英语四级段落信息匹配题技巧1

大学英语四级段落信息匹配题解题技巧一．题型介绍2013年12月大学英语四级改革后，题型有局部变化。

原快速阅读理解调整为长篇阅读理解，篇章长度和难度不变。

篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。

每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。

有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。

四级考试需要各位同学做的是，大家需要去看十个左右的段落，然后去匹配十个信息点。

但是到六级当中，我们的难度就要增加了，我们见到的情况是六级当中变成了15个段落，去匹配十个信息点。

阅读题里出现的段落信息匹配题占10%的分值。

整个阅读部分占总分值的35%，考试时间只有forty minutes，建议大家在段落信息匹配题当中花去的时间千万不要超过15分钟，所以整体上看做阅读时需要注意一个很重要的问题：严控时间。

但总体来看，不管题型怎么变，其实学习方法没变，还是仍旧需要大家提高阅读的能力，比如说读文章的时候，是不是直接拿英语读，如果读快速阅读的时候，还是拿中文边翻译边读的话，会发现阅读速度一直会比较慢，所以那么长的文章很难找到细节，所以大家一定要养成拿英语直接阅读的这样一种习惯，这样才能保证我们的阅读真正速度又快又准。

每一年考四六级的考生中，都会有很多考生因为时间不够、题做不完而折戟沉沙，而几乎全国考生都会在一个阅读这个模块超时大量的时间，而且由于我们的精度得分确实太大，因为20%的精读只有10道题，一道题占2%乘以710分，一道精读题目的分数就达到了14.2分将近15分。

分值太大导致各位同同学容易在这个地方花去大量时间，但是你要明白这个部分的时间花的再久也只有20%，你完全没有理由因为20%去损失另外一个10%，而且你还不能确定你这20%是否可以得到一个非常好的成绩，所以提醒大家：掌控时间非常重要，每一个环节限时来做，而现在做题的时候就必须要控制时间。

从样卷看，此次涉和改革题目的特点是：1、做题时间10~15分钟（整体阅读包括选词填空、匹配和精度，共计40分钟）；2、四级样卷显示需要将10道题目信息配对到9个段落中；3、六级样卷显示需要将10道题目信息配对到15个段落中；4、考试说明提到，某段可能被用到两次，而某段可能完全不被涉和。

大学英语四级信息匹配(改革后)_知识点汇总

Universities Branch OutA) As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of nationalcompetition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information andespecially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration,mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities havebecome more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的 ) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.C) Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement acrossborders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home eachyear to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well , to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America?s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received theirgraduate education abroad.D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years inanother country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmusprogram each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutionsacross the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习 ) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity —and providing the financial resources to make it possible.E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involvessourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research centerfocused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai?s Fudan University, incollaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility.Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu?s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.F) As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world inthe commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (基础设施 ) andapplications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge,England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnologycompanies have set up shop around the university.G) For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining theresearch-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physicalsciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.H) American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreignstudents can greatly promote the national interest by increasing internationalunderstanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake ofSeptember 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the U.K. Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.I) Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation?s well -beingthrough their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threatenAmerican competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two importantpositive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and — like immigrantsthroughout history —strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视 ) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university students.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

英语四级匹配题技巧

英语四级匹配题技巧英语四级匹配题技巧四六级考试掌握一些技巧很重要。

那么，以下是店铺收集整理的英语四级匹配题技巧，欢迎大家分享。

英语四级匹配题技巧：一、先题后文先看题再看文章，能够将更多简单的题先做出来。

当简单题全部处理完毕之后，剩下的难题可以再重新回到文章当中去找那些已经被挑剩下的段落。

所以，一定要先题后文，稍后再文题同步或先文后题。

二、关键词定位和同义替换其实段落信息匹配题只考两个点，一个点很简单：看到什么，定位什么，选择什么；而另外一个则是通过定位确定位置，然后再进行一次切换之后才能发现原来这个东西就是另外一个东西。

三、请输入标题 bcdef四六级考委会发布的样题中，关于段落信息匹配题是这样表述的：You have to identify the paragraph from which the information is derived（你需要去确认信息是来自于哪一个段落的）。

