A historical change is taking place in middle-school education. Teachers are being asked to be responsible, as never before, for how well they serve their students. It has become as common in middle schools for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In fact, student ratings (评价) have become the most widely used and in many cases, the only important information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three studies of the same 600 middle and high schools in more than thirty states, it was found that the number of schools using student ratings to evaluate (评估) teachers had climbed from 29 percent to 68 percent to 86 percent. No other method of evaluation got that degree of usage, and other studies have found similar results.
One reason that student evaluations of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to carry out and to score. But they are also easy to put to wrong use. If they are expected to throw meaningful light on teachers' performance, the ratings must be used in a way that shows at least some of what we've learnt about them from research and from experience.
Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluated on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date (新颖的，时尚的) or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments that require professional background are best left to the teacher's fellow workers. On the other hand, students should be asked to comment (评论) what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher's ability to communicate at the students' level, general behavior in the classroom, relationship with the students, ability to develop interest in the subject and ways to encourage students to teach themselves.
(1) The central idea of the passage is that ________.
[ ]
A．student ratings are the only way to learn about teaching effectiveness
B．other methods are better than student ratings in evaluating teachers
C．it is quite right to make student ratings popular in the country
D．student ratings are very popular and should be properly used
(2) In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression "throw meaningful light on teachers' performance" means ________.
[ ]
A．judging teachers' teaching ability and understanding of the course
B．making teachers' performance clear and understood to all
C．having a main opinion of teachers' performance
D．speaking highly of the teachers' performance
(3) Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
[ ]
A．Students should not be asked questions that require professional background.
B．Student evaluations are popular because they are extremely accurate.
C．Student ratings can be used in all the schools in any case.
D．Student ratings are already used in almost every school.
(4) In student ratings, one can not asked the question "________"
[ ]
A．Can the teacher make himself easily understood?
B．How does the teacher deal with the students?
C．Are students interested in what is taught?
D．Is what is taught by the teacher new?
The U.S. government has repeatedly made it clear that it would welcome China’s entrance into the world arena as a power. However, a series of issues since the beginning of this year, particularly Washington's stance on the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and the South China Sea issue, have made the world think: Is the United States ready to recognize China as a power on the world stage?
It is easier said than done for the United States to adapt itself to China's development. Lip service is far from enough to boost the development of Sino
-U.S. relations. If Washington cannot find a way to recognize and accept China's peaceful rise onto the world stage, bilateral（双边的） ties will be like a roller coaster full of ups and downs. However, no one would like to see the negative effects rocky relations would bring to China, the United States and possibly to the world as a whole.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to play a greater role in solving the world's economic, environmental and political problems. She said global issues could not be solved by the United States or China alone, but without participation of the two countries, no problems would likely be solved. Washington has realized that the United States' global interest can be maintained only through changing the way it deals with China.
The Obama administration released positive signals in its relations with China, which have been interpreted as the United States showing its intention to change the traditional strategy of engagement and containment（遏制）. As a matter of fact, the general direction of Sino-U.S. relations provides a foundation on which the United States can base its foreign policies and is more complicated than an adjustment in real conditions. Issues such as arms sales to Taiwan, Google censorship, RMB exchange rates as well as finger-pointing about economic responsibility show Washington still seems confused and inpatient about relations with China.
The relationship between China and the United States is the most important and complicated bilateral relationship in the world this century. The development of Sino-U.S. relations will affect
world peace and stability, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Ian Bremmer, an American political scientist specializing in U.S. foreign policy, said, "America and China will have more than ever to gain from closer political and commercial ties, and must take steps to avoid a Cold War, or worse."
In that circumstance, the United States needs both wisdom and determination to recognize and accept China, a country that is totally different from its own, as a power on the world stage.
The underlined word stance in the first paragraph probably means .
A．information B．opinion C．ignorance D．criticism
Why does the US have to change the way it deals with China?
A．The US welcomes Chin’s entrance into the world arena.
B．The US hopes that China will get more powerful.
C．Only in this way can China meet all of its demands.
D．Only in this way can its global interest be maintained.
Ian Bremmer thinks both America and China will benefit more from .
A．a cold war. B．keeping patient C．better cooperation D．developing economy
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．Is it Clear that China has become world power?
B．Is US ready to recognize China as world power?
C．Is US still the most powerful country in the world?
D．Is Sino-U.S. relationship the most important and complicated in the world.

Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the Internet. Now, I'll bet you can't find a 1 person in your school who hasn't 2 heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and can even use it at 3 . The "net" in Internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers 4 together so that information can be 5 or sent from one computer to 6 . The Internet is a vast 7 for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do 8 for a school project, downloading your favorite songs or 9 with friends and family. Information can be found 10 web pages that companies, organizations, and individuals (个人) create. It's like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put 11 on the Internet, you also have to be careful and use your best 12 and a little common sense.
Just 13 you read something on a piece of paper someone puts on a bulletin board doesn't mean that it's good information, or even correct, for that matter. You have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they're talking about, 14 if you're doing research! But what if you're just e-mailing people? You still have to be very 15 if you've never met the person that you're communicating with online. You could be doing something 16 ! You should never give out any 17 information to someone you don't know, not even your name! And just like you can't 18 the information on every website out there. You can't 19 on what strangers you "meet" on the Internet tell you either. In the same way that you could 20 things about yourself to tell someone, as someone else could do the same to you!

Take the 45 of Mrs. Green, for example. She was unable to get to sleep at night and was too tired during the day to do some simple things that she 46 enjoy doing. She had headaches more often which 47 her from reading or watching TV. The more she thought about her conditions, 48 she felt. At last she went to 49 her doctor, whom she had known for years. The doctor listened to her and gave her a very 50 examination. Then he said to her, “ There is nothing 51 wrong with you physically, but I accept the fact 52 you don’t feel well. I’m going to give you some pills that should help. I want you to 53 one after dinner and one half an hour 54 you go to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me 55 you feel.
56 Mrs. Green telephoned, “Doctor, I had the first 57 night’s sleep in two months. What is in this pills 58 ?” The doctor said, “It is an old formula（配方） I have 59 for years. Just 60 taking them for a week.” Turning to the nurse, he said, “It’s wonderful what a little baking soda（苏打） can do.”
