon Cohen made studies and reached his conclusion by ______.A. comparing the experimental results of different groups.B. looking into the forms completed by the volunteers.C. collecting data among people with a cold.D. observing the volunteers’ symptoms.28. According to the passage, what quality should we develop to fight virus?A. Noble-mindednessB. DiligenceC. OptimismD. Braveness29. We can conclude from the passage that_______.A. positive life can lead to success in one’s careerB. physical health is more important that mental healthC. the happier we are, the less likely we will be to fall illD. the more we are together, the happier we will be30. Which of the following saying is close in sense to the viewpoint of the passage?A. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.C. Laziness makes one weak while labor makes one healthy.D. Pleasant laughter drives diseases away.BGood table manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table.The first thing you should be aware of is that you need to have proper posture at the table. Sit up straight, with your arms held near your body. You should neither lean on the back of the chair nor bend forward to place the elbows on the table.Put the spoon into the soup when eating soup, moving it away from the body, until it is nearly full, then suck the liquid without slurping (咂咂地吃) from the side of the spoon and putting the whole spoon into the mouth.When you offer more food to your guests, you need to choose your words carefully, if you are the host of a party. Telling someone to "have another (or a second or third) helping" can be seen as an unpleasant suggestion that the guest has eaten too much.The proper response to "Please pass the salt ", a very simple sounding request, is to pick up both the salt and the pepper and to place them on the table next to the person beside you, who will do the same, and so on, until they reach the person who asked for them.Be careful when you remove inedible items from the mouth. The general rule for removing food from your mouth is that it should go out the same way it went in. A piece of bone discovered in a piece of chicken should be returned to the plate by the fork. Only fish is different. It is fine to remove the tiny bones with your fingers, since they would be difficult to drop from your mouth onto the fork. And, of course, if what you have to spit out will be very ugly --- an extremely fatty piece of meat that you simply can’t swallow, for example --- you should quietly spit it into your napkin, so that you can keep it out of sight.31. Which of the following statement is true?A. The passage gives us general advice on how to make friendsB. The passage gives us direction on how to host a dinner partyC. The passage tells us some do’s and don’ts when dining outD. The passage tells us how to be guests with good manners32. According to the text, you should ______ when eating soup.A. put the whole spoon into your mouthB. slurp it from the side of the spoonC. put the whole spoon into the mouthD. suck it without making noise33. If you are the host of a party, you should_________.A. avoid telling your guests to have another helping.B. Be careful of your mannerC. Advise someone not to eat too muchD. Constantly offer more food to your guests34. What does the underlined word “inedible” mean in the text?A. not nutritiousB. not deliciousC. not suitable to be eatenD. not fit to drink35. If you can’t swallow an extremely fatty piece of meat at a party, what should you do with it?A. Spit it directly onto the floor.B. Try very hard to wallow it.C. Remove it from your mouth with your fingers.D. Spit it into your napkin quietly and hide it.CGovernment anti-tobacco campaigns should target teenage girls since survey show they smoke almost as much as boys, officials said at a conference in Helsinki, Finland.A report at the 12th World Conference on Tobacco said that the gap in tobacco consumption between boys and girls is closing in many parts of the world.It said there were no significant differences between cigarette smoking rates of 13 to 15-year-olds in more than 150 countries studied.“Programmes specific to women must be developed, which emphasize the serious health results of tobacco use,” said Charles Warren from the Atlanta, Georgia-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control.The survey showed that only in the eastern Mediterranean were boys still smoking significantly more than girls.Europe and America have the smallest gender gap in tobacco consumption. In Europe, 33.9 percent of boys smoke cigarettes regularly, compared with 29 percent of girls. In America, 16.6 percent of boys and 12.2 percent of girls are smokers, the reporter said. However, boys are still smoking more than girls worldwide. Thesurvey showed that, on average, 15 percent of boys smoke regularly compared with 6.6 percent of girls. The increase in young girls’ tobacco use contributed to aggressive marketing aimed at them by the tobacco industry, which describes smoking as fashionable.The survey showed that in industrial countries male smokers account for 35 percent, and female smokers 22 percent, while in developing countries male smokers account for 50 percent, and female smokers, 9 percent. “Transnational tobacco companies continued to aim at women and girls in developing countries, and particularly in Asia, as a large untapped market, ” the report said.The World Health Organization estimates that 47 percent of men regularly worldwide compared to 12 percent of women.36. Government movements against tobacco should aim at young girls because______.A. the number of girl smokers is increasingB. young girls’ tobacco use is decreasingC. the gap in tobacco consumption between boys and girls is expanding.D. young girls’ cigarette smoking rates are too low37. We can learn from the passage that tobacco use________.A. leads to serious health problemsB. makes women fashionableC. raises women’s social positionD. contributes to consumption38. It is in _______ that boys still smoke significantly more than girls.A. EuropeB. AmericaC . the eastern Mediterranean D. Asia39. Where do companies most want to open up their tobacco market?A. Europe and AmericaB. developed countriesC. AsiaD. Eastern Mediterranean40. