1.Schools in the U.S. generally do not have a specific teaching plan for teachers to follow, and they certainly don’t have a set of textbooks that are taught by all school districts throughout the country. That’s why textbooks vary greatly from school to school, and from teacher to teacher even though they are all teaching the same subject in the same grade. Some schools provide books to use, but teachers do not strictly follow them. They only use them as a reference, and enjoy pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books. They often share their own points of view with their students. Teaching like this has many advantages. Teachers can bring out their expertise, fully elaborating their most familiar areas. Students are more interested in what they are studying. Also this flexible teaching style. benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to apply them. On the other hand teaching like this also has many drawbacks. It causes uneven study levels. It is even more so among different schools and districts. Students in the same grade do not usually have a thorough understanding of a subject taught in the same school year. The teacher for the following year would have to spend a lot of time finding out what the students already know or do not know in the subject before starting his/her own teaching plan. Some parts may be repeated, resulting in waste of time; and other parts may not be covered at all.Exams in American schools are much less rigid than those in China. Teaching is flexible, so are exams. Even if you memorized the whole textbook, it might not be of much help in the exams. My Chinese friend envied me for nothaving to worry about the competition for attending the best schools by takingendless exams.(1) What are advantages of the flexible teaching style?A、It benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills.B、Teachers can bring out their expertise.C、Students may have freedom in study.D、Both A and B.(2) The flexible teaching style. ______.A、may cause troubles to the teacher for the following year.B、usually helps students to have a thorough understanding of a subjectC、makes the exam easy.D、may save teachers’time(3) The word drawbacks (paragraph 2) means______.A、mistakesB、difficultiesC、disadvantagesD、troubles(4) From the passage we are told American teachers______.A、have to follow a specific teaching plan.B、dislike pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books.C、teaching the same subject may use different textbooks.D、strictly follow books provided by schools.(5) This article is mainly about ______.A、the advantages and disadvantages of the flexible teaching styleB、American schoolsC、American teachersD、teaching methods in American schools

    问答题
    Although more and more students are enrolled in university every year, there are also more and more students who fail in their studies and drop out of school. This has caused much concern in the society, and a local newspaper is inviting contributions from university students to discuss the reasons. Write a composition as a contribution to this newspaper to voice your opinion. Remember to supply a title for your own article.  In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement, with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a toss of marks.

    正确答案:
    Why Students Fail in Universities Traditionally Chinese believed that university education was the guarantee of a happy life, so every fall we can find many freshmen happily and hopefully enter the campus. But what is unknown is that many students fail in their tests and have to take make-up exams or even drop out. To solve the problem, we have to find the reasons. In my opinion, there are mainly three reasons to account for this tragedy.
    Most students' failures can be attributed to their poor study ability due to problems in high school. High school should prepare students for university education, but currently it is doing everything but that. High school education is known to be test oriented, for students are engaged in memorizing texts and working at sample test papers. Because of this, students admitted to university come to school only with mechanical study habits, which cannot help students cope with university study. For example, many students in my class may be good in courses that rely on memory, but in courses that require personal judgment or group activity, they will invariably fail.
    Even with good study ability, some students may still fail because of the negative influence from their families. The first kind of such influence is lack of money. Now most universities collect quite high tuition from students, so students from poor families are constantly worried by money problem. Another influence is family misfortune, the most common examples of which are illness and accident. If students are troubled by family problem, they won't be able to focus their mind on study, and naturally they will not survive in university.
    There are also a small number of students who fail because of personal weakness. Some students have trouble in sustaining positive relationship with their classmates, and bad relation prevents them from enjoying university study. Some other students cannot resist various temptations in their life, such as movies, TV programs, computer games, and campus romance, and these may also prevent them from studying well.
    From what are said above, we can conclude that different students fail for different reasons. Some fail because they lack proper study methods, some fail because they are distracted by family issues, and still some other students fail because they suffer from shortcomings in their personality. Therefore if we want to prevent academic failures, we should first identify the reasons why they are experiencing trouble in their study, and then help them in the most effective way. It can be hoped that we will all pull through the four years in university and make our dreams and happiness come true.
    解析:
    本题要回答的问题是why do some university students drop out of school,属于因果关系题。例文先后列举了三个原因:不良的学习方法、家庭问题以及个人问题。关于每一种原因作者都做了一定阐述,除了逻辑推理外,还用了很多的例子。例文引言段采用了对比的方式开始,作者先说大学新生入学的欣喜,然后引出学生的失败。Thesis statement中的表达非常明确清晰。在正文段中,作者按照涉及学生数量多少为顺序列出三个原因,确保了内容的通顺。在结论段中,作者使用了两句话充分总结了自己的观点,然后用提出解决方法的方式写出了最终评论。

    Directions:Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. What bad influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 160 words.

