【題目】Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer. But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education. Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education----unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.

The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.

The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.

Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.

The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence. The school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.

Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage. Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

【1】Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because _________.

A．they believe that the school will have a bright future

B．they believe the government is sure to approve the school

C．the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully

D．they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions

【2】The trouble the students in the school may have is that ________.

A．the government will have no voice in the school

B．they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school

C．other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school

D．they will not learn how to be competitive

【3】What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?

A．It is another kind of diploma mill.

B．It’s impossible for the school to be competitive.

C．It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.

D．Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．University of New Style.

B．China’s Education Reform.

C．Modeling Hong Kong University.

D．Authorized or Not?

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

試題分析：本文是一則新聞報(bào)道。深圳南方科技大學(xué)自主招生50名奇才學(xué)生，向中國教育部發(fā)起了挑戰(zhàn)。

【1】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，如果政府不支持該校的做法，這50名學(xué)生的處境就相當(dāng)麻煩。其他學(xué)校將因其非官方的畢業(yè)證而拒絕他們的入學(xué)申請。但這些困難并沒有嚇到學(xué)生和家長。這說明，他們認(rèn)為該校會(huì)有光明的前景。A項(xiàng)表述符合文意，故選A。

【2】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的“Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.”可知C項(xiàng)表述符合文意，其他三項(xiàng)均與文意不符，故選C。

【3】D 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第五段的最后三句“To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence. The school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.”可知作者認(rèn)為，政府應(yīng)當(dāng)有勇氣讓教育家進(jìn)行大膽的嘗試。再根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，中國的教育改革已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了一個(gè)關(guān)鍵性的新階段。南方科技大學(xué)將證明它比文憑制作工廠更具有競爭力。這一切都說明，作者認(rèn)為南方科技大學(xué)的自主招生或許有益于教育改革。D項(xiàng)表述準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)了作者的觀點(diǎn)。故選D。

【4】A 標(biāo)題歸納題。A高校招生的新模式；B中國的教育改革；C仿效香港大學(xué)；D官方的還是非官方的。本文主要介紹了南方科技大學(xué)的自主招生的情況，A項(xiàng)表述概括了文章的大意，可以作為本文的標(biāo)題。其他三項(xiàng)表述的只是文中的細(xì)節(jié)，不能作為文章的標(biāo)題。故選A。

【題目】E

How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.

Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.

What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, and more American men followed his example.

There is also a cyclical(周期性的) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War II, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.

Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.

At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous(失禮的) to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!

【1】According to the passage, we care about our appearance most in the age period of_____.

A. 10-20 B. 10-25 C. 20-25 D.20-30

【2】The reason why we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion is mainly that_____.

A. Fashion magazines or TV advertisements show us the latest fashionable styles.

B. We can’t meet new people and deal with every situation confidently.

C. Our friends may think we are strange or out of date.

D. We are not content to accept ourselves as we are.

【3】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. President Kennedy once caused a disaster in the American hat industry

B. Before the second World War , skirts had dropped shorter to ankle length.

C. You can’t dress however you like or do your hair the way you like today.

D. The “untidy” jeans are a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion.

【4】We can conclude from the last paragraph that_____.

A. We do need to dress ourselves properly on some occasions.

B. We do need to follow the fashion all the time.

C. We may feel depressed if we don’t look like the latest fashion photo.

D. People around are always following the latest fashion.

【題目】Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled（迷惑的）at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

【1】What is true about children when they play games?

A. They can stop playing any time they like.

B. They can test their personal abilities.

C. They want to pick a better team.

D. They don’t need rules.

【2】To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.

A. play well

B. wait for his turn

C. be confident in himself

D. be popular among his playmates

【3】Why does a child like playing games?

A. Because he can be someone other than himself.

B. Because he can become popular among friends.

C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.

D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.

【4】The writer believes that _____.

A. children should make better rules for their games.

B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.

C. children’s games can do them a lot of good.

D. children play games without reasons.

【題目】Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.

Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.

Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.

The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.

Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (營業(yè)額).

These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.

【1】Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?

A. The number of its customers was declining

B. Its customers found the food unhealthy

C. It was in need of financial support

D. Most of its restaurants were closed

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. customers of Sparrow restaurants

B. Sparrow restaurants

C. customers of other fast-food chains

D. other fast-food chains

【3】For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?

A. To build a good relationship with the public.

B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.

C. To learn about customers’ spending power.

D. To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.

【4】What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?

A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.

B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.

C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.

D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

【題目】Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people said to me. "I never knew he was your stepfather." You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was also my father.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers," he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said, "you look just like your father." I knew she was just making conversation--but even so... "Thank you", I said. Why tell her anything different?

【1】The writer's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

A．to show his pride to have a good stepfather

B．to show how interesting a person Leo was

C．to remind us of our parents

D．to explain why they moved to the suburbs

【2】The phrase “put down roots”in the second paragraph means _______.

A．farmed B．planted C．settled D．worked

【3】In the writer's opinion, _______.

A．it is not easy to live with a stepfather

B．not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo

C．the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce

D．in stepfamilies the love and friendship are extremely precious

【4】The last sentence “Why tell her anything different?”means that _________.

A．he should have told the truth

B．he wouldn't tell her the truth

C．he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo

D．he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors
