Then he fell on his knees before Arthur. “Father, please do not kneel before me. Tell me what you mean!” Arthur said with great confusion.“Listen, then,” said Sir Ector. “Years ago the wise magician, Merlin, carried a baby in his arms. That baby was you. Merlin told me to bring you up as my own son. Now I can guess. You must be the late king King Uthers son. Who else could have pulled out the sword? Arthur, we must let all England know you are qualified to be the new king.”“I would rather be your son than be a king!” cried Arthur.“On Christmas the Bishop(主教) will give everyone a chance to pull the sword. You must take your turn and show everyone that you are the only person who can pull the sword out.”On Christmas Day the great crowd of knights(骑士) and lords gathered before the church. They pulled and pushed, but no one could make the sword move.Down the street came Merlin. Behind him came Sir Ector with Arthur. “Who are these men?” asked the Bishop. “Here is one who will try the sword,” said Merlin. He laid his hand on Arthurs shoulder. “Here, lords of England, is the true son of King Uther!” Arthur stepped upon the stone and laid his hand on the sword. Smoothly and easily he pulled it out. He held it high so all could see.So Arthur became King of all England. Some of the lords did not want him, and he had to fight them. As the years went by, he became stronger and greater.

Do American children wear school uniforms? In fact, American schoolchildren often wear uniforms if they attend religious or other private schools. Most public schools do not require uniforms. But over the last ten years or so, more of them have moved in that direction, including high schools. Another option is that students may just have to dress alike for example, white shirts and dark colored pants or skirts. Even schools that do not require uniforms generally have a dress rule about what they consider acceptable. Schools commonly forbid clothing that shows images or words causing displeasure, or simply too much skin. Hats may be forbidden because, for example, different colors may be connected with bad guys.Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights. Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. Several years ago, a middle school was asked to stop its dress rule unless families had a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who had been punished by the school. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing policy, including no pictures of any kind, was needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that the policy went against free speech rights as protected by the United States and California constitutions.The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning. They believe that uniforms help create a sense of unity and reduce the risk of fights. They also say uniforms make it easier for security reasons to tell if someone belongs to the school or not.8. According to the passage there is a trend in the USA that _A. most public schools do not require uniformsB. most public schools move in the direction of requiring uniforms at churchC. most schools require the students to be dressed in white shirts and dark colored pantsD. more and more schools have a dress rule about what are suitable for schoolchildren9. Which of the following is NOT a reaction mentioned to the dress rule?A. Some parents like the rule which means they could spend less on clothing for the kids.B. Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.C. Some parents say that uniforms are an extra cost for them.D. Some others argue that uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.10. What is the girls problem?A. She brought her pet called Tigger to school.B. She put Tigger into her socks in class.C. She wore socks with pictures.D. She had a problem with some gangs.11. School dress requirements can benefit schools and students except to help _.A. the court protect student expressionB. students focus on their studiesC. make a united effort to avoid fightsD. strengthen campus security【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是关于美国学生穿校服的有关事宜。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中But over the last ten years or so, more of them have moved in that direction, including high schools. Another option is that students may just have to dress alike for example, white shirts and dark colored pants or skirts. Even schools that do not require uniforms generally have a dress rule about what they consider acceptable.“但在过去十年左右的时间里，他们中有更多的人朝这个方向迈进，包括高中。另一种选择是，学生们可能不得不穿得一样例如，白衬衫和深色裤子或裙子。即使学校不要求学生穿校服，一般也会对他们认为可以接受的校服有着装规定。”可知，根据这篇文章，在美国有一个趋势，越来越多的学校有了一个关于适合学生的着装规则。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.“一些家长喜欢校服的想法。一些人说，这意味着他们不必为孩子的衣服花太多钱。然而，另一些人则认为制服是不必要的花费。”第三段第一句There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.“也有关于制服或其他着装规则是否违反民权的争论。”可知，A/C/D项是对学校制服规则的反应，而B项Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.“一些家长认为这个规定与他们无关。”除外。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing policy, including no pictures of any kind, was needed to control a growing problem with gangs.“大多数注意力集中在一个女孩身上，她穿着袜子，和维尼熊里的跳跳虎角色在一起。学校表示，为了控制日益严重的帮派问题，学校的着装政策，包括禁止任何形式的照片，是必要的。”可知，这个女孩的问题是“她穿着印有照片的袜子。”故选C。11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning.“美国最高法院表示，学生的言论受到保护，只要不损害学校的工作和规则。但一些教育工作者认为，穿得像有助于提高学生的学习。”可知，学校着装要求可以使学校和学生受益，除了帮助法院保护学生的表达。故选A。【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第4小题，根据最后一段中The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning.“美国最高法院表示，学生的言论受到保护，只要不损害学校的工作和规则。但一些教育工作者认为，穿得像有助于提高学生的学习。”可知，学校着装要求可以使学校和学生受益，除了帮助法院保护学生的表达。故选A。DWhen one tried to unify gravity with quantum mechanics(量子力学), one had to introduce the idea of imaginary time. If one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn round and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. Yet there is a big difference between the forward and backward directions of real time in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor. If you take a film of this, you can easily tell whether it is being run forward or backward. You can tell that the film is being run backward because this kind of behavior is never observed in ordinary life.The explanation that is usually given as to why we dont see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that
