Apparently many college students would ha
28、ve no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class. The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve
29、a B in that course. And: A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class. Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a students work when deciding grades. A
30、nd 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class. Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in childrens activities these days everyone gets a
31、n award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job. And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the fa
32、milys investment. These days, college can cost more than a house. A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class: What if
33、a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.【小题1】What does the passage mainly discuss? AWhether stu

38、ities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students
39、 for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So shes carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrows Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education
40、 system with the current needs of our employers”. The state governor added that this new educational approach doesnt just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “Weve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what were doing with our universities, becau
41、se our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the worlds biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.” Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation f
42、or everything else that happens at a university. And if we dont do it, nobody else will.” “And if nobody does that research, well pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of
43、 universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for
44、a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose. Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it
45、actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”【小题1】Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company? AUniversity graduates in the state are well trained.BTheres much support from the local government.CMany students in the state hope to be workers.DThe state economy has been
46、 growing rapidly.【小题2】What is Gutmanns attitude toward Fallins program? ACurious.BTolerant.CDisapproving.DSympathetic.【小题3】Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _. Athe achievements of Merck & Co., IncBthe difficulty of developing new drugsCthe heavy burden of health care costsDt
47、he importance of basic research【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text? AUniversities or colleges?BWorkers or researchers?CBasic or further research?DEducation or development?7、Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most importan
48、t things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the
49、 perfect backpack for school. How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load. Do chil
50、dren need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack，make sure that parents get a model thats designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.Are chil
51、dren going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market. Count the pockets. Backpacks usually
52、 come with a lot of pockets，and generally，the more pockets，the better. This allows children to organize their things，like pens and pencils inside small pockets. Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise (折中）between form，function and price. Remember to choose the b
53、est fit for childrens needs.【小题1】Why do most students like bringing a backpack? ABecause it looks beautiful.BBecause its a duty for them to bring it.CBecause they can put all the books into it.DBecause it helps them do other activities freely.【小题2】What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? AP
54、arents should find out how many books their children have.BParents must ask teachers for help before buying a backpack.CParents should know the weight of things that will go inside the backpack.DParents must ask their childrens requirements when buying a backpack.【小题3】The underlined word “bumps” in

APicking a backpack is very easy to do.BIts better for children to have a backpack that has more pockets.CThe backpacks that have a good brand are more popular with childr
56、en.DParents always feel worried when buying a backpack for their children.8、Take That Tiger MomIn the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm
57、 than good.Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust. It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents
58、and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their childrens needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of car
59、ing, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules. Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high sch
60、ool students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand
61、, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didnt seem to make much of a difference either. To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents power is. This sense comes whe
62、n kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they dont always like how their parents are treating them.When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their
63、 behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence. “When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” sa
64、id lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesnt have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”【小题1】Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the pas
65、sage to _. Agive an example of authoritarian parentingBshow the advantage of parentingCcompare two types of parentingDintroduce the topic【小题2】According to the research, what kind of parenting style is likely to cause childrens criminal behaviors? ACaring parenting.BPermissive parenting.CAuthoritaria

AAllowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like.BBeating the kids if the kids dont follow their instructions.CListening to the kids request and giving their dema

