He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”16. The author was finally sent to wilderness because __________.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused17. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable18. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.- 2 - / 1519. How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. Relieved20. By saying “The latest incident was the last straw” in the 2nd paragraph, what did the author mean?A. My father failed in the race for sheriff.B. I was forced to wilderness camp for several months.C. My dad’s closest advisor talked with me.D. My math teacher agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad.Passage 2Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who caught hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”,try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!21. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.B. The fact that people have different experience in the simple facts.C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.D. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.22. From the story “Six Blind Men and the Elephant”, we are advised that __________.A. we should never think about simple factsB. we should never judge something with a one-sided viewC. we should not agree about simple factsD. we must learn from the six blind men23. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.A. Newton’s lawB. Galileo’s theory of falling objectsC. Einstein’s Theory of RelativityD. Marx’ s On Capital24. The main idea of this passage is __________.A. people often judge something according to his own experienceB. people often agree about simple factsC. it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact- 3 - / 15D. you should not care too much about simple fact25. From the experiment in the last paragraph, why is it that your both hands feel different?A. Because your right hand was in the hot water.B. Because your left hand was put in the ice water.C. Because the lukewarm water was different from the other two.D. Because your both hands just left water of different temperature.Passage 3What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和谐的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic(有吸引力的) that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.26. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?A. How to make a house a home?B. What makes a house a home?C. Who are truly homeless?D. What is a home for?27. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.A. tell us that where there is home there is loveB. tell us what people think a home isC. tell us the author’s concept (理解) of homeD. tell us how to have a happy home28. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.A. people who don’t spend time with the familyB. people who have lost their family membersC. people who build multi-million-dollar housesD. homeless families living on the street in America29. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?A. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.B. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.C. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.D. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.- 4 - / 1530. According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned as an element (要素) of a home?A. Communication.B. Appreciation.C. Companionship.D. Kindness.Passage 4Ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be “goals”. Goal Setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So what motivates you? Why are you in college? If you are in college because that’s what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. Sure, it’s possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you.(“If you graduate from college, I’ll give you a car!” or worse “If you don’t graduate from college, you won’t get a car.”)But motivation that comes from within really makes the difference.Certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you don’t have motivation, you won’t get far. Think about this analogy. You have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic CD system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表).There it sits. This car has incredible potential. However, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesn’t function, You guessed it; the KEY is MOTIV ATION.Interest is an important motivator for a student. So is a desire to learn. When you link these two things together, you create success. Often success in an endeavor(努力) leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established.So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in being in college? Have you set realistic goals for yourself? How can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? When it comes to motivation, KNOWING is not as important as DOING.31. Why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?A. Because people can never go far without a good car.B. Because a good car motivates some college students to study harder.C. Because a good car is a symbol of being a success.D. Because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.32. What is the CORRECT comparison between the internal motivation and the external (外部的)motivation?A. Only the internal motivation can result in success.B. Internal motivation is more important than external motivation.C. Internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance.D. External motivation is enough for people to achieve success.33. According to the article the following factors can push people towards their goals EXCEPT__________.A. interestB. the desire to learnC. the knowledge of motivationD. the sense of success34. What’s the main purpose of the article?A. To encourage everyone to learn something about the knowledge of motivation.- 5 - / 15B. To inspire college students to set goals for their college life.C. To imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.D. To call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.35. What may be the writer’s advice to the potential readers?A. The goals you set for yourself shouldn’t be far beyond your reach.B. You needn’t study hard if you are really not interested in it.C. You should work harder to win praise from others.D. Honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life.三、完形填空(共15分,每小题1分)My dad was driving to the city center to shop and I was going along for the ride. At least that was what I had told him —36 I had an important question to ask — that had been on my mind for a couple of weeks and this was the first time I had been able to 37 with him alone.“Dad…” I started.

Once you understand this and it becomes 43 of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to 44 the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am 45 to tell you?”My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with 46 . “ Of course, Dad.I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Father Christmas who has 47 been in the whole world.”When it comes time in my life to 48 the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and 49 as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red 50 .