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. The gender gap in tobacco consumption in Europe is very small.B. The percentage of male and female smokers in developed countries is just thesame as that in developing countries.C. The gap in tobacco consumption between boys and girls is becoming narrower inmany countries.D. Tobacco industry describes smoking as fashionable aiming to tempt people to smoke.DOne of the requirements of every graduation ceremony speaker is that they offer some advice. Well, get ready, here it comes.Soon you will be leaving the company of those who think they have all the answers –your professors, instructors and counselors-and going out into what we like to call the real world. In time you will meet up with other people who think they have all the answers. These people are called bosses. My advice is: humor them.A litter later you’ll meet additional people who think they have all the answers. These are called spouses (配偶) . My advice is: humor them, too.And of all goes well, in a few years you will meet still another group of people who think they have all the answers. These are called children. Humor them.Life will go on, your children will grow up, go to school and someday they could be taking part in a commencement ceremony just like this one. And who knows, the speakers responsible for handing out good advice might be you. Halfway through your speech, the graduate sitting next to your daughter will lean over and ask, “Who is that woman up there who thinks she has all the answers?”Well, thanks to the reasonable advice you are hearing today and that I hope you will all pass on, she will be able to say, “That is my mother. Humor her.”41. According to the text, at a graduation ceremony you’ll most probably hear________ given by the speaker.A. wishesB. proposalsC. warningsD. instructions42. Among the people mentioned who think they have all the answers, which of thefollowing are not referred to?A. teaching staffB. company staff membersC. recreational and sports personD. family members43.

I don’t worry about the greenhouse effect, lead in the air, nuclear waste or the loss of biodiversity. The energy problem? No problem. I know our future is in good hands because our college students are finally studying the right stuff: Madonna.We don’t need to administer national tests to our schoolchildren. We don’t need to throw more money into the endless drain of our school districts. We don’t need to pay teachers higher salaries. We need more videos.Professor Jesse Nash is teaching a course in Madonna at Loyola University, where tuition is $10,000 per year. If you get what you pay for, it must be a good school. And if it is a good school it must know what it is doing when it offers courses in Madonna.Those who have plowed through Western Civilization as college freshmen may think it is a joke, but I am not making this up. Professor Cathy Schwictenberg at the University of Massachusetts says it is significant to study Madonna because she’s part of our culture.A graduate student at the University of Florida is doing his master’s thesis on her. He says that you can learn the same things by studying the Material Girl that you can by perusing Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Who needs physics and Philosophy? They are so boring.Since Madonna’s musical masturbatory expressionism, so un-Like a Virgin, is the new university equivalent of Plato’s Theaetetus, surely there are not other, more interesting substitutions for such dull courses as history, math and biology. High school dropouts would flock to higher education if we would offer credit in finite mathematics in exchange for viewing a Marilyn Monroe retrospective. I guess that would show those study-mad Japanese a thing or two!Wouldn’t you be reassured to know your cardiologist studied M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice as an undergraduate? When assessing heart function, the doctor who studied Tina Turner wouldn’t be tempted to wonder what love’s got to do with it. If I needed bypass surgery I’d want the steady hands that must inevitably emerge from years of immersion in dependable iambic rap. It must at least be the equivalent of a semester of anatomy.Since Madonna is equivalent to the Greek philosophers, surely Judy Garland films could replace Constitutional law. We couldn’t throw in a few Busby Berkeley extravaganzas for the intellectually hungry, and judging from the decisions handed down by the current Supreme Court, a refresher course on Ginger Rogers musicals couldn’t hurt.But law and medicine are not the only areas that could be improved by enlightened course offerings. Think of the kinds of weapons Silicon Valley engineers could turn out by