20、sor(接任者)to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvards Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the universitys 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard,” James R. Houghton, c
21、hairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated(献身的) teacher, and a wonderful human being.”Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers comments that genetic differences between
22、 the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former womens college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).Some professors have quietly groused that the 3
23、71-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.1,3,5Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive
24、a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania. “Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who wor
25、ked closely with Faust. “Shes very clear. She has a sense of humor, but shes very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because shes so solid.” 41. Which might be the best title for the passage?

28、ragraph means . A. approved B. commented C. complained D. indicated 45. This passage probably appears in a .A. biography B. personal letter C. research paper D. newspaper report B When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost
29、no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, shes been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said hes worked
30、with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody Ive ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her
31、 creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E. Hintons novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equa
32、lity and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils. Its inspiring to know that people from small towns even win national honors. As national teacher of
33、 the year, Peterson will spend the more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. She said its essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts

AShe wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice. BShe made use of the contents of other classes in her tea
37、ching. CShe organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes. DShe helped students compose songs by themselves. 50In Petersons opinion, _. Aart、 music and PE classes are all important Bmore subjects should be offered to students Cstudents should be motivated to attend art classes Darts education is
38、 more important than other subjectsCIf you look for a book as a present for a child,you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Patten.

67、urfing the internet .The survey shows that 60% of the boys like playing games on the internet while only 21% of the girls like it. Besides, “chatting” ranks the last for the boys, but the first for the girls. However, the percentage of the boys using the internet to study is 23%, the same as that of
68、 the girls, and sending e-mails on the internet is also popular with boys and girls. As for myself, 任务型写作(满分25分) One Possible Version:In this passage, the writer mainly tells us two of his experiences of being helped by strangers. After he wrote them thank-you notes, he realized that saying “thank y
69、ou” to others meant so much.I have a similar experience. Once when I was about to go home after school, it was raining so heavily that I had to wait for the rain to stop. But after half an hour it was still raining. Seeing this, the guard at the gate offered to lend me his umbrella. I accepted at on
70、ce. Thanks to his help, I got home on time without getting wet. The next morning, when I returned the umbrella to the guard, I said thank you to him and left him a note expressing my gratitude sincerely. To my surprise, he said no one had ever written him to say thank you, and it meant a lot to him.So in my opinion, saying thank you to others is not only easy but also meaningful to the person who says it and the receiver!
