第2题：
Text 2 Disruptive students are a headache for public schools.They distract from lessons,skip class,and often bring down the graduation rates.That's why school districts across the country have resorted to opening altemative schools in recent decades,with hopes that smaller classes and individual attention might help these students get their diplomas.But even these alternative schools（which differ from charter schools in that they are still part of school districts and thus answer to supervisors）can be a burden:They're expensive to run,and their graduation rates are still pretty low.Desperate for help,many school districts are now hiring private companies to manage these altemative schools and educate their most troublesome students.Large,urban districts like Chicago and Philadelphia have been working with this emerging industry for several years now.Though research shows that problematic students in Philadelphia did better in alternative schools than traditional ones,there is a wide variance in school quality,and detailed information about their curricula is scarce.The question on the table is whether a business whose job it is to make money can better educate vulnerable students than a public system with no profit motive.It's not too different from the dynamic between the federal government and the private companies running its prisons across the country.But the Justice Department announced last week that it would stop contracting with the private sector,in part because it doesn't seem to save that much money,and in part because the service didn't improve either.Richmond is one of the latest cities to experiment with outsourcing education.In July,the city hired a Texas-based company called Camelot Education to run the Richmond Altemative SchooL which last year served 223 students from across the city in grades 6 through 11.Nearly all of the students at Richmond Alternative are black（97 percent）and most are poor（87 percent qualify for free lunches）.Somc black parents once dubbed it the"colored children's prison"and it has been criticized for contributing to what's called the school-to-prison pipeline-Virginia is the state that refers the most students to law enforcement.Data provided by Richmond's school district shows that its altemative school has been floundering for years,When the school year ended three months ago,the numbers were alarming:The dropout rate had jumped to 38 percent,compared t0 28 percent just two years earlier.And students'scores in nearly every subject had fallen by 50 percent or more during that time.
The most appropriate title for the text would be_____A.Can a Private Company Teach Troubled Kids?
B.Alternative Schools-Prison or Paradise for Troubled Kids?
C.Federal Government Failed to Run Alternative Schools
D.Altemative Schools in Philadelphia Do Better than Other Schools答案：A解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讨论的是私人公司来管理非传统学校，教育问题学生的内容，并对这种方式提出疑问，可推测A项“私人公司能教好问题学生吗？”是最佳答案。【干扰排除】文章的主要内容是讨论私人公司是否能管理好非传统学校和问题学生，并不是讨论非传统学校本身，所以B项排除；C项“联邦政府未能开办非传统学校”是政府运营管理的问题，并非本文论述的主要内容．可排除：D项“费城的非传统学校比其他学校做得更好”是文中提到的一个案例，不能概括全文的内容，所以D项错误。 -

D:/答案：A解析：attend school意为“上学”;A应改为go to ; take part in意为“参加”;enroll意为“注册，登记”，通常和介词in或者at搭配使用，如：" enroll in an English training course”报名参加英语培训课。

"be of+n.”这样的结构相当于“be + adj." , " is not of high quality to meet their needs”的意思是“质量不够高不能满足他们的要求”。
主语是复数名词，因此应该在A项differ和C项extend中间作选择，differ 意为“不同”; extend意为“延伸，扩展”。因此differ在意思上最合适。
meet one's needs = meet the needs of sb.意为“满足某人的需要”。
这里是介词加which引导定语从句的情况，to a degree是个固定搭配，意思是“在很大程度上”。
可以根据上下句判断出这里需要一个形容词，surprised的意思是“吃惊的”，一般用于表示人，如：She is surprised at the fluency of my oral English．她对我流利的英语口语感到吃惊。surprising的意思是“令人吃惊的”，可以用来表示事情。striking的意思是“显著的”，如：striking increase明显的增加。
“由······组成”的表达方法有consist of , be comprised of , be composed of和be made up of，这里需要一个分词作定语来修饰。rganizations，因此选择consisting , " orgarnzations consisting of parents and students”的意思是“由家长和老师组成的机构”。
talk to sb.的意思是“和某人讲话”; comment on sth.的意思是“对某事发表评论”;discuss sth.的意思是“讨论某事”; exchange后一般跟opinions或者ideas之类，表示 “交换观点、看法”。这句话说的是他们碰面讨论关于学校的各种事情。 -

