16.A college education is out.of reach for most state and federal prisoners.California'a San Quentin is one of the few prisons in the country that offers college-level courses.
Jody Lewen has run the prison's college program for over a decade and she's the reason that die Prison University Project exists today.When Lewen joined San Quentin's college program in 1999 as a volunteer instructor,it was run by a small volunteer staff with no budget.At that time,she was a graduate student,with plans to return to academic research.But a year later,when the part-time director suddenly quit,Lewen found herself in charge.
Under Lewen's leadership,the Prison University Project has expanded,now offering 20 classes in English,math,social science and Spanish.Three hundred prisoners enroll (入學(xué)) every year,earning college credits which can lead to an associate of arts degree.So far,100 San Quentin prisoners have graduated with associate's degrees and many more have continued their college studies after release.
"This experience really has changed my life.It's given me a lot of tools on how to express myself,"says Charles Spence,who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin."This program is really rare in the prison setting,so I'm really lucky."
Research shows that the more education a prisoner has,the less likely he is to return to prison.Lewen says the chance for those with college degrees back into prison is less than 10 percent.
But the Prison University Project receives no government funding.Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison,but without government support,it's not likely to happen any time soon.In the meantime,there's a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program.Some day,Lewen hopes to expand her program,making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin.
66.Which of the following is true of the Prison University Project?C
A.Jody Lewen founded it in 1999.
B.It was supported by the government.
C.Jody took charge of it quite accidentally.
D.It is performed in most prisons in the U.S.
67.Jody Lewen joined in San Quentin's college program toA
A.work as a volunteer teacher                             
B.be a part-time director
C.do some scientific research                             
D.earn her college credits
68.According to the text,Charles Spence might beB
A.a(chǎn) graduate student                                      
B.a(chǎn) San Quentin prisoner
C.a(chǎn) volunteer teacher                                     
D.a(chǎn) prison manager
69.The project is quite meaningful becauseD
A.prisoners have equal rights of education
B.it doesn't need support from the government
C.the society is more concerned about prisoners
D.it reduces the chance for prisoners back in prison
70.We learn from the last paragraph that the problem for the Project isD    A.there are fewer and fewer volunteer teachers
B.more and more prisoners want to enroll
C.too many prisoners are housed at San Quentin
D.it lacks financial support from the government.

13.Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youth fill Internet cafes,switch on a game console (游戲機(jī)),or otherwise sit down to enter fantasy worlds.I'm talking about video games.These games can be fun and exciting,but we need to look out when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Games are often quite exciting and dramatic,but they generally aren't very intellectual.We don't learn as much from them as we would only reading a book.Spending too much time playing them can take away our study time.We need to remember that we are students first.Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.
Video games can also be a bad effect on younger children who may be watching.Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other player(s).This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to deal with situations maturely.Even if we do need to sit down and play a violent video game,we need to make sure that it does not affect the younger people around us.
Playing a computer game in our spare time is not a bad thing.Games can be a great way to relax after studying,to connect to our friends,or just to help our creativity.However,games should not become the focus of our life.We need to make sure that playing games never interferes with our studies and that we aren't thinking about them all day.If we ever find ourselves playing them too much,we need to break the addiction.If that happens,we need to step away from the computer or television screen and learn to spend our time more productively.

60.The writer mainly tells the readersB.
A.to play computer games every afternoon
B.not to play computer games too much
C.not to affect other people while playing games
D.to spend more time studying
61.The writer thinks about computer games all of the following exceptC.
A.exciting           B.dramatic           C.intellectual          D.violent
62.Computer games may have bad effect on younger children becauseC.
A.these children often stay in Internet cafes all day long
B.children often forget to do their lessons
C.computer games are often violent
D.children don't have enough money to play computer games
63.The writer advises computer game playersA.
A.not to affect younger people around
B.not to play violent games
C.never to enter Internet cafes
D.to teach younger children how to play computer games.

11.Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no",and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years.But surverys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect,and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And,no,I don't feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
Two years ago,Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus,professor at the University of New Hampshire in America,has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers(同等的人).It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked,but the punishment may have been counterpoductive(反作用的) to their mental development,as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks(用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year,Marjorie Gunnoe,a psychologist at Calvin College,studied teens who have never spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished.Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾氣).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment.
57.According to the first three paragraphs,the author was probably hit by her parents whenB.
A.they were dissatisfied with her grade    
B.she showed no respect for the elder
C.they cannot control their temper   
D.their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
58.According to Murray Straus,children who are physically punishedD.
A.a(chǎn)re less aggreesive toward others when they get older
B.have slower physical development
C.benefit from occasional spanking
D.may develop lower IQs than their peer
59.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?D
A.40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B.Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C.Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D.Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
60.The author seems to agree thatC.
A.parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
B.children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C.good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
D.physical punishment should be the last resort of any parent.

1.I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on"two-hour business plans".I separated them into six groups and gave them an example:a restaurant chain.The more original their idea,the better,I said.Finally,five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains.The sixth proposed a catering(餐飲) service.Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult,I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers,financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies.They were not without talent or opinions,but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness.The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years'teaching at the school.Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review.Case study debates were written up and just memorized.Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy,better than inventing and creating.
In China,every product you can imagine has been made and sold.But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind,partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established.And then there's the"thousand-talent  scheme":this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money.But there are worries about China's research environment.It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness,and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last,for China,becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities.Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively.It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds.It's not that simple.

68.Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?D
A.Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B.Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C.Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
D.Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
69.The underlined word"scheme"in the forth paragraph meansC.
A.timetable   B.theme   C.project   D.policy
70.We can infer from the passage thatB.
A.China can make and sell any product all over the world
B.high pay may not solve the problem of China's research environment
C.cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
D.the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
71.Which is the best title of the passage?A
A.Look for a New Way of Learning
B.Reward Creative Thinking
C.How to Become a Creator
D.Establish a Technical Environment.

5.On a recent morning,Ramón González,the headmaster of M.S.223,a public middle school in the South Bronx,arrived at work as usual at 7:30,took off his coat and suit jacket,put his tea and toast from a nearby diner on the conference table in his office and walked down the hallway to the school's back door to greet arriving students.González had a busy schedule for the day.Among other things,he needed to get to work on a suggestion for the city's Department of Education to expand 223into a high school.
At 10,González was finally about to sit down at his computer,when he was interrupted.A young teacher came into his office in tears,unable to figure out what was going on with an eighth grader who had just moved to M.S.223from a public school in Florida,was way behind in class and had been wandering around the school's hallways between periods,looking lost.González knew almost nothing about the girl.Like many of his students,she turned up at M.S.223with no more than a bill to prove she lived in the neighborhood.He calmed the teacher and started trying to figure out what was happening.(When he finally reached an administrator at the girl's old school days later,he discovered that she had been classified with a severe learning disability.)
