The Circulation of Euro On January 1,2002, the Euro (欧元)became the single currency of 12 member states of the European Union. This will make it the second largest currency in the world (the U. S. dollar being the largest). It will also be the largest currency event in the history of the world. Twelve national currencies will disappear and be replaced by the Euro. The original seed was planted in 1946 when Winston Churchill suggested the creation of the "United States of Europe". His goals were primarily political, in that he hoped a unified government would bring about peace for a continent that had been torn apart by two world wars. Then, in 1952, six west-European countries took Churchill's suggestion and created the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC.. These resources were quite strategic to the power of each country, so a requirement of the ECSC was that each country allows their resources to be controlled by an independent authority. Their goal, just as Churchill had intended, was to help prevent military conflict between France and Germany. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome was signed, declaring the goal of creating a common European market. It was signed by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. After many false starts, the process of creating the Euro got its real start in 1989, when the Delors Report was published by Jacques Delors, President of the European Commission. This important report outlined a three-stage transition plan that would create a single European currency. Economically, the Euro's advantages include: Elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations--Any time either a consumer or a business made a commitment to buy something in a different country in the future (at future prices.), they stood the chance of paying much more (or less) than they had planned. The Euro eliminates the fluctuations of currency values across certain borders. Price transparency--Being able to easily tell if a price in one country is better than the price in another is also a big benefit, both for consumers and businesses. With price equalization (平等化) across borders, businesses have to be more competitive, pricing still varies, but consumers can more easily spot a good deal--or a bad one. Transaction costs--This is particularly helpful for tourists and others who cross several borders during the course of a trip. Before, they had to exchange their money as they entered each new country. The costs of all of these exchanges added up significantly. With the Euro, no exchanges are necessary within the Euroland countries. Increased trade across borders--The price transparency, elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations, and the elimination of exchange-transaction costs ail contribute to an increase in trade across borders of ail the Euroland countries. Increased cross-border employment--Not only can business be conducted across borders more easily, but people are more easily employable across borders. With a single currency, it is less difficult for people to cross into the next country to work, because their salary is paid in the same currency they use in their own country. Simplified billing--Billing for services, products, or other types of payments are simplified with the Euro. Expanding markets for business--Business can expand more easily into neighboring countries. Rather than having to set up separate accounting systems, banks, etc. for transactions in countries other than their native one, the Euro makes it simple to operate from a single central accounting office and use a single bank. Financial market stability--On a larger scale, the financial and stock exchanges can list every financial instrument in Euros rather than in each nation's unit of money. This has further meanings in that it promotes trade with less restriction internationally, as well as strengthens the European financial markets. Banks can offer financial products (loans, CDs, etc.) to countries throughout Euroland. Macroeconomic (整体经济) stability--Because of the European Central Bank (ECB., introduction of the Euro also helps to lower (and control) inflation among the EU countries. Lower interest rate--Because of the decreased exchange-rate risk, the Euro encourages lower interest rates. In the past, additional interest was charged to cover the risk of the exchange-rate fluctuation. This risk is gone with the introduction of the Euro. Structural reform for European economies--The participation requirements of the Euro pushed many EU member states who wanted to participate to get their economies in shape and improve their economic growth. With the requirements of the Stability and Growth Pact, they will also have to maintain that control in the future, or face fines. While there are many advantages to the. Euro, there are also some disadvantages. The cost of transitioning 12 countries' currencies over to a single currency could in itself be considered a disadvantage. Billions were spent not only producing the new currency, but in changing over accounting systems, software, printed materials, signs, vending machines, parking meters, phone booths, and every other type of machine that accepts currency. In addition, there were hours of training necessary for employees, managers, and even consumers. Every government from national to local had impact costs of the transition. This enormous task required many hours of organization, planning, and