20."The more you learn,the more you earn,"said the pop singer Cyndi Lauper as she accepted her high school diploma(证书),at the age of 35!Although Cyndi made it without a high school degree,most people don't.In the USA today,about 75% of jobs need some education or technical training further than high school.The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees; college graduates outearn those without a college education.People with master's degrees(硕士学位)outearn those with only a bachelor (学士学位); and the highest incomes( 收入)of all are earned by people with advanced professional or academic degrees.These generalizations(普遍现象) explain why most of young Americans go to college.However,despite the averages,more diplomas don't always mean more money.Many skilled blue-collar(蓝领) workers,salespeople business executives(主管),and entrepreneurs outearn college professors and scientific researchers.And great athletes and entertainers outearn everyone else!

13.C.细节理解题.根据文章3到8行内容In the USA today,about 75% of jobs need some education or technical training further than high school.The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees; college graduates(毕业生) outearn those without a college education.People with master's degrees(硕士学位)outearn those with only a bachelor (学士学位); and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced professional or academic degrees说明学历越高,获得的酬劳越高,使用学生才要上大学,故C正确.
14.B.推理判断题.根据college graduates(毕业生) outearn those without a college education说明大学毕业生要比没有大学毕业的人挣钱要更多,故该词是指B项的意思.
15.D.细节理解题.根据文章最后一句And great athletes and entertainers outearn everyone else!说明伟大的运动员可能会比其他人挣更多的钱;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

Dear Li Ming,
I'm sorry to know that you feel distressed at your new class.One of the reasons,I believe,is that you might be too shy to talk confidently with your classmates and maybe you are afraid that your classmates will make fun of your accent.
I am sure,with your effort,you can manage to overcome these difficulties.In my opinion,learning to speak Putonghua and comparing notes with your classmates frequently are good ways for you to make new friends.In your spare time,you should play basketball or go to some parties.At last,I suggest that you should communicate with others confidently.As for me,I'll encourage more students to study and play with you.Also,I'll help you with your study and daily life.In a word,I'm ready to help you whenever you turn to me for help.
I hope you can adapt to the new school life as soon as possible.
Yours
Li Hua.

5.Western civilization has been deeply influenced by Greek Culture.Many words from Greek mythology (神话) contributed to English vocabulary today.Greek mythology tells of the myths of ancient Greece,concerning its gods,heroes and the nature of the world.It attempts to explain the origin of the world and the adventures and lives of the gods,heroes and natural creatures.The following words exactly come from Greek mythology.
Echo; Narcissus
Echo was a fairy (仙女).She got the punishment of saying nothing but repeat others,last sentence said to her because she kept talking and talking before.Echo fell in love with Narcissus,but she was refused.Narcissus told Echo never to fall in love with him.Depressed and heartbroken by the hopeless love,Echo died,leaving"I fall in love with you"echoing in the cave.Nemesis,the god of revenge,determined to punish Narcissus for his coldness by making Narcissus love his own reflection in water.Finding it impossible to get together with his image,Narcissus died with sadness and transformed into a daffodil (水仙花) by the riverside.
Daphne
Daphne,one daughter of a river-god,was shot by Cupid's lead arrow.Cupid,the god of love,shot a golden arrow at Apollo,the god of the sun,which made Apollo fall in love with Daphne.Crazily chased by Apollo,Daphne had no way to escape.However,Daphne was too shy to accept Apollo,so she begged to have her transformed into a laurel (月桂树).In English,Daphne refers to laurel.There also exists an idiom"as shy as Daphne".
Atlas
Atlas was one of the Greek gods.Because he offended (冒犯) Zeus,the ruler of Gods and men,Atlas was ordered to carry the sky cm his shoulder.A Belgium geographer used Atlas to name his collection of maps with the pictures of Atlas who was carrying the Earth in it.Later,people refer to Atlas as the collection of maps.

16.Which of the following is NOT the theme of Greek mythology?C
A.The origin of the world.
B.The nature of the world.
C.People's lives of ancient Greece.
D.The adventures and lives of the gods and heroes.
17.Why was Echo punished?B
A.Because she offended Zeus.
B.Because she talked too much.
C.Because she fell in love with Narcissus.

9.Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers,for food,for sport,and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care?Because we need animals.And because once they are gone,there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example,when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰),the farmers'stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why?Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers,the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily,some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly,the number of some animals in  danger is growing.

32.What is the best title for the passage?A
A.Save the Animals
B.Useful Animals
C.Laws for Animals
D.Animals in Danger
33.Animals are important to us mainly becauseC.
A.they give us a source of food
B.they are beautiful and lovely
C.they keep the balance of nature
D.they give us a lot of pleasure
34.What is the meaning of the underlined word"multiplied"in the passage?A
A.Became more.B.Became less.C.Turned black.D.Ate food.
35.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago
B.many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal
C.the number of hawks is on the decrease
D.animals play an important role in people's life.
