Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

They worked together and started to further American Revolution and later to shape the official new plan of the government,21 (develop) a close friendship, which lasted for 50 years. There were 22 (share) purposes and a common end on both sides. Four and a half months 23 he died, when he was ill and worried about his family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madison’s reply remind us that friends are friends till death.“The friendship which 24 (exist) between us for half a century, the harmony of our political principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. It’s also been a great comfort to me 25 (believe) that you are engaged in vindicating(证实) to the younger generation the course that we’ve pursued for preserving to them. If ever the earth has noticed a system of administration conducted with 26 single and keen eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to, it must be the system protected by truth, to 27 our lives have been devoted. To myself, you have been a great supporter throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you mylast affections.”A week later, Madison replied.“You cannot look back 28 the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. 29 they are a source of pleasure to you,they are the same to me. We cannot be deprived(失去)of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public goodand I have confidence 30 sufficient evidence will find its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld while we are here.”Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.He Is KindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed not to havechanged from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to 31 himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife 32 me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists, he finds it 33 to produce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The Vegetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still 34 light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. No one else can touch his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and35 of character. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will36 .Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he 37 great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it, he criticizes with passionate earnestness.I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelist’s book, to take what must have been hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful 38 .Just what he will write in the future remains 39 . With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be 40 the seeminglyunavoidable modern girls.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效) Quality teaching depends on not just teachers’knowledge and skills but on the environmentin which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work 41 with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their 42 .If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the 43 of each aspect of their work—a practice reinforced by their accreditation(评定) requirements, — schools must have such regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and his colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school 44 , like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, 45 samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, 46 looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make 47 about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the 48 and comparability of school-based assessments (as in England and Australia), as well as school’s internal assessment and evaluation process (as in Hong Kong).In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ 49 and progress in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social 50 , the acquisition of workplace skills and the 51 to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a 52 lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedbackon what the inspectors both saw and53 . Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert54 and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be 55 if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42.A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices43.A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements44.A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. consideration45.A. taking B. improving C. examining D. copying46.A. as far as B. rather than C. other than D. as well as47.A. judgments B. decisions C. inquiries D. suggestions48.A. quantity B. quality C. instruction D. support49. A. education B. performance C. attention D. interest50. A. responsibility B. structure C. resources D. benefits51. A. frequency B. consistence C. satisfaction D. extent52. A. comparable B. healthy C. different D. unique53. A. appreciated B. criticized C. recommended D. rewarded54. A. attention B. programs C. evaluation D. explanations55. A. set down B. put down C. closed down D. pulled downSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSWarning from ExpertsA growing amount of human-made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)—from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites —is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “This is a gro wing environmental problem,”said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35,000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an object’s orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem,” Johnson admits. “It’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove space junk.B. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly needed.D. Human activities generate much orbital debris.57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches.B. Space junk is endangering human beings’ space activities.C. It’s necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junk.D. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft.58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?A. Reasonable.B. Unbelievable.C. Reliable.D. Impractical.(B)ABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submitto iris(虹膜) scans, as the technology that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.The Freehold Borough School District launched this Array high-techsecurity system on Monday with funding from theDepartment of Justice as part of a study on the system’seffectiveness.As many as four adults can be authorized to pick up each childin the district, but in order to be authorized to come into school,they will be asked to register with the district’s irisrecognition security and visitor management system. At thispoint, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm andred flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like Orlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details— far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urban school to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pick up a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.59. Why does the Freehold Borough School District adopt the iris security system?A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.60. What’s the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.61. How does Phil Meara help to ensure the safety of children?A. By persuading people to register with the security system.B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.C. By asking the department of justice to fund the program.D. By turning to Orlando International Airport for help.62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan System.B. Security Management Needs Improving.C. High Technology Comes to School.D. Iris Scanners Are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-lb. bodyflew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round corn puffs across the room. Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board Con-Tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off. Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.It was only 7:30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain,a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well. The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. “I did very poorly in school,” she recalls. Her teachers and parents were constantly on her case for tough behavior. “They just felt I was being bad--- too loud, too physical, too everything.” A naughty tomboy with few friends, she saw a psychologist at age 10. “but nobody came up with a diagnosis”. As a teenager she began prescribing her own medication: marijuana, and later cocaine.The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma. “I would study and study, and I wouldn’t remember a t hing.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given inthe box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than youneed.The Minoans: A Forgotten PeopleThe first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years,knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologistsbegan to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Cretenear mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think thatit was the palace of King Minos, acentral figure in many Greek myths.67 With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, variedworks of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, compriseall that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of theirtime.The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughoutthe ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads.In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade.68 These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.69 Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classesenjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons(图符) show that Minoansworshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visualarts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumpedover live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose,experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showedpolitical and religious themes, other works served only as pleas ant décor(装饰品).70The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe thatgroup from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time.These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles becameknown as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians andplebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, theyinherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers andworkers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred fromholding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were notwritten down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained theright to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders.In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of theRoman Republic. In about 450,B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the TwelveTables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342B.C.,a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B.C. many plebeians had becomeso powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility.From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials werenot paid a salary, only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles stillcontrolled the republic.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in thebrackets.。

