American Dreams
There is a common response to America among foreign writers:the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche（陈词滥调）.
In the land of black and white,people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world.But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.______(46)No class system or government stands in the way.
Sadly,this old argument is no longer true.Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened.______(47)
Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent.For the top 1 per cent,however,it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6 .7 times that of the bottom fifth.______（48)
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions.In California,incomes for lower class fam-dies have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969.______(49)This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans.The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth.There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 per cent of the population,it is the highest percentage in the developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling,not growing.______(50)There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole.But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.

______(48)
A: Nobody is poor in the US.
B: Thetop0.01 per cent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.
C: For upper class families they have risen 41 per cent.
D: Nowitis9.8 times.
E: As it does so,the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smafler.
F: All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.

答案：D

解析：

根据空前后句意可知美国贫富差距很大，美国梦给了所有人希望，这种希望没有阶级和政府阻挠。由此可推测空处要表达的意思是“所有人都会努力奋斗，向上流社会攀爬”，故选F。

空前、空后句子都说的是美国贫富差距越来越大，可推知空处应该说的也是“gap", 故选E，确实是这样，跨越这条鸿沟的可能性变得越来越小。

此段主要是举例说明“gap”变得越来越大，说了过去25年的差距，肯定要说现在来进行比较，故选D。

此段主要说贫富不公的现象愈加严重，在加利福尼亚，穷人的收入从1969年至今下降了4%，再根据空后的“给那一小部分非常有钱的人带来巨大的经济优势”，可推测，空处所表达的意思是“富人的收入增长了”，故选C。

根据此段第一句和最后一句可推测，空处应是对美国有钱人赋税降低的举例，故选B。

第5题：

资料：Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
“Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
Underpinning the improvements in the human development index（HDI） was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.

“More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone” illustrates ______.

A.the economic development of China is important
B.the role of some developing countries is significant for poverty reduction
C.14 countries are developing faster than China
D.it is crucial to make a clear goal first

答案：B

【关键词】More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone
【主题句】第4自然段Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. 自2000年以来，有14个国家的人类发展指数出现了每年逾2%的增长，其中包括阿富汗、塞拉利昂、埃塞俄比亚、卢旺达和安哥拉。报告发现，这在一定程度上导致极端收入贫困比例从1990年的43%降至2008年的仅有22%，其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫。
【解析】本题的问题是“‘其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫’阐明了______”。A选项“中国的经济发展十分重要”，B选项“在扶贫工作中，一些发展中国家角色举足轻重”，C选项“14个国家比中国发展更迅速”，D选项“首先树立清晰目标至关重要”。根据主题句和第3自然段可知，发展中国家经济发展对消除世界贫困人口意义十分重大，因此，选项B正确。选项A过于片面，选项C文中没有将14个国家和中国经济发展进行比较，选项D属于主观臆断。

Home Heating

Central heating became popular only after the Civil War.Typically,coal-burning
furnaces（火炉）fueled the early systems.Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel
by 1960.Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses.Because it comes primarily
from U.S.and Canadian fields , natural gas is also less vulnerable（脆弱的）than oil is to
war.Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas,such as New England.
Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity,including
the South and the Northwest.It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of
adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning.Bottled gas,which is
somewhat more expensive than utility gas,is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by
utility pipelines.Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.
Home heating,which accounts for less than 7 per cent of all energy consumed in the
U.S.,has had a commendable（值得赞扬的）efficiency record : from 1 978 to 1 997 , the
amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 per cent despite a 33 per cent
increase in the number of housing units and an increase in house size.The
U.S.Department of Energy,however,forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise
by 14 per cent over the next two decades.That rise is small considering an expected 21 per
cent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.
Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next
two decades.Solar（太阳的）heating never became popular because of cost and limited
winter sunlight in most areas;in 2000 only 47,000 homes relied on it.

What fuel is the dominant fuel in New England?
A:Gas.
B:Electricity.
C:Wood.
D:Oil.

解析：
细节题，可在文中找到相关线索直接进行判断。选项A“美国学校不希望家长们了解其备灾计划”，文章前两段中并未直接表明学校希望与否，只是提到家长应当知晓学校的计划，而家长可能是由于缺乏沟通不清楚学校的计划，并非学校有意不让家长们了解，因此[A]项不正确；B“家长应当促使学校制定合理的备灾计划”，正好与第二段中“There should be an outcry from parents to push their schools …to develop a plan that makes sense,”相对应，因此是正确选项；C“美国学校在备灾方面工作做得太少”，文章第二段只是说“学校应当做更多计划应灾”，并无指责其太少之意，因此可排除此选项；D“大部分美国家长都不知道其学校的备灾计划”，文中只提到根据调查45％的家长表示不知道他们孩子的撤离地点，并不代表大多数，因此也可以排除。

答案：D

解析：

该空格前提到“the American Dream offers a way out to everyone"，后一句则说没有什么会阻碍个人的成功，根据上下文，应该选F。
该段提到美国贫富家庭的差距在拉大，因此，跨越这个鸿沟的可能性越来越小。
前一句提到占比1/5的高收入美国人的平均收入是占比1/5的底层人收入的6.7倍，接下来则说现在增加到了9.8倍。
该段说自1969年以来，较低阶层家庭的收入下降了4%，从上下文判断，应该谈到上层家庭收入的变化，所以选C。
这段开头说到美国富人的税收不但没有增加，反而下降了，下面预期应该是具体下降的幅度，所以B是正确选项。

