第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I walk into my classes at Shores, I sit at my desk and load up Microsoft Word 2000,

and I ask myself: “Why am I using 14-year-old software?” Questions about my education seem to

come up every day. I am at Shores. Why are some of my teachers not paid enough while others

make too much for the quality of work they do? Why is some technology up-to-date while the rest

is a decade behind?

Intelligence seems to be looked down upon in today’s society. The United States stands at the

bottom of the educational ladder, and there needs to be a change. This change should eventually

lead to a society that values a good education. This can only be achieved through educational

reform and funding.

I see it firsthand every day: the underfunded classrooms and underpaid teachers of this school

deserve more than our government provides, and it is not happening. Based on the current salary

for teachers, I would not want to be one when I can make so much more in a private sector

occupation even though I would enjoy teaching.

Technology needs to be a No.1 priority for schools, and money must be allocated to provide

for every school’s need. This will be a difficult process, and funds will need to be taken from

elsewhere in the government to achieve this such as military spending, tax cuts for the wealthy, 高二上学期期末考试英语试题

Education, in general, needs to be a top priority if we are to advance as a civilization. If

education continues to lag behind, children will not be ready for the world soon to come and the

innovation soon to be created. We need education, more than anything else, to compete in a new

world of invention and intelligence.