Atheir parents listen to them totallyBthey believe in and accept their parentsCtheir parents are sensitive to their needsDtheir parents demand and control their b
68、ehaviors9、Failing in something isnt a really nice feeling, but Scotlands Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isnt something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly! The boarding school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them.
69、 Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people from all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of persona
70、l and social education in the school. “This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the
71、 week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes Colleges website. To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something theyve ne
72、ver done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure
73、and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do. “If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stopping themse
74、lves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,” said Bruce.【小题1】What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”? ATo get the students involved in social activities.BTo help the students accept and learn from failure.CTo make the students study even harder.DTo teach the
75、 students how to get relaxed.【小题2】During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT _. Ataking risksBlearning from othersexperiencesCtrying something newDtrying to entertain themselves【小题3】What can we learn from the passage? AMany successful people are lucky and achieve suc
76、cess easily.BBecause we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.CThe fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.DThe students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.10、If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answe
77、r to your problem. Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time youre in the car? No. You wouldnt. When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car
78、 seat cant do this. They are stuck in one position, and they cant move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.In a traditional car seat, the child cant move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger. The FreedomRid
79、e lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat. I am the Webmaster for , and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girl
80、s, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. Its a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the
81、 car without the car seats. The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am
82、a very safety-oriented person.【小题1】From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _. Acar seatBcar for childrenCsafety beltDgame on 【小题2】The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for_. Aa person hating sitting in the car for long Ban adult often driving a traditional carCa child requiring some freed
83、om in the carDa driver needing comfortable seats【小题3】The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to _. Asupport the topic of the child car safetyBdescribe the advantage of the FreedomRideCintroduce the detail of the authors work and web.Ddescribe what the author does with his child car seat【小题4】Th

Athe way of orderingBthe way of communicatingCthe inventor of this productDthe advantage of the product11、Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”.
85、 We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “
86、My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach
87、out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East. I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after
88、I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and
89、 have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence. To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same a
90、rticle or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.【小题1】The underlined word
91、“frustration” in the first paragraph means. Afailure and setbacksBwords and problemsCunderstanding and progressDslang and idioms【小题2】In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is. Aonly intended to help the Chinese-AmericansBan organization which is set up to make a profitCof great use to people like the
92、 authorDa school showing how to enjoy literature【小题3】From the last paragraph we can learn that. AAmericans and Chinese are of the same idea about somethingBculture shock only exists between Chinese and AmericansCaccusing others freely can be acceptable in AmericaDculture differences have great influ
93、ence on the people【小题4】The purpose of the passage is. Ato show how hard a Chinese-American lives in AmericaBto share her experience of improving her EnglishCto imply grammar rules are not importantDto warn Chinese-Americans of English12、There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no lon
94、ger interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over in general language development and writing ability. The problem
95、 is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling? If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe. He will tend to write only words withi
96、n his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: This work i
97、s terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible. It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the chil
98、ds deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.【小题1】Teachers differ in their opinions about _
99、. Athe difficulties in teaching spellingBthe necessity of teaching spellingCthe complexities of the basic writing skillsDthe role of spelling in general language development【小题2】The expression play safe probably means “_”. Ato write carefullyBto avoid using words one is not sure ofCto do as teachers

Athe relationship between spelling and content of a compositionBthe importance of developing writhing skillsCthe correct way of marking compositionsDthe complexities of spelling13、My students often tell me they dont have “enough time” to do all t
102、heir schoolwork. My reply is often brief You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done. Once in graduate school, I tried to justify my
103、self to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant. Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions all relevant to the issue of how much time we ha
104、ve. If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, its not diligence but the
105、 quality of the product that is important. That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office Dont work harder but work smarter! Theres a lot of sense in that idea. If you cant get more time, and few of us can, t
106、he only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as
107、“learning habits”. Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.【小题1】From the passage, we know that the author

110、rent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body. At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventure. As a result, hell spe
111、nd most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environments. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him. When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back, he often reacts with a
112、nger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气). He may even strike back by hitting, biting and kicking. At this age, he doesnt have much control over his emotional impulse (冲动). So his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying, hitting or screaming. Its his only
113、way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. Its all part of being 2. Its not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when youre not around, because they dont trust people enough to test their limits. But with you, your todd
114、ler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows youll rescue him if he gets into trouble. Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when youre about to leave him with a sitter,
115、he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation (预想) of the separation. Or he may cry and cling to you. Or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic(策略) is to reassure him before you leave that you wil

The words used by young people in the UK can be very different
120、 to those used by adults. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang”. Here are a few examples: Instead of using different tag question like isnt it? Cant you or dont they? People use “innit”.e.g. Its hot here, isnt it?=Its hot here, innit! Instead of saying very, really or c
121、ompletely, they use “well”. e.g. Im well tired. “Whatever” means “I dont care”. e.g. A: But the teacher says we cant leave until weve finished. B:Whatever. Im going. Nobody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its pupils to stop u
122、sing slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak correctly this will help them get a good job. When British people use slang, its no surprise that some students say they cant understand native speakers. But perhaps learners dont need to worry about communicating with nativ
123、e speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker.How important is it to understand these slang wo
124、rds and expressions? If you watch films or TV, chat online in English, then understanding slang can be very useful. But you probably wont see much slang in your English exam though.

