根据以下材料,回答题

School Degrees

In the past, degrees were very unusual in my family. I remember the day my uncle graduated. We had a huge party, and for many years my mother called him "the genius" and listened to his opinion. Today in comparison, five of my brothers and sisters have degrees, and two are studying for their masters". However, some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees.

People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.

Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.

However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development. In the past education was only for the rich; and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing,

instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.

In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.

What can we learn about the author‘s family? 查看材料

A.They used to disregard education.

B.They are overeducated now.

C.Few members were allowed to go to school in the past.

D.There are now more educated members than in the past.

根据以下材料,回答题。

Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schoolin9. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning?The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,then,is a very broad。inclusive term. It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long before the start of school.and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formalized process,whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.

Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time.take as.signed seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams.and soon.The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example,high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their elasses the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

There is no difference between schooling and education in the United States. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题

More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims "The school bus is a mirror Of the community."

They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right, and sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.

Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl"s bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl"s family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year tiding the bus. She says, "It"s been a great tide so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener.

Sometimes when you"re a child, adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr.

Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree.

Brace Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy"s outstanding record. "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days: he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles, Hardy"s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride

his bus. "

Althouse further added. "Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since my grandfather started the business with one bus.

Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to divers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations. Liesl"s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy"s bus to the Octorara School District.

The word "mirror"in the first line could be best replaced by__________. 查看材料

A."vehicle"

B."device"

C."need"

D."reflection"

By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.

As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students" brains.__________(48) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read, This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.

A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gone through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests. __________ (49) However, some researchers still doubt the study.__________ (50)

根据以下材料,回答题。

Rising Tuition in the US

Every spring, US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year"s budget.They consider faculty salaries, utility costs for dormitories, new building, needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude——it seems, inevitably——that, yet again, the cost of tuition must go up.

According to the US"s College Board, the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between 1993 and 2004 (46) In 2005 and 2006 ,the numbers continued to rise.

According to university officials, college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks. "Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year."said the university"s president, Dr. Bill Brown. "Student tuition pays for 78 percent of the university"s operating costs. "Brown"s school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report"s and The Princeton Review"s (47)

Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the school"s board of trustees(懂事) (48) This board oversees (监管)all of a state"s public institutions.

John Durham,assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University(ECU) ,explains that state law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever possible to the people of the state for free. Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education (49) State residents attending ECU pay about US $ 10,000 for tuition, room and board before financial aid.

Amid the news about continued increases in college costs, however, there is some good news.Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university. To receive financial aid, US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible(有资格的)for grants or loans (50)

请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案。 查看材料

A.The application is then sent to the student"s university, where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much.

B.At public universities, however, tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee, sometimes called the board "of governors.

C.The school currently charges US $ 23,410 a year for tuition.

D.Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food.

E.That"s more than double the rate of inflation.

F.The state government covers the rest.

根据以下材料,回答题

"Feed Me Better"

When British TV Chef Jamie Oliver launched his "Feed Me Better" campaign in 2004 in schools in the Greenwich area of London with the aim of improving the diet of British schoolchildren, some people were skeptical about the impact it would have. Oliver"s highly-publicized television campaign to improve school lunches led to dramatic changes in the meals offered to pupils in the Greenwich schools. In order to achieve his aim, Oliver needed to show schools how to swap (交换) cheap processed meals, which were high in saturated fat (饱和脂肪 ) salt, and sugar, for healthier options.

Now, research at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) has shown that Oliver"s experiment did not only help pupils eat more healthily, it also resulted in them performing better at school in English and Science and in helping schools reduce their rates of absenteeism (缺勤). The ISER study, carried out by Michele Belot and Jonathan James, showed "substantial" positive effects, with the performance of 11-year-old pupils eating Oliver"s meals improving by up to 8% in Science and by as much as 6% in English. In addition, the number of children having

authorized absences for sickness since 2004 showed a 14% decrease.

