In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school．Most children go to public elementary school and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay for their children’s education because taxes support the public schools. If a child goes to a private school, his parents have to pay for the child’s education.Today about half of the high school students go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive money support from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the USA work while they are studying. If a student’s family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.36. Students in state universities ______ if theirparents live in that state.A. pay much moneyB. pay no moneyC. pay moreD. pay less37. The parents of children who attend privateschools ______ for their children’s education.A. have to payB. don’t have to payC. have to make preparationsD. don’t have to make preparations38. Nearly half of the college students in the USA______ while they are in school.A. are poorB. are richC. have part-time jobsD. have full-time jobs39. The best title for the passage would be ______.A. Schools in the USB. Secondary Schools in the USC. Elementary Schools in the USD. Colleges and Universities in the USBI entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea”until he had read at least two thousand books. I heard the words without recognizing either its irony （嘲讽）or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?)And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length.(Could anything shorter be a book?)There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.”“More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.”That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months; it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what thetext was about. However, with the special patience and superstition（迷信）of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.40. On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading,the writer thought _______.A. one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC. it was impossible for one to read two thousandbooksD. students ought to make a list of the booksthey had read41. While at high school, the writer _______.A. had plans for readingB. learned to educate himselfC. only read books over 100 pagesD. read only one book several times42. The underlined phrase “with finality” probablymeans ______.A. firmlyB. clearlyC. proudlyD. pleasantly43. The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republicis to _______.A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off thelistC. show that he read the books blindly thoughthey were hard to understandD. prove that he understood most of it becausehe had looked at every word44. The writer provides two book lists to _______.A. show how he developed his point of viewB. tell his reading experience at high schoolC. introduce the two persons’ reading methodsD. explain that he read many books at high schoolCIn the United Sates elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian（要绝对服从的）methods of education were discredited（不被认可的）rather a long time ago—so much that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common goods. So the emphasis（重点）is on co-operation（合作）rather than competition（竞争）throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.45. According to the passage, the U.S. elementaryeducation is supposed to make children ______.A. happy and interestedB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative46.

The American educational system emphasises______.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit48. The word “sociable” in Paragraph 2 mostprobably means ______.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfare（福利）D. happy at schoolDIn early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university. ”She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment （投资）could show returns. What’s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）. My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.49.