studying Madonna. We could admit women to combat positions, dress them in pointed aluminum bras and let them hurl themselves at the enemy.Besides achieving educational excellence and eliminating dropouts, we could reduce the budgets for elementary and high schools and eliminate the hassle of a national test. After all, you don’t need to read or write to watch videos.By integrating the educational trends of our universities into primary and secondary schools we will produce a generation of students qualified for admission to those universities. I guess that ought to prove to the rest of the world we’re still Number One!Questions:1. What words in the first paragraph help you to realize the writer is being satiric rather than serious?2. Does the writer actually believe we need more videos rather than providing more money for education?3. Is the remark in the paragraph, “If you get what you pay for, it must be a good school,”sarcastic? Why, or why not?4. List three examples of exaggeration the writer uses to help the reader understand that she is ridiculing the course offering at Loyola.5. The writer never states her thesis directly but implied it throughout the essay, particularly in the last paragraph. What is the thesis?Part 2 (每小题6分，共30分)Directions: Read the following essay carefully, and explain the meaning of the underlined parts, using your own words as far as possible.When God foreclosed on Eden, he condemned Adam and Eve to go to work. Work has never recovered from that humiliation. Form the beginning, the Lord’s word said that work was something bad: a punishment, the great stone of mortality and toil laid upon a human spirit that might otherwise soar in the infinite, weightless playfulness of grace.A perfectly understandable prejudice against work has prevailed ever since. Most work in the life of the world has been hard, but since it was grindingly inevitable, it hardly seemed worth complaining about very much. Work was simply the business of life, as matter-of-fact as sex and breathing. In recent years, however, the ancient discontent has grown elaborately articulate. The worker’s usual old bitching has gone to college. Grim tribes of sociologists have reported back from office and factory that most workers find their labor mechanical, boring, imprisoning, stultifying, repetitive, dreary, heartbreaking. In his 1972 book Working, Studs Terkel began: “This book, being about work, is, by its very nature, about violence ─to the spirit as well as to the body.” The historical horrors of industrialization (child labor, Dickensian squalor, the dark satanic mills) translate into the 20th century’s robotic busywork on the line, tightening the same damned screw on the Camaro’s fire-wall assembly, going nuts to the banging, jangling Chaplinesque whirr of modern materialism in labor, bringing forth issue, disgorging itself upon the market.The lamentations about how awful work is prompt an answering wail from the management side of the chasm: nobody wants to work any more. As American productivity, once the exuberant engine of national wealth, has dipped to an embarrassingly uncompetitive low, Americans have shaken their heads: the country’s old work ethic is dead. About the only good words for it now emanate from Ronald Reagan and certain beer commercials. Those ads are splendidly mythic playlets, romantic idealizations of men in groups who blast through mountains or pour plumingly molten steel in factories, the work all grit and grin. Then they retire to flip around iced cans of sacramental beer and debrief one another in a warm sundown glow of accomplishment. As forReagan, in his presidential campaign he enshrined work in his rhetorical “community of values,”along with family, neighborhood, peace and freedom. He won by a landslide.Has the American work ethic really expired? Is some old native eagerness to level wilderness and dig and build and invent now collapsing toward a decadence of dope, narcissism, income transfers and aerobic self-actualization?The idea of work ─work as an ethic, an abstraction ─arrived rather late in the history of toil. Whatever edifying and pietistic things may have been said about work over the centuries (Kahlil Gibran called work “love made visible,” and the Benedictines say, “To work is to pray”), humankind has always tried to avoid it whenever possible. The philosophical swells of ancient Greece thought work was degrading; they kept an underclass to see to the laundry and other details of basic social maintenance. That prejudice against work persisted down the centuries in other aristocracies. It is supposed, however, to be inherently un-American. Edward Kennedy likes to tell the story of how, during his first campaign for the Senate, his opponent said scornfully in a debate: “This man has never worked a day in his life!” Kennedy says that the next morning as he was shaking hands at a factory gate, one worker leaned toward him and confided, “You ain’t missed a goddamned thing.”The Protestant work ethic, which sanctified work and turned it into vocation, arrived only a few centuries ago in the formulations of Martin Luther and John Calvin. In that scheme, the worker collaborates with God to do the work of the universe, the great design. One scholar, Leland Ryken of Illinois’s Wheaton College, has pointed out that American politicians and corporate leaders who preach about the work ethic do not understand the Puritans’ original, crucial linkage between human labor and God will.During