college entrance exam by 2020, according to details of exam and admission reform revealed by the ministry of education. the national college entrance exam, known as the “gaokao” has been used to evaluate chinese students for three decades. the ministry of education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. the ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release. instead, tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change chinas once-in-a-lifetime exam system. the plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in the first half of next year. it will be piloted in selected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017. a new exam and admission system will be established by 2020, according to the education ministry.the decision has aroused a heated discussion among shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning english or if the substitute test could reflect a students english skills and help students learn english better.“the reform shows china is learning from the west to give students more test-taking chances. but more chances might become more of a burden since chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said cai jigang, a professor at fudan universitys college of foreign languages and literature and chairman of the shanghai advisory committee for college english teaching at tertiary level.yu lizhong, chancellor of new york university shanghai, where classes are in english and students are required to have a high standard of english, said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.“ as far as i see, the reform doesnt mean english is no longer important for chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” yu said. “in a way, english is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a students english skills under a diverse evaluation system. ”yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesnt need excellent english while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.the education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.29. what can we learn from the first paragraph?a.english will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.b. it has been 30 years since english became one subject of national college entrance exam.c.chinas once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.d.the system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.30. according to the passage, shanghai educators and parents argue that _.a. the new exam and admission system will make no differenceb. english shouldnt be removed from chinas college entrance examc. the reform may accomplish the very opposited. western educational system does not apply to china31. what does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?a. students neednt lay a good foundation during the period of high school.b. whether students should study hard english may depend on their major.c. students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.d. english must be close to full mark.32. whats the purpose of the passage?a. to advise students not to devote themselves to english.b. to call on education department to remove english from “gaokao”.c. to support the act of ministry of education.d. to encourage students to do as they have planned.dthe african elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to african ecosystem(生态系统). unlike other animals, the african elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. as a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地). it is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. in its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. this results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the african savannas. in these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters. take the rain forests for example. in their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. by pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. in such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well. what worries scientists now is that the african elephant has become an endangered species. if the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 33. what is the passage mainly about? a. disappearance of african elephants. b. forests and savannas as habitats for african elephants. c. the effect of african elephants search for food. d. the eating habit of african elephants. 34. what does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? a. fixing the time. b. worsening the state. c. improving the quality. d. deciding the conditions. 35. what do we know about the open spaces in the passage? a. they result from the destruction of rain forests. b. they provide food mainly for african elephants. c. they are home to many endangered animals. d. they are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds. 第二节 （共5小题 ，每小题2分，满分10分）
