Many people go to school for an education. Some learn languages, history, math and other subjects. Others go to school to learn a skill. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher can not teach his students everything they want to know. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

解析试题分析:
很多人去学校接受教育。学习语言、 历史、 数学和其他科目。其他的去学校学习一种技能。学校教育非常重要和有用。然而,没有人可以从学校学会一切。老师不能教会学生们想要知道的一切。因此,更多是在校外由学生自己学。伟人的老师只告诉他们方法。如爱迪生甚至都没有完成学业。但他们成功了,是因为他们知道如何学习。他们读学校没有教的书,同时会问很多问题。他们努力工作他们,知道如何用脑。
【小题1】根据第一段可知,许多人去学校是接受教育,还有的是学习一项技能。所以选B(句子陈述错误)。
【小题2】根据no one can learn everything from school. 可知,人们不可能在学校什么都学。所以选B(句子陈述错误)。
【小题3】根据much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.可知,学生们可以在课外自学很多知识。所以选A(句子陈述内容正确。)
【小题4】根据they were all so successful because they knew how to study.可知,人们成功是因为他们知道如何学习,而不是读了很多学校里教的书。所以选B(句子陈述错误)。
【小题5】根据最后一段可知,伟人知道如何读书、如何用脑。所以选A(句子陈述内容正确。)

Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You only need to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go.
But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the loneliest street to the most popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.
A London taxi driver said the following about his job.
During the night it is usual for him to stop two or three times for some food. He said," I never drink when I am driving, or I would lose my license."
He normally goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make money, no one is gong to give it to you."
London taxi drivers not only "take" but also "give". Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea-by taxi. Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers. At the sea, they are met by the mayor(市长),and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day's running around the beaches and visiting the market there, the children go home again by taxi, free of charge of course.

Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.
【小题1】Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.
A.will work hard | B.will become heroes |
C.will follow her | D.will achieve her goal |

D.heroes have to do some great things |
A.What Heroes Do | B.Who Are Heroes |
C.How Heroes Live | D.Where Heroes are |
Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work. Instead, you want to stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother won’t let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren’t found only in water . They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger and some of the dust ( 灰尘 ) from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red , and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.
【小题1】Which of the following is true?
A.If things are very very small , they are germs. |

A.Germs can be found both in water and in the air. |
B.Germs can go into your finger if it is cut. |
C.If your temperature ( 体温 ) is not OK, there must be germs in your body. |
D.If your finger isn’t cut, there aren’t any germs on it. |

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is way.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistake is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this : Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learnt 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited(有限的) .
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
【小题1】 If you are making a mistake, that means_______ .
A.you are careful. | B.you’re kind. |
C.you ‘re growing. | D.you know nothing. |
A.improve | B.create | C.spend | D.A and B |
A.gave up | B.invented the light bulb. |
C.invented the computer. | D.invented 10,000 new things. |
A.time | B.money | C.success | D.everything |
A.Never make mistakes. |
B.You can make mistakes without thinking. |
C.Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes. |
D.Making mistakes is terrible. |
“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”
Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学).
Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection(检查), the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.
Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.
The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.
James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”
【小题1】What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?
A.Truants are fallen behind in their studies. |
B.Truants have no interest in school subjects. |
C.Truants have more interesting things to do. |
D.Truants are not satisfied with the teachers. |
A.experiencing a problem with | B.having a strict attitude towards |
C.finding it difficult to solve | D.having little success with |
A.school education is not efficient and needs improvement |
B.it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm |
C.school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern |
D.even good students may sometimes need a break from school |
A.Schools should solve the problem of teachers. |
B.Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants. |
C.Schools should have a better control of hidden truants. |
D.Schools should find out who truant and how they it. |
Here is an interview with a painter. Read and choose the best.
Reporter:Mr Shum, you were one of Taiwan’s most outstanding youths last year. Why was that?
Mr Shum:Well, I can tell you that there are two reasons.First, I am a painter. Second, and more important reason is I am handicapped﹙残疾的﹚。I have no arms and only one leg.
Reporter:Well, how do you paint then if you’ve got no arms? Do you use your foot?
Mr Shum:Hah! For some handicapped people, it’s true and they are able to use their feet.No,I use my mouth. I put my paintbrush or my crayons or pencils or whatever I am using in my mouth. I hold it firmly in my teeth and paint or draw like that. It was a little strange for me at first, but it quickly became very easy.
Reporter:I know you feel that you are first a painter and only secondly that you are a disablbed person, but can we talk first about your handicap?
Mr Shum:Well,in fact I think of myself firstly as a person, secondly as a painter and thirdly as someone with a physical handicap. Can I say that I am not happy with the word “handicapped”?
I am a popular painter because my paintings are good, not because they were painted by a handicapped person. “handicapped”means you can’t do anything. It is difficult for me to do some things like getting dressed.
Reporter: Were you born with your handicap?
Mr Shum:No. An accident happened to me when I was 15 years old.After that I became depressed﹙沮丧﹚and even tried to end my life, but my mother was always there for me.
