A
Reading Oliver James' Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old
daughter is in tears." I have so take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out.
After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry
I ask her how the test went and the just says "OK, I got a nine".
"Wow. well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which
encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my
daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I
don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests
and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system
(体制)of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen
as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a
Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learnat school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to
develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools
where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon.
Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid
system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around
the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said, "Inspiration(灵感)is needed in geometry(几何学)just as
much as in poetry ", and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting
worried about them .
46.What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?
A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach.
B. She should be more polite to her parents.
C. Sheis hard-working but not very bright.
D. She takes her grades much too seriously.
47.What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
A plain and unavoidable fact.
B. A satisfied and very proud state.
C. A practical and widely-used way.
D. A fixed and often unreasonable idea.
48.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Social skills are as important as high grades.
B. Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.
C. The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.
D. Danish educational system is for very smart students.
49.The writer wants to tell us that____.
A. learning happily is the key to self-development.
B. top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.
C. tests should be improved to give children inspiration.
D. education should meet one's needs for word and money.
50.What is Oliver Jame’s Affluenza from this text?
A a book B a film C a program D an advertisement
B
The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for
communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without
falling down?
There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of
gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is
created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the
satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The
gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a
rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite
comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes thegravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落)
down to the earth.
51. Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?
A．communication
B．monitoring the weather condition
C．doing some research
D．taking pictures
52. The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.
A．the earth
B．the satellite itself
C．the rotation of the satellite
D．the rope
53. Why can’t the satellites fly away?
A．Because of the force from the earth.
B．Because the satellite is too big.
C．Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.
D．Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.
54. The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.
A．when it flies faster
B．when its speed slows down
C．when people cut the rope
D．when there is no electricity in it
55.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．There are four forces acting on the satellite.
B．The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.
C．As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.
D．The satellite will stay in space forever.
C
You’ve probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you
know that carrier pigeons（信鸽）can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.
Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can
is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it
is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can
fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.
Spy
Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars (战争). “Spy pigeons” had
small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy (敌人)land, the camera took photos
of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.
So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most
people, might actually be helpful.
小题1:Which part of the carrier pigeon is the can tied to?
A．The pigeon’s back. B．The pigeon’s head. C．The pigeon’s neck. D．The pigeon’s leg.
小题2:What kind of people can the carrier pigeons find?A．The people in orange life jackets at sea.

D．The people lost in the mountains.

A．A pigeon could predict what the weather would be like.
B．A pigeon was tied with a small camera around its leg.
C．A pigeon could help us to know the number of the enemy.
D．A pigeon carried the camera to take photos of the enemy land.
小题4:What kind of jobs are mentioned for a carrier pigeon?
A．A mailman, a lifeguard and a spy.
B．A trainer, a spy and a police officer.
C．A soldier, a police officer and a mailman.
D．A farmer, a weather reporter and a lifeguard.
小题5:What is the purpose of writing this article?
A．To make readers like pigeons more.
