【2015高考复习】阅读理解for my grandmothers 70th birthday，my family and i visited south korea.while there，i was attentive to korean high schools and students.i was surprised by how different koreas public high schools are from americas.korean high schools can be allgirls，allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.there are three grades：“go 1(10th)”，“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”“go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”，which，simply translated，is “high school”in america，unless you want to go to a private school，you dont have to take an entrance exam.in korea，however，students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.another difference i couldnt help but notice was the students appearance.with very few exceptions，all wear uniforms.a name tag (标牌) with the students name，grade and homeroom number must also be worn.girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee，and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.there are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness，and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.the final difference was the setup of the classes.there may be 40 students in a classroom，but the number can be less or even more，depending on the population of the town or city.although there are many students per classroom，they are very close，which i think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.there are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.they just have tenminute breaks between subjects.in each class，students are ranked by their grades.this causes strict competition，and korean students do a lot of studying.to help them，all schools have extra study classes after school.one other fact that helped me appreciate living in america is that koreans have school on saturdays.although its only a half day，i think i speak for most americans when i say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a saturday.koreas public high schools are clearly different from americas.i had imagined them to be just like our schools，but now i have a clear picture of how different they are.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了在作者眼中韩国高中和美国高中的不同之处。1how many main differences are mentioned between koreas public high school and

a military history buff and the son of a retired navy man, was ready to listen. beers had volunteered for the veterans history project, a program at the library of congress dedicated to preserving the oral histories of americans 19 million veterans. local newspapers listed beers number, and the response was tremendous. hes videotaped 52 vets ever since. “most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” says beers, 33, an assistant engineer for the city of poway, calif. “they ask, why now? but it has to be now, before its too late.” the u.s. department of veterans affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day. beers and the other volunteers are collecting the i-was-there detail. one of the most moving came from a world war ii pow (prisoner of war): “he had to march 500 miles through the black forest in winter. they ate bark soup and slept at local farm.” the ww ii generation comprises(包含) most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. but, says director ellen lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. “i interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in vietnam,” she says. “he said he shared things with me that hes never told anyone.”1. what do we know from the text about the veterans?a. they live a very happy life after the war.b. they often told their stories to others.c. they were highly respected by people.d. they are becoming fewer and fewer in numbers.答案解析：答案为d。本题为细节推理题。由第二段最后一句话 “the u.s. department of veterans affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.”可知，每天有1847位老兵死去，也就意味着老兵的数目越来越少，故d选项正确。2. how did the veterans feel when they were interviewed?a. happy. b. sad. c. surprised.d. disappointed.答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节题。由第二段首句 “most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” 可知，老兵对于有人对他们的故事感兴趣感到非常吃惊，故答案为c。 3. what does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 1) refer to?a. veterans wanted to talk.b. jeff beers was ready to listen.c. the veterans had many stories.d. there were many phone messages.答案解析：答案为a。本题为词义推断题。由第一段前面的内容 “the 400 phone messages said it all. veterans wanted to talk, and jeff beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired navy man, was ready to listen.”可知，“it”指代的是紧跟着它后面的内容“veterans wanted to talk”，故答案为a。4. what kind of stories is jeff beers most interested in?a. historical records of world war ii.b. stories written by newspaper reporters.c. stories most talked about by public.d. personal experiences of people during different wars.答案解析：答案为d。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “one of the most moving came from a world war ii pow (prisoner of war): he had to march 500 miles through the black forest in winter. they ate bark soup and slept at local farm.”可知，jeff beers最感兴趣的是战争期间人们的个人经历，故答案为d。【浙江省金华十校2014高考英语模拟试题】 for years i fought with the birds nest that sat on top of my head-my medusa（神话中的蛇发女妖） hairno matter what i did and how hard i tried, in no way could

but our very bodies as well. first, lets talk about culture. the difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. if you call my mobile, you get me. if you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it. this has several implications（含义）. the most common one, however, and perhaps
