3.All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the"public schools",and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions-Eton,Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000students out of a total of over 250,000students at all British universities.Eton is a public school,and the best known of the public schools,which,in spite of their name,are not really public at all,but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years.The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school,and one out of 1,500goes to Eton.
Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education,which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries.All children must,by law,receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen.Any child may attend,without paying fees,a school provided by the public authorities,and the great majority attend such schools.They may continue,still without paying fees,until they are eighteen.In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools.However,although the public schools are not important numerically,they have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods,and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking,insurance,high finance,some industries,the army,the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools.

(Note:Answer the question or complete the statements in no more than 12words.)
81.British public schools are not as their names suggests because they arein reality independent and private (actually).
82.The public schools are not important in certain senses becauseonly a small number of children are studying there.
83.Why must all British children between the age of five and sixteen attend a school?Because it is required by law.
84.Why do people easily think of public schools when British education is mentioned?Because they have great influence on English education and society..

分析 本文為科教類閱讀,文章介紹了英國的教育,提到了公立學(xué)校對整個國家的影響.

解答 81.in reality independent and private (actually)
82.only a small number of children are studying there
83.Because it is required by law.
84.Because they have great influence on English education and society.
詳解:
81.答案in reality independent and private (actually).細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三行Eton is a public school,and the best known of the public schools,which,in spite of their name,are not really public at all,but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years可知,這些學(xué)校名字上是公立的,但在現(xiàn)實中已經(jīng)獨立出去,成為私立的.故填in reality independent and private.
82.答案only a small number of children are studying there.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二行The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school,and one out of 1,500goes to Eton可知,只有少數(shù)學(xué)生去上公立學(xué)校.故填only a small number of children are studying there.
83.答案Because it is required by law.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段第二行All children must,by law,receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen可知,5-16歲的兒童必須去上學(xué),因為這是法律規(guī)定的.故填Because it is required by law.
84.答案Because they have great influence on English education and society.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第四行However,although the public schools are not important numerically,they have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods,and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure可知,提到英國教育總會提到公立學(xué)校,因為這些學(xué)校對英國的教育和社會有重大影響.故填Because they have great influence on English education and society.

14.[1]Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good,it is strange that so few people write them anymore.At work,a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective.It costs little and has no side effects.ne effort involved in writing letters is very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
[2]Doug Conant,manager of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001,knows the power of thank-you letters.He said that every day he works with an assistant,combing the company for people deserving thanks.He then writes them a thank-you letter.Over the past 10years he has sent 30,000thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10each day.The reward is huge:his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
[3]But if these letters are so uplifting,why don't more managers write them?
There seem __________.Firstly6,chief executives running compa-nies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don't write any themselves.Secondly,they aren't close e-nough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly,they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
[4]In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead,sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most power-ful and rewarding.You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.Always remember to"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!"

76.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It is not at all difficult to write letters.The effort involved in writing letters is very low.
77.What's the purpose of Paragraph 2?(no more than 15words)To give an example showing how effective thank-you letters are./To provide an example to show thank-you letters are effective./To give an example to support the main idea.
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words.(no more than 5words)to be three reasons
79.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3into Chinese.第三,他們忘記了這樣一個奇怪的人性真理:為了回報寥寥數(shù)語的感謝,幾乎每個人都愿做幾乎任何事./第三,他們忘了這樣一個奇特而真實的人性特點:幾句感謝的話,便可換來對方不遺余力的傾情付出.
80.What's the main idea of this passage?(no more than 15words)Handwritten thank-you letters are an excellent way to reward and motivate people./Handwritten thank-you letters are very important..

