Forty-two of the fifty American states offered some kind of public online learning this past school year．One state，Michigan，now requires all students to have an online learning experience before they finish high school．Even the idea of a school has changed since the rise ofthe Internet in the 1990s．
A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University says eighteen states have full-time virtual schools．There are no buildings．All classes are online．
Florida started the first statewide public virtual school in the United States in 1997．Today，the Florida Virtual School offers more man ninety courses．56,000 students were enrolled as of December．Almost sixty percent were female．The school's website says each student was enrolled in an average of two classes．

So how good are virtual schools? Studies have shown mixed results, as a new report from Indiana University notes．For example, students at Florida Virtual School earned higher grades than those taking the same courses the traditional way．And they scored higher on a statewide
test．But virtual school students in Kansas and Colorado had lower test scores or performed at a lower level than traditional learners．Studies also find that virtual schools may not save much in operating costs．

The girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma(文憑).
In December, a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, an­nounced that it needed five new staff members. Some 120 people applied and took the exam. Ap­plicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least.
Mei Jing beat everyone in the test and the interview. When a follow-up check was done, however, her education certificate(證書) was discovered to be an unreal one.
This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers. A dilemma, one might say. If she were hired because of her excellent performance, she still wouldn't have the qualifications on pa­per. But, if she were dropped because she didn't meet the education requirements, they would lose a good worker. Tough problem!
While Mei's future hangs in the balance, the public having learned of the case got involved. Some people said the Bureau should employ her, since results are the only important thing. “After all, ability is more important than a diploma, ”said one office worker.
Others, however, have attacked Mei's dishonesty. They said that morality was, after all, more important than talent, especially in the case of a government position. Mei wasn't honest, so she shouldn't be hired.
But, Shen Ronghua, the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human Resources Institute, tries to be a bit more philosophical.
“There is still a sort of  'diploma means this'  prejudice among people,” Shen explains, “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”
So, with this in mind, people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not. They turn to chasing a diploma instead. The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought.
The conclusion? "China needs a new human resource system. The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma, " Shen says.
【小題1】What's the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph Four?

A．A problem easy to deal with or solve.
B．A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision.
C．A difference in two or more statements, ideas, or stories.
D．Something said or done that is funny.
【小題2】What can we infer from this news report?
A．The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl.
B．The girl was not employed because of dishonesty.
C．It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not.
D．Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl.
【小題3】What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this”?
A．A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not.
B．A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent.
C．A diploma is what you get after you finish a course.
D．A diploma means a job.
【小題4】 Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report?
A．A Girl's Unlucky Experience.B．Unreal Diploma.
C．Dishonesty Has Been Attacked.D．Can A Diploma Be All There Is.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年四川南充高中高三第十六次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

URBANA, ILL. (AP)--Mike dropped out of college to support his pregnant(懷孕的) girlfriend and now works as a manager of a trucking company, Lynn graduated with honors from Harvard University and was hired as a lawyer with a top law firm in a major city. What do these two people have in common? Ten years ago they were both high school valedictorians (致告別辭者).

A University of Illinois study follows the lives of 81 valedictorians and salutatorians (致詞的學(xué)生代表) who graduated a decade ago from public and private high schools in the state.

Tales of Success and Failure

The study found tales of success and failure. The research on 46 women and 35 men found that some were doctors and scientists, one was a drug addict, another was a waitress with emotional problems.

"There is a popular idea about people who do well in school doing well in life," said Terry Denny, professor of education. Denny conducted the study with Karen Arnold, a former graduate student of Denny' s who is now a professor at Boston College. Denny and Arnold contacted the 81 students before graduation, and then followed up with interviews nearly every other year. They also sent them questionnaires in the mail.

Varied Careers

One-third of the students are lawyers, or have a doctorate. Nineteen are in business and 15 are engineers or computer scientists. Others include a farmer, a stock broker, and an aerobics instructor.

Arnold says many of the students have only average positions in the work world and that "most are not headed for greatness in their careers." Denny, however, says that it is too early to make such predictions. "Who expects someone to be on the Supreme Court at the age of 28 or to be the discoverer of an important scientific invention right after college?" he said. "These students are just getting started in life. They are just beginning to find out what life is all about."

1.What can we conclude from Paragraph 1?

A．Mike got married before he went to college.

B．Lynn was honored by a law firm in the city.

C．Mike was not so lucky as Lynn after graduating from college.

D．Mike and Lynn both graduated first in their high school class.

2.According to the article Denny is probably older than Arnold because      .

A．Denny was her professor

B．Arnold did well at school.

C．Denny interviewed some students

D．Arnold helped Denny in the research

3.What is probably the best title for the article?

A．Successful Careers for College Graduates

B．Success in Education Predicts Success in Later Life

C．High School Honors Not Always Key to Life Success

D．A study on Successful Jobs and College Graduates

4.Who probably wrote this article?

A．College graduates

B．Reporters

C．Professors and researchers

D．Teachers
