【题目】 New Mexico has announced a plan to make public colleges and universities free for all people in the state, a Proposal considered one of the most ambitious attempts in education these years.
The plan, if approved, would allow students, regardless of household income, to attend any of the 29 states public colleges and universities. State officials estimate that the program, officially called the New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship, will help 55,000 students each year attend college.
Calling the plan “the moonshot for higher education,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle LujanGrisham announced it on Wednesday at the New Mexico Higher Education Summit in Albuquerque. “It means better enrollment (注册). It means better students' success. In the long run, it means economic growth, improved outcomes for New Mexico workers and thinkers and parents,” Lujan Grisham said, “It means a better trained workforce.”
Twenty other states have set up tuition free education programs for two-year community colleges. And New York created a scholarship program to allow students to go to public colleges and universities without paying tuition. But there are household income requirements and other rules, including that receivers live and work in New York for several years after graduating. The New Mexico proposal has no such restrictions. And some experts wonder if the lack of program regulations is one of its disadvantages.
Wil Del Pilar, the vice president for higher education at The Education Trust, said there is a risk that wealthier students will benefit the most in the program, since there are no income requirements. “When you have limited state dollars, I would argue that we should target those dollars toward those who struggle the most to pay,” Del Pilar told NPR.
Like the New York s scholarship program, New Mexico's covers just tuition, not other living costs. To Del Pilar that is a problem. He said the promise of free college takes more than eliminating (取消) tuition. Paying for housing, meals, books and transportation are still challenges for many low-income students, he said.
【1】What's the purpose of the New Mexico plan?
A.To reform the system of education.
B.To improve the quality of education.
C.To attract more students around the world.
D.To make higher education more accessible.
【2】What was Lujan Grisham’s attitude towards the New Mexico plan?
A.A little doubtful.B.A little confused.
C.Full of curiosity.D.Full of confidence.
【3】Compared with the New Mexico plan, the New York program .
A.has fewer restrictionsB.benefits more students
C.has more requirementsD.covers more living costs
【4】What is the problem with the New Mexico plan according to Del Pilar?
A.It is limited to tuition.B.It doesn't include tuition.
C.It opens to all college students.D.It's only available to poor students.

本文是一篇说明文。美国新墨西哥州最近宣布,该州所有公立大学将为该州学生提供免费教育,目的是为了普及高等教育。同时说明了不同的人对此政策的看法和态度。
【1】推理判断题。根据第二段中State officials estimate that the program, officially called the New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship, will help 55,000 students each year attend college.可知,州政府官员估计,这个正式名称为“新墨西哥机会奖学金”的项目每年将帮助5万5千名学生上大学。由此可推知,新墨西哥州的计划是该州所有公立大学将为本州的学生提供免费教育,目的是为了使高等教育更加普及。故选D。
【2】推理判断题。根据第三段中“It means better enrollment. It means better students' success. In thelong run, it means economic growth, improved outcomes for New Mexico workers and thinkers and parents,” Lujan Grisham said, “It means a better trained workforce.”可知,“这意味着更好的入学率。它意味着更好的学生的成功。从长远来看,这意味着经济增长,改善新墨西哥州工人、思想家和家长的成果,”Lujan Grisham说,“这意味着受过更好培训的劳动力。”Lujan Grisham列举了新墨西哥州的大学免费计划将带来的种种好处。由此可推知,Grisham对新墨西哥计划充满信心。故选D。
【3】细节理解题。根据第四段中But there are household income requirements and other rules, including that receivers live and work in New York for several years after graduating. The New Mexico proposal has no such restrictions.可知,但也有家庭收入要求和其他规定,包括接受人毕业后必须在纽约工作和生活几年。新墨西哥州的提案没有这样的限制。由此可知,比起新墨西哥州的计划来,纽约的奖学金计划有更多的条件和限制。故选C。
【4】细节理解题。根据最后一段中Like the New York s scholarship program, New Mexico's covers just tuition, not other living costs. To Del Pilar that is a problem.可知,和纽约的奖学金项目一样,新墨西哥州的奖学金只包括学费,不包括其他生活费用。对Del Pilar来说,这是个问题。由此可知,DeI Pilar认为,新墨西哥州的免费计划的问题在于仅仅只包括了学费这一项。故选A。
态度、观点及感受类推理判断题。高考阅读理解题中有些题目考查考生对文章作者的思想、人物性格倾向等方面的理解。对于判断情感态度类题目,考生需要分析段落大意、作者的思路,理解了文章的段落大意、中心思想后,才能判断出作者的情感态度。学会辨别清楚文章的体裁。如第二小题,根据第三段中“It means better enrollment. It means better students' success. In thelong run, it means economic growth, improved outcomes for New Mexico workers and thinkers and parents,” Lujan Grisham said, “It means a better trained workforce.”可知,“这意味着更好的入学率。它意味着更好的学生的成功。从长远来看,这意味着经济增长,改善新墨西哥州工人、思想家和家长的成果,”Lujan Grisham说,“这意味着受过更好培训的劳动力。”Lujan Grisham列举了新墨西哥州的大学免费计划将带来的种种好处。由此可推知,Grisham对新墨西哥计划充满信心。故选D。

【题目】The decade of the “young old” begins
The year 2020 will mark the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”,【1】. The height of the baby boom, the period of high fertility in rich countries after the second world war, was 1955-60. one might therefore expect peak retirement for baby-boomers in the coming years — except that they are not retiring. By continuing to work, and staying socially engaged, the boomers, in their new guise as the young old, will change the world.
【2】: of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health.
【3】: between 1989 and 2013, the median wealth of families headed by someone over 62 in America rose by 40% to $210,000, while the wealth of all other age groups declined. The over-60s are vital to the tourism industry because they spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than younger adults.
【4】. In 2016 just over a fifth of people aged 65-69 were in work in rich countries, a figure that is rising fast. Many bosses and HR departments think productivity falls with age, but a German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive decline associated with old age and have a cognitive capacity of someone a year and a half younger.
【5】. They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as people who wear slippers and look after the grandchildren.
A. The yold are also better off
B. In short, the yold are not just any group of old people
C. The yold are both young and old
D. as the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75
E. Health worsens with age, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most

G. The yold can’t resist aging