换一种表达方式叫which paragraph contains the following information（哪一段包含了以下的信息）。

接下来，我们用样题来分析一下关键词定位（key words positioning）和同义替换（paraphrasing）在段落信息匹配题中如何实践。

1. 关键词定位Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.这道题是四级样卷第47道题，就属于比较简单的题目。

当看到这道题的时候，同学们应该关注划线的两个数据，而mid-1970s的意义绝对没有3.9%大。

因为前者是一个时间段，有可能经常出现，而后者是一个具体数值，具体数值高频出现的可能性不大。

大家都知道，越高频的单词或短语越不能成为我们的核心钩划点，所以，两相比较，要把3.9%作为定位关键词。

英语四级匹配题规则

英语四级匹配题规则
在英语四级考试中，匹配题通常是指“选词填空”或“选句填空”类型的题目。

这类题目要求考生根据上下文，在一系列空白处选择合适的词语或句子。

以下是一些通用的匹配题规则和解题技巧：上下文理解：
* 首先，仔细阅读整个句子或段落，确保你理解上下文的主题和语境。

这有助于你更准确地选择合适的单词或句子。

选项适应性：
* 在填空处选择的词语或句子应该在语法结构、词汇和语境上与上下文相匹配，使整个文段通顺且意思完整。

排除法：
* 如果你不确定答案，使用排除法逐一排除明显不合适的选项。

这有助于缩小选择范围，提高正确答案的概率。

关键词匹配：
* 注意关键词，尤其是与上下文主题相关的词汇。

这有助于确定正确选项。

语法一致性：
* 确保所选的单词或句子在语法结构上与其他部分一致，以保持整个句子的语法正确性。

时间管理：
* 在考试中，注意合理分配时间。

匹配题可能需要花费较长时间来理解上下文，但也不要花费过多时间在某一题目上。

练习：
* 在考试前，进行大量的练习，特别是做一些模拟试题。

这有助于提高对这类题目的熟悉度和解题速度。

记住，匹配题的关键在于灵活运用英语语法和词汇知识，同时保持对上下文整体结构的理解。

通过反复练习，你可以提高解题的准确性和效率。

四级匹配题技巧

四级匹配题技巧
四级匹配题是英语四级考试中相对比较简单的一种题型，但它的得分却不能被忽视。

这种题型主要是通过给出一个句子/短语，要求考生从四个选项中选择与之最相近的意思。

以下是一些四级匹配题的技巧：
1. 理解上下文
通常情况下，四级匹配题都是在阅读理解或短文中出现，所以考生需要充分理解上下文的含义，以便更准确地选择答案。

如果只看到一个单词或短语，考生需要尝试脑补出它在句子或段落中的上下文，再进行选择。

2. 注意同义替换
四级匹配题中的选项通常会涉及到同义词或词组的替换，因此考生需要特别注意这一点。

如果遇到生词或不熟悉的词语，可以尝试将其与选项中的词语进行对比，寻找近义词或同义词。

3. 排除干扰项
有时，四级匹配题中的选项中可能会包含一些与原意不符的干扰项。

考生需要通过仔细阅读选项和上下文，逐一排除不符合原意的选项，以便更好地选择正确答案。

4. 注意语气和情感色彩
有些四级匹配题涉及到语气和情感色彩，考生需要注意准确理解原文中的语气和情感色彩，并选择与之最接近的选项。

总之，四级匹配题需要考生在短时间内准确理解和判断，因此需要在平时的备考过程中多加练习，提高自己的语言理解和判断能力。

CET4信息匹配及答案整合(DOC)

