suffer from any kind of mental disability？”was he talking about my wonderful scola? no, no, it cant be. what a helpless, lonely moment! i told him that scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. i asked him why he was asking me all these questions.my son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, scola was disrupting the class. didnt he know my son did not speak english yet?he was angry：“why hasnt your son been taught to speak english? dont you speak english at home？”no, i didnt speak english at home, i replied. i was sure my son would learn english in a couple of months, and i didnt want him to forget his native language. well, wrong answer! what kind of person would not speak in english to her son at home and at all times? “are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？”needless to say, i tried to tell him i was not one of “those people”. then he told

laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.but in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubledto $1.01 per packsmokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.this is not a surprise to public health advocates.theyve studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.the only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.yet the rate of taxation varies widely.in manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of marlboro light kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore wednesday.in charleston，s.c.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.the influence is obvious.in new york，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys13.8%，far below the national average.by comparison,26% of high school students smoke in kentucky.other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.hal rogers，representative from kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on lowincome americans “who choose to smoke.”thats true.but there is more reason in keeping future generations of lowincome workers from getting hooked in the first place.as for todays adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】

research into the history of humans in britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says. in a letter addressed to the justice secretary, ken clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. it centres on the law introduced by the ministry of justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in england and wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. the decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance. “your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years of further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write. the law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3, 000 bc. archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground. the arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as happisburgh in norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950, 000 years ago. if human remains were found at happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern europe and the first indication of what this species was. under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed. before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the burial act 1857 applied to more recent remains. the ministry of justice assured archaeologist two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it. mike parker pearson, an archaeologist at sheffield university, said:“archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”the ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept. 1. according to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because.a. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsb. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchc. it was introduced by the government without their knowledged. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains2. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.b. human remains of the oldest species were dug out at happisburgh.c. human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.d. scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.3. what can be inferred about the british law governing human remains? a. the ministry of justice did not intend it to protect human remains.b. the burial act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.c. the law on human remains hasnt changed in recent decades. d. the ministry of justice has not done enough about the law.4. which of the following might be the best title of the passage? a. new discoveries should be reburied, the government demandsb. research time should be extended, scientists requirec. law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities sayd. law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn【参考答案】67.1-4 bcdd c62013浙江卷 -ano one knows for sure when advertising first started. it is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. that led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job. lets take a man well call mr. fielder, for example. he did everything connected with farming. he planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. at the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. however, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things. suppose there was another man we shall call mr. plowright. using what he knew about farming and working with iron, mr. plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. mr. plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows. how did mr. plowright let people know what he was doing? why, he advertised, of course. first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. it was probably all the information people needed to find mr. plowright and his really good plows. many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. even before most people could read, they understood such signs. shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale. a medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. you might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. the second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention. a crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. it is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. in ancient egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. his job was, in other words, not too different from a tv or radio commercial in todays world. 41what probably led to the start of advertising? athe discovery of iron. bthe specialization of labor. cthe appearance of new jobs. dthe development of farming techniques. 42to advertise his plows, mr. plowright _. apraised his plows in public bplaced a sign outside the shop chung an arrow pointing to the shop dshowed his products to the customers43the writer makes up the two stories of mr. fielder and mr. plowright in order to_. aexplain the origin of advertising bpredict the futur
