题目内容


Standard English is the formal(正式的) English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard—that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling.  Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced(取代) all written dialect forms – the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic(学术的) work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling — Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written English should be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.
Avoid slang words(俚语)—words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation(标点) you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative— that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.

Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程),but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant(不情愿的)students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.
【小题1】According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?

A.Lift weights B.Climb a rope C.CycleD.Have a balanced diet
【小题2】What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”?
A.Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E..
B.Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it.
C.Schools put P.E. in the first place.
D.Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P. E..
【小题3】Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A.More teenagers are overweight.
B.Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.
C.Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.
D.Phys ed programs need less money to support.
【小题4】How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A.TwoB.Three C.FourD.One
【小题5】What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?
A.The Phys ed teaches group sports.
B.The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.
C.The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.
D.The Phys ed has more support from the government.

What should you think about in trying to find your career(职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.  1 A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. 2 So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3 Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
4 If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. 5 Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

A.He may do well in his future work.
B.It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.
C.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
D.These may show strengths(优势) that you can use in your work.
E. Your school must have taught you the skills.
F. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.
G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.

B.Birth of Transport-related Industries and Trade

C.Role of Transport in Trade Development

D.Another Means to Develop Trade

E.Higher Living Standard

F.Modern Life Needs Modern Traffics

80.

Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade.When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale.

81.

The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes.Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.

82.

Transport also prevents waste.Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns.Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally.Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year.Transport has raised the standard of living.

83.

By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before.Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another.The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.

84.

Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information.Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send information about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way, advanced communication system also help to develop trade.
