A professor once gave a group of graduate students this assignment: Go to the poverty-stricken area full of violence, take 200 boys between the ages of 12 and 16, investigate their 16 and environment and then 17 their chances for the future.His students, after 18 social statistics, talking to the boys and collecting much data, _19__ that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in 20 .
Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students were given the job of 21 the previous prediction.They went back to the 22 area.Some of the boys-now 23_ were still there, a few had died and some have moved away.But they managed to 24_ 180 of the original 200.They found that only four of the boys had ever been sent to prison.
Why was it that these, men who had lived in a breeding place of 25 , had such a surprisingly 26 record? The researchers were 27 told.“Well, there was a _28 .”
They investigated 29 and found that in 75 percent of the 30 it was the same woman.The researchers went to the teacher, now living in a home for 31 teachers.How had she had this strong 32 on that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys 33 her? “No,” she said, “I really couldn’t.” And then, 34 over the years, she said calmly, more to herself than to her questioners, “I 35 those boys.” The researchers finally realized that it was the teacher’s care that made a difference.

A
You may know the English letters A,B and C,but do you know there are people called ABCs?You may like eating bananas,but do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”?How strange!Are these people from another earth?No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means Americaborn Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the US.Sometimes,people call an ABC “a banana person”.A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside—thinking like a westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why?Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them can not speak Chinese.Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs can’t speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people?Yes,of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas Chinese.These people may be citizens of another country like the US,Canada or Singapore,but they have Chinese blood.Their parents,grandparents or even greatgrandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People’s Republic of China.For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

Getting a good education is more important today than ever before.It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.
Most children in Canada attend public schools.Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income.Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes.Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French.
The rest of Canadian children attend private schools,which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents.Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.
By law,children must attend school from age 5 to 16.Children are usually in school between 8∶30 or 9∶00 a.m.,and 3∶30 or 4∶00 p.m.,Monday through Friday,from September to the middle of June.There are several different levels in the Canadian education system.The first is called Elementary Schools.In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.
From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13,children go to Secondary School or High School.High School students must take certain courses for several years,such as English or French and Mathematics.Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school.Other courses prepare students for college or university.In Canada,teenagers usually make these choices for themselves,with the advice of their teachers,guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.
Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day.These include sports ,games,music and clubs.
Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities.Parents’ nights are organized from time to time.These are chances for parents to discuss their children’s progress with teachers.You may wish to bring a friend with you.After graduating from high school,many young adults continue their studies through postsecondary education.
39.According to the passage,students in Canada can get education for free in________.

Surprisingly,no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals,still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year,and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a parttime teacher.The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best;general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey,one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work;without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied,and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”.Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching,and are told to catch up as best as they can.
Many shortstay childpatients catch up quickly.But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
43.The author points out at the beginning that________.
A.every child in hospital receives some teaching
B.not enough is known about hospital teaching
C.hospital teaching is of poor quality
D.the special children’s hospitals are worst off
44.It can be inferred from the latest survey that________.
A.hospital teaching across the country is similar
B.each hospital has at least one parttime teacher
C.all hospitals surveyed offer education to children
D.only onefourth of the hospitals have fulltime teachers
45.Children in hospital usually turn to________in order to catch up with their school work.
A.hospital teachers B.schoolmates C.parents D.school teachers
46.We can conclude from the passage that the author is________.
A.unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals
B.in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals
C.unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching
D.satisfied with the results of the latest survey

Beijing (Xinhua)—Blind Chinese pianist Sun Yan,23,will give a concert at the People’s Liberation Army Theatre in downtown Beijing.
Sun,a student at the wellknown China Central Conservatory of Music,was born with cataracts (白内障),which caused him to become blind.He started learning to play the piano when he was three years old and immediately gained acclaim (喝彩) as a piano virtuoso at the age of six.
Guo Shulan,head of the CCCM,said Sun was the first blind student the school had ever received in its halfcentury history.The wellknown piano teacher,Yang Jun,taught Sun personally and found him to be greatly talented and strongly determined.
At his concert,Sun will play a dozen masterpieces by composers,such as Bach,Beethoven and Chopin.
“Common piano players may have a look at these long and difficult musical pieces while playing,but Sun would have to spend a much,much longer time to fully memorize a piece of music,” Yang said.“He plays the piano for at least six hours every day.”
With painstaking effort for the past few years,Sun achieved very good grades at school and also gained an audience worldwide.He was invited to visit dozens of countries and regions and even performed at top theatres such as Caregie Hall in the United States.
Top fashion brand Mark Fairwhale and piano manufacturer Bosendorfrr will offer Sun a financial support fund and the use of piano,respectively.The PLA Theatre will also provide him technical support and a stage setting design free of charge.Three schoolmates of Sun’s who were also pianists,for winning top prizes in international competitions,will be guest performers at the concert.
Expecting to graduate with a bachelor degree next year,Sun has applied to study for a master’s degree.
“Music changes people’s lives.I hope I can continue to study the piano for the rest of my life.” Sun said.
47.Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A.Sun Yank’s achievements in music

born talent?

