]Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are takingPassage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk st arting separate households, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.”He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.Today’s economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply deeply invested in the students‟ success.“We‟re constantly talking about one another‟s advisers,” invested in the students‟ success.“We‟re constantly talking about one another‟s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn‟t doing well in math, or see them sitt sitting outside the dean‟s office, it‟s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a ing outside the dean‟s office, it‟s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some.

The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams.

The 12-year-old is on Instagram instead. Her mother, Maria McPhail, agreed to let her download the app（应用软件）onto her iPod Touch, because she thought she was fostering an interest in photography. But Ms. McPhail, of Austin, Texas, has learned that Celina and her friends mostly use the service to post Photoshopped photo-jokes and text messages they create on another free app called Versagram.When kids can’t get on Facebook, “they’re good at f inding ways around that,” she says.B）It’s harder than ever to keep an eye on the children. Many parents limit their preteens’ access to well-known sites like Facebook and monitor what their children do online. But with kids constantly seeking new places to connect—preferably, unsupervised by their families—most parents are learning how difficult it is to prevent their kids from interacting with social media. C）Children are using technology at ever-younger ages. About 15% of kids under the age of 11 have their own mobile phone, according to eMarketer. The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project reported last summer that 16% of kids aged from 12 to 17 who are online used Twitter, double the number from two years earlier.D）Parents worry about the risks of online predators and bullying, and there are other concerns. Kids are creating permanent public records, and they may encounter excessive or inappropriate advertising. Yet many parents also believe it is in their kids’ interest to be expert in technology. E）As families grapple with how to use social media safely, many marketers are working to create social networks and other interactive applications for kids that parents will approve. Some go even further, seeing themselves as providing a crucial education in online literacy—“training wheels for social media”, as Rebecca Levey, founder of social media site KidzVuz puts it.F）Last week, 20 companies pitched online and mobile products for kids in Pasadena, Calif., at the 6th annual Digital Kids Conference. This summer, Microsoft and Scholastic will help sponsor the first Digital Family Summit in Philadelphia. Scholastic will preview a new version of Storia, an interactive e-reading application aimed at kids ages 3 to 14. “As kids migrate more to devices, we don’t want to be left out,”says Deborah Forte, president of Scholastic Media.G）“Digital media is a great thing for kids; even a 12-year-old can have a personal brand,”says Stephanie Schwab, the founder of the Digital Family convention. Her 3-year-old uses an iPad every day. When Ms. Schwab recently wondered out loud what the weather was like, her son responded, “Ask Siri.”H）KidzVuz is a social media start-up aimed at teaching kids how to create content at an early age. Kids create a profile with a handle （say, “GossipGirl”）but no name, and parents have to approve the account. Kids then create video reviews of books, films, food and clothes. There is no private messaging, and comments are actively monitored for nastiness. The site was launched by two technologically active mothers in New York City. One co-founder, Ms. Levey, says the idea is to create a safe place for children to learn how to communicate effectively and politely on a medium that will be key to their social, academic and economic lives.I）Faith King, a 9-year-old third grader in RedBank, N.J., says since she started posting video reviews to KidzVuz, she has learned important lessons of film production. “You need to make sure the lights are on so people can see you,”she says. She also has learned to focus on interesting contents. “Don’t review a dictionary,”she advises. Her mother, Cristie Ritz-King, says her daughter’s love of the site has prompted many conversations about the importance of being skeptical about strangers online and questioning the accuracy of information. She wants her daughter to learn early on to be agile（机敏的）with social media. “It’s never going away,”she says.J）The University of Southern California’s Annenberg Innovation Lab has created Playground, a social platform for school-age students. The idea is for kids to learn how to create Internet content —and to consider the implications of privacy, the permanence of a Web footprint, the basics of brand building and a little about online manners. Educators need to teach Internet literacy at anearly age, says Erin Reilly, Playground’s creator. “Kids are always going to find a back door for communication and coll aboration,” she says.K）Along with established social sites for kids, such as Walt Disney Co.’s Club Penguin, kids are flocking to newer sites such as , a meeting place aimed at girls’ ages 5 to 12 who are interested in designing clothes, and Everloop, a social network for kids under the age of 13. Viddy, a video-sharing site which functions similarly to Instagram, is becoming more popular with kids and teenagers as well.L）Some kids do join YouTube, Google, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter, despite policies meant to bar kids under 13. These sites require that users enter their date of birth upon signing up, and they must be at least 13 years old. Apple—which requires an account to download apps like Instagram to an iPhone—has the