President Obama,s plan last week to overhaul(改善)former president George W.Bush’s No Child left Behind program is an improvement on a good thin9.But it doesn’t go far enough.
Obama outlined a goal that by 2020,all grade school and high school students ale on a path toward college and career readiness.
However, what we need is a practical plan that not only requires all high school graduates to take at least two years of college but also makes it financially possible for them to do so. We’ve provided a free public education through the l2th grade.If we’re going to keep up—or catch up—with some other countries(1ike China)in preparing young people for careers,a 12-year education program no longer is enough.
About 3 million students across the USA will graduate from high school this spring. But only 2 million will go on to college, according to a survey by the National Center for Education Statistics(NCFES).For the more than l million who won’t go on,money is a major factor.If tuition(学费)were free,about half of them could make up other COSTS from family or part—time jobs.
Critics(批评家)of free college tuition will say we can’t afford it because of the federal deficit(联邦赤字)and other rising costs.Let’s see some government spending in detail:
In the last nearly 10 years.the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost us $1 trillion(that’s $1,000 billion,or an average of$100 billion a year).Federal money spent on public elementary and secondary education in the last year for which figures are available was$47 billion.If we end costly and unnecessary wars and nation—building efforts abroad,the federal government could provide more money on public education,for which state and local governments now carry most of the burden(负担).
According to President Obama’s plan,in 10 years, .
A.there will be no expensive and unnecessary Wars
B.all grade and high school students can go to college
C.the U.S.will catch up with China in career preparation
D.students Call enjoy a l2-year public free education
If tuition were not charged.
A.about 2.5 million students could afford college education
B.about 2 million students could be provided chances of college education
C.over l million students still could not afford college education
D.about 3 million students could graduate from high school
The author may agree that President Obama’s plan
A.has little to do with Gorge W.Bush’s program
B. does not agree with the survey by NCFES
C.does not contain practical measures to achieve its goal
D.will lighten the burden of state and local governments
It can be inferred from the passage that
A.the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are expensive but necessary
B.the federal Can not provide more money on education
C,critics of free college tuition think little of the plan
D.President Obama’s plan might be hard to carry out

科目:高中英语 来源:2011届江苏省高三三校(海安,金陵,南京外国语)联考英语试卷 题型:阅读理解
Lots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.
A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.
If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.
Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.
What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.
But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.
Being interested in why we are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.
【小题1】 This text is most probably taken from __________.
A.a research paper | B.a course schedule |
C.a personal letter | D.a book review |
A.Philosophical questions are as interesting as collecting stamps. |
B.Thinking about philosophical questions is a serious interest. |
C.Figuring out who we are and why we are here is man’s basic needs. |
D.Philosophy has universal appeal and concerns everybody in nature. |
A.no existing subject can interest everyone in the world |
B.different people may have different interests and concerns |
C.everyone has to figure out who we are and why we are here |
D.people in modern society pay more attention to philosophical questions |

科目:高中英语 来源:2010-2011学年四川省成都市高三第二次诊断性检测英语卷 题型:阅读理解
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the “best seller” lists with a sale of up to 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70
million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind “quiz” or “game” shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show’s producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn’t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal(丑闻). Based on the show off, a movie titled “Quiz Show” is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren’t taken seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating(羞辱) them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.
1.What is the most important thing as to television?
A. How many viewers they can attract B. Becoming the best seller on the list
C. How much money can be given away D. The number of people attending shows
2.What does the underlined part “pulling the strings” probably mean?
A. Planning the shows with effort B. Drawing the curtain on the stage
C. Controlling the result secretly D. Playing “quiz” or “game” openly
3.Charles Van Doren stopped his career as a television personality because ________.
A. he had earned enough wealth and fame.
B. one of the participants had told the truth
C. the film “Quiz Show” was being shown
D. his frequent appearance had bored the audience
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. TV Game Shows are more popular than before.
B. the scandal was not made known until 40 years later
C. getting money is the only purpose of people taking part in shows
D. people can make themselves famous by taking part in shows
