while people with little or no education don t It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs But not all the people agree with this idea Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in 第 5 页 共 15 页 order to make more money in the future This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education In fact if education is just a way to make a living people don t need to spend so much time in school They can get education for a living in a short time Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone And people don t have to learn maths and languages so carefully So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living So what is education for Education is well rounded and it should improve a man in many ways It is not only to teach him to speak read and write but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities After that it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human Education is to make a man lead a better life Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music read good books watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education but certainly not the most important or the only reason 1 People with better education usually A have fewer chance to choose a good job B have more chances to get a good job C make less money than others D spend the best years making money 2 The earliest education was probably to A teach a man to think creatively B teach people to read good books C improve a man in many ways D help people make more money 3 What does the underlined word well rounded in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese A 圆满的 B 崭新的 第 6 页 共 15 页 C 全面的 D 公平的 4 It is expected that educated people will be able to A write good books by themselves B learn all the subjects very well C take an interest in the world D lead a richer life than others 5 The passage mainly tells us that A making a living is not the only purpose of education B people can get education in a short time C people should study hard to get better paying jobs D all subjects are very important for a way of living 二 二 信息匹配 信息匹配 共共 1 1 题 共题 共 2525 分分 4 25 分 Every month junior high schools in China choose one hero of the month This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China Dear Mr President I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger I think the situation all over the world is really terrible I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more I know that there are nearly 2 000 nature reserves in China which is good I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves I feel so sorry for the giant panda It s one of the most popular animals in the world and a 第 7 页 共 15 页 real symbol of China We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours That s a lot of bamboo I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct 灭绝 forever The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator 扬子鳄 These creatures live in some parts of eastern China These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isn t clean enough for them to live in It s really dirty in fact The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers If we protect these beautiful animals in China more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them They could be an important tourist attraction It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country especially to see the quieter areas in the country Now most visitors just see the cities I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject Sincerely yours Huang Jing 1 What s Huang Jing s project at school about 2 What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his letter 3 How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours 4 Why is the water in some places too dirty for alligators to live in 5 If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing
