Thats a TeacherMrs. Blake teaches English in a large school in the inner area of a big city on the west coast. Even since she was a young girl, she has wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasnt changed her mind. After she graduated from high school, she went on to college. Four years later, she received her bachelors degree (BA) in English and her teaching certificate(证书). Then she went to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers, Mrs. Blake takes more classes; she hopes to get a masters degree (MA). With an MA, she will receive a higher salary and if possible, she hopes to get a doctors degree as well. The school day at Mrs. Blakes high school, like that in many high schools in the United States, is divided into one hour each. Mrs. Blake must teach five of these periods. During her free period, which for her is from 2 to 3 P.M, Mrs. Blake must meet with parents, make our examinations, and check assignments. Mrs. Blake works continuously from the time she arrives at school in the morning till the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.16. How long is it since Mrs. Blake graduated from high school? A. four yearsB. eight yearsC. twenty yearsD. twelve years 17. According to the article, which is the right order of the degrees received in education? A. a bachelors degree a masters degree a doctors degree B. a doctors degree a bachelors degree a masters degreeC. a masters degree a bachelors degree a doctors degree D. a bachelors degree a doctors degree a masters degree18. Which of the following sentences is not true? A. Mrs. Blake has turned her wish of becoming a teacher into reality. B. Mrs. Blake is still studying in her holidays in order to get higher degrees. C. Mrs. Blake teaches in the inner area of big city on the east of the United States.D. The working hours are similar to those of many other high schools in the states.BThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.19Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that _. A. they have beautiful colors and cool names B. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sports D. they are said to be helpful to health20The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with _.A. encouraged B. stopped C. helped D. disliked21From the passage we can know that _.A. colors and names are important in getting people to buy energy drinks B. energy drinks are helpful to teenagers studyC. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinks D. energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagers22Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? _ A. Whats the Use of Energy Drinks? B. Who Can Drink Energy Drinks?C. Whats that in Energy Drinks? D. Why Cant We Buy Energy Drinks? CFor better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia (近视). An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.The research team found that the prevalence (流行) of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.Jane Gwiazda, who does research in sight problems, says “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”Many doctors suggest that every child gets its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students eyes.If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.23Whats the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?A. To find the ways to treat myopia. B. To find the reasons for myopia.C. To prove the bad effects of myopia. D. To prove the prevalence of myopia.24Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than in Singapore ? A. Because Sydney children watch less TV.B. Because Sydney children have more eye resting time.C. Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.D. Because Sydney children use computers less.25What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?A. Sydney children dont study hard. B. Singapore children do few exercises.C. Room light does harm to childrens eyes.D. Outdoor activities do more good to eyes.26Which of the following statements is TRUE ? A. Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age.B. Doing outdoor activities with no glasses is good for myopia children.C. Children should limit their time in the sun in order to protect their eyes. D. Focusing on distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape. DIn most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance .of continuing their studies at a university or college.Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelors degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhDMost university courses dont train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career（职业）, such as clothing design, or business studies.27. The passage mainly tells us_.A Something about the private schools in developed countriesB. How developed countries pay attention to educationC. Some general information about education in developed countriesD. Why education is important28. Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?A. Because the children don t have money to go to school.B. Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.C. Because education doesnt cost the country too much money.D. Because there are not enough private schools.29. In the first paragraph the underlined word “citizens” refer to_.A. the cities B. members of a country C. the children D. people who lives in cities30.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A. All the university students study one subject.B. After studying at the university for three or four years, all the students can get a Bachelors degree.C. Students usually receive a masters degree before receiving a Bachelors degree.D. Unlike university, colleges usually teach students some useful skills for a career.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。【如选E，请同时填涂AB；选F，则同时涂CD；选G，则同时涂AC】ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue（美德）, but no one has ever said it is easy.
