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(學(xué)費(fèi))were free，about half of them could make up other COSTS from family or part—time jobs．

    Critics(批評(píng)家)of free college tuition will say we can’t afford it because of the federal deficit(聯(lián)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(負(fù)擔(dān))．

According to President Obama’s plan，in 10 years，    ．

   A．there will be no expensive and unnecessary Wars

   B．a(chǎn)ll 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．a(chǎn)bout 2．5 million students could afford college education

B．a(chǎn)bout 2 million students could be provided chances of college education

C．over l million students still could not afford college education

D．a(chǎn)bout 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

To all of you at Chinese love links,
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don't know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e - mails 2 - 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you're not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年寧夏高三第一次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.

The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (蕭條) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.

Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit--- Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.

1.How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?

A. Through his observation of the country life.

B. Through the combination of different ideas.

C. By taking other people’s advice.

D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.

2.According to Howard, garden cities should be built _____.

A. as far as possible from existing cities.

B. in the countryside where the land was cheap.

C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed.

D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed.

3.What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?

A. Their number would continue to rise.

B. Each one would continue to become larger

C. People would live and work in the same place.

D. Each one would contain a certain type of business.

4.What could be the best title for the passage?

A. City and Countryside

B. The Invention of the Garden City

C. A New City in Chicago

D. A Famous Garden City in England

Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th century’s most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除), Bill Gates declared polio (小兒麻痹癥) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the job.

India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (傳播) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and elsewhere is lack of money.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to increase its $200 million annual contribution (每年的捐款) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistan’s President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistan’s eradication plan.

Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who don’t vaccinate (給某人接種疫苗) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus.

“If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prized-winning author of Polio: An American Story.

“We’ve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organization’s eradication program.

In 1988, when the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication program, the disease killed 350,000 children a year worldwide. By last year, the total dropped to fewer than 1,500 worldwide, Aylward says.

If Gates provides the final push for polio eradication, he may be remembered as much for helping prevent polio as for founding Microsoft, Oshinsky says.

“As long as there’s polio anywhere, people everywhere are at risk,” Aylawrd says. “We’re still not out of the woods.”

1.According to the text, the success of the Global Polio Eradication program mainly depends on          .

A．the World Health Organization’s policy

B．the development of a new vaccine

C．the local governments’ support

D．the collection of funds.

2.What do we know about polio according to the text?

A．People in Nigeria don’t take it seriously.

B．It’s now the most serious childhood disease.

C．Great progress has been made in preventing it.

D．There are few organizations helping to prevent it.

3.According to Oshinsky,           .

A．Gates should devote more time to Microsoft

B．polio eradication is a very important cause

C．vaccine side-effects should not be ignored

D．polio has been brought under control

4.According to the passage, which of the following about Bill Gates is TRUE?

A．He is the founder of the Global polio Eradication program.

B．He persuades some of the world leaders to support the eradication plan.

C．His foundation contributes $302, 000 to eradicate polio every year.

D．He works harder on preventing polio than founding Microsoft.

5.The underlined part “We’re still not out of the woods” means “       ”.

A．We get lost in the woods

B．We’re not free from trouble

C．we have no idea where to go

D．We’re unable to eradicate polio

The United States provides more than half the world’s food aid. American programs gave about two billion dollars last year.

But critics say the current system wastes money and delays the arrival of needed food. Under current law, United States government agencies have to buy Am {007}erican-produced food. And 75% of the aid must be carried on American ships.

President of the USA wants to change the system. His plan would provide food aid by buying crops directly from farmers in the developing world. Money in the form of cash would make up about 25% of the aid. The president is calling on Congress(國會(huì)) to support the agriculture in developing countries.
