They thrived on(喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to
15、attend summer camp when their parents couldnt afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything, ” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distrib
16、uted.

Is help on the way? Just the sight of a test booklet (
20、小册子) makes some kids sweat. For others，it is a blank answer sheet. Then there are the dreaded words. “Take out your Number 2 pencil. ”All these fill 10yearold Chelsea Logo with fear. “I start to tap my pencil on the desk，” says the fifth grader from Toluca Lake Elementary，near Los Angeles, Californi
21、a. “Then I feel the_butterflies_in_my_stomach.”Chelsea is not alone. In a recent survey by KidsHealth. org, more than 70% of kids aged 9 to 13 said they worry about tests. Its no wonder. Across the United States, public schools give more than 250 million standardized tests each year.Why do kids have
22、 to take so many tests? The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law requires that students in grades 3 through 8 be tested each year. The laws goal is for all students to be at grade level by 2016. Students must pass the tests and meet other requirements or their schools may be shut down.U. S. Secretary of
23、Education Arne Duncan wants to change NCLB. But that doesnt mean he favors getting rid of tests. Duncan believes tests should be used mainly to evaluate kids strengths and weaknesses. Tests, Duncan says，should not be used to punish kids or their schools for failure. “The goal is to focus on great te
24、aching and learning, ”Duncan said.Under NCLB, each state sets its own standards for students to meet. The result，Duncan says, is that states are making the tests easier. To fix this problem, 48 states are now working together to create common standards. “I want to set a high bar for kids，”Duncan say
25、s，“so they ll be in great shape to achieve their dreams.”Like them or not，tests are here to stay. So how can you handle test nerves? Schools are teaching students to relax through deep breathing and stretching (伸展运动). In Oakland, California, Principal Zarina Ahmad of Piedmont Avenue Elementary leads
26、 her students in a cheer to get them excited about learning.“Kids are under high pressure，”says Ahmad. “There has to be time for kids to be kids. Still，we need tests to help us assess what students have yet to learn.” 9. The underlined part“the butterflies in my stomach”can be replaced by _.A. guilt
27、y B. nervousC. exciting D. proud答案：B句意理解题。由第一段中的Just the sight of test booklet makes some kids sweat及All these fill 10yearold Chelsea Logo with fear可以判断，本段主要讲的是学生面临考试时的紧张情绪，由此可以推断划线部分的意思是“紧张的”。10According to the passage, the NCLB law _.Ais focusing on teaching methods in schoolsBis requiring schools
28、 to make the tests more difficultCis trying to make schools be responsible for studentsDaims to evaluate kids strengths and weaknesses by means of tests答案：C推理判断题。由第三段的“Students must pass the tests and meet other requirements or their schools may be shut down可知，如果学生不能通过考试，按照NCLB法令一些学校将会被关闭，由此可以看出NCLB
29、法令是为了督促学校对学生负起责任。”11We can learn from the passage that Arne Duncan _.Ais strongly against testsBsuggests closing some schoolsCis concerned about students developmentDsuggests each state set its own standard答案：C推理判断题。由第五段的“I want to set a high bar for kids，”Duncan says，“So theyll be in great shape to
30、 achieve their dreams.”可知，Duncan担心各个州所制定的标准过低会影响学生将来的发展，所以建议制定略高一些的考试要求，可见他关心学生的发展。12We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _Aits impossible to get rid of testsBschools have no good way to deal with students stressCtests help assess what students have to learnDschools are aware of students s
31、tress caused by tests答案：D推理判断题。最后两段主要讲一些学校针对学生对考试产生的紧张心理而采取的一些措施，说明学校意识到了学生对考试的恐惧。DWhen Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠) his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris gr
32、ew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed.

33、”“Get out and have a look round, ” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked h
34、ard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later，he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other sn

37、赚得第一桶金，然后把自己的生意越做越大，从而打开了世界这把锁钱的锁，由此可知，B项最能概括全文。14Which of the following best describes Boris job hunting experience?ASurprising.BEncouraging.CBoring.DDisappointing.答案：D推理判断题。第一段中描述了Boris求职接连失败的感受：Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardened.因此四个选项中只有disappointing(令人失望的)，符合语境。15We can in
38、fer from the last paragraph that Boris _. Astill couldnt make good profits Bset off in a successful career Cfound a lot of gold coins by accident Dhad great difficulty running his business答案：B推理判断题。最后一段前半部分告诉我们他的生意越做越大，利润越来越可观，最后一句对此做了总结，由此可以看出，他的事业取得了成功。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分， 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处

44、 lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The browneyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blueeyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor browneyed readers began to read f