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and Mathematics need not be taught in details, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.16. People with little education usually __________.A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get jobsC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get good jobs17. The earliest education was probably to __________.A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books18. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “__________”.A. successfulB. equitableC. fairD. comprehensive19. It can be inferred that educated people will be able to __________.A. make a way of livingB. feel interested in the whole worldC. develop their abilities in every aspectD. learn subjects like language and math20. The passage mainly tells us that__________.A. education could make a man improveB. people can get educated in a short timeC. people should be able to get better education- 2 -D. all subjects are so important for a way of livingPassage 2I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over. Now I think it’s time.Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four.”And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?“Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they’re paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them need teaching, I make sure they get it.”It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.21. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because __________.A. he thought highly of Jordan’s deedsB. he hated to see Jordan do something badC. he believed it was time to help the disabledD. he felt sure he needn’t keep the promise then22. A man in the western suburbs made a call to __________.A. know why Jordan stopped in a bad areaB. get a chance to become famous himselfC. let people know Jordan was not that niceD. offer an example to show how Jordan helped others23. Jordan talked with the boys because he __________.A. needed their supportB. had promised to do soC. liked to teach them to play basketballD. liked to help people24. The writer of the passage might be __________.A. a teammateB. a columnistC. a coachD. the father of those boys25. The text implies that Jordan is __________.A. an excellent basketball playerB. good at dealing with problems of lifeC. always ready to make friends with young people1- 3 -D. willing to do whatever he can for the good of societyPassage 3You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a coworker or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.26. The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene27. Negative people may affect us by __________.A. influencing our emotionB. telling us the nature of lifeC. changing our ways of thinkingD. comparing their attitudes to life with ours28. Some negative people base their happiness on __________.A. other people’s pity for themB. making other people unhappyC. building up a positive attitudeD. other people’s respect for them29. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to ________.A. change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. communicate with negative people as little as possible30. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?- 4 -A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.Passage 4Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese. That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard.Next to hard work, biological inheritance (遗传) plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.31. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because__________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldsD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country32. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that __________.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions33. Which of the following causes the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A. Distinct regions.B. Extensive knowledge of music.C. Strict training.D. A prejudice-free society.34. The success of J. S. Bach and his sons show that __________.A. most musical prodigies are JewsB. people in the Far East are far more sensitive in musicC. genic factors play an important role in making prodigiesD. a great musician must grow up in a family of musicians35. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the World1- 5 -C. Music and SocietyD. The Making of Music Prodigies三、完形填空(共15分,每小题1分)An old man lay in a hospital bed, heavily sedated to ease the pain from his heart attack.

There was a lady in a local nursing home for the aged, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address. So i did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom i had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and qu ite excited to receive mine. I just didn’t know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that i hoped had enjoyed her birthday.That year, i did not send out any Christmas cards, except to his lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that i was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday card and a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mails.She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but i did keep her and her family in my thoughts.

Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of the earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams. Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are . Cover your head with your arms around it and curl into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is open as possible. Don’t move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move,After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled and injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival without injury.26. The underline word “Fortunately” in the first paragraph means “.________”A.especially.B.gradually.C.luckily.D.finally27.

Predict an earthquakeC.control an earthquakeD.keep safe during and after an earthquake.Passage3During the twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of environment.

The quieter the background is , the more penetrating a noise can be.Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can cause more problems.

Noise can result in the involuntary fear response and can cause adrenaline to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to increase, and the digestive system to slow down.Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example , it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.31. How many kinds of.

第三章阅读理解⊙风土人情类Passage 1Coffee is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep US awake and active. On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes (部落) for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the l400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds. “Then it really took off,” said historian Mark Pendergrast—author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the l500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world. Within another l50 years, it took Europe by storm. “It actually h ad a major impact on the rise of business,” Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.It is often said that after the Boston T ea Party of l773, when American colonists (殖民者) attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “There’s a lot of truth tothe story, I found.” Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的).For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.1. According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?A. Literature.B. Newspapers.C. The insurance industry.D. The oil industry.2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The Boston Tea Party took place in l773.B. Europeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.C. During the l770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee.D. Coffee is a refreshing drink.3. The author of the book believes that_____.A. drinking coffee was unpatrioticB. 2,000 insurance companies were set up hundreds of years agoC. Europeans were responsible for the existence of slaveryD. coffee actually influenced the rise of business4. The phrase “tool off” in the second paragraph means “_____”.A. dropped to the groundB. became very successfulC. removed its coatD. went away suddenly5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. When Coffee Became PopularB. Coffee Is a Powerful DrinkC. How Coffee Influenced the Course of HistoryD. What Impact Coffee Has on Human Behavior【答案及解析】1【答案】D【解析】结合选项,在原文里我们发现文中第三段提到受到咖啡影响的行业,其中有insurance industry(保险业),literature(文学),newspapers(报纸),works of great composers(作曲家的工作),唯独没有提到石油工业,因此D项与咖啡无关,故答案选D。

