5.The English test will be removed from China's college entrance exam by 2020,according to the Ministry of Education.The national college entrance exam,known as the"Gaokao"has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades.The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment.Tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
The decision has aroused a heated discussio among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted whether the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student's English skills and help students learn English better.
"As far as I see,the reform doesn't mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it is excluded from the unified college entrance exam,"Yu said."In a way,English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference,while every college and university,even every major,can have different requirements of a student's English skills under a diverse evaluation system."
Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn't need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.
The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

A.English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.
B.It has been 30years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.
C.China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.
D.The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
49.According to the passage,Shanghi educators and parents argue thatC.
A.the new exam and admission system will make no difference
B.English shouldn't be removed from China's college entrance exam
C.the reform may accomplish the very opposite
D.Western educational system does not apply to China

C.Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.
D.English must be close to full mark.
51.What's the purpose of the passage?D

C.To support the act of Ministry of Education.
D.To encourage students to do as they have planned.

分析 文章介紹了高考中英語考試的改革方案,和不同的人包括家長,教育工作者對這項改革的不同看法,但是文章作者認(rèn)為是否認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)英語取決于學(xué)生的專業(yè).

解答 48---51 DCBD
48.答案D.推理題:從第一段的句子:Instead,tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system.可以推斷出一年多次考試的系統(tǒng)要比一次考試有更多的好處,選D.
49.答案C.細(xì)節(jié)題:從文章第三段的句子:The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student's English skills and help students learn English better.可知上海的父母和教育工作者認(rèn)為這個改革實現(xiàn)的結(jié)果可能正相反,選C.
50.答案B.句意理解題:這句話的意思是如果一個學(xué)生的專業(yè)不需要很好的英語就可以減輕壓力,而如果想成為最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生還是需要認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)英語的.可就是說:"是否學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)英語取決于他們的專業(yè)",選B.
51.答案D.寫作意圖題:從文章倒數(shù)第三段的句子:"As far as I see,the reform doesn't mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,"英語考試改革不意味著英語就不重要了,所以可知作者寫這篇文章是為了鼓勵學(xué)生按照自己計劃的去做,選D.

點評 科普類文章一般由標(biāo)題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題,而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題.導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進行詳細(xì)敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點.結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題.在進行推理判斷時,同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù),同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識.

20.One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son and his girlfriend in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister.I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children.Later,I discovered that I was completely wrong.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out.I called home with this happy news.But instead of hearing his cheerful,grateful voice on the other end of the line,all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was,I should point out,after 10p.m.,when the two younger children should have been in bed,and when the two older children should have been answering the phone."I'll give him a lesson,"I said.I decided they must be outside.Why they might be outside at 10:30on a winter night I had no idea,but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
Finally,in desperation(絕望),I called his girlfriend's house.His girlfriend answered."Yes,"she said brightly,"He's right here."
He came on the phone.I was not my usual calm,patient.After all,one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers."Where are the children?"I said.He said they were with him.They had done nothing wrong.My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake. Well,it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it.It was only part of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents'home,celebrating my birthday.My oldest son gave me the children's gifts---a series of lovely color photographs of my children,dressed in their best clothes,and wearing their most wonderful expressions.They are pictures to treasure a lifetime,all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend.

41.The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children becauseB.
A.she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter
B.she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend
C.the older children have always loved the younger ones
D.she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night
42.Shortly after the author left home one evening,she discovered thatC.
A.her son had brought his girlfriend home
B.her son had left home with his girlfriend
C.she shouldn't have completely trusted her son
D.she should have taken the children along with her
43."It was only part of the truth."implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but alsoA.
A.had their pictures takenB.received some gifts
C.had a birthday party  D.showed off their best clothes.

10.In the US and Britain,the slogan around colleges was"Save water.Shower with a friend."Now,Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse.It charges students for the amount of time in a shower.Before entering the bathhouse,students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card.The clock starts ticking the minute and the tap is turned on.It pauses when a button is pressed for soap.An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time.No money,no water.The benefits of the new sysem can be seen with the old system,which charged 1Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower.The university used about 320tons of water daily under the old system,but only 160tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided.Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race.Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower.Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they're still covered in soap.They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
"It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,"said Ren,a freshman in Wuhan University.The university is also considering some students'suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower.Not surprisingly,some are complaining about losing the hour shower.But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits,most students tended to shower for 30to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes."In my experience,10-20minutes is enough,"said Dai Zhihua,a third-year student who usually takes 8minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities.Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September.The bathing fee thee is 0.2Yuan per minute.One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.

28.The underline word"flaw"(Paragraph3)most probably meansB.
A.perfection   B.fault     C.preference  D.a(chǎn)dvantage
29.Since the new system has performed,A of water can be saved.
A.one halfB.one thirdC.a(chǎn) quarter   D.two thirds
30.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.the new operation can solve the water crisis.
B.The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.
C.a(chǎn) similar operation has been set in other universities.
D.The new operation can raise students'environmental awareness system.
31.In which column can you find this passage?C
A.People.B.Society C.Campus Life.D.Lifestyle.

Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes
To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.To others,comics are nothing more than (41)J of their happy childhoods.But for people who love comic books,they can be a(n) (42)G escape from the realities of modern life.Comics are able to (43)K readers to brightly-colored,imaginary worlds where superheroes fight with super-monsters,where good can succeed over bad,and where heroes can save thousands of innocent people from the"bad guys."Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions(44)F the market despite the fact-or perhaps because-they differ in some ways.
One difference is the appearance of the heroes.Manga ([日語]漫畫) heroes look smaller,younger,and more immature than their all-conquering American ones who have sport muscles and wear themed clothes.Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories are not typically set within a Japanese (45)D.Conversely,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their (46)C to defend U.S.cities.Importantly,in Japan a manga creator can himself or herself become a national hero,becoming almost as famous as the characters.
Probably the biggest difference is the (47)H.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The (48)A of TV,however,led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.In Japan,the (49)E couldn't be greater.There manga sales are still (50)B,reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.