the 19th century industrialization of America, the idea of work’s inherent virtue may have seemed temporarily implausible to generations who labored in the mines and mills and sweatshops. The century’s huge machinery of production punished and stunned those who ran it.And yet for generations of immigrants, work was ultimately availing; the numb toil of an illiterate grandfather got the father a foothold and a high school education, and the son wound up in college or even law school. A woman who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. fire [1911] in lower Manhattan had a niece who made it to the halcyon Bronx, and another generation on, the family went to Westchester County. So for millions of Americans, as they labored through the complexities of generations, work worked, and the immigrant work ethic came at last to merge with the Protestant work ethic.The motive of work was all. To work for mere survival is desperate. To work for a better life for one’s children and grandchildren lends the labor a fierce dignity. That dignity, an unconquerably hopeful energy and aspiration ─driving, persisting like a life force ─is the American quality that many find missing now.The work ethic is not dead, but it is weaker now. The psychology of work is much changed in America. The acute, painful memory of the Great Depression used to enforce a disciplined and occasionally docile approach to work ─in much the way that older citizens in the Soviet Union do not complain about scarce food and overpopulated apartments, because they remember how much more horrible everything was during the war. But the generation of the Depression is retiring and dying off, and today’s younger workers, though sometimes laid off and kicked around by recessions and inflation, still do not keep in dark storage that residual apocalyptic memory of Hoovervilles and the Dust Bowl and banks capsizing.Today elaborate financial cushions ─unemployment insurance, union benefits, welfare payments, food stamps and so on ─have made it less catastrophic to be out of a job for a while. Work is still a profoundly respectable thing in America. Most Americans suffer a sense of loss, of diminution, even of worthlessness, if they are thrown out on the street. But the blow seldom carries the life-and-death implications it once had, the sense of personal ruin. Besides, the wild and notorious behavior of the economy takes a certain amount of personal shame out of joblessness; if Ford closes down a plant in New Jersey and throws 3,700 workers into the unemployment lines, the guilt falls less on individuals than on Japanese imports or American car design or an extortionate OPEC.Because today’s workers are better educated than those in the past, their expectations are higher. Many younger Americans have rearranged their ideas about what they want to get out of life. While their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers concentrated hard upon plow and drill press and pressure gauge and tort, some younger workers now ask previously unimaginable questions about the point of knocking themselves out. For the first time in the history of the world, masses of people in industrially advanced countries no longer have to focus their minds upon work as the central concern of their existence.In the formulation of psychologist Abraham Maslow, work functions in a hierarchy of needs: first, work provides food and shelter, basic human maintenance. After that, it can address the need for security and then for friendship and “belongingness.” Next, the demands of the ego arise, the need for respect. Finally, men and women assert a larger desire for “self-actualization.”That seems a harmless and even worthy enterprise but sometimes degenerates into self-infatuation, a vaporously selfish discontent that dead-ends in isolation, the empty face that gazes back from the mirror.Of course in patchwork, pluralistic America, different classes and ethnic groups are perched at different stages in the work hierarchy. The immigrants ─legal and illegal ─who still flock densely to America are fighting for the foothold that the jogging tribes of self-actualizers achieved three generations ago. The zealously ambitious Koreans who run New York City’s best vegetable markets, or boat people trying to open a restaurant, or Chicanos who struggle to start a small business in the barrio are still years away from est and the Sierra Club. Working women, to the extent that they are new at it, now form a powerful source of ambition and energy. Feminism ─and financial need ─have made them, in effect, a sophisticated-immigrant wave upon the economy.Having to work to stay alive, to build a future, gives one’s exertions a tough moral simplicity. The point of work in that case is so obvious that it need not to be discussed. But apart from the sheer necessity of sustaining life, is there some inherent worth in work? Carlyle believed that “ all work, even cotton spinning, is noble; work is alone noble.” Was he right?It is seigneurial cant to romanticize work that is truly detestable and destructive to workers. But misery and drudgery are always comparative. Despite the sometimes nostalgic haze around their images, the pre-industrial peasant and the 19th century American farmer did brutish work far harder than the assembly line. The untouchable who sweeps excrement in the streets of Bombay would react with blank incomprehension to the malaise of some $17-an-hour workers on a Chrysler assembly line. The