阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 A REUTERS President Obama sent Congress a proposal to rewrite the main federal education law The current version of the law signed by George W Bush eight years ago is known as the No Child Left Behind Act That name would go away The current policy calls for every student to be able to pass state tests in reading and math by 2014 All schools must show yearly progress toward this goal But states decide how much students need to know to show proficiency President Obama s goal is that every student should graduate from high school in his words ready for college and a career The target date for schools is 2020 Barack Obama What this plan recognizes is that while the federal government can play a leading role in encouraging the reforms and high standards we need the impetus for that change will come from states and from local schools and school districts Under the new proposal states and school systems would compete for federal grants The idea is similar to the administration s four billion dollar Race to the Top competition to improve schools Struggling schools could receive money for teacher improvement and for developing plans for success The lowest performing schools would face changes such as replacing teachers and the principal or being closed The plan would reward effective schools and teachers with money and other recognition But leaders of the nation s largest teachers unions criticized the administration s blueprint Dennis Van Roekel from the NEA National Education Association said it still relies on standardized tests to identify winners and losers Ann Bryant executive director of the National School Boards Association said There is no research that says that if you fire the principal you re going to get better results There s very little research that says if you fire half the faculty you re going to get good results And there is zero research that says closing the school necessarily helps those children Randi Weingarten one of the American Federation of Teachers said the plan appears to place all the responsibility on teachers but gives them zero percent authority 56 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Obama s plan A The administration considered the proposal as the No Child Left Behind Act B Each student has to pass tests in order to be admitted into colleges and universities C The plan advocates rewarding effective schools and teachers with money D Schools which have bad performance must be closed down by the state government 学大教育 南通总部 57 What is the attitude of Dennis Van Roekel Ann Bryant and Randi Weingarten in the passage A Critical B Supportive C Objective D Uninterested 58 Which may be the best title of the passage A Obama s Blueprint

is closest in meaning to A reasonB push C blameD promise B Welcome To International Summer School An enjoyable English language learning experience together with organized sports activities and

Mountaineers have noted that as they climb for example up to the 12 633 foot Humphreys Peak in Arizona plant life changes greatly In the Sonoran Desert one climbs into a pine forest at 7 000 feet and a treeless tundra 冻土带 on the top of the mountain It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called communities groupings of species The idea is that over time plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places and are frequently to be found together Scientists study the history of plant life and build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop But are these associations which are real in the present permanent A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25 000 and 10 000 years ago when small changes in the earth s orbit caused great sheets of ice to spread from poles These glaciers 冰川 covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles and then as the climate warmed they retreated During this retreat they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to occupy and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake they release pollen 花粉 Some would fall into the lake sink to the bottom and mix with the sand By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of the plant life around the lake The fossil record seems clear there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together Things that lived together in the past don t live together now and things that live together now didn t live together in the past 学大教育 南通总部 Each individual living things moved at its own pace The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to move about to respond to environmental changes 63 According to the passage the movement of individual species of plants A occurs in groups B often depends upon the formation of lakes C does not occur in groups D depends upon climate and soil conditions 64 All of the following are true EXCEPT A The ice age occurred when there were small changes in the orbit of the earth B Fossil records seem to indicate that plants will be preserved if they have enough room to move C Fossil records clearly show that entire groups of plants are unlikely to have moved together D In the ice age glaciers covered the world to depths of up to two miles 65 The underlined word which refers to A the responses of plants to climate changes B the current theories of ecosystems C the development of ecosystems D plant life changes 66 The second paragraph is intended to A support the main idea of the first paragraph B answer the question raised in first paragraph C make suggestions about responding to environmental changes D stress the importance of preserving species D When staring at the picture of Pilgrim in the bed of hospital Grace had already decided what she was going to do She knew they d try and get her to ride him again though she had only one leg left But she wasn t going to ever She would tell her parents to give him back to the people in Kentucky She couldn t bear the idea of selling him locally where she might come across him one day being ridden by someone else She would go and see him one more time to say good bye But that was all Pilgrim came home for Christmas too a week earlier than Grace and no one at Cornell was sad to see the back of him It was said that the wounds were healing well the skin grafts 皮肤移植 over the cannon bone had taken and the nose bone repair looked better than they had ever dared to hope None of these was lie And none of them prepared Grace for what she was about to see Grace Robert Grace s father said Pilgrim isn t how he used to be He s been very disturbed by what happened Grace looked very worried suddenly and Robert looked at his wife for help To be honest I m not sure it s a good idea for her to see him I want to see him Open the door Robert looked at Annie for a decision It seemed to Annie that they had already gone too far to turn back She nodded Then there was silence The top door was opened slowly and Grace peered in with Annie and Robert standing behind her Then she gave a cry and turned away and Robert had to reach out quickly to stop her from falling No Daddy no He put his arm around her and led her back to the yard The sound of her sobbing faded and was lost on the wind Three weeks later Annie Grace and Pilgrim were on the travel to Montana for a horse whisperer who was said could talk with horse Grace had reacted to her mother s plan much as Annie had predicted She had screamed and shouted and said she wasn t going they couldn t make her and that was that Annie had told Robert on his own earlier and attacked every protest 抗议 he made She can t go on avoiding the issue she said It s her horse for God s sake She can t just wash her hands of it Annie look at what the kid s been through But walking away from it isn t helping her it s making it worse You know how much she loved him You saw how she was that day at the stables 马厩 He didn t reply just looked down and shook his head Annie took his hand in hers We can do something about this Robert she said gentle now I know we can Pilgrim can be alright again This man can make him alright And then Grace can be too Robert looked at her Does he really think he can do it Annie hesitated but not enough for him to notice Yes she said It was the

magnet 磁体 So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the