(一).The Touch-Screen GenerationA.On a chilly day last spring, a few dozen developers of children's apps (应用程序) for phones andtablets (平板电脑) gathered at an old beach resort in Monterey, California, to show off their games.The gathering was organized by Warren .Buckleitner, a longtime reviewer of interactive children'smedia. Buckleitner spent the breaks testing whether his own remote-control helicopter could reachthe hall's .second story, while various children who had come with their parents looked up in awe(敬畏) and delight. But mostly they looked down, at the iPads and other tablets displayed around thehall like so many open boxes of candy. I walked around and talked with developers, and severalquoted a famous saying of Maria Montessori's, "The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence."B. What, really, would Maria Montessori have made of this scene? The 30 or so children here were notdown at the shore poking (戳) their fingers in the sand or running them along stones or pickingseashells. Instead they were all inside, alone or in groups of two or three, their faces a few inchesfrom a screen, their hands doing things Montessori surely did not imagine.C. In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated .its policy on very young children and media- In1999, the group had discouraged television viewing for children younger than 2, citing research onbrain development that showed this age group's critical need for "direct interactions with parents andother significant care givers." The updated report began by acknowledging that things had changedsignificantly since then. In 2006, 90% of parents said that their children younger than 2 consumedsome form of electronic media. Nevertheless, the group took largely the same approach it did in1999, uniformly discouraging passive media use, on any type of screen, for these kids. (For olderchildren, the academy noted,"high-quality programs" could have"'educational benefits.") The 2011report nentioned"smart cell phone" and"new screen" technologies, but did not address interactive- apps. Nor did it bring up the possibility that has likely occurred to those 90% of American parentsthat some good might come from those little swiping (在电子产品上刷) fingers.D. I had come to the developers' conference partly because I hoped that this particular set of parents,enthusiastic as they were about interactive media, might help me out of this problem, that they mightoffer some guiding principle for American parents who are clearly never going to meet the academy'sideals, and at some level do not want to. Perhaps this group would be able to express clearly some benefits of the new technology that the more cautious doctors weren't ready to address.E. I fell into conversation with a woman who had helped develop Montessori Letter Sounds, an app thatteaches preschoolers the Montessori methods of spelling. She was a former Montessori teacher and amother of four. I myself have three children Who are all fans of the touch screen. What games didher kids like to play, I asked, hoping for suggestions I could take home."They don't play all that much."Really? Why not?"Because I don't allow it. We have a rule of no screen time during the week, unlessit's clearlyeducational."No screen time? None at all? That seems at the outer edge of restrictive, even by the standards ofovercontrolling parents."On the weekends, they can play. I give them a limit of half an hour and then stop. Enough."F. Her answer so surprised me that I decided to ask some of the other developers who were alsoparents what their domestic ground rules for screen time were. One said only on airplanes and longcar rides. Another said Wednesdays and weekends, for half an hour. The most permissive said halfan hour a day, which was about my rule at home. At one poing I sat with one of the biggestdevelopers of e-book apps for kids, and his family. The small kid was starting to fuss in her highchair, so the morn stuck an iPad in front of her and played a short movie so everyone else couldenjoy their lunch. When she saw me watching, she gave me the universal tense look of mothers whofeel they are being judged. "At home," she assured me, "I only let her watch movies in Spanish."G. By their reactions, these parents made me understand the problem of our age: as technology becomesalmost everywhere in our lives, American parents are becoming more, not less, distrustful of what itmight be doing to their children. Technological ability has not, for parents, translated into comfortand ease. On the one hand, parents want their children to swim expertly in the digital s~ream thatthey will have to navigate (航行) all their lives; on the other hand, they fear that too much digitalmedia, too early, will sink them. Parents end up treating tablets as precision surgical (外科的)instruments, devices that might perform miracles for their child's IQ and help him win some greatrobotics competitionbut only if they are used just so. Otherwise, their child could end up one of~ those sad, pale creatures who can't make eye contact and has a girlfriend who lives only in thevirtual world.H. Norman Rockwell, a 20th-century artist, never painted Boy Swiping Finger on Screen, and our ownvision of a perfect childhood has never been adjusted to accommodate that now-common scene. Addto that our modern fear that every parenting decision may have lasting consequences--that everyminute of enrichment lost or mindless entertainment indulged (放纵的) will add up to somepermanent handicap (障碍) in the futureand you have deep guilt and confusion. To date, no bodyof research has proved that the iPad will make your preschooler smarter or teach her to speakChinese, or alternatively that it will rust her nervous system--the device has been out for only threeyears, not much more than the time it takes some academics to find funding and gather researchsubjects.