Indian, after all, has passed from “alienation” into a degradation that is almost mystical. In Nicaragua, the average 19-year-old peasant has worked longer and harder than most Americans of middle age. Americans prone to restlessness about the spiritualdisappointments of work should consult unemployed young men and women in their own ghettos: they know with painful clarity the importance of the personal dignity that a job brings.Americans often fall into fallacies of misplaced sympathy. Psychologist Maslow, for example, once wrote that he found it difficult “to conceive of feeling proud of myself, self-loving and self-respecting, if I were working, for example, in some chewing-gum factory…” Well, two weeks ago, Warner-Lambert announced that it would close down its gum-manufacturing American Chicle factory in Long Island City, N.Y.; the workers who had spent years there making Dentyne and Chiclets were distraught. “It’s a beautiful place to work,”one feeder-catcher-packer of chewing gum said sadly. “It’s just like home.” There is a peculiar elitist arrogance in those who discourse on the brutalizations of work simply because they cannot imagine themselves performing the job. Certainly workers often feel abstracted out, reduce sometimes to dreary robotic functions. But almost everyone commands endlessly subtle systems of adaptation; people can make the work their own and even cherish it against all academic expectations. Such adaptations are often more important than the famous but theoretical alienation from the process and product of labor.Work is still the complicated and crucial core of most lives, the occupation melded inseparably to the identity; Freud said that the successful psyche is one capable of love and of work. Work is the most thorough and profound organizing principle in American life. If mobility has weakened old blood ties, our co-workers often form our new family, our tribe, our social world; we become almost citizens of our companies, living under the protection of salaries, pensions and health insurance. Sociologist Robert Schrank believes that people like jobs mainly because they need other people; they need to gossip with them, hang out with them, to schmooze. Says Schrank: “The workplace performs the function of community.”Unless it is dishonest or destructive ─the labor of a pimp or a hit man, say ─all work is intrinsically honorable in ways that are rarely understood as they once were. Only the fortunate toil in ways that express them directly. There is a Renaissance splendor in Leonardo’s effusion: “The works that the eye orders the hands to make are infinite.” But most of us labor closer to the ground. Even there, all work expresses the laborer in a deeper sense: all life must be worked at, protected, planted, replanted, fashioned, cooked for, coaxed, diapered, formed, sustained. Work is the way that we tend the world, the way that people connect. It is the most vigorous, vivid sign of life ─ in individuals and in civilizations.Sentences to be explained:1. Form the beginning, the Lord’s word said that work was something bad: a punishment, the great stone of mortality and toil laid upon a human spirit that might otherwise soar in the infinite, weightless playfulness of grace.2. The Protestant work ethic, which sanctified work and turned it into vocation, arrived only a few centuries ago in the formulations of Martin Luther and John Calvin. In that scheme, the worker collaborates with God to do the work of the universe, the great design.3. Finally, men and women assert a larger desire for “self-actualization.” That seems a harmless and even worthy enterprise but sometimes degenerates into self-infatuation, a vaporously selfish discontent that dead-ends in isolation, the empty face that gazes back from the mirror.。

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes, The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’directions.

2011高考英语阅读理解真题（广东卷）（英语学习）A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breastpockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.36. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher37. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D.

Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some cards out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards39. What did the students do when the author started his classA. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.40.

The 17 between schooling and education suggested by this is important. Education is 18 , compared with schooling. Education knows no edges. It can take place 19 , whether in the school or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the 20 learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class. 21 the experience of schooling can be known in advance, education quite often produces surprises. A chance talk with a 22 may lead to a person to discover how 23 he knows of another country. People obtain education from 24 on. Education, then, is a very 25 and unlimited term. It is lifelong experience that starts long 26 the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a 27 experience, whose style changes 28 from one way to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at the same time, take 29 seats, use similar textbooks, do homework, and 30 , and so on. Schooling has usually been limited by the edges of the subjects being taught. 16. A. Then B. However C. Thus D. Therefore 17 A. difference B. importance C. use D. problem 18.

