Each high school has its own policy. One good example is that some high schools require all students to wear uniforms, while others do not. I have been to both types of schools, and if I have to decide which one is better, I will pick the former.
Perhaps every student has this experience: once you are in your school uniforms, you will care more about your own behavior. Uniforms give you an identity that always reminds that you belong to a group. What you do will not only represent yourself, but also the group you belong to, as well as the people with you. In other words, you carry the responsibility to maintain the honor of the group. When you are in your own clothes, it doesn’t matter for you to behave badly in public, but when in your uniform, it does. For high school students, who are not adults yet, this is a good way to shape their behavior.
Moreover, uniforms create an atmosphere of equality. While permitted to wear their won clothes, students may pay much attention to what they wear, in order to show how rich their families are. While in uniforms, all students, rich or poor, look the same, and will be treated equally.
Besides, free from the desires to gain what is new in the shopping mall, wearing uniforms helps students to concentrate on their study.
For all the reasons above, I believe that it is a better choice for high school students to wear uniforms.  They can wear them after school or on weekends.
小题1:According to the author, high schools that require students to wear uniforms______.
A.are more attractive to students
B. are more strict with students
C. carry out a better policy
D. admit more excellent students.
小题2:How many reasons does the author give to support his or her ideas?
A.twoB.threeC.fourD.five
小题3:According to Paragraph 2, wearing uniforms helps students_______.
A.focus on their study
B.become responsible
C.build up their confidence
D.find the group they belong to
小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A wise choice, to wear school uniform
B.An honor, to wear your school uniform
C.A difficult choice, in school uniform or not?
D.A difficult choice, which school should we pick?

解析

本文是一篇议论文。作者主张中学最好要求学生上学统一穿校服。
小题1:作者态度判断题。作者在第一段说要求学生穿校服和不要求学生穿校服的两种中学“我”都去过。如果要“我”说哪一种学校的政策更好,我会选择前者。由此判断C项正确。从中不能以偏盖全的判断校规或无根据的判断招生情况,故排除B,D项。
小题2:全文为“总---分----总“结构。作者首先阐述了自己的观点,然后从三个方面加以论证:穿校服有助于塑造学生行为;营造一种平等的氛围;可以使学生全身心的投入学习。最后一段作者再次声明自己的观点。
小题3:细节理解题。第二段在论述之后,有一句总结;In other words,you carry the responsibility to maintain the honor of the group。由此判断B项正确。
小题4:归纳标题题。作者在首尾段均提出自己的观点:要求学生穿校服是一种更好的选择,首尾呼应,中间三段陈述理由,进行论证。故A项做标题最佳。

举一反三

We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively(被动地). We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.
That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
小题1:According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
A.doing a medical experimentB.solving a math problem
C.visiting an exhibitionD.doing scientific reasoning
小题2:The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A.active learningB.knowledge C.communicationD.passive learning
小题3:The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
A.a message may be changed when being passed on
B.a message should be delivered in different ways
C.people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliable.
C.Active learning occurs more frequently.
D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.

As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
小题1:The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _______.
A.spend their free timeB.play gold and other sports
C.avoid doing their schoolworkD.keep away from their parents
小题2:What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.The activities in the woods were well planned.
B.Human history is not the result of exploration.
C.Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D.The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
小题3: The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.calmB.doubtfulC.seriousD.optimistic
小题4: How does the author feel about his childhood?
A.Happy but short.B.Lonely but memorable.
C.Boring and meaningless.D.Long and unforgettable.

Why do women earn less than men?
Women earn less than men. For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged women and men. It is also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers in an industry who are women, the lower the average wages.
Why do women earn less than men? Are the differences explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene, to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. however, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background which is shown in the difference in the marginal product between men and women.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline. An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor input demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.
小题1:The difference in labor incomes is most obvious between _______.
A.young men and young women
B.young women in the same industry
C.middle-aged men and middle-aged women
D.middle-aged women in the same industry

A.women are less experienced than men
B.women are only provided with low-paying jobs
C.women have much freedom in selecting their jobs
D.there is more than enough women in the labor force
小题3:Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph?
A.Women receive less education than men.
B.Women are not as productive as men.
C.Levels of education are closely related to productivity.
D.Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.
小题4:What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?
A.To ensure equal pay for women.
B.To explain why women are paid less.
C.To force employers to hire more women.
D.No solution is clearly suggested.
小题5:What would happen if women’s wages were raised?
A.Input of capital would be increased.
B.The unemployment rate would go up.
C.Those that have jobs would become better off.
D.Women as a group would earn more than before.
