Dear Colleagues,
It is no secret that we are in the midst of one of the worst economic times in recent state history. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed $14 billion in cuts, which means cuts to parks, prisons, and yes, education. For our school district that figure translates to $12 million. We must have planned cuts in place before June 30.
We have been meeting with representatives of all the unions and management staff and a community-based budget committee to talk about ways of making budget cuts. We created a special link on the district website to provide information on budget cuts across the county. I’ve produced two videos, also placed on the special “Budget Update” link on the website. These videos have outlined what we’re doing to look at all programs across the district in our efforts to save money. We’re beginning a campaign where we’re going to encourage all of our employees and parents to write, call, and email their legislators (立法委员) to spare education from big cuts.
Despite the efforts we made to keep the cuts as far away from classroom as possible, we know we will have some serious decisions to make. With 87% of our budget going to employee salaries and benefits, we know these cuts may affect people. We’re hoping that those thinking of retiring will tell us soon so that we can also place people in those positions, if possible. We’re hoping that we can place people into open positions.
These conversations are not easy. I promise you, however, that we will be honest and open with you ― that we will share with you all the information that was considered in making decisions.
Thank you for all you do for the students of our school district.
Sincerely,
Jesus M Gandara, Ed. D.
Superintendent
63. The letter is probably written by a(n) ___________.
A. teacher B. administrator C. parent D. governor
64. What does the writer mean by “keep cuts as far away from classroom as possible”?
A. Avoid talking about the problem in the classrooms.
B. Spend the same amount of money building classrooms.
C. Protect teachers and students from being affected.
D. Keep the same number of students in the district.
65. The efforts made by the district include the following EXCEPT __________.
A. meeting different people concerned
B. providing information on the district website
C. calling on teachers and parents to get involved
D. forcing people to retire early
66. This letter is mainly to __________.
A. keep the employees informed about the budget cuts
B. encourage people to join in the campaign
C. warn people that they may lose their jobs
D. thank the teachers for what they have done for the students
D
Experts have long supposed that the Red Planet was once home to water some two billion years ago, but now a team of Canadian and US researchers say they’ve found hard evidence to support the theory ? a discovery certain to heat up discussion on whether Mars once supported life.
The researchers’ study says the “ragged, kilometer ? high and undulating (起伏的)” features on the Martian surface are in fact shorelines of massive ancient oceans that once covered a third of the planet’s surface.
“It shows that there were
shorelines and … that Mars, at one time, had massive standing bodies of water
that we would call oceans. It was a blue planet. It was a blue planet early in
its history, and these were not small pools,” said Jerry Mitrovica, a
Because the study did not
clearly involve biological issues, neither scientist wished to speculate (推测) on the
implications (暗示) their findings may have regarding the existence of life ?
ancient or current ? on Mars. But the study’s lead author, Taylor Perron of
Perron said the study further shows it’s mathematically impossible for the entire Martian water supply to have been lost to space, and much of it may still be underground. So the next step in terms of research will be to figure out where the water has gone. By pointing out where the bodies of water might have been located, it will give scientists a good “target” in terms of where to concentrate exploration efforts.
67. The underlined word “hard” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. true B. firm C. difficult D. unkind
68. According to the passage, the shorelines on Mars .
A. now are still lying there with water B. will bring hot discussion about life on Mars
C. will remain to be proved by scientists D. look ragged and extend kilometers long
69. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. man may find underground water on Mars
B. water on Mars was completely lost into space
C. scientists have located the position of water on Mars
D. scientists’ main target is to analyze water on Mars
70. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Ancient life exists on Mars. B. Small pools are found on Mars.
C. Another sign of life is found on Mars. D. Scientists find shorelines on Mars.
