The debate came after the Ministry of Education began to ask for opinions from the public on Friday on whether it was necessary and possible to stop the dividing system, which has been accepted for decades. In a survey started by www. qq. com, more than 260 000 people cast their votes, with 54 percent of those voted for the abolishment (废除)and 40 percent against. A netizen from Chengdu said: “Sciences can activate the mind, while arts could strengthen their learning ability.” But some people disagreed with him. A netizen nicknamed “gentle scholar” said the students would have more burden if they have more subjects to study. “You dont even know how difficult the courses are. I suggest a survey among students.” “Abolish the current system of division? We have to study nine subjects? Finally we will study everything and have learnt little,” wrote another netizen. Li Yanling, an education expert in Beijing, called on education authorities to consider students school burden. Chinese students are required to choose either arts or sciences subjects after ten years education, which include six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and one year in senior high school. Besides the Chinese language, mathematics and English, which are must for everyone, science students are required to take physics, biology and chemistry, while arts students study politics, history and geography. 41. Choosing preferred subjects can help students_. A. have more chance to look for jobs in futureB. find a good job after graduation C. have more advantages to enter a university D. show interest in daily life 42. Netizen nicknamed “gentle scholar” _. A. is for the abolishment B. is against the abolishment C. doesnt care the abolishmentD. prefers students to learn more 43. Which of the following statements is NOT true? . A. The debate is on whether the students should choose science or liberal arts classes in high school B. More people on the Internet are for the abolishment C. The students who are against the abolishment think abolishing the current system of division will heavy their burden. D. Science students are required to take physics, biology and chemistry besides Chinese, math and English. 44. What must a Chinese student learn in 2008? A. Chinese, math and English. B. Physics, biology and chemistry. C. Politics, history and geography. D. Both B and C.BTell me what you were like when you were my age, I asked my mother one winter afternoon when I was home from college. My mother stopped her sewing and looked up, surprised at my question. After what seemed like a long time she answered, I was never like you. I never dreamed of being a lawyer, professor, or anything, other than a wife, mother and grandmother. I was the eldest of twelve children, and every waking moment was filled with work and responsibilities to keep the family clothed and feed. Back then, there was only one job for girls, and it was being a hard-working woman. My mother grew up in Laos where, like most other people from the Hmong tribe, she lived with her family in a mountain village. She fled her homeland during the war in Vietnam, and became one of the thousands of Hmong people now living in the United States. Most Hmong refugees brought little with them but their traditions-including the custom of marrying young to save the race under difficult condition. In Hmong culture, honor, respect, and family solidarity are higher than individual dreams-and men, the carriers of the family name, are higher than women forever. Most Hmong women like my mother accept this so deeply. Men are important, my mother would tell me when I asked why women always ate last during any kind of a celebration. They are stronger and wiser- therefore they always eat before us. That winter afternoon, I sat in silence and watched her sew. I stared out of the window, remembering how I grew up. I was lost in thought that I was really so lucky to live in a peaceful world.45. From the passage we know that the writer is a _. A. doctor B. housewife C. lawyer D. university student 46. The only job in mothers time was _.A. to study hard to enter universityB. to work hard for the familyC. to join the army for the warD. to marry a rich man 47.

Children C. Women D. The old CPop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock n roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. Its a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.49.All of the following forms belong to pop music EXCEPT _.

Whenever I speak to some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor.” I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCYNOTACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(预先主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook（观点）, then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget the English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 56 Context A limited vocabulary You have to enlarge your vocabulary. You should take a positive attitude towards 57 English.Being afraid of making mistakesBeing shy and 58 makes it easy to make mistakes.Fluency is more important. Talk to someone in English as quickly and well as 59 . It doesnt _60 _any difference if you may use a wrong word or tense.Lack of 61 while listening All that 62 is necessary for you to start speaking.