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。

问答题

Public Schools　　However good the state schools may be, it is still true that if an English parent has enough money to pay the fees to send his children to an independent school he will most probably do so.　　In independent schools boys and girls above the age of eight are usually educated separately. The terms “primary” and “secondary” are not usually applied to independent schools at the different levels because the age of transfer from a lower to a higher school is normally thirteen or fourteen instead of eleven. The principal schools for boys of over thirteen are called “public schools” and those for younger boys are usually called “preparatory” (or colloquially “prep”) schools.　　For girls there are some preparatory schools and public schools which are female imitations of the boys’ institutions.　　A typical “preparatory school’“—or private primary school—is very small, with between fifty and a hundred boys, either all boarders or all dayboys, or some of each. Many of these schools are in adapted houses in the country or in small towns, houses built in the nineteenth century and too big to be inhabited by families in the conditions of the modern world. If there are fifty boys, aged between eight-plus and thirteen-plus, they will probably be taught in five or six grades (or “forms”); the headmaster will himself work as an ordinary teacher, and he will have four or five assistants working for him. The preparatory schools prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination and for public school life. The, schools in the state system do not prepare boys for the public schools’ common entrance examination, so a boy who tried to change from the states system to the independent school system at the age of thirteen would find difficulty in entering a public school at all.　　With a few exceptions public schools are all boarding schools, providing residential accommodation for their pupils, though many of them take some day-boys also. Most are in the southern half of England. Some of them are several hundred years old, but many others, including some of the most prominent thirty, were founded during the past 140 years. Most public schools, particularly the most eminent ones, are called by the name of the town or village in which they are situated; some are called “College” and some are not. The four most famous of all are Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College and Rugby School.　　Public schools are inspected by the inspectors of the Department of Education, but otherwise they are quite independent. Each has a board of governors. They control the finances and appoint the headmaster, who in his turn appoints the other teachers. To send a boy to .a leading public school costs about 900 to 1,100 pounds a year, though some of the less prominent schools may cost as little as 600 pounds. All the schools award “scholarships” to some of their boys who do very good work in an examination on entering or during their first year, and the boys who win scholarships pay reduced fees or in a few cases no fees at all.

正确答案：【参考译文】
英国的公学在英国,无论国立学校有多好,只要家长有足够的钱支付学费,他们就极有可能送孩子上私立学校。
在私立学校,8岁以上孩子的教育是分开进行的。私立学校通常不存在“小学”和“中学”的层次划分。在私立学校,学生由低年级转入高年级的年龄一般是13岁或14岁而不是11岁。13岁以上的男孩就读的学校称作“公学”,而较小年级的男孩则就读于“预备”学校。
对于女孩子而言,她们也可以就读一些预备学校和公学,这些学校与男孩子就读的学校体制大同小异。
典型的“预备学校”或“私立学校”规模都很小,只收取50到100名男生,有的学校只招收寄宿生,有的只招收走读生,也有的学校两者兼有。这类学校大多位于乡村或小城镇中改建过的房子里。这些房子多建于19世纪,因过于宽大而不宜现代家庭居住,所以被改为校舍。如果学校有50名8岁多到13岁多的男生,那么他们很可能会被分成五到六个年级。校长自己以一名普通教师的身份参与教学,有4到5位老师协助其工作。预备学校的职责在于为学生们参加公学的统一入学考试以及公学的学习生活做准备。但是,国立学校的教学并不以公学的统一考试为目的,所以,如果一名13岁的男孩试图从国立学校转入私立学校,那么公学的入学考试对他来说有一定的困难。
除了少数特例外,英国的公学全都是寄宿学校,它们为学生提供住宿,也有一些公学招收走读生。大部分公学位于英格兰南半部,有些公学已经有几百年历史。不过有相当一部分公学(包括30所最出名的学校)是在过去的140年里建起来的。另外,大部分公学(尤其是最著名的学校)是根据它们所处的城镇或村庄而命名的,有的被称为“公学”,有的则另有其名。英国最负盛名的四所公学是伊顿公学、哈罗公学、温切斯特公学和拉格比公学。
除了接受教育部的督察之外,公学享有相当的独立自主权。每所学校都有一个管理董事会,他们控制财务,任命校长,再由校长来任命教师。在英国,送一个男孩到一所一流的公学读书,每年需花费约900到1100英镑,相比之下,到一所名气平平的学校读书每年只需花费600英镑。所有的公学都为在入学考试或第一年学习中取得好成绩的学生提供奖学金,获得奖学金的学生可以减少学费,或者在少数情况下可以免交学费。

细节题。录音最后提到教育部门为吉普赛小孩成立特殊学校让他们接受教育，故选A。
【录音原文】
　　Around the year 1000A.D., some people from Northwest India began to travel westwards. Nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again but spent their lives moving from one place to another. Their later generations are called the Romany people or Gypsies. There are Gypsies all over the world. And many of them are still traveling with no fixed homes. There are about 8 million of them, including 3 million in Eastern Europe. Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel, because they are different. People may be afraid of them, look down on them or think that they are criminals. The Nazis treated the Gypsies cruelly, like the Jews. And nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler’s death camps. Gypsies have their own language, Romany. They like music and dancing, and they often work in fairs and traveling shows. Travelling is very important to them and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult for Gypsies children to go to school. And Gypsies are often unable to read and write. In some places, the education authorities try to arrange special travelling schools for Gypsy children so that they can get the same education as other children.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. Why did the ancestors of Gypsies leave their home?
2. What is the attitude of some people towards Gypsies?
3. What measure has been taken to help Gypsy children?
