i grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. as a young woman, my mother had worked in the _26_ of a large victorian farmhouse owned by fannie cratty and her twin brother, farnsworth. they represented the _27_of the cratty line. neither had married _28_had any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too

d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。 a like many other parts of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. in microcosm(微观世界), my school is proof of just how global. monkseaton high school is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern england. over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to american universities - two of them to harvard. monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including germany and latvia. monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in eastern european countries. obviously, learning english is a big draw, but his pattern of student movement was unheard of five years ago.the brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that dont face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. the northeast of england is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of britain, even to other countries. what is happening here is happening to britain as a whole. most noticeably, there is a growing trend of british students taking degrees in american universities. this year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time.and what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. wherever they come from, todays students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. because of television, the internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. they are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the internet. students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home.41. why does the author say education has become a global enterprise?a. monkseaton high school used to be a very unfashionable school in the northeast england.b. monkseaton high school is now one of the state-funded middle schools in england.c. monkseaton high school has sent two top students to the harvard university in u.s.d. there is now an extensive exchange of students among different countries.42.what can we infer about northeast england from the passage?a. it is one of the poorest regions in england.b. it has experienced a severe loss of professionals.c. it will face a more serious brain drain in the near future.d. it is losing its young talents to other parts of the world.43. according to the passage, students today have different perspective from their parents on the following except that _.a. education linked to travel is much better than education at homeb. overall cost of education should be considered against money valuec. moving from one culture to another is a welcomed challenged. the internet is more popular and easier to access in the near future44. the students today tend to see the world as a much smaller place not because _.a. they are having more exposure to the television programsb. they are having easier access to the internetc. they are having frequent travels to the other parts of the worldd. they are having better communication with their parents45. the purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _.a. tell us the benefit of globalization of educationb. analyze the causes

as a police officer, i have some urgent things to say to good people. day after day my men and i struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud american way of life. it has happened in the area of values. a key ingredient is disappearing, and i think i know what it is: accountability.accountability isnt hard to define. it means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.of the many values that hold civilization together - honesty, kindness, and so on - accountability may be the most important of all. without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law - and, ultimately, no society.my job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. but as every policeman knows, external controls on peoples behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.fortunately there are still communities - smaller towns, usually - where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that declare: “in this family certain things are not tolerated - they simply are not done!”yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. your typical robber has none. he considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you annoy him.the main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in attitudes. thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged (被剥夺基本社会权利的) upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home.i dont believe it. many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. if we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. we in america desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.50. what the wise man said suggests that its _.a. unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evilb. certain that evil will be widespread if good men do nothing about itc. only natural for good men to defeat evild. desirable for good men to keep away from evil51. according to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime, _.a. society is to be held responsible b. modern civilization is responsible for itc. the criminal himself should bear the blame d. the standards of living should be improved52. compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have _.a. less self-discipline b. better sense of disciplinec. more respect to each other d. less effective government53. the writer is sorry to have noticed that _.a. people in large cities tend to excuse criminalsb. people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards.c. todays society lacks sympathy for people in difficultyd. people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities54. the key point of the passage is that _.a. stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and familiesb. more good examples should be set for people to followc. more attention should be paid to peoples behaviord. more people should accept the value of accountability dis language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? judging from the experiment of frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be. hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.all the infants died before the first year. but clearly there was more than lack of language here. what was missing was mothering. without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.today no such severe lack exists as that or
