【題目】

Café en Seine
The wildly luxury (奢華) new art style of this huge bar has been a huge hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners. Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar.
Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service
Address: 40 Dawson St
Transport: all city centre
Phone: 01 677 4369

Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s)
The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch (艙口) so that they could drink on the job – therefore the pub’s nickname. Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years. In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers bathing in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town. An absolute classic.
Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food
Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin
Transport: 13 from city centre
Phone: 830 7978

Davy Byrne’s
James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognize the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses. It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.
Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV
Address: 21 Duke St
Transport: all city centre
Website: www.davybyrnes.com
Phone: 01 677 5217

【題目】In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超過……分?jǐn)?shù)) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.

That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”O(jiān)ne of the ironies(諷刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible.____________________________________________________________________________.

【1】Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.

A. there are striking differences between the 2 countries

B. Polish kids are better at learning

C. he intends to improve his scores

D. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

【2】According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.

A. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

B. too much importance is placed on sports in America

C. American high schools complain about sports time

D. PISA plays a very important role in America

【3】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.

A. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

D. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

【4】The purpose of this article is to _______.

A. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

C. compare Polish schools with those in America

D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions

【題目】Readers of many different periods have considered Du Fu to be the greatest poet of the Chinese tradition. Such general agreement can partially be explained by the immense variety of his work, which holds up quite well to different tastes and historical changes in fashion. Like Shakespeare in English tradition, Du Fu's poetry came to be so deeply bound up with the constitution of literary value that generation after generation of poets and critics rediscovered themselves and their interests in some aspect of the poet.

Chinese critics from the Song Dynasty referred to Du Fu as the "poet-historian". Du Fu witnessed a typically political and social situation; the common people still lived in poverty while the emperor and his top officials enjoyed a foolishly luxurious life. He composed many poems，which expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people. Du Fu used his poems to comment on current events and historical images. Du Fu became the historian by creating his responses to particular situations.

Du Fu was talented. When he was young, he wanted to get a good job in the government. Unfortunately Du Fu was refused several times. He was in his fifties when he began to serve as a minor official in Changan( Xi'an).

Du Fu was dismissed in the form of a transfer to the post of personnel administrator in Huazhou and so he left Changan. And in 759 he arrived in Chengdu. He set up a modest cottage with some money he borrowed from his friend who served as a local governor. In the cottage he had a simple and peaceful life for three years, writing about 240 poems.

Du Fu left Chengdu after 762 and wandered in the southern provinces and eventually died of illness in 770. After his death, the people in Chengdu built a shrine (神殿)on the site of his garden to honor him, which is known as part of Du Fu Thatched Cottage now.

【1】 Why does the author compare Du Fu to Shakespeare?

A. Du Fu's poetry was written following Shakespeare's style.

B. Du Fu's poetry referred to the social change critically.

C. Du Fu and Shakespeare were best friends.

D. Shakespeare read a lot of Du Fu's poems.

【2】 Du Fu ______ when he was young.

A. didn't want to be an official

B. was worried about the education

C. wasn't liked by the emperor

D. wasn't offered an opportunity to work in the government

【3】 What did Du Fu describe in most of his poems?

A. The luxurious life that the emperor and his top officials enjoyed.

B. His happy life.

C. His responses to particular situations.

D. His dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.

【4】 What did the people do after Du Fu died according to the passage?

A. They destroyed his cottage.

B. They rebuilt the cottage he had lived into a high building.

C. They built a shrine to honor him.

D. They made a carved statue of him.

【5】 What's the title of the passage?

C. Du Fu—One of the Greatest Poets in Tang Dynasty

D. Du Fu Was Not a Skilled Survivor in Government Politics