implementation, which fell on the shoulders of government agencies. The chance of economic shock is another risk that comes along with the introduction of a single currency. On a macro-economic level, fluctuations have in the past been controllable by each country. With their own national currencies, countries could adjust interest rates to encourage investments and large consumer purchases. The Euro makes interest-rate adjustments by individual countries impossible, so this form of recovery is lost. Interest rates for ail of Euroland are controlled by the European Central Bank. They could also devalue their currency in an economic downturn by adjusting their exchange rate. This devaluation (贬值) would encourage foreign purchases of their goods, which would then help bring the economy back to where it needed to be. Since there is no longer an individual national currency, this method of economic recovery is also lost. There is no exchange-rate fluctuation for individual Euro countries. A third way they could adjust to economic shocks was through adjustments in government spending, such as unemployment and social welfare programs. In times of economic difficulty, when layoffs increase and more citizens need unemployment benefits and other welfare funding, the government's spending increases to make these payments. This puts money back into the economy and encourages spending, which helps bring the country out of its recession. Because of the Stability and Growth Pact, governments are restricted to keeping their budget deficits within the requirements of the pact. This limits their freedom in spending during economically difficult times, and limits their effectiveness in pulling the country out of a recession. In addition to the chance of economic shock within Euroland countries, there is also the chance of political shock. The lack of a single voice to speak for all Euro countries could cause problems and tension among participants. There will always be the potential risk that a member country could collapse financially and adversely affect the entire system. 2、 On January 1, 2002, the Euro______.

Teachers either ignore readers, or neglect and abuse them, failing to recognize their learning potential. The reason for this can no longer be laid at the door of the publishers. Nowadays, a vast range of material is produced suitable for all interests, age ranges, and ability levels. It is more probably the attitude of the teacher, and thus, the student, which is responsible. Are any of the following close to your own attitude, or familiar to you from conversations with colleagues? Readers are an expensive luxury. The school cannot afford them. Other things must come first. We are trying to get through a fairly dense syllabus to equip our students, ultimately, for examinations; we cannot spare the time for frills (虚饰). Reading for pleasure is a private and personal thing. We cannot see how this can be used in the EFL classroom. We understand that extensive reading for pleasure can only improve language, but we have no way of checking that learning has taken place other than comprehension questions. These activities reduce the pleasure. The above are explanations, excuses, reasons and justifications from teachers talking about the scant use of readers in the classroom. Their comments illustrate three views prevalent at present. First, that teachers feel that time spared for readers will in some way deprive their students of certain key language skills and abilities. Second, those teachers are fostering or even pandering (迎合)to students' reluctance to read for pleasure. Finally, those teachers are unaware of how to use and exploit readers in their classrooms and therefore provide a limited range of activities, which in turn limits the responses of their students. If teachers take readers into classroom with any one, or a combination of the above attitudes, this will be passed on to the students who will then also believe that readers are preventing them from doing something more important and are a waste of valuable learning time. They read only to enable them to answer a comprehension task. It is up to the teacher to convince the reluctant reader that reading, either extensive or intensive, is pleasurable. Only one of many ways of obtaining pleasure is to be able to answer the teachers' comprehension check questions the following day. The world of reading will remain, and still be as inaccessible (达不到的) as ever to the student. 58、 In the past, the main reason for the reader's poor condition seems to be that______. A. there were not enough appropriate books available B. there were not responsible book publishers C. the teachers are not qualified to teach reading D. the teachers are not paying enough attention 59、 It seems that a lot of teachers think______. A. reading is a very pleasant learning process B. the only way to check reading is comprehension questions C. extensive reading is totally useless for language proficiency D. pleasure in reading is indispensable to learning reading well 60、 Wrong attitudes of teachers about readers will often bear the result that students will______. A. completely stop reading B. have to learn to read on their own C. give up reading to other tasks D. only read for more important things 61、 The passage can be entitled______. A. Problems in Teaching Reading B. Reading and Pleasure C. Reading and Effective Education D. How to Teach Reading Effectively 62、 The author's attitude towards future reading teaching seems to be______. A. confident B. optimistic C. pessimistic D. indifferent Passage Two Home-schooling is on the rise in recent years all over America. So there is certainly an ideological (意识形态的)edge to many home-schoolers. But do not be misled. First, this is a bottom-up movement with parents of whatever political stripe making individual decisions to withdraw their children rather than following orders from higher up. Second, the movement has a utilitarian (功利主义的) edge. Home-schoolers simply believe that they can offer their children better education at home. One-to-one tuition, goes the argument, enables children to go at their own pace, rather than at a pace set for the convenience of teaching unions. And children can be taught "proper" subjects based on the Judeo-Christian tradition of learning, rather than politically correct flimflam (胡说). This sounds backward-looking, but home-schoolers claim that technology is on their side. The internet is making it ever easier to teach people at home, ever more teaching materials are available, and virtual communities now exist that allow home-schoolers to interchange information. The other factor working in home-schooling's favor is its own success. Many parents have been nervous about home-schooled children being isolated. With almost every town in America now boasting its own home-schooling network, that worry declines. Home-schooled children can play baseball with other home-schooled children; they can go on school trips; and so on. What about academic standards? The home-schooling network buzzes with good news: a family with three home-schooled children at Harvard; a home-schooler with a bestselling novel; first, second and third place in the 2000 National Spelling Bee; a first university for home-schooled children. Systematic evidence is more difficult to find. There are certainly signs that home-schoolers are thriving. One recent survey by the HSLDA showed that three-quarters of home-educated adults aged 18-24 have taken college-level courses compared with 46% of the general population. But this is hardly conclusive. Home-schoolers do not have to report bad results. Moreover, home-schoolers may simply come from the more educated part of the population. Yet these arguments point to change in the way the debate is unfolding. It is no longer about whether home-schooled children are losing out, but whether they are doing unfairly well. "Maybe we should subcontract all of public education to home-schoolers," Bill Bennett, Mr. Reagan's education secretary, once made fun of it. That looks unlikely. But America's home-schoolers represent an attack on public education that teachers everywhere should pay attention to. 63、 The number of children taught at home is rising, because more and more parents______. A. are better educated than before B. are freed from their career to teach their children C. are willing to educate their children themselvesD. are afraid their children would be harmed by school crimes 64、 Why do many home-schoolers' parents believe that public education is inferior? A. Public schools take into consideration every individual child's learning speed. B. Public schools are charging more than they can offer to the full-development of students. C. Public schools cannot offer enough teaching materials to every individual child. D. Public schools often teach students too much useless political nonsense. 65、 Parents stop being too concerned with the possible isolation of their home-schooled children when______. A. organized activities are also open to home-schooled children B. virtual communities have made information exchange possible C. the Internet has provided more updated materials D. parents are able to stay at home for longer hours 66、 We can learn from the text that______. A. most public school students are inferior to home-schooled ones B. some home-schooled students have learnt better than school-educated children in certain fields C. home-schooling will eventually substitute school education in America D. home-schooled children have a more promising future than those educated in schools 67、 The author suggests at the end of the passage that______. A. it is not fair for home-schoolers to have more social achievements B. home-schooling will soon be able to sweep away formal education C. teachers in public schools should quit their jobs and become private tutors D. home-schooling has constituted a minor threat to the existing public education system Part ?

Writing 1、[范文] My View on Spam Message With the increasing use of cell phones, spam message has become a hated problem. A piece of spam message can disturb, confuse, or threaten people at any time. There are several reasons for it. For senders, they can advertise their products in such a cheap way. What's worse, some even make money by cheating receivers. For those in charge of personal information of cell phone users, some*of them can not resist the temptation to make profit simply by disclosing information to those law breakers. To solve this problem, people should act together. Firstly, the government should set up laws to punish both senders and those who disclose information. Secondly, cell phone users should never make responses to spam message. Finally, researchers should develop software to help delete that rubbish automatically. With the joint efforts, the problem of spam message will definitely be solved some day.

