Most of the exams generally test eighth-or ninth-grade level work.Today, even high school graduates who are going to have blue-collar (蓝领) jobs need to study the math, research and writing courses. But in high school, only students who are going to college are now required to take these courses.“If you want a good job with a good pay, it’s a high-skill job,” said Michael Cohen, a leading member of the America Diploma Project.The project suggests that all graduates master a wide range (范围) of skills. “A high school diploma should mean something to a company and university,” said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, who is Achieve’s co-chairman.In Taft’s state, about 30% students who go direct ly to college from high school have to take________of English or math, he said. It’s easy to see that the present high-school graduating standards are not preparing students for college education.And with high-skilled jobs increasingly headed overseas to places like India and Ireland, states need to act, he said.To prove why math and reading skills matter, the report includes real-life examples of problems students meet in college and that workers must solve each day on the job.Some states are taking actions to upgrade the high school diploma. In Texas, all high school students, starting with the 2008 graduating class, will have to take the college-prep curriculum (大学预备课程) - unless a parent agrees to an easier course load. Other states are planning similar moves.The report includes examples of reading and math skills that high-school students should have. Project leaders say they hope parents will use those examples to judge (评定) the coursework at their kids’ high schools.1．Why is the high school diploma losing its value quickly?A．Because the number of high school students is growing fast.B．Because high school students fail to reach the standards.C．Because the graduation tests are easier than it should be.D．Because difficult courses are not required in high schools.2．Remedial classesin Paragraph 6 mean classes____.A．for good learners to study quickly and betterB．for slower learners weak in the subjectC．for learners to be taught one by oneD．for learners to reach a higher standard3．What can we learn from the passage?A．Colleges require higher math and reading skills than companies.B．It is easier for companies to find high-skilled workers in India.C．Math and reading skills help little for workers to solve daily problems.D．Parents ask high schools to offer college-prep curriculum in Texas.4．What can be the best title for the passage?A．High School Diploma Means LittleB．Give Students More High-skill JobsC．Math and Reading Skills Really MatterD．Judge Coursework at High SchoolsD16、All day long Lily has been looking forward to watching her favorite television show.Lily made a cheese sandwich ,poured herself a glass of orange juice and carried them to her room.

The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. The fish might not be so big after all! It’s just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What’s more, in deeper water, colors just don’t seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长) of light that are reflected from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost(鬼怪)!

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a weekaway, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the street.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the street next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes."Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.1．How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A．Cold and sick.
