Passage ThreeMore than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report to the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58% of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996—1997, against 7% for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 35% for other types of firearms."The report is a clear sign that our nation's public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.In March 1997, an 11-year old boy and a 13-year old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56%, were from high school, 34% were from junior high schools and 9% were from elementary schools, the report said.41. From the first paragraph we can infer that in the US schools______.A. students enjoy shootingB. safety is a problemC. students are eager to be solider.D. students can make guns.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _21_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 22 ?” Just when I started to 23 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 26 . Somebody had thought 27 of me to bring me a gift.Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 28 Christmas there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women’s visit.

We wanted all of them to know they were 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn’t open their presents 35 every child had come forward. Finally the 36 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room. The 38 in the room was obvious, and 39 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 40 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term,medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities,which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less,or two weeks,or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals,we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals bukld on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time,you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step,you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow adn succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow,your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.It is implied but not stated in the passage that （）.A、those who habe long-term goals will succeedB、writing down the dates may discourage youC、the goal is only a guide for us to reach our desinationD、every should have a goal

单选题Passage1Soon after starting his job as superintendent of the Memphis，Tenn.，public schools，Kriner Cash ordered an assessment of his new district's 104，000 students. The findings were depressing：nearly a third had been held back at least one academic year. The high school graduation rate had fallen to 67%.One in five dropped out. But what most concerned him was that the number of students considered highly mobile，meaning they had moved at least once during the school year，had ballooned to 34，000，partly because of the home-foreclosure crisis. At least 1，500 students were homeless-probably more.I had a whole array of students who were angry，depressed，not getting the rest they needed，Cash says. It led him to consider an unusual proposition: What if the best way to help kids in impoverished urban neighborhoods is to get them out？Cash is now calling for Memphis to create a residential school for 300 to 400 kids whose parents are in financial distress，with a live-in faculty rivaling those of elite New England prep schools. If Cash's dream becomes a reality，it will probably look a lot like SEED，a charter school in Southeast Washington，which stands for Schools for Educational Evolution and Development. Its 320 students-seventh-to 12th-graders-should live on campus five days a week. They are expected to adhere to a strict dress code and keep their room tidy. There are computers in the dorm's common areas, and each student in grades 10 and above is given a desktop computer. At 11:30 every night it's lights out.In his plan for Memphis, Cash wants even more time. Perhaps the most provocative aspect of his proposal is to focus on students in grades 3 through 5 for homelessness is growing sharply among kids at that critical age, when much of their educational foundation is set, Cash says. His aim: to prevent illiteracy and clear other learning roadblocks early, so the problem won't migrate into middle and high school. Students will remain on campus year-round. The school would cost up to S50,000 a day to operate-three times the cost of a traditional day school with more than twice as many students.It sounds very exciting, but the devil is in the details. says Ellen Bassuk, president of the National Center on Family Homelessness in Newton, Mass.What is Kriner Cash worried about most after knowing the result of the assessment?AThe falling rate of high school graduation.BMiddle school student's dropping out at a very high speed every year.CStudents being held back an academic year.DThe growing number of students moving frequently during the school year.
问答题There is one passage in this section with 5 statements. Read the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. [1] For some people it is extreme education: 10-hour days, contracts with parents and very strict rules on behaviour in small, 200-pupil academies. The result in a new type of school in the US is 100% acceptance to college, test results as good as those in private schools, and teenagers from New York’s South Bronx district who play the viola like their neighbours in Manhattan. [2] James Verrilh, principal of the North Star Academy in Newark, America’s second poorest city, said: “These kids know drugs. These kids know crime and violence. Their fathers are in jail. We have a school culture here which is very different from the attitude they have when they first walk through the door. It’s a culture that tells them they can go to college.” [3] At the North Star Academy children like Charism and Queen-Ama smile politely as they shake your hand and welcome you in. About 85% of pupils are African-American and 90% get free school meals. Last year 80% got ‘proficient or advanced’ grades in maths, compared with just 28% in the local neighbourhood school. This was above the state average. Pupils work in silence with a professionalism they have learned during a three-day process. From the beginning pupils are taught to speak clearly, answer questions in full sentences and look the teacher in the eye. [4] Parents have to sign a three-way contract with their child and the principal, and must promise to participate themselves. When a child’s homework isn’t handed in by 8 am, there is a phone call home. When the parent doesn’t turn up for a meeting, their child is not allowed back into school until they turn up. There are signs saying ‘No excuses’ on the walls.‘I was working until 11 last night. I’m tired, but I know I’ve got to work,’ says one 11-year-old, as she finishes up her homework over breakfast. ‘Even my mother’s gone back to school since I’ve been here.’ Pupils are tested every six weeks and their results are examined carefully. [5] ‘As a principal of a small school, I know how every child is progressing and how they are behaving,’ says Mr. Verrilh. He also sits in on classes himself, observing the students and writing notes for the teachers. [6] North Star and other small schools like it have developed from the charter school movement in the US. The 3,500 charter schools are independent schools, funded by the state, and allowed more freedom to set policies, including their admissions procedures. North Star runs a lottery for admissions and has 1,800 children on the waiting list. Parents have to put their child’s name into the lottery; three times more girls apply than boys. [7] Mr. Verrilli strongly rejects the idea that his students might not be the ones most in need. ‘It’s quite wrong to say that parents from disadvantaged backgrounds don’t care about their kids’ education. Ninety five percent of parents just want a better education for their children. We’re not taking the best kids. I’m defensive about that. It’s something a lot of people say. How hard is it to put your child’s name down on a piece of paper?’ he said. [8] Every child who attends the Kipp (Knowledge is Power Programme) academy in south Bronx, New York, plays in its orchestra, the best school orchestra in New York. Every child can read music. Shirley Lee, a director of the Kipp academy in the Bronx, says the school works because there is a consistent structure throughout the school. ‘The truth and reality is that kids like structure,’ she said. ‘It’s about telling them what’s appropriate and them learning when to use it. I wouldn’t talk to you like I am now if I was out in some of these areas. But if we teach them to look in my eyes when I’m speaking to them, they will use that if they get stopped by the police and that will protect them.’ [9] In the UK, there is a growing political debate about the differences in academic achievement between rich and poor in schools in big cities. A recent report highlighted the growing gap in achievement and the government is trying to deal with this problem. Three London academies are experimenting with small school principles and last week a group of British teachers in training visited the US looking for methods they could use to deal with the problems of ‘complex urban education’. [10] Ark, a UK educational charity, is taking key components of the small school model into London academies. Lucy Heller, managing director of Ark, says: ‘It’s small schools, strict rules on behaviour and a firm belief that inner city children can be just as successful.’ The UK schools minister says small schools can teach disadvantaged children the skills that middle class children take for granted: ‘High ambition, zero tolerance of failure, an expectation that children will go to university and that schools will give them the education to go to university.’ [11] Ark is also helping to fund the 30 ‘Future Leaders’ group on the school leadership training scheme visiting the US. The trainees are expected to take some of the ideas they experience in the US back home to the UK. Many of them think it will be difficult to transfer the model to the UK, however. They talk about the fact that most of the US schools are middle schools, for 10 - 14 year-olds. The model has been tested less in the secondary school age group (11 - 18). They also ask where the money to fund smaller schools will come from, though others point out the fact that in the US facilities are basic. ‘They don’t even have interactive whiteboards,’ says one of the group’s mentors. ‘They just teach. Small schools might not be practical in the UK, but what I really want these new school leaders to take back is the sense of culture in these schools.’ QUESTIONS 1 - 5: For answers 1 - 5, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1．Newark is the poorest city in the US. 2．Pupils at the North Star Academy are better at maths than kids in the local neighborhood school. 3．If a pupil doesn’t hand in their homework by 8 am, the school calls their parents. 4．Mr. Verrilli graduated from Harvard University in 1989. 5．The UK is planning to start academies like the US schools.