According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board's Scholarship Service, (26) tuition at most American universities will be an average of 9 percent higher this year than last. The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges heavily subsidized by tax founds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few points lower than their privately sponsored neighbors. As a follow-up, the United States international press did theft own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At M. I.T. advisors recommended that students have $ 8,900 available for one year's expenses, including $ 5,300 for tuition, $ 2,685 for room and board, $ 630 for personal expenses, and $ 285 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 2,150. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 150 percent in the last decade. An additional burden is placed out of state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $ 200 to $ 2,000, and (27) foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities. On the bright side, (28) the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 20,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary. 26.

(29) Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. A woman is capable of standing in front of a hill of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. (30) Women who cannot afford to throw away clothes in this way, waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with important things like warmth, comfort and durability. (31) They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will But up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look beautiful. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. 29.

In America alone one car is stolen every 32 seconds. That's almost a million cars each year. And of those, (32) 40% are never recovered. And don't think that just because your car might be a bit old and beaten-up looking no one will steal it. Any car can be stolen anywhere. Most thefts occur in residential areas, often the front of the house or even from inside the garage. (33) Some areas that are especially dangerous are shopping centers and parking lots, particularly at sports events. Most car thieves don't need to break into the car. (34) They usually gain entry through unlocked doors and many times they find the key in the car. In fact, it is amazing that one in five stolen cars had the keys left in the car. 20% of drivers left the keys in an unlocked car. There