New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark．The research， published in Science Magazine， found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world． The gray﹣colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland， the world's largest island． After examining one of these sharks， scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400years ago and died out recently．An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate （估计） the ages of 28dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes． It is a new way to learn the age of an animal． Eight of the sharks were probably 200years old or more， andcould even have been 300years old． That would make them older than some whales，which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211years old，according to the Associated Press．This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans． Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties． African elephants average about 70years． The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5meters long． It was thought to have been 392years old when it was caught four years ago． However， because the testing method is so new， it is not exact．The study's lead author is Julius Nielsen， a marine biologist from Denmark． He says the 392number could have an error range of 120years in either direction． That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500and 1740， with 1620being the most likely．'It's an estimate． It's not a determination，' Nielsen said． 'It is the best we can do．' Even at the lowest age， the shark would have been 272years old when it died and still would be the longest﹣living animal with a backbone， Nielsen said．'I don't know why they get as old， but I hope someone will find out，' Nielsen said．（1）According to Science Magazine， the Greenland shark________．A） is the longest living animal on earthB） rarely lives in the cold water of the ArcticC） is an animal with a backboneD） still lives in the icy water now（2）A new way to learn the age of a female animal is________．A） to estimate it by a biologistB） to examine its skinC） to study the lenses of its eyesD） to discover the place of its birth（3）The discovery means if people live into eighties， the shark might live into________ years old．A） almost 200B） less than 211C） over 320D） at least 450（4）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？________A） The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long．B） It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392years old．C） Julius Nielsen says the 392number could have an error range of 120years．D） Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born．（5）The author will probably write about________ after the last paragraph．A） the discovery of why sharks get so oldB） the living habits of the sharksC） the reasons why sharks disappearedD） the bad side of the sharks（6）The best title of the passage may probably be "________"．A） A new way to study the sharksB） Caring for the sharksC） Best Animal with a backbone on EarthD） Longest living animal with a backbone on Earth39. The Thanksgiving turkey is the cause of stress for me． I have（1）_______ it as an enemy on Thanksgiving．Over the years I had tried just every method of cooking the turkey． When I just got married I tried the traditional pan roasting method． But I forgot to buy my turkey （2）_______ the day before Thanksgiving． And I bought a big one because I wanted to be sure to have enough turkey for everyone． Unfortunately, it wasn't thawed （解冻） by the time I needed to cook it． I ended up with a dry turkey overcooked on the outside and rarely done （3）_______． And I had lots and lots of leftover turkey because nobody liked it．The following year I was busy with a baby． So again I forgot to buy my turkey in time to get it （4）_______ thawed． I had to be up most of the night before Thanksgiving running cold water over my turkey to get it thawed． The turkey ended up turning out okey but I was so tired and sleepy by the time I served dinner．The next year I got a method of cooking turkey from local radio in early November． I was （5）_______ to give it a try． Making that turkey was like taking care of a baby for nearly two days． I was so pleased with that turkey． I thought it was going to be the best tasting turkey ever since it was the most （6）_______ I ever put in making turkey． But that didn't happen． Nobody liked the flavour of the turkey．I decided not to make one this year． But my family thought it wasn't Thanksgiving without turkey． The Thanksgiving turkey has been a yearly joke at our house and when I don't make one there is nothing to complain about．（1）A visitedB ） consideredC ） heardD ） told（2）A beforeB ） afterC ） untilD ） since（3）A on the surfaceB ） on the topC ） at the bottomD ） in the middle（4）A completelyB ） carefullyC ） easilyD ） slowly（5）A afraidB ） responsibleC ） surprisedD ） ready（6）A moneyB ） workC ） powerD ） water40.

