33、hen I began learning English, I thought all I had to do was to 31 new words.

When I was 33 to say “I see many books on the 34 ” and “I am going to see the doctor”, I thought I

34、had learned everything about the word see. I did not 35 until later that we do not say “see a book or newspaper” but “read a book or newspaper” when we mean “look at and understand something 36 or printed”.

42、 the last decade, is still the subject of debate among educators and psychologists. It has come under renewed scrutiny (仔细观察) after a string of headline-grabbing tragedies involving families who taught their children at home.Is it a practice that allows children to reach their fullest potential, awa

43、y from the distractions of other children and freed from the shackles of an education system that sometimes seems to seek the lowest common denominator (共同点)? Or does it harm children socially, unnaturally withdrawing them from their friends?The answer would seem to fall somewhere in between. “Its p

44、robably not true in the extreme that children who are home-schooled cant socialize thats just intuitively not true,” said a project development manager. “But what theyre missing out on is the culture of childhood as most people know it in America.”The reasons parents keep their kids out of school ar

45、e less clear. According to a study, quality of education is the primary concern for these parents, with religious reasons coming in second. The NHERI, which conducts annual studies of home schooling, again came up with a different picture.Most home-schoolers are kept out of the system because of the

46、ir parents belief system, and 75 percent to 80 percent of people who home-school “would self-identify as Bible-believing Christians,” said Brian Ray of the NHERI. Though he said that not all of those people would say their religion was the primary reason for keeping their children out of school, the

47、 institutes studies have found home schooling to be “disproportionately faith-centered.”51. This passage mainly discusses . A. advantages and disadvantages of home schooling B. the increasing trend of home schooling C. the different opinions on home schooling D. parents religious reason for keeping

48、their children out of school 52. According to the passage, we can predict that .

Wh

49、at is the parents main concern for home schooling? A. The education of religious belief. B. The quality of school education. C. Home schooling can free their children from the shackles of an education system. D. It is a common practice to keep children at home for their education. 54. What is the au

50、thors attitude toward this passage? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Compromising. D. Subjective.55. The word “boom” (Line 1, Para. 1) probably means “ ”. A. discovered B. phenomenon C. diversity D. sudden increasePassage TwoLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases

51、that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music,” it does not mean hes planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by you

52、r boss to explain why you did this and that, and why you didnt do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” It is only that we d

53、id not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is more than 150 years old. And where did this expression come from? One of the explanations comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851,

54、 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, its time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they didfacing the orchestra (交响团) which was just below them. An actor might be frightened or n

55、ervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile (不友好的), especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” comes to mean, “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you know you have no other choi