A. large B. new C. fixed D. small 30. A take exams B. hold exams C. mark papers D. read papersC A land free from destruction（毁灭，破坏）, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply ―― all these were important 31 in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 32 they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men ―― 33 individuals who could invent machines, find new 34 of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution 35 from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 36 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 37 .He is not necessarily working 38 that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use.

2011年广东高考英语阅读真题(含答案及评分标准)
2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（英语广东卷阅读部分）Ⅱ. 阅读(共两节, 满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often, we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understoof. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.26. the author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A. the offer their helpB. they receive others’ helpC. they feel others’ ki ndnessD. they show their weakness27. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heartB. he relies much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others28. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speed up to pass.B. They waited with patience.C. They tried their best to help.D. They put on their flashlights too.29. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. admit our weaknessD. show our bravery30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience.B. Weakness and Kindness.C. Weakness and StrengthD. A Driving ExperienceBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while argression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to de velop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.31. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly32. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstood each other’s signalsD. they are introduced at an early age33. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep each other.B. They observe each other’s behaviors.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voices.34. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine peo ple getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute<” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.36. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher37. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.38. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some cards out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards39. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.40. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now tryuing hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.A. It makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue42. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.43. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation44. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge45. What is the main purpose og the passage?A. To introduce a new business model.B. To compare two business models.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. To advocate sustainable development.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

第4课科举制的创立 八、教学过程 教师活动学生活动预期效果导入新课： 师问：“我们在选拔班委和三好学生时要求很高，其中很重要一条必须成绩优良、有真才实学。
良好成绩的取得与一次次的考试是分不开的。
提到考试，我们每位同学都可谓是久经沙场的老将，我们知道考试是今天社会对人才的一种较为公平选拔方式。
那我们知不知道在古代社会是如何选拔人才的呢？ （多媒体）提出问题：古代社会是如何选拔人才的？由此导入新课。
讲授新课： 第4课 科举制的创立 一、科举制的诞生 师问：科举制是在哪个朝代诞生的？ 师问：科举制在隋朝的诞生与哪两位皇帝相关？ 师问：文帝和炀帝分别为科举制诞生做了哪些工作？ 师问：你知道隋时当时录取了哪些人？ 师问：“隋朝为什么要采用科举考试的办法选拔官员？” 老师补充：科举制创立前，土族制度和九品中正制是做高官的基本条件。
也就是说要做高官必须同时具备①本人要出自高门权贵家庭。
②还必须有地方官员和高门权贵推荐。
没有显赫的家庭背景是不能做高官的。
这样选拔官吏的实权并没有控制在朝廷手中。
而科举制与它的本质区别是：普通读书人和贫穷人家的子弟可以自愿报名参加官府的考试，这样就扩大了选官范围，选官权力也就牢牢控制在中央手中。
那么我们现在就来学习科举制的创立。
师问：隋朝科举制虽然规模不大，还不完善，但却有着重要意义。
那么，科举制诞生有什么意义呢？ （过渡）师问：科举制的完善是哪个朝代完成的？ 二、科举制的完善 师问：唐时科举考试的科目，以哪两科最重要？ （简介）常设考试科目：秀才、明法、明书、明算、明字、三史科、开元礼科。
以进士和明经科最为重要。
师问：唐朝科举制的完善与哪些皇帝有关？ 师问：看书、讨论并归纳他们分别为科举制度的完善做了哪些贡献？ （组织学生分别介绍状元、榜眼、探花） 打出图片“大雁塔”和“曲江池”?。
老师讲解或由学生从收集的资料里得出内容：进士及第是一种高荣誉，人称“登龙门”。
新进科进士聚集在京城长安曲江参加国宴，在曲江垂帘观看。

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers‟ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning.

Most do not fully see this truth. 16 ,they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent 17 special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.18 makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems 19 （be）painful. Problems, 20 (depend)on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are 21 (comfort)feelings, often as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from 22 (fail).When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children 23 (solve).It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems 24 we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is 25 this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.II、阅读（共2节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解(共30小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ATwo traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.

Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn’t find it.

What cannot we learn about Ralph W. Tyler in this article?A. When and where he was born.B. Where he studied and worked.C. His devotion to American education.D. His life with his family.CWhat should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools. Perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.36. We can infer from the first paragraph that_______.A. learning better at school shows power in your jobB. the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your careerC. learning each subject well is an ability in many jobsD. we should think about how to find our career37. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he will _________.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work38. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except___________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing39. The underlined words "all thumbs" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean_________.A. heavy-handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled40. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. the relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. how to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at schoolDSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers（剑）. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell B arkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位）when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn’t healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”41. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____________.A. make good decisionsB. show self-centerednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear42. The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment43. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents ____________.A. should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children44. Bossy children may probably become ___________.A. relaxedB. skillfulC. hesitantD. lonely45. What is the passage mainly about?A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C. What leads to children’s bossy behavior.D. What effect bossy behavior brings aboutIII、写作（共2节，满分40分）第一节：基础写作(15分)在学习、生活和工作中，学会与人合作是非常重要的。

Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification.

AScientists in the 1950s proclaimed the robot the brainwave of the future—it would free housewives of drudgery and fill factories with a tireless work force. But in many ways, the brainwave has been a washout.Robots can paint cars, salvage nuclear fuel and even assist in brain surgery, but they’re still pretty dumb.Mr. Reddy says robots are dumb “because we haven’t taken the trouble to put the pieces together, not because we don’t know how. That takes money and time and effort, and we don’t have the money.”But today robots can recognize forms and shapes and measure distances. They can hear and speak by using computers that recognize thousands of words. Their sensors can detect smoke or fumes. They can move about rolling on wheels or walk with as many as eight legs like a spider on uneven terrain. In addition, they can recognize texture and the force of a movement, such as pressing.Many robots have one or two of these abilities to some degree, but creating a competent robot that combines most or all of them has been difficult. Scientists have also found it difficult to match human abilities that most people take for granted, such as the finger’s dexterity or the ability to identify objects.“The list of things that robots can do better than humans is much, much shorter than the list of things robots cannot,” says Tom Smith, co-director of the Cambridge Mellon Institute.26. Which of the following best expresses the idea of the passage?A. Robots still have a long way to go.B. What can robots do today?C. How to improve the abilities of robots.D. Difficulties in creating a competent robot.27. In the 50’s scient ists predicted that robots would ______________.A. have brainsB. be pretty dumb and clumsyC. be able to salvage nuclear fuelD. replace workers in factories28. The present state of robots is due to _________________.A. scien tists’ inability to create a competent robotB. the trouble in putting together a robotC. inadequate technical know-howD. shortage of money and time29. Which of the following is NOT possessed by robots?A. Sense of smell.B. Identifying objects.C. Moving on flat floor.D. Recognizing words.30. When the writer says robots are still dumb, he means that _____________.A. robots have not yet possessed sense of touchB. robots are still unable to do functional readingC. there are still many things robots cannot doD. there is little hope of creating a competent robotBThere is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star and teen heartthrob (让人心动的男人) Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.As a young boy, Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime (两个加时赛), with three seconds left, he rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored and his team lost the game.But history, as they say, is a thing of the past. Now at 21, Efron is one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron" and you get more than 14 million responses. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.Efron was born and raised in California. He took school seriously. According to Efron, "he would flip out if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown." It was his father who encouraged him to act. He took part in school performances and with a local theater group. He also took singing lessons. He graduated high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film. But he deferred ---- why study movies when you can star in them.Now he has signed on to star in the romantic comedy Seventeen Again and to play in the remake of the hugely popular movie, Footloose. Efron is also earning more than $3 million for his role in High School Musical 3. Not bad for a 21-year-old. But Efron still remembers those bullies ."You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire," Efron said. "Also, when you get made fun of, when people point out your weaknesses, it's an opportunity for you to rise above."Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business. And he can now laugh all the way to the bank.31. Which of the following might be the best title to the passageA. Don't give upB. He who laughs last laughs the hardestC. Zac Efron's life storyD. Zac Efron's success in musical film32. How do you understand the sentence “But history, a s they say, is a thing of thepast.” in paragraph 3.A. History is a collection of the past .B. Zac Efron's history is wonderful.C. Different from history, Efron is quite popular now.D. History plays an important role in Zac Efron's life.33. What did Zac Efron do when he was laughed atA. He couldn't accept the fact in the beginning, so he escaped.B. He was so angry that shouted at the person who teased him.C. He cried and told the whole matter to his father to get comfort.D. He cheered himself up and used it as motivation to move on.34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3A. It mainly talks about Zac Efron's history.B. It mainly focuses on how Zac Efron grew up.C. It talks about how Zac Efron dealt with his business.D. It talks about Zac Efron's successes in career.35. Which of the following is True according to the passageA. Zac Efron was laughed at because he was the most foolish guy in the class.B. Zac Efron is promoting his fourth High School Musical film in the world .C. He once helped the other team win a match when he was playing basketball.D. In his growing process to be a famous actor, his mother played a key part.CPoverty is not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan. After all, there are no children begging on the streets in major cities here. You do not often see Japanese citizens publicly letting out their complaints over the country’s economic decline. But senior government researcher Aya Abe says Japan has the fourth highest rate of child poverty among developed countries.She says she sees that poverty in schools where students admit to only bathing once a week. Some cannot afford to buy pencils for class.“ They may not be on the streets begging or they may not be tu rning into criminals, but it’s there. It’s just that we have to open our eyes and see,” Abe said.Abe owes the increase in child poverty to the country’s changing demographics(人口统计), struggling economy and high social security premiums(保险费). She says fewer people live in three-generation households, where the parents and grandparents work. The number of single mothers has increased. The salary for young fathers has declined with the economic downturn. Social security premiums have increased in the last 20 years, putting families on the edge of poverty.Abe says studies conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD ) point to rising poverty in Japan before the global economic crises in 2008. But the Japanese government and the public refused to acknowledge it until then partly because of the shame associated with poverty.“It was very unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty,” said Abe. “Even though OECD Japan announced it in Japanese, Japanese m edia didn’t make it into the articles.”Abe says new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has taken one important step to help alleviate (缓解) the problem. Next year, his Democratic Party of Japan plans to double monthly child care allowances given to families.But Abe wants the government to expand its financial help even more. She wants it to simplify the process to apply for public assistance and provide educational grants for students struggling to pay for tuition at high schools and colleges. The country now only offers loans.Abe also says the government must act quickly because she says the problem will only get worse in the next few years.36. The passage is intended to _______.A. report the result of the studies conducted by OECDB. tell us about the increase in Japanese child povertyC. prove that Japan is no longer a developed countryD. introduce Aya Abe, a senior government researcher37. It seems to be hard to associate Japan with poverty because _______.A. no children are seen begging in the streets of main cities in JapanB. its citizens never complain about the country’s economic declineC. it is one of the few wealthiest countries in the worldD. its government and public refused to acknowledge it38. According to Abe, several things contribute to the rising child poverty except_______.A. high social security premiumsB. the increase of the number of single mothersC. the decrease of the salary for young fathersD. the expansion of three-generation households39. Why was it unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty?A. The Japanese public didn’t think it true.B. It was forbidden by the Japanese government.C. The Japanese public regarded it shameful to be poor.D. OECD Japan had already announced it in Japanese.40. Which of the following is NOT the author’s s uggestion for alleviating this problem?A. Doubling monthly child care allowances given to families.B. Expanding government’s financial help even more.C. Providing educational grants for poor students.D. Simplifying the process to apply for public assistance.DFree and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home —— cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from on town/ city could swap with those from a different town/ city.The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative…at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The f act that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.“Th is is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience——living away from home.”41. A “cash-strapped student” means one who _____.A. lacks moneyB. prefers to stay at homeC. is careful with moneyD. wants to change cash42. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Stu dent Swap?A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.B. To let students stay close to their universities.C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.D. To let students exchange ideas freely online.43. What can students do on Student Swaps?A. They can find students to exchange homes with.B. They can make friends with students from a different city.C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.44. Now many students would prefer a university____.A. which can give them free accommodationB. which is not far away from their homesC. which offers the best coursesD. which can offer home-cooked meals45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UKB. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UKC. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UKD.
