　　In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.

　　Most children go to public elementary (初小) and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly (直接地) for their children's education because tax (税)money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private (私立) school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.

　　Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the governments. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive. However, almost half of the colleges students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family isn't rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils.

 Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy.

    Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.

    Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.

“China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.

“A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.”

    Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language.

    In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”

The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. how to face up to new challenges in the 21st century

B. the realities of the 21st century

C. the fastest growing economy in the world

D. about a school which will make all its pupils learn Chinese

The college makes its students learn Chinese mainly because ________.

A. Chinese is a language spoken by the largest population in the world

B. it realizes the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy

C. Chinese is the easiest language for the students

D. there are many native Chinese students at the college

What is Mr Cairns’ attitude towards the development of China?

A. He sees it to be a threat.                  B. He thinks of it as a danger.

C. He considers it to be an opportunity.        D. He regards it as an encouragement.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The Chinese students at the college have already helped their fellow students

to learn Chinese.

B. The school is the first in England to make Chinese a compulsory subject.

C. Mr Cairns has just been made head of this high-achieving college.

D. In Mr Cairns’ opinion, learning Chinese will be a great help to his students.



Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant（科技巨头） introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform. They are digital books in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography.
Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction with（连接）major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.
Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.
Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $ 8.7 billion in the US alone last year. And the rest, as they say, is history. Will Apple revolutionize learning? Will digital books take over completely in education? That remains to be seen.
【小题1】What is the best title of the text?

These days, young children can enjoy directly what it is like to be a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) at a marine association. What they discover can lead them to appreciate and protect the ocean and also the animals living in it.
At the present time, learning isn’t only limited to the classroom. It’s quite common for kids to learn from outdoor experiences. Teachers commonly take their pupils on field trips to museums as well as other interesting areas. If you wish to help pupils to take care of the ocean, one of the best areas to take them to is a marine association, the place where the ocean biome (生物圈) is shown.
Taking your pupils to a marine association is a prefect way to help them learn. Education professionals agree that there are topics that children can learn more successfully whenever they experience them directly.
Several organizations that focused on protecting the ocean now operate on the coast of different areas in America and all around the world. It’s quite common for marine associations nowadays to open their doors several times a week to kids, parents, and ocean lovers to learn more about the ocean biome.
A marine association has different programs for children of different ages. You’ll find programs that are developed specially for pupils. Pupils are involved in interactive (互动的) learning. This learning experience allows young children to recognize the value of the role each species performs in their environment. They not only get to research creatures from the ocean, but they also get to see, touch, and smell most of these animals and plants. This type of exposure offers students an idea about the life of a marine scientist. It could help them choose a career afterwards.
These programs are generally held on Saturdays and Sundays in order that kids and parents can have more hours in which to have fun. Teachers who want to arrange these activities for their students can call a local marine association near them.

Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.

That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?

We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it`s got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.

Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.

A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been lonely, "the reporter said.

The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (?????)when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

67. Now in an American family, people can find that___________.

A. children never live with their parents                            

B. not all working people live with their parents

C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren    

D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

68. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _______.

A. they had never seen a baby before                        B. the baby was clever and beautiful                   

C. the baby brought them the image of life              D. the baby's mother would take care of them           

69. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting ?

A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.                 

B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.

C . Because they have nothing to worry about.                                 

D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.

70. Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?

A. The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.

B. The old get excited when they see a baby.

C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.

D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
