8．The pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti are singing．One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin．Their headmistress，Emile Jean-Noel，is one of the few women school principals in the country．
Over 70% of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food，water，schools，or housing．To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school，meals are provided by the World Food Programme．
"We are so cut off we have many difficulties，"comments Emile，adding that finding chalk，school books and other materials is practically impossible．Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources．Her efforts are bearing fruit．One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery（刺繡） and other handicrafts．
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years．Enrolment（入學(xué)） is a mere 44per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it．Less than a third of these go on to secondary school．In rural areas it is not rare to find 17-and 18year-olds in primary school．Beau-Roc has only 4teachers for 260pupils．Emile works constantly to improve her pupils'environment．Under her direction，a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme．
Not only is Emile's salary too little，but she receives it irregularly．For her，transport is a real headache．She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus，costing more than she can afford．
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly"，Emile comments．"With all the sacrifices and risks it requires，only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it．"Nevertheless，Emile loves her job．"I always feel at home with the children and，the parents understand what I'm doing．"

64．What theme is presented in this passage？A
A．Devotion to education
B．Poverty and hardship
C．Politics and children
D．Love and beauty
65．Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school？D
A．Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts．
B．Persuading local women to care about their children's education．
C．Encouraging those around her to use those available resources．
D．Finding chalk，school books and other materials．
66．In the last paragraph，"those who are really cut out for teaching"are those who areC．
A．dismissed from teaching
B．unfamiliar with teaching
C．qualified for teaching
D．cautious about teaching．

分析 文章主要講述了 Emily 竭盡所能給 Beau-Roc 小學(xué)的學(xué)生們提供教育的故事．

解答 64A 主旨題．文章主要講述了 Emily 竭盡所能給 Beau-Roc 小學(xué)的學(xué)生們提供教育的故事，A項(xiàng)"投身于教育"是對(duì) Emily 的最好評(píng)價(jià)，故正確答案為A．
65D 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第三段第一句"'We are so cut off we have many difficulties，'comments Emile，adding that finding chalk，school books and other materials is practically impossible．"我們是如此的與世隔絕，因此我們有很多困難，比如找到可以用的粉筆，教科書以及其他材料，都變得不切實(shí)際，可知正確答案為D．
66C  推斷題．由最后一段第二句"With all the sacrifices and risks it requires，only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it．"可知在海地教書需要奉獻(xiàn)和冒風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，由此推斷只有真正愿意投身教育事業(yè)的人才會(huì)去做，故正確答案為C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一個(gè)新聞報(bào)道類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

20．We talk about people being"color-blind"but very few of us are．Even those who describe  themselves as color-blind are normally just color lack．A strongly color-blind person will still be able to tell 20different colors，compared to the 100or so that normal-sighted people see．
Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble．It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white．
Not being able to see in color is bad enough．But one islander，Herrol，who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image．"I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，"he says，"because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work．"
But if being truly color-blind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world？
Well，we know that in 1780the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami．As few as 20people survived，one of whom was the king．It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations．
There is one advantage．Herrol can see well，really well，in the dark．So when it gets dark，Herro1and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish．They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames．"This type of fishing is fun，"Herrol says，"especially if we catch plenty．So even though it's hard work we enjoy it．"
5．What is Pingelap famous as？B
A．A tiny island．                   
B．A color-blind island
C．A mentally troubled island．        
D．A beautiful island．
6．What can we infer about Herrol？A
A．He may stay at home when it's sunny．
B．He is interested in burnt-out images．
C．He likes taking photos very much．
D．He doesn't live in Pingelap any more．
7．What would be the best title for the text？C

Do you want to get fit but find jogging boring？Then you need the Run Personal treadmill（跑步機(jī)）from Technogym．Designed by Italian Architect Antonio Citterio，the Run Personal is wonderful and stylish．But the best thing about it is the 19-inch TV screen and iPod，which allow you to watch TV，listen to music or even play games while you train．Price：￡7，508．
And after you've finished running，why not relax in a hot bath？Oh．but now you can't see the TV!Don't worry，for￡999 Aquavision will provide you with a completely waterproof LCD television which becomes a luxurious（奢侈的）bathroom mirror when you're not using it．Perfect!

