An executive who previously hadn’t b een particularly interested in home and health had become obsessed with homemaking during a stint of unemployment.Ms. Perez, 35, resolved to become an active volunteer for the duration of her search. She gave her time to a health-care concern, a housing program and a political campaign.The work bolstered her self-confidence. "Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s mu ch worse than yours," she says.Volunteer assignments are also great ways to meet powerful and well-connected people. Over a six-month period, her volunteering evolved into working as a paid consultant and then as a full-time employee, a job she still holds today. In all, she was unemployed for eight months.Continuing EducationEven as the economy improves, a jobless executive may face up to a year or more of unemployment. This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time.When laid off from the position of executive in a steel company near Cleveland, Mr. Bellavance, single and virtually debt free, shifted his finances into survival mode. He cashed out his pension, sold his house, unloaded t hings he didn’t needat garage sales, and rented an apartment with a roommate. Then, he says, "I signed up for every benefit I could find."But he wasn’t just waiting out the year. He spent the rest of his search updating his skills, including becoming certified in new database, project-management software and other related areas."People should not feel guilty about accepting government aid," he says, "I saw this in a lot of people. They felt they were some kind of loser for taking benefits. My advice is: Get all you can. You’ve been paying for these programs in your entire career, and you may as well start to benefit from them."Family MattersIn addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters. Many executives rediscover their children or find time to help their parents.Stanford Rappaport held three jobs in San Francisco, including high-tech and teaching positions. When he was laid off from the high-tech job last year, he knew it might be a long slog before he could get another post like it in the Bay Area.Mr. Rappaport’s remaining job, a part-time faculty position with City College of San Francisco, didn’t pay enough to support him. After a couple of months of searching with no results, he decided to escape the Northern California jobs meltdown. "My plan," he says, "was to get out of an expensive living situation, and either seek work in another section of the U.S. or overseas, for those two years." Mr. Rappaport, who speaks five languages, had worked overseas before.Before he found an assignment, his Arkansas-based mother was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness, and he was called into duty as a son. Mr. Rappaport was able to help his mother get her affairs in order not to interrupt his search by using a San Francisco mail drop and cell phone. "I continued to look for work in California while I was in Fayetteville, Ark., helping my mother through this crisis."Mr. Rappaport’s stay in Arkansas lasted six months. "It’s amazing that at this stage I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with my mother and improve her life and get a lot of things done for her. Most people never have that opportunity. I’m very thankful that I had the chance. It w as absolutely worth it," he says.One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver. He’d been feeling depressed and defeated when he left California, but after returning, he felt renewed. He landed a job with a former employer after returning to San Francisco and remains a part-time faculty member.Discovery and ExplorationInstead of spending time off lamenting your unemployed status, ask yourself: "Is there something I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t because of the demands of my job?"Michael Ross, 42, a former IT administrator in El Cerrito, Calif., recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business. "After 18 years at my formeremployer and how hard I had worked, I knew I had to recover, to get restored," he says, "I looked at this as an opportunity, rather than a penalty. This was very much about clearing space for me."At the executive level, even a very efficient and successful job search may be quite lengthy. It makes sense to spend that time in an enriching and productive manner. These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds. How you’ll look back on a period of unemp loyment depends on what you do with it.1. This passage mainly tells that being unemployed is actually lucky.2. Lisa Perez found a new interest in homemaking during the period of unemployment.3. Lisa Perez was always idle during the period of her unemployment.3. Being a volunteer is helpful because volunteer assignments can provide you with chances to meet powerful and well-connected people.4. After she got a new job, Lisa Perez regretted that she had done volunteering work.5. Unemployment means a lot of time, especially for those hard-charging executives who are not used to having any free time.6. Mr. Bellavance spent the rest of his search updating his skills such as computing.7. When unemployed, in addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some careerists take the opportunity to be in charge of all the domestic affairs.8. After staying with his sick mother as caregiver in Arkansas for six months, Mr. Rappaport unexpectedly gained9. Michael Ross resigned and spent part of his unemployment time playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in10. During the off-work period, the unemployed people can pursue service, continuing education and“成千上万人疯狂下载。