阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，AHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.56. How did the author get to know America?A.Fromherrelatives.B.Fromhermother.C.Frombooksandpictures.D.Fromradioprograms.

Teaching Is“One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”1. The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11-16),and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.Since the 1980s,the number of grad-uates who say they would“seriously consider”teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17%today.The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.2. The main drawback of secondary teaching,according to the report,is the low salary.Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs,and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers.Joanne Manners,24 is a good example:“I graduated in maths last year,and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher,but when I looked into the details , it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative（赚钱的）job these days .I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising,and so I decided not to become a teacher.”3 .It's not just about the money,however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline,and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past.Here's the view of Dave Hallam,an accountant from London:“I think parents are to blame .They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”4.“I love teaching;it's my passion.I've been a secondary-school teacher of Spanish for ten years now,and although it's a very demanding job,it's very satisfying.When I see my students passing their Spanish exams,or singing along to Spanish pop songs,It makes me feel so proud.” Says Brian Jones,who works in a secondary school in London.So what does he think the government should do to encourage more people to become teachers?“My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers.I find that I always have too much work to do.”5.The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one.It says that the government should raise teachers' pay significantly,to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign,with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers,to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work,in order to reduce stress on teachers.“Hopefully,”the report concludes,“these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teaching,and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future.” The government should promote teaching as a career by advertising______.A: discipline problemsB: Their childhood memoriesC: their stressD: more trainingE: because of its low payF: Its benefits

Teaching Is“One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”1. The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11～16),and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.Since the 1980s,the number of grad-uates who say they would“seriously consider” teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17%today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.2. The main drawback of secondary teaching,according to the report,is the low salary.Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs,and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers .Joanne Manners,24,is a good example.“I graduated in maths last year,and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher -but when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative（赚钱的）job these days.

问答题So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had. Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years. Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years. Changed Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told. Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major. Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!

问答题There is one passage in this section with 5 statements. Read the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. [1] For some people it is extreme education: 10-hour days, contracts with parents and very strict rules on behaviour in small, 200-pupil academies. The result in a new type of school in the US is 100% acceptance to college, test results as good as those in private schools, and teenagers from New York’s South Bronx district who play the viola like their neighbours in Manhattan. [2] James Verrilh, principal of the North Star Academy in Newark, America’s second poorest city, said: “These kids know drugs. These kids know crime and violence. Their fathers are in jail. We have a school culture here which is very different from the attitude they have when they first walk through the door. It’s a culture that tells them they can go to college.” [3] At the North Star Academy children like Charism and Queen-Ama smile politely as they shake your hand and welcome you in. About 85% of pupils are African-American and 90% get free school meals. Last year 80% got ‘proficient or advanced’ grades in maths, compared with just 28% in the local neighbourhood school. This was above the state average. Pupils work in silence with a professionalism they have learned during a three-day process. From the beginning pupils are taught to speak clearly, answer questions in full sentences and look the teacher in the eye. [4] Parents have to sign a three-way contract with their child and the principal, and must promise to participate themselves. When a child’s homework isn’t handed in by 8 am, there is a phone call home. When the parent doesn’t turn up for a meeting, their child is not allowed back into school until they turn up. There are signs saying ‘No excuses’ on the walls.‘I was working until 11 last night. I’m tired, but I know I’ve got to work,’ says one 11-year-old, as she finishes up her homework over breakfast. ‘Even my mother’s gone back to school since I’ve been here.’ Pupils are tested every six weeks and their results are examined carefully. [5] ‘As a principal of a small school, I know how every child is progressing and how they are behaving,’ says Mr. Verrilh. He also sits in on classes himself, observing the students and writing notes for the teachers. [6] North Star and other small schools like it have developed from the charter school movement in the US. The 3,500 charter schools are independent schools, funded by the state, and allowed more freedom to set policies, including their admissions procedures. North Star runs a lottery for admissions and has 1,800 children on the waiting list. Parents have to put their child’s name into the lottery; three times more girls apply than boys. [7] Mr. Verrilli strongly rejects the idea that his students might not be the ones most in need. ‘It’s quite wrong to say that parents from disadvantaged backgrounds don’t care about their kids’ education. Ninety five percent of parents just want a better education for their children. We’re not taking the best kids. I’m defensive about that. It’s something a lot of people say. How hard is it to put your child’s name down on a piece of paper?’ he said. [8] Every child who attends the Kipp (Knowledge is Power Programme) academy in south Bronx, New York, plays in its orchestra, the best school orchestra in New York. Every child can read music. Shirley Lee, a director of the Kipp academy in the Bronx, says the school works because there is a consistent structure throughout the school. ‘The truth and reality is that kids like structure,’ she said. ‘It’s about telling them what’s appropriate and them learning when to use it. I wouldn’t talk to you like I am now if I was out in some of these areas. But if we teach them to look in my eyes when I’m speaking to them, they will use that if they get stopped by the police and that will protect them.’ [9] In the UK, there is a growing political debate about the differences in academic achievement between rich and poor in schools in big cities. A recent report highlighted the growing gap in achievement and the government is trying to deal with this problem. Three London academies are experimenting with small school principles and last week a group of British teachers in training visited the US looking for methods they could use to deal with the problems of ‘complex urban education’. [10] Ark, a UK educational charity, is taking key components of the small school model into London academies. Lucy Heller, managing director of Ark, says: ‘It’s small schools, strict rules on behaviour and a firm belief that inner city children can be just as successful.’ The UK schools minister says small schools can teach disadvantaged children the skills that middle class children take for granted: ‘High ambition, zero tolerance of failure, an expectation that children will go to university and that schools will give them the education to go to university.’ [11] Ark is also helping to fund the 30 ‘Future Leaders’ group on the school leadership training scheme visiting the US. The trainees are expected to take some of the ideas they experience in the US back home to the UK. Many of them think it will be difficult to transfer the model to the UK, however. They talk about the fact that most of the US schools are middle schools, for 10 - 14 year-olds. The model has been tested less in the secondary school age group (11 - 18). They also ask where the money to fund smaller schools will come from, though others point out the fact that in the US facilities are basic. ‘They don’t even have interactive whiteboards,’ says one of the group’s mentors. ‘They just teach. Small schools might not be practical in the UK, but what I really want these new school leaders to take back is the sense of culture in these schools.’ QUESTIONS 1 - 5: For answers 1 - 5, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1．Newark is the poorest city in the US. 2．Pupils at the North Star Academy are better at maths than kids in the local neighborhood school. 3．If a pupil doesn’t hand in their homework by 8 am, the school calls their parents. 4．Mr. Verrilli graduated from Harvard University in 1989. 5．The UK is planning to start academies like the US schools.
