Thats no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting an
23、d labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize th
24、at students already accept a kind of rule wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers (障碍); school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. F
25、or example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes,for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another
26、. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their childrens “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to we
27、ar do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While theyre in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of
28、those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.61. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “benefits” probably means .A. tasks B. messages C. advantages D. differences62. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general . A. prevent the wearers from being laughed
29、atB. help the wearers keep their duties in mindC. are seen as a symbol of powerD. help to create social barriers63. Some people are against school uniforms because .A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniformsB. they believe that uniforms will make students less creativeC. they d
30、ont agree that uniforms can remove social barriersD. they think that school uniforms are too popular64. The author would probably agree that .A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or notB. students individuality may not come from school educationC. students creativity is related
31、to the clothes they chooseD. school uniforms help to create equality among studentsB When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying, “We have to go to work now,” youre left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. They are the 1990s generation and the idea of children working
32、is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies(机构) to supply children for stage and television work. But to match the name “stage school”, these scho
33、ols should offer a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldnt settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their wa
34、y through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight(紧的) on the amount they can do. Those under 13
35、 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who arent successful? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on chil
36、dren getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.65. The children attending a stage school were mostly born_.A. in the 1990s B. in the 21st century C. in poor families D. in the city66. In the writers opinion, a good stage school should _.A. produce star perform
37、ersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training.67. The underlined phrase “professional work” in the fourth paragraph means _ in the passage.A. ordinary school work B. money-making performancesC. stage train
38、ing at school D. acting, singing or dancing after class68. Which of the following best describes(描述) how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B. He favours(支持) an early start in the training of performing arts.C. He feels uncomfortable about children pu
39、tting on night shows.D. He doubts the standard（水准）of ordinary education they have reached.CIn 1993, I had my first chance to visit Russia as a representative of the University of California. I was there to provide some technical assistance in the area of agricultural labor management. Russians are a
40、 very polite people, I had been told before my arrival. One of my interpreters, once I was there, said that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other courtesies.Toward the end of my threeweek trip I was invited by my young Russian host and friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his lov
41、ely wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined(回绝) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But the whole while my mind was racing, What do I do? Do I offer her a banana even though they are as close to
42、 her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?Would you like a banana? I asked Yulya.Yes, she smiled, but made no attempt to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket. What now? I thought.Which one would you like? I fumbled (笨拙地做).That one, she pointed at one of the bananas. So all
43、the while thinking about Russian politeness I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at and peeled(剥) it half way and handed it to her. Smiles in Yulya and Nicolais faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing
44、is to peel the bananas for the ladies. Sometime during my third trip I was politely disabused(使省悟) of my belief.Oh no, Grigorii Davidovich, a Russian graciously corrected me. In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady it means he has a romantic interest in her. How embarrassed I felt. And here
45、I had been proudly telling everyone about this tidbit (趣闻) of cultural understanding.Certain lessons have to be learned the hard way. Some well meaning articles and presentations on cultural differences have a potential(可能性) to do more harm than good and may not be as amusing. They present, like my
46、bananas, too many generalizations or quite a distorted（歪曲的）view.69. What does the underlined word “courtesies” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Politeness. B. Customs. C. Traditions. D. Kindness.70. How did the writer feel at the end of the meal? A. Honored. B. Pleased. C. Puzzled. D. Embarr
47、assed.71. What happened during the writers third trip to Russia? A. He tried to show romantic interest in Yulya. B. He made a speech about his embarrassing experience. C. He was told that peeling bananas for ladies didnt mean being polite.D. He found some articles did not present correct views about
48、 cultural differences.72. What is the article mainly about? A. Trips to Russia. B. Cultural differences. C. Agricultural labor management. D. Communications with ladies. D In summer, millions of people will head for the beachAnd while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be u
49、seful in another waySome scientists think that waves could help make electricity“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the U
50、niversity of Edinburgh in Scotland“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the ocean“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ri
51、pples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey”When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams(大坝) or other barricades(障碍物) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a t
52、urbine (涡轮)The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机)The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in ScotlandThe resource is hugeWe are never short of wave power; besides, wave energy does not create the same poll
53、ution as other energy sources, such as oil and coalOceans cover three quarters of the earths surfaceThat would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the worldThere are some drawbacks, howeverJamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much moneyHe said that its effects on anim
54、als in the sea were still unknownPlus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat trafficWith more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said“Demand(需求) for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly
55、throughout the worldFinding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may give out some day”In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be producing the electricity! 73. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Wave power costs to
56、o much moneyB. Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sourcesC. Wave power affects fishing and boat trafficD. Wave power may affect marine(海产的) animals74.
