题型:不详难度:来源:
The U.S Department of Education released the scores in a report called The Nation’s Report Card (NAEP). This year, students earned the highest scores ever recorded on the math exam, which has been given since 1990.Fourth graders scored an average of 241.That is a one-point increase from 2009and a 28-point increase from 1990. Eighth graders made similar progress. Then average score this year was 284,up one point from 2009 and 21 points from 1990.
In reading, fourth graders scored an average of 221 points, the same average score since 2007.That score is four points above those from 1992, when the first reading test was given. Eighth graders scored an average of 265 points, up one point from 2009 and five points from 1992.
Education experts say reading is a harder subject to improve in the classroom than math. While math is largely learned in classrooms, reading results depend on how much kids read outside of school and how much they read in other subjects, such as history and science.
On the NAEP, math scores were the highest among students who have limited use of calculators(计算器) during math lessons, compared with students who have unlimited use or no use. Reading scores were the highest among students who said they read for fun on their own time almost every day.

Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard academic terms.
Each pupil will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with businesses linked to the school and teenagers will be assigned a personal coach to act as an academic “line manager”.
The reforms are put forward due to the fears that too many teenagers are now finishing full-time education lacking the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two-thirds of employers believe school and college leavers lack important “employability skills” such as customer awareness, while 55 per cent say they are unable to manage their time or daily tasks. And the number of NEETs has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or training place.
The Department for Education will announce the establishment of 12 studio schools -- meeting the need of around 3,600 teenagers -- in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stoke-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one, opening in 2012, will be linked to a series of local employers. Under plans, pupils will be able to transfer out of ordinary schools to attend them between the age of 14 and 19.
The Government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often designed with employers” -- with disciplines such as science being linked directly to local engineering firms or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give pupils a better understanding of the demands of the workplace. Along with their studies, pupils will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications linked directly to the needs of local employers.
小题1:According to the passage, the NEETs are referred to those who ________.
A.often miss classes from school |
B.refuse to take any kind of part-time jobs after school |
C.depend on their parents to find jobs after they graduate |
D.have no jobs without accepting education and work training |
A.interesting and lovely cartoons to make study easier |
B.chances to get future jobs with expert job training |
C.possibilities to make friends without going outside |
D.lessons helping them to be admitted to universities |
A.The determination to solve the problem of lacking workers. |
B.The doubt about whether full-time education is perfect. |
C.The worry about educated people lacking working skills. |
D.The increasing number of teens who drop out early. |
A.They can find suitable jobs earlier with good qualification. |
B.They will be admitted to top companies with received training. |
C.They needn’t go to university thanks to received training here. |
D.They may have more free time to find part-time jobs after school. |
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva(唾液)dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten. Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds(味蕾)present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly recognize the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50,000 different smells, which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils(瞳孔)do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can enlarge their pupils, change the focus and make their vision less clear.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except the twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this smell that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.
小题1:What may happen after you have had a rich lunch?
A.Your eyes become weak and can not see well. |
B.You may feel energetic and fresh. |
C.Your hearing pitch may be decreased. |
D.Your tongue may lose the function of taste. |
A.Our tongues can’t be dried while eating something. |
B.If your tongue is dried without any saliva on it, it will not work. |
C.A tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues. |
D.If your tongue is dried with a tissue paper, it may work as well as before. |
A.The number of sensory organs. |
B.The functions of sensory organs. |
C.The particular smell of a person. |
D.The style of one’s behavior. |
A.The Sensitivity of Sensory Organs |
B.The Functions and Connections of Sensory Organs |
C.A Newborn’s Sensory Organs |
D.Different Senses Between Men and Woman |
He became interested in the idea of sanitation(卫生设施) after taking part in a research project on the social and political development of cities, One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets, He wanted to do something to help, So working with others, he started the project in 2005, and the next year started a company called Peepoolple.
The toilet is a single—use bag made of environmentally friendly plastics, The inside is treated with urea (尿素), a chemical commonly used as fertilizer, The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants The sanitation process can be as soon as a couple of hours or as long as two to four weeks ,You can just bury it in a pot and grow whatever you like.
The company expects to start selling the bags in August in Kenya and Bangladesh, But it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now , Full production could reach about half a million bags a day and people may be able to buy the pee-pool in countries Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc.
The United Nations says more than two and a half billion people around the world do not have good sanitation ,Many have no choice but to use the outdoors, which is not only bad for the environment ,but also harmful to people’s health, Each year, poor sanitation leads to three fifths of those people getting an infectious disease which on average causes one out of 1,000 patients to die.
Jack Smith ,the founder of the World Toilet Organization ,says “This is quite an unacceptable situation given the fact that we are living in the modem world , And strangely, many of them own televisions ,phones but have no toilet.”

Kids reflexively(条件反射地)shout down in the face of a lecture , Their eyes glaze over(呆滞),and they don’t register any incoming information , Listen to 13-year –old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad, “First, they scream, Then comes the“We’re so disappointed’ speech , Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins , After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back’”.
Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial, But many of our expert parents, like Bobby , a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on cliches(陈词滥调)to justify our actions, we weaken our position.
Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them, Therefore ,good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language:‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions(监护)”。
Betty, who lives in Missouri ,uses and indirect approach, “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about, My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information, Then they never think I’m preaching(布道)”.
This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving , Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed”, She would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash, Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation, She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions—especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to
A.compare two ways of parents’ communicating with their kids |
B.give parents advice on how to communicate with their kids |
C.explain why kids won’t listen to their parents |

C.Some kids think their parents should apologize when they are wrong |
D.Kids don’t like any discussion at all. |
A.独白 | B.对话 | C.插话 | D.讨论 |
A.Parents own experience |
B.Kids possible life in the future |
C.Something related to kids’ present life |
D.What parents have done to their own parents |
A.tell their kids to listen carefully |
B.set out their warnings directly |

Twelve-year-old Amanda thinks it’s to save and not blow your money right away “ so you can other things”.
When it comes to credit cards, eight-year-old Jeremie says when the monthly comes in “ you sign it and then you give it back” ---leaving out the part about actually it.
These kids are far away from the working world, but the ideas they’re forming about could affect how much they save, how they use credit cards and how much debt they finally take on in later life.
High school business teacher Jeff Balch said his students had knowledge about money other than spending. “ They don’t know most things because talks to them about them---as in their parents,” said Balch, “The discussions tend to be in terms of kids too much money, but no one tells them why, where their money goes.
Mitch Murphy said students’ message to the task force was to “ make it ”. “ It may be difficult to have a 14-or 15-year-old student get too about retirement planning, ” Murphy said, “ But if you want to talk about a cellphone contract or a debt card,they will be engaged in.” Murphy said learning financial literacy (能力) , well getting into the work force, should stay with Canadians for life and the country as a result.
Sandra Martin said children can start learning about money when they learn to . “ Sit down with the flyers and look at how much things cost,” Martin said. Babysitting and birthday money could be and there would be a(n) as to how much could be debited(借) every month, she said.
“ The reality is that we’re not spending with cash anymore. If you’re always in of your child’s money, then they’re never going to learn what it means to save for something that’s .”
Balch said he tries to make his students realize the differences between needs, wants and priorities(优先权). If they haven’t learned self-control and if they haven’t learned how to money, they can easily spiral(螺旋上升) out of control.
