However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents（答问卷者）listed to give children a good start academically as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented（强调个性发展的）Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.41. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believeA. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parentsB. Japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD. Japans higher education is superior to theirs42. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance toA. problem solving B. group experienceC. parental guidance D. individually-oriented development43. In Japans preschool education, the focus is onA. preparing children academically B. developing childrens artistic interestsC. tapping childrens potential D. shaping childrens character44. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order toA. broaden childrens horizon B. cultivate childrens creativityC. lighten childrens study load D. enrich childrens knowledge45. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?A. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can accumulate more group experience there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.BOn Thursday September 6, 2007, the world lost an amazing musician and person. The great tenor Luciano Pavarotti lost the battle with cancer and died at 5 am in Italy. This great loss cannot go unnoticed and shouldnt. Pavarotti was an incredible individual and he tried and succeeded in making a difference in the world. Instead of looking at his death with sorrow, we should look at his death as an inspiration.Reviewing all of the contributions this man made with his life, we should try to contribute something great to the world we live in. Each person has a talent, and some, like Pavarotti, use their talents to create a better place for everyone. Many times, some young people feel as though they are lost, asking the same questions and getting no answers: What is my purpose in life? What am I meant to do? Of course we should take time to respectfully think about Pavarotti, but we shouldnt dwell on sorrow because his death is something we cant change . What we all can do to honour this great man is to commit to making a difference and contributing something to the world.Even though not everyone is a musician, each person can learn something from Pavarottis life. The first lesson is that you do not have to become what you originally planned to be. Pavarotti was one of the greatest tenors of all time, but he did not start that way. Many people feel they are stuck on the path theyve chosen. This is not the case! Pavarotti taught elementary school for two years and was an insurance salesman while pursuing his interest. For six years, Pavarotti sang for nothing more than just a hobby until he won an international prize. Just four years later in New York, he made 379 performances and retired from stage opera in 2004, but continued to tour until his cancer diagnosis in 2006.46. What does the author mean by saying “we should look at his death as an inspiration. ”?A. We should be inspired by his death.B. We should be inspired to win the battle with cancerC. We should be inspired to devote ourselves to becoming a musician.D. We should be inspired to make contributions to the world47. The underlined phrase “dwell on” probably means “_”.A. talk little aboutB. think a lot aboutC. fix ones attention on D. look carefully at48. In the second paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell readers about _.A. reviewing all of Pavarottis contributions B. the purpose in ones lifeC. many young peoples doubtsD. how to use talents49. What will the writer probably talk about in the 4th paragraph?A. To describe the excellence of his performancesB. To inform readers of his cancer diagnosisC. To tell readers other lessons we can learn from Pavarotti.D. To introduce his successful life as a tenor.50. In which section of a newspaper does the passage appear?A. EntertainmentB. Cover NewsC. MedicineD. LiteratureCA recent study, published in last weeks Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m. , and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is. ”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate（使缓解）the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night or passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a novice（新手）driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20（without the presence of an adult over 25）for the first six months.51. Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p. m.B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.52. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _.A. their frequent driving at night B. their improper ways of drivingC. their lack of driving experience D. their driving with passengers53. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.B. Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.C. Restrictions should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.D. The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers driving accidents.54. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers driving accidents is that _.A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB. they should be prohibited from taking on passengersC. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p. m.D. the licensing system should be improved55. The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system _.A. is under discussion B. is about to be set upC. has been put into effect D. has been perfected第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。最后将答案涂在答题卡的相应序号处. 注意: 请同时涂A,B 表示E; 同时涂C,D表示F.首先，请阅读下列运动学校、中心或俱乐部的信息：A.
