before He mixed black church music blues and rock n roll The sound was extremely successful In the nineteen fifties his records began to sell millions of copies At the same time Ray Charles recorded jazz music Those records sold well too Critics said they were new and exciting Listen to his jazz song Sweet Sixteen Bars Ray Charles became famous because he could play blues rock and jazz He also liked other kinds of music He told record company officials that he wanted to record an album 专辑 of country and western music The president of the record company told him it would be a mistake He said Ray s fans would not buy the album Charles disagreed He said he believed he would gain many new fans to replace the few he might lose He produced the album and it was an immediate success The album was called Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Many of the songs were major hits One of the most popular was I Can t Stop Loving You It is a country and western song with Ray Charles sound of blues and black church music 56 Ray Charles became popular with Americans because A he could play blues B he recorded jazz music C he worked hard to create his own sound D he mixed black church music blues and rock n roll 57 Which is NOT true according to the passage A His album about country and western music didn t sell well B Ray Charles Robinson had a great effect on American popular music C

following music EXCEPT A black church music B bluesC jazzD rock n roll 60 The underlined word in the last paragraph hits can be replaced by A attacksB successes C strengths D aims B In a society such as the United States or Canada which has many national religious and cultural differences people highly value individualism the difference among people Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special The educational systems in these countries show these values Students don t memorize information Instead they work individually and find answers themselves There is often discussion in the classroom At an early age students learn to form their own ideas and opinions In most Asian societies by contrast people have the same language history and culture Perhaps for this reason the educational system in much of Asia reflects society s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism Children in China Japan and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments In the classroom the teaching methods are often very formal The teacher lectures and the students listen There is not much discussion Instead 用心 爱心 专心5 the students recite rules of information that they have memorized There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education For example one advantage to the system in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do The system is difficult but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self control There is however a disadvantage Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools yet many students say that after an exam they forget much of the information that they have memorized The advantage of the educational system in North American on the other hand is that students learn to think for themselves The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas There is however a disadvantage When students graduate from high school they haven t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have 61 People in the United States or Canada lay more stress on A team workB self controlC disciplineD individualism 62 Which is NOT true according to the passage A A lot of discussion in the American classroom B Asian students begin to form their own ideas and opinions at school C Asian students recite rules of information that they have memorized D American students don t often work together and help one another in assignments 63 What is the advantage of the educational system in North American A There is not much discussion B Learning to think for themselves C Learning much less math and science D They haven t memorized as many basic rules and facts 64 Which of the following words best describes the author s attitude in writing this passage A Supportive B OppositeD ObjectiveD Subjective 65 The main idea of this passage is A cultural differences in a society such as the United States or Canada B comparisons of Educational System between North America and Asia C there are more advantages Asian systems of education than that of North American D there are more disadvantages Asian systems of education than that of North American C There is a forgotten player in the global efforts to limit C02 emissions the consumer Households consume one third of the final energy used in the European Union and produce around two thirds of city waste Moreover food housing and private transport account for almost 80 of environmental pressures So consumers can make a real difference when it comes to fighting climate change Several factors can direct consumers towards more environmentally friendly behavior To achieve this we need clear and simple information to guide consumption decisions Indeed Two thirds of consumers find it difficult to understand which products are better for the environment when shopping With 58 of Europeans believing that many companies pretend to be green in order to charge higher prices industry has a long way to go in helping consumers feel confident when making green choices They should give consumers more information about the carbon footprint of their products and promote more sustainable behavior among their customers To be sure companies are increasingly creating product labels that help consumers make responsible choices for instance reminding users of products made from materials that are recycled renewable and or less carbon intensive Even so only 20 of Europeans believe that companies are doing enough to promote environmentally friendly options In times of crisis consumers prefer high quality products that will last long and won t go out 用心 爱心 专心6 of style Durable products might sometimes cost more but they don t need to be replaced as frequently In this way companies that create durable or recyclable products enable consumers to think differently about their purchases which can help users behave more responsibly and thus may help end our throw way culture However it is not enough to inform consumers of the environmental features of products We also need to provide consumers with guidance to establish a practical lifestyle model to follow This cannot be brought about by regulations alone but by good business communities that would create a loyal group of sustainable consumers 66 According to the passage the key to going greener globally is A to provide enough information about sustainable products B to get the government involved in protecting the environment C to encourage consumers to make their efforts to live a green way D to require the companies produce environmentally friendly products 67 The author is trying to inform the readers in the third passage that A people are buying sustainable products to have a lighter carbon footprint B most European consumers lack confidence in making responsible choices C companies have done enough to allow consumers to make greener choices D companies can make a higher profit by making less carbon intensive products 68 Which of the fact is TRUE according to the passage A Households produce more than one third of city waste B 2 3 0f consumers know little about which products are greener C Green life style can reduce about 80 of environmental pressures D only 20 of companies are helping consumers behave responsibly 69 The author advises companies to in the time of crisis A reduce the cost of production B throw away old models C make more durable products D replace their products frequently 70 What does the author put emphasis on in the last paragraph A The quality of products B The honesty of companies C The government regulations D The importance of lifestyle D A public high school in the small rural town of Boonsboro Maryland offers a special program Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single sex classes for math science English and social studies The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy What we really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve here so that they re prepared for college She said They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations They also need to be involved in activities Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy His ninth grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting The novels they re reading now are very manly novels They re novels that deal with the arrogance 傲慢 of man and the pride of man One of those books for example is The Call of the Wild by Jack London This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada s Klondike Gold Rush On this day the students are working in small groups Vincent and Logan explain why they are drawing pictures that relate to the story Vincent said The main character Buck he gets abducted 绑架 and they send him off to the Yukon in a train So I m drawing part of the story where he s in the train It gets you to visualize the setting of the story and gets you to think more about what s going on in the story the important events of the story Instead of just doing work sheets about it this is a lot more fun Logan added happily 用心 爱心 专心7 Morgan Van Fleet is a senior at Boonsboro High She liked being in the Academy She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom To me it almost seems like it s hindering 妨碍 your chances at developing yourself because you re more focused on Oh I wish they d shut up Oh what do they think of me instead of focusing on what s the homework or what s g
