Please write down the answers on the Answer Sheet. Please write down the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 1620 are based on the following passage:As we know, if we want to keep our healthy and have a strong body, our eating habits are very important in our daily life. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Actually, sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. Meanwhile, it is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it shows that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasnt telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. He loses his appetite and does not want to eat anything if he is worrying something.16. We have to develop good eating habits because _.A) we want to be healthy and strong B) we want to enjoy our foodC) we want to eat more D) we want to save time17. _ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A) Either meat or rice B) Neither sweets nor ice creamC) Not only meat but also rice D) Both sweets and ice cream18. We had better have our meals _.A) when our work is over B) at the same time each dayC) when the meal is still hot D) when we go back home19. A man who is angry has _.A) a better appetite B) to eat more foodC) a poor appetite D) to eat nothing20. The judges in old England considered that a man could _ if he didnt tell a truth.A) swallow dry bread easily B) eat a lot of dry breadC) drink milk or hot water D) hardly swallow dry breadQuestions 2125 are based on the following passage:A couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day.Teachings the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, “Teacher Man,” Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, “Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses.” Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin(下巴) in my hand any time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk.The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage(抵押贷款)and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的)hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills.According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it. This isnt any business. Its the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race.Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and its a terrible fit. Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay(奖励工资).Its a concept that works fine if youre making toys, but kids arent toys, and good teaching isnt an assembly line.21. What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers?A. They have to teach three classes at a time.B. They have a very rewarding job.C. They prefer to teach children from middle-class families.D. They have a very hard job to do.22. Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column?A. Teaching is like working on docks and warehouses.B. Teaching demands full attention.C. Teachers have to work with children.D. Teachers have no chance to go traveling.23. What do new teachers find out after some practice?A. Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations.B. They have to work during vacations to make ends meet.C. They have to plan their time well to get everything done.D. They can take a second or even a third job besides teaching.24. We can infer from the 4th paragraph that the author thinks .A. measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobs.B. the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupationsC. its natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five years.D. its fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race.25. What does the author think of merit pay?A. It will make up for teachers low starting salaries.B. It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers.C. It is a good fix for current educational problems.D. It is not suitable for the teaching profession.