The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery． The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship．The ship sailed from New York on 7tℎ November， 1872， for the port of Genoa in Italy． It was carrying a cargo （货物） of 1，700barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35，000dollars． There were 10people on board the ship： the captain， Briggs， his wife，Sarah， their two﹣year﹣old daughter， and seven crewmen． Briggs had a good fame as a captain． He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol．The mystery begins on 15tℎ November， 1872． The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship， Captain Morehouse． Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control． He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor． There were no distress （求救） signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact， so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste． There was nobody on board!There didn't seem to be much wrong with the ship： it was not in danger of sinking， so there was no need for panic． However， the ship's register and other paperwork were missing； the navigation instruments were missing； and everything on the ship，including the captain's bed， was wet through． Another important fact is that there wereno boats on board． And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa，nine barrels of alcohol were missing． Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts？Morehouse guessed that the crew must， for some reason， have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked． But why did they think it was sinking？ It is possible that， as the cargo was alcohol， there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic． The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking． Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas．It seems that（5）________now， but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions， and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!（1）Which place did the Mary Celeste leave for？________（2）What do you know about Briggs besides having a family of three people？________ （3）How did Morehouse feel when he saw the Mary Celeste was out of control？________ （4）Why did Morehouse guess that the crew panicked at that time？________（5）What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph？________（6）Where do you think all the people on the ship might go？ Show your possible reason （s）!________七、Writing （作文）（共20分）42.

Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed not to have changed from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to _ 31 himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife 32 far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists, he finds it 33 to produce a certain numberof short stories to make the wheels go around. That The Vegetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still 34 light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. No one else can touch his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet toput them in a novel with carefulness of conception and 35 of character. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will 36 .Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novelin a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he 37 great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it,he criticizes with passionate earnestness.

With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that fromit will be 40 the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效)Quality teaching depends on teachers' knowledge and skills but on the environmentin which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent c m focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work 41 with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomesof their 42 .If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just ashospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the 43 of each aspect of their work-a practice reinforced by their accreditation( if i) requirements,---schools must have such regular occasionsto examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and his colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right,school-level accountability can be supported by school _ 44 , like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schoolsby spending several days visiting classrooms, 45 samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, 46 looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make _ 47 about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the 48 and comparabilityof school-based assessments(as in England and Australia), as well as schools internal assessment and evaluation process(as in Hong Kong).I n most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ 49 and progress in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social_ 50 , the acquisition of workplace skills and the 51 to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices anda 52 lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedbackon what the inspections both saw and _ 53_ . Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert 54 and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be_ 55 if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42. A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices43. A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements44. A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. consideration45. A. taking B. improving C. examining D.copying46. A. as far as B. rather than C. other than D. as well as47. A. judgments B. decisions C. inquiries D. suggestions48.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSWarning from ExpertsA growing amount of human- made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)---from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites---- is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “This is a growing environmental problem,”said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35,000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space.Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an objects orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem,” Johnson admits. “I t’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove space junk.B. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly needed.D. Human activities generate much orbital debris.57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches.B. Space junk is endangering human beings' space activities.C. It's necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junk.D. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?A. Reasonable.B. Unbelievable.C. Reliable.D. Impractical.(B)ABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submit to iris(虹膜)scans, as the technology that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.this high-techsecurity system on Monday with fundingfrom the Department of Justice as part of a study onthe system’s effectiveness.As many as four adults can be authorized to pickup each child in the district, order to be authorizedto come into school, they will be asked to registerwith the district’s iris recognition security and visitor management system. At thispoint, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes analarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes justseconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country likeOrlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July.It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to irisscans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records240 unique details- far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzedin fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about onein 1.2 million and just one in 1. 44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive,the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in childprotection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school,he said, We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urbanschool to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had theeye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 ofthe nearly 1, 500 individuals available to pick up a student from school haveregistered for the eye scan system.59. Why does the Freehold Borough School District adopt the iris security system?A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.60. What's the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.61. How does Phil Meara help to ensure the safety of children?A. By persuading people to register with the security system.B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.C. By asking the department of justice to fund the program.D. By turning to Orlando International Airport for help.62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan System.B. Security Management Needs Improving.C. High Technology Comes to School.D. Iris Scanners Are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-lb. body flew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round corn puffs across the room. Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board con-tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off.Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.It was only 7: 30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain, a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well. The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. “I did very poorly in school,” she recalls. Her teachers and parents were constantly on her case for tough behavior. “They j ust felt I was being bad--- too loud, too physical, too everything.” A naughty tomboy with few friends, she saw a psychologist at age 10. “but nobody came up with a diagnosis”. As a teenager she began prescribing her own medication: marijuana, and later cocaine.The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma. “I would study and study, and I wouldn’t remember a thing. I really felt it was my fault.” After graduating, she did fine in physically active jobs but was anxious about administrative work. Then, four years ago, a doctor put a label on her troubles: ADHD. “I t's been such a weigh off my shoulders” says Bloomgarden, who takes both stimulant Ritalin and the antidepressant Zoloft to improve her c oncentration. “I had 38 years of thinking I was a bad person. Now I’m rewriting the tapes of who I thought I was to who I really am.”63. What does the phrase “throw a fit” in the 1st paragraph probably mean?A. turn oneself around casuallyB. fall down to the ground carelesslyC. lose ones temper suddenlyD. shout and complain loudly64. Why did Dusty Nash mess the room?A. He was reluctant to listen to his motherB. He couldn't focus on anything for a while.C. He forgot to take the medicine he usually took.D. He was afraid to see the doctor with his mother.65. The passage is chiefly concerned with .A. the visible symptoms of the disease ADHDB. the precise definition of the disease ADHDC. D usty’s experiences in his childhood and coll egeD. K arenne’s confessing of cheating to get a diploma66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dusty went to see his private doctor every week in the past yearsB. D usty’s mother took care of him till he was admitted to a college.C. A psychologist examined Karenne and cured her serious disease.D. Karenne didn't know herself well until she was diagnosed with ADHD. Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Minoans: A Forgotten PeopleThe first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousandsof years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19 h century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, acentral figure in many Greek myths.67 With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. 68 These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.69 Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons(图符)show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor(装饰品). 70The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B. C, a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B. C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我们必须尽快适应新环境。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效)Quality teaching depends on teachers' knowledge and skills but on the environmentin which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent c m focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work 41 with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomesof their 42 .If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just ashospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the 43 of each aspect of their work-a practice reinforced by their accreditation( if i) requirements,---schools must have such regular occasionsto examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and his colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right,school-level accountability can be supported by school _ 44 , like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schoolsby spending several days visiting classrooms, 45 samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, 46 looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make _ 47 about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the 48 and comparabilityof school-based assessments(as in England and Australia), as well as schools internal assessment and evaluation process(as in Hong Kong).I n most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ 49 and progress in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social_ 50 , the acquisition of workplace skills and the 51 to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices anda 52 lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedbackon what the inspections both saw and _ 53_ . Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert 54 and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be_ 55 if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSWarning from ExpertsA growing amount of human- made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)---from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites---- is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “This is a growing environmental problem,”said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35,000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space.Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an objects orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem,” Johnson admits. “I t’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove space junk.B. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly needed.D. Human activities generate much orbital debris.57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches.B. Space junk is endangering human beings' space activities.C. It's necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junk.D. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft58.

At thispoint, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes analarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes justseconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country likeOrlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July.It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to irisscans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records240 unique details- far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzedin fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about onein 1.2 million and just one in 1. 44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive,the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in childprotection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school,he said, We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urbanschool to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had theeye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 ofthe nearly 1, 500 individuals available to pick up a student from school haveregistered for the eye scan system.59.

Iris Scanners Are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-lb. body flew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round corn puffs across the room. Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board con-tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off.Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.It was only 7: 30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain, a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well. The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. “I did very poorly in school,” she recalls. Her teachers and parents were constantly on her case for tough behavior. “They j ust felt I was being bad--- too loud, too physical, too everything.” A naughty tomboy with few friends, she saw a psychologist at age 10. “but nobody came up with a diagnosis”. As a teenager she began prescribing her own medication: marijuana, and later cocaine.The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma. “I would study and study, and I wouldn’t remember a thing. I really felt it was my fault.” After graduating, she did fine in physically active jobs but was anxious about administrative work. Then, four years ago, a doctor put a label on her troubles: ADHD. “I t's been such a weigh off my shoulders” says Bloomgarden, who takes both stimulant Ritalin and the antidepressant Zoloft to improve her c oncentration. “I had 38 years of thinking I was a bad person. Now I’m rewriting the tapes of who I thought I was to who I really am.”63. What does the phrase “throw a fit” in the 1st paragraph probably mean?A. turn oneself around casuallyB. fall down to the ground carelesslyC. lose ones temper suddenlyD. shout and complain loudly64. Why did Dusty Nash mess the room?A. He was reluctant to listen to his motherB. He couldn't focus on anything for a while.C. He forgot to take the medicine he usually took.D. He was afraid to see the doctor with his mother.65. The passage is chiefly concerned with .A. the visible symptoms of the disease ADHDB. the precise definition of the disease ADHDC. D usty’s experiences in his childhood and coll egeD. K arenne’s confessing of cheating to get a diploma66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dusty went to see his private doctor every week in the past yearsB. D usty’s mother took care of him till he was admitted to a college.C. A psychologist examined Karenne and cured her serious disease.D. Karenne didn't know herself well until she was diagnosed with ADHD. Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Minoans: A Forgotten PeopleThe first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousandsof years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19 h century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, acentral figure in many Greek myths.67 With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. 68 These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.69 Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons(图符)show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor(装饰品). 70The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.The Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B. C, a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B. C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我们必须尽快适应新环境。

For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths.____67____ With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records, These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. ____68_____ These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Expert analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. ____69____ Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have servedsome ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant décor(装饰品). ____70_____The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingThe Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B.C., a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B.C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not a important. Membership in the nobility was stillvery important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary, only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.V. Translation72. 我们必须尽快适应新环境。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A Great FriendshipThomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776. Could it have been any other year? They worked together and started to further American Revolution and later to shape the official new plan of government, ____21____ (develop) a close friendship, which lasted for 50 years. There were ____22_____(share) purposes and a common end on both sides. Four and a half months ____23___ he died, when he was ill and worried about his family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madison’s reply remind us that friends are friends till death.“The friendship which _____24_____ ( exist) between us for half a century, the harmony of our political principle s and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. It's also been a great comfort to me ____25____ (believe) that you are engaged in vindicating(证实) to the younger generation the course that we’ve pursued for preserving to them. If ever the earth has noticed a system of administration conducted with ____26____single and keen eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to, it must be the system protected by truth, to ___27____ our lives have been devoted. To myself, you have been a great supporter throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last a ffections.”A week later, Madison replied.“You cannot look back ____28____ the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. ____29____ they are a source of pleasure to you, it is the same to me. We cannot be deprived(失去) of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good and I have confidence ____30____ sufficient evidence will find its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld while we are here.”Section B.Directions：After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.He is kindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed to have changed a lot from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to __31__ himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife __32__ me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists he finds it __33__ to produce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The V egetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still __34__ light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. Not one of them can tough his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and __35__ ofcharacter. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will __36__.Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he __37__ great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it he criticizes with passionate earnestness. I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelist’s book, to take what must have been hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful __38__.Just what he will write in the future remains __39__. With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be __40__ the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AStandards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效) Quality teaching depends on not just teacher’s knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work __41__ with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their __42__.If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the __43__ of each aspect of their work – a practice reinforced by their accreditation(评定) requirements, - schools must have regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school __44__, like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, __45__ samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, __46__ looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make __47__ about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力) for principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the __48__ and comparability of school-based assessments (as in England and Australia), as well as school’s internal assessment and evaluation process (as in Hong Kong).In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ __49__ and progress on a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social __50__, the acquisition of workplace skills and the __51__ to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a __52__ lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedback on what the inspectors both saw and __53__. Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert __54__ and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be __55__ if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42. A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices43. A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements44. A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. considerationGB6017.1-20起重机械安全规程-第1部分45. A. taking B. improving C. examining D. copying46. A. as far as B. rather than C. other than D. as well as47.

A. appreciated B. criticized C. recommended D. rewarded54. A. attention B. programs C. evaluation D. explanations55. A. set down B. put down C. closed down D. pulled downSection B 22%(A)NA TIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSWarning from ExpertsA growing amount of human-made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)一from rocket stages and out-of-date satellite ---is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “ This is a growing environmental problem,” said Nicholas Jonson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused o limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13 000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson sand. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35, 000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an object's orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem. “Johnson admits. “It’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove spaces junkB. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly neededD. Human activities generate much orbital debris57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launchesB. Space junk is endangering human beings' space activitiesC. It's necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junkD. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?A. ReasonableB. UnbelievableC. ReliableD. Impractical(B)ABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submit to iris(虹膜) scans, as the techno logy that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.system on Monday with funding from the Department of Justice as part of a studyon the system’s effectiveness.As many as four adults can be authorized to pick up each child in thedistrict, but in order to be authorized to come into school, they will be asked toregister with the district’s iris recognition security and visit or management system.At this point, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like OrlandoInternationalAirport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details—far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urban school to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pick up a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.59. Why does the FreeholdBoroughSchool District adopt the eye scan security system?A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.60. What’s the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.61. How does Phil Meara help to protect the safety of children?A. By asking people to register with the security system.B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.C. By asking the department of justice to fund this program.D. By turning to OrlandoInternationalAirport for help.62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan SystemB. Security Management Needs Improving.C. High Technology Comes to SchoolD. Iris Scanners are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked.
