1．Holidays are really important．Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways．
But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable．Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet．
For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare．When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year．Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday．For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．
The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment．The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day．Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support．Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils．During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed．
While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live．The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning．
In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council （委員會(huì)）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a．more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two-week break．We believe this will give real"down time"for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．
We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities．However，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．

71．The passage is probably written byD．
A．a(chǎn)n experienced teacher
B．a(chǎn) working parent
C．a(chǎn)n inspired student
D．a(chǎn) city council member
72．The underlined word"they"in the second paragraph refers to"B"．
A．environments     B．holidays    C．wages     D．benefits
73．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced toB．
A.2weeks     B.4.5weeks      C.5weeks      D.6weeks
74．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help studentsC．
A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
B．get a chance to spend，six weeks a term with teachers in school
C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
D．have more school days to receive free school meals
75．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real"down time"
D．some school staff will say"No"to the plans for a shorter summer holiday．

3．Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy．Of course，this didin't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents．
But when it comes to medicine，I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients．After all，the doctor patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential，Or so I thought．
I had just started working in geriatrics（老年病科）．Mr．McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen．I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance．She'd been his main carer for years．I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history．"Has he lost any weight recently？"I asked，"Well，it's funny you should mention that，but yes．"She said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．"Why？What are you worried about？"she asked，I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth．"Well，we need to prove it's not cancer．"I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．
Half an hour later，a nurse called me："Mr．McMahon's daughter broke down-she said you told her he had cancer．"My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr．McMahon，she turned to me．"Why on carch did you do that？"she asked to disbelief．I looked at her andbit my hp．"She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．"I said，hanging my head．"And give her more to worry about？"replied my consultant．"You don't say the word‘cancer'until it's confirmed．Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people．"
As it turned out，it wasn't cancer．But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear-and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this．In being truthful，I'd made the situation worse．

51．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the authorC．
A．misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship
B．was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C．regarded honesty as the best policyD．had an unhealthy eating habit

A．he told the daughter what he suspected．
B．he delayed running the necessary tests．
C．he failed to confirm the parent's disease．
D．he forgot what the consultant had advised．
53．The author hung his head （the underlined part in Para.4）because he was feeling．D
A．guilty    B．hurt    C．disappointed    D．helpless
54．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience？C
A．Learning form parents is necessary．
B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous．
C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution．
D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy．

9．When I was growing up in America，I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English．Because of her English，she was often treated unfairly．People in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her．
     My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well．When I was fifteen，she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she．I was foxed to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rode to her．One time I had to call her stockbroker （股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人）．I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing，"This is Mrs．Tan．"
     And my mother was standing beside me，whispering loudly，"Why he don't send me cheek，already two week late．"
     And then，in perfect English I said，"I'm getting rather concerned．You agreed to send the check two weeks ago，but it hasn't arrived．"
     Then she talked more loudly．"What he want？I come to New York tell him front of his boss．"And so I turned to the stockbroker again，"I can't tolerate any more excuse．If I don't receive the cheek immediately，I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week．"
     The next week we ended up in New York．While I was sitting there red-faced，my mother，the real Mrs．Tan，was shouting to his boss in her broken English．
     When I was a teenager，my mother's broken English embarrassed me．But now，I see it differently．To me，my mother's English is perfectly clear，perfectly natural．It is my mother tongue．Her language，as I hear it，is vivid，direct，and full of observation and wisdom．It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things，expressed ideas，and made sense of the world．

41．Why was the author's mother poorly served？A
A．She was unable to speak good English．

A．they forgave the stockbroker

D．they spoke to their boss at once
44．What does the author think of her mother's English now？C
A．It confuses her．
B．It e mbarrasses her．
C．It helps her understand the world．
D．It helps her tolerate rude people．
