3.There is a 9-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden,there is a puddle (一滩水) between his feet and the front of his pants are wet.He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened.It's never happened before,and he knows that when the boys find out they will never let him forget it.When the girls find out,they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop.He puts his head down and prays:"This is an emergency!I need help now!Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer,and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him,a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.Susie trips in front of the teacher and spills the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry,but all the while is saying to himself."Thank God!"
Now all of a sudden,instead of being made fun of,the boy gets sympathy.The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out.All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.The sympathy is wonderful.But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else-Susie.She tries to help,but they tell her to get out."You've done enough!"
Finally,at the end of the day,as they are waiting for the bus,the boy walks over to Susie and whispers:"You did that on purpose,didn't you?"Susie whispers back:"I wet my pants once too."
24.What is the boy's reaction to this incident at first?C
A.He is calm but worried.
B.He thinks he is going to die.
C.He is afraid and embarrassed.
D.He prays and asks for help from his teacher.
25.The underlined word"sympathy"probably meansA.
A.care          B.cheating
C.belief         D.contribution
26.After Susie spills the bowl of water in the boy's lap,D.
A.other students ask Susie for help and yell at her
B.the teacher sends the boy downstairs to clean up around his desk
C.the little boy becomes really angry and runs away to change his clothes
D.the little boy is saved from embarrassment and gains others'sympathy
27.From the story,we can conclude thatD.
A.all the children feel wonderful about being able to help
B.the teacher does not know what actually happened to the little boy
C.Susie spends a long time coming up with a plan to help the little boy
D.Susie is kindhearted and still tries to help even though she is ridiculed.

分析 本文为记叙文,讲述了一个小女孩故意把水泼到一个尿了裤子的小男孩身上,从而让他避免了尴尬的故事.

解答 24.C 由第一段He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened.可知小男孩非常害怕,他从来没遇到过这种情况.接下来两句可以看出如果班里其他人发现了,会让他难堪一辈子.故答案选C,小男孩又害怕,又尴尬.
25.A 由第六段第一句Now all of a sudden,instead of being made fun of,the boy gets sympathy.可知,sympathy是being made fun of(被嘲笑)的反面.接下来老师让他赶紧去换裤子,大家七手八脚地帮忙打扫.他觉得sympathy真是太棒了.推断sympathy是关心,同情,选A.
26.D 从第六段可知,大家没有嘲笑他,反而觉得他很可怜,都去帮他打扫,大家都责怪Susie,觉得她太冒失了,犯了这么大的错.因此答案选D.
27.D 由第六段But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else-Susie.She tries to help,but they tell her to get out.以及最后一段Susie告诉小男孩事实的真相可知,她非常善良,即使被大家数落也还是想帮忙,选D.

3.Some US parents are sad that their high school children score badly in math,science and reading compared to kids in other countries.
There has been an endless series of mostly fruitless education reforms to address this gap.Now comes an approach based on the insights (观念)of a group of US exchange students.They spent a year in some of the most successful high schools in the world-in Finland,Poland and South Korea.
Author and journalist Amanda Ripley followed three exchange students for her new book.The Smartest Kids in the World-and How They Got That Way.She argues that to improve academics.US schools should de-emphasize sports.
Instead,students should bring their passion and intensity (专注) to academics she concludes.
"High school in Finland,Korea and Poland had a purpose,just like high school football practice in America,"she writes."There was a big,important contest at the end,and the score counted."
Sports are a distraction,Ripley argues,and most countries require them to take place outside of school.
Trading in US school sports culture would be a huge change for people in the US,who respect teamwork and sportsmanship as training for life.But playing down sports could pay off,as it has elsewhere,if we redirect money,focus and glory to learning.
Ripley is critical of memorization in South Korean education,but she praises the system's high goals and the freedom its students have to fail and recover through hard work.
Too often,we don't ask teachers to give our kids harder assignments and we're quick to complain about a failing grade.What's working elsewhere is to set ambitious goals for kids,and then allow them to discover that they have it within themselves to reclaim (重获)success from failure.
Each of the countries in Smartest Kids came to education reform after an economic crisis.Finland was losing jobs after graduating just 10percent of its teens from high school in the 1950s.Today,the graduation rate is 95percent.Poland's wakeup came in 1999,as students consistently tested below average in reading.
We've tried so many"reforms"in education.Maybe what we need is a in truly radical(激进的) shift away from sports in favor of schooling.

55.According to Amanda Ripley,to reform the American education system,people shouldB.
A.ask teachers to give students more homework
B.make sports less important at school
C.let American students experience failure at school
D.encourage parents to help their kids with math,science and reading
56.Which of the following statements about education in South Korea is TRUE according to the article?B
A.The memorization skills of South Korean students are the key to their academic success.
B.High academic scores are considered an important measure of education quality in South Korea.
C.South Korean teachers emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship as much as American teachers do.
D.South Korea started education reforms in the 1950s to improve students'reading skills.
57.The underlined phrase"trading in"probably meansB.
A.giving up (something) for something else
B.exchanging (something) for something else
C.ignoring
D.looking into
58.What is the author's attitude toward education reform in US high schools?D.
A.Indifferent.B.Puzzled.C.Satisfied.D.Supportive.