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet1.Why We LaughWe start finding things laughable — or not laughable — early in life. An infant first smiles at approximately eight days of age. Many psychologists assume this is his first sign of simple pleasure— food, warmth and comfort. At six months or less, the infant laughs to express complex pleasures—such as the light of Mother's smiling face.Between the ages of six months and one year, the baby learns to laugh for essentially the same reasons he will laugh throughout his life, says Dr. Jacob Levine, associate professor of psychology at Yale University. Dr. Levine says that people laugh to express mastery over an anxiety. Picture what happens when a father throws his child into the air. The child will probably laugh—but not the first time. In spite of his enjoyment of "flying", he is too anxious to laugh. How does he know Daddy will catch him? Once the child realizes he will be caught, he is free to enjoy the game. But more importantly, says Dr. Levine, the child laughs because he has mastered an anxiety.Adult laughter is more subtle, but we also laugh at what we used to fear. The feeling of achievement, or lack of it, remains a crucial factor. Giving a first dinner party is an anxious event for a new bride. Will the food be good? Will the guests get along? Will she be a good hostess? Will the knives and forks, cups and saucers be all right? All goes well; the party is over. Now she laughs freely. Her pleasure from having proved her success is the foundation for her pleasure in recalling the evening activities. She couldn't enjoy the second pleasure without the first, more important one—her mastery of anxiety.Laughter is a social response triggered by cues. Scientists have not determined a brain center for laughter, and they are perplexed by patients with certain types of brain damage who go into laughing fits for no apparent reason. The rest of us require company, and a reason to laugh.When we find ourselves alone in a humorous situation, our usual response is to smile. Isn't it hue that our highest compliment to a humorous book is to say that "it made me laugh out of loud"? Of course, we do occasionally laugh alone; but when we do, we are, in a sense, socializing with ourselves. We laugh at a memory, or at a part of ourselves.Of course, we don't always need a joke to make us laugh. People who survive frightening situations, such as a fire or an emergency plane landing, frequently relate their story of the crisis with laughter. Part of the laughter express relief that everything is now all right. During a crisis, definitely, everyone mobilizes energy to deal with the potential problem. If the danger is avoided, we need to release that energy. Some people cry; others laugh.When we are made the target of a joke, either on a personal or impersonal level, we are emotionally involved in it. Consequently, we won't be able to laugh.Knowing that laughter blunts emotion, we can better understand why we sometimes laugh when nothing is funny. We laugh during moments of anxiety because we feel no mastery over the situation, claims Dr. Levine. He explains, "very often compulsive laughter is a learned response. If we laugh, it expresses good feelings and the fact that we are able to cope. When we're in a situation in which we can't cope, we laugh to reassure ourselves that we can!"How often have we laughed at a funeral or upon hearing bad news? We laugh to deny an unendurable reality until we are strong enough to accept it. Laughter also breaks our tension. However, we may also be laughing to express relief that the tragedy didn't happen to us. We laugh before giving a big party, before delivering a speech, or while getting a traffic ticket, to say, "This isn't bothering me. See? I am laughing."But if we sometimes laugh in sorrow, more often we laugh with joy. Laughter creates and strengthens our socialbonds. And the ability to share a laugh has guided many marriages through hard periods of adjustment.How could we manage a life with the absence of laugh? According to Dr. Levine, we can measure our adjustment to the world by our capacity to laugh. When we are secure about our abilities, we can laugh at the defects of our own character. If we can laugh through our anxieties, we will not be overpowered by them.The ability to laugh starts early, but it takes a lifetime to perfect. Says Dr. Grotjahn, "when social relationships are mastered, when the individual has mastered...a peaceful relationship with himself, then he has...the sense of humor." And then he can throw back his head and laugh.Both infants and adults laugh for the same reasons.1. Giving your first dinner party is a source of laughter.2. The cues that trigger laughter have been studied by scientists.3. Ordinary people laugh a lot when they are alone.4. If you escape from a dangerous situation you might cry.5. When someone makes a joke about us we are able to share to joke.6. Funerals are a good source of jokes.7. It takes a lifetime to perfect the ability to laugh.8. Laughter is a defense mechanism when reality is too hard or if we hear______.9. A child of one and an old man laugh to show their______ of anxiety.10. Laughter is a social glue that______ our relations.Part ⅢListening ComprehensionSection ADirections: At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

At each stage of their school lives children are faced with exams: exams to enter junior middle school, senior middle school, vocational school, colleges and universities. As a result of having constantly to think of these hurdles facing them children find themselves under constant pressure, unable to take time off from studying exam-oriented subjects to relax with friends or to develop other interests. Within school the concentration on exam success leads to the neglect of courses which are not central to the examinations and a method of teaching and learning which emphasizes training the ability to do well in tests but neglects developing the ability to think creatively.Despite such criticisms the examination system still has its defenders. Without it, they argue, how can we test students' abilities and evaluate the effectiveness of teachers and schools? They believe that they provide the only objective way of selecting students and reduce the exercise of unfair back-door practices to gain advantage for children on the basis of influence or corruption. Examinations are also felt to offer the impetus to students to master their subject in a way in which they otherwise might not. "While too much anxiety can be a bad thing, a little anxiety can stimulate students to learn better than if left without any test to pass," says Li Jie, a leading advocate of the value of testing. "I can remember things now which give me great pleasure which I doubt I would have learned at the time if I had not had to do so for the examinations."57. Which of the following statements about examinations in China is correct?[A] People can make money out of examinations. [B] Only students of today have to take examinations.[C] Students have to learn more about history than about any other subjects.[D] People have different opinions concerning the value of examinations.58. What is a possible result if students pay too much attention to examinations?[A] Students neglect those exam-oriented subjects.[B] Students are unable to relax with friends or to develop other interests.[C] Teachers neglect the training of the students' ability to do well in tests.[D] Students only pay attention to the development of their ability to think creatively.59. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the advantage of examinations?[A] Examinations are the only objective way of selecting students.[B] Examinations are the only objective way to eliminate the problem of corruption.[C] Examinations can tell us that too much anxiety can be a bad thing.[D] Examinations can better stimulate students to study.60. According to the passage, why are some people against exams?[A] They are meaningless. [B] They will make students learn something useless.[C] They are believed to cause stress for the students. [D] They are not related to the reality of life.61. Which of the following is an acceptable summary of the organization of this passage?[A] Discussing a problem in education. [B] Refuting a long held opinion.[C] Persuading people to believe an idea. [D] Presenting a controversial issue and arguments from both sides.Passage TwoAn opinion poll was conducted in the early 1990's to ascertain the cultural attitudes of residents of five countries in Western Europe (Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Germany). One thousand people, forming a representative sample of the adult population, from each of the five participating countries were interviewed. The results of the poll suggest that though there is general agreement that culture can be defined as a distinct part of life, there are clear differences in the views of various European nations.The poll assumed that literature, history, science, the arts, law, economics and so on would be regarded as significant components of culture by all participants but it set out to examine the areas which they deemed the most important forms of cultural expression. In addition, the poll required interviewees to indicate in a questionnaire the type of education they considered most appropriate for the modem world, the best channels of knowledge and the arts they most valued. The interviewees were also asked which European countries they found most attractive from a cultural point of view.The results of the poll show interesting differences between the participating nations in terms of which components of culture they regard as most important forms of cultural expression. For the French and Italians, literature comes well at the top of the list. In contrast, mathematics is given priority by the British and economics/politics by the Germans. History occupies second place for the French, the Italians and Germans but is given very low priority by the British. For the Spanish these four areas are more or less equal, with mathematics having a slight edge.It seems that members of each country in the survey have a common definition of culture but that definition varies from country to country. The variations tend to support the national stereotypes we have of one another. The French and Italians are literary peoples, the British scientific and the Germans practical and hard-working.France has the distinction, according to the results of the poll, of being the country which provokes most interest from its British, Italian and German neighbors. Spanish interviewees indicated more interest in Italy than in France. The French also placed Italy first. Italy occupies second place for both the British and the Germans. It would seem, then, that the "literary" nations of France and Italy are more culturally exciting than the scientific British or the practical Germans!The view of education in the five countries is particularly illuminating in view of the high cultural priority given to literature by both Italy and France because there is general agreement among the majority of the 5,000 interviewees that schooling should provide scientific and technical education rather than attempt to inculcate literary and artistic culture.The residents of the five countries of the survey share the view that books are the best way of broadening knowledge. The French, Germans, and Italians identify radio and television as the second best means of improving knowledge but for the British and Spanish travel is in second place and conversation and discussion in third place.The poll confirms that, though there are broad similarities among the nations surveyed, the British, French,Italians, Spanish and Germans do not share identical cultural preferences and classifications. There are, it would seem, specific national characteristics.62. What is the passage mainly about?[A] It is about people's preference in spare time. [B] It is about a poll interviewing people's cultural attitudes.[C] It is about a poll investigating people's view toward their neighboring countries.[D] It is about editorial criticizing cultures in different countries.63. Which of the following is NOT included in the questions directed to the interviewees?[A] Do you think literature, history, science, the arts, law, economics and so on should be regarded as significant components of culture?[B] What kind of education is most appropriate for the modem world?[C] What are the best channels of knowledge and the arts you most value?[D] Which European countries are most attractive from a cultural point of view?64. Which of the following statements about "the most important forms of cultural expression" is NOT correct?[A] The French and Italians consider literature more important than other forms of cultural expression.[B] Mathematics is considered most important by the British and the Germans.[C] In the eyes of the French, the Italians and Germans, history is more important than that in the eyes of the British.[D] For the Spanish, mathematics is somewhat more important than literature, history and economics/ politics.65. Which country are British, Italian, Spanish and German interviewees most interested in?[A] France. [B] Italy. [C] They do not share interests. [D] Neither of the two mentioned above.66. Which of the following is regarded as the best way of broadening knowledge by most people in this interview?[A] Conversation. [B] Books. [C] Travel. [D] Radio and television.Part ⅤClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D] on the right side of the paper.

