第1题：
C Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedrooms TVs.
A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2½ hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.
第64题：
According to the California study, the low-scoring group might____________.
A. have watched a lot of TV
B. not be interested in math
C. be unable to go to college
D. have had computers in their bedrooms
正确答案：A

Passage Four
Students all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States is
expensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children's education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology lab fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tic, kets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.
Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor, they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that it is difficult. Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, however, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the costs of their education. Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.
48. Tuition for attending the university in the United States is ______.
A. inexpensive
B. high
C. free from charge
D. costless
正确答案：B

第3题：
Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Ministry of Education will take away a school's grant if__.A.they do not reach their objectives
B.they do not contact parents
C.children escape from school
D.they meet their targets答案：A解析：第三段。英国教育部设置了一种奖励制度，如果学校能将一定数目的应该念书的孩子劝回学校，该校就可获得一定的奖励。 -

Rising Tuition in the US
Every spring,US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year's budget. They consider faculty salaries,utility costs for dormitories,new building needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude一it seems,inevitably一that,yet again,the cost of tuition must go up.
According to the US's College Board,the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between 1993 and 2004.________(46)In 2005 and 2006,the numbers continued to rise.
According to university officials,college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks."Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year."said the university's president,Dr Bill Brown."Student tuition pays for 78 percent of
the university's operating costs." Brown's school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report's and The Princeton Review's.________(47)
Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the
school's board of trustees (董事）.________(48)This board oversees（监管）all of a state's public
institutions.
John Durham,assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University(ECU), explains that state Law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever
possible to the people of the state for free.Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education.________(49)State residents attending ECU pay about US $10,000 for tuition,room and board before financial aid.
Amid the news about continued increases in college costs,however,there is some good news. Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university.To receive financial aid,US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible（有资格的）for grants or loans.________(50)__________（50）
A:The application is then sent to the student's university,where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much.
B:At public universities,however,tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee,sometimes called the board of governors.
C:The school currently charges US $23,410 a year for tuition.
D:Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food.
E:That's more than double the rate of inflation.
F: The state government covers the rest.答案：A解析：本题上一句是“据美国高校董事会统计，一个四年制私立高校学习的费用在1993年和2004年间上涨了81%。”下一句是“这个数字在2005年和2006年不断增长”，用数字比较说明学费一直在增长，而选项中只有选项E是数字比较的内容，因此选E。
上一句是“Brown的学校是一个招有3 100多名本科生的私立大学，一直被诸如《美国新闻》、《世界报道》和《普林斯顿观察》的年度高校排名指南所承认”，是对学校的介绍，而选项中只有C提到了一所学校的收费情况，因此判断是选C。
本段主要说明各类学校学费上涨获得许可的过程。上一句是“私立大学的学费由行政人员确定，然后送交学校监管董事批准”，而选项中只有B介绍了公立学校学费上涨的情况，因此选B。
本段介绍了ECU大学学生的学费情况，上一句是“Durham指出北卡罗来纳州的居民只需付出受教育成本的22%”，而只有选项F“州政府承担其余的费用”与上一句街接紧密，因此选F。
本段介绍了高校怎样对学生予以经济资助。上一句是“为获取经济资助，美国学生向联邦政府递交一个正式申请，联邦政府会决定是否有资格取得资助或货款”，下面说明接下来的程序，因此选项A正确。 -

The Home-schooling
Sometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.
In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.
In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.
Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,
so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The education experts want to know_______.
A:in what way home-schooling can be regulated
B:whether children should get some public services
C:whether the family-school should be banned
D:whether it is appropriate for children to study at home答案：A解析：从第一段第二句可以看出美国的教育家们“are wondering...how this growing practice...should be regulated"，即不知道如何对家庭学校进行规范，所以选A。
从第二段得知一半的家长“decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously"，还有额外的四分之一的家长“have some doubts about public education"，还有家长利用家庭教学作为借口来“escape compulsory education"，唯独没有提到C，即送孩子上学是不安全的，所以选C。
第二段第六句“Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home"，即美国大多数的州对这种教育方式都监管不力，几乎不监督或质疑那些家长，因此选B。

Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
Part of the problem is__.A.that people feel very emotional
B.that parents worry their children at school
C.that these children think education is a waste of time
D.that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets答案：C解析：第二段。最后一句中的positive experience意为“有用的知识”。全句大意是“对孩子来说，如果在学校学到的知识对他们有用，他们将愿意在学校学下去”，而不是去浪费时间。 -

The Home-schooling
Sometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.
In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.
In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.
Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,
so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The following statements are the reasons for family-schooling EXCEPT_______.
A:some parents have religious consideration
B:some parents are doubtful about public education
C:some parents feel unsafe to send their children to go to regular school
D:some parents want to escape the compulsory education答案：C解析：从第一段第二句可以看出美国的教育家们“are wondering...how this growing practice...should be regulated"，即不知道如何对家庭学校进行规范，所以选A。
从第二段得知一半的家长“decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously"，还有额外的四分之一的家长“have some doubts about public education"，还有家长利用家庭教学作为借口来“escape compulsory education"，唯独没有提到C，即送孩子上学是不安全的，所以选C。
第二段第六句“Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home"，即美国大多数的州对这种教育方式都监管不力，几乎不监督或质疑那些家长，因此选B。
见第二段最后一句。
文章第三段的第二句提到瑞恩太太在家教孩子是为了“give her children more training in basic curriculum"，即给他们更多基础课程的训练，所以选项C符合。 -

问答题Practice 2 Private school does not mean better. But it does mean expensive. Public schools in the US are paid for by money from everyone; private schools are not. Parents who send their children to private schools must pay to do so. Parents may have enough money to pay for private schools. But these schools do not have to accept their children. Most private schools accept only children who are already doing well in school and are able to work quietly, Some take only boys or only girls. Classes are often quieter and less crowded than classes in public schools. This gives children a chance to learn more of what their teachers are trying to teach them. Public schools do not teach religion. So some parents choose private religious schools for their children. These schools each belong to a church. 6 They give lessons about that religion. They give lessons in all the usual school subjects as well. Children at many private schools wear special school uniforms, all exactly the same. At public schools, students wear what they want. They often dress in bright colors and tennis shoes. They sometimes invent new and wonderful fashions.正确答案： 【参考译文】
私立学校并不一定比公立学校好,但上私立学校肯定比上公立学校贵。公立学校的办学经费用的是每一个公民纳税的钱,而私立学校却不是这样。家长如果想把自己的孩子送到私立学校去念书,他们就得自己付钱。
即使家长有钱付学费,私立学校也不一定非得把孩子收下来。大部分的私立学校一般都只收学习成绩较好而又遵守纪律的学生。有的私立学校只收男生,而有的私立学校又只收女生。与公立学校相比,私立学校每个班的人数要少些,学生也能遵守课堂纪律。这样,学生在学校里就能学到更多的知识。
公立学校不设宗教课程。所以,有些家长就把自己的孩子送到私立的教会学校去上学。这类教会学校一般都属于某个教派,在学校里,他们就给学生上自己教派的宗教课程。当然,其他学校教的所有的课程,教会学校也都得教。
许多私立学校的学生都得穿式样统一的校服。在公立学校,学生爱穿什么就可穿什么。他们往往穿着艳丽的衣服和网球鞋;有时,学生们也会搞些新花样,很快就成为流行的时装。解析： 暂无解析 -

单选题The writer leads us to conclude that if he had been encouraged to speak Spanish in school, he might.Ahave known what to do before the game.
Bhave offered tacos to the Churchill team.
Cnot have felt so inferior to the whites.

正确答案： A解析：
作者在第四段提到自己上小学的时候不被允许说西班牙语，到后来上高中的时候虽被允许了，但他们一说西班牙语就感到羞耻，觉得自己的语言和文化很低下。可以推断出作者认为要是自己上学的时候被允许说西班牙语，他自己就不会感到那么低人一等了。 -