10.For lots of people in Britain,the 31st of December,or New Year's Eve as we call it,is the biggest party of the year.It's a time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year.New Year's Eve parties can take place at a number of different places.Some people hold a house party; others attend street parties,while some just go to their local for a few drinks with their mates.Big cities,like London,have large and wonderful fireworks shows.
There's one thing that all New Year's Eve parties have in common:the countdown(倒计时) to midnight.When the clock strikes(敲)twelve,people give a loud cheer,and give each other a kiss.They then link arms and sing a song called Auld Lang Syne,by a Scottish poet called Robert Burns.Not many people can remember all the words of the song,but the tune(旋律) is well known,so lots of people just hum along.The parties then continue into the early hours of the morning with lots of dancing and drinking.Other people might spend the day visiting relatives or friends they haven't managed to catch up with for a while.Whatever happens,New Year's Day tends to be very relaxed.
In Britain,it's popular to make a promise to yourself about something you are going to do,or want to stop doing,in the New Year.This is called a New Year's resolution.Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and joining a gym to get fit.However,the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.
New Year's Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season,which means most people have to go to work the next day:bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead!

7.
A.Heavy pressure on airlines
B.airlines'worrying situation and future
C.inevitable fuel costs
D.impossible cheap flights
E.low-cost airlines'ways to keep fares low
F.Ryanair's new policy
76.D
British travelers already thinking twice about flying to Europe this summer because of the falling value of the pound received more bad news yesterday with indications that the era of cheap flights may be drawing to an end.
77.A
Soaring fuel costs have put airlines under financial pressure which,analysts say,will inevitably be passed on to passengers through increased ticket prices,fuel surcharges and baggage check-in fees.The warnings follow a wave of air line bankruptcies in the UK and the US,and the pressure on the airlines has been most acute this year as the global oil price rose from  80 a barrel to nearly 120.
78.F
Ryanair became the latest airline to pass that pain on to customers yesterday when it raised the cost of putting bags in the hold and checking in at airports.Passengers on Europe's largest budget carrier will have to pay 16 a bag and 8 to use a check-in desk on return journeys from Monday.Fuel accounts for a quarter of airline budgets and the resulting financial,squeeze has triggered warnings that major carriers could go to the wall or be forced to merge with rivals to survive.Ryanair is trying to play down its latest charge increases because it is the second time Ryanair has raised baggage costs this year to cover the rising cost of fuel,which is expected to account for nearly half of its costs next year.
79.E
"Their earnings are greatly affected by the fuel price,so they need to do everything they possibly can to alleviate that cost pressure,"said Andrew Lohbenberg,an analyst at ABN Amro,"But low-cost airlines refuse to impose them,instead preferring to cover their costs through add-on charges for checking in,in-flight food and car rental deals."
80.B
However,industry experts say higher bag check-in costs are inevitable if the cost of oil stays around its current level.Ryanair and low-cost rival Easy Jet will try to leave fares untouched,because cheap tickets are the key part of a no-frills(不提供不必要的服务)business model that uses bargain fares to pack passengers on to airplanes and then making profits from them with add-ons (附加物)."They cannot afford to raise fares.It would break their model."said Strickland."Occupancy would fall and they will not make enough money to cover increased fuel costs."Ryanair has already warned that profits could fall by as much as 50% this year due to the fuel situation,while Easy Jet shares were hit recently when it said it would miss its full-year profit targets if fuel stayed at the current price.
The threat to the industry is at its most serious since the incident of September 11,analysts have warned.The global airline industry is barely profitable.

8.A son in many developing countries means insurance,who will inherit his father's property and help support the family.However,to parents,a daughter is just another expense.Her place is in the home,not in the world of men.A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy.Her future is,to some extent,shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater,which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.
Deep discrimination (歧视)against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential.It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm.These"servants of the household"come to accept that life will never be any different.What's most harmful,it results not only in millions of individual tragedies,but also in the lost potential for the entire country.Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress.The status of women is central to the health of a society.If one part suffers,so does the whole.
To deal with the situation,many women turn to education.Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination,starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women.Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia,for instance,are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.
Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later,survive childbirth,have fewer and healthier children,and make sure their own children complete school.Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生)and nutrition,they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.
Nevertheless,the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education.As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs,they gain status in their communities,which translates into the power to influence their families and societies.Such power may,together with other forces of outside interference,make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries.
 
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries?
Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater
82.The most severe result of discrimination against women isthe lost potential for the entire country
83.Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy?
Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition
84.High social position at home helps women to have the ability toinfluence their families and societies.
