Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
小题1:“Dropouts” are those who _______.

A．make troubles in and out of schools

B．go about or stay home instead of being at school

C．try hard but always fails in the exams

D．lose hope and give up some of their subjects

小题2:According to the passage, it’s necessary to teach students _______.

A．how to study well	B．how to get on with others
C．to show love and care for others	D．All above

小题3:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．The Trouble in Japanese Schools

B．The Problems of Japanese Students

C．Education in Japan

D．The Pressures on the Students in Japan

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:D

试题分析：本文主要讲述了日本学生尽管学习非常努力但不开心，因为父母带给他们很大的压力，同时学校制度也在某种程度上给学生以不小的压力。
小题1:从上一句they don’t want to go to school any longer（他们不想再上学）可以推断出Dropouts应该是辍学的人，故选B
小题2:从文章最后一句...to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents可得知包括ABC三项内容，故选D。
小题3:从文章第一二句Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents结合全文内容可知文章主要讲述日本学生面临的巨大压力。

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography（海洋学）, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story, though. Life in LA is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace? Then you probably should stay away from America’s large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D. C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live in could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
小题1:What, according to the author, should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?

A．The climate	B．The scenery
C．The study condition	D．The living condition

小题2:What is California like?

A．California is the best place to live in.

B．California is the worst place to live in.

C．California is a state with the largest city.

D．California is a state with different climates.

小题3: If you study in Middle America, you can probably _______.

A．find the best universities

B．feel the real character of the nation

C．meet the most famous professors there

D．face more difficulties

小题4: What can we conclude from the text?
A.All American famous universities lie in nice places.
B. Los Angeles is the most dangerous city in the USA.
C. Washington D.C. is the political centre of the USA.
D. It is always raining in the Midwest of the USA.

When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.
　　Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
　　The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
　　Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
　　In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
　　Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.
小题1:What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?

A．Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.

B．A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.

C．American universities are enrolling more international students.

D．University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.

小题2:What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?

A．The political correctness.

B．Their ability to raise funds.

C．Their fame in academic circles.

D．Their administrative experience.

小题3:What do we learn about European universities from the passage?

A．The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.

B．Their operation is under strict government supervision.

C．They are strengthening their position by globalization.

D．Most of their revenues come from the government.

小题4:Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.

A．she was known to be good at raising money

B．she could help strengthen its ties with Yale

C．she knew how to attract students overseas

D．she had boosted Yale’s academic status

小题5:In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?

A．They can enhance the university’s image.

B．They will bring with them more international faculty.

C．They will view a lot of things from a new perspective.

D．They can set up new academic disciplines.

Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
小题1: Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage ?

A．Ways to protect our planet.	B．Solutions to climate change.
C．Be prepared for climate change.	D．Climate change and its effects.

小题2: What is the author’s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?

A．To show the damage earthquakes caused.

B．To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

C．To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

D．To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.

小题3: What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Separated.

B．Destroyed.

C．Removed.

D．Affected.

小题4: What can be inferred from the Passage?

A．Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.

B．There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.

C．The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.

D．The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.

Our senses aren't just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world; they're affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who've just eaten.
Psychologists have known for decades that what's going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Rémi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens.
Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-1evel thinking processes get involved. Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen-a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes, Radel says. "This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs. "Radel says.
小题1:Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment?

A．Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach.

B．Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testers, hungry and non-hungry.

C．Because noon was not the right time for any experiment.

D．Because Radel needed time to select participants in terms of body mass index.

小题2:What does the writer want to tell us?

A．Human’s senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world.

B．What’s perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking.

C．Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.

D．Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses.

小题3:What can we infer from the passage?

A．42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.

B．An experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.

C．Our thinking processes are independent of our senses.

D．Humans can perceive what they need without involving high-level thinking processes

Legends about the development of coffee are varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political tricks, and the pursuit of wealth and power.
According to one story, a sheepherder named Kaldi, as he tended his sheep, noticed the effect of coffee beans. He noticed that the sheep became excited after eating the red “cherries" from a certain plant when they changed pastures (牧场). He tried it himself, and was soon as overactive as his sheep. Another story relates that a monk happened to discover that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help him stay awake.
Another legend gives us the name for coffee, “mocha”. Omar, an Arabian was thrown to the desert with his followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the soup save the group, but the residents of the nearest town, Mocha, took their survival as a religious sign. The plant and its beverage (饮料) were named Mocha to honor this event.
Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia, whose inhabitants believed it to be a tasty thing and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans. The government forbade transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled (走私) beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, some of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.
Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.
小题1:What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A．A sheepherder used coffee beans to keep sheep excited.

B．Coffee was a special kind of red cherry from a certain plant.

C．A sheepherder and a monk accidently discovered coffee’s effect.

D．Sheep ate a lot of coffee beans while they changed pastures.

小题2:Which of the following involves political tricks?

A．Kaldi’s story.	B．The monk’s story.
C．Omar’s story.	D．Baba Budan’s story.

小题3:Mocha is originally the name of ______.

A．a town

B．an Arabian

C．a kind of coffee

D．a sheepherder

小题4:What can be the best title for the text?

A．The Secret of Coffee	B．The Tales of Coffee
C．People’s Love for Coffee	D．The Function of Coffee

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed.
There are different kinds of pollutants, each of which comes from different sources. It is necessary to identify the source of pollution, in order to make a policy to eliminate them.
Different products, processes and activities of our industrialized world together form the major source of pollution. The forms of pollution can be mainly divided into three kinds—solid, liquid and gas.
These pollutions have greatly damaged our planet and continue to do so. In fact, pollution is threatening our existence. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even posed a great threat to man’s existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution, the public must receive the education about the danger of pollution and so on.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and our later generation. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to deal with these situations by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution, I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.

There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range (范围). That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.
小题1:The expression “play safe” probably means ____.

A．to write carefully	B．to do as teachers say
C．to use dictionaries frequently	D．to avoid using words one is not sure of

小题2:Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that____.

A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely

B．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

C．students will have more trust in writing

D．students will learn to spell words correctly

小题3:The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is____.

A．reasonable

B．unfair

C．foolish

D．careless

小题4:The major point discussed in the passage is _______.

A．the importance of developing writing skills

B．the importance of spelling

C．the correct way of marking composition

D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