The name appears to originate in the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Different from the pen we use for writing, the “penpoint”of the Chinese writing brush is soft and big. They are generally made from animal hair, say, the rabbit, the sheep, the wolf, etc. Penholders are commonly constructed from bamboo, but special brushes may have handles of jade, carved ivory, or other precious materials. The most famous paper used for Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting is rice paper, also named as Xuan paper. The paper is thin and light, and has a remarkable longevity. The quality of the Four Treasures of the Study plays a decisive role in one’s painting and calligraphy. Therefore, scholars engaging intraditional Chinese painting and calligraphy attached much importance to the choice of the tools.【听力原文】Section AN e w s R e p o r t O n eAn oral treatment for peanut allergy is still effective four years after it was administered, a study has found.Children were given a probiotic, with a peanut protein, daily for 18 months. When tested one month later, 80% could tolerate peanuts without any allergic symptoms and after four years, 70% of them were still able to eat peanuts without suffering any side-effects.Food allergies have risen dramatically in recent decades, with peanut allergy one of the most deadly. Lead researcher Prof Mimi Tang, of Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, said half the children were consuming peanuts regularly while others were only eating them infrequently. “The importance of this finding is that these children were able to eat peanuts like children who don’t have peanut allergy and still maintain their tolerant state, protected against reactions to peanuts,” she said. Prof Tang said it was the first time a treatment for peanut allergy had been shown to be effective for this long.heard.Q1. How long has the peanut allergy treatment been effective?Q2. Why is this finding so important according to Prof Mimi Tang?N e w s R e p o r t T w oAmazon has launched a service in the U.S. offering daily “essentials” for collection within two minutes of ordering.The items available in Instant Pickup include snacks, cold drinks, smartphone chargers and Amazon devices.The move poses a threat to bricks-and-mortar convenience stores, but one expert questioned its appeal. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has criticized Amazon on Twitter for harming other retailers. The new service will enable Prime and Prime Student members to use the Amazon app to order items they need urgently from a curated collection of popular products.Amazon employees at the pickup points then process the order, and it will be available to collect from a self-service locker within two minutes. For now, the service will be available at only one location in each of: Los Angeles, Berkeley, Atlanta, Ohio, College Park, and Maryland. The online retail giant already operates 22 manned pickup locations on or near university campuses in the country.heard.Q3. What is the new service Amazon has launched in the U.S.?Q4. What do we learn about the new service in the U.S.?N e w s R e p o r t T h r e eFor many of us, the distinctive chimes of an ice cream van conjure up happy childhood memories of British summers and dripping ice lollies. But the number of ice cream vans has been falling for years, leading some to believe that those bells may mean nothing to future generations of children.A crop of small, family-run businesses is determined to keep the industry alive however. These ice cream entrepreneurs have found business models that enable them to thrive in a market dominated by large retailers. And some have even dipped their toes in the export market.One such success story is Londoner John Bonar, 53, who started selli ng ice cream when he was just 11. “We would get on a lorry in the East End, fill barrows full of ice cream, get dropped off around Hyde Park or Madame Tussauds and just sell ice cream,” he tells me.He launched his own business at the age of 21, selling ice cream from a van with a hole in the floor and windscreen wipers that didn’t work. Today his firm Piccadilly Whip operates 20 ice cream vans inLondon and Essex, and has fixed stands at Tower Bridge.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5. What do we learn about the ice cream vans in Britain?Q6. Who plays an important role in keeping this ice cream industry alive?Q7. How old was John Bonar when he launched his own business?Section BC o n v e r s a t i o n O n eM: Hello, Professor Johnson.W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in.W: What sport did you choose?M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.W: What are you going to say about skiing?M: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.W: So why is that a problem?M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. Ikeep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going.Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guessI should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain thatfeeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.W: Then you’ll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand but part you discovered as you wrote. That’s common, right?M: Yeah, I guess so.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?9. What problem does the man have while working on his paper?10. Why is it necessary to mention the effort part of skiing on the man’s paper?11.