are basically two kinds of car or bike thieves: non-professionals usually aged about 15 to 21, and professionals. This last group usually needs less than one minute to break into a locked car and they often steal cars to use in other crimes such as robberies. You are much less likely to get your car back if it's stolen by a professional, (35) and if it's stolen by the first group, it will be badly damaged when you do get it back because they have a very high accident rate. 32. How many stolen cars can be recovered each year? 由选项推测本题与百分数有关。文中“recover”意为“追回”。本题关键句为“...40% are never recovered”，只有60% 能追回，故正确答案为A)。 34、C [解析] Which is the place where car theft most likely occurs? 由选项推测本题与地点有关。本题关键句为“Some areas that are especially dangerous are shopping centers and parking lots”，可知盗车案最容易发生在购物中心和停车场，故正 确答案为C)。 35、B [解析] How can car thieves commit the crime? 由选项推测本题与如何偷车有关。本题关键句为“They usually gain entry through unlocked doors and many times they find the key in the car”，可知他们是利用车没上锁或在 车上找钥匙来盗车的，故正确答案为B)。 36、B [解析] What might happen to a car after it is stolen by a non-professional? 由选项推测本题与如何处理赃车有关。本题关键句为“...and if it's stolen by the first group, it will be badly damaged when you do get it back because they have a very high accident rate”，可知如果车被非专业偷车团伙盗窃，会严重受损，因为他们发 生事故的几率很高。故正确答案为B)。 Section C 37、speculations [解析] 动词involve后需要名词或代词作宾语。 38、technology [解析] 。or连接并列结构，此处需要填名词。 39、titles [解析] 介词of之后需要填名词或代词。 40、Furthermore [解析] 此处需要填副词修饰全句。 41、classics [解析] 定冠词the之后，需要填名词。 42、mention [解析] 动词不定式to之后需要填动词。 43、adventure [解析] 名词story之前需要填名词或形容词作定语。 44、literature [解析] 介词in之后需要填名词。 45、These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society [解析] concerned，presentation，ideal 46、They are more interested in predicting the effect of technical progress on society and the human mind [解析] interested, predicting, effect, technical, progress 47、In an age when scientific fact frequently overtakes science fiction [解析] scientific fact, frequently, overtake, science fiction Part ? Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A 48、J)。 空格处单词位于不定式符号to之前，而且这半句话缺少谓语动词，应填入动词。该句意为:尽管他 们在城区工作，大部分还是不喜欢住在城区。因此J)prefer...to“宁可，宁愿(选择)，更喜欢” 符合题意。 49、H)。 空格处单词位于be动词之后，缺少表语。该句意思为:现代的美国妇女已经习惯于每周开车逛一次 超市。 be accustomed to do sth(意为“习惯于做某事”，因此H)accustomed“通常的，习 惯的;按风俗习惯的”符合题意。 50、K)。 空格处单词位于定冠词the之后，因此需要填入名词。根据前面提到的buying all their food可知，K) supermarket“超级市场”符合题意。 51、F)。 空格处单词位于动词不定式符号to之后，代词it之前，需要填入动词。该句意思为:美国人一回到家里，就以极大的热情尽力改善自己的居家环境……，因此F)improve“改善，改进”符合题意。transform是指人、物在性质上或形态上发生彻底或基本的变化，与题意不符。 52、G)。 空格处位于不定冠词a之后，介词to之前，因此需要填人名词。该句意为:当你的家一切应有尽有，舒适而又充满吸引力时，你便会愿意呆在那里。因此G)desire“愿望”符合题意，a strong desire意为“一个迫切的愿望”。 53、I)。 空格处单词修饰home，和well-equipped, comfortable并列，意思与其相近，所以需要填入形容词。因此I) attractive“有吸引力的”符合题意。 54、E)。 空格处位于be动词和副词短语no longer之后，需要形容词作表语。该句意为:美国人尽可能使家变得完美舒服，即使是私人游泳池也不再是富豪之家才能享受的了。由此可知，E)reserved“留作专用的，预订的，储备的”符合题意。 55、C)。 空格处位于be动词与动词occupying之间，因此需要副词。该句意为:美国人在闲暇时总会为孩子和大人们举行各种各样的晚会……由此可知C)constantly“不断地，时常地”符合题意。 56、B)。 空格处位于不定冠词a和名词people之间，需要形容词。该句意为:但是，美国人是一个静不下来的民族，他们总喜欢搬家。由此可知，B)restless“不安定的”符合题意。 57、A)。 空格处单词位于物主代词their之后，需要填入名词，且和动词end搭配。该句意为:尽管美国人喜欢郊区的生活气氛，但他们决不会就此停止自己的追求。 Section B Passage One 58、A [解析] 由题干中的the reader's poor condition定位到原文首段首句The reader has long been the victim of the EFL classroom. [精析] 原文首段定位句下文说道“这一责任不能够再归结于出版商了”，言外之意就是以前责任被归于出版商。而后面又补充说“有大量的各种内容的材料适合满足所有的兴趣、年龄段和能力水平的需求”，证明以前出版商有责任的原因是没有出版满足不同兴趣、年龄段和能力水平的读物。也就是说没有足够的可获得的合适的材料。A)含义与之符合，故为正确答案。 [排除干扰] B)“没有负责任的图书出版商”含义原文没有提及，故排除;C)“教师不符合教阅读的要求”和 D)“教师没有尽心尽力”为对一直以来教师可能存在的不足的推断，但非题干所问在过去导致该结果的主要原因，故均排除。 59、B [解析] 由题干中的a lot of teachers think定位到原文第二段第七句。 [精析] 原文第二段列举了很多教师的态度，其中We understand that extensive reading for pleasure can only improve language， but we have no way of checking that learning has taken place other than comprehension questions与B)“唯一的检测阅读的办法就是阅读理解”相符，故为正确答案。 [排除干扰] 由原文第二段第五、六句“为了愉悦而阅读是个人私事。我们看不出如何能将其运用在英语教学中”可知A)不符;C)“泛读对精通语言一点用也没有”与原文不符，而且观点绝对化;D)“阅读中的愉悦对学好阅读是必不可少的”，这恰恰是作者提倡而老师们未能体会到的问题，而题干问的是老师们的想法;故均排除。 60、C [解析] 由题干中的Wrong attitudes和readers定位到原文第三段末尾两句If teachers...this will be passed on to the students who will...a waste of valuable learning time. They read only to...a comprehension task. [精析] 原文第三段末尾说“如果教师带着以上任何一种或几种态度把读物带到教室的话，这种态度会被传递给学生，而学生们也会认为阅读会妨碍他们做更重要的事情，浪费了他们宝贵的学习时间。那么他们阅读就只是为了去回答阅读理解题了”，这说明学生可能把阅读作为不太重要的事情，也就是把阅读放在比其他任务次要的位置上。C)“学生们将会因为别的任务而放弃阅读”与之相符，为正确答案。 [排除干扰] A)“学生们会完全停止阅读”与原文不符，且观点绝对化;B)“学生们将不得不依靠自己来学会阅读”，原文并未提及;D)是对原文的错误推理，doing something more important并不等于read for more important things，前者还可能包括做阅读以外的事情;故均排除。 61、A [解析] 题目要求选择文章标题，纵观全文，尤其开头或结尾段表主旨部分。 [精析] 原文第一段是个引子，第二段列举了许多教师对待阅读的不良态度，第三段分析了这些态度的后果，第四段作者提了自己的观点。可见文章的主题在于分析教师教授阅读中的不良态度，也就是教授阅读教学中的问题。故A)“阅读教学中的问题”正确。 [排除干扰] B)“阅读与乐趣”，该文章的重点是阅读教学中无法得到和实现乐趣，故不符合;C)中Effective Education“有效教育”在原文没有涉及;D)干扰性较强，但文章并没有把主要笔墨放在讲述该如何教授阅读上，不准确，均排除。 62、C [解析] 由题干中的author's attitude towards future reading teaching定位到原文第四段末句The world of reading will remain, and still be as inaccessible as ever to the student. [精析] 原文最后一句说“阅读的世界依然存在，而且对于学生来说还是像以往一样无法接近”，证明作者感到阅读的现状不会改变，可知作者持悲观的态度，故C)“悲观的”为正确答案。 [排除干扰] A)“有信心的”、B)((乐观的”和D)“漠不关心的”均与原文不符，均可排除。 Passage Two 63、C [解析] 由题干中的rising定位到原文首段首句Home-schooling is on the rise in recent years all over America。 [精析] 原文首段定位句下文解释说，首先，这是一个自下而上的运动，不论家长的政治派别是什么，他们自主决定把孩子放在家里教育，而不是听从上面的命令这样做。这说明在家学习的学生越来越多的原因不是家长受别人逼迫，而是他们乐意自己教育孩子。故C)“越来越多的家长乐意自己教育自己的孩子”与之相符，为正确答案。 [排除干扰] A)“越来越多的家长受到更好的教育”，下文说可能存在这样的情况，但只是推测;B)“越来越多的家长辞职以教育自己的孩子”和D)“越来越多的家长担心自己的孩子会受校园犯罪灼伤害”在原文均没有涉及，故都排除。 64、D [解析] 由题干中的public education is inferior定位到原文第二段首句Home-schoolers simply believe that they can offer their children better education at home. [精析] 原文第二段提到家长认为一对一的教学有两个好处，其一是让孩子可以按照自己的速度学习;其二是可以设定合理的科目，而不是教授孩子政治上的浅薄谎言。D)“社会学校经常教授孩子太多的无意义的政治性东西”与原文相符。 [排除干扰] A)“社会学校考虑每个孩子的学习速度”与原文意思相反，原文中“考虑每个孩子的学习速度”是家庭教育的特点，故排除;B)关于收费的含义原文没有涉及，故排除;C)“学校不能给每个孩子足够的学习材料”，原文是说家庭式教育技术的可能性之一是能比以往获得更多的学习材料，而不是说学校学习材料不足，故排除。 65、A [解析] 由题干中的isolation of their home-school children定位到原文第三段第二句 Many parents have been nervous about home-schooled children being isolated. [精析] 原文第三段提到:很多家长担心在家里学习的孩子会感到孤独，但是当美国各个城镇都鼓吹家庭教育网络时，家长放心了许多。后面提到在家里受教育的孩子可以一起打棒球、旅行等。这些都是有组织的活动。因此就不再过于担心孩子的孤独问题了，故A)“有组织的活动也对在家上学的孩子开放”正确。 [排除干扰] 由原文第二段可推知B)“虚拟社区使得信息交流成为可能”和C)“互联网提供了最新的资料”为家长主张家庭教育的论据，与题干不符;D)“家长可以在家待更长的时间”为主观性推理，但是在原文并非提及，故排除。 66、B [解析] 由题干中的learn from the text 以及四个选项提示可以定位到原文第四段细节部分。 [精析] 原文第四段提供了很多证据说明在家受教育的学生在有些方面很突出，但是最后一句说还很难找到系统的证据，可以推测这不是普遍现象，而是个例。故B)“一些在家受教育的学生在某些领域比公立学校学生强”与原文相符，为正确答案。 [排除干扰] A)“大部分受学校教育的学生不如受家庭教育的学生”说法绝对化，与原文不符;C)“在美国家庭教育将最终取代学校教育”是对原文做出的主观推测，原文没有提及;原文并没有对两种教育下的孩子的未来进行对比，故D)“在家上学的孩子比在学校的孩子的未来更有希望”与原文不符。 67、D [解析] 由题干中the end of the passage 定位到原文末段末句But America's home-schoolers represent an attack on public education that teachers everywhere should pay attention to. [精析] 原文末尾一句由but引导的句子说“但是美国主张在家里上学的人士代表了对公共教育的一次攻击，这是必须引起所有教师的注意的”。由此可以推测D)“家庭教育已经构成对公共教育体制的小小的威胁”正确。 [排除干扰] A)“受家庭教育者获得更多的社会成就是不公平的”，该内容并未在原文没有涉及;B)“家庭教育很快能够彻底取代正式教育”引申自作者引用的Bill Bennett 的观点，但该观点在原文中含有正话反说的讽刺意味;C)“学校教师应该辞职去作私人家教”在原文没有涉及;故均可排除。 Part ? Cloze 68、A 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“这时需要面临的挑战是以恰当的方式接受批评”，accept意为“接受，认可”，可以接criticism作宾语，符合句意。accumulate“积聚，堆积”;absorb“吸收，吸引”;advance“前进，提前”这几个词均不能接criticism作宾语，排除。 69、C 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“如果你同意为某人工作，你就需要按照那个人的 标准 excel标准偏差excel标准偏差函数exl标准差函数国标检验抽样标准表免费下载红头文件格式标准下载 开展工作”。从下一句话中的your employer一词可以看出，你应该是为别人工作，所以work for符合句意。look for“寻找”; care for“关心，关怀”;wait for“等待”，这些短语都不符合句意，排除。 70、C 固定搭配题。句意见68题。according to 意为“按照，遵循”，后面可以接standard作宾语，符合句意。其他三个介词都不能和according搭配，排除。 71、D 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“既然雇主给你发放薪水，如果你的表现或者行为不能达到要求的标准，那么他/她就有权利对你提出批评”。根据常识，雇主给员工发放薪水，所以选择pay符合句意，Pay one's salary“付给某人工资”。earn“赚，挣得”;expect“期待，盼望”;receive“收到，接到”，这几个词都与句意不符，排除。 72、B 语义衔接题。句意见70题。雇主给员工发工资，当然也就有权利要求员工按照既定的标准开展工作，所以选择right(权利)符合句意，正确答案为B)。skill“技能，技巧”;chance“机会，可能性”;way“路线，方法”，这几个词均不符合句意，排除。 73、B 语义衔接题。句意见70题。根据句意，遭到雇主的批评应该是在工作没有达到既定标准的情况下，所以用meet和后面standard搭配，意思为“达到标准”，符合句意。lower(降低)和raise(提高)是反义词，都可以和standard搭配，但是不符合句意，排除;settle(定居，解决)不与standard搭配，排除。 74、A 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“如果雇主的批评是理所当然的，不要试图辩解或者否认自己的错误”。deserved“应受的，应得的”符合句意。reserved“保留的”;unkind“无情的，刻薄的”;sympathetic“有同情的”，这些词均不能用于修饰criticism，故排除。 75、C 结构衔接题。这句的意思是“坦然地接受，真诚地承诺自己将会改进工作”。with短语可以作伴随状语，而且符合句意，所以正确答案为C)。without可以作伴随状语，但是不符合句意，排除。其他两个介词均没有这种用法，排除。 76、B 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“你甚至可以要求批评你的人给你提出如何进行改进的建议”。本句与前一句是递进关系，所以even(甚至)符合句意。 77、D 语义衔接题。句意见75题。上句提到面对批评的正确态度是坦然接受，做出承诺要make improvements，所以这一句提到寻找改进的方法，improve(改进，改善)符合句意，所以正确答案为D)。benefit“有益于，有助于”;withdraw“收回，撤销”;differ“不同，不一致”，均不符合句意，排除。 78、A 结构衔接题。这句的意思是“如果你感觉遭受的批评没有事实依据，你应该机智地提出一些事实来支持你的看法”。对于雇主提出的批评，本段从合理和不合理两个方面分析对策。段首的if从句提到了从“合理”的角度分析，与之相对应，本句也用if从句从“不合理”的角度进行分析，所以if符合句意。 79、D 语义衔接题。句意见77题。既然雇主的批评没有依据，自然需要摆出事实来支持自己的看法和观点， support(支持)符合句意，所以正确答案为D)。discard“丢弃，抛弃”;reverse“颠倒，倒转”;shake“摇动，颤抖”，均不合题意，排除。 80、D 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“如果你的雇主或上司频繁地不公正地批评你，尤其在他人面前批评你，你就应该要求私下里与他会面，讨论一下原因”。主句中建议要私下找雇主或上司谈论一下，就是因为受到了不公正的批评，如果批评得很公正的话，上一段中建议坦然接受，所以unfairly(不公正地)符合句意。 81、B 语义衔接题。句意见79题。句中建议在频繁遭受不公正待遇时，应该主动要求进行私下会谈，所以request (请求，要求)符合句意。recall“回忆，回想”;reject“拒绝，抵制”;remind"提醒，使想起”。 82、D 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“如果你已经尽最大努力进行了必要的改进，却仍然不断地遭到批评，那么你就应该考虑去其他的部门另谋职位或者寻找其他的雇主”。本句承接上句中的“频繁遭到雇主的批评”，所以填人criticism(批评，批判)符合句意，正确答案为D)。 83、B 语义衔接题。句意见81题。根据句意，即使你尽最大努力进行所有的必要改进，所以填入all用于强调，符合句意。 84、A 语义衔接题。句意见81题。连接词or表示并列关系，前后的意思相似，后面为looking for another employer“寻找另一位雇主”，也就是“换个职位”，所以前面填入position构成短语seeking a position“谋一个职位”，符合句意。product“产品，产物”;privilege“特权，特别待遇”;promotion“晋升，提拔”。 85、C 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“上司或雇主的不必要的批评带来的折磨使员工陷入了一种不健康的情绪状态和一种„无法成功?的境况”。前文提到的雇主对员工的批评产生了负面影响，所以填入unnecessary“不必要的”符合句意，正确答案为C)。necessary“必要的，必需的”;suspicious“可疑的，怀疑的”;indispensable“不可缺少的”。 86、A 结构衔接题。句意见84题。句中的an unhealthy emotional atmosphere 与a“no-win”situation是并列关系，所以and为正确答案。 87、C 语义衔接题。这句的意思是“你不需要不公正的负担和压力”。所填词应该和pressure感情色彩一致，故 aggravation“加重负担”符合句意，正确答案为C)。stimulation“刺激，鼓舞”;motivation“动力，动机”; reversion“回复，复原”。 Part ?
