Passage one I was born in the city of York in England in the year 1632 My father was a man of some wealth able to give me a good home and send me to school It was his wish that I should be a lawyer buy my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of rambling and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea My father gave me strong and earnest counsel against it but with little effect One day being at Hull I met a school fellow who was about to sail for London in his father s ship and he prompted me to go with him and in an evil hour without asking God s blessing or my father s I went on board On the way to London a storm arose the ship was wrecked and we barely escaped with our lives I went on foot to London where I met with the master of a vessel which traded to the coast of Africa He took a fancy to me and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages which I gladly accepted A great storm came up and the ship was tossed about for many days until we did not know where we were Suddenly we struck a bank of sand and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces In this distress we launched a boat After we had been driven four or five miles a raging wave struck us so furiously that it overset the boat at once Though I swam well the waves were so strong that I was dashed against a rock with such force that it left me senseless But I recovered a little before the waves returned and running forward got to the mainland safely 1 What did the author want to do when he was young A To visit Africa B To sail the seas C To practice law D To make a tour of London 2 Why did the author go on foot to London A The ship he took was destroyed in a storm B His father did

shore B The big waves were about to overturn the ship C Their ship had been knocked about for may days on the sea D Their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces 4 When the author got to the mainland he A searched everywhere for his lost companions B fell down on the ground senseless C was safe and sound D ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea 5 When the author finally arrived on land he most probably A knew he was in Africa B did not know where he was C was not aware he was back in England D got in touch with his family and asked for help Passage two Some people have it easy When their kids ask them what they do at work they can give a simp1e direct answer I put out fires or I fix sick peop1e or I teach primary schoo1 As a theoretica1 physicist I never had this 1uck Society has come to expect many things from the physicist 1t used to be that me on1y bad to discover the basic 1aws of the wor1d and supp1y the techniques that wou1d power the next of things we think we know how to do What makes us uncomfortab1e and what makes it hard for us to te11 our kids what we re up to is that in this century we have become though unwi11ing1y gurus on questions such as what is the nature of Rea1ity 现实 We now deal with a whole new c1ass of prod1ems We ask how the wor1d began and what is the nature4 of matter The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person So when physicists get out of their cars in the morning have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers they 1eave a fami1iar wor1d and enter a p1ace where things act in of strange ways that are impossid1e for ordinary peop1e to understand 6 According to the passage in a way physicists are A intel1igent B comfortad1e C strange D

Passage one A couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey It was a nice average school a square and solid building full of reasonably well behaved kids from middle class families I handled three classes and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day Teaching s the toughest job there is In his new memoir Teacher Man Frank McCourt recalls telling his students Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses Not to mention writing a column I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin 下巴 in my hand any time But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders and you are sunk The average new teacher today makes just under 30 000 a year which may not look too bad for a twenty something with no mortgage 抵押贷款 and no kids But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy 舒适安逸的 hours and summer vacations they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills According to the Department of Education one in every five teachers leaves after the first year and almost twice as many leave within three If any business had that rate of turnover someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it This isn t any business It s the most important business around the gardeners of the landscape of the human race Unfortunately the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice and it s a terrible fit Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay 奖 励工资 It s a concept that works fine if you re making toys but kids aren t toys and good teaching isn t an assembly line 1 What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers A They have to teach three classes at a time B They have a very rewarding job C They prefer to teach children from middle class families D They have a very hard job to do 2 Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column A Teaching is like working on docks and warehouses B Teaching demands full attention C Teachers have to work with children D Teachers have no chance to go traveling 3 What do new teachers find out after some practice A Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations B They have to work during vacations to make ends meet C They have to plan their time well to get everything done D They can take a second or even a third job besides teaching 4 We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks A measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobs B the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupations C it s natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five years D it s fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race 5 What does the author think of merit pay A It will make up for teachers low starting salaries B It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers C It is a good fix for current educational problems D It is not suitable for the teaching profession Passage two I m coming off this plane and landing at London airport I m looking around for a middle aged woman my Aunt Penn who I ve seen in pictures The photographs are out of date but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace 项链 and flat shoes and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray But I m just guessing since the pictures only showed her face Anyway I m looking and looking and everyone s leaving and there s no signal on my phone and I m thinking Oh great I m going to be abandoned at the airport so that s two countries they don t want me in when I notice everyone s gone except this kid who comes up to me and says You must be Daisy And when I look relieved he does too and says I m Edmond Hello Edmond I say nice to meet you I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it s not exactly what you d expect from your average fourteen year old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night but aside from that he s exactly like some kind of mutt you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you re going to take him home Well that s him Only he took me home I ll take your bag he said and even though he s about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg he grabs my bag and I grab it back and say Where s your mom is she in the car And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette which even though I know smoking kills and all that I think is a little bit cool but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarettes I don t say anything in case it s a well known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it I ll end up looking like an idiot when I ve barely been here five minutes Anyway he says Mum couldn t come to the airport because she s working and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else so I drove here myself 6 Daisy flew to London to A see England B live with her aunt C meet Edmond D visit a friend 7 Before Edmond greeted her Daisy felt A anxious B curious C relieved D excited 8 Edmond waited till everyone was gone before greeting Daisy because A he did not want to talk to a girl before others B he did not get Daisy s phone call C he had never s