Tonight we have Mr.Angeleno who came to the US six years ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town. Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started?M: Well I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two people. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly.W: Do you advertise?M: Oh yes. I don’t have any TV commercials, because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads in nearby shopping centers, but we don’t need to do that any more.W: Why do you believe you’ve been so successful?M: Em, I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back.W: So you always aim to please the customers?M: Absolutely! Without them I would have no business at all.W: Thank you Mr. Angeleno. I think your advice will be helpful to those just staring out in business.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12. What is the woman’s occupation?Q13. What do we learn about Mr. Angeleno’s business at its beginning?Q14. What does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business?Q15. What does the man say contribute to his success? Section CP a s s a g e O n eThere are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, someday a full transplant may be possible.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?Q17. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?Q18. What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?P a s s a g e T w oWhen people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q19. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?Q20. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?Q21. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do? P a s s a g e T h r e eSince a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections’ my co-workers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it's exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I've heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were workingwith paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q22. What does the talk focus on?Q23. What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?Q24. What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?Q25. Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?。

Village Academies, is frustrated with the nation"s current educationsystem.Unlikemost, though, she decided to do something aboutit.Partdeclaration part record, her book Born to Rise writes down her journey toward creating and running her own system of progressive charter schools in Harlem in New York City.What is your educational philosophy?B) We want our students to receive the same high-quality education as students who are privileged toattend the best private schools in the country.Personally,I believe a progressive education is superior as long as it"s delivered by really smart, talented teachers who know how to execute well.It"sa sophisticated approach that really only works wellin the hands of areally sophisticated educator.We"redealing with a little bit of a challenge because students enter this school from the regular public system.Andwhen they enter in fifth grade, they"re not yet well-trained in the basics reading, writing, and math--which means that we have to catch them up on basic math skills, on the "basics of writing.Andmany of them e in at a kindergarten, first, second-grade level in reading.Sowe have to accelerate their mastery of the basics,but we reject the idea that if you do that you can"tteach that at a high level.Wepush ourselves constantly to think about how we can make sure that our students will catch up while we teach at the highest possible level.Itmeans asking difficult, delicate questions, not accepting an answer that is not backed up by evidence, the kinds of things that you would expect to see in the best private schools.Weaim for a high level in rich discussions where the students are asked to analyze a challenging text and where the teacher does not accept just any answer simply because the student is behaving.Whatmakes the Harlem Village Academies different?C) First of all, I have to say what we have in mon with other charter schools because we have learned so much from them: creating an expectation that all students will attend college, naming classrooms after colleges, the longer school day, the longer school year.I feel it"s important to give credit where credit is due because I learned from them.Inthose early years when I opened the school, most of these other schools bad been around for seven years, ten years, some of them even longer.D ) As far as what makes us different, I"ll tell you what the teachers say: teachers tell us that the level of professionalism and passion for teaching at a high level and teaching above the test, not to the test, and working in an environment, where everybody is trusted to do their job and continually learning--there"s this incredible culture of learning.There"sthis incredible workplace culture where the adults are continually being better and learning more about how to bee a better lead her.Theteachers get to make all of the decisions "abouttheir own professional development rather than being enforced to at tend the training.Theyare treated like professional-grade" doctors and lawyers at the.Highestlevel.Theyactually make the decisions not only about what books to use and what teaehing methed, but even about whattheir own professional development Ioukslike.There"s a very clear set of standards far what the students need to know and be "able to do at the end of each year andquarter, and we hold people accountable for that end goal.Butwe give them plete freedom to decide how they"re going to achieve it, which is how all professionals are treated.Unfortunately,it"s not how most teachers are treated inthis