The author found a former Montessori teacher exercising strict control over her kids' screen time.50. Research shows interaction with people is key to babies' brain development.51. So far there has been no scientific proof of the educational benefits of iPads.52. American parents worry that overuse of tablets will create problems with their kids' interpersonalrelationships.53.

大学英语四级专项匹配题

常的排除法来排除选项。
应对措施
反映文章主旨或段落主题，考生可据此了解原文内容。
在段落—信息配对题中，题干中的信息虽然陈述的都是文章中的细节，但其内容基本都是围绕文章主题或是某一段落的主题进行描述的。通过快速阅读题干中的若干条细节信息，考生可以迅速了解原文的主旨大意，从而能够在回头阅读原文时加快阅读速度，节省定位时间。掌握原文的主旨有利于考生对原文的结构进行预测或对原文的逻辑顺序进行预判。即使题干中的细节信息表述的并非文章的主旨，其肯定也是与文章主旨息息相关的内容，有助于考生在预览原文时提高阅读速度。
以下信息一般为文章前一两段
e.g. 影响（effect),结果（conclusion）改进（improvement）建议；未来
以下信息一般为文章末段
e.g. 细节（details）;应用（application）数据（data）; 比较（compare）
以下信息一般为文章的中间段
合适的定位词。
一般来说，英语类考试中的搭配题多是一对一进行搭配的，考生如果能够成功选出一对，那么就可以排除一个选项。但在段落—信息配对题中，题目中通常还包含这样一条要求：“NB You may use any letter more than once. ”这也就是说，题干中所列举的不同的细节信息可能对应的是原文中的同一个段落。这样的话，即使考生已经判断出某一条细节信息对应原文的B段，但在对其他细节信息进行配对时，也无法排除答案B。而且通常来说，只要题干中出现NB这条提示，那么往往都会出现两条细节信息对应原文同一段的情况。
应对措施
表述中通常会出现一些具有特殊意义的指示性词汇，这类词汇虽然不是通常意义上的定位关键词，但其特殊含义可将考生的注意力指向原文的开头、结尾或是某个具有特定其所在细节信息对应的原文段落。

大学英语四级信息匹配

.专业整理 .大学英语四、六级考试信息匹配题阅读训练Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in oneof the paragraph. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.Passage 1Surviving the RecessionA)America ’srecession began quietly at the end of 2007. Since then it hasevolved into a global crisis. Reasonable people may disagree aboutwhom to blame. Financiers who were not as clever as they thought theywere? Regulators falling asleep at work? Consumers who borrowed toomuch? Politicians who thoughtlessly promoted home-ownership for thosewho could not afford it? All are guilt; and what a mess they have created.B)Since 2007 America has shed 5 million jobs. More than 15% of theworkforce are jobless or underemployed—roughly 25 million workers. Theonly industries swelling their payrolls are health care, utilities and thefederal government. The value of listed shares in American firms collapsedby 57% from its peak in October 2007 to a low in March this year, thoughit has since bounded back somewhat. Industrial production fell by 12.8%in the year to March, the worst slide since the Second World War. MarkZandi, an economist at Moody’, predicts that the recession will shrink America’seconomy by 3.5% in total.“For most executives, this is the worst business environment they’ve ever seen.”C) Times are so tough that even bosses are taking pay cuts. Median（中位数的）pay for chief executives of S&P 500 companies fell 6.8% in 2008.The overthrown business giants of Wall Street took the biggest knock,with average pay cuts of 38% and median bonuses of zero. But there wassome pain for everyone: median pay for chief executives of non-financialfirms in the S&P 500 fell by 2.7%.D)Nearly every business has a sad tale to tell. For example, Arne Sorenson,the president of Marriott hotel, likens the crisis to the downturn that hithis business after September 11 th , 2001. When the twin towers fell, Americans stopped travelling. Marriott had its worst quarter ever, with revenues per room falling by 25%. This year, without a terrorist attack, the hotel industry is“putting the same numbers on the board ”, says Mr. Sorenson.E)Other industries have suffered even more. Large numbers of builders, propertyfirms and retailers have gone bankrupt. And a disaster has hit Detroit. Last year the American car industry had the capacity to make 17million vehicles. Sales in 2009 could be barely half of that. The Big ThreeAmerican carmakers — General Motors, Ford and Chrysler—accumulated ruinous costs over the post-war years, such as gold-plated health plansand pensions for workers who retired as young as 48. All three are desperately restructuring. Only Ford may survive in its current form.F) Hard times breed hard feeling. Few Americans understand what causedthe recession. Some are seeking scapegoats（替罪羊）. Politicians are happy to take advantage. Bosses have been summoned to Washington tobe scolded on live television. The president condemns their greed.G)Business folks are bending over backwards to avoid seeming extravagant.Meetings at resorts are suddenly unacceptable. Goldman Sachs, aninvestment bank, cancelled a conference in Las Vegas at the last minuteand rebooked it in San Francisco, which cost more but sounded less fun.H) Anyway, the pain will eventually end.American business will regain itsshine. Many firms will die, but the survivors will emerge leaner and stronger than before. The financial sector ’s share of the economy will shrink, and stay shrunk for years to come. The importance of non-financialfirms will accordingly rise, along with their ability to attract the best talent.America will remain the best place on earth to do business, so long asBarack Obama and the Democrats in Congress resist the temptation tointerfere too much, and so long as organized labors does not overplay itshand.I)Mr. Obama ’s plan to curb carbon dioxide emissions （排放）, thoughnecessary, will be far from cost-free, whatever his sunny speeches on thesubject might suggest. The shift to a low-carbon economy will help some firms,hurt others and require every organization that uses much energyto rethink how it operates. It is harder to predict how Mr. Obama ’sproposed reforms to the failing health-care system will turn out.If hesucceeds in curbing costs—a big if—it would be a huge gain for America.Some business will benefit but the vast bulk of the savings will becaptured by workers, not their employers.J)In the next couple of years the businesses that thrive will be those that are tight with costs, careful of debt, cautious with cash flow and extremelyattentive to what customers want. They will include plenty of names noone has yet heard of.K) Times change, and corporations change with them. In 1955 Time’sMan of the Year was Harlow Curtice, the boss of GM. His firm was leading America towards a new“ economic order”,the magazine wrote. Thanks to men likeCurtice, “the bonds of scarcity ”had been broken and America was rolling“to an all-time high of prosperity”.Soon, Americans would need to spend“ comparativelylittle time earning a living”.L) Half a century later GM is a typical example for poor management. InMarch its chief executive was fired by Time’scurrent Man of the Year, Mr.Obama. The government now backs up the domestic car industry, lendingit money and overseeing its turnaround plans. With luck, this will be short-lived. But there is a danger that Washington will end up micromanaging not only Detroit but also other parts of the economy. Andclever as Mr. Obama’sadvisers are, history suggests they will be bad atthis.1.The America ’srecession affected the hotel industry as badly as the 9/11terrorist attack.2.Businessmen are trying to avoid seeming wasteful in response to the recession.3.In the near future, a thriving business will go with cautiousmanagement tactics.4.Much doubt remains whether the Obama administration will do well inmicromanaging the America’seconomy.5. A combination of causes is responsible for the current American recession,which began in 2007.6.The government is not supposed to interfere too much in American businesses.7.The big Three American carmakers need restructuring to survive dueto their accumulation of the ruinous costs over the post-war years.8.In March, GM ”s chief executive was fired by Obama for poor management.9.According to the author, Obama ’splan to limit carbon dioxide emissionswill by no means be inexpensive.10.At the worst time, the total value of listed shares in American firmsshrank by fifty-seven percent.