It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can fail to become successful when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males aged between 18 and 20. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but for more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It is up to you.”31.What’s the purpose of raising the school leaving ag e?A.To provide steps up the ladder of success.B.To provide children with the same chances in society.C.To give children the right to a better school.D.To give children a more thorough state system.32.In people’s eyes, the education system__________________.A. provides enough chances to success for children.B. misses no children who are really clever.C. only provides chances for children from rich families.D. does not give equal chances to all bright children.33.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because______________ .A. many of the clever ones leave school early.B. fewer go to university than ever before.C. more than half leaves school when they are 16.D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16.34.Many children leave school early because__________________.A.their social circumstances make them unhappyB. they have to work to help support their familyC. their school is a dull and unhappy placeD. their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions35. This article shows that equal opportunity in education__________________.A. is a thing of the pastB. has not yet been achievedC. is there for those who merit itD. has greatly improved our societyPassage 2There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.36. Our long-term goals mean a lot__________________.A. if we complete our short-range goalsB. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC. if we write down the datesD. if we put forward some plans37.

Her most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”, described Elizabeth Bennett and her search for romance through a world of balls, dinners and endless social rules. Here the following helps you enter into Austen’s high society.1. Coming outGirls were treated as children until 18, when they “came out”. Parents took their daughters from their country homes to London. There, these young ladies from noble families were presented to the queen during the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace. This was their official entrance into society. Afterwards, they attended balls, dinners and parties in London. The girls met the important people in London society and, especially, searched for a suitable husband.2. DancesFamilies of unmarried young women often hosted dances at their homes and invited others of the same social class—particularly single young men. At the dance, each eligible girl had a dance card. If a young man wanted to dance with a girl, he approached her and asked to sign her card. A proper girl did not dance with one man for more than three songs in a row.3. Paying callsDuring Au sten’s time, there were strict rules about how, when, and why to visit friends and neighbors. To express condolences over the death of a friend’s family member or offer congratulations for an award, a visitor was required to wait a week after the event before visiting. Meanwhile, a party guest must visit and thank the hostess within the week after attending a party. Guests would be considered rude if they waited for more than two weeks to visit. Visits were supposed to last only 20 minutes to half an hour.36. Which of the following indicates girls’ official entrance into society?________A) They were 18.B) Their parents took them from their country homes to London.C) They found a suitable husband.D) In the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace, they were presented to the queen.37. What does the author probably mean by “eligible” in the third paragraph?________A) Suited. B) Qualified. C) Suitable. D) Appropriate.38. As a rule, when should a party guest visit and thank the hostess after attending aparty?________A) Within the week after the event. B) More than two weeks.C) Within two weeks. D) Any time that he or she likes.39. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A) the British people were friendlyB) the British social rules in high society were strictC) the British parents were strict with their daughtersD) the British girls were very practical40. What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________A) Austen’s Time.B) The British People.C) Good Manners in High Society. D) Strict Social Rules.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, which means “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.”This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candies, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Although it has begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.41. In history, Halloween was once a ______ day.A) children’s B) national C) religious D) international42. Which of the following is mentioned about how children celebrated the holiday some yearsago?________A) Making up in peculiar and horrifying costumes.B) Playing jokes on neighbors or friends.C) Ringing door bells.D) All of the above.43. What kind of treats will children not receive on October 31?________A) Candies. B) Fruits. C) Cookies. D) Chocolates.44. Why do children collect money to celebrate the holiday?________A) They need pocket money.B) They can use the money to buy whatever they like.C) They can help those children who need money in the whole world.D) What they did in the past have bored them.45. From the passage, we know that ________.A) to some degree, Halloween has not been the American own holiday and its influence will be greaterand greaterB) Halloween will become the most important holiday for the American peopleC) more and more parents will take part in the celebration of this holidayD) it will be celebrated by all the people around the worldQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A., guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, which would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. The author’s main purpose of the passage is to ______.A) emphasize the importance of time in American social customsB) tell us time and tide waits for no manC) teach us how to get on well with the American peopleD) introduce the personal relationship among the American people47. Generally speaking, when is it proper for you to call someone?________A) Very early in the morning. B) After 11 p.m.C) Sleeping hours. D) Neither very early in the morning nor after 11 p.m. 48. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ________.A) it is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in AmericaB) it may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some culturesC) time means the same for all the people around the worldD) people can communicate each other very well if they live in the same culture49. If you live in America, you should pay attention to ______.A) the time of your making a phone callB) the time of your sending your invitation cardsC) the time of your meeting with someoneD) all of the above50. The word “attached” in the third sentence of the first paragraph means ________.A) clung B) stuck C) given D) provided四、Translation（4 point for each ，20 points in total)1、I’m afraid it won’t be possible, but thank you very much anyway.2、Please come whenever it is your convenience.3、I’m terribly sorry, but I have made other plans.