11.閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求).
(1)Our character,basically,is a mixture of our habits."Sow a thought,reap an action; sow an action,reap a habit;________,reap a character; sow a character,reap a destiny (命運),"the maxim goes.
  (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives.Because they are  often unconscious patterns,they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
  (3)As Horace Mann,the great educator,once said,"Habits are like a cable.We weave a rope of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken."I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression.I know habits can be learned and unlearned.But we also know it isn't a quick fix.It involves a process and a tremendous effort.
  (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth.But to get there,those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth.More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off,in the first few miles of travel,than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
 (5)Habits,too,have tremendous gravity pull-more than most people realize or would admit.Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延),impatience,criticalness,or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives."Lift off"takes a tremendous effort,but once we break out of the gravity pull,our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
。6)Like any natural force,gravity pull can work with us or against us.The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go.But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together,that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order.It is a powerful force,and if we use it effectively,we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
76.What is the best title of the passage?(no more than 8 words)
Habits make/shape you/us./Excellence comes from good habits
77.Please complete the blank in the para.1 (no more than 3 words)
Sow a habit
78.Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives?(no more than 15 words)
Habits can constantly affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness
79.What does the writer mean by refering to gravity pull?(no more than 13 words)
Habits are like gravity,which can work with us or against us
80.What does the underlined"it"in line3 para3 refer to?(no more than 3 words)
forming a habit/growing a habit.

[1]It's a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood.You want to protect but not treat too kindly,advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input,of course.
[2]When your child asks for help or advice,give only what was asked for.If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot(繩結(jié))for a project she is working on,just tie the knot.Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.She wants to do it herself,in her own way.Before                 which your child has not askd for,count to ten.Perhaps in those seconds you'll decide that the advice would do no good,or isn't really that important,and you'll drop it.If the advice still seems important,you will give it,but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way.
[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you.We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves,or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves.We need to help them to be them,not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good.
[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop.For example,one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood.
76.What's the best title of this text?(no more than 10 words)
Teach Children Wisely and Well/Guide Kids Into Adulthood Wisely                                                                   
77.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It's not your duty to help her finish the whole thing or give her advice on the way of doing it.
Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.                                                                              
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 5  words)
offering help or advice/you offer help or advice                                                                             
79.Make a list of three mistakes that we parents usually make in guiding the kids.(no more than 24 words)
(1)shaping the kids into our copies

8.It's strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life.Jacob seems like a normal person.He likes music,art and photography.His parents both got college degrees.He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer.He is a big fan of Mexican food.Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood.However,behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.
It started when he was only two years old.His parents divorced and then remarried.Going through elementary school and middle school,he was frightened a lot.This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.
He developed deep depression.Doing the smart thing,he talked to his parents about his problem.His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital.He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed.Serious insomnia caused the problem.
The solution was daily medication.The medication took care of Jacob's depression problem.However,it contained a substance with lithium(鋰).The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate.This led to a weight gain of 25pounds while he was on medication.So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.
Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school.Now he is a happy human being.
Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression.Many people probably would have given up their dreams.But Jacob is not like this.He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.

81.When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage?(no more than 3words)   (2marks)On Labor Day.
82.Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression?(no more than 4words)   (2marks)
Because of serious insomnia.
83.How did Jacob gain the weight of 25pounds while on medication?( no more than 5words) (3marks)
By eating spoonfuls of sugar.
84.What can we know from Jacob's story?(no more than 10words)   (3marks)
He had a hard time but never gave up..

15.[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one,a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important.You should start with a general warm-up.This is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm.Walking,gentle jogging or basic aerobics (有氧運動) are all good places to start.The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work.
[2]After the general warm up,move on to basic stretching,which doesn't require a lot of movement.Stretch your legs,ankles,feet,arms,chest and back.After completing these basic stretches,you can move on to sport-specific stretching.They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires.
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries.So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet.Gently roll your ankle in one direction,and then in the other direction.Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels.
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just ________________ warming up.First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest.Then move on to general body stretching.And finally,cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate.
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries.Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type.People with high arches (足弓) should buy shoes which have a lot of support,and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control.Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise.
76.What is the text mainly about?(no more than 6 words)Ways/How to prevent foot injuries/Away from foot injuries
77.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words)

as important as/the same as