16．Suppose you don't need your car today．And suppose，as it happens，that a stranger in your area does need a car．Would you be willing to rent yours out？
Several car-sharing start-ups，including Getaround，RelayRides and JustShareIt，are eager to connect car owners with renters this way．The companies have different rules，but participating
owners receive，generally speaking，about two-thirds of the rental earnings．RelayRides says an owner of a midsize，late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about＄3，000 a year．
Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage； it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places．It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses．
Shelby Clark，founder of RelayRides，says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers．To address that，he points to Airbnb，saying，"Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car．"
 All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters，which are supposed to put owners'minds at ease．But only two states-California and Oregon-have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident．
"In all the other states，legal ambiguity remains，"Shelby Clark says．"If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states，the victim can be expected to go after every party possible，including the car's owner．"
Also to remove the worries of car owners，the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations．
 
36．What does the underlined word"sedan"in Paragraph 2 probably refer to？A
A．A kind of car
B．An owner of a car．
C．A renting company．
D．A car-sharing renter．
37．Which of the following is true of Airbnb？B
A．It cares little about personal privacy
B．It deals with house-sharing successfully．
C．It is a very popular car-sharing company
D．Its ideas are being tried out in some states．
38．If a car-sharing renter should have an accident in California，the car's ownerB．
A．has to take legal responsibility    
B．will not suffer the consequence
C．is not covered by health insurance  
D．must pay the insurance for the renter
39．According to the text，more car-owners will participate in the service，ifA
A．legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states
B．renters are warned not to violate traffic rules
C．more money is given to participating owners
D．people are aware of the importance of sharing
40．It can be learned from the text that car-sharingD
A．makes no profit                     
B．remains in popularity
C．is against the state law            
D．is a new business model．

3．High school dropouts（輟學(xué)者）earn an average of $ 9，000 less per year than graduates．Now a new study moves away a common belief why they quit．It's much more than failing in exams at school．
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can't cut it．They are lazy，and perhaps not too bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450kids who quit school about why they left．
"The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school．"John Bridgeland，the executive researcher said．About 1million teens leave school each year．Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision．So，if failing grades don't explain why these kids quit，what does？Again，John Bridgeland："The most dependable finding was that they were bored．""They found classes uninteresting； they weren't inspired or motivated．They didn't see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives，or to their possible careers．"
The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen，which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit．In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate．Only four states：California，Tennessee，Texas and Utah，plus the District of Columbia，require school attendance until age 18，no exceptions，another researcher says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school．
"As these dropouts look back，they realize they've made a mistake．And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end is probably a helpful measure．"
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18．But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point-the need for reform．It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant，and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something．

61．Most high school students drop out of school becauseD．
A．they often fail in exams               B．they are lazy and not intelligent
C．they are discriminated against         D．they find school learning boring
62．According to the passage，which state will have a law requiring school attendance until 18？D
A．California        B．Utah．     C．New Mexico       D．New Hampshire
63．What do the dropouts think of their decision to quit school？C
A．It was a good idea．
B．It was interesting and instructive．
C．It was a mistake．
D．It was a success．
64．What is the author's attitude towards high school students dropping out of school？C
A．Indifferent     B．Positive    C．Negative      D．Neutral．
65．What is the purpose of the author writing this article？A
A．To raise awareness of educational reforming in the USA．
B．To introduce the measures to stop students from dropping out of school．
C．To introduce the different regulations in the USA about students dropping out of school．
D．To analyze the reasons why many students drop out of school．

20．February 4，2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin．
    Among professional basketball players，Jeremy Lin's background is not typical．He graduated from Harvard University，which sends few players to the NBA，and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player．But when you watch him on the court，there is no doubt that he belongs there．He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice，which is fueled by a love for basketball．
    Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan．When Lin's father moved to U．S．，his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son，introducing him to the game at the age of five．The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun．
    In high school，Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA．When he applied for college，he was not offered a single sports scholarship．However，after his admission to Harvard，he was offered a place on its college basketball team．
    During Lin's time at Harvard，his basketball career began to speed up．He scored 1，482 points，making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history．
    When he graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract，but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League．He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors．
    At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement．He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years．But slowly，the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety．In a few very difficult months，he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up．
    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream，so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come．Then his moment arrived on February 4，2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight．After that，he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory．
    The Associated Press called Lin"the most surprising story in the NBA"．Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"（林發(fā)瘋）．Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World"，Jeremy Lin included．
No doubt，Lin fever is continuing to spread．If you haven't already caught"Linsanity"，get ready．