same requirement. But there is little to bar kids from entering a false date of birth or getting an adult to set up an account. Instagram declined to comment.M）“If we learn that someone is not old enough to have a Google account, or we receive a report, we will investigate and take the appropriate action,”says Google spokesman Jay Nancarrow. He adds that users first have a chance to demonstrate that they meet our age requirements. If they don’t, we will close the account. Facebook and most other sites have similar policies.N）Still, some children establish public identities on social media networks like YouTube and Facebook with their parents’ permission. Autumn Miller, a 10-year-old from Southern California, has nearly 6,000 people following her Facebook fan-page postings（博文）, which include links to videos of her in makeup and costumes, dancing Laker-Girl style. Autie’s Freestyle Friday Dance Channel on YouTube has nearly 13,000 subscribers and hosts 39 videos that have logged in excess of 3.5 million views.O）Facebook’s “fan pages”—in which brands can establish a Facebook presence and those who “like”the brand can see its postings—are supposed to be managed by someone of appropriate age to have a profile page, according to Andrew Noyes, Facebook’s manager of public policy communications. Autie’s father Mr. Miller confirmed that his daughter mostly succeeds in overseeing her own fan page with parental supervision.P）But many parents and children find themselves in an evasive（躲躲闪闪的）dance online. Alexa Ashley’s mother, Lisa, allowed her on Facebook at 13—then took the account away. When she learned that her daughter, now 14, had an Instagram account and wanted to check it out, Alexa bristled at her mother’s interest. Alexa says she doesn’t mind being barred from Facebook—where her grandmother’s comments embarrassed her. She is sticking with Instagram for now.46. In spite of different kinds of concerns, many parents still think it is good for their kids to be skilled in internet technology.47. The more electronic devices are being used by children, the more markets the internet companies are longing to occupy.48. Maria McPhail allowed her 12-year-old daughter to download the app of Instagram because she believed her daughter was interested in photography.49. Parents’ watch and control can help children manage their own fan pages.50. Despite the age limitations, some kids fake their birthdates to open an online account.51. Being skeptical about strangers online and questioning the accuracy of information are very important.52. No kids can send or receive private messages on KidzVuz and their reviews are under severe control.53. Proper measures will be adopted by Google if its users are not old enough to have Google accounts.54. When Ms. Schwab asked about the weather conditions, her son advised her to seek help from Siri.55. Under the permission of parents, some children create public accounts on social media networks such as YouTube and Facebook.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked ［A］, ［Ｂ］, ［Ｃ］and ［Ｄ］You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.As anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. That’s partially because it appears people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and exert more effort, to achieve those goals.What’s far less understood by scientists, however, are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting.Newspapers relay daily accounts of goal-setting prevalent in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-trumpeted practice of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and unethical （不道德的）behavior in general.“Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to exert more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in unethical behaviors,” says Mauri ce Schweitzer, an associate professor at Penn’s Wharton School.“It turns out there’s no economic benefit to just having a goal—you just get a psychological benefit.”Schweitzer says, “But in many cases, goals have economic rewards that make them more powerful.”A prime example Schweitzer and his colleagues cite is the 2004 collapse of energy-trading giant Enron, where managers used financial incentives to motivate salesmen to meet specific revenue goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is the actual trades were not profitable.Other studies have shown that saddling employees with unrealistic goals can compel them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears imposed a sales quota on its auto repair staff. It prompted employees to overcharge for work and to complete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.Schweitzer concedes his research runs counter to a very large body of literature that commends the many benefits of goal-setting. Advocates of the practice have taken issue with histeam’s use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-prescribed.In a rebuttal （反驳）paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: “Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot thrive without being focused on their desired end results any more than an individual can thrive without goals to provide a sense of purpose.”But Schweitzer contends the “mounting causal evidence”linking goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help spotlight issues that merit caution and further investigation. “Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh man y positive effects,” he says.“Goal-setting does help coordinate and motivate people. My idea would be to combine that with careful oversight, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harm the organization,” Schweitzer says.56. What message does the author try to convey about goal-setting?［A］Its role has been largely underestimated.［B］The goals most people set are unrealistic.［C］The goals increase people’s work efficiency.［D］Its negative effects have long been neglected.57. What does Maurice Schweitzer want to show by citing the example of Enron?［A］Financial incentives ensure companies meet specific revenue goals.