第一篇
Goal of American Education
Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life.Its size is matched by its variety.
Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the
fact that education here has long been intended for everyone一not just for a privileged elite.Schools are ex-
pected to meet the needs of every child,regardless of ability,and also the needs of society itself. This means
that public schools offer more than academic subjects.It surprises many people when they come here to find
high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing,radio repair,computer programming or driver training,
along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics,history,and languages.Students choose their
curricula depending on their interests,future goals,and level of ability. The underlying goal of American edu-
cation is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of
civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and"Americanizing"the
millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins.
Schools still play a large role in the community,especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many,not only because it is informal,but also
because there is not much emphasis on learning facts.Instead,Americans try to teach their children to think
for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.Students spend much time,learning
how to use resource materials,libraries,statistics and computers.Americans believe that if children are
taught to reason well and to research well,they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the
rest of their lives.Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of
facts.
This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking
themselves in the fast-moving time:"How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither
predict nor understand?"Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries?
A:The large number of its schools.
B:The variety of the courses offered in its schools.
C:Its special consideration given to immigrants.
D:Its underlying goal to develop every child's abilities to the fullest extent.答案：D解析：A、B、D三项均只指出了美国教育口标的一个方面。C项说的是：为每个学生提供一个 充分发展他（她）的才能的机会。这是美国总的教育目标。
由文章第二段倒数第二句话“Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals , and level of ability.”可知，学生可以根据自己的兴趣、将来的目标和能力来选择课 程，因此他们所学的课程是不同的。
A、B、D三项都只提到教育的某一个方面。由文章第四段第二句话“Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.”可知，美国教育最强调的是对学生创造能力的培养。
文章中没有提到美国教育满足外国留学生的需求。
由文章第二段最后一句话“The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.”可知，给每个学生提供最充分地发挥自己能力的机会是美国教育最重要的特点。 -

第8题：
单选题The text indicates that private schools are very selective because they ______.Ahave no reliable methods to pick students for a class
Bwant a good mixture of boys and girls for classes
Cencounter more demand than they can cope with
Dprefer to enroll children of their relatives
正确答案： C解析：
分析推理题。由第三段倒数第二句可知，学校可以挑剔地选择生源的原因当然是学生过多，而学校过少，故C项为正确答案。由第四段第二句可知，学校也知道，孩子们这么小，要从中挑出一个班来并非易事。而A项中用的则是have no reliable methods（没有可靠的办法），与原文不符。B项虽对应于第四段倒数第二句（They also want a diverse mix），但选项中的boys and girls为增添内容。D项意为“更愿意招收亲戚的孩子”，未被提及。 -
第9题：
单选题Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?AThe U.S. schools don’t want the parents know their plans for disasters.
BParents should push schools to make reasonable plans for disasters.
CThe U.S. schools have done too little to prepare for disasters.
DMost U.S. parents do not know the disaster preparedness plan of their schools.
正确答案： B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。 -

BProsperity of Private Schools.
CThe Problem for Public Schools.
DAmericans’ No.1 Concern
正确答案： C解析：
主旨题。通读全文可知，本文主要论述的是美国由于学生多而学校少，学龄前儿童入学困难的问题。本文不但说明了现状、分析了原因，还给出了解决这一问题的建议。因此，本文主旨是“入学难困扰着学龄前儿童及其父母”。故A项为正确答案。B项意为“私立学校的繁荣”。C项意为“公立学校存在的问题”，均不正确。D项意为“美国人首要的关注点”所指太泛。 -
第12题：
单选题Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAll schools have peer mediators.

CWhen disputants are speaking, peer mediators can stop their words at any time.
DPeer mediators can make disputants get a “win-win” result every time.

It can be inferred that alternative schools are founded to_____A.offer diplomas to disruptive kids
B.lay heavy burdens on local schools
C.provide smaller classes and individual attention
D.prevent disruptive children from entering public schools答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据定位词定位到第一段第三句。该句提到，“希望小班和个人关注能够帮助这些学生获得文凭”，故A项“给问题学生提供文凭”为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“给当地学校带来沉重的负担”是当地学校和政府的问题，不是非传统学校的问题，可排除；c项“提供小班和对个人的关注”是校方希望通过这样的方式来帮助问题学生，而不是非传统学校建立的目的，故C项错误；问题学生让公立学校很头疼，但是并没有直接提到他们被公立学校抛弃，他们就读的非传统学校只是酱通学校的一部分，故D项错误。 -

第20题：
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 -
第21题：
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。解析： 暂无解析 -