第二章快速阅读Passage1Education Study Finds U.S.Falling BehindTeachers in the United States earn less relative to national income than their counterparts in many industrialized countries yet they spend far more hours in the front of the classroom according to a major new international study.The salary differentials are part of a pattern of relatively low public investment in education in the United States compared with other member nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,a group in Paris that compiled the report.Total government spending on educational institutions in the United States slipped to4.8percent of gross domestic product in1998,falling under the international average—5percent—for the first time.“The whole economy has grown faster than the education system,”Andreas Schleicher,one of the reports’authors,explained.“The economy has done very well,but teachers have not fully benefit.”The report,due out today,is the sixth on education published since1991by the organization of30nations,founded in1960 and now covering much of Europe,North America,Japan,Korea,Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the teacher pay gap,the report shows the other countries have begun to catch up with the United States in higher education:college enrollment has grown by20percent since1995across the group,with one in four young people now earning degrees.For the first time,the United States’collegegraduation rate,now at33percent,is not the world’s highest.Finland,the Netherlands,New Zealand and Britain have surpassed it.The United States is also producing fewer mathematics and science graduates than mast of the other member states.And the report says a college degree produces a greater boost in income here while the lack of a high school diploma imposes a bigger income penalty.“The number of graduates is increasing,but that stimulates even more of a demand—there is no end in sight,”Mr.Schleicher said.“The demand for skill,clearly,is growing faster than the supply that is coming from schools and colleges.”The report lists the salary for a high school teacher in the United States with15 years,experience as$36,219,above the international average of$31,887but behind seven other countries and less than60percent of Switzerland’s$62,052. Because teachers in the Unites States have a heavier classroom load—teaching almost a third more hours than their counterparts abroad—their salary per hour of actual teaching is$35,less than the international average of$41(Denmark,Spain and Germany pay more than$50per teaching hour,Korea$77).In1994such a veteran teacher in the United States earned1.2times the average per capita income whereas in1999the salary was just under the national average.Only the Czech Republic,Hungary,Iceland and Norway pay their teachers less relative to national income;in Korea teachers earn 2.5times the national average.Teacher pay accounts for56percent of what the United States spends on education,well below the67percent average among the group of countries.The new data come as the United States faces a shortage of two million teachers over the next decade,with questions of training,professionalism and salaries being debated by politicians local and national.An international expert at the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education said training for teachers is comparable among most of the nations in the study,and that they are all dealing with similar issues of raising standards and increasing professionalism.Though the United States lags behind in scores on standardized tests in science and mathematics,students here get more instruction in those subjects,the report shows.The average14-year-old American spent295hours in math and science classes in1999,far more than the229international average;only Austria(370 hours),Mexico(367)and New Zealand(320)have more instruction in those subjects.Middle-schoolers here spend less time than their international counterparts studying foreign languages and technology but far more hours working on physical education and vocational skills.High school students in the United States are far more likely to have part-time jobs:64percent of Americans ages15to19worked while in school,compared with an international average of31percent(only Canada and the Netherlands,with69percent,and Denmark,with75percent were higher).One place the United States spends more money is on special services for the disabled and the poor.More than one in four children here are in programs based on income—only five other countries serve even1in10—and nearly6percent get additional resources based on physical or mental handicaps,twice or three timesthe rate in other countries.The report shows a continuing shift in which the United States is losing its status as the most highly educated among the nations.The United States has the highest level of high school graduates ages55to64,but falls to fifth,behind Norway,Japan,Korea,the Czech Republic and Switzerland,among ages25to34. Among college graduates it leads in the older generation but is third behind Canada and Japan in the younger cohort(一群).While the portion of Americans with high school diplomas remains at88percent across age groups,the average age among member countries is rising.It has gone from58percent of those ages 45to54,to66percent of those ages35to44and72percent of those ages25to34.A higher percentage of young people in Norway,Japan,Korea,the Czech Republic and Switzerland have degrees than in the United States.“The U.S.has led the development in college education and making education sort of accessible for everyone,”Mr.Schleicher said.“It’s now becoming the norm.”问题1—6从所给选项中选择最佳答案,7—10根据内容将句子补充完整。