130、sence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念),a US study says Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions,rather than
131、 feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”. The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because i
132、t had become too focused on girlsHe criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skill
133、s But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writi

135、 music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote. Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.“In mixed schools boys f

145、 Whitehead, “is the relative loss of opportunities for children to engage in child-led play.” Thats true. One of the exhausting aspects of modern parenting is that everything, even doing nothing, has to be purposeful. Now that “parenting” has become a verb a state of doing, rather than simply being
146、it can fed unnatural to leave your children to their own devices. Yet it creates spaces in which good things can happen. The psychology lecturer is responding to a survey showing that 80 percent of parents of small children feel under pressure to fill their days with “structured” activities. This, s
147、ays Dr. Whitehead, is a mistake. Leaving your children to play on their own or with their peers enables them to develop “self-regulation abilities”, which in turn leads to better academic achievement. One afternoon last autumn, sitting on a bench doing no parenting at all, I suddenly felt I was gett
148、ing the hang of it. That afternoon, my sister and I took our children to the park. We had lots to talk about, so we sat down on a bench and drove the children away. After briefly complaining, the cousins wandered off and started jumping into puddles (水洼). They jumped and jumped, and then one of them
149、 kicked some muddy water at the others. My sister and I, deep in conversation, didnt notice this. So my nephew became more adventurous. He scooped up a handful of mud and threw it on my sons head. My son caught his breath happily, wiped the mud out of his eyes, and threw one back. My nephew, who has
150、 a talent for naming things, puffed out his tiny chest and roared: “Lets play Muddikins!” The rules of Muddikins are simple. You run around throwing mud at each other until everyone is so thickly coated that you can no longer be sure which child is whose. Nothing is learnt from it; nobody is improve

154、l leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship (实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are
155、 still few and far behind. Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to
156、 do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education schoo
157、l professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills. Schwartz believed that the best career programs enco
158、urage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example ,encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre
159、still at high school. However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience,
160、they will become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.【小题1】In the authors opinion, German high school leavers _.

In their first year, students are offered some job pathways in natural resources, human services, health care, bu
164、siness, arts and communication. The following year, each student chooses one of the pathways and examines it in depth, spending three hours a week watching someone on the job. Such a program is also in practice in some other states. The school-to-work program is built around a partnership. For examp
165、le, Eastman Kodak, a major employer in Colorado, introduces students to business by helping them construct a model city using small pieces of wood. “The children use the models to decide on the best place to set up schools,” says Lucille Mantelli, director for Eastman Kodak in Colorado. Kodak introd
166、uces math by teaching fifth graders to use their pocket money properly. They also provide one-on-one job watching experiences and offer chances of practice for high school juniors and seniors. “Students come to the workplace two or three hours a week,” explains Mantelli. “They do the job for us. We
167、pay them and they get school credits (学分). We also give them our views on their performance and developmental opportunities.” In these partnerships, everybody wins. The students tend to take more difficult courses than students in schools that dont offer such programs. Business benefits by having a
168、better prepared workforce needed in future years. “Its a way for us to work with the school systems to develop the type of workforce well need in future years,” Mantelli continued. “We need employees who understand the basics of reading and writing. We need them to be good at math and to be comforta
169、ble working on a team.” “Our theory is that they can learn as much outside the classroom as in. All students have the ability to change the world, not just to live in it. To do that, they have to know how to solve problems and use critical thinking skills. We need to encourage them to dream about jo