［B］Setting realistic goals can turn a failing business into success.［C］Goals with financial rewards have strong motivational power.［D］Businesses are less likely to succeed without setting realistic goals.58. How did Sears’ goal-setting affect its employees?［A］They resorted to unethical practice to meet their sales quota.［B］They improved their customer service on a companywide basis.［C］They were obliged to work more hours to increase their sales.［D］They competed with one another to attract more customers.59. What do advocates of goal-setting think of Schweitzer’s research?［A］It exaggerates the side effects of goal-setting.［B］Its conclusion is not based on solid scientific evidence.［C］It runs counter to the existing literature on the subject.［D］Its findings are not of much practical value.60. What is Schweitzer’s contention against Edwin Locke?［A］Goal-setting has become too deep-rooted in corporate culture.［B］Studying goal-setting can throw more light on successful business practices.［C］The link between goal-setting and harmful behavior deserves further study.［D］The positive effects of goal-setting outweigh its negative effects.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For most of the 20th century, Asia asked itself what it could learn from the modern, innovating West. Now the question must be reversed: what can the West’s overly indebted and sluggish （经济滞长的）nations learn from a flourishing Asia?Just a few decades ago, Asia’s two giants were stagnating （停滞不前）under faulty economic ideologies. However, once China began embracing free-market reforms in the 1980s, followed by India in the 1990s, both countries achieved rapid growth. Crucially, as they opened up their markets, they balanced market economy with sensible government direction. As the Indian economist Amartya Sen has wisely said, “The invisible hand of the market has often relied heavily on the visible hand of government.”Contrast this middle path with America and Europe, which have each gone ideologically overboard in their own ways. Since the 1980s, America has been increasingly clinging to the ideology of uncontrolled free markets and dismissing the role of government—following Ronald Reagan’s idea that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”Of course, when the markets came crashing down in 2007, it was decisive government intervention that saved the day. Despite this fact, many Americans are still strongly opposed to “big government.”If Americans could only free themselves from their antigovernment doctrine, they would begin to see that America’s problems are not insoluble. A few sensible federal measures could put the country back on the right path. A simple consumption tax of, say, 5% would significantly reduce the country’s huge government deficit without damaging productivity. A small gasoline tax would help free America from its dependence on oil imports and create incentives for green energy development. In the same way, a significant reduction of wasteful agricultural subsidies could also lower the deficit. But in order to take advantage of these common-sense solutions, Americans will have to put aside their own attachment to the idea of smaller government and less regulation. American politicians will have to develop the courage to follow what is taught in all American public-policy schools: that there are good taxes and bad taxes. Asian countries have embraced this wisdom, and have built sound long-term fiscal （财政的）policies as a result.Meanwhile, Europe has fallen prey to a different ideological trap: the belief that European governments would always have infinite resources and could continue borrowing as if there were no tomorrow. Unlike the Americans, who felt that the markets knew best, the Europeans failed to anticipate how the markets would react to their endless borrowing. Today, the European Union is creating a $580 billion fund to ward off sovereign collapse. This will buy the EU time, but it will not solve the bloc’s larger problem.61. What has contributed to the rapid economic growth in China and India?［A］Copying western-style economic behavior.［B］Timely reform of government at all levels.［C］Free market plus government intervention.［D］Heavy reliance on the hand of government.62. What does Ronald Reagan mean by saying “government is the problem”（Lines 3-4, Para. 3）?［A］Many social ills are caused by wrong government policies.［B］Many social problems arise from government inefficiency.［C］Government action is key to solving economic problems.［D］Government regulation hinders economic development.63. What stopped the American economy from collapsing in 2007?［A］Abandonment of big government by the public.［B］Self-regulatory repair mechanisms of the free market.［C］Effective measures adopted by the government.［D］Cooperation between the government and businesses.64. What is the author’s suggestion to the American public in face of the government deficit?［A］They give up the idea of smaller government and less regulation.［B］They develop green energy to avoid dependence on oil import.［C］They urge the government to revise its existing public policies.［D］They put up with the inevitable sharp increase of different taxes.65. What’s the problem with the European Union?［A］Conservative ideology.［B］Shrinking market.［C］Lack of resources.［D］Excessive borrowing.Part IV Translation （30 minutes）Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2012年6月英语六级真题及答案
2012年6月大学英语六级(CET-6)真题试卷PartⅠWriting(30minutes)注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上。
Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a composition on the topic The Impact of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication.You should write at least150words but no more than200words.The Certificate CrazePart II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15minutes) Directions:In this part,you will have15minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet1.For questions1-7,choose the best answer from the fourchoices marked A),B),C)and D).For questions8-10,complete the seen tenses withthe information given in the passage.The Three-Year SolutionHartwick College,a small liberal-arts school in upstate New York,makes New York,makes this offer to well prepared students:earn your undergraduate degree in three years instead of four, and save about543,000—the amount of one year’s tuition and fees.A number of innovative colleges are making the same offer to students anxious about saving time and money.That’s both an opportunity and a warning for the best higher-education system in the world.The United States has almost all of the world’s best universities.A recent Chinese survey ranks35American universities among the top50,eight among the top10.Our research universities have been the key to developing the competitive advantages that help Americans produce25%of all the world’s wealth.In2007,623,805of the world’s brightest students were attracted to American universities.Yet,there are signs of peril(危险)within American higher education.U.S.colleges have to compete in the marketplace.Students may choose among6,000public,private,nonprofit,for profit, or religious institutions of higher learning.In addition,almost all of the532billion the federal government provides for university research is awarded competitively.But many colleges and universities are stuck in the past.For instance,the idea of thefall-to-spring“school year”hasn’t changed much since before the American Revolution,when we were a summer stretch no longer makes sense.Former George Washington University president Stephen Trachtenberg estimates that a typical college uses its facilities for academic purposes a little more than half the calendar year.“While college facilities sit idle,they continue to generate maintenance expenses that contribute to the high cost of running a college,”he has written.Within academic departments,tenure(终身职位)，combined with age-discrimination laws, makes faculty turnover—critical for a university to remain current in changing times—difficult. Instead of protecting speech and encouraging diversity and innovative thinking,the tenure system often stifles(压制)them:younger professors must win the approval of established colleagues for tenure,encouraging like-mindedness and sometimes inhibiting the free flow of ideas.Meanwhile,tuition has soared,leaving graduating students with unprecedented loan debt. Strong campus presidents to manage these problems are becoming harder to find,and to keep.Infact,students now stay on campus almost as long as their presidents.The average amount of time students now take to complete an undergraduate degree has stretched to six years and seven months as students interrupted by work,inconvenienced by unavailable classes,or lured by one more football season find it hard to graduate.Congress has tried to help students with college costs through Pell Grants and other forms of tuition support.But some of their fixes have made the problem worse.The stack of congressional regulations governing federal student grants and loans now stands twice as tall as I do.Filling out these forms consumes7%of every tuition dollar.For all of these reasons,some colleges like Hartwick are rethinking the old way of doing things and questioning decades-old assumptions about what a college degree means.For instance, why does it have to take four years to earn a diploma?This fall,16first-year students and four second-year students at Hartwick enrolled in the school’s new three year degree program. According to the college,the plan is designed for high-ability,highly motivated student who wish to save money or to move along more rapidly toward advanced degrees.By eliminating that extra year,there year degree students save25%in costs.Instead of taking 30credits a year,these students take40.During January,Hartwick runs a four week course during which students may earn three to four credits on or off campus,including a number of international sites.Summer courses are not required,but a student may enroll in them—and pay extra.Three year students get first crack at course registration.There are no changes in the number of courses professors teach or in their pay.The three-year degree isn’t a new idea.Geniuses have always breezed through.Judson College, a350-student institution in Alabama,has offered students a three-year option for40years.Students attend“short terms”in May and June to earn the credits required for graduation.Bates College in Maine and Ball State University in Indiana are among other colleges offering three-year options.Changes at the high-school level are also helping to make it easier for many students to earn their undergraduate degrees in less time.One of five students arrives at college today with Advanced Placement(AP)credits amounting to a semester or more of college level work.Many universities,including large schools like the University of Texas,make it easy for these AP students to graduate faster.For students who don’t plan to stop with an undergraduate degree,the three-year plan may have an even greater appeal.Dr.John Sergent,head of Vanderbilt University Medical School’s residency(住院医生)program,enrolled in Vanderbilt’s undergraduate college in1959.He entered medical school after only three years as did four or five of his classmates.”My first year of medical school counted as my senior year,which meant I had to take three to four labs a week to get all my sciences in.I basically skipped my senior year,”says Sergent.He still had time to be a student senator and meet his wife.There are,however,drawbacks to moving through school at such a brisk pace.For one,it deprives students of the luxury of time to roam(遨游)pressing everything into three years also leaves less time for growing up,engaging in extracurricular activities,and studying abroad.On crowded campuses it could mean fewer opportunities to get into a prized professor’s class.Iowa’s Waldorf College has graduated several hundred students in its three-year degree program,but it now phasing out the option.Most Waldorf students wanted the full four-year experience—academically,socially,and athletically.And faculty members will be wary of any change that threatens the core curriculum in the name of moving students into the workforce.