If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses,would this make you feel good?The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another—and some of us do it pretty often.It’s a sure-fire recipe for a drop in selfconfidence and for unhappiness.So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others?Here are some tips I’ve found useful.
Awareness.Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we’re doing it.It’s a natural act,I suppose.So the solution is to become aware.If you focus on these thoughts for a few days,it will become much easier with practice,and soon it’ll be hard not to notice.
Stop yourself.Once you realize you’re making these comparisons,stop yourself.Don’t feel bad—just admit the thought,and gently change the focus.
Count your blessings.Focus on what you do have,and on what you are already blessed with.Count what you have,not what you don’ t have.Think about how lucky you are to have what you have,to have the people in your life who care about you.If you always want what others have,you will never have enough.You will always want more.That’ s an endless cycle,and it will never lead to happiness.Instead,learn to realize that what you have is already enough.
Focus on your strengths.Instead of looking at your weaknesses,ask yourself what your strengths are.Be proud of them.Work on using them to your best advantage.
________No one is perfect—we all know that.But we seem to feel bad when we don’t reach perfection.You aren’t perfect and you never will be.Keep trying to improve,but don’t think you’ll ever be the “perfect person”.If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are,you are already perfect.
51.The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to________.
A.explain why some people often think poorly df themselves
B.prove that often comparing ourselves with others is harmful
C.give us tips on how to stop comparing ourselves with others
D.tell us why some people like comparing themselves with others
52.The first thing the writer suggests we do is to________.
A.realize nobody can avoid social comparisons
B.find out why we like comparing ourselves with others
C.know that social comparisons are very difficult to make
D.become aware that we are making social comparisons
53.What does the writer advise us to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Admit the fact that others are better than us.
B.Be satisfied with what we already have.
C.Make friends with people who care about us.
D.Realize we will get what we don’ t have yet.
54.What’s the best title for the last paragraph?
A.Learn to become perfect. B.Don’t feel bad about yourself.
C.Be OK with not being perfect. D.Try to improve yourself all the time.

Some people believe that greed and selfishness have become the basis of modern society,and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fastpaced world,many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize caring,sharing and generosity in life and work,modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.They say that it is a jungle out there.To survive,you have to fight with whatever means that come in handy.Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice,it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion,modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.However,we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
Main comparisons
Contexts
56________are changing
In the past people put caring,sharing and generosity in the first
Nowadays,people seem to be more 57________
58_______about themselves.
59_______are changing too.
People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦逊的).
People may strive to achieve their own 60_______at the price of their coworkers.
The author’s understanding
61________for the changes in author’s eyes
Fierce 62_______and great 63________on modern people may be responsible for the changes.
The author’s 64_______ towards topic
A relationship which can 65_______ two sides should be established.

36.C 37.B 38.B
39.C 第二段讲述了public schools,是由政府投资建立的;第三段讲述了private schools,学校资金由学生家长直接提供。public schools与private schools对应,所以判断public schools是免费的。
40.B 第二段讲到在国立学校男女生在同一个班上课;第三段讲到有些私立学校只招收男生或女生,但有些是既有男生又有女生。所以B项“有些国立学校只有男生”是错误的。
41.A 根据第四段第二句话可知,从9月至6月中旬学生在校,所以6月中旬至8月应该是假期。
42.C 通篇来看,文章介绍了加拿大的教育情况。
43.B 第一段中,作者告诉我们“没有人知道有多少孩子在医院里能接受到教育,更少有人知道教育的内容和教学质量”,这与B项not enough is known about hospital teaching的意思一致。
44.D 根据第二段第二、三句“It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a parttime teacher.”可知,一半的医院没有老师,四分之一的医院有兼职老师,那么剩余的四分之一的医院就有全职老师了。
45.B 由“Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work”可知,他们求助的是同学。
46.C 作者一开头就用surprisingly一词,清楚表达了对医院教育现状的态度。然后通过具体的调查结果,表明了对医院里儿童教学现状的不满。
47.B 主旨大意题。从文中第一段中Blind Chinese pianist Sun Yan,23,will give a concert at the People’s Liberation Army Theatre in downtown Beijing.可知。
48.D
49.B 细节理解题。从文中第三段中Guo Shulan,head of the CCCM,said Sun was the first blind student the school had ever received in its halfcentury history.可知。
50.C
【语篇解读】 我们总喜欢跟别人进行对比,结果往往因此感到自卑,该怎样结束这样的对比呢?
51.C 作者意图题。根据第一段的So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others?Here are some tips I’ve found useful.以及通读全文,可知作者主要在告诉我们怎样结束和别人进行对比,故选C。
52.D 细节理解题。根据第二段的Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we’re doing it.It’s a natural act,I suppose.So the solution is to become aware.可知首先是要意识到我们在做这种对比。
53.B 细节理解题。通读第四段,尤其根据末尾的Instead,learn to realize
that what you have is already enough.可知作者告诉我们要知足。
54.C 主旨大意题。末段主要是讲“人无完人”,所以我们也要接受我们的不完美性,故选C。
55.D 细节理解题。根据第五段的Instead of looking at your weaknesses,ask yourself what your strengths are.Be proud of them.可知作者建议我们要为我们的优点感到自豪。

My dream
My dream is to become a school teacher in the future.
In fact,I have the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood.In my opinion,without teachers,no society could make progress.There is no doubt that teachers play an important role in children’s growth.Not only do teachers pass on knowledge to children,but they also teach children how to behave themselves.Compared with other jobs,teaching is harder and the pay is lower.But to me,what great fun it is to be with children!They make me feel young forever.
I’ll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.
