The areas city councilwoman(女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems. Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.” Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” he decided. “Thats enough to do. I cant take on all the problems of the world.” As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didnt have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boys arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “Youve got great timing!” “Just being neighborly,” Mark said.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have to tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to thema form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an illrespected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.Z28. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_.A. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.B. children from wellrespected schools tend to have good jobsC. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success29. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.D. Childrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.30. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _.A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionB. computers should be selected to take over many jobsC. special classed are necessary to keep the school standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with 31. The passage mainly focuses on _.A. schools and certificatesB. examination and equality C. opportunity and employmentD. standards and reputation DEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction. The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people. Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.32. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because_.A. they have little knowledge of it B. it helps to build human characterC. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife D. they want to keep wildlife under control33. The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means_. A. form B. Condition C. pain D. sadness34. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually_. A. teach them how to deal with guns safely B. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exercise D. encourage them to have guns of their own35. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_.A. blame the majority of people B. worry about the existence of wildlifeC. be in favour of war D. be in support of character-building 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change youWe all need some normal stress in our lives, after all 36    So challenge the following limits:    1 Figure out what youre scared of and do it continuously    If youre a salesman, and youre scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking youll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call 37   But dont stop on the first try!

In Simons case, the grades were awfully low. He couldnt read his own handwriting.    42    he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his   43    .So when Simons mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely   44   for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.   45   me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he  46    me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had   47    spent an afternoon at a friends house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 48   I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left. I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,   49   what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without    50    knowing it? What I finally came to    51   was one day, several months before, when some students were    52   reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke   53   , and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simons the expert on this. He is the    54   one you have to convince, and he cant hear you in the    55   of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,   56  more, and became happy. And it was all because he   57  to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most ne