“Most high governmental officials seem to conceive of education in this light—as a way to ensure economic competitiveness and continued economic growth,”Derek Bok,former president of Harvard,told The Washington Post.“I strongly disagree with this approach.”Another risk:the new campus schedules might eventually produce less revenue for the institution and longer working hours for faculty members.Adopting a three-year option will not come easily to most school.Those that wish to tackle tradition and make American campus more cost-conscious may find it easier to take Trachtenberg’s advice:open campuses year-round.“You could run two complete colleges,with two complete faculties,”he says.“That’s without cutting the length of students’vacations,increasing class sizes,or requiring faculty to teach more.”Whether they experiment with three-year degrees,offer year-round classes,challenge the tenure system—or all of the above—universities are slowly realizing that to stay competitive and relevant they must adapt to a rapidly changing world.Expanding the three-year option may be difficult,but it may be less difficult than asking Congress for additional financial help,asking legislators for more state support,or asking studentseven higher tuition payments.Campuses willing to adopt convenient schedules along with more focused,less-expensive degrees may find that they have a competitive advantage in attracting bright, motivated students.These sorts of innovations can help American universities avoid the perils of success.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。
2012年6月英语CET6真题及答案
2012年6月全国大学英语六级考试试卷PartⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth) (25minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.In face of global warming, much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies. But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.In the meantime, the amount of CO2 in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “As long as we’re consuming fossil fuels, we’re putting out CO2,”says Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia, University” We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely.”That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2, which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions thought needed to reduce global warming.“We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integra l role in reducing emissions,” says Kim Corley, Shell’s senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs. That forward thinking strategy is gaining support. The U.S. Department of Energy recently proposed putting $1 billion into a new $2.4 billion coal-burn ing energy plant. The plant’s carbon-capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal-burning plants.But what do you do with the gas once you’ve captured it? One option is to put it to new uses. Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts coal into synthetic natural gas. It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations. In the Netherlands, Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses, increasing their yield of fruits and vegetables.However, scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long-term storage. Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline(盐的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.1.目前许多商品存在过度包装的现象2.出现这一现象的原因3.我对这一现象的看法和建议On Excessive PackagingPart Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1. For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A)，B)，C）and D). For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year's list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency.A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签)，such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423-among the top 2% in the country-on Newsweek's annual ranking of America's top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale's students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) "Hillsjail. " Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, "How did that student graduate?"So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three "houses," romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of "advisory" classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students' success."We're constantly talking about one another's advisers," says English teacher Chris Crockett. "If you hear that yours isn't doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean's office, it's like a personal failure." Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95."It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics," says Gilbert "Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them."But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is alsoits strength: it's easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they'd like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation."It is impossible to know which high schools are 'the best' in the nation, "their letter read. in part. "Determining whether different schools do or don't offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students' overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities."In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won't be necessary.注意：此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1．Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic eff i ciency. A great er choice of courses, and, of course, better f ootball teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-off s this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the diff iculty of f orging personal connections between teachersand students.SA T scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high s chool in f our years, a f igure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods.