(DGJLA HELIB)Passage twoSmall schools RisingA)This year ’slist of the top 100 high schools shows that today, thosewith fewer students are flourishing.B)Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big,modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands.As baby boomers （二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人）came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses,and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understandthe trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies（官僚机构）,the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping in 1963; today, on average, 30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that risesto 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching tohigher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted insignificantly better performance in elementary (and some middle) schools,high schools for a variety of reason seemed to have made little progress.C) Size isn ’teverything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen anoticeable countertrend toward smaller schools.This has been due, in part, to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1000small schools — most of them with about 400 kids each, with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade. About 500 more are on the drawingboard. Districts all over the county are taking notice, along with mayors incities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, withonly 120 high-schools and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet, with383, which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School inBuffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students.And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery（抽签）, such as H.B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all,there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools thathave split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in thesame grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching tothe same band.D) Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif., is one of those, ranking No. 423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek’sannual ranking of America ’stop high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. This year thereare 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full Newsweek list of the top 5% ofschools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.E)Although many of Hillsdale ’sstudents came from wealthy households, by thelate 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned theunaffectionate nickname“Hillsjail”. Jeff Gibert, a Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment,“How did that student graduated?”F) So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three“houses”,romantically namedFlorence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders arerandomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the samefour core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for11th and 12 th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced bythe institution of“advisory”classes. Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everythingfrom homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers alsomeet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they aredeeply invested in the students’success.“We’re constantly talking aboutone another’sadvisers,”says English teacher Chris Crockett.“If you hear that yours isn ’tdoing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s office, it ’slike a personal failure.”Along with the new structure came amore demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen takingbiology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year,two-thirds have moved up to physics,”says Gilbert.“Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know themand care for them.”But not all schools show advances after downsizing,and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.G)The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in yearspast, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years the system has come in for its share ofcriticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’seasy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they’d like.H)Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38superintendents （地区教育主管）from five states wrote to ask that theirschools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know whichhigh schools are ‘the best ’in the nation, ”their letter read, in part.“Determining whether different schools do or don’toffer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students’overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance incollege. And taking into consideration the unique needs of theircommunities. ”I)In the end the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, whichis, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here;we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serveour children and our nation by encouraging students to make toughsubjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep workingtoward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’tbe necessary.1.In practical use, simplicity is still considered a strength of Newsweek ’sschool ranking system in spite of the criticism it receives.2.As a result setting up big schools, students’performance declined.3.Newsweek ranked high schools according to their college-level testparticipation.4.Half a century ago, big, modern, suburban high schools wereestablished to ensure efficient education for baby boomers.5.It is agreed that qualified teachers, better services and encouragement arekeys to reaching the ultimate goal of school education.6. The most noticeable trend in high school education is the splitting oflarge schools into smaller ones.7. It is still unknown whether smaller schools will be a solution to alleducational problems.8.High schools funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation aresmall in size.9.Different measures should be used in assessing the quality of school education.10.The “advisory ”classes at Hillsdale were set up so that students couldmaintain closer relationship with their teachers.