考题 Section III Reading Comprehension(60 minutes)Part ADirections :Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.Mark your answers on, ANSWER SHEET1.Text 1Competition for admission to the country's top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth realized it had reached a new level. Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Elisabeth is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information, she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we don't have a child yet. We're trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem. "Worries are spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent schools all told the same story: an oversupply of applicants, higher rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road," said Marilyn of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. " We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters. " Public opinion polls indicate that Americans' No. 1 concern is edu-cation .Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are tuming to private schools, even at price tags of well over $ 10,000 a year. "We're getting appli-cants from a broader area geographically than we ever have in the past," said Betsy of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. "Every Year ,there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of , there are a significant number without places ,"said Elisabeth.So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no easy way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to children of their gradu- ates. Some make the choice by drawing lots. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or be- cause too many applicants were boys.The worst thing a patent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform-for example, by push-ing them to read or do math exercises before they're ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all that's needed.41. From this text we learn that it is[A] harder to make a choice between public and private schools.[B] harder to go to private schools this year than before.[C] more difficult to go to public schools than to private schools.[D] as difficult to go to private schools this year as before.

考题 Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child form. a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(小柜)? Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms and cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provides relief for parents exhausted by making each donations to support schools.While parents can always turn off the television or the computer, they can’t keep advertising out of schools. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-month classroom broadcasts.Parents groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $ 18 million for the school.In St. Francis, Minn, school recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, say, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports, and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I.. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”However, Susan Linn, an educational experts, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and on products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”Reader, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for schools through donations?47. Why do schools allow ads into schools?A. To reduce parents’ burdens.B. To solve their finanical problems.C. To offer kids a wide choice of goods.D. To improve their students’ living conditions.48. Edward Saxon thinks that _____.A. schools choose ads carefullyB. ads in schools should not be too muchC. shcools should be a place free from adsD. in-schools do no harm to young kids.49. What is this passage mainly about?A. The negative efect of ads on kids.B. Efforts to stop in-school advertising.C. Whether ads should be allowed in schools.D. Whether Parents should run fundraisers for schools.50. Who are intended readers of the text?A. Parents B. Teachers C. Educators D. Businessmen

考题 共用题干 Early or Later Day Care The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive “attachment”period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and predispose to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental sepa-ration it entails,and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion. Firstly,anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example,in some tribal societies,such as the Ngoni,the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant a-lone—far from it .Secondly,common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread to-day if parents,care—takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out,and even if they were,the results would be certain to be complicat-ed and controversial.Thirdly,in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care,and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue. But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects.The possi- bility that such care might lead to,say,more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics.Whatever the long-term effects,parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with.Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness.At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy,and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time.The matter,then,is far from clear-cut,though experience and available evi- dence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants. Which of the following statements would Bowlby support?A: Children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children o-ver three.B: The first three years of one's life is extremely important to the later development of per-sonality.C: Early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illness in children.D: Statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day care for chil- dren at the age of three or older.

考题 共用题干 第三篇Valuing ChildhoodThe value of childhood is easily blurred(模糊)in today's world. Consider some recent developments:The child-murderers in the Jonesboro,Ark.schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced.Two boys, 7 and 8,were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will.Yet,as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed,the one boy who was able to address the court couldn't begin to explain his acts,though he tried to apologize.There may have been a motive-youthful jealousy and resentment.But a deeper question remains:Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner,moral restraint(束缚)?That question echoes for the accused in Chicago,young as they are.They wanted the girl's bicycle,a selfish impulse(冲动)common enough among kids.Redemption(拯救)is a practical necessity.How can value be restored to young lives distorted(扭曲)by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time,Despite horror at what was done,children are not一cannot be一dealt with as adults,not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. That's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources. Family instability(不稳定)contributes. So does economic stress. That void , however. can be filled. The work starts with parents,who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong.Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?Schools,too,have a role in building character.So do youth organizations.So do law enforcement agencies,which can do more to inform the young about laws,their meaning, and their observance(遵守). Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A:Parents should give their children instruction in morality.B:Schools should help create a moral sense in children.C:Law enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws.D:Youth organizations have no role to play in building character.

考题 问答题Practice 2  Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so.  Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them.  Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well.  Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.
