第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In the past year,the number of parenting contracts-statements signed by parents agreeing to bring their child to school-has gone up by 41% to 6,861.The number of courtissued punishment notices went up by 12% to 7,793 last year.
The Department for Children,Schools and Families said that part of the rise was due to a ban on parents taking their child out of school during term time to go on holiday.The Labour government has a target to cut truancy (逃学) by a third,but the current rate of unauthorised absence in England is a third higher than in 2001. The government has introduced tough new permission to force parents to deal with their child's truancy.Parents can be fined,asked to sign contracts,or ordered to make their child go to school.Finally they can be sent to prison.The first parent to be put in prison was Patricia Amos,from Banbury,Oxfordshire,in 2006.Separate figures from the Ministry of Justice today show that 133 parents were put in prison between 2004 and 2011 for failing to prevent their child's truancy.
Children's Minister Delyth Morgan said:“It's important that we back schools and local authorities in using these powers to deal with problem pupils and bad behaviour.They rightly make parents take responsibility for their children.These
6
latest figures show that schools and local authorities continue to make good use of these measures.”
David Laws,the Liberal Democrat education spokesman,said:“While parents need to take responsibility for their children's behaviour and have the duty to ensure they attend school,truancy rates across the country remain sky high.What is needed is a more effective local approach involving parents,schools and the police.Extra money to cut class sizes and provide more onetoone support will enable teachers to work with individual children and make sure that they are occupied in the classroom.”
56.Parenting contracts are signed to________.
A.remind parents to help their child with his homework B.make parents accompany their child to school
C.keep children safe on the way to school D.ensure children attend school 57.The worst punishment parents can be faced with is________. A.to be fined B.to be put into prison
C.to sign a contract D.to lose the right to raise children
58.The underlined word “back”in Paragraph 4 probably means“________”.
A.adjust B.limit C.oppose D.support
59.We know from the passage that________.
A.the government's approach has had little effect on children's truancy B.the government should take tougher measures against parents C.the number of parents sent to prison has reduced D.schools and local authorities misuse the measures 60.In David Laws' opinion,________.
A.only schools are responsible for children's behaviour B.schools have got less support from the government
C.parents,schools and the police are to blame for children's truancy D.more effective measures should be taken to prevent children's truancy
B
When Boris left school,he could not find a job.He tried hard and pestered(纠缠)his relatives,but they had problems of their own.He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps.Boris grew annoyed,then depressed,then a little hardened.Still he went on trying and still he failed.He began to think that
7
he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business?”one of his uncles told him.“The world is a moneylocker.You'd better find a way of opening it.” “But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round,”advised his uncle in a vague sort of way.“See what people want;then give it to them,and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end.Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.He worked hard,made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit.A few months later,he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself.He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good:in the wrong position,too expensive or with some other snags (障碍).But at long last,he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition. Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles.Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed.At last,Boris had managed to open the moneylocker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Goodwill is the key to success B.The world is a moneylocker C.No education,no future D.Difficulty of starting a small business 62.Which of the following best describes Boris'job hunting experience? A.Surprising. B.Encouraging. C.Boring. D.Disappointing. 63.Boris started his career by________.
A.cycling around the town B.developing a waste ground C.repairing cycles D.buying empty shops
64.Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because________. A.it was not so expensive B.he had a lot of old customers there
C.he could make good use of his skills there D.there were good opportunities there 65.We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris________.
A.still couldn't make good profits B.set off in a successful career
C.found a lot of gold coins by accident D.had great difficutly running his business

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(特点)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk,the way they smile,the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confident
American students,I find it extremely important to be confident as an
international student and a foreign instructor.As a student,being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What's worse,the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China,but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program. 66.To compete with American students it's very important to________. A.be quite confident B.be polite and friendly
C.have more discussions with them D.understand what they think about 67.A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who________.
A.gives a silly or simple answer B.tries to seize any chance to speak in class C.shows no interest in the course D.is considered to have no opinion of his own 68.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if________.
A.he asks a student to repeat what he has said B.the students bargain with him
9
C.he pretends to know what he doesn't D.he has to give a speech 69.We learn from the second paragraph that________. A.we should also remain modest in America B.modesty doesn't help you much in America C.Americans also like modest people
D.modesty can help you get through an American graduate program 70.The passage is mainly developed by________. A.providing examples B.making comparisons
C.giving different figures D.telling personal experiences
D
The world is filled with smart,talented,educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage,and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes,“Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’.” And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,and most workers “live_within_their_means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn. When I ask the class I teach,“ How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“ So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
71.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________.
10
A.he is just one of the talented people B.he is ready to help others C.he has a sharp sense of hearing D.he knows little about car repairing 72.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“________”. A.spend more than they can afford B.do in their own way C.live in their own circle D.live within what they earn 73.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author? A.They don't work hard enough. B.They lack financial intelligence.
C.They don't make full use of their talents. D.They have no specialized skills. 74.The success of McDonald's lies in its________. A.skills at making hamburgers B.good business systems C.talented workers D.excellent service
75.The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.
A.how young people can find a satisfactory job B.what schools should teach students C.why so many talented people are poor D.how McDonald's makes much money

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1]Some expressions describe people who are important,or who at least think they are.One such expression is bigwig.
[2]In the seventeenth century,important men in Europe began to wear false hair,called wigs.As years passed,wigs began to get bigger.The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was.The more important he was-or thought he was-________.Today,the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important.People never tell someone he is a bigwig.They only use the expression behind his back.
[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person.A big wheel may be the
11
head of a company,a political leader,a famous movie star.They are big wheels because they are powerful.What they do affects many people.Big wheels give the orders.Other people carry them out.As in many machines,a big wheel makes the little wheels turn.Big wheel became a popular expression after World War Ⅱ.It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks.They said a person rolled a big wheel if he was important and had influence.
[4]The top of something is the highest part.So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person.The expression is top banana.A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show.The funniest comedian is called the top banana.The next is second banana.And so on.Why a banana? A_comedy_act_in_earlier_days_often_included_a_part_where_one_of_the_comedians_would_hit_the_others_over_the_head_with_a_soft_object.The object was shaped like the yellow fruit: the banana.Top banana still is used mainly in show business.Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area. 76.What's the best title of the text? (no more than 7 words) _____________________________________________________________________ 77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 6 words) ______________________________________________________________________
78.How and when is “bigwig”used in a proper way nowadays? (no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________
79.Complete the following sentence with proper words from Paragraph 3.(no more than 3 words)
As a big wheel makes the little wheels turn in many machines,powerful people give orders for others to________.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese. ______________________________________________________________________ 第二节 写作(满分30分)