    正确答案:
    Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. It's high time to prevent them from indulging in those games.
    Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. To begin with, to play computer games excessively can damage the players' physical health, especially their eyes. In addition, those students who are addicted to computer games tend to neglect their studies, idle away their time and even commit crimes.
    From what has been discussed above, I think it is imperative that some effective measures be taken to solve the problem. To begin with, the computer access for students should be controlled and the time students spend on computer games should be limited. Then, the quality of computer software and games for young students should be examined in case they are adversely influenced by inappropriate programs that involve violence and sex content. Finally, the law and the regulation should be made to protect students from being corrupted and misled by computer games. Meanwhile, parents and teachers should take responsibility for educating the students to realize the harmful effects of computer games.

    The Difference between Man and Computer
    What makes people different from computer programs?What is the missing element that our theories don't yet1for?The answer is simple:People read newspaper stories for a reason:to learn more about2they are interested in. Computers,on the other hand, don't. In fact,computers don,t3have interests;there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer4is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a“purpose”.
    of course,people have several goals that do not make5to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide6order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals,or to 7a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry,and computers do not have business lunches.
    However,these physiological and social goals give8to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find9about the name of a restaurant which10the desired type of food,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant,etc. These are goals to11information or knowledge,what we are call-ing12goals.

    12._________
    A: understanding
    B: learning
    C: knowledge
    D: awareness

    答案:B
    解析:
    此处考查对固定搭配的掌握情况,只有account能与for搭配,意为“解释”, 其他三个选项的词都是及物动词,不与介词搭配。所以答案为C。
    分析全句,此处应填一个宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少宾语,故应填 what,此句意为“去了解他们所感兴趣的东西”,其他三个选项均为关系副词,不能充当从句中的宾语。所以答案为C。
    此处选B项even加强语气,意为“事实上,电脑甚至都没有兴趣”。
    computer program是常见搭配,意为“电脑程序”,其他选项与句意不符,故排除。所以答案为A。
    make sense是固定搭配,意为“有道理,合理,能被理解”。整句意为“当然人也有目标,但这些目标若被归在电脑身上便不合逻辑了”。所以答案为B。
    in order to是固定搭配,表示目的,意为“为了……”,故选C。
    结合上下文语义我们得知,此处应填具有“寻找”含义的词,watch没有此含义,首先被排除,C选项后若加上for,便符合文意,search有“搜寻,查找”的含义,但一般指深入彻底地调查,只有A项find在含义和语气上都符合句意。
    从下一句便可找到答案为C项,give rise to意为“引起,导致,使发生”。
    此处句意为“找到关于餐馆名字的信息”,其他选项放此处均不合适,故选D。
    此处需填一个谓语动词,因此要弄清主语“餐馆”与宾语“食物”之间的关系,只有“餐馆供应食物”合乎逻辑,故答案为D项serves。
    上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为饿所以需要获取有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填“获取”,B,C,D与文意不符。所以答案为A。
    此空依然承接上文的意思,那些目标都是获取信息的目标,都是学习的目标,答案为B项。
    此处缺一个情态动词,阅读到后半句时便很容易选出答案,此处的might 与后面as a person might相呼应,表示不确定的推测,意为“可能,也许”。所以答案为B。
    能与way搭配的介词一般只有in,表示“以……方式”,此处的含义为“与一个人可能想要做事的方式相同”。所以答案为D。
    arise out of是固定搭配,意为“起于……”,即使不知道短语的含义,看到后面又出现一次 arise out of,也应可以选出答案为A。

    The average person spends 20 years in retirement.
    Here are some tips to help you plan correctly:
    1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it's a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It's just like a doctor's visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.
    2. Save, save, and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can.
    3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner, or find an online retirement calculator.
    4. Take part in your employer's retirement plans. If your company offers one, it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options.
    5. Learn about pension plans. If you have an employer or government pension plan, learn all the details.
    6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don't make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals.
    7. Get your employer to start one, and it can help you tremendously.
    8. Learn about your government's retirement plans. Every country has different plans, some with special tax incentives, so learn what your country offers and plan accordingly.
    9. Do your own research. Use the Internet, read the newspapers and magazines, talk to your friends, to find out as much as you can about retirement.

    Recently, the fact that more and more students are spending too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. What influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 120 words.

    正确答案:
    Nowadays, most of the boy students are crazy about playing computer games. The parents and teachers are very concerned with this situation. Then what influences does the computer game have on the players and what should we do with it?
    The computer games can give the players intellectual confidence and enhance their learning on a certain degree. However, their disadvantages are more prevailing. Most of the video games are of violent theme, which may desensitize the players to violence and alter their perception of reality. That may also give them the false idea that violence is an acceptable way to deal with problems and conflict. Meanwhile, spending too much time on video games would certainly affect their study. Concerning this, we should control children’s time spent on playing computer games and encourage them to do some other activities, such as doing sports, reading and travelling.