(GBDBI CFCHF)Passage 3.HighwaysA) Early in the 20th century, most of the streets and roads in the U.S. weremade of dirt, brick, and cedar wood blocks. Built for horse, carriage, andfoot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow toaccommodate （容纳）automobiles.B) With the increase in auto p roduction, private turnpike （收费公路）companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by 1921 therewere 387000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John MacAdam (forwhom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed theimportance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no nationalstandards for size, weight restrictions, or commercial signs. During World . 学习帮手 .War I. roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weightof trucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919, after serving in the U.S. army’sfirst transcontinental motor convoy（车队）, he noted:“The old convoy had started me thinking about good, two-lanehighways, but Germany’sAutobahn or motorway had made me see thewisdom of broader ribbons across the land.”C)It would take another war before the federal government would act on anational highway system. During World War II, a tremendous increase intrucks and new roads were required. The war demonstrated how criticalhighways were to the defense effort. Thirteen percent of defense plantsreceived all their supplies by truck, and almost all other plants shippedmore than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed thatlocal control of highways had led to a confusing variety of design standards.Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36000 pounds, while others restricted anything over 7000 pounds. A government study recommended a national highway system of33920 miles, and congress soon passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, which called for strict, centrally controlled design criteria.D)The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has beenhailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century. To buildits 44000-mile web of highways, bridges, and tunnels, hundreds of uniqueengineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider themany geographic features of the country: mountains, steep grades, wetlands, rivers, deserts and plains. Variables included the slope of theland, the ability of the pavement to support the load, the intensity of roaduse, and the nature of the underlying soil. Urban areas were another problem. Innovative designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges,overpasses, and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country, forever altering the face ofAmerica.E)Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs inLouisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida, and remarkabletunnels like Fort McHeny in Maryland and Mt. Baker in Washington, metmany of the nation ’s physical challenges. Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program sooninfluenced highway construction around the world, and were invaluable inimproving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.F)Today, the interstate system links every major city in the U.S. withCanada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind, the highways have widelanes and shoulders, dividing medians, or barriers, long entry and exitlanes, curves engineered for safe turns, and limited access. The deathrate on highways is half of all other U.S. roads (.86 deaths per 100 millionpassenger miles compared to 1.99 per 100 million on all other roads).G)By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumergoods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people withgreater options in term of jobs, access to cultural programs, health care,and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individualswith what they cherish most: personal freedom of mobility.H)The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation ’s economicgrowth in terms of shipping and job creation: more than 75percent the nation ’sfreight deliveries arrive by truck; and most productsthat arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey byvehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the America economyby providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, and shopping centers.It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and otherindustries from urban areas to rural.I)By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads,residential streets, expressways, and freeways built to support millions ofvehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower tohonor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said:“Together, the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear—United States.Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.”1. Many of the problems presented by the country’sgeographical featuresfound solutions in innovative engineering projects.2. A century ago, there were almost no national standards for paved roadsin the U.S.3.The interstate system was renamed after Eisenhower in recognition ofhis vision and leadership.4.General Eisenhower felt that the broad motorways made more sensethan the two-lane highways of America.5.It was in the 1950s that the American government finally took actionto build a national highway system.6.Under safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is muchlower than that of other American roads.7.Trucks using the interstate highways deliver more than seventy-five percent ofthe freight in U.S.8.Thanks to the highways, American people can go anywhere they like aroundthe country.9.To a certain extent, the development of interstate highway system inAmerica has promoted the nation’seconomic growth.10.In terms of highway construction, the whole world was influenced bythe U.S.(DBIBD FHGHE)Passage 4The MagicianThe revolution that Steve Jobs led is only just beginningA) When it came to putting on a show, nobody else in the computer industry,or any other industry for that matter, could match Steve Jobs. His productlaunches, at which he would stand alone on a black stage and produce asif by magic an“incredible”new electronic gadget（小器具）in front of an amazed crowd, were the performances of a master showman.All computers do is fetch and work with numbers, he once explained, but doit fast enough and“the results appear to be magic”.Mr. Jobs, who died recently aged 56, spent his life packaging the magic into elegantly designed, easy-to-use products.B)The reaction to his death, with people leaving candles and flowers outsideApple stores and politicians singing praises on the internet, is proof thatMr. Jobs had become something much more significant than just a clevermoney-maker. He stood out in three ways — as a technologist, as a corporate leader and as somebody who was able to make people lovewhat had previously been impersonal, functional gadgets. Strangely, it isthis last quality that may have the deepest effect on the way people live.The era of personal technology is in many ways just beginning.C) As a technologist, Mr. Jobs was different because he was not an engineer— and that was his great strength.Instead he was keenly interested inproduct design and aesthetics （美学） , and in making advanced technology simple to use. He repeatedly took an existing but half-formedidea — the mouse-driven computer, the digital music player,the smartphone, the tablet computer（平板电脑）—and showed the rest of the industry how to do it properly. Rival firms competed with each otherto follow where he led. In the process he brought about great changes incomputing, music, telecoms and the news business that were painful forexisting firms but welcomed by millions of consumers.D)Within the wider business world, a man who liked to see himself as a hippy,permanently in revolt against big companies, ended up being hailed by many of those corporate giants as one of the greatest chief executives of his time.That was partly due to his talents: showmanship, strategic vision,an astonishing attention to detail and a dictatorial management style which many bosses must have envied. But most of all it was the extraordinarytrajectory （轨迹）of his life. His fall from grace in the 1980s, followed by his return to Apple in 1996 after a period in the wilderness, isan inspiration to any businessperson whose career has taken a turn for theworse. The way in which Mr. Jobs revived the failing company he hadco-founded and turned it into the world’sbiggest tech firm (bigger even than Bill Gate’sMicrosoft, the company that had outsmarted Apple sodramatically in the 1980s), sounds like something from a Hollywoodmovie.E)But what was perhaps most astonishing about Mr. Jobs was the absoluteloyalty he managed to inspire in customers. Many Apple users feel themselvesto be part of a community, with Mr. Jobs as its leader. Andthere was indeed a personal link. Apple ’s products were designed to accordwith the boss ’staste and to meet his extremely high standards. Every iPhone orMacBook has his fingerprints all over it. His great achievement was to combinean emotional spark with computer technology, and make the resulting productfeel personal. And that is what put Mr. Jobs on the right side of history, astechnological innovationhas moved into consumer electronics over the past decade.F) As our special report in this issue (printed before Mr. Jobs ’s death)explains, innovation used to spill over from military and corporatelaboratories to the consumer market, but lately this process has gone intoreverse. Many people ’shomes now have more powerful, and more flexible,devices than their offices do; consumer gadgets and online services aresmarter and easier to use than most companies ’systems.Familiarconsumer products are being adopted by businesses, government andthe armed forces. Companies are employing in-house versions ofFacebook and creating their own“app stores ”to deliver software toemployees. Doctors use tablet computers for their work in hospitals.Meanwhile, the number of consumers hungry for such gadgets continuesto swell. Apple ’sproducts are now being snapped up in Delhi and Dalianjust as in Dublin and Dallas.G) Mr. Jobs had a reputation as a control freak （怪人） , and his criticscomplained that the products and systems he designed were closed andinflexible, in the name of greater ease of use.Yet he also empoweredmillions of people by giving them access to cutting-edge technology. Hisinsistence on putting users first, and focusing on elegance and simplicity,has become deep-rooted in his own company, and is spreading to rivalfirms too. It is no longer just at Apple that designers ask:“What wouldSteve Jobs do? ”H)The gap between Apple and other tech firms is only likely to narrow. Thisweek ’sannouncement of a new iPhone by a management team led by TimCook, who replaced Mr. Jobs as chief executive in August, was generallyregarded as competent but uninspiring. Without Mr. Jobs to shower his star duston the event, it felt like just another product launch from just another technologyfirm. At the recent unveiling of a tablet computer by Jeff Bezos of Amazon,whose company is doing the best job of following Apple ’slead in combininghardware, software, content and services in an easy-to-use bundle, there wereseveral attacks at Apple. But by doing his best to imitate Mr. Jobs, Mr. Bezosalso flattered him. With Mr. Jobs gone, Apple is just one of many technologyfirms trying to arouse hisuncontrollable spirit in new products.I)Mr. Jobs was said by an engineer in the early years of Apple to emit a“reality distortion （扭曲） field ”,such were his powers of persuasion. But in the end he created a reality of his own, channeling the magic ofcomputing into products that reshaped entire industries. The man whosaid in his youth that he wanted to“put a ding in the universe did”just that.1.Steve Jobs was obsessed with elegant and user-friendly gadgets,which was his great strength.2.In spite of the user-friendliness of Apple products, critics complainedthat they were closed and inflexible.3.Steve Jobs fulfilled his promise and had succeeded in redefining the products incomputer industries.4.Steve Jobs started the era of personal technology, which has a profoundimpact on people’sway of life.5.Steve Jobs was thought highly of by leaders of many large companiesfor his achievements and personal charm.6.Integrating the easy-to-use elements to the utmost, Amazon hasbecome the best Apple follower many technology firms.7.Apple ’sproducts are very popular in many industries and places, bringingmuch comfort and convenience to people’slife and work.。
