9、30）第一节：共15小题，每题2分，满分30分AHigh school students in the United States are no less stressed than their peers in other countries. They have to work hard on their project work , preparing for examinations and applying for scholarships to their ideal universities. Still, not all young people graduate from h
10、igh school. The results of their decision to leave school early may follow them throughout their lives. Students who leave are not likely to be as successful in life as those who finish at least high school .Since the 1940s,students who do not complete high school have had another choice. This is a
11、certificate called G.E.D., which is short for General Educational Development. People who have earned a G.E.D. can get admitted to college and continue their education.To earn a G.E.D., students must pass five examinations. These are in writing,social studies,science,reading and mathematics.Testing
12、officials say a person who passes the test is at the same level as sixty percent of graduating high school students. This is in the level of ability to read, write,work with numbers and understand informatiom. Each year, more than 500,000 people take the G.E.D. examinations. About 70 percent pass.Bu
13、t research has shown that only about 11 percent of G.E.D. holders complete a year or more of higher education. Some critics say earning a G.E.D. is not as good as completing high school.They say the test does not force people to study the way they have to in order to graduate. Critics say this is on
14、e reason G.E.D. holders generally do not stay in college.They also say the possibility of taking the G.E.D. test makes it earsier for students to leave high school early argue that the easier it is to take the test , the higher the rate of students leaving school.Testing officials have made changes
15、in recent years designed to make the exams more difficult.And both critics and supporters of the G.E.D. agree that it performs a valuable service for those who can go on to complete college. Successful G.E.D. holders include the actor Bill Cosby ,Senator Bea Nighthorse Campbell and Delaware Governor
16、 Ruth Ann Minner.(350)21. The G.E.D. test is designed to_.A. free young people from hard work at high schoolB. provide opportunities for drop-outsC. improve high school students educationD. meet the need of college students22. Which is a disadvantage of the G.E.D. test?A. It makes it easier for stud
17、ents to complete high school B. It makes it more likely for students to drop outC. It doesnt encourage alternative ways to studyD. It gives holders freedom not to stay in college23. Governor Minner was mentioned to show that the G.E.D. test _.A. has government backgroundB. should be made more diffic
18、ultC. can play a great part D. makes people more likely to be successfulBChoosing the Right Resolution Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight -
19、the output, we need to control what we eat - the input. That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop
20、 having desert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, research
21、er Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increa
22、sed achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryers conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on an exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-
23、set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making
24、 morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general
25、wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.24. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _ .A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it
26、is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions25. In Roland Fryers research, some students did better than the others because _ .A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their clas
27、smates D. they were rewarded for reading some books26. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A. “Ill give up desert.” B. “Ill study harder.”C. “Ill cut down my expense”D. “Ill spend more time with my family”27. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .A. dev
28、elop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang output CEdward Snowdens removal of thousands of highly classified documents from the National
29、 Security Agency and his decision to turn them over to journalists for publication started a fierce debate about who and what he is. On one side are those who consider Snowden a whistleblower, someone who has done his country a great service. Others regard him as a criminal. Snowden, meanwhile, says
30、 that his “tasks already accomplished,” that he has given Americans a “say in how they are governed” and that he has succeeded in exposing the workings of what he has called the uncontrolled “surveillance (监控) state.” But one must ask: Are Snowdens actions in consistent with his words? Snowden has t
31、aken sanctuary (庇护) in Russia, a country that, under the guidance of President Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet KGB officer, has been sliding ever deeper back into dictatorship (独裁). The Federal Security Service (FSB) has invested in technology that allows it to monitor telephone and Internet communi
32、cations and to collect and store not just metadata information about call destinations and lengths but also the content of communications. The Russian state uses that technology to engage in essentially unchecked surveillance of telephone calls, e-mail traffic, blogs, and Web sites. Over the past tw
33、o years “the Kremlin has transformed Russia into a surveillance state at a level that would have made the KGB envious.” If Snowdens objective is to give people a voice in how they are governed, and to expose massive uncontrolled surveillance, he could speak out about practices of the Russian governm
34、ent that go far beyond anything ever undertaken by the U.S. government. For better or for worse, Snowden has a large number of supporters around the world. His words are listened to by millions so he could make a difference where it counts. Yet he has been silent about the surveillance surrounding h
35、im. Why? Is he being polite to his hosts? Does he have concerns about what the FSB might do in response to what he might say? Whatever the answer, Snowdens silence about the dictatorship where he has taken sanctuary is telling. It is yet more evidence, if evidence were needed, that he is not a whist
36、leblower at all. It suggests that, instead of being a brave speaker of truths, he is a hypocrite (伪君子), with principles that he applies selectively against the justice he has betrayed.28. What does the author want to tell the readers? A. Snowdens action started a heated debate. B. It isnt clear who
37、and what Snowden is. C. Snowden exposed secret documents. D. Snowden is in fact a hypocrite.29. What is the authors attitude towards Russia? A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Sympathetic. D. Grateful.30. How does the author develop his argument?A. By analysing Snowdens statements.B. By exposing Snowdens
38、 link with FSB.C. By comparing Snowdens actions in US and Russia. D. By questioning Snowdens loyalty.31. Why does the author say Snowden is not a brave speaker of truth?来源:学科网 A. Because he has applied the wrong principles. B. Because he has kept silent about Russias dictatorship. C. Because he has
39、taken sanctuary in Russia. D. Because he has not responded to millions of his supporters.DStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought.
40、Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical
41、themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reason
42、s for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why
43、 I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and trulyengagecomplex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to d
44、ig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with
45、 the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reaso
46、n for the change. Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.(379)32Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with_Athe course material Bothers misuse of technologyCdiscussion topics Dthe authors class regulations33The underlined word “e
47、ngage ”in Para.4 probably means _.Aexplore Baccept Cchange Dreject34According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may _.Akeep students from doing independent thinkingBencourage students to have in-depth conversationsChelp students to better understand complex themesDaffect students
48、 concentration on course evaluation35It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _Ais quite stubborn Bwill give up teaching historyCwill change his teaching plan soon Dvalues technology-free dialogues in his class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的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。My mothe

66、Ms. Mary came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason 64 she had not stopped at red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak 65 old age, so that she had simply not seen it.
