题目列表(包括答案和解析)
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

The use of the word imitation(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime(犯罪) or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting(通电触死) his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted(请教) before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.
Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi.made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences(连续镜头) of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong.
The writer thinks that______.
A.the details of the criminal technique should be kept
B.the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen
C.children should not imitate what they see on the screen
D.it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen
What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?
A.The writer likes it very much.
B.The writer is strongly against it.
C.The writer thinks the film has some value.
D.The writer does not show his/her attitude.
All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.
A.that the robbery shown needs experience and skills
B.that some very good tools were used in the robbery
C.that the film showed the technique in detail
D.that the technique of the robbery was not imitated
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A.it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary
B.only people in prison support film checking
C.only children imitate what they have seen on the screen
D.the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown
