（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项标号涂黑。athere are some very good things about open education. this way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. some students do badly in a traditional classroom. the open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. some students will be happier in an open education school. they will not have to worry about grades or rules. for students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.but many students will not do well in an open classroom. for some students, there are too few rules. these students will do little in school. they will not make good use of open education. because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. for many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. they worry about the rules even when there are no rules. even a few rules will help this kind of students. the last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. many teachers do not believe in open education. teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.you now know what open education is. some of its good points and bad points have been explained. you may have your own opinion about open education. the writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. in actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. the writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. they want and need to have rules. in some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. they would not study those subjects if they did not have to.61. open education allows the students to _.agrow as the educatedbbe responsible for their futurecdevelop their own interestsddiscover subjects outside class62. open education may be a good idea for the students who _.aenjoy learningbworry about gradescdo well in a traditional classroomdare responsible for what they do in life.63. some students will do little in an open classroom because _.athere are too few rulesbthey hate activitiescopen education is similar to the traditional education dthey worry about the rules64. which of the following best summarizes the passage?aopen education is a really complex idea.bopen education is better than traditional education.cteachers dislike open education.dthe writer thinks that open education is a good idea in practice. bwhen we ask students what they want to be, they often talk about unusual jobs, things like teachers and doctors. but if you think about it, many people dont plan to do their jobs. they just start doing them by accident. we have talked to two people with unusual jobs.emily is a dentist (牙医) but she doesnt work with people. she works with horses. after university she took care of animals health for several years, but she noticed that there were few people who could help horses teeth. she decided to go to college and study again. then she had to buy special tools, but she is never out of work. shes always very busy taking care of horses teeth. “i couldnt be a dentist for people now,” emily said, “because i really enjoy working with horses.”as soon as david could read, he read books about robots, but the robots he built today dont look like the strange robot people in his books. he builds robots for industry. early one morning he made up his mind to study maths, science and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. “some of the maths is very difficult,” says david, “but you must study maths to be an engineer.” fortunately he got top marks in all his math exams.65. emily doesnt want to be a dentist because _. a. the pay is lowb. she has to buy special tools c. she will be out of work d. she likes working with horses66. to become a robot engineer, david _. a. need to worryb. bought a lot of robots c. had to study hard d. didnt have to go to college67. david got top marks in all his maths exams, although _. a. maths was not easy to studyb. he had to study maths to be an engineer c. he could break into the world of robot engineering d. he made up his mind to study maths, science and computers cwould you like to be a king or queen? to have people waiting on you hand and foot? many americans experience this royal treatment every day. how? by being customers. the american idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. need proof? just listen to the commercials. most of them sound like the mcdonalds ad, “we do it all for you.” actually, not all stores in america roll out the red carpet for their customers. but wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special. people going shopping in america can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. most places dont have a “furniture street” or a “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily. instead, people often “let their fingers do the walking” through the store hot lines. from the first “hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. this initial contact can help them decide where to shop. when customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. customers dont usually find store clerks sitting around watching tv or playing cards. instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. in most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping an easy job. customers usually dont have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. and unless theyre at a flea market or a yard sale, they dont bother trying to bargain. when customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. but as murphys law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. after they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk. many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. that way, they dont have to carry heavy bags out to the car. 68. by quoting (引用) the mcdonalds ad, “we do it all for you”, the author intends to _.a. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeplyb. show readers the american idea on good customer servicec. express all the stores pay much attention to the customersd. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly69. in the usa, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping?a. to visit a professional street with lots of similar stores.b. to compare prices in many shops in the same street.c. to make phone calls and get better shopping choices. d. to receive other customers answers to the questions.70. which of the followings shows american stores offer convenience to customers in this passage?a. the store clerks dont usually sit around watching tv or playing cards.b. some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale.c. the clerks give customers a smile and a warm “thank you” after paying.d. some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded. dwe all dream although we remember only a few of our dreams. some people train themselves to remember their dreams. as soon as they wake up, they record what their dreams were about.scientists believe that we have different kinds of sleep. one kind is called r.e.m. r.e.m. stands for rapid eye movement. during this kind of sleep our eyes move quickly, even though they are closed. although we are asleep, there are a lot of brain activities. we probably have dreams at this time.sometimes people talk in their sleep. in these dreams the dreamer is usually unhappy or worried about something. the worst of the dreams are so frightening that we call th