country.Mostteachers are treated like factory workers, where there"s a hig set ofrules on how they have to do everything.What does the curriculum look like at Harlem Village Academy schools?E) It looks like a classic liberal-arts curriculum, where math, reading, and writing are not the only subjects taught.Evenif the state focuses its testing on those things, we do not let the state dictate our curriculum.Weare interested in a rich curriculum that includes art and music and seience and social studies and a wide variety of electives, and character education is integrated throughout.How do you address the criticisms people haveregarding charter schools?F) I"d say that the .main criticisms are stemmingfrom the fact that in a charter system the teachers arenot unionized, and they"re treated as professionalsinstead of as manual laborers.Thecharter movement is challenging the current situation, it"s eoming along and saying we used to pletely changethe underlying premiere ( 前提) of how we go about public education.Parentsshould be able to choose the scherzi.Weshould give power to all parents, regardless of socioeonomie level, to choose where they send their child, and that creates market petition: if you have an amazing school with caring teachers and great results, parentsare going to ~ant to choose that school.Thecharter movement is putting the needs of childrenfirst anti is holding teachers accountable.Itehalleuges the notion of tenure (终身教职), where there"s no accountability at all.What"s next for you and the Harlem Village Academies?G) We are going to triple (增至三倍) in size in the next twn years.Wewill have a full K -12 system.We"restarting two new elementary schools, we will be serving2,000 children, but we are not eager to grow super-big.Wewant to use the platform of what we" re learned and the results that we"ve produced--that ant teachers have produced--to have an ational influence on policy and on teaching methods.Thelaws that govern how school srun constrain theability of the printcipal to run the school well.They"re not allowed to build a team.Andbuilding a team where teachers are trusted, happy and cooperative is really the foundation for an excellent school.Sowe want to find a way to get our message out nationally and continue to be part of the movement.36.Inthe Harlem Village Academies.teacherscan decide themselves how they are going to achieve the teaching objectives.37.Thecharter movement challenges the tenure system in making children"s needs apriority and holding, teachers responsible.38 The Harlem Village Academies will be able toenroll2,000 ehildren in the next twoyears39.DeborahKenny admits that she learns a lot from other charter schools.40.Thecurriculum at Harlem Village Academies not only includes the subjects frequentlytested.41.The Harlem Village Academies are eager to exert a national influence on policy and teaching methods.42.Studentsentering the Harlem Village Academies are from the regular public system.43.DeborahKenny decides to create and run the Harlem Village Academies because sheis disappointed about the current education system.44.Charterschools are mainly criticized for treating the teachers as professionals.45.Oneof the challenges facing the Harlern Village Academies is how to accelerate students" mastery of the basics.Section CDirections: There are2 passages in this section.Eachpassage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements.Foreach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD .Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Sign has bee a scientific hot button.Only in the past20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of thehand.They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language，and throw new light on an old scientific controversy：whether language，plete with grammar，is something that we are born With，or whether it is a learned behavior.Thecurrent interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington，D.C.，theworld‘s only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English，the school enrolled him in a course in signing.But Stokoe noticed something odd：among themselves，students signed differently fromhis classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code，each movement of the hands representing a word in English.At the time，American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语)。

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 understandthe trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessivebureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachersand students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not plete 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 $1.8billion in American high schools, helping to open about1,000 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 mag schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Mag,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 suess 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 xx. Although many ofHillsdale’s st udents 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 xx 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’ suess.“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 ing 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 madethis year, as in years past, aording to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has e in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its streng th: it’s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmeticfor 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,inc luding students’ overall academic aomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their munities.” 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：此局部试题请在答卡1上作答.1. Fifty years ago. big. Modern.
