This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just without the three mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they haveagreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.36. What is the aim of the plan?A. To prevent the students' road accident.B. To relieve the traffic pressure.C. To save time for the parents and students.D. To help the parents save money.37. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A. By letting the bus run in the morning only.B. By limiting the number of the students.C. By obtaining the support from the headmaster.D. By lining the new bus service with the existing one.38. The new bus service will be paid for by ________ .A. the parentsB. the local governmentC. the bus companyD. the local government and the parents39. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A. The bus company will make much more money.B. The children can choose whatever school they like.C. The parents can get rid of their worries.D. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides.40. This passage is most probably ________ .A. a personal letterB. an advertisementC. a headmaster's reportD. a newspaper articleBIf you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public education.At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission-turning teenagers into educated college graduates-much of the system is failing.The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world's largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called Crossing the Finish Line tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. "I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched," said Mr. Bowen.In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students-even when they are better qualified-often go to colleges that excel (擅长) in producing drop-outs. "It’s really a waste," Mr. Bowen said, "and a big problem for the country." As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation ratesignificantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen.What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer.41. Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for theAmerican financial crisis according to this passage?A. The government.B. Public education.C. The Detroit automakers.D. The Wall Street firms.42. What is a big problem with American higher education?A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college.B. Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.C. Many college students stay away from classes.D. It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government.43. The title of the Book Crossing the Finish Line probably means .A. running to the end of the lineB. going to collegeC. finishing college educationD. working hard in college44. Why do some students under-match?A. Because they have financial difficulty.B. Because they face ambition crisis.C. Because they lack confidence.D. Because they can't get guidance.45. The passage is mainly about _______.A. problems with secondary American education and possible solutionsB. America's financial crisis, its cause and influenceC. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influenceD. relationship between American education and its economyCPresident Coolidge's statement, “The business of America is business,”still points to animportant truth today —that business institutions have more prestige（威望）in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as and expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.46. The statement "The business of America is business" probably means________.A. America is a great power in world businessB. Business is of primary concern to AmericansC. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceD. Business problems are of great importance to the American government47. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only_____ .A. by protecting their individual freedomB. when given equality of opportunityC. by way of competitionD. through doing business48. Who can benefit from business competition?A. People with ideals of equality and freedomB. Both business institutions and government.C. Honest businessmen.D. Both businessmen and their customers.49. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ____.A. its role in protecting basic American valuesB. its absolute control of powerC. its democratic way of exercising leadershipD. its function in preserving personal freedom50. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _____ .A. in many countries success often depends on one's social statusB. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in AmericaC. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesDConfucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles.We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learnfrom those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people's strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people's lives.As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people's strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make you own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.51. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others.B. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn.C. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves.D. Reflecting upon other people's strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes.52. The underlined part “this type of learning”in the fourth paragraph probably refers to_______.A. learning from other people's mistakesB. learning from others' experiencesC. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people haveD. reflecting others' strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves53. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that _______.A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendshipB. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakesC. some reflection will help to improve ourselvesD. reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life54. The passage is probably taken from __________.A. a magazine about lifeB. a book about travelC. an advertisementD. a research report55. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. How to improve oneself.B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.C. How to reduce the mistakes in one's life.D. How to learn from other people's strengths and shortcomings.第II卷（非选择题共35分）第二节：写作（共两节；满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger ferociously may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.56. What’s the author’s purpose by writing this passage? (No more than 15 words)57.