advertising gives more than the facts about products and services.Today's advertisements try to get consumers to buy certain brands.Writers of advertising are so skillful(16)they can sometimes persuade a consumer(17)(buy)a product that they might not need.For example,you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket,because there are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves.But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra﹣tasty and (18)(have)a free prize in the box,you may want it.Advertising must get attention.To be effective,it must be exciting,entertaining,or provide some pleasure.The secret of(19)(write)good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product.The idea is(20)the advertisement is really selling.One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports.That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.三、阅读理解(共两节,40分)第一节(每小题2分,共30分)阅读下列短文,从所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项AAbout20years ago Nissan introduced the world's first"talking car".Actually,it was just a recorded voice that would tell you that your door was open,and would continue talking to you until you closed it.Of course,it never caughton.Times have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you talk to,rather than a car that talks to you.You'll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders,get traffic reports and directions,and send and receive e﹣mails.To do this,you needn't push a button at all.This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars.In fact,the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels,with computers,wireless Internet access,and satellite radio inside.Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use.If workers are able to check their e﹣mails,faxes,and meeting time on the way to work,they can spend more time at the office doing more important tasks.Microsoft,of course,is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows."It's a great goal."says Dick Brass,VP of Microsoft's automotive division,"But we'd like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth."There are already650million cars in the world,and every year about50 million new cars roll off the production lines.If Brass'wish came true,cars could become a bigger business for Microsoft than computers.(21)Which is TRUE about the world's first"talking car"?A.Nissan invented it.B.It was introduced in the late20th century.C.It could record voices.D.It could not only record but also talk itself.(22)The radio of the new talking car can be operated by receiving.A.traffic reports B.voice orders C.light signals D.electricity energy(23)Companies may be happy with new type of cars because.A.much time will be wasted in traffic B.their workers will get to the office earlierC.their workers will have more time to do more important workD.their workers will check e﹣mails,faxes,and meeting time at home(24)The underlined phrase"caught on"in the first paragraph probably means"".A.turned on B.took off C.become popular D.was colourful(25)We can learn from the passage that.A.all of the mobile offices will use Windows B.about50million new cars are produced every year C.the new type of talking car has a recorded voice insideD.the talking car of the near future is a car that talks to youBA few years ago,I realized that I had a fear of heights.Sometimes I would feel uncomfortable if I looked down from somewhere high and the higher I got,the worse I felt.However,there were some things that made me nervous when I looked up at them﹣such as drop towers(急速下降塔).About a month ago,my family and I went on a trip to Marineland﹣an amusement park with a sea animal theme.One of Marineland's attractions is a huge drop tower called the"Sky Screamer".My dad wanted to ride it,and he wanted to take me with him.He kept nagging(唠叨)me,and I finally gave in,because I wanted to face my fears.Going up was terrible.I got stomachaches from just looking at the tower.When we reached the tower,we lined up and got seated on the ride.When it reached a few feet off the ground,it stopped for a moment,before sending us straight to the top at great speed.I squeezed my eyes shut and I held the handlebar(把手)as tightly as I could.A few seconds later my heart was in my mouth and I was screaming my lungs out.At the top,I opened my eyes and looked forward,not down.I tried to prepare myself for the way down,but it didn't really help.There I was,with my eyes squeezed shut,holding the handlebar and again,screaming at the top of my voice.In fact,it was even worse than going up!But when I got to the bottom,I felt relieved(放松的).I thanked my dad for forcing me to go on the ride,and I was pleased I had faced my fears.So,was the"Sky Screamer"scary?Well,maybe just a little bit.(26)Which of the following wasn't the writer afraid of?A.Riding a lift to a higher place.B.Looking down from a height.C.Looking up at drop towers.D.Going to an amusement park.(27)What made the writer finally decide to ride the"Sky Screamer"?A.Her father's encouraging words.B.Her interest in the ride.C.Her desire to face her fears.D.Her father's nagging.(28)What did the writer do during the ride?A.She kept looking down.B.She kept holding the handlebar.C.She was too frightened to scream.D.She squeezed her father's hand tightly.(29)What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer volunteered to take the ride because she wanted to face her fears.B.The writer's father forced her to ride with him in order to help her with her fears.C.The ride was less scary on the way down.D.The ride offered the writer a chance to face and conquer(征服)her fears.(30)What is the passage mainly about?A.A trip to Marineland.B.Facing a fear.C.A ride to the top of the"Sky Screamer".D.A joyful ride on the"Sky Screamer".CAt5:13on the morning of April18th1906,the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as250,000.About700people died in the earthquake and the fires.Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October17th,1989.It was America's second strongest earthquake and about100people were killed.It happened in the evening as people were travelling home.A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below.Many people were killed in their cars,but a few lucky ones were not hurt.Luckily the1989earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about50kilometres away.In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed.These buildings were over50years old,so they were not strong enough.There were a lot of fires all over the city.The electricity was cut off for several days too.Why do earthquakes happen?Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate.The Pacific plate is moving very slowly﹣at5.3centimetres a year.Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years.Then suddenly,they jump and an earthquake is felt.As a result of the movement of these plates,west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes.When the 1906earthquake happened,the Pacific plate jumped5﹣6metres to the north.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco.They call it"The Big One".However,people today are still building more houses.The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in1906.This means that if there is another big earthquake,a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.(31)Fewer people were killed in the1989San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened.A.in the centre of the city B.in the daytimeC.outside the city D.in the evening(32)Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage?A.The1906earthquake.B.The1976earthquake.C.The1989earthquake.D.Both A and C.(33)Why do earthquake happen?A.Because the surface of the earth is too thin.B.Because some plates of the earth move suddenly.C.Because the houses built on the earth are not strong.D.Because the plates are moving slowly.(34)What should we do about the earthquake?A.We should learn how to predict earthquakes and stop them.B.We should stop building new houses.C.We should build strong buildings in the right places.D.We should try our best to stop earthquakes.(35)What does the underlined word"one"in the second paragraph refer to?A.Bridge.B.Road.C.Car.D.Street.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
