Every developing economist knows it. The World Bank knows it. The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty. The reason is simple. All the evidence shows that taking girls out of the fields and homes, and putting them behind desks, raises economic productivity, lowers infant and maternal(产妇) death rates, reduces birth rates, and improves environmental management. Why, then, are 90 million primary school-age girls around the world not in school? For the same reason that when Charles Dickens was writing David Copperfield 150 years ago girls were absent from the British education system: Men in power mostly prefer it that way, or are not interested enough in changing the situation to commit energy and money to doing so.The countries with the poorest record for having women in positions of power or influence have the worst figures for girls education. High-profile intervention(介入) by organizations such as the World Bank has begun successfully with several countries, and more of the same will probably be needed to bring change in conservative, male-run states.Even if there were no development payoff from gender equality in schools, the education of girls would still be a cause worth fighting for. Education is a human right, and the denial of it to girls is a scar on the community in the twenty-first century. To be born a girl in a rural area in Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, Morocco, Togo, or Sudan half a dozen of the most shameful performers means being condemned to a life without school, education, or clean water, marriage and babies coming too early, too many births, children who die of preventable diseases, backbreaking work in the fields, subordination(从属) to husband and his family, and an early death.Every year, almost 12 million children under the age of five needlessly die of infectious diseases associated with poverty. But each additional year spent by their mothers in primary school lowers the risk of premature child deaths by about 8 percent. In Pakistan, an extra year of school for 1,000 girls could prevent sixty infant deaths.With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output, and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting and farming. Therefore, the world community cannot afford to ignore this avenue of change.1. Which is Not the reason why educating girls reduces poverty?A. It improves environmental management.B. It raises economic productivity.C. It creates more children. D. It lowers maternal death rates.2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The poor economy at that time. B. Girls absence from school.C. Energy and money.D. The education of girls.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The countries where women have great influence and are in power always do worse in girls education.B. Some organizations such as the World Bank havent taken the lead in girls education.C. Some girls in Sudan and Indonesia are bound to live a life without education when they are born.D. Each extra year of school for girls has nothing to do with the birthrate and maternal deaths.4. How many more infants will survive when 100 girls stay in school for another year?A. 5 B. 6 C. 8 D. 125. What does the author think of girls education?A. essential B. terribleC. indifferent D. helpless【答案】CBCBA【解析】【试源】江西省师大附中等五校高三第一次联考【结束】5.【题文】If youre travelling in the following cities, these exciting events may drag you out of the house.CONCERTSMayday Noahs Ark World TourInfo: Jul 13, Xiamen; Jul 19/20, Shanghai; Aug 3, Shenzhen; Aug 17, BeijingThe rock band Mayday is about to bring their attractive tour to an end and, as usual, its going to happen in a grand way.

The music makes us constantly aware of the seas immensity, its potential for threat, and the play of light on its waves. But the sea isnt just a special background, it weighs on the lives of the characters, offering them a living, but at a price. In the first act the laboured sound of the strings evokes (引起) the complete heaviness of the sailors work, as they haul(用力拉) the boats up the shingle (鹅卵石). Then a storm gathers which rages(肆虐) through the scene at the Inn, and stirs up an orchestral hurricane. Even when its calm and favorable, the sea is inescapable.In the comfortable enclosed world of the opera house, this can only be suggested. In the production of Peter Grimes about to open at the Aldeburgh Festival, it will be really present, because the opera is taking place on the beach, the setting for much of the narrative of Brittens opera, and also the poem by the Suffolk poet George Crabbe that inspired it.This wont be the first opera production to be set in the actual landscape in which the action takes place. Theres a well-known filmed production of Tosca shot in Castel Gandolfo in Rome, and a production of Donizettis Anna Bolena was once mounted in the moat(护城河) surrounding the Tower of London. But those were manageable urban landscapes, with comfortingly solid buildings to act as wind shields and acoustic blocks.On the Aldeburgh beach theres actually nothing, apart from a few boats, some whole, some wrecked. Here anything more complicated than walking the dog is hard to solve. The wind blows away ones words, so conversation is hard, and anything not tied down tends to blow away. The sliding shingle turns ones steps into a drunken stagger.The idea of performing an opera in these conditions seems quite barmy an accusation Aldeburgh director Jonathan Reakie takes cheerfully on the chin. Why has he done it? “Well, Grimes is the opera of Brittens thats most associated with Aldeburgh, but its never been produced at the Festival which he founded. There just isnt the space for it. In his anniversary year we wanted to focus on Brittens connection with Suffolk, and this seemed the boldest way to do it.”Having had the mad idea, Reakie found his colleagues were not just accepting, but enthusiastic. “We spent a long time thinking about ways to do it. One idea we had was to do all the scenes at the right time of day. Theres one scene at dawn, another at midday, and a lot of action at night, but that was too complicated. Then we thought about doing a few scenes on the beach. But in the end, we thought hell, lets just do the whole thing.”1. Which of the following can best describe the sailors work in the first act? A. Pleasant.B. Hard.C. Comfortable.D. Attractive.2. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By giving descriptions.B. By following time order. C. By analyzing causes.D. By making comparisons.3. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. The benefits of the actual landscape.B. The actual landscape of Aldeburgh beach.C. The location of the Aldeburgh beach.D. The hardship of performing opera in Aldeburgh beach.4. The underlined word “barmy” (in Paragraph 5) is closest in meaning to _. A. crazy B. impossible C. wonderfulD. terrible5. Reakies partners attitude towards his opera on a beach is _. A. eagerB. cautiousC. doubtfulD. unfavorable【答案】BCDAA【解析】【试源】江西省师大附中等五校高三第一次联考【结束】7.【题文】I guess I always knew about the little fish treat, but this past summer it was all I could see. Pipin and Nemo were balancing on one front flipper(鳍), flying through hoops, dancing with the trainer, and we were all applauding the little kids screaming with delight. Thats when the trainer, who wore a little treat bag on her belt, slipped Pipin and Nemo a fish. Each time they successfully performed a trick, theyd get an immediate reward.These creatures werent really dancing, of course. They were performing a series of movements that they knew would produce a fish. Its such a good show because the sea lions look like theyre having such fun. These talented performers who love to be in front of an audience seem almost human.Somewhere in our faith journey, we all have a sea lion moment. You see how youve spent years jumping through hoops, balancing a ball on your nose, not because its really who you are, but because youve always done it and the system rewarded you for your performance. But when youve done that for ten or twenty years, you start to ask yourself, “Whose approval am I working for? What do I really believe?” Suddenly you see it: youve spent most all your life taking direction from other people. Theyve told you what to believe in, what to work for, what to value, how to live your life. You dont want to end your life like Sinclair Lewiss George Babbitt, the middle-aged real-estate broker(经纪人) who has everything and reached the top. But on the last page of Babbitt, George is speaking to his son Ted, who cannot follow in his fathers steps. He wants to leave college and head off on his own way. “Dad, I cant stand it any more,” the boy says. “Maybe its all right for some fellows. Maybe Ill want to go back some day, but now, I want to get into mechanics.” Babbitt, seeming old and subdued, says, “Ive never done a single thing Ive wanted to in my whole life!”The Good-Bye Gate brings us naturally to a s