The ISER study analyzed the academic test results of more than 13,000 children in Greenwich between 2002 and 2007 to evaluate the impact of Oliver"s healthier meals on school performance.

Pupils who sat exams in 2006-2007 had been on the new diet for at least 12 months, and the researchers found that the number of pupils reaching higher levels of achievement had clearly risen.

The study also compared the results of the schools in Greenwich with those of pupils of the same age in seven other London areas who did not eat the meals created by Oliver. The researchers were surprised by the speed of improvements in the Greenwich pupils. They could find no other explanation for the results except for the healthier and more nutritious meals created by Oliver.

Commenting on ISER"s findings, Oliver said he felt the research proved that he was right in his decision to remove fatty processed food and replace it with nutrient-rich (营养的 ) foods such as coconut (椰子), fish, and broccoli (花椰菜). He commented that "we could see that it made them calmer and therefore able to learn".

The Feed Me Better campaign targeted a healthier diet at school children. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题

American Society

When foreigners are sometimes asked what seems most strange about American society,somewhere on the top of the list will be the fact the average citizen is allowed to possess guns.

Although it is true that many people carry guns legally in the United States, it is also known that many who possess guns carry illegally. Others, who don"t have guns, feel that guns can be acquired quite easily. A recent survey indicated that many high school students, especially in the inner cities, can acquire gun with little difficulty.

Although most people would never want to own a gun, others have taken up hunting as a sport and enjoy hunting wild game in season. Hunting for deer and duck in fall and winter is very much a part of the American culture.

Also, some farmers in rural areas who raise cattle and sheep feel they need to protect their animals against wolves that attack their herds and flocks at night. To defend and support their rights to possess firearms the National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in 1871. The main importance of this organization has been its efforts to prevent strict gun control legislation. The NRA has great political support in small towns and rural areas, especially in the West and the South,where hunting is especially popular. Those who favor the right to possess guns insist that the Constitution provides the right of people "to keep and bear arms". They believe that gun control laws will not solve the problem of crime and violence in America.

Recent events in America, however, have shown that the question of gun possession is now out of control and strong voices have called for immediate action to be taken. In seemingly peaceful schools students have gone into classrooms and opened fire upon their classmates.

America has been shocked by such incidents which seem to occur with greater frequency. The periodic deaths of innocent citizens and even foreign visitors from guns have forced legislators to pass laws to stop these senseless killings.

The day may not be far off when America will be transformed from a gun culture to one which controls their use and possession.

What is most unusual about American society? 查看材料

A.Many Americans acquire guns illegally.

B.Ordinary people can possess guns legally.

C.The average citizen does not try to possess guns.

D.Many school children carry guns legally.

根据以下材料,回答题

Studies Show US Spending Doesn"t Get Best Health

The United States may spend twice as much on health care as other rich countries, but it is not getting results to match according to studies released on Tuesday.

But in the study of five wealthy countries, published in the journal Health Affairs, researchers found no single nation had clearly the worst or best health care system.

Gerard Anderson at Johns Hopkins University"s school of public health and colleagues came up with a list of 21 health fields they could evenly compare across the five countries ——Australia,Canada, Britain, New Zealand and the United States.

"Hone of the five countries is consistently the best or the worst on all 21 indicators." Anderson said during a telephone briefing for reporters.

"If you are looking for the place to get the best care, there isn"t a single place. Every country has at least one indicator where it scores the best of the five countries and each country has at least one indicator where it scores the worst of the five countries. "

But, he said, the United States is not getting value for money. "The United States should be particularly concerned about these results, given that we spend twice as much on health care as any other country. So spending more doesn"t necessarily result in "better outcomes."

Anderson"s group of international health experts sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund spent five years working on the study, getting the latest possible data from the five countries on areas such as breast cancer and leukemia survival, suicide rates, death rates from asthma, vaccination rates and cancer screening.

The US spends twice as much on health care as other rich countries. 查看材料
