第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
The A-level question Have 22 continuous years of rises in A-level pass rate made the exam worthless? David Miliband, the minister for School Standards, insists the answer is a firm “no”. And he said it was wrong that “more will mean worse and more education for more people will mean lower standards”. Figures show that —despite the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent — only 22,000 out of 600,000 18-year-olds gain three A-grade passes. Put another way, that means — in a primary class of 30 pupils — only one will get three A-grades. The center right Bow Group, in a pamphlet published today, however, says nine out of ten scholars believe A-grades have been devalued over the past ten years.
Two inquiries (调查) — both set up by the Government's exams watchdogs — one of which included independent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any “dumping down” of A-level standards. But while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.
As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an A-level during the course of their two years of study. Only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the end-of-term exam. This makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.
Mr Miliband said yesterday, “My argument is not that today's generation of pupils are cleverer than their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them.”
46. From the writer's point of view, the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent shows ______.
A. it is generally thought more education means lower standards
B. the rise in the A-level pass rate has made the exam worthless
C. the quality of the 18-year-olds has become lower
D. it is still hard for the general pupils to get three A-grade passes
47. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the exams watchdogs
B. the independent teaching experts
C. the A-level standards
D. the two inquiries
48. As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000 ______.
A. the pass rate for A-levels was set to rise continuously
B. the exam became easier than it had been before 2000
C. pupils could have many more choices of test after 2000
D. it soon became popular with teachers and pupils
49. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. How reliable and effective the A-level grading system is.
B. How the A-level system helps universities select pupils.
C. How the pass rate has been increased in recent years.
D. How the A-level grading system has changed over the years.

About six years ago I was eating l unch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy —54____________—replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind 55_____. As far as I can remember, my friends
and I didn't find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were
in high school.
56_______. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like
adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different.
Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on
p atterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another
usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have
always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally,
57________.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been
equipped in 98 percent of American homes. 58_____. Television passes information
to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the
temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the
less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of
control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read
simple books before they can read complex materials.
A. we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders
B. who could not have been more than seven or eight years old
C. It is called television
D. Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years
E. because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing.

IV．短文改错
I ever worked as a tour guide. One day I saw advertisement in the newspaper. I rang
up the company, but I was given the job immediate. They asked me to take a tour around
the city next morning. The manager just told me to say anything that I could think
about the city. My first tour is terrible. The old bus was not air-conditioned,
because it was the middle of summer. It was uncomfortable inside the bus. The tourist
soon became very hot and angry. I owned a very hard time. I stayed there for a few
weeks, and then left and joined in a better company.

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Many people believe that the world's supply of fresh water will never be used
up .They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always
sufficient for use .Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.
As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore ,with the
rapid growth of the world's population ,the rising demand for water by industry ,and
the serious pollution of our surroundings ,the world is facing the danger of running
out of fresh water .Actually ,in some big cities ,fresh water cannot meet the daily
needs.
Therefore ,to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First ,we should
pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second ,scientists must work even
harder to purify sea water and polluted water ,and try to find substitutes to reduce
the use of fresh water.

Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘) of the countries of northern Europe. Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food. Then Finish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered by its western neighbouring Sweden. After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic Wars(1814-1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
The years between the First and Second World War were years of progress and growing development. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation's wealth lies in the timber(木材) from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and it the electric power from its water.

Mauritius, an island country, lies 1, 200 miles off the southeastern coast of Africa, and just east of Madagascar, another African island country, which is larger by far than Mauritius. It covers 788 square miles and has a population of 1, 100, 000, about 750, 000 Indians, 300, 000 Clioers, 30, 000 Chinese and 20, 000 Whites included. They are living together peacefully.
The country can be divided into many parts with different climates all because of its peculiar terrains（地形）. In the center there are volcanoes several thousand feet high, and 90 percent of its arable land is covered with sugarcane.
There were no people living on the island before the Dutch landed on it in 1638. The Dutch abandoned it in 1710, and five years later, the French came and succeeded in planting sugarcane there. It was conquered by Britain in 1810.
Mauritius was extremely poor when it declared its independence in 1968. In the past ten years, obvious economic prosperity（繁荣）has shown itself in this island country.

The USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world saw the great peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?
First, one major cause of the departure among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to hunger. Another was politics. Many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.
Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the failure of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to make a new start in America.
Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.
But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling out for labour, and pay and conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and develop commerce. There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace.
As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally awfu l fate of the American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a only 488000 free blacks.
Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to the ambitious and the energetic who are ready to commit themselves to the land that gives them a second chance.
