T-shirts out; uniforms in
School uniforms(制服) are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (標(biāo)記) 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 that 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(障礙); school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For 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. 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 children’s “creativity.” First, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (個性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
【小題1】From the passage we learn that uniforms in general       .

A.prevent the wearers from being laughed at
B.help the wearers keep their duties in mind
C.a(chǎn)re seen as a symbol of power
D.help to create social barriers
【小題2】Some people are against school uniforms because       .
A.they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
B.they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
C.they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
D.they think that school uniforms are too popular
【小題3】The author would probably agree that       .
A.it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B.students’ individuality may not come from school education
C.students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D.school uniforms help to create equality among students
【小題4】School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____
A.they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.
B.if all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.
C.uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties
D.school uniforms will affect their children’s creativity.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆天津市十二校高三第二次模擬聯(lián)考英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try. “What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition .
【小題1】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【小題2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A.It builds up a sense of duty.B.It pushes society forward.
C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.
【小題3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
【小題4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’.
B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
【小題5】Which point of view may the author agree to?
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Competition should be encouraged.
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.

In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?

Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language   level is being raised.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每篇短文后所給的四個選項(A、B、C 和 D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Steve Wayne, 16, who worked this summer as a lifeguard and swim teacher in Idaho Falls, was thrilled to see an extra $ 20 in his paycheck when the federal minimum wage increased in July.

“When you’re getting paid minimum wage, anything helps,” Wayne said.

Wayne is one of several hundred thousand American teenagers who earn the minimum wage. The last of three recent increases took the minimum from $5.15 an hour in 2007 to $7.25.

US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis says the minimum-wage increase will pump an extra $ 5.5 billion into the economy over the next year, which is helpful at a time when the economy is hurting.

“You’re giving people who spend money a raise,” said Kai Filion of the Economic Policy Institute. “Those people will go out and spend that money, and it will circulate through the economy.”

But other economists say raising the wage actually hurts the very people it’s designed to help. A higher hourly minimum, they say, could force businesses to cut workers’ hours, or even lay people off.

“What matters for people earning minimum wage is how much money they take home in total,” explained Rajeev of Georgia State University’s Economic Forecasting Center. “Their hourly rate may go up, but their number of hours may come down, so it’s not an overall increase.”

Business owners also say that raising the minimum wage exerts (施加) upward pressure on other wages. “If the minimum wage is $ 7 and I have to pay $ 8 or $ 9 to hire a dishwasher, then the cooks are going to say they want more,” said Cleveland restaurant owner Rick. “How much can I charge for that hamburger?”

Another argument is that it makes it more expensive for businesses to hire new workers. For many businesses already struggling to make ends meet in these tough times, it will be simply too expensive to keep them or to hire new people.

1. Steve Wayne was excited that ______.

A. his hard work had paid off

B. he had received a big wage increase

C. he has more money due to an increase in minimum wage

D. the wages of American teenage workers have been increased

2. According to the text, the US federal government has increased minimum wage with the aim of ______.

A. decreasing unemployment                             B. promoting economic recovery

C. increasing American teenagers’ wage        D. narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor

3. What matters most to people in need of help is ______.

A. a higher hourly minimum                  B. more working hours

C. a minimum-wage increase                D. an increase in total income

4. Some are against the increase in minimum wage because they say ______.

A. only very few workers will be helped

B. they have to cut down working hours

C. many business owners can’t afford to employ new workers

D. minimum wage workers will expect more pay rises